Q: How to call https api from wpf I'm trying to call the https API from the WPF application but i'm getting this error:

InnerException = {"The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected
  error occurred on a send."} Message = "An error occurred while sending
  the request."

Can anyone help me what exactly the problem is?
  private static readonly string apiURL =
                "https://api.totalsynergy.com/api/v2/Profile/Index";

  private async Task<bool> GetAuth(string accessToken)
    {
        try
        {
            HttpClient hc = new HttpClient();
            HttpResponseMessage hpm = await hc.GetAsync(apiURL);

            if (hpm.IsSuccessStatusCode)
            {
                var res = await hpm.Content.ReadAsAsync<Organization>();
            }

            return boolValue;
        }
        catch (HttpRequestException e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("\nException Caught!");
            Console.WriteLine("Message :{0} ", e.Message);
            return boolValue;
        }
    }

A: When is HTTPS, connection requires some protocols.
In my example I have a API URL that I call and can send some information and receive the response in JSON. You can adapt this to your problem:
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = delegate { return true; };

               //get OS version
                var query = "SELECT version FROM Win32_OperatingSystem";
                var searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(query);
                var info = searcher.Get().Cast<ManagementObject>().FirstOrDefault();
                string version = info.Properties["Version"].Value.ToString();
                int majorVersion = Int32.Parse(version.Substring(0, version.IndexOf(".")));

                //OS version is windows xp or older
                if (majorVersion < 6)
                {

Louis Mangels arrived in New York City in 1866 with his parents. At 14 years of age he had just emigrated from Germany and immediately left for the West Coast, by way of Panama. There was a distant connection to the Spreckles, another German family that was already experiencing financial success in San Francisco. They arrived on June 22, 1866.
During the next ten years, through the Spreckles connection, Louis learned to be a cooper. He also studied and saved enough money to buy 240 acres of land in 1876. He planted grape vines. By the following year, Claus Mangels was born to the Louis Mangels family. Thirteen years later, in 1889, Louis expanded his operation when he purchased the inventory of the Schultz Brothers Winery. He continued working the ranch; and by 1893, Louis Mangels decided that it was time to build his first wine cellar. Solano Winery went on to become one of the largest producing wineries in the state of California.
By 1906, the Mangels winery was producing 500,000 gallons of wine a year. Just the year before, Louis's son Claus married Celia Rohwer. The family then took another interesting road to expansion. In 1910, Louis Mangels brought his two oldest sons into a business partnership, naming the company L. Mangels and Sons. By 1920, Prohibition hit the United States, with L. Mangels and Sons being one of seven wineries allowed to continue to legally produce wine for the government. A lot of the tonnage was shipped to the East Coast, to large eastern markets. Within a year, Claus Mangels became sole proprietor.
When it became unprofitable to ship grapes to the East Coast, a partnership with the Colonial Grape Products Company was formed. This entity became known as the Solano Grape Products Company. By 1932, the Solano Grape Products Company was incorporated under the name of Solano Winery. After Prohibition in 1933, the government began to bond wineries. "Solano Winery" became Bonded Winery Number 42. Claus planted more vineyards and leased another 153 acres with a Bonzi Vineyard at Monticello, in Napa County. After the repeal, the Solano Winery's wine cellar was well stocked with many products, including both aged (fortified) sweet and dry wines. The building and cooperage were rented from Claus Mangels. Wine sales were brisk, especially the Solano Winery "house" brand. This led to the selection of its own name, which became "Chief Solano." Other successful brands were Cordelia, Solano, and C. R. Mangels.
In just two years, the market for the Mangels wines had spread over the nation and to foreign lands. In 1936, Claus Mangels purchased the stock formerly held by the Colonial Grape Products Company, which gave him 97 percent of the stock held in the company. One year later, Solano Winery was producing 350,000 gallons of wine a year, crushing nearly all of the grapes in Suisun Valley. By 1943, faced with the need to renovate and upgrade the winery, Claus Mangels decided to sell Solano Winery to Horace O. Lanza of Sunnyside Winery. Current production at that time was between 450,000 and 500,000 gallons of wine a year.
Horace O. Lanza was an official of the California Grape Products Company of San Francisco, and had been a business partner for six years during prohibition. With the sale, however, Claus maintained his home, vineyards, and other property. By 1950, the winery was no longer in operation. Claus passed away in 1950, and his son Lewis inherited the property. Lewis expanded the livestock operation while continuing to grow grapes for the Sebastiani Winery and Christian Brothers.
In 1973, Gary Mangels joined his father Lewis in the family ranching business. In 1988, Gary purchased land that would eventually become Mangels Vineyards. He planted his first vines in 1991. Over time Gary has learned which varieties are best suited for his location in Suisun Valley. In 2009, Gary and winemaker Gina Richmond founded Mangels Vineyards.
Presently, they are producing premium varietals from Mangels Vineyards, Suisun Valley.

