7 Answers to Questions About Cockatoos As Pets
By Debbie Davis
Cockatoos are strikingly beautiful Parrots with regal crests that set them apart from all others. They are affectionate, playful, and make charming companions. Here are answers to 7 frequently asked questions that will give you more general information, knowledge, understanding, and appreciation of the Cockatoo.
How well do they speak? They are not known as one of the best talking birds, but they can learn some words, but differences in ability will vary greatly between species and in individual birds.
What should normal maintenance include? Too's need to have their cage cleared of droppings daily, water freshened as often as needed, and a daily supply of fresh fruits, vegetables, high quality pellet mix, and sprouted seeds. Keep an extra set or 2 of dishes for food and water to make daily cleaning of food and water dishes easier. Be sure to remove fresh food after several hours to prevent mold growth, and avoid having your bird ingest spoiled food. Keep an eye on toys and remove those that are worn and present a safety issue. Clean perches and cage bars weekly, and clear away debris on the walls and floors.
Are Cockatoos available only in white? Even though white is the color seen most often, there are an amazing variety of colors available. Pink, glossy black/dark brown, black with yellow, red or white tails, gray with rose-colored breast, black with yellow ears, and white are just some of the fantastic color combinations. Be prepared to pay handsomely as the Red-tail Black Cockatoo can cost as much as $20,000 USD.
How noisy are they? To answer this question in one word-very. In the wild, their screams are so loud they can be heard for miles. Training, and proper daily attention will eliminate a lot of this, but nothing eliminates it completely. And the noise your individual bird makes may differ from what is considered normal-either more or less. Your ability and your family's ability to tolerate it will also be a huge determining factor. They may not make the best bird for apartment, townhouse, or condo living, but again, a lot of this will depend on the individual bird.
How are they with children and other pets? Cockatoos can become excited very easily when exposed to quick movements, and loud unexpected sounds. A home with small children may not be the best place, but older children can be well tolerated. Proceed with caution with other pets, particularly smaller ones like hamsters and guinea pigs. Keep other animals separate until you are sure that they all get along. Never leave your bird alone or unsupervised with a child or pet.
How often do they need to be bathed? They need a shower or bath weekly to get rid of the feather dust and keep plumage healthy. Some will handle this bit of grooming if a bowl of lukewarm water is made available as a bird bath. Otherwise, use a spray of lukewarm water, or equip your shower with a shower perch for your bird and let it shower with you once a week making sure to keep the water temperature warm and on the mist setting.
What can be done about the feather dust they create? Feather dust is a natural part of their growth and development. They are exposed to this dust in far greater amounts in your home than they would be in the wild. It is important to keep this dust level down for you and your bird because it can clog their air passages and your lungs which can lead to respiratory infections and disease. And while weekly baths will help, one of the best ways to virtually eliminate this dust is to use a high efficiency particle arresting (HEPA) air purifier that will remove all airborne pollutants, especially this dust down to .3 microns.
An excellent HEPA air purifier for Cockatoos that will remove feather dust and other airborne pollutants from the air is offered by PurerAir – the Bird Dander Purifier See it now athttp://purerair.com/bird_dander_air_purifier.html

Negotiators Quotes
We always said that we would accept a short-term extension to give negotiators time to get the final bill right. We will use the extension to seek a Patriot Act that gives the government the tools it needs to fight the terrorists, while still protecting the rights of innocent Americans. - Harry Reid

We report a tunable microdoublet lens capable of creating dual modes of biconvex or meniscus lens. The microdoublet lens consists of a tunable liquid-filled lens and a solid negative lens. It can be tuned either by changing the shape of the liquid-filled lens into bi-convex or meniscus or by changing a filling media with different refractive index. The micro-fabrication is based on photopolymer microdispensing and elastomer micromolding methods. The microdoublet lens can provide a solution for minimizing optical aberrations and maximizing the tunability of focal length or field of view by controlling variable and fixed lens curvatures.

Our factory in Portugal
Portugal has a long history in the textile industry and craftsmanship. This history, together with advanced technology and education on the field, makes Portugal one of the leading European textile producers. The strong presence of the industry in the area was one of the main reasons to choose Portugal as home for our production and the factory.
Black Moda Portugal, Lda is situated in the town of Ponte de Lima, in the northern Portugal and has 65 workers at present, working in a 1 200 square meter facility, under the administration of Riikka Keski-Vähälä de Oliveira. Our factory specializes in the sewing of knitted adults' and children's clothing.
Our own European production and the Öko-tex certification guarantee that the article is safe to the final consumer. Öko-tex can only be used if the whole production process is certified. A safe, clean, ecological and ethic manufacture, the people and the quality are our focus.
Because we have our own production, we can have a fast contact with the suppliers involved in the production chain, such as dye houses, printing companies and other facilities.
We want to answer the growing need of the consumer to know where and how their clothes were made and, consequently, we want to tell the story behind our articles.

