Q: C# Populate TreeView with FTP Server Directories I have searched the web, and is new to this still. Please have some patience with me.
What I want to do is this:
- I have a TreeView called "treeTO".
- I connect to my FTP Server and I want to populate everything here (the directories, sub directories, and the files, whatever it may be) in the treeview.
- This is my code I have so far:
FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("ftp://" + ActiveServer.Server + "/");
request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectoryDetails;
request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(ActiveServer.UserName, ActiveServer.Password);
FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
Stream responseStream = response.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(responseStream);

-This returns me the following text: Logs, Data, and WwwRoot.
I struggle to add this to the treeview and then loop through the folders to add everything to the treeview.

A: So here´s my working Solution for you!
Of course you have to replace the Value of "root" with the rootURL of your FTP-Server and in the Method GetWebRequest() replace "username" and "password" with your Credentials!
You need this Class to Hold Details
public class FTPListDetail
{
        public bool IsDirectory
        {
            get
            {
                return !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(Dir) && Dir.ToLower().Equals("d");
            }
        }
        internal string Dir { get; set; }
        public string Permission { get; set; }
        public string Filecode { get; set; }
        public string Owner { get; set; }
        public string Group { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public string FullPath { get; set; }
}

and here is the Code-Behind for your WinForm-App
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    var root = "ftp://ftp.yourFTPServer.at";

    treeView1.Nodes.Clear();
    treeView1.Nodes.Add(CreateDirectoryNode(root, "root"));
}

private TreeNode CreateDirectoryNode(string path, string name)
{
    var directoryNode = new TreeNode(name);
    var directoryListing = GetDirectoryListing(path);

    var directories = directoryListing.Where(d => d.IsDirectory);
    var files = directoryListing.Where(d => !d.IsDirectory);

    foreach (var dir in directories)
    {
        directoryNode.Nodes.Add(CreateDirectoryNode(dir.FullPath, dir.Name));
    }
    foreach (var file in files)
    {
            directoryNode.Nodes.Add(new TreeNode(file.Name));
    }
    return directoryNode;
}

public IEnumerable<FTPListDetail> GetDirectoryListing(string rootUri)
{
    var CurrentRemoteDirectory = rootUri;
    var result = new StringBuilder();
    var request = GetWebRequest(WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectoryDetails, CurrentRemoteDirectory);
    using (var response = request.GetResponse())
    {
        using (var reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
        {
            string line = reader.ReadLine();
            while (line != null)
            {
                result.Append(line);
                result.Append("\n");
                line = reader.ReadLine();
            }
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(result.ToString()))
            {
                return new List<FTPListDetail>();
            }
            result.Remove(result.ToString().LastIndexOf("\n"), 1);
            var results = result.ToString().Split('\n');
            string regex =
                @"^" +               //# Start of line

A: There is a reason why no FTP client on the planet preemptively populates a treeview on an FTP server or displays file icons in the treeview. Either one of these will take FOREVER.
What you'll need to do is rethink how you are doing this. When you first connect you are going to want to just populate the tree up until the initial dir and then the initial directory. You do NOT want to put files in your tree view because that will also eat up too much memory in many real world situations. Just add folders (and use the same ICON for >99% of those).
This is what it should look like when you first log in:

/
-home
 -joe
  -public_html
  -docs
  -uploads

Notice that, '/' and 'home' are not fully read at this point, we just insert them as placeholders for the user to click on. After that, you just want to add the directories in the clicked folder which aren't there each time the users clicks a folder.
This strategy is going to make life a million times easier. Even if you want to try those more complicated ways to handle this you'll want to start out with the basics.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that Congress passed last December is likely to produce some winners and losers when taxpayers file their returns next tax season.
TaxAudit, a tax audit defense service, came out with a list Wednesday of what it predicts will be the taxpayers who will be hit hardest on their taxes.
Among those who it expects will be paying more this year in taxes are those homeowners who have high loan balances, homeowners with nonqualified home equity debt, itemizers whose combined state and local taxes amount to more than $10,000, and parents whose dependents are 17 years of age and older.
• Taxpayers whose home mortgage loans are above $750,000 and loans were originated after Dec. 15, 2017. These taxpayers are subject to the new $750,000 mortgage loan limit.
• All taxpayers that have a HELOC (home equity line of credit) that wasn't used for acquisition, building or improvements on their principal home – interest is no longer deductible.
• Taxpayers who have combined state and local taxes over $10,000.
• Taxpayers who pay foreign property taxes, which is no longer a deduction under the new tax law.
• Employees who are no longer permitted to deduct unreimbursed expenses such as office-in-home, mileage, travel, meals and entertainment.
• Self-employed taxpayers whose income is above the threshold will be ineligible for the new Section 199A deduction if they belong in a "specified service trade or business" such as accounting.
• Taxpayers with dependents who are 17 years of age and over will lose the dependent exemption and the Child Tax Credit.
• Taxpayers who pay alimony and were divorced after Dec. 31, 2018. The deduction of alimony is no longer a valid deduction.
• Taxpayers who receive alimony and will have a final divorce decree before Jan. 1, 2019 will need to claim the alimony as ordinary income.
• Certain factors, such as a home office (not as an employee, though), can help to maximize a home mortgage interest deduction.
• Taxpayers with foreign taxes paid generally would benefit by using Form 1116 if they're over the $10,000 limit.
• There's a new $500 credit for eligible taxpayers who support a dependent that doesn't receive the Child Tax Credit.

