DoubleSign Astrology
The creator of this article,, is also mentioned in the article as the inventor of the "DoubleSign Compatibility Calculator" at doublesign.com. It seems that this is an article about a particular company or website rather than about a distinct branch of astrology (and the capital letters in "DoubleSign Astrology" indicate a proper name rather than a generic term). This company or website might not be sufficiently notable to warrant an article. Google gives confusing results: a number of hits, but possible use of multiple domain names by the same organization or syndicated content? Needs further investigation. -- Curps 06:37, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Note this Google Search for "DoubleSign Astrology". When I run the search for 100 hits per page, I get "Results 1 - 76 of about 4,910 for "DoubleSign Astrology", indicating a lot of mirrors (4910 pages, but only 76 distinct pages). Some pages indicate a registered trademark: "DoubleSign® Astrology".

Similarly, a Google search for "double sign astrology" gets only 31 distinct pages out of 551 pages. -- Curps 06:46, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete. Combining Chinese zodiac signs with Western ones?  Come on, astrologers should be more inventive than that in their endless quest to tax the gullible.  This isn't nearly as stylish as that Russian woman who tried to sue NASA for impacting a comet. . . Anville 12:06, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

DoubleSign Astrology is a branch of Astrology Hey guys... I'm Walter J. Kin, who happened to be founder of DoubleSign.com which uses DoubleSign Astrology as its main basis for matching people. DoubleSign.com, by the way, has more than 55,000 registered members. But I'd rather talk about DoubleSign (or New) Astrology. It's not my invention and is very popular among readers. Inventor of DoubleSign Astrology Suzanne White published her first book "The New Astrology" in 1985 and this book (along with 3 others that discuss DoubleSigns) sold in millions in 15 languages. You can check www.SuzanneWhite.com and Yahoo News about her.
 * DO NOT DELETE, PLEASE

 * I did removed my name from the article if it seems to be unacceptable for any reason.

I also mentioned 5 other astrology experts, bestselling authors that wrote books about combined DoubleSign tradition in DoubleSign Astrology. As you can see on Google search for "DoubleSign" produces 14,600 results, search for Suzanne White, returns 38,000 pages. When I search for The New Astrology" I get 16,200 pages. Another search for phrase "New Astrology" returns 35,800 pages. In case it still seems as not enough to recognize DoubleSign Astrology as a branch - here are more Google results for this expression "Combination of Chinese and Western Astrology" returning 152,000 pages.

White blended Chinese Astrology with Western Astrology thus inventing 144 "NEW" astrological signs. (12 animal signs combined with 12 sun signs makes 144 "new" character types). It's amazingly accurate. Suzanne White actually created 144 NEW character types."

 * Keep - although the term DoubleSign pretty new, the DoubleSign Astrology books exist for many years. They call it "The New Astrology" or something else - but it's the same combination of Chinese and Western horoscopes and really good advice to choose a husband.

 * delete This is an advertisement. The article contains next to no information, opaque allusions to celebrities and vague handwave towards related astrological systems.

 * Thank you for your support. Thank you for voices of support. Although I apparently had a bad start, constant work on the article which I intend to continue, hopefully will make it a useful and clean of advertisement piece that people can enjoy and benefit from. I took a liberty to paste back information about 144 celebrities and their DoubleSigns, which I think is very enetertaining - it took me long hours within many months to compile it - gathering information from respected sources and checking celebritys' signs against DoubleSign calculator. I totally agree with clean up that removes anything that is against Wikepedia policy, especially vanity and advertisement. I'm happy to continue to work on building Wikipedia knowledge base and appreciate your cooperation. --WalterJKin 14:56, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, WP:ISNOT a undiscriminate collection of information. The celebrity lists must go if the article wants to even have any chance at staying. Restrict that information to your website and keep the article about DoubleSign Astrology itself. I will not change my vote, but some people may if you do this. ♥ purplefeltangel ( talk ) ♥ ( contribs ) 00:32, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Comment : Please notice the writer simply refuses the cleanup done by User:GraemeL and pasted back the celebrity signs for its entertainment value. My vote remains at Delete. --BorgQueen 15:08, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Move GraemeL's version seems a reasonable and encyclopedic article, but I'm extremely leary about keeping the article under its current name due to the inherent advertising value of using one trademark for one version of the basic idea in the article name when the Wikipedia article (and its clones) show up in search engines. Suggest moving to Chinese and Western astrology (or a better neutral name) and leaving DoubleSign Astrology as a redirect to the general article. Caerwine 02:32, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

Mike Gallagher (political commentator)

Mike Gallagher (born April 7, 1960) is an American radio host and conservative political commentator. He is the host of The Mike Gallagher Show, a nationally syndicated radio program that airs throughout the United States on Salem Radio Network and is also a FOX News Channel Contributor and guest host. According to Talkers magazine, Gallagher is the ninth most-listened-to radio talk show host in the United States.

Radio
As a 17-year-old high school senior in Dayton, Ohio, Gallagher talked his way into an on-air shift at WAVI. From there he joined WFBC in Greenville, South Carolina, eventually becoming station manager. He then became an on-air host in Albany, New York, on WGY. Gallagher went on to New York City, where he spent two years as morning drive host on WABC.