SHATZKES, MOSES AARON:
By: Herman Rosenthal, A. S. Waldstein
Russian Hebrew author; born at Karlin 1825; died at Kiev Aug. 24, 1899. He received a general as well as a Hebrew education, and he devoted himself to literature. His literary labors brought him little material benefit, however, and he was always in straitened circumstances. He spent the last twenty years of his life in Kiev.
The most important work by Shatzkes is "Ha-Mafteaḥ" (Warsaw, 1866-69), in which he applied modern methods of investigation to the allegorical sayings of the Talmud and Midrash. This book at the time of its publication created a stir among the Orthodox Jews on account of its radical views, for it represented an innovation in the field of Hebrew literature. To Judæo-German readers Shatzkes is best known through his "Yüdisher Erev Pesach," a satirical sketch of Jewish life, which has been often republished. He wrote also "Hashḳafah 'al Debar Sefer Iyyob" (in "Ha-Asif," ii. 241-261), on the religious philosophy of the Book of Job. He left a number of manuscripts in Hebrew and Judæo-German.

I Support Hillary Clinton
By Edward I Koch | Wednesday, 26 December 2007 02:00 PM EST
With the presidential primaries fast approaching, I believe it is appropriate for me to share my thoughts with you regarding some of the candidates.
I am a supporter and campaigner for Hillary Clinton for president. Of all the Democratic candidates, she, in my opinion, is the best of those running, and I intend to vote for her, as I did when she first ran for the U.S. Senate and again when she ran for re-election. She believes in moderation and espouses many of the best ideas for reform of our system which desperately needs reform.
Hillary has demonstrated an ability to succeed and get things done. I don't agree with all of her positions, nor did my supporters agree with all of mine. You will recall I said to those whose vote I was soliciting, "Pick a dozen issues. If you agree with me on eight out of 12, vote for me. If you agree with me on all 12, see a psychiatrist."
I agree with Hillary on more than eight out of 12 issues. I both like and trust her. Integrity is, for me and I believe for most of us, the most important of all candidate virtues. I believe she has integrity and has made it through the school of hard knocks with that integrity intact. I also believe that John McCain, who is, in my judgment, the best of all the Republican candidates, likewise has integrity and is a war hero to boot.
No Republican can win the presidential election — this will be a democratic year and sweep — but if one does, I hope it is McCain. I don't agree with him on anything close to eight out of 12 issues. With him, I'm probably down to two or three. However, compared to his Republican rivals, he is a modern day Teddy Roosevelt. I wish him well and success in obtaining the Republican nomination.
Strictly on the issues, I agree most with John Edwards. However, while his populist rhetoric is enticing, his personality repels me.
I agree with Edwards that we are living in two Americas — one for the affluent and the other for the poor; and with him deplore that condition.
I truly believe that government should get out of the way as much as possible in economic endeavors and allow individuals to rise professionally and economically based on their individual ability and merit. But government does have a role. It must level the playing field and reduce the gross disparities that exist in our society.
Much of our individual success often depends on whom we know, not what we know. The most famous and successful populist was Gov. Huey Long of Louisiana, until he was assassinated. He partnered politically with both Father Charles Coughlin, a vicious anti-Semite and populist, and with Gerald L.K. Smith, who was the minister at Long's funeral service. According to Wikipedia, Smith claimed that Long's assassination was ordered by "the Roosevelt gang, supported by the New York Jew machine."
A New York Times article of Dec. 23 reports, "Mr. Edwards is running perhaps the most populist campaign of any major candidate in a generation. He has called for universal health insurance, tighter trade restrictions, more financial aid for college students and higher taxes on the rich. In several cases, his main Democratic rivals have followed his lead,. The political system is now rigged to help the rich, Mr. Edwards says, which makes a journey like his, from modest beginnings to the middle class and far beyond it, much harder than it was."
But historically, populism has often included blaming the Jews for the world's problems, with its proponents engaging in anti-Semitism to increase their support.
Let me hasten to add that Edwards has, to my knowledge, never exhibited an iota of anti-Semitism. I have never met him, but people I know have and speak very well of him. I resent his having, despite his populist philosophy, the largest home imaginable — 28,000 square feet. I resent his $400 haircuts. I also know that every effort to have government manage the economy, with those in charge professing it was intended to bring economic justice to eliminate poverty, has ended in repression of political rights and a lowering of economic standing for all except those in government.
So, I support our free market economy — regulated capitalism — but believe that within our capitalist and democratic system, so much more can and should be done to help those in need, and reduce, and if possible, eliminate, the inequities and disparities.
In this regard, I applaud Harvard University's recent announcement that middle class students, chosen on intellectual merits, would be given grants by Harvard. The Times reported on Dec. 19, "Harvard's new financial aid policy is the boldest move yet to mitigate the soaring costs of a college education. Most previous efforts to make higher education affordable have focused, as they should, on helping low-income students. Now Harvard will also provide generous aid to students whose annual family incomes reach as high as $180,000. It is a welcome move, but also a disturbing admission that the priciest colleges are now beyond the reach of even many upper-middle-class families."
Let me now, a week before the new year, wish all of my readers, listeners, friends and those not so friendly, the very best for 2008.
With the presidential primaries fast approaching, I believe it is appropriate for me to share my thoughts with you regarding some of the candidates. I am a supporter and campaigner for Hillary Clinton for president.Of all the Democratic candidates, she, in my opinion, is...