Are these not the greatest!
One of our customers has brought in his collection of needle felted African animals for us to display during the Spring Show and Share from tomorrow until Saturday. They really are amazing.
Come and see. And while you're at it, bring something in yourself in the next day or two. We usually have about 25 or 30 customers who contribute to each of our Show and Shares but I guess everyone was so mesmerized by the sunshine this weekend that we're down quite a bit from normal numbers. Hope to see some more of you in tomorrow.
The Spring Clean Up Sale continues until Saturday, and there are still some great buys to be had so don't miss out on it. The road sign that we have out on Gardiners Road is an amazing tool. I haven't seen so many new faces in years. It's amazing what a sign that says "20%-70% off" can do to drivers who sail past us on a regular basis. It's great.
For the first time in a long time, I have something to bring into the Show and Share too. I finished my husband's sweater that I began as I was touring around Cape Breton last September. It's a cream pullover in DK weight alpaca and features a tree of life motif in a see stitch frame on the front.
He thinks that it took me a ridiculously long time to make it; I am amazed that it's done already as I was kind of giving myself as an absolute deadline his August birthday. Anyway, it was an interesting exercise, reknitting an exact replica of a sweater that I had actually made for him about 10 years ago but as styles change needed to be longer and bigger. I kept believing that I didn't really need to look up Lucy Neatby's directions for "magic 2 layered button holes on a stocking stitch border" and I probably didn't do any worse than I would have if I had looked up the directions. But I do remember that I was making the first version of the sweater when I went to Mabel Corlett's fabulous weekend knitters' retreat, one of the last years that it was at "The Opinicon." Each project has it's own tale to tell.

Residents of The Sooner State can call a Trane Comfort Specialist™ to schedule an inspection of their HVAC systems.
Oklahoma's position in Tornado Alley has climatological implications beyond twisters. Cold, dry Canadian air combines with warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico to sometimes create volatile conditions. The record high of 83 and low of 17 in Oklahoma City were both set on the same day. You can depend on a Trane system to handle Oklahoma weather. Trane has built heating and air conditioning systems for more than 120 years, making a name for itself with quality products and service.
Each HVAC system has an efficiency rating. Air conditioners have a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) while furnaces and heat pumps have Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE).

A Challenge
2 comments:
Interestingly, my daughter and I are getting ready to make a mini nine patch quilt which will be fun since we've never quilted before. But that's not why I'm here. What a pleasant surprise to see your comment on my blog! You've been in my prayers for quite awhile now and I'm so pleased to read about you and your husband going for counseling! It won't be easy but I'm so glad, especially the fact that you are happy about this. I will pray for you both. May God bless your time together and give you both what you need to heal.ReplyDelete
By the way, I love this fabric! Have fun with it! Oh, about the yak sweater - no it doesn't smell yakkish (thankfully) it truly is beautiful and warm, does not itch at all like other wool does. I love it, just wish it didn't shed!
Hugs from your friend, Kate
Oh, I like those colors! What a great challenge to undertake!!! Good luck! We're cheering you on!!!ReplyDelete

Contact: Vicki Christner - CUNA Communications; 202-329-9950; email@example.com
Washington (Aug. 4, 2016) - Credit Union National Association President/CEO Jim Nussle's statement of appreciation for Rep. Steve LaTourette, who passed away Aug. 3:
"Credit unions are forced to say goodbye to a true friend with the passing of former Rep. Steve LaTourette (R-Ohio). Steve and I served together in the House for 12 years and he was a good friend and a great voice for the people of Ohio.
"The credit union world--CUNA most certainly included--will never forget the bold role Steve took to preserve consumers' access to financial choice. By co-sponsoring the landmark 1998 Credit Union Membership Access Act (H.R. 1151), he acted to preserve the right of consumers to join credit unions, essentially overturning a Supreme Court decision on the matter. Steve's leadership was key to the success of that momentous fight, and it illustrates just one time of many when he fought the good fight for credit union priorities.
"The credit union community extends its deepest sympathy to the congressman's family and friends and to all those who mourn his passing."

Pippa Holt's handmade cotton kaftans symbolise ease and versatility - "they pack small, work day and night, on a beach, in a city, with or without a belt," she explains. Cut for a loose fit, this purple striped style has vibrant multi-coloured motifs. Slip it on over your bikini for trips to the market or a poolside lunch. Wild Marigold flowers are used for the yellow threads whereby they are soaked in boiling water. How long the threads are soaked for is determined by the intensity of the colour that is required. +
The Pippa Holt Kaftan label is a celebration of Holt's love of indigenous textiles, bold colours and far-flung travel. Collaborating with a group of artisans in a remote part of Mexico (Felipa, head weaver has been weaving for more than 50 years), together they have created a range of bold, colourful and stylish kaftans that exude an understated luxury which works as well in the city as it does on the beach. Holt's editorial background as a stylist at British Vogue, a degree in fashion design combined with her love of travel is very much evident in her collection. Growing up on the beaches of Australia, she was inspired by her grandmother's style of tropical dressing at her seaside holiday home on The Great Barrier Reef.
Comfortably fits those who are between a size Xsmall-Xlarge. This item's measurements are: Approximately 82cm wide x 139cm long
* Each kaftan is woven by hand and is unique, therefore measurements can vary slightly.