You can never go wrong with a hot baked potato piled with melting butter sprinkled with a little salt and pepper. But sometimes you just need to get a little creative and take that baked potato from a side dish to the main dish.
We had a baked potato topping party and came up with some fun and delicious ways to top our spuds. These baked potatoes are pretty fantastic and definitely worth trying out! (If you're not sure how to bake a potato, you can check out this post for a good how-to).
Spread some ricotta on your potato. Top with some delicious homemade macaroni & cheese. Sprinkle with sharp cheddar cheese and bread crumbs. Place under broiler for a couple minutes to melt the cheese and toast the bread crumbs.
Top your baked potato with strips of steak, caramelized onions, cooked peppers & mushrooms and white cheddar cheese sauce.
Top a baked potato with lettuce, tomato, a hamburger, pepper jack cheese, onion rings and zesty sauce.
Top your baked potato with greek yogurt (or plain yogurt), cooked brussels sprouts, paprika and grated parmesan cheese.
A baked potato the kids are sure to love! Top baked potato with pizza sauce, mozzarella and pepperoni slices. Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Scoop out some of the flesh of a baked potato, creating a small bowl. Fill it with a big scoop of macaroni salad. Put a grilled hotdog on top and then pour some hot meat sauce all over.
Spread goat cheese and chives over potato. Top with diced tomato, avocado and cucumber. Sprinkle with cilantro and alfalfa sprouts.
Another good option for the little tots – top a baked potato with cheese sauce and sliced cooked hot dogs.
Top baked potato with black beans, cheese, salsa, sour cream, avocado, cilantro and jalapeños.
Top potato with chili then drizzle with white cheddar cheese sauce. Top with a couple slices of crispy bacon.
Add a dab of butter to a baked sweet potato. Sprinkle with pecan crumble (recipe below). Top with mini marshmallows and bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes or until topping and marshmallows are golden.

Should you change career or stay?
Firstly there is no "should". No really! I repeat - there IS no "should". There is only what you want to do.
The word "should" implies that there is some master who is dictating and career planning is not about kowtowing to anyone - least of all sub personalities within you who think you "should" do things.
Thirdly there is a better question " would it be helpful to me right now to fully explore my career potential and my career plans?" Yes or no. This question does not pose the questioner with a catch 22 situation with great likelihood of procrastination, guilt, denial, fear as "should I go or stay" does. The answer to the "should" question is very very complex and thus can rarely ever be answered with a yes or no thus at times leading to years of prevarication.
The issue of career change - even the phrase "career change" is an interesting one. More often than not career modifications do occur as a result of seeking career guidance but a radical change may not in the end be wanted - even if the person is grossly unhappy where they are. This is because there are many considerations to mull when considering a change in career.
In the end a sense of forwards progress, new goals to aim for that seem achievable, a feeling of being more in the driving seat of ones career and "more of what you want - less of what you don't want" is more important than radical shifts.
There is such a thing as a "transitional" career too. This occurs when the person is either not sure what their career desires or dreams are but they know for sure they don't want to remain where they are. The transitional career is helpful if it permits more time and energy for career planning. As a result of the transitional career - the final career move can be worked upon over months rather than knee jerk decisions being made.
What career model suits each individual at that particular time in their life is key to whether their job satisfaction and engagement with their PDP etc remains high.
The term portfolio career has become widely know but hybrid career is a term less used and they may seem similar at first glance.
A typical portfolio career might involve four sessions a week traditional general practice, two sessions a week in a private sports clinic, two session a week teaching at a medical school and one session writing some training materials.
A hybrid career might involve half the week as a surgeon and half the week in a commercial bioengineering setting. Or half the week as a GP and half as a Health Board adviser. Admittedly there are not that many surgeons working less than full time but there ARE some!
... any road will take you there. No prizes for recalling where that quote came from ( Alice in Wonderland).
If one is at position A and one knows that position Z is the goal and there is a clear vision - then it is much MUCH easier to plan towards it.
4) scattergun - where multiple poorly targetted efforts - again aimed primarily at "getting one out of where one is"
It must be emphasised that NONE of these approaches remotely resemble anything like career planning. Yet they are often used and the individual cons themselves into thinking they are doing some proactive careers work.
Proper career planning on the other hand is never desperate, always planned, not rushed and carefully targetted after extensive researching.
The questions of where to start and what to research are perhaps where career guidance can really make the most impact.
The moral is - to not spend time naval gazing and looking at what is wrong with ones career but to start a process of discovering what it might look like if it were a lot more of a fit to who you are at present.
Most people underestimate the amount of time required in the planning stages for career reevaluations.
I'd go as far as to say that for some there is a need to have a "preparation to plan" stage ( see easy career change - good career choice workbook).
The Career Review Programme we run takes a minimum of 6 hours and for some people up to 10 spread over a couple of weeks ( we don't recommend longer).
It has to be said that finding this time is probably one of the biggest challenges - even for part timers as the reason for being part time is invariably because there are other demands and responsibilities in the person's life.
Reclaiming some "me time" back can often be the very first step in career planning as without some protected time specifically allocated to the career - little is going to transpire. This time requirement is not just to complete our programme - but in which to complete all the things that will come out of the programme. So the 3-4 hours a week for two weeks to tackle the Review is the rough time frame that will be needed but for six months or more. To join a Review without first thinking about this is folly.
Why is time for one's career so difficult to find? Firstly one is busy "doing" the career and fitting in all life's little tasks like tax returns, dentist appointments, car servicing and supermarket shops. Secondly there is a tendency to batten down the hatches (denial) and focus on whats wrong ( negative mindset) in the career. It is common for people to either spend more time at work ( even though this is the very thing they are not happy with) or spend more time on things that are comforting ( expensive holidays, spending time with the family). Neither of these options actively make changes to the thing that is causing discomfort.
The other thing that is very common - people also wait for an inordinate level of discomfort before seeking career support. This is another "time" related issue and for another blog another day as I have run out of time!
If a person is ready for change, emotionally stable and with time and resources they can allocate to doing all the things that are required for forging radical change in ones working life - then it is reasonable to offer a career change programme.
If on the other hand the person is not well prepared for change, is mentally in a bad place and will find it really hard to allocate any time or resources on a consistent basis ( i.e. 6-12 months) and if they resist or do not engage in any of the recommendations - then a career change that is well matched and well researched is going to be hard to achieve.
So if a person falls into the second category above yet still yearns for a career change - what can be offered. I think the key thing is to address the basic things that perhaps are not being addressed first. For example - if a person's job is so very stressful and time hogging that they can not give appropriate time to career planning then the first step is to move to a post where perhaps the work is roughly the same but there is a slightly more flexible timetable. Alternatively they may need to get some assertiveness training as saying no can be an important first step in career planning. If a person is demonstrating signs of burnout and or depression or anxiety - these things need to be addressed BEFORE any effective career planning can take place.
This is where there is a slight catch 22 as if the current role is causing the strain then there can be a deep desire to cease that role ASAP. What is realistic and achievable is different in every person. But it is true that at times the first step in a career change is not the career change itself but preparation for doing so. This is extremely important to acknowledge as joining a career change programme without first grasping this point is going to lead to disappointment when a new career is not conjured out of the bag or taken away in a carrier bag.
I have written an workbook "easy career change - good career choice" as a preliminary learning element before someone delves into the Career Workbook.... which i hope will go some way to preparing people well before they begin to take any actions for their new career plan.