In 1998, The Mike Gallagher Show was launched nationally with 12 radio stations. As of early 2011, Gallagher was the sixth most listened-to talk radio host in America with over four million weekly listeners. He is heard daily in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Detroit, Atlanta, and Philadelphia as well as in small, medium and major markets all over the country. According to the Benchmark Company, he is the 8th most-recognized talk radio personality in America. Gallagher has also been featured in numerous magazines and newspapers including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Time, and Forbes. Talkers Magazine has named Gallagher one of the 100 most influential talk hosts in America for eleven consecutive years.

Gallagher's show hosts many high-profile politicians as guests, including former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, former US President George W. Bush, Speaker of the House John Boehner, Republican presidential candidate John McCain during his 2008 electoral run, Vice President Dick Cheney while in office, and then-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.

Television
Gallagher co-hosted a morning news program with Dawn Meadows on Dayton's then-NBC affiliate WKEF in 1983. He is a Fox News Channel contributor and sometimes co-host, making frequent appearances on many Fox News Channel shows.

Writing
In the summer of 2005, he authored Surrounded by Idiots: Fighting Liberal Lunacy in America (2005, William Morrow; ISBN 0-06-073798-0), which became a New York Times bestseller (#27 on the extended bestseller list). The Times reviewed the book writing, "You might disagree with the man's politics, but dang, you gotta love a guy who slaughters a steer live on the radio just to annoy the ideologues at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, then gives the meat to the poor. Checkmate. Fans of Gallagher will love the book, and even those liberal loons might enjoy reading it just to play Spot the Inconsistencies." On his radio show, he announced he was writing a book called 50 Things Liberals Love to Hate which was released August 28, 2012. The book was reviewed by former Speaker Newt Gingrich, who said of the book that it, "is smart, funny, and uses satire and wit to take apart the left. If Jon Stewart had writers who were conservative, they'd write a book like this." On September 10, 2012 Gallagher gave a reading of his new book at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library.

Salem News Channel
Mike Gallagher also broadcasts on the Salem News Channel. His show began streaming on the Salem News Channel in November 2021.

Philanthropy and causes
On May 8, 2006, Gallagher used his show to raise money for the creation of homes in poverty-stricken areas of Jamaica in conjunction with Food for the Poor, during a live broadcast in the Jamaican national capital. Gallagher is also the namesake of his main charity, Gallagher's Army: The Mike Gallagher Show Charitable Foundation, which he founded in 2005 after he began asking his listeners and others to support American military families. In 2008 Gallagher expanded his efforts by founding the Gallagher's Army: Fallen Officer Fund, which gathers funds from his listeners and others to support the families of police officers who have fallen in the line of duty.

Gallagher has made his views on the protesting of American war dead upon their return from theatres of war, using his air time to try to prevent such protests from taking place. On October 6, 2006, Gallagher convinced the controversial Topeka, Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church to appear on air with an hour of air time in exchange for not picketing a funeral for victims from the West Nickel Mines School shooting near Nickel Mines, Pennsylvania. Initially, Gallagher offered the organization money not to picket the funeral. With this gesture being accused of being blood money, the syndicated radio host gave the church an hour to appear on air. The Amish funerals went on peacefully after the contract signed with WBC stipulated a $500,000 fine if there were picketers anywhere near the funerals.

Following plans by the Westboro Baptist Church to protest funerals of victims of the Virginia Tech massacre, Gallagher offered the group three hours of airtime in exchange for an agreement not to protest these funerals. The WBC was the in-studio guests of Gallagher's program for its entirety on April 24, 2007. He has made a similar agreement with Westboro concerning possible protests at the funerals of those killed in Tucson, Arizona, on January 8, 2011, despite the fact that emergency legislation passed on January 12, 2011, makes such protests illegal in Arizona.

Controversy
In December 2006 Gallagher made a controversial comment on Fox News, in response to a discussion of whether film actors and television personalities should be held to account for public statements they make against the government in a time of war, specifically Joy Behar's comparison of then Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to Adolf Hitler. Gallagher stated that, "I think we should round up all of these folks. Round up Joy Behar. Round up Matt Damon, who last night on MSNBC attacked George Bush and Dick Cheney. Round up [Keith] Olbermann. Take the whole bunch of them and put them in a detention camp until this war is over because they're a bunch of traitors."

Gallagher has come under fire of accusations of racism and Islamophobia after stating that airports ought to have a "Muslims Only" line in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, saying "It's time to have a Muslims check-point line in America's airports and have Muslims be scrutinized. You better believe it, it's time."

Personal life
Gallagher was born in Dayton, Ohio. He attended Chaminade-Julienne High School in downtown Dayton (graduating in 1978), where he was active in the school radio and TV station, theater (he had lead roles during all four years of school), the school band and chorus. Gallagher is of Irish descent. In 2008, his wife Denise died one day shy of her 52nd birthday, from endometrial cancer.

From September 6-11, 2011, Gallagher made a week-long cameo in the Broadway show Memphis, stating it was the culmination of a lifelong dream.

Talk:Bleem!

Untitled
This was my first edit, hope I haven't messed anything up too bad :D I removed this phrase: bleem! was an indie hit since it took on Sony, "the man", and many people bought the product just to spite Sony. There was no source provided and it looks more of an opinion then a fact.