"As regards investment in housing sector, the REITs structure we positioned in this year's Budget... I would expect some of the REITs to start functioning very shortly," Economic Affair Secretary Shaktikanta Das said.
In order to provide fillip to investments in realty sector, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had in Budget rationalised capital gain tax regime for the sponsors of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs).
REITs, an investment avenue on the lines of one in developed markets like the US, the UK, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore, can be listed and trading would be allowed in units of REITs like any other security on stock exchanges.
Asked if banks need to lower interest rates to boost housing sector, Das said interest rate is a decision of individual banks. "There has been an increase in the FII, FPI limits for GSecs. I am sure banks will see the overall situation and take a call (on interest rates)".
Following 0.50 per cent cut in rates by RBI last month, State Bank of India has effected maximum reduction in base rate (0.40 per cent), while some banks are yet to cut.
As regards subsidy expenditure, Finance Secretary Ratan Watal said the government is looking at implementing the direct benefit transfer scheme in kerosene and food.
He further said the government is looking at interest subvention scheme and may provide subsidies as capital support to sectors like textile, which are facing problems.
"Overall, expenditure on major subsidies as a percentage of GDP has come down from 2.5 per cent of GDP in 2012-13 to 1.6 per cent of GDP in 2015-16," a Finance Ministry statement said.

Dashed dreams of La Decima: Real Madrid's 11 years of hurt in Europe
We are part of The Trust Project What is it?
2004/05 (Round of 16 vs Juventus)
Score: Real Madrid 1-0 Juventus; Juventus 2-0 Real Madrid (Juventus win 2-1 on aggregate)
La Liga position: 2nd
Any other business? Real came second to Barcelona's first title win of the decade – which was, of course, followed by plenty more.
Real were getting through managers at breakneck speed by now. Queiroz was long gone by the time Juventus arrived for a rematch in February 2005 – but so too, incredibly, were Jose Antonio Camacho and Mariano Garcia Remon. Vanderlei Luxemburgo had not long since begun his own short-lived crack at things when the Beckham-Helguera combination came good again and gave Real a handy 1-0 first-leg lead – one that would have been added to if Raul, looking for his 50th Champions League goal, had been wearing his shooting boots.
Hearteningly, Luxemburgo was still in charge when the second leg came around two weeks later. Things were fine for 75 minutes at the Stadio Delle Alpi, Iker Casillas saving brilliantly from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ronaldo missing a couple of chances to close things out on the counter. Trezeguet's hooked finish – near-identical to the one that had opened the scoring two years previously – altered the complexion, with Ronaldo's extra-time dismissal putting Real firmly on the ropes. Two minutes after his dismissal, Marcelo Zalayeta lashed in a winner to which Real, with Michael Owen introduced from the bench, had no time for a response. It was enough to persuade Fabio Capello, now in charge at Juve, to let his hair down. "Beating Real caused me a special emotion," he purred. "I think it is the first time I have celebrated like that but now I've done it, I'd like to try it again."

'Be' is an experiment with music and stills I did last year with an assignment on Sufism and its devotional aspects.
I've tried to potray some of the states of being that a Sufi goes through using symbols and bring about a progression from matter to higher levels of truth and abstraction.Symbolism is at play here , with the use of colour, of popular tropes such as the moth and the flame, of mineral and plant matter, of architectural elements like the jaali(to stress the contrast of light and dark), and the arch to suggest progression or ascent, the niche and the simurgh which is a bird that suggests the attainment of a spiritual tryst.
Music is a Daf solo by Peyman Nassehpour.The video opens with a line from The Holy Quran.

"We are eyeing Rs 200 crore turnover in three years time as we expand our retail network and introduce more products. While we are known to be a winterwear firm, we are planning to launch a new summer collection made of organic materials," Ahujasons Shawl Wale (P) Ltd Retail Head Bhuvan Ahuja told PTI.
Ahujasons has three outlets in India and one in Japan. It will open two more stores in the country and consider opening stores in global locations like London and Dubai.
"We plan to open 3-4 new stores in 3 years...we have plans to go pan-India. We want to open two outlets in the next financial year in India and we will explore opening outlets in London, Hong Kong and Dubai," he said.
Ahuja said his company goes slow on expansion as it works on a 'company-owned, company-operated' model and most of its products are hand-made, which restricts their availability.
He further said the firm has acquired antique shawls from all over the world in the past decade and is now looking at monetising its antique collection.
"We have about 25 such antique shawls and we are still building our antique collection. We are in touch with some museums across the world to monetise these antique works. Some of the shawls are in the price range of Rs 90 lakh to Rs 1 crore," he added.
It gets about 50 per cent of its total turnover from exports at present and expects a change as it is expanding its retail network.
"In three years, we expect domestic business to contribute 70 per cent to our total turnover and 30 per cent sales will come from exports," he added.
Ahujasons sells its high-end luxury products under Prive brand priced between Rs 5,000 to Rs 15 lakh.
The company was founded in 1979 with the launch of its first store in Delhi.

Personal Loan is an unsecured loan disbursed to individuals based on various parameters like income, repayment capacity, employment history, past credit track record and credit score. Banks and NBFCs (Non-Banking Finance Company) both disburse these loans. The end use of funds taken through Personal Loan could be a variety of reasons based on the personal need of the individual - Medical Emergencies, Vacation planning, marriage, meet temporary cashflow mismatch etc.
A temporary cashflow mismatch is a very common problem especially in the early stages of the career when the savings are not enough to meet any sudden expenditure. Personal Loans are designed by the banks specifically to meet these temporary cash crunch phases. Personal Loans are quickly processed and disbursal times are amongst the shortest. Personal Loans are unsecured loans- meaning they are given with any security or collateral.
Each Lender has different criteria for lending Personal loans, though most of them broadly fall under the limits mentioned below:
|23 years to 58 years
|28 years to 65 years (25 years for doctors)
|Rs.17,000 (Rs.25,000 for metro cities)
|CIBIL Score
|Above 750
|Above 750
|Minimum Loan Amount