Action, CGI, COMICS, Marvel, MOVIES, News, Super Heros, T.V.
Loki, Scarlet Witch, Other Marvel Heroes to Get Own Series on Disney Streaming Service, Maybe?
Okay so that top part is a copy and paste from the article from Variety. See I am honest about where is got it from. But the thing that has me wondering is Marvel and Disney had no comment. The rest of the article goes on about the streaming service and cost of this and that but nothing to really confirm the story.
I am hoping that this all true and in a few days we will see confirmation from Disney and Marvel. If they plan on using the original actors from the movies to also do the TV series well take my money. But take what you read with a grain of salt. Even Variety may get it wrong.

The former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia: Zeid calls for alternatives to detention and expulsion of migrants
GENEVA (23 September 2016) – The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein on Friday called on the authorities of theformer Yugoslav Republic of Macedoniato end their systematic policy of expulsion and detention of migrants, following a visit to the country by his staff earlier this month.
Zeid said he was particularly concerned at the situation of some 180 migrants, including around 80 children, who have been living in limbo since March in two transit centres located in Tabanovce and Vinojug. They became stranded in the country after the closure of its borders on 8 March and were later transferred to the two centres.
"Since their arrival, there has been no individual assessment of the necessity or proportionality of their de facto detention," the High Commissioner said. "This is simply unacceptable, in particular when it comes to children."
An Afghan woman at Vinojug told the visiting UN human rights officers she was thankful for the food and the shelter provided to her and her family.
"But the uncertainty about our fate and the lack of prospects, with no end in sight, is killing us slowly, and creating huge tensions," she said. "I feel like I'm losing my humanity here. I don't even know the date or day of the week anymore. When I left my country, I had a good job. I am an educated woman. The only reason I left was fear that my kids could die at any moment. They desperately need to go to school and we, the parents, need to rebuild a dignified and normal life."
Zeid called for urgent measures to help stranded migrants return to a normal life, including by creating avenues for gainful employment, and he stressed the importance of offering displaced children proper education opportunities.
The High Commissioner said he was also deeply concerned at reports of pushbacks into neighbouring countries and collective and arbitrary expulsions of migrants, in breach of theformer Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia's international human rights obligations.
"I urge the Government to put an end to these practices, which are in breach of international law," Zeid said. "It is duty of the authorities to ensure that all migrants are properly and systematically screened so that vulnerable people are identified and adequate protection measures taken."
The UN human rights chief also expressed serious concerns about some very restrictive provisions of the Asylum Law, including its recently amended article 10a, which offers almost no possibility for the vast majority of the people who have arrived irregularly to legalize their stay, even when they have requested asylum.
Zeid called for asylum procedures to be strengthened, noting that of the some 600 people who have applied for asylum since 2015, only five have been granted refugee status at first instance. He deplored the fact that possibilities for family reunification have also become extremely restrictive.
The High Commissioner also urged the authorities to review the situation of migrants at a centre in Gazi Baba, in the capital Skopje. "Their administrative detention is being carried out in the absence of procedural safeguards or judicial oversight, and they are being kept in profoundly inadequate conditions," he said.
The UN human rights team that visited the site found most migrants were showing signs of considerable stress and were unaware of the reasons for their detention. The majority had not seen a lawyer or a prosecutor and none had been given a chance to challenge the legality or necessity of their detention. Serious concerns were also raised in terms of the regularity and privacy of contact with family members.
"It is important to recognize that these types of problems are not confined to the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, but also exist, sometimes to a greater degree, in neighbouring countries," Zeid said. "The succession of border closures across the Central European region has led to a significant increase in human suffering, and appears to be boosting the abusive smuggling and trafficking industries, leaving migrants – especially women and children – in a deplorably vulnerable situation. We have received reports of terrible abuses taking place, including rapes, extortion and kidnapping."
The High Commissioner urged the authorities to pay particular attention to the situation prevailing in Lojane and Vaksince, two villages on the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia that seem to have become smuggling hubs, and where widespread abuses have been reported.
"Many of these migrants have already had terrible experiences in their home countries, as well as during their journeys to Europe, and they deserve – and are legally entitled to – better treatment than this in countries that can afford to provide them with a measure of security and compassion," Zeid said. "It is not enough just to provide the minimum in terms of food and shelter, while simultaneously sending out such a stark message that nobody is welcome any more, no matter who they are or what they have been through."