WezGG (talk) 19:46, 26 July 2008 (UTC)WezGG 26/07/08

I commented out this paragraph because it seems to be very POV:

 * Bleem! made a better use of PC's 3D graphics Hardware compared to the other emulators, making Playstation games looks as twice as good. Bleem! can play it in a higher resolution and filter the textures. This was a great advantage of bleem! over other emulators, where ugly-but-stable software rendering was more preferable.

--Zippanova 06:38, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

There was no reason to edit that out completely: this was a marketing slogan put on the box itself (with some random, CG screenshot comparison of a giant Robot with a red beam).
 * That is why it should be commented out. Encyclopedias should not recite marketing slogans.  Obviously, those represent the manufacturer's POV.

can someone add what the hell bleem meant?
 * Even the developers didn't know. Once upon a time, they said they were going to run a contest of some sort to figure it out. Of course it never happened.

According to one of the linked sources, "Best Little Emulator Ever Made." Whitereflection (talk) 22:31, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

So many topics about this company can be made.
Their marketing for example, it was quite fascinating at the end. It always had some anti-Sony theme to it, just watch the BleemCast! Metal gear Solid trailer.

Or the PC Bleem! issues, like David's own rant about why it was stopped.

Or the initial e-mail they sent on the internet to numerous emulation news sites in '98.

So many topics, and that is just scratching the surface. EMU-LMAO (talk) 23:15, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Are there any resources for them? I'd be very interested in reading them. Whitereflection (talk) 22:27, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Well of course, my very own website has way to many of these items archived as part of the material. Not my fault that in the weird roundabout way that this world works with the irony, that I suddenly have content that people ignored as important during the very time period. This is also why I cannot add this content/summary to such a article with such a site as this, apparently I would be in to biased a position.

I`m not even going to give you my website address as a result either. More roundabout irony. --EMU-LMAO (talk) 00:18, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Errors.
1. According to the BleemCast E3 Press release in May 2000, they launched Bleem! in May 1999, not March of 1999. Do you believe an official company press release or some unknown source?

Selling over 250,000 units at that time.

2. Calling it by "the Bleem company" is a rather blanket term. The Bleem! company was initially called Bleem LLC., then becoming Bleem Inc. sometime in 2000. Early Bleem Demos and their archived website content shows this change in business strategy. --EMU-LMAO (talk) 00:12, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

The other website to/of "Bleem!".
--- What about Bleem!'s other/restored website, "Bleem Park" (like the show, South Park)? Can we put that up on the article? (http://bleempark.emuunlim.com) {--2001:558:6032:0:2953:8DFE:E48F:DE8F (talk) 00:38, 1 March 2015 (UTC)--}

Mark Milligan

Mark Daniel Milligan (born 4 August 1985) is an Australian former professional footballer. Starting his career as a defender, Milligan has spent much of his later career playing as a midfielder. He is currently a football expert commentary and analysis at 10 Sport. He is currently an assistant coach for A-League Men club Adelaide United.

Club career
Mark started his grassroots football career at his local club, Birrong Sports Football club in the Bankstown District in 1991 and 1992, and he quickly moved onto representative football as a junior footballer.

Early career
FourFourTwo magazine revealed on 28 July 2007 that after the Asian Cup Milligan had gone without Sydney FC's permission to trial for teams in Europe. Milligan was linked with French sides FC Metz and RC Lens. The following day Milligan reportedly walked out on Metz just before a scheduled trial game appearance against Standard Liège, allegedly out of frustration at the right-back position he would be trialled in. The following day it was reported that Milligan would return home to play for Sydney FC after all.

During the summer of 2008, he was linked with a move to English Premier League clubs Blackburn Rovers, Manchester City and Arsenal, RC Lens of Ligue 1, as well as with FC Porto in the Primeira Liga and Bundesliga side Werder Bremen.

On 21 October 2008, The Sydney Morning Herald reported that Milligan had signed a guest contract with Newcastle United Jets for seven weeks. He made his debut on 24 October 2008, against Central Coast Mariners at Bluetongue Stadium, Gosford, where his team lost 1–0. During this time he was also sent off in a match against the Wellington Phoenix.

Asia
Milligan joined Chinese Super League outfit Shanghai Shenhua in January 2009, signing a three-year contract.

On 19 May, Milligan scored his first goal for Shanghai Shenhua in their 1–1 draw in the AFC Champions League group stage match against Kashima Antlers.

Milligan finalised his switch from Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua to Japanese side JEF United Chiba, who were relegated to the second division.

When the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami struck Japan, Milligan decided to flee the country, fearing for the safety of not only himself, but his wife and child. With the J2 League suspended until further notice, JEF United Chiba gave permission for Milligan to train in a bid to keep his fitness up with his former A-League club Sydney FC.

Melbourne Victory
On 23 January 2012 it was reported that Melbourne Victory was to secure Milligan on loan until the end of the regular season. It was confirmed on 24 January that Milligan signed for a loan deal to Melbourne Victory until the end of the 2011–12 A-League season, becoming the first Sydney FC player to switch to Melbourne Victory. He returned to Japan in March. In July 2012, Milligan was released from JEF United Chiba and returned to Melbourne Victory by signing a three-year contract.

Milligan starred for Melbourne Victory during their 2012–13 season, moving from centre-back to play as a defensive midfielder, and quickly established himself as one of the best players in the league. Although he has never been a prolific goal scorer, Milligan scored 8 goals in this season, a number of them being clutch goals in important games, including a penalty equaliser in an elimination final against Perth Glory that Melbourne Victory went on to win in extra time. To cap off his season, Milligan won the Victory Medal, awarded to the club's player of the season.