irql_not_less_or_equal BSOD in Windows 10 [BEST METHODS]
All Windows users at some point have had problems with a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) caused by incompatible drivers or hardware malfunctions, and Windows 10 users have not seen the end of it.
If you recall, we've previously talked about how you can fix the DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION error, but some Windows 10 users have reported that they have been encountering the irql_not_less_or_equal BSOD.
In this guide, we will try to shed some light on how to fix this issue. As we've gotten used to by now, there are many causes and just as many solutions for these kinds of Windows errors.
We've even seen a similar irql_not_less_or_equal error in the form of the ntoskrnl.exe, which was most likely caused by Realtek HiDefinition Audio drivers.
Here are some of the most common situations where this error occurs:
- irql_not_less_or_equal ntoskrnl.exe
As a quick reminder, this executable file is the kernel (core) of the operating system and usually indicates that the issue is pretty severe.
- irql_not_less_or_equal overclock
Many gamers confirmed that they often experienced this error after overclocking their computers. As a result, disabling overclocking may fix this error.
- irql_not_less_or_equal cpu overheating
If your CPU is overwhelmed, it overheats and that may actually cause this error. As stated above, do disable overclocking to reduce overheating.
Check if there are any particular apps and programs that are putting a strain on your PC and disable them as soon as possible. Using a dedicated cooling software and a cooling pad may also reduce the frequency of this issue.
- irql_not_less_or_equal after RAM upgrade
Some users reported that this BSOD error occured shortly after they upgraded their RAM. Make sure that the new RAM is compatible with your device and that it's properly installed.
- irql_not_less_or_equal after Windows update
In rare cases, this error may occur after installing the latest Windows updates. As a result, uninstall the updates and check if the issue persists.
- irql_not_less_or_equal and memory_management
Sometimes, these two BSOD errors go hand in hand. Users reported that when the first error occurs, the second one follows it after reboot.
We have a dedicated troubleshooting guide on how to fix MEMORY_MANAGEMENT errors on Windows 10. Do follow the instructions available in that guide as they may help you solve the problem.
If you have already ruled out that driver as the cause of the error, then this guide will explore some additional causes which might return this BSOD.
We'll start by looking at a few quick fixes which might fix the irql_not_less_or_equal error and then move on to more advanced options. But before that, let's look at some of the reasons why this error occurs.
Like most other Windows errors, incompatible or badly installed drivers can be the cause, but at the same time, faulty hardware (in this case RAM or peripherals) or even a Windows upgrade can be blamed.
When a device driver or kernel process would try to access a memory location which it isn't authorized to have access to, the operating system will issue an error, and the same is true if a piece of software is corrupted and tries to access wrong memory addresses.
This is the short version of what is happening when you see a irql_not_less_or_equal error. Now let's move on to fixing the problem.
How can I fix irql_not_less_or_equal BSOD error in Windows 10?
- Start your computer in Safe Mode
- Check your Memory and Hardware
- Refresh or Restore
- Repair your registry to fix corrupted files
- Check your disk for errors
- Run a full system scan
- Perform a clean Windows install
Like I mentioned before, there are lots of causes and therefore, different solutions for this problem. We'll try to cover all basis and troubleshoot each cause individually, so you can apply the fix which best suits your needs.
Before we begin, like with all Windows errors, verify that you have installed all updates and have up-to-date drivers installed for all your devices.
Did you know that the majority of Windows 10 users have outdated drivers? Be a step ahead using this guide.
Run a System Update which will apply all the new patches for your operating system and look for the latest drivers of your components and peripherals (visit the manufacturer's website to see which is the latest driver for each device).
If you're having trouble updating your Windows 10, check out this guide that will help you solve them in no time.
Additionally, you can check for updates on the third party software you are using and if you have the possibility, try updating your BIOS.
Updating BIOS seems scary? Make things way easier with the help of this handy guide.
Another step to take which might help you bypass most of the troubleshooting process is to search the "Event Viewer" for information regarding the error (to open Event Viewer, open the Search charm and type "Event Viewer" and select the utility).
In the window which opens, search the logs for the error you've encountered (each log has a timestamp, which will help you determine which device caused the issue) until you find the error.
In the details, you will see where the problem originated, and you find a recurring error caused by the same device, then that was the cause.
1. Start your computer in Safe Mode
Windows 10 offers users the possibility to start their computer in the so-called "Safe Boot" configuration, which is the old Safe Mode we used to have in the older versions of the operating system.
By using this method, and setting it to the "Minimal" configuration, you can start your Windows 10 computer with the bare minimum of features, drivers and processes.
This ensures that you are using a clean environment with no third party drivers and applications.
This method can have one of two outcomes: either the system will work as intended, therefore the problem must lie in one of the third party apps or drivers you have installed on your computer, or it will once again crash, telling you that the problem has a more deeper root, maybe within the hardware.
Once you have an answer to this question, you can move on and troubleshoot it by eliminating any other possibilities.
Here are the steps to follow to start your Windows 10 computer in Safe Mode:
- Hold down the shift key and click the on-screen power button
- Select the restart option while holding the shift key
- Select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings > hit Restart
- Wait until Windows 10 reboots, and select Safe Mode.
- Check if the problem persists.
Safe mode is not working on Windows 10? Don't panic, this guide will help you get past the booting problems.
2. Check your Memory and Hardware
If Step 1 has showed you that the problem is not related to the software you have installed on your computer, you can now try to debug your computer at the hardware level.
As we've mentioned at the beginning, the irql_not_less_or_equal error usually occurs when something tries to access a memory location which it doesn't have permission to.
The first thing you should do in this case is to test the RAM of your device. Windows offers a utility which can do this for you.
Here's how to use this utility:
- Open the Search charm > type in "Memory Diagnostic" > open the Windows Memory Diagnostic utility.
- In the new window which opens, select one of the two options available. The first one will restart Windows immediately and let the system scan the RAM.
- If it will return an error, then you have your answer. Replace the RAM of your computer and everything should be working properly.
- On the other hand, if the scan didn't return any errors, then the problem resides elsewhere.
Optional: If your motherboard's BIOS has the Memory Caching feature, then you should disable this feature. Keep in mind that operating in the BIOS environment can be dangerous, so do not attempt to modify other settings if you don't know what they do.
Accessing BIOS seems too big of a task? Let us make things easier for you with the help of this amazing guide!
Checking the hardware is somewhat of a tedious process. You will need to unplug all connected and non-essential devices from your computer (which basically means everything except your mouse and keyboard) and then disable their drivers.
After a reboot, check to see if all the drivers are still disabled and one by one, re-enable and reconnect the devices.
Do not plug in or enable more than one device at a time! Only one at a time and use the computer and the device after you have plugged it in.
If the error does not appear, then that driver is clear and you can move on to the next one. Do this until you have either added and enabled all the devices, or until the BSOD appears.
If the latter happens, this means that the last driver enabled is the problem. Enter Safe Boot and completely uninstall the driver and try downloading the latest one from the manufacturer and install it.
If it still won't work, then that driver has a compatibility problem with Windows 8.1 or Windows 10.
Optional: If the BSOD appears after a driver update, try rolling back the driver and see if the problem persists. Enter Device Manager and locate the driver in question, then right click it and select "Properties". Under the "Driver" tab, you will find the option to roll back the driver.
3. Refresh or Restore
Windows 10 offers users the possibility to refresh computers, which resets all the settings to their default values. This option will not affect any personal files you have on your computer, so you can run it without the fear of data loss.
However, if you're facing a critical error and Windows deletes all your files in the update process, don't panic just yet. We've written extensively about this and our guide will surely help you get all your files back.
A system restore is a viable options if the error manifested itself after you have installed multiple drivers and third party software. In order for this to work, you would need to have created a restore point prior to the install of the software.
This is a good habit to have, and creating restore points can prove a life saver. If you do have a restore point, you can revert back to that state, but all information added to the drive after the restore point was created, will be deleted.
Here's how to run system restore on Windows 10:
If System Restore is enabled, follow the instructions listed below for Windows 10:
- Go to Search > type system properties > open System Properties.
- Go to System Protection > click on System Restore.
- Click Next > choose the preferred restore point in the new window.
- Once you've select your preferred restore point, click Next > click Finish.
- Your PC will restart and the restoring process will start.
If System Restore isn't working, don't panic. Check this useful guide and set things right once again.
Windows 10 offers a series of advanced recovery option that allows users to clean install the OS. If you're a Windows 10 user, you can also use 'Reset this PC' recovery option.
- Go to Settings > Update & Security > click on Recovery under the left pane.
- Click on Get Started under Reset this PC > choose to Keep your files.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the reset.
If you're having trouble opening the Setting app, take a look at this article to solve the issue.