Al in 1944 werd in het zuiden van Nederland begonnen met de oprichting van een Eenheids Vakbeweging (EVB), later omgedoopt tot Eenheids Vakcentrale (EVC). Het streven was een brede vakbeweging, die openstond voor alle werkenden. Vanaf 1945 groeide zij sterk uit onvrede over de uitsluiting van communisten door de algemene vakcentrale NVV. De EVC was aangesloten bij het in 1945 opgerichte Wereldvakverbond (WVV), een internationale koepelorganisatie van vakbonden.

In de eerste jaren na de bevrijding was de EVC zeer actief. De bond voerde loonacties en organiseerde stakingen, onder andere in de havens van Amsterdam en Rotterdam en grote bedrijven als Hoogovens en Werkspoor. Daarnaast ageerde de EVC tegen de politionele acties in Nederlands-Indië.

Op het hoogtepunt van haar bestaan, enkele jaren na de oprichting, had de EVC 160.000 leden. Pogingen tot samenwerking met andere vakbonden strandden echter door de anticommunistische opstelling van die bonden tijdens de Koude Oorlog. Maar ook de verhouding met de CPN was gespannen. De CPN beschouwde het bestaan van verschillende vakcentrales waarmee de arbeiders verdeeld werden langs levensbeschouwelijke lijnen (sociaaldemocratisch, christelijk, communistisch), als een ongewenst verschijnsel. Daarom ijverde de CPN al kort na de oorlog voor een fusie van gelijken tussen NVV en EVC. Ook de EVC-leiding deelde dat standpunt. Besprekingen tussen de EVC en NVV leidden daar niet toe.

Scheuring
Het dalend ledental deed de discussie ontbranden over opheffing van de vakbond in 1958. De CPN, bij monde van partijleider Paul de Groot, bleef op het standpunt dat het bestaan van verschillende vakcentrales voor de arbeiders nadelig was, zelfs zo nadelig dat de EVC ruime toegevingen moest doen om tot de gewenste eenheid van arbeiders te komen. De scheuring in de EVC viel ten dele samen met de afsplitsing van de Brug-groep uit de CPN. EVC-bestuurders Frits Reuter en Bertus Brandsen zegden hun partijlidmaatschap op; zij werden mede-oprichters van de Brug-groep. Partijgetrouwe EVC-bestuurders vormden een "voorlopige commissie" die op 7 en 8 juni een buitengewoon congres organiseerde. Dit buitengewoon congres koos een nieuwe leiding die zich tegenover de "oude" EVC-leiding van Brandsen-Reuters plaatste.

De EVC splitste zich in een groep Brandsen-Reuters e.a., die verderging als "oude" EVC, en een CPN-getrouwe, zgn. EVC-1958. De BVD schatte de aanhang van de "oude" EVC op minder dan 3.000 en dat van de EVC-1958 op 15.000 tot 18.000. Opgeteld nog minder dan vóór de scheuring. Beide EVC's maakten aanspraak op het lidmaatschap van het WVV, wat uiteindelijk in het voordeel van de EVC-1958 werd beslecht.

Opheffing
Na de scheuring werd de opheffing van de EVC-1958 doorgezet. De opheffing was in 1960 een feit. Een deel van de werkzaamheden van de EVC werd tijdelijk voortgezet in het Centrum van propaganda voor eenheid en klassenstrijd, onder leiding van Fré Meis. Feitelijk fungeerde dit centrum als sterfhuis voor de EVC '58.  De activiteiten op de werkvloer werden voortgezet door de bedrijfskernen van de CPN.  Door het anticommunisme in de NVV-bonden konden (ex-)EVC'ers en CPN'ers niet als vanzelfsprekend tot de NVV toetreden; alle aanmeldingen bij NVV bonden als Mercurius werden gescreend door de BVD. De "oude" EVC werd, na een afgewezen fusie met het OVB, in 1964 opgeheven. De uitzondering op de teloorgang van de EVC vormde de ABWB -aangesloten bij de EVC '58!- die tot in de jaren (negentien)tachtig heeft bestaan.

Vertegenwoordiging
Sterke vertegenwoordiging had de EVC onder de bouwvakarbeiders, in de metaalbedrijven en scheepswerven in Amsterdam. Als niet-erkende bond kon de EVC voor de ondernemingsraadsverkiezingen in bedrijven geen eigen lijsten indienen, in tegenstelling tot erkende bonden. Dat verhinderde haar niet eigen kandidaten te stellen.