On 17 September 2013, Milligan was rewarded for his performances by being appointed the captain of Melbourne Victory, replacing Adrian Leijer. He was also rumoured to be leaving Melbourne Victory to join fellow national team midfielder Mile Jedinak at newly promoted Premier League club Crystal Palace, however Melbourne Victory rejected a rumoured £2m offer for the defensive midfielder.

Milligan, after a trial at Crystal Palace, stayed on at Melbourne Victory as captain in the 2013–14 season. He sustained an injury halfway through the season, and the team suffered for this and other reasons such as losing their coach, an injury to Adrian Leijer (ex-captain and central defender) and four players (including three defenders) going to the Under 21 World championships (Jason Geria, Connor Pain, Scott Galloway and Nick Ansell). However, Victory improved after this period to finish fourth in the A-League. Milligan played every minute of all but one ACL match, only missing the final away match of the ACL Asian Champions League match through suspension.

On 17 May 2015, Milligan captained his side during their 3–0 defeat of Sydney FC in the 2014–15 A-League Grand Final, held at AAMI Park, Melbourne, and was awarded the Joe Marston Medal as the best player in the match.

Baniyas SC
At the end of the 2014–15 season it was announced that UAE Pro-League side Baniyas SC had triggered the release clause of Milligan's contract with a $1 million transfer fee, and he signed with them on a two-year contract.

Return to the Victory
On 31 July 2017, it was announced Miligan would return to the Victory on a one-year deal as a marquee player.

Al Ahli
On 28 January 2018, Melbourne Victory sold Mark Milligan to Al-Ahli for $1 million. He was assigned the number 5 shirt. On 4 February, he made his debut for Al-Ahli in a league game against Al Ittihad FC. He played at centre-half, with the game finishing 0-0. He got good response from the fans, playing the full 90 minutes in the Jeddah derby.

Hibernian
On 18 August 2018, Milligan signed a two-year contract with Scottish Premiership club Hibernian. Milligan played regularly for Hibernian during the 2018–19 season, after which he left the club. Hibernian head coach Paul Heckingbottom said that he had opted to exercise a break clause in Milligan's contract as he wanted to "recruit something different to play in that position".

Southend United
On 1 July 2019, Milligan signed for Southend United. Milligan was released by Southend United on 19 June 2020, after the team's relegation from League One.

Macarthur FC
On 30 July 2020, following his release from Southend, Milligan returned home to Australia to join newly formed A-League club Macarthur FC, signing a two-year deal. On 22 October, he was named the club's captain for their inaugural campaign in the A-League. In the club's first match, a local derby against Western Sydney Wanderers on 30 December, Milligan scored the club's first goal which secured a first-ever win.

On 2 June 2021, Milligan announced that he would be retiring from football at the end of the 2020–21 season and would join the coaching staff at Macarthur.

International career
Milligan represented Australia at the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship in the Netherlands. In May 2006, he was the youngest player selected in the Australian 2006 FIFA World Cup squad, being one of only two players chosen from the A-League – the other being Michael Beauchamp. Milligan had impressed coaches Graham Arnold and Johan Neeskens at a recent camp in Vietnam, while Guus Hiddink also recalled watching Milligan at the World Youth Championship.

He made his senior international debut against Liechtenstein on 7 June 2006, coming off the bench in the 85th minute of Australia's last warm-up game before the World Cup. He did not play in any of Australia's four World Cup games in Germany. His first start came against Kuwait in an Asian Cup qualifier on 16 August 2006. His next appearance was on 7 October 2006 in a friendly against Paraguay as a late substitute.

In February 2007, Milligan was named as captain of the Australian U-23 side, the 'Olyroos', for two Olympic qualifying games against Chinese Taipei. He sustained a broken nose in an 'off-the-ball' incident during the second qualifier. He led the Olyroos to Olympic qualification and was the key influential figure in their final games against Iraq and North Korea, scoring in each game and taking the man of the match award in both.

Milligan was selected in the Australian squad for the 2007 Asian Cup. During the tournament, Milligan was selected to play in the starting line-up for Australia against co-host nation Thailand in the final game of the group matches. Australia won 4–0 and advanced to the quarter finals of the competition with Milligan putting in what was widely regarded as a Man of the Match performance in the centre of a three-man defence. On 21 July 2007, in the quarter-final against Japan, Milligan was unfortunate in failing to clear a ball from the penalty area that saw striker Naohiro Takahara pounce and score an equaliser. The game ended 1–1 and Australia was eliminated from the Cup on penalties.

Milligan scored his first international goal for the Socceroos against Indonesia in a 2011 Asian Cup Qualifiers played at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane. This being the only goal in the match with Australia winning 1–0 and then qualifying for the 2011 competition.

He was named in the 31 man squad named by Pim Verbeek for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. His 2010 FIFA World Cup profile described him as "[a] mobile defender with good ball skills and an ability to play a raking pass."

Milligan was selected for the 30-man preliminary 2014 FIFA World Cup squad, alongside seven other A-League players. Three from Melbourne Victory (Milligan, James Troisi & Tom Rogic) were among the final selection. He played alongside James Troisi and captain Mile Jedinak in a three-man midfield in the Socceroos warm-up match vs Croatia. He played only one game in the 2014 World Cup, a 3–1 defeat against Chile in their opening match.