4. Repair your registry to fix corrupted files
As stated at the beginning of this guide, file corruption issues may also cause the irql_not_less_or_equal error. As a result, you can fix it by repairing your registry.
Note: Don't forget to first backup your registry in case anything goes wrong so that you restore a working version of Windows.
The quickest way to do that is by using the System File Checker command in Command Prompt:
- Go to Start > type cmd > right-click Command Prompt > select Run as Administrator
- Now type the sfc /scannow command
- Wait for the scanning process to complete and then restart your computer. All corrupted files will be replaced on reboot.
If you prefer to repair your registry automatically, you can use one of these registry cleaners. Also, if you're having trouble accessing Command Prompt as an admin, then you better take a closer look on this guide.
scannow command has stopped before the process finished? Don't worry, we've got an easy fix for you.
5. Check your disk for errors
Speaking of corrupted files and errors, your disk may also trigger the irql_not_less_or_equal error. If you already applied the first solution listed in this guide, and checked your RAM, try checking your disk as well.
On Windows 10, you can quickly run a disk check using Command Prompt.
Start Command Prompt as administrator and type the chkdsk C: /f command followed by Enter. Replace C with the letter of your hard drive partition.
As a quick reminder, if you do not use the /f parameter, chkdsk displays a message that the file needs to be fixed, but it does not fix any errors. The chkdsk D: /f command detects and repairs logical issues affecting your drive. To repair physical issues, run the /r parameter as well.
On Windows 7, 8.1 , go to hard drives > right-click the drive that you want to check > select Properties > Tool. Under the 'Error checking' section, click Check.
chkdsk is giving you headaches? Check out this quick guide to fix any issues with it.
6. Run a full system scan
Malware may cause various issues on your computer, including the irql_not_less_or_equal BSOD error. Perform a full system scan in order to detect any malware running on your computer.
You can use Windows' built-in antivirus, Windows Defender, or one of these third-party antivirus solutions.
Here's how to run a full system scan on Windows 10:
- Go to Start > type 'defender' > double click Windows Defender to launch the tool
- In the left hand panel, select the shield icon
- In the new window, click the Scan options link
- Check the full scan option to launch a full system malware scan.
Need more info on how to perform a full system scan from Windows Defender? Find out how it's done right here!
7. Perform a clean Windows install
If everything else fails, and the error still appears even after you have exhausted all alternatives, the only thing left to do is to perform a clean Windows install.
This means you will need a Windows installation disk or USB drive and you will delete everything on your C: drive and install a fresh version of Windows 10, but as mentioned, this should be left as a last resort.
If you want to know how to create a bootable USB drive with Windows 10 on it, check out this step-by-step guide.
The easiest and quickest way to do that is by using the Windows Refresh Tool. We've got a step-by-step guide on how to use the Windows Refresh Tool to clean install Windows.
Epic guide alert! Reinstall Windows 10 with a few quick steps. Everything you need to know is right here.
Follow the steps listed in that article and let us know if that solution fixed the problem.