Bedrijfsbonden aangesloten bij de EVC
Als vakcentrale bestond de EVC uit aangesloten bedrijfsbonden. Deze bonden publiceerden ook ieder eigen tijdschriften. De bedrijfsbonden waren onder meer:
ABHM (Algemene Bond van Werkers in de Hout- en Meubileringsindustrie)
ABT (Algemene Bedrijfsbond Transport)
ABTI (Tabakindustrie)
ABV (Algemene Bond van Vervoerspersoneel)
ABWB (Algemene Bond van Werkers in de Bouwnijverheid)
ABWM (Algemene Bond van Werkers in het Mijnbedrijf)
ANBH (Algemene Nederlandse Bond van Hotelpersoneel)
ATLK (Algemene Bond van Werkers in de Textiel- en Kledingindustrie)
ASV (Algemene Bond van Vervoerspersoneel)
BHBV (Algemene Bond van Werknemers in Handel- Bank en Verzekeringswezen)
BLZ (Bond van Land- en Zuivelarbeiders)
BNOP (Bond van Nederlands Overheidspersoneel)
Chevofa (Chemische-, voeding- en fabriekmatige bedrijven)

Q: Does regenerating a wildcard SSL with CA invalidate it across previous properties/sites? I'm migrating my company's primary website to a new production environment. I'm going to rekey and regenerate the SSL against the new production environment. The SSL cert we have is a wildcard cert that covers several properties and sub-domains.
Does regenerating a wildcard SSL with the CA invalidate it across previous properties/sub-domains? I'm assuming that if I regenerate the SSL, I'll need to install the respective certs to all environments I wish to cover with SSL. Thanks in advance.

In 12 days participant of the expedition had an opportunity to closely study the region, starting from the oldest national park in Central Asia – Aksu-Zhabagyly. The territory of the park is 131 934 ha (326 acres). Here you may explore rare species and more than 170 types of plants.
Here in the national park visitors can take several tours including ecological for nature lovers and educational tour for children and students. One of the most popular spot at the park is the canyon – Aksu, which used to be a settlement in ancient time, and this can be proved by the mysterious stone pictures. The depth of the canyon is about 1800 meters.
The travelers made a stop at Sairamsu Lake, which is located at an altitude of 2350 meters. Sairam-Ugam National Park is located in the northeast part of the Tyan-Shyan Mountains. The lake is considered to be originating from the mountains' glaciation, since its water drains into the lake via underground springs.
Besides this, travelers could see remains of another ancient city Sauran, which was also located on the way of the Great Silk Road. Today the regional administration puts all efforts to preserve and promote the beautiful landscapes that are very attractive to tourists. Therefore, the local administration created the concept of "Ancient Turkistan", where the approaches for the development of tourism, construction of new buildings and reconstruction of old streets are included.
"The New Silk Road" route turned into the most intense one, since in a short time travelers had to explore so many places starting from Zharkent city and ending with the ancient city settlement Otyrar. The route took travelers through counties Khorgos and Saty, Kolsai lakes in the high mountains, Kaiyndy lake, Sharyn national park, Temirlik canyons, "Valley of castles", national state park Altyn-Emel, Aktau mountains, Singing sand dune, an ancient settlement Talkhis, Tanbaly tract, Akyrtas archeological complex, and mausoleums of Karakhan and Aisha-bibi.Otyrar city was final destination of the tour project "Travelling to the land of the Great steppe" (Uly dala eline sayakhat). The minister of culture and sport of Republic of Kazkahstan Arystan Makhmediuly greeted the participants of the project at the end of the trip.
"I am glad to greet and deliver my congratulations with the end of the largest route of the project "Uly dala eline sayakhat".It has been amazing but yet challenging trip, which you guys took with a great courage. This expedition has great value in developing tourism in Kazakhstan. Traveling throughout Kazakhstan, discovering every corner of our large country past three months you have explored so many incredible and magnificent places. Indeed the results of your expedition demonstrate that we have plenty of places that are fascinating and historically important. All we need is continuing working in this direction, bringing the inner tourism to the new level, preserving for the next generation, and presenting this legacy to the foreign tourists," stated Arystan Mukhamediuly.
It needs to be said, that on the way back the participants will be exploring popular places of Shymkent city and visiting the famous Akmeshit cave, which is 90 km (60 miles) away from Shymkent. The edges inside of the limestone cave remind a dome of the nomad's house (yurt).
In general, the participants of the travel project walked thousands of kilometers. At each sequence of the route, they have taken plenty of pictures and videos. Based on this collection special photo-video bank, as well as new guides and routes for tourists will be created.
The expedition "Traveling to the land of the Great steppe" was organized in the framework of the celebration the 20th anniversary of Astana. The sponsor of the project is "Kazak tourism" National Company commissioned by the Committee of the tourism industry of the Ministry of Culture and Sports. The Republican public association "QazaqGeography" implemented the route "The New Silk Road". The expedition team consisted of experienced travelers, representatives of tour agencies, bloggers from Kazakhstan and other countries, as well as the travel crew of "National Geographic Russia".
Otyrar settlement — is the ancient site under the sky protected by UNESCO. Visitors can see the ruins of the ancient palace, mosques, and houses demonstrating the scale and vitality of the city. The mausoleum of venerated Sifu Arystan-Baba is located not far from Otrar. This mausoleum is one of the most visited places in the South region of Kazakhstan. Every day pilgrims from all around the country and tourists come here to see this historical legacy. The mausoleum is under state protection since 1982.
The infrastructure of the area of tourism is quite organized. Tourists can easily find hotels, marketplaces, rest areas, and restaurants. On the top of that, local people are ready to assist visitors showing them must-see places, arranging accommodations and meal.
Near to the ancient settlement another 1500-year-old historical city is located. This year Turkistan city became the center of its region. The main sight of the ancient city is the mausoleum of Khoja Ahmet Yassawi, built by the request of Tamerlane the Great. The mausoleum is considered as the sacred place for Turk nations. Besides the mausoleum, there are also many other historical buildings and tombs of Kazakh khans and nobles.

