Foreword

That is also why our Priests for Life pastoral team wrote this Study Guide. We have also established a special website, www.HumanaeVitae40.com, to promote the teachings of this document. It is our daily prayer that this effort will lead many believers to understand, embrace, and proclaim the beautiful truth of human life. 

INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY GUIDE

For those considering the possibility of facilitating a study group, this study guide lends itself to a discussion study group method of learning. While a leader/facilitator encourages the group and keeps it “on track”, it is the individual sharing and group dynamic that contribute most to the learning process. The facilitator is not a lecturer, neither is he there to supply all the answers. The facilitator seeks to shepherd the group learning process and does everything possible to solicit their contributions. Members interact and learn from everyone, including the facilitator. A Facilitator’s Guide is available through Priests for Life at www.HumanaeVitae40.com. The Facilitator’s Guide seeks to assist you in leading a group and lays out suggested study sessions.

It is our hope, that on the fortieth anniversary of Humanae Vitae, this study guide will assist in promoting the Church’s clear and authoritative word on transmitting human life. May all who hear this true, prophetic and lovely word be assured that: the Church has always issued appropriate documents on the nature of marriage, the correct use of conjugal rights, and the duties of spouses. These documents have been more copious in latest times. (n.4)

Some users have reported a weird issue with their systems where their Windows 11/10 computer gets stuck on Airplane mode. They are unable to deactivate the mode. This, in turn, means that they are unable to use the internet. The potential causes of the issue are faulty network drivers, bug with the Airplane mode, physical switch turned ON, etc. If you encounter this problem, your first approach should be to restart the computer.

If you find that your Windows 11/10 is stuck in Airplane mode and you cannot turn off Flight mode on your laptop then try this simple solution. Press Fn+ the key with Radio Tower. On some laptops, it is the PrtScr key. Once you do this, you will see Airplane mode is disabled message on your device. If this does not help. Unplug your cables. Power down the computer. Wait for a while. Start your computer and see. Read on for some more detailed troubleshooting.

If you are facing the issue where your Windows 11/10 is stuck on Airplane mode, try these suggestions to fix the issue:

1. Check the status of Radio Management Service
2. Flush DNS cache, etc.
3. Update the Network drivers
4. Turn OFF Airplane mode through system settings
5. Turn OFF the physical switch for Airplane mode
6. Edit the Registry.

Let us see these fixes in details.

1] Check the status of Radio Management Service

This seemingly strange process seems to have helped many in resolving this issue. So you may try it and see if it helps you.

Press Win+R to open the Run window and type the command services.msc. Hit Enter to open the Services Manager window.

Right-click on the Radio Management Service and select Properties.

Change the Startup type to Disabled and click on Apply. Windows won’t let you disable the setting.

Restart the computer.

2] Flush DNS cache, etc.

Now Run CMD as administrator and execute the following commands:

ipconfig/release 

ipconfig/renew

ipconfig/flushdns

This will flush the DNS cache.

Did this help you?

3] Update the Network drivers

In case the issue has been caused by outdated drivers, you could consider updating them as follows:

Press Win+R to open the Run window and type the command devmgmt.msc. Hit Enter to open the Device Manager.

Expand the list of Network adapters. Right-click on the network adapter and select Update Driver.

You could also consider installing the drivers from the manufacturer’s websites.

4] Turn OFF Airplane mode through System Settings

If you are unable to turn OFF the Airplane mode through the Taskbar, try doing it through the system settings.

• Search for airplane mode in the Windows search bar.
• Click on the option to open the Airplane mode settings.
• Turn the switch for the Airplane mode to OFF.

5] Turn OFF the physical switch for Airplane mode

Some computers come with a physical switch to turn the Airplane mode ON or OFF. If this switch is ON, you wouldn’t be able to switch OFF the Airplane mode from the operating system, no matter what you try. Thus, you would need to switch OFF this physical switch before anything else.

6] Edit the Registry

Open the Registry Editor and navigate to this path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class

Modify the value of RadioEnable to 1.

See if this helps.

In general, the bigger the window is, the more it will cost. The type of window chosen will also have an impact on the cost, and certain types are categorically more expensive than others.

Picture

Picture windows tend to be more expensive, as they come in a variety of shapes and sizes and lend themselves well to large sizes and customization. Picture windows can range in price from around $65 to upwards of $1,200, but for a relatively standard replacement picture window, you can expect to spend $300 to $800 including labor.

Single-Hung

Single-hung windows have a fixed top sash and an operable bottom sash that slides vertically up and down for ventilation. Single-hung windows can range in price from around $150 to over $800, but you can expect to pay about $200 to $600 on average per unit, including labor.

Double-Hung

Double-hung windows, which have both an operable upper sash and bottom sash, are great for maximizing air circulation in your home. The price for double-hung windows is similar to single-hung windows, ranging from $150 to over $800. The average cost is slightly higher than single-hung windows at $300 to $650 per unit including labor. Double-hung windows are the most common residential window type.

Casement

Casement windows, which open with a hand-crank, typically open outward with hinges on the left or right side. They cost an average of $300 to $600 per unit, labor included, but can range from $150 to $1,200-plus depending on the window. Larger windows in difficult-to-access areas will likely cost more.