RAID 10 Recovery Is Different From Other Levels
The levels of RAID are all different from one another. This is because of different methods and strategies used in the RAID levels. These levels are distinct in terms of the patterns of data storage and ease in controlling the situations of data loss. The lower levels of RAID disks are the simple levels. On the other hand, the higher levels of RAID are the complex levels that involve more difficult to manage categories of RAID.
Depending upon the levels of RAID disks, the recovery methods can change. RAID 10 recovery includes so many steps and procedures. People can choose the multiple levels of configuring RAID systems. The system is made with several disks and when problems occur in the functionality and working of the drives, it results in data loss problems. When the disks have failed, the whole system can be rebuilt once you tackle the placement of troubled disk. The replacement of corrupted and damaged disk is done so that the troubled disk can be rebuilt to get the lost data back in the array. The RAID 10 recovery methods include same easy and simple steps and procedures.
Taking Care Of RAID DrivesWhen it comes to RAID, various disks are supposed to have the performances of an individual disk. It can largely increase the speed, safety and the performance of a particular business area. However, this does not mean that data crushes may not occur, but it is important to be prepared, and know what steps to make. On the other hand, in order to avoid the RAID repair, one must know how to keep the RAID healthy.
RAID is well-known reliable storage configuration, but some backups must be done, so regular maintenance is a must. Therefore, just one software can be good enough when it comes to take care of RAID configuration. Knowing where is a problem can be very helpful, and if one learns some basics, he can easily use simple tools and do small recoveries. In case there is no tool that can work, it is better to let the professional do the RAID repair. Sometimes, using the software instead of hardware RAID is better solution, and thanks to it, many errors can be avoided. In order to have the RAID always work properly, one should invest some money in it, since it can also save the money that may be used for repairs.

Flags drape I-85 for fallen US Marshal
BELMONT, NC (FOX 46) - American flags were draped over interstate 85 Sunday, as a motorcade carrying the body of fallen U.S Marshal Patrick Carothers drove underneath.
Deputy Commander Patrick Carothers was a 26 year veteran with the U.S Marshal Service. He was gunned down Friday, while serving a warrant.
"It just makes you reflect on the danger of the job and that we are a family doesn't matter if it's blue light, red lights, EMS, whatever I mean we all stand behind each other and protect each other a hundred percent, said Blair Gribble an Inspector Engineer with the City of Belmont Fire Department.
Belmont firefighters raised the flag showing solidarity. Hundreds joined them, some standing alongside them while most honked, waived, and flashed their lights as a show of support.
Denise Titsworth's curiosity led her to the overpass. "I saw the American flag. I wanted to know what was going on so, I stopped and asked the officers here and when I found out the reason I wanted to be here. I wanted to support the family because I have law enforcement in my family as well." Her son was killed while serving in the military.
The American flag flew high above I-85 as a symbol that this is one nation undivided.
"It made me felt really proud. I even saluted it when I seen it because we live in America, this is God's given place," said Brenda Mooney.
Carothers' will be buried in Virginia. He leaves behind his wife and five children.

This will be the 2nd mini series at Bluewater featuring the iconic character.
Written by Scott Davis (William Shatner's TekWar, Ray Harryhausen's 20 Million Miles More & Dorian Gray) and drawn by Hoyt Silva.
The new series is described as, he is the legend that spawned thousands of imitators, but Quatermain is an action adventure original. It is 1883 and the face of Africa is in transition. Colonial powers are fighting over every inch of land and it is the Africans themselves caught in the vice of violence and exploitation. But Allan Quatermain is not interested in politics; he's a grieving father travelling back to England to bury his son. That is until the weight of a bizarre attack stops his train and makes off with his son's body. To get him back, Quatermain must wade through the underbelly of colonial African treachery and face the Dark Heart of the Mountain. This new chapter of the Quatermain saga is full of the excitement of its predecessors and offers a new supernatural twist that may be more than the legendary hunter can overcome.
"It's high stakes adventure, that couldn't be more fun to illustrate," artist Hoyt Silva.
"Writing in the world of Allan Quatermain is truly going to the source of modern action adventure. He may be a product of 19th century Europe, but this story of greed, power, grief and redemption is as relevant as turning on today's news", said Davis.
The 1st mini series is available in print at Comic Flea Market as well as digitally on all platforms.
Also be a part of Bluewater Allan Quatermain world is a new radio drama on Sires/XM called "Allan Quatermain, Lord of the Locusts". Produced by Colonial Radio Theatre, it is also available now on Audible and on Amazon. The new series will also be making it to the classic radio world in conjunction with the comic book release.
You can download these titles on Wowio, ComiXology, DriveThru Comics, Google Play, My Digital Comics, Overdrive, Iverse, PanelFly, iTunes, Kindle, Wowio, Nook, Kobo and wherever eBooks are sold.