In 2015, he was a key member of Australia who won the 2015 AFC Asian Cup. He didn't play in the opening game. After this game, he played in all the next 5 matches, including the final against South Korea. In the second game, he scored the goal against Oman national football team. Australia won the match by 4-0. After the Asian Cup success, he played 7 games out of 8 in second round of 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualification. He scored his fourth and fifth international goals against Tajikistan.

Milligan captained Australia at the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup, and scored from the penalty spot in the 60th minute in a 1-1 draw against Cameroon.

In the third round of qualification, he played 8 games out of 10. Australia finished third in the table and failed to qualify directly to the World Cup. He played on the winning side in the two-leg tie Asian play-off against Syria. The match ended 3-2 on aggregate after extra time. He also played in the second leg game of 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification (CONCACAF–AFC play-off) against Honduras. This was the match which decided the last spot of 2018 FIFA World Cup. The match ended in favour of Australia by 3-1. With that, Australia qualified in the World Cup finals for the fourth time in a row. In May 2018 he was named in Australia's 23-man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. Milligan played in central defence during the tournament, alongside Trent Sainsbury.

QuteCom

QuteCom (previously called WengoPhone) was a free-software SIP-compliant VoIP client developed by the QuteCom (previously OpenWengo) community under the GPL-2.0-or-later license. It allows users to speak to other users of SIP-compliant VoIP software at no cost. It also allows users to call landlines and cell phones, send SMS and make video calls. None of these functions are tied to a particular provider, allowing users to choose among any SIP provider.

History
Development on WengoPhone began in September 2004. The first published version was released as version 0.949. A next-generation version of WengoPhone (WengoPhone NG) began development in 2005. The last release of WengoPhone before the change to QuteCom was version 2.1.2. A WengoPhone Firefox plug-in has also been published, which is currently available on Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows, with a Linux version under development.

On 28 January 2008, Wengo, the original sponsor of WengoPhone, transferred the sponsorship of the project to MBDSYS, and it became known as QuteCom.

On 15 May 2008, osAlliance presented kvats as a branded 2.2 version of WengoPhone/QuteCom with the preferred SIP provider A1, a brand of mobilkom Austria.

As of 29 July 2016 the domain qutecom.com is registered with a domain broker. Whois seems to indicate this happened on 30 March 2016.

Calls
PC-to-PC calls have Hi-Fi quality and use several codecs such as iLBC, G.711 (PCMA or PCMU), G.722, AMR (license needed), AMR-WB (license needed), G.729 (license needed). It is possible to start a conversation with other users of the same software or any other software that is SIP-compliant such as Gizmo. QuteCom also allows users to make video calls using FFmpeg. Supported video codec is H.263. Since version 2.1, QuteCom allows IM chats with MSN, YIM, AIM, ICQ and XMPP users. This has been achieved by using the libpurple library.

Concerning calls to landlines, the default server configuration is the one from Wengo, which was the primary sponsor of the OpenWengo project. After the release of version 2.1, QuteCom could be used with any SIP provider. This gives users an economic advantage, as they can choose the SIP provider according to how much the provider charges per minute and not according to the software they use.

User interface
The GUI is similar to those of other VoIP softphones such as Gizmo5 or Skype. From the main GUI, tabs allow access to the contact list, recent calls list, and user account information. Technically, it is written in Python and Qt/C++ programming languages.

Features
The features of QuteCom are:

 * SIP compliance
 * Provider agnostic
 * Allows users to send SMS to France
 * NAT traversal
 * Cross-platform
 * Audio smileys
 * Qt-based GUI
 * Chatting with MSN, AIM, ICQ, Yahoo and XMPP users
 * Encryption via SRTP, but key exchange over Everbee key that is not a Standard
 * Uses standard Session Initiation Protocol

Limitations
The main limitations of the QuteCom are:
 * Lack of true privacy features such as encryption. A beta AES-128 encryption using SRTP is available since 2.1 version of QuteCom
 * Does not support H.261 and sends wrong H.263 packets, preventing communication with other videophones
 * Does not support audio conferences with more than three people
 * Key Exchange for encryption is not a standard, so it works only between QuteCom clients

He was part of the Joeys squad for the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship in the Netherlands, and previously played for Bray Wanderers in the League of Ireland, Wollongong Wolves in the National Soccer League and Central Coast Mariners in the A-League.

Seeking a return to the top flight, he recently trialled at Newcastle Jets, and was named as a backup to first choice Ante Čović for the Jets A-League Pre-season Cup games. He has been training with Queen's Park Rangers in the Championship alongside veteran Australian goalkeeper, Mark Bosnich.

On 4 December, he signed a six-week short-term deal with the Newcastle Jets, replacing the injured Ben Kennedy.

In 2009 Pasfield joined fledgling A-League club, North Queensland Fury.

Thanks to FFA dragging its feet with the decision on what amount of the club's annual losses it was willing to fund, Pasfield decided to move onto the Central Coast Mariners at the end of the 2010/11 season, bringing to an end his time at the Fury, where he became one of the crowd favourites.