Sliding

Sliding windows, commonly referred to as gliders, are composed of two sashes, one fixed and one that slides horizontally. These windows are often found on ground levels, as they are easier to clean, and can cost anywhere from $150 to over $2,000 depending on the size and manufacturer. Though there are both cheaper and more expensive options available, the average cost of sliding windows ranges from $300 to $800.

Skylight

Skylights are located on the roof or ceiling of a home rather than on the sides, and can be either operable or inoperable. They can be very pricey to install due to access difficulties, and costs range from $900 to $2,500 per window depending on size, location and operability. The average cost of replacing a skylight is $1,000 to $2,000.

Storm

Storm windows contain an extra pane of glass or include a coating to insulate and shield windows from physical damage. These windows can be either permanent or removable, depending on the preferences of the homeowner. Prices range between $90 and $450 per window, the average cost for a storm window ranges from $150 to $300 and the average cost to install storm windows on all windows of an average-sized home is approximately $5,000.

Bay

Bay windows protrude outward from an exterior wall, forming an alcove-like area on the inside of the window protrusion. Bay windows can be quite expensive to replace, as they are usually larger and made of more panels than typical windows. The structural difficulties of bay windows also play into the high price range of $500 to $7,000-plus. The average cost of replacing bay windows ranges from $1,700 to $3,500.

Egress

Egress windows are windows that also function as an emergency exit and are commonly found in furnished basements and attics. Those located in partially below-ground basements include an area called a window well at the exterior, which allows enough room to climb out of the window. These windows come in a variety of styles and, therefore, have a wide price range from about $100 to $1,000-plus, not including window well installation. The average cost of egress windows is $200 to $500 per window.

Hopper

Hopper windows operate in much the same way as awning windows, except they hinge open towards the interior of the house rather than outwards towards the exterior. The price range for hopper windows is about $150 to $650-plus.

Jalousie

Also known as louvered windows, jalousie windows operate in a similar manner to blinds, where the glass or metal slats of the window can be opened or closed to provide a cross breeze within the home. Jalousie windows are popular in tropical regions, and cost between $170 and $380.

There are many other window types to choose from, but these provide a view of the typical options and will hopefully help you better understand the upfront costs.

While the most popular way to keep your privacy online intact is through the use of a VPN provider, it's not always as straight forward as you think, by just installing it and hoping for the best. For that reason we have created a guide to ensure that your VPN isn't leaking DNS queries.

A Google search for smart multi-homed name resolution in Windows returns a lot of results to disable the feature, but what is it? From Windows 8 on, Microsoft introduced a feature that speeds up DNS queries by using all of the network adapters available on the system, to pass back the first (quickest) result. This means that even if you are using a VPN to surf online, but have more than one network adapter in your system, the DNS query could be passed outside of your VPN connection.

Below, we will disable it on Windows 8 and Windows 10, but as pointed out above, this really only applies to systems that have more than one network adapter that is connected to the internet, such as multiple wired connections or a wired and WiFi connection.

Windows 8.x systems

The following registry edit only applies to Windows 8 systems and does not work on Windows 10.

If you are uncomfortable with editing the registry, you can skip past this section and use the Group Policy method instead, which does the same thing.

Note: Manipulating the Registry may lead to issues if done incorrectly. It is suggested that you create a backup of the Windows Registry before you continue. This can be done by selecting a Registry Hive in the Registry Editor, and then File > Export from the menu bar.

1. Open the Windows Registry Editor. One easy option to do that is to tap on the Windows-key, type regedit.exe, and hit the Enter-key. Windows throws an UAC prompt which you need to confirm.
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\DNSClient
3. If the Dword value DisableSmartNameResolution exists already, make sure it is set to 1.
4. If it does not exist, right-click on DNSClient, and select New > Dword (32-bit) Value from the menu.
5. Name it DisableSmartNameResolution.
6. Set its value to 1. You may turn the feature back on at any time by setting the value to 0, or by deleting the Dword value.
7. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Dnscache\Parameters
8. If the Dword value DisableParallelAandAAAA exists already, make sure its value is set to 1.
9. If the value does not exist, right-click on Parameters, and select New > Dword (32-bit) Value.
10. Name it DisableParallelAandAAAA.
11. Set the value of the Dword to 1. You can turn the feature back on by setting the value to 0, or by deleting the value.

Now you can close the registry editor, and reboot Windows for the changes to take effect.

Windows 8 & 10 systems (Group Policy method)

The following applies to all Windows 10 editions, but is also possible in Windows 8 instead of editing the registry.

Before we begin, the following Group Policy edit is only available in Windows 10 Pro editions. If you are running Windows 10 Home, you can use Policy Plus to edit the following Group Policy required to turn off smart multi-homed name resolution.

1. Do the following to open the Group Policy Editor in Windows: Tap on the Windows-key on the keyboard, type gpedit.msc, and hit the Enter-key on the keyboard.
2. Go to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Network > DNS Client > Turn off smart multi-homed name resolution.
3. Set the policy to enabled, to disable the smart multi-homed name resolution feature of the system.

Be sure to reboot your system for the changes to take effect.

This isn't by any means a surefire way to protect your privacy online, many other factors come into play as well. If you have a favorite tweak that you use to stay safe online, share it below in the comments; together, let's make browsing great safe again!