The Centre for Women's inaugural Waves of Change Women's Leadership Luncheon celebrated the life of our founder, Tampa Bay's iconic and beloved Helen Gordon Davis today. It's first recipient of the award named in Helen's honor was another trailblazer, Gloria Steinem. Two women who made waves thus making changes in the lives of people around them.
Our honoree Gloria Steinem, received the first Helen Gordon Davis Women's Leadership Award. Quickly recognized internationally as leader and spokeswoman for the growing feminist movement in the late 1960s, in 1971 Gloria Steinem rallied a group of leading women writers and editors to do the unthinkable: create a magazine by women, entirely for women, giving American women a new voice and a powerful platform to address crucial and often controversial societal issues. The first issue of Ms. magazine sold out in eight days.
We were proud to have WFLA Newschannel 8 anchor Stacie Schaible as our emcee and moderator of our event. She opened the event while 400 women had their lunch and waited anxiously for the Gloria to take the stage.
Ann Madsen, Executive Director of The Centre for Women, followed with the story of how the Waves of Change Luncheon came about. The Centre for Women wanted to honor its founder with this annual award. And Ms. Madsen stated when she asked Helen who she wanted for this first award to go to she immediately said "Gloria Steinem!" And so the task of bring Ms. Steinem to Tampa began. When Ms. Madsen was given Gloria's private cellphone number, she hesitated in calling. But after not hearing from Steinem's office in New York, Madsen said "I knew what I had to do and picked up the phone and just called her." And Madsen said Gloria, without hesitation said " I'd be glad to come and honor Helen and her achievements and The Centre for Women." A venue was booked at the last moment. Thanks to the Crowne Plaza for accommodating us. And an event committee was established that consisted of some of Tampa's own movers and shakers and it was planned in just 45 days. As Madsen said, "So it came as no surprise to us that when tickets went on sale for this luncheon, it sold out in three and a half days – proof positive that when you say Gloria Steinem and Helen Gordon Davis in the same sentence, people take notice."
Stephanie Davis, daughter of Helen Gordon Davis, represented Helen at the luncheon. Stephanie, along with her sister, Karen Davis, and brother Grodon Davis were also in attendance at the luncheon honroing their mother. Stephanie Davis gave a heartfelt speech about her mom, her achievements and expressed how much her mom was honored to have everyone there to support her mom and her mom's legacy to Tampa Bay... The Centre for Women. She asked everyone to help continue her mom's work by contributing to The Centre for Women, where more than 65,000 had been helped since it opened its doors in 1977. Today, The Centre for Women continues to help women of the Tampa Bay region to succeed both perosnally and professionally.
Lisa Brock, Brock Communications and co-presenting sponsor of this event along with the Women's Tennis Association, had the distinct honor in introducing Ms. Steinem. Ms.Brock gave a riveting introduction. She stated in her intro, " After a few rejections from large organizations with way bigger budgets than mine, and hearing things like, 'She is a little too radical for our brand, and we'd like to support this but a few of our executives are uncomfortable with 'her' I did what I should have done from the get go - I called some bright, enlightened and curious women friend CEO's who immediately understood the importance of bringing Ms. Steinem here with NO explanation of why. She further said in her speech, "I wish we didn't live in a world where Gloria Steinem is seen as a radical, but it appears we do. So thank you all for being here today - to honor Helen Gordon Davis, who it is also fair to say, is a radical in her own right and another trailblazing woman on whose shoulders we all stand." Ms. Brock recalled a time of when she was 10 years-old and hearing of Gloria Steinem for the first time. "I heard my Grandmother say she was worried about ME - about my sister's influence as the next oldest and 'most impressionable.' The quote still rings in my ears…' She is gonna turn out like that Gloria Steinem…' As Ms Brock further said "Gloria Steinem became an unknowing mentor to me. While she seemed confident and bold enough - everything I read about what she said made total sense."
A Community Conversation commenced between Gloria Steinem and Stacie Schaible, with questions from Stacie, along with those women in the audience. Time flew by so quickly during this session. Ms Steinem gave so many quotable sayings today, " I encourage mothers not to let go of their sons, but to hold onto them" or "If every one of us is an imaginal cell, then we'd make one hell of a butterfly."
Gloria was presented with the Waves of Change Women's Leadership award by Board President of The Centre for Women, Katie Everlove-Stone. Gloria ended the luncheon with some extraordinary closing remarks. A private reception after the lucnheon for Presenting Sponsors, Committee Members, and Senior Centre for Women staff followed. We apologize it could not have lasted longer than it did, but Ms. Steinem had to whisked away to catch a flight.
The Centre wishes to thank Gloria Steinem for taking the time to come to Tampa for Helen Gordon Davis and The Centre for Women. Helen's family expressed their grattiude to everyeone who came to honor their mother. They said she was thrilled with the photos and stories that family and friends have shared with her.