Four Tank-Men and a Dog (Polish: Czterej pancerni i pies, ) was a Polish black and white TV series based on the book by Janusz Przymanowski. Made between 1966 and 1970, the series is composed of 21 episodes of 55 minutes each, divided into three seasons. It is set in 1944 and 1945, during World War II, and follows the adventures of a tank crew and their T-34 tank in the 1st Polish Army. The book and TV series have achieved and retain a cult series status in Poland, the former Soviet Union and other Eastern Bloc countries.

The T-34-85 tank Rudy (Ginger) with the identifying number "102", a German Shepherd dog from Siberia Szarik (pronounced "Sharik" – little ball in Russian, a nickname in the vein of "furball"; in Polish, the word is similar to Szary meaning gray and szalik meaning scarf) and to a lesser extent the crew Jan Kos, Gustaw Jeleń, Grigorij Saakaszwili, Tomasz Czereśniak, and their commander and mentor Olgierd Jarosz, as well as other heroes of the series, have become icons in Polish popular culture.

History
The first episode of the series was aired on TVP on 25 September 1966. It was in TVP from 1966, 1969, and 1970, though it had multiple reruns on other channels.

The first series was based on Janusz Przymanowski's book Four Tank-Men and a Dog. After the first airing of the show, it rose in popularity quickly, leading to Przymanowski writing two other volumes of the book.

The next two volumes of the book were adapted into the second season (1969) and the third (1970).

The crew

 * Olgierd Jarosz, "Olgierd", a tank commander, played by Roman Wilhelmi.
 * Gustaw Jeleń, "Gustlik", a loader, played by Franciszek Pieczka.
 * Jan Kos, "Janek", a gunner/radio operator, later the second commander, played by Janusz Gajos.
 * Grigorij Saakaszwili, "Grześ", a driver. Native Georgian, played by Włodzimierz Press.
 * Tomasz Czereśniak, "Tomuś" / Tomek", a second gunner, played by Wiesław Gołas.
 * Szarik, "Kuleczka", the dog mentioned in the title of the series.
 * Franek Wichura, a truck driver, played by Witold Pyrkosz. His surname means "gale", which is a relation to his energetic character.

Secondary characters

 * Marusia "Ogoniok", a Russian nurse and Janek's love interest, played by Pola Raksa.
 * Lidia Wiśniewska, "Lidka", a radio operator, played by.
 * Honorata, a former maid, played by Barbara Krafftówna.
 * The colonel, Stary, played by Tadeusz Kalinowski.
 * Corporal Daniel Łażewski, played by Tomasz Zaliwski.
 * Obergefreiter Kugel, played by Stanisław Gronkowski.

At least two real tanks were used as "Rudy" in this series. One of them, used for tank interior scenes with cameras placed inside the hull, is now displayed in the Armoured Warfare Museum inside the Land Forces Training Center in Poznań. Although referred to as being armed with a 76 mm gun, the tanks seen in the show are the later model T-34/85.

Popularity
The popularity of the series came from it being one of the first postwar series to depict the era of World War II in a somewhat lighter vein. As the tragic events of the war receded, the Polish public became tired of the mandatory dark, tragic tone of previous television series and films dealing with wartime events. A similar change in attitudes occurred elsewhere in the world at the time. At the same time, the series was definitely not a comedy and contained many sad moments and intense battle scenes, while some of the main characters were wounded or killed. The series (especially in the first season) was very well prepared in terms of its technical side due to significant cooperation with the Polish People's Army and good military training of the actors (most of them being already trained as a two-year military duty was compulsory at the time).

All main heroes were in a way extraordinary. The youngest, Janek Kos, was a marksman, and owner of a well-trained and clever dog Szarik. The loader Gustlik, from Silesia, was very strong, while Grigorij (Russian name Grigoriy) was a skilled driver. Grigorij himself was a Georgian, representing numerous soldiers of the Soviet Red Army assigned to Polish tank units lacking specialists. The first commander Olgierd Jarosz was a meteorologist and could forecast the weather (in the book he was Russian Wasyl (Vasiliy) Semenov). Tomek, the last member of the crew (appearing later), was joyful and played the accordion.

The upbeat view of the war shown in the series was popular, but in many ways problematic. From the standpoint of military realism, the series is in fact almost grotesque, as its heroes have a very relaxed concept of military discipline, frequently fight their own "private" battles in defiance of orders, and effortlessly defeat German soldiers, who are depicted as faceless military incompetents. An emphasis is put on the friendship between front-line Polish and Soviet soldiers, but little or no mention of the problems in general Polish-Soviet relations of that era (though they were often suggested in the background).

The series retained its huge popularity and was rerun yearly in Poland until 1989. After 1989 the series is still being sporadically shown in Poland. It was also shown in other countries of the Soviet bloc.

In 2006 the series was released on DVD as a boxed set by TVP.

In 2015, gaming company Wargaming introduced 4 premium vehicles to the game World of Tanks in an event marking VE day, one of the limited vehicles being Rudy, with a crew based on characters from the series including Szarik.

He went 2 for 3 as a pinch hitter for the Padres in the 1998 World Series against the New York Yankees, making the last out of the Series by grounding out to third base.

After the season, he was traded by the Padres, along with Greg Vaughn, to the Cincinnati Reds for Josh Harris, Reggie Sanders, and Damian Jackson.

Sweeney spent one season with the Reds organization, much of which was spent with the Triple-A Indianapolis Indians. The Reds traded him on January 14,, to the Milwaukee Brewers, along with Gene Altman, for Alex Ochoa. He spent the next two seasons with the Brewers shuttling between the Majors and Triple-A while battling through an assortment of injuries and trips to the disabled list.