One show, daily
I attended a taping of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart today in NYC. Great fun. Actually way more fun than I thought it would be. I guess I just figured it would be a little sterile in a studio setting, but it was actually funnier. For instance, I always assumed that the correpondent reports that are filed from "Baghdad" and "Washington D.C." — obviously in front of a green screen — were at least done backstage or something. In fact, the correspondents are mere feet from Stewart on stage and watching his off-camera reaction to their reports is hilarious. Sometimes it felt like he didn't know what they were going to say, though of course it is scripted and flowing past on the telepromters. The staff cracks up constantly too — and why not? Just great to see how much everyone enjoys the show. There's a bit of a pre-show standup routine by a staffer that was really quite funny and then Stewart comes out to answer some audience questions. One guy asked Stewart how he felt about the fans who purchased the old show set on eBay and are touring around the country. He said he had not heard about it — which I find very hard to believe. (Thanks for the tickets, Matty!)

Will Todd Philips strike again?
Thread: Will Todd Philips strike again?
Gotham citizen
It seems Todd Philips would love direct a Batman movie set in his Gotham City; https://www.cinemablend.com/news/248...he-joker-world

«Let me get this straight: you kink that your client, […], is secretly a vigilante who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands and your plan is to blackmail this person? Good luck.»
«Joker is a violent and inartistic movie, not like that masterpiece of A Clockwork Orange.» Yes, some critic of the AMPAS was able to say that.
«What weight 6 ounces, sits in a tree and is very dangerous?» «A sparrow with a machine gun!» from "Batman'66 the movie"

Matt Reeves is a better fit. I want a solid series, at least.
Follow your inner moonlight, do not hide the madness. -Ginsberg
I'm morbidly curious how Philips would envision Batman after how he handled Joker.

I want that kind of variety in live action films too, and having Todd Phillips and Matt Reeves both making Batman movies is a good step in that direction. If both directors make successful Batman movies that the audience realize are unrelated to each other then maybe that will open the floodgates. Forget a shared universe, we could have a cinematic multiverse!
It's Batman vs. the Joker, except they're both just really dumb and mentally ill to the point of it being really sad.

But criminal mastermind this one was not. That was kind of the point for this one, but I'm not sure I would be interested in an ongoing narrative for him. Law of diminishing returns.
Eh, law of diminishing returns is a problem for everything, but as fans of a 75+ year old character it's not something we should be too concerned about.
I think it's more this particular iteration of the character than the Joker in general, at least for me.
it was a throwback to 70s style cinema, so I have a hard time seeing it being used in big franchise sequels because those types of films don't lent itself to that.
But who knows, they might make it work if they tried.
We haven't really had a period piece live-action Batman movie so on that merit I think it would be interesting to see how they'd approach things.
gregpersons
100% agree. DC's strength is the Multiverse. Marvel's strength is the one shared universe. I think it is to DC's advantage to push multiple interpretations of their big characters simultaneously.
Anyway I'd be interested in a sequel with a different version of Batman from what Reeves/Pattinson are doing. The main thing I wanted from the Joker film was for Batman to eventually punch him in the face. I think Phillips could do a great job adapting The Killing Joke for a sequel.
I don't see a problem if they keep the cost low like they did for Joker. They made a billion on a film that was like 50/55 million to make. There is so much room to accommodate diminishing returns it would be silly to worry about it this soon. If WB can tempt Phillips to make a Joker sequel or a Batman movie set in that verse they'd be stupid not too. If the budget remains in the same ballpark as the last it'd still be profitable even if it only took in half the proceeds.
Isn't the Matt Reeves The Batman supposed to be set in the 90s? That's about when the kid from JOKER would be grown up enough to be Batman (Joker was set in the early 80s).

The challenge is on: How might we leverage libraries as a platform to build more knowledgeable communities?
By Michael Lieberman on October 15, 2014 at 9:44 PM
The Good Food and Bookmobile This project will take a traditional bookmobile and add kitchen components to bring core community services to people in rural areas, building community, increasing community capacity, and ensuring access for all.
The mission of the Knight Foundation is simple: To support "transformational ideas that promote quality journalism, advance media innovation, engage communities and foster the arts. We believe that democracy thrives when people and communities are informed and engaged."
One way they do this is to pose a challenge to the community at large, sift through the responses and then fund the winners.
The latest challenge is:
How might we leverage libraries as a platform to build more knowledgeable communities?
680 responses have been submitted and the challenge is currently in its feedback phase.
"During this phase, we review every entry we received, with the help of a team of outside readers. We also invite the public to look through submissions and offer feedback, ideas, and questions." Then the refinement period kicks in followed by the evaluation period which leads us to January 30, 2015 when the winners will be announced and the $2.5 million will be distributed!
The submissions are as varied as the patrons that populate our public libraries.
Here is just a taste:
The Library Map application: a digital tool to promote physical library use and uncover hidden resources in the library landscape in New York City.
A pop-up digital media literacy lab provides access and training in digital media within underserved communities, connects neighborhoods to libraries and municipal services, and engages residents in collective storytelling across Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
Click here to view the embedded video.
3rd Space: Knowledge, Portals and People in a Real-Time University-Public Library Network. Create an interactive broadcast system for librarians to curate and engage the public using university transmediated knowledge.
LIBRARY CARD: Check out a periodical–Turn in a connection Inspired by the nostalgia of old-school library cards that captured the history of a periodical's use, this digital platform would allow one who checked out a periodical to connect with others who previously checked out that same periodical.
Your Next Skill: strengthening the community through a personalized service delivered by public librarians to help people acquire new knowledge and skills tailored to their individual goals and learning styles.
Feminist Library On Wheels (F.L.O.W.) Donated feminist texts, artifacts and ephemera on loan for free in Los Angeles through a network of volunteers riding bicycles and industrial tricycles with shelves and storage.
I can go on and on.
Go get lost in the possibilities
What a great project!