Pluckblow, the new album with guitarist Craig Ogden was released by Meridian Records in 2006. Folk, jazz and contemporary styles influence much of this album which features new music from Ireland, Australia, UK and Germany.
Gerard McChrystal saxophone
This CD is in stock and can be ordered today.
We were blown away almost literally by Gerard who, along with Craig and the music of Ciaran Farrell, got things off to such a wonderful start.
Paul Herriot, RTe LyricFM, Blue of the Night Live
Craig Ogden and Gerard McChrystal set the thermometer high with their sinuous and heady interpretation of Andy Scott's Nemesis. Ogden's highly disciplined guitar lines traced a pinprick route through Scott's scarifying three movement set piece, while McChrystal burrowed and mined, and ultimately scaled its petulant peaks and troughs. McChrystal's saxophone swings acrobatically from high octane celebration to sweet and low down melancholy in one and the same breath, wheedling more and more layers of complexity
from Ogden's distilled guitar lines.

Selig stayed coy about his future, but decided to stay at the plate through 2014
The simple turning of the calendar is very much at the root of last week's two-year contract extension for MLB Commissioner Bud Selig, a deal that will keep him in office through 2014.
As recently as a month ago, owners who spoke with Selig had no strong sense that the commissioner was willing to deviate from his oft-discussed plans to retire and expand his teaching interests at the University of Wisconsin and Marquette University.
San Francisco Giants CEO Larry Baer, firmly at odds with Wolff on the A's bid to move to San Jose, tells a similar story regarding Selig.
"It was only, maybe, in the last month or so that this really began to get on the front burner," Baer said. "You saw the calendar turning over, and there was a decision to make. We certainly wanted him to stay, and as long as he had the appetite for it, that was certainly in the best interest of baseball. But if he didn't stay, there was going to have to be a process set up this year [to seek a successor]. It turned out, fortunately, to be a fairly seamless process, which is great."
Since the first step was to see if the 77-year-old Selig would remain in office before formalizing any structure to seek a successor, it is unknown whether the owners would have been able to come to any consensus on a new commissioner before the end of 2012. But given Selig's lengthy tenure in office — already the second-longest in league history — and his substantial legacy, finding the next commissioner will not be easy whenever that process commences.
|The 77-year-old Selig has the second-longest tenure in MLB history.
Owners last week also recognized the role of Selig's wife, Sue, in the contract renewal. She was long skeptical of Selig's steady retirement claims, even as they grew strident over the past year.
"You can't forget her role in all this," Wolff said. "And she knew, of course, what we all know: He looks better now than probably I've seen him. He's got amazing energy, is still in great health and has this passionate love of baseball."
There was a minor bit of drama last week in the contract-renewal vote, as outgoing San Diego Padres Chairman John Moores cast the lone dissenting vote against the new Selig deal. That move, however, according to league sources, owes to hard feelings stemming from last week's tabling of a vote to approve the transfer of the team to current Padres CEO Jeff Moorad. It does not represent the consensus opinion of team owners, many of whom owe their existence in the game to Selig.
"I've worked with him and I've worked for him, and the changes I've seen in the game in just the last two years have been tremendous — and I give Bud a lot of credit," said Paul Beeston, Toronto Blue Jays president and chief executive. "We're in great shape going forward."

New Delhi (Agenzia Fides) - Several incidents of violence, harmful to religious freedom, have troubled the Christian communities in India in the last few days. Police in Chennai, in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, are looking for the parents of a 23-year-old girl, who was seized by them because contrary to her conversion to Christianity and to her desire to becoming a nun. According to what was reported to Fides Agency by sources in the local church, Lakshmi Priya, a young woman who graduated in engineering, belonging to a Hindu family residing in Hyderabad (in the state of Andhra Pradesh), had converted to Christianity and was preparing herself to becoming a nun, following a path of formation for religious life in Chennai, even without the consent of her parents. Her parents therefore resorted to the use of force to dissuade her.
Another violent incident occurred in Jharkhand, on August 19. A seven-year-old boy, who attended a Catholic school St. Francis Xavier, run by the Jesuits and nuns, died suddenly of cardiac arrest. After the event, a crowd attacked the priests and nuns of a Jesuit mission in Jharkhand, asking for a compensation of one million rupees. The Sisters of the Congregation of Mary Immaculate (CIC), who have been working in the school since 2005, were attacked by vandals who destroyed their convent. One of the priests who intervened, Fr. Salomon, suffered a head injury and is hospitalized. According to a statement sent to Fides, the Jesuits suspect that the attack was instigated by a group of Hindu fanatics.
A few days before, in the state of Rajasthan, the mother of a Christian Pastor was severely beaten by Hindu extremists who had threatened to kill her and cut her to pieces if she did not convert to Hinduism. The incident happened in Jaipur, Rajasthan, on August 13. Four armed men broke into Pastor Vishaal Behl's home, making sure he was not in the house, they began to ravage the house. They then threatened his mother, in an attempt to get her to reveal where her son was, they started beating her, causing her severe injuries to the head and arms. (PA) (Agenzia Fides 22/08/2013)