In, he was traded by the Brewers with Lou Collier, Jeromy Burnitz, Jeff D'Amico, and cash to the New York Mets for Glendon Rusch, Lenny Harris, and Alex Ochoa. He failed to make the Mets roster and was released. The San Diego Padres signed him as a free agent a few days later. Had a poor season with the Padres, hitting just .169 in 48 games.

United Nations Security Council Resolution 661

In United Nations Security Council resolution 661, adopted on 6 August 1990, reaffirming Resolution 660 (1990) and noting Iraq's refusal to comply with it and Kuwait's right of self-defence, the Council took steps to implement international sanctions on Iraq under Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter. This was the second resolution by the Security Council over the invasion of Kuwait.

The Council therefore decided that states should prevent:

 * (a) the import of all products and commodities originating in Iraq or Kuwait;
 * (b) any activities by their nationals or in their territories that would promote the export of products originating in Iraq or Kuwait, as well as the transfer of funds to either country for the purposes of such activities;
 * (c) the sale of weapons or other military equipment to Iraq and Kuwait, excluding humanitarian aid;
 * (d) the availability of funds or other financial or economic resources to either country, or to any commercial, industrial or public utility operating within them, except for medical or humanitarian purposes.

Resolution 661 called on all member states, including non-members of the United Nations, to act strictly in accordance with the resolution, and decided to establish a Committee of the Security Council consisting of all members of the council, to examine reports by the Secretary-General Javier Pérez de Cuéllar on the situation and seek information from states on the action they are taking to implement Resolution 661, requesting they all co-operate with the committee.

Finally, the Council stressed that the sanctions regime imposed should not affect assistance given to the legitimate Government of Kuwait. The resolution was adopted by 13 votes to none, while Cuba and Yemen abstained from voting.

After the end of the Gulf War and the Iraqi withdrawal from Kuwait, the sanctions were linked to removal of weapons of mass destruction by Resolution 687 (1991). The effects of government policy and the sanctions regime led to hyperinflation, widespread poverty and malnutrition.

The 661 Committee
The committee established under the resolution became commonly known as the 661 Committee, or alternatively as the Iraq Sanctions Committee. Although the initial mandate of the 661 Committee was quite modest, it took on broad responsibilities in the implementation of the sanctions. Joy Gordon, a scholar on the Iraq sanctions wrote:

 * The 661 Committee determined what goods Iraq could import as humanitarian exemptions, responded to allegations of smuggling, determined what goods the UN agencies engaged in humanitarian work could bring into Iraq, addressed issues involving the no-fly zones, and took upon itself the task of interpreting Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq.

Before the Oil-for-Food Programme commenced in 1996, exemptions from the sanctions regime granted by the 661 Committee was the sole legal means for Iraq to import any goods.

Henry Sproatt

Henry Sproatt (June 14, 1866 – October 4, 1934) was a Canadian architect who was prominent during the early 20th century. Born in Toronto, he trained in Europe and in New York City.

He formed a partnership in 1890 with another celebrated architect, John A. Pearson, and with Frank Darling in 1893. Sproatt parted ways in 1896 and formed a new firm in 1899 with Ernest Ross Rolph (1871–1958), named Sproatt & Rolph.

Sproatt was a Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects, and he died in Toronto in 1934. The firm continued under Ernest Rolph until 1942 and was then taken over by his son, Charles Beverley Sproatt (1896–1976), from 1958 until 1970.

In recognition of his architectural achievements the University of Toronto conferred the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws to Sproatt in 1920.

Frank Darling (architect)

Frank Darling (February 17, 1850 – May 19, 1923) was an important Canadian architect, winner of the RIBA Gold medal in 1915, who designed many of Toronto's landmark institutional and financial buildings, as well as scores of bank branches throughout the country. Darling is best described as an 'Edwardian imperialist' in his outlook and architectural approach, and accordingly left a legacy of fine Edwardian Baroque buildings in Canada's major cities, representative of the period's prosperity and optimism.

Early life and education
Born in Scarborough Township in the Province of Canada, Darling was the son of the rector of Scarborough and later of the Church of the Holy Trinity in Toronto. As a boy, he received his general education at Upper Canada College before entering Trinity College School, in Weston. He worked briefly as a bank teller before becoming apprenticed to architect Henry Langley from 1866–1870. He studied and trained in England under George Edmund Street between 1870–1873 and then returned to Canada.

Career
Apart from two brief solo periods in the 1870s, he practised with a series of collaborators: In 1897 Darling formed his most long-lasting architectural partnership with John A.Pearson, named Darling and Pearson. This firm lasted beyond Darling's death in 1923. The firms in which he was a partnership influenced commercial development in Toronto during the 1910s to 1920s.
 * Henry MacDougall, 1873–74;
 * Samuel George Curry (1855–1942 ), principal in Darling & Curry – 1880–90, in Darling, Curry & Co. - 1891, and in Darling, Curry, Sproatt & Pearson -1892;
 * Henry Sproatt (1866–1934), principal in Darling, Curry & Co. -1891, in Darling, Curry Sproatt & Pearson – 1892, in Darling, Sproatt & Pearson 1892–95, and later draughtsman for Darling & Pearson – 1896,-97;  and finally
 * John A. Pearson (1867–1940), principal  in Darling, Curry & Co. - 1891, in Darling, Curry, Sproatt & Pearson- 1892 ; in  Darling, Sproatt  & Pearson- 1892–95, and in Darling & Pearson – 1895–1937, after Darling' s death in 1923.