I basically loop, get the raw image of the shadowed user's screen using XGetImage then dump that image into a Window.  This is using massive amounts of CPU.  I can see why considering that I am manipulating large images every centisecond.
Is there a more efficient way to do this?  VNC essentially takes a capture of the user's screen and sends it over the wire (compressed of course) but does not use nearly as much CPU.

A: You can use the DAMAGE extension to get notified when the screen is updated and what part of the screen has changed, so you don't need to grab the whole screen every 10 microseconds if nothing changes (which is much more often than users can see changes if the display is running with a 60 Hz refresh rate), nor would you need to grab the entire screen if all that changed is a 10x10 pixel area where their clock is displayed.


Where there's blog, there's vlog, or so the old saying goes. After quite a long time considering it, I've finally crossed the bridge into vlogging, and I can only imagine there is no going back and reclaiming of the dignity lost in doing so. No one said it would be easy, or pretty, and that's good for expectations, because it's neither of those things.
I started off well enough with the best of intentions, but once the weather turned sour, shooting video became a minor priority. So, enjoy what feels like a half-assed attempt at self-documentation and is especially inferior next to the resulting photography.

MINSK, 26 November (BelTA) – Chairperson of the Council of Republic's Standing Commission on Economy, Budget and Finance Tatyana Runets has been elected Deputy Chairperson of the Standing Commission on Economy and Finance of the CIS Inter-Parliamentary Assembly. The decision was taken at the meeting of the CIS IPA Standing Commission on 26 November, BelTA learned from the press service of the upper chamber of the parliament.
In her speech, Tatyana Runets thanked the commission members for their trust. "I am glad to join the work of the IPA CIS Standing Commission on Economy and Finance in the status of its Deputy Chairperson. I hope for joint fruitful work in the economic block of the Assembly," she said.
The MP said that the agenda of the meeting comprised 17 issues, including organizational ones and also draft model laws and recommendations.
The participants of the meeting considered issues related to the activity of the CIS IPA Standing Commission, and heard out information on the results of its work in 2019. The participants exchanged views on the results of the meeting of the CIS IPA Expert Council on Economy in 2020 and made decisions on the recommendations made by the Council.
Belarus made a number of proposals on the agenda. As for the CIS IPA draft model law "On state regulation of foreign trade activity", the need was noted to improve or systematic update of the document due to the fact that it was developed in 2015, and currently, foreign trade activity is carried out in accordance with the rules of the World Trade Organization, regulated by the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union, the CIS Free Trade Zone Treaty.
Regarding the draft documents developed by the CIS IPA CIS together with the EBRD on public-private partnership in the CIS countries (the collection of model documents, methodological recommendations and practices), Tatyana Runets said that the government agencies and organizations that reviewed the package supported and highly appreciated the relevance of the documents and their applicability to the Republic of Belarus.

Can't wait for the mac version of Orchid album, I am looking forward to being able to work with database on both my mac and Macbook. I have many orchids growers who love the concept of your iPhone app…. to be able to transfer it to their mac and update both ways, will really help them in the greenhouse from just having a iPhone app that can take pictures and log in new plants, to a desktop version that can really be a great tool for coordinating their passion for orchids, into a great business tool as well. I would love a feature on the mac version to be able to create reports with pictures to build a catalogue of your collection. being able to choose the fields that you would want to work with. Either way I am looking forward to your update and mac version. Orchid Album is a terrific application…… way to go Andrew….