Darling was the first Honorary President of the Toronto Beaux-Arts Club, member of the Holt Commission for planning of Ottawa (1913–1915), and was the first Canadian to win the Royal Institute of British Architects Gold Medal in 1915.

Darling died in 1923 and was buried at St. John's Cemetery Norway in Toronto.

David Malangi

David Malangi (1927 – 19 June 1999), also known as David Malangi Daymirringu, nicknamed Dollar Dave, was an Indigenous Australian Yolngu artist from the Northern Territory. He was one of the most well-known bark painters from Arnhem Land and a significant figure in contemporary Indigenous Australian art. He became known for his work being printed without his permission on the Australian one-dollar note, which led to a copyright dispute.

Biography
David Malangi was born in 1927 at Mulanga, on the east bank of the Glyde River in Central Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, where he received initiation into Manyarrngu culture during his early years spent in the area. He moved with his parents at a young age to Milingimbi Island, where there was a recently established Methodist mission. He eventually settled at Yathalamarra waterhole, to which his wives and mother had connections, as Balmbi women.

He died on 19 June 1999 at Yathalamarra, also in Central Arnhem Land.

Career
Malangi started taking painting seriously in the late 1950s and early 1960s, after World War II. He was a bark painter that produced images on clear, red ochre, or black backgrounds, using much broader and bolder brushstrokes than other Arnhem Land bark painters. He also often worked in wooden sculpture and painted his figures in a very similar style to his bark paintings. His works both paintings and carvings include depictions of the sea eagle, crow, snake, and goanna. Wanggarr, the original creative spirits that were responsible for forming the land and making people, were also commonly seen in his paintings. More specifically, Malangi would paint images of the Djang'kawu sisters, who were accredited with creating the Dhuwa clans, and Gurrmirringu, a male spirit whose death and funeral ritual were popular subjects in his art.

Throughout Malangi's career, many of the subjects of his paintings were key elements of the land for which he was responsible. From his father he inherited the Dhuwa lands Mulana, Nurrunyuwa, Dhämala, and Dhäbila, and from his mother he inherited the Yirritja lands around Yathalamarra billabong. His art would go through episodic periods focusing on one area at a time.

Malangi was the designated senior artist of the Manyarrngu and Djinang people and a painter at Bula'Bula Arts in Ramingining.

He was a meticulous artist who collected all the materials for his paintings himself including bark for painting, timber for carving, and several different colors of ochres and clay pigments. He also kept different grindstones dedicated to each pigment to ensure the unadulterated color of the land. When creating art to capture his mother's clan, the Balmbi clan, he used three different ochres from around Yathalamarra to represent the land and his knowledge as a matrilineal descendant of the Balmbi clan.

Australian one-dollar note
The reproduction of one of his designs, depicting the mortuary feast of the ancestral hunter Gurrmirringu, appeared on the reverse of the Australian one-dollar note in 1966. This was done originally without his knowledge. The Governor of the Reserve Bank explained that it was assumed by the Australian government that the art belonged to an "anonymous and probably long dead" artist. It was acknowledged in 1967 with the release of the banknote, and he was later financially compensated after intervention by the Governor of the Reserve Bank, H. C. Coombs, as well as receiving a specially struck medal.

The payment by the Reserve Bank to Malangi began issues of Aboriginal copyright in Australia.

Exhibitions
Malangi represented Australia at the São Paulo Art Biennial in 1983. He was one of the first Aboriginal artists whose work was featured in the Biennale of Sydney in 1979. In 1983 his work was exhibited at the Australian Perspecta at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney.

In 1988, for the Bicentenary of Australia, he contributed ten of 200 hollow log coffins for the Aboriginal Memorial at the National Gallery of Australia. There, he performed a regional ceremonial dance that was acceptable for the public alongside Paddy Dhatangu, Paddy Fordham Wainburranga, and Dhurrukuyu. He travelled to New York City in 1988 as part of the Dreamings exhibition of Aboriginal art.

In July 2004 an exhibition opened of David Malangi's work at the National Gallery of Australia called No Ordinary Place.

Thomas Common

Thomas Common (1850–1919) was a translator and critic, who translated several books by Friedrich Nietzsche into English. There is little information about him biographically, though indications are that he was a well-educated and literate scholar. He lived in the area of Corstorphine, Scotland which is now a suburb of Edinburgh.

In the mid-1890s, he joined a project led by Alexander Tille to produce a complete English edition of Nietzsche's work. Common translated several of them, including a version of Thus Spoke Zarathustra published in 1909.

In 1901 he published a book called Nietzsche as Critic, Philosopher, Poet and Prophet that was extremely enthusiastic about its subject, and was recommended to the publisher by George Bernard Shaw. The book did not circulate widely as the publisher, Grant Richards, went bankrupt soon after publication, but it was read by W. B. Yeats, who was strongly influenced by Nietzschean ideas, as can be seen in his poetry. From 1903 to 1916 Common produced a quarterly journal called Notes for Good Europeans (later titled The Good European Point of View), with the purpose of increasing public interest in Nietzsche.