It could be: Thyroid problems, especially if moisturizer doesn't help. When the thyroid gland (the butterfly-shaped gland in the base of your neck) goes on the fritz, it doesn't properly produce thyroid hormones, which control metabolic rate, blood pressure, tissue growth, and skeletal and nervous system development. Thyroid problems cause severe dryness of the skin, says Marlene Reid, DPM, a foot specialist in Naperville, Illinois. When we see cracking on the feet, or if moisturizer doesn't improve dryness over a few days, we usually refer patients to their primary doctor to make sure their thyroids are OK. Brittle toenails can also signal thyroid complications.
It could be: Arterial disease. If the fuzz on your toes suddenly disappears, it could signal poor blood circulation caused by peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Signs of PAD can include decreased hair growth on the feet and ankles, purplish toes, and thin or shiny skin," says Suzanne Fuchs, DPM, a podiatric surgeon at North Shore University Hospital in New York. A buildup of plaque in the leg arteries, PAD affects about 8 million Americans. Symptoms are subtle, but doctors can check for a healthy pulse in the foot or spot PAD on an X-ray. If I take an X-ray of a broken foot, and I see a hardening of the arteries, 99 percent of the time, the same thing is happening in the heart blood vessels, says Gary A. Pichney, DPM, a podiatric surgeon of The Institute for Foot and Ankle Reconstruction at Mercy Medical Center.
It could be: Diabetes. Uncontrolled glucose levels can damage nerves and cause poor circulation, so blood doesn't reach the feet. When blood doesn't get to a wound caused by, say, irritating shoes, the skin doesn't heal properly. "Many, many people with diabetes are diagnosed first because of foot problems," says Reid. Other signs of diabetes may include tingling or numbness of the feet. Ask your doctor about getting your blood sugar levels tested.
It could be: What you ate. Gorged on wine and steak? The painful aftermath could be gout, a type of arthritis that usually affects the joint of the big toe. Foods high in purine, a chemical compound found in red meats, fish, and certain alcohol, can trigger an attack by raising levels of uric acid in the body. Uric acid is normally excreted through urine, but is overproduced or under-excreted in some people. You'll see the deposition of the uric acid in the joint, most commonly the big toe or the ankle, says Bob Baravarian, DPM, a podiatric foot and ankle specialist at Providence Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, California. The patient will wake up with a hard, red, swollen joint. It's extremely painful.€ A doctor may prescribe anti-inflammatory drugs for short-term relief and suggest a low-purine diet for long-term prevention.
It could be: A heart infection. Red streaks underneath the toenails or fingernails could be broken blood vessels known as splinter hemorrhages. These occur when small blood clots damage the tiny capillaries under the nails. They can signal endocarditis, an infection of the heart's inner lining. People who have an existing heart condition, have received a pacemaker, or who have chronically suppressed immune systems (such as cancer patients receiving chemotherapy, HIV patients, and diabetes patients) are at higher risk of developing endocarditis. The infection can result in heart failure if left untreated. If you notice splinter hemorrhages on your toenails or fingernails, and haven't experienced any recent trauma to the nail, see your doctor to check your heart and blood circulation.
It could be: Lung cancer or heart disease.Another symptom that appears in both toes and fingers, clubbing is often associated with lung cancer, chronic lung infection, heart disease, or intestinal disease. Lung cancer and heart disease decrease vascular resistance, which means blood flow to the small arteries in the toenails and fingertips will increase. Tissue swells and results in the clubbed appearance (rounder, wider fingers and toes). Though patients are typically aware they have a disease that is causing the clubbing, it's best to get checked if you see any abnormalities.
It could be: Psoriasis. If you find tiny holes, grooves, or ridges in your toenails, you may have nail psoriasis. Though most people who experience nail psoriasis also have skin psoriasis (an autoimmune disease that makes skin patchy and irritated), 5 percent of people with nail psoriasis aren't affected elsewhere. If you've never been diagnosed with psoriasis, but your toenails have little pits in them, you should get them checked out, says Pichney. Other symptoms include white patches and horizontal lines across the nails. To treat psoriasis, your doctor may prescribe topical creams or steroids to be injected under the nail.
It could be: Anemia or lupus. Do you have a depression in the toenail deep enough to hold a water droplet? Also known as koilonychias, spoon-shaped toenails or fingernails can indicate iron deficiency, as well as hemochromatosis (overproduction of iron), Raynaud's disease (which affects blood supply to the fingers and toes), and sometimes lupus (an autoimmune disease in which the body's immune system attacks cells, tissues, and organs). Spooned nails occasionally appear in infants, but normalize in the first few years of life. If you notice spooning, contact your physician, who will administer a blood test to identify the exact cause.

Tom Holland biography
Born in Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey, England, Thomas Stanley Holland is a British actor/dancer who first gained fame for his role in the stage musical Billy Elliot the Musical at the Victoria Palace Theatre, London.
The son of Nicola Elizabeth and Dominic Anthony Holland, a comedian and an author, Tom lives in Kingston-upon-Thames with his family, including brothers Sam, Harry (who are twins) and Paddy.
He has studied at Wimbledon College and began a two-year program in the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology in September 2012.
Nifty Feet Dance School in Wimbledon, London was where Tom began dancing. His potential was spotted by choreographer Lynne Page when Tom performed with his dance school as a part of the 2006 Richmond Dance Festival. At the time, Lynne was the choreographer of Billy Elliot the Musical. After two long years of training and auditions, Tom made his West End debut on June 28, 2009 as Michael, Billy's best friend. His first performance in the title role of Billy took place September 8, 2008 and he received many reviews praising his versatility in both acting and dancing. His run as Billy in the musical came to a close May 29, 2010.
Two months later, Tom successfully auditioned and won a starring role in the Juan Antonio Bayona film The Impossible, alongside Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor. Based on a true story about the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake, the film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 9, 2012.
Tom received major buzz for his performance in the film from both the media and his fellow actors. When UK film blog Flicks and Bits asked Ewan McGregor about Tom's performance, he said: "It was wonderful watching Tom who had never worked in front of a camera before, to see him really get it and grow as a film actor as he went alone. He's really talented and polite to everyone. It's easy for children to lose perspective, but he's absolutely on the right road and a brilliant actor." He starred in How I Live Now (2013) the thriller Locke (2014), the action adventure flick In the Heart of the Sea (2015).
He also played alongside Charlie Hunnam and Robert Pattinson in the action adventure film The Lost City of Z (2017), but his biggest role to date was when he was cast as Peter Parker in the big budget flick Captain America: Civil War (2016). He has since made appearances in other Marvel pictures, including Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019). He has already line up films for 2020, including Onward and The Voyage of Doctor Dolittle .
Since October 2012, Tom has been heading a reputable British charity called the Anthony Nolan Trust, which campaigns to encourage young people to register as potential blood marrow donors.