Special report | Home working
The rise of working from home
The shift to a hybrid world of work will have a big impact on managers
A POPULAR CLICHé of 2020 was that covid-19 accelerated pre-existing trends. Yet that is a poor description of the massive rupture to office work. Before the pandemic Americans spent 5% of their working time at home. By spring 2020 the figure was 60%. The shift has gone better than expected. People are working longer hours, but they report higher levels of happiness and productivity. As lockdowns lift, working from home is likely to stay.
A growing body of research points to what post-pandemic working patterns may look like. In one paper José Maria Barrero, Nick Bloom and Steven Davis, three economists, survey thousands of Americans and conclude that, after the pandemic, the average employee would like to work from home nearly half the time. Employers are less keen, but their expectation that a fifth of working time will be spent at home (one day a week) is a big change from the previous norm. It also presents a huge opportunity for office-based workers.
In places that have conquered covid-19, working from home has stuck—though perhaps not as much as some people might have hoped. Data for New Zealand show that, in the three months to December 2020, 27% of people in employment worked at home at some time during the week. Direct pre-pandemic comparisons do not exist, but there is little doubt that this represents a big increase. Tracking data from Google suggest that attendance at South Korean workplaces has settled at a level marginally lower than it was before covid-19.
The shift to a hybrid world of work means that some fanciful predictions from early in the pandemic will not come to pass. "Remote-only" companies will remain a small minority. Firms will continue to "onboard" new staff in the old-fashioned way—they can do it in an office, rather than by video-link—while junior staff will still have an opportunity to skulk by the lifts in hopes of grabbing five minutes with the chief executive. Cities will not empty. Firms will not swap their full-time staff for freelancers, which might be tempting if the workforce were wholly remote.
Yet the blurring of home and office will have huge consequences. It will force managers to raise their game, improving office life for all. It will lead to changes in employment law to offer better protection for workers who spend less time in the office. And less positively, it will deepen political and cultural divisions between cosseted knowledge workers and the rest.
Take corporate life. Too often claims that businesses are committed to transparency, integrity and communication are boilerplate platitudes. Studies find no correlation between the supposed core values of companies and employees' assessment of how they reflect them. But change is afoot. In a report for the MIT Sloan Management Review, Don Sull of MIT and Charles Sull of CultureX, which advises firms, analysed workers' ratings of the culture and values of their employers. There was a jump in approval when the pandemic broke out, with especially big increases in employees' ratings for transparency and communication.
Other studies find similar results. A poll by Gallup covering the early part of the pandemic finds that the share of American employees "engaged" at work reached its highest level since data began in 2000. Another survey, by Quantum Workplace, a software firm, takes the views of thousands of people and finds that the share of "highly engaged" employees leapt during the pandemic. "Covid-19 may be the best thing that ever happened to employee engagement", argues Josh Bersin, an analyst.
One reason is that blurring the line between work and home makes it harder for firms to treat office staff as automatons. "Before the pandemic," says Monica Kang, founder of InnovatorsBox, a workplace-culture firm, "we forgot that people are people first." During it, the sight of children invading Zoom meetings or of people's laundry in the background will have softened even hard-nosed managers, prompting them to pay more attention to their staff.
Another is that remote work has forced people to communicate better. Managers cannot just hope subordinates will pick up information by osmosis, as in an office. Instead they have to work to get the message across, argues Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic of Columbia University. This can be done the old-school way: by picking up the phone. But that seems increasingly clunky. The pandemic has encouraged managers to place more trust in technology that lets workers communicate and collaborate effectively, even when out of the office. Research by Mr Bloom, Mr Davis and Yulia Zhestkova finds a big rise in the share of new patent filings for work-from-home technologies.
The idea of managers using tools to talk to and monitor workers in their own homes may be disconcerting, but it is usually legal. Yet the rise of hybrid work has other legal effects—the second consequence. Just as the rise of the gig economy makes it harder to say who is an employee and who is self-employed, so the rise of working from home tests the boundaries where employees' and employers' responsibilities begin and end. Employment law, after all, is largely based on the assumption that work takes place at an office or a factory.
It is hard to assess the legal impact of the shift to hybrid work. Analysis of American legal filings in state and federal courts finds that the number of cases mentioning "work from home" is running at twice pre-pandemic levels. A brief by lawyers in the state of New York warns that employers have done a poor job of record-keeping for home-workers during the pandemic, so "management will have difficulty defending a worker's claim that she is owed overtime pay because she worked more than 40 hours in a week". Several north-eastern states are in a legal battle over which government should have the income tax of an employee whose office is in one but who works from home in another.
Other countries are also realising the limitations of existing laws. Last year some Russian businesses exploited a loophole in the law that allowed them to cut pay for people who were no longer working in an office. And whereas the past year has shown the many benefits of working from home, for both productivity and the work-life balance, in many countries workers do not have the right to ask for it.
All this is causing many to update the rules. "In recent months, we have seen an upsurge in new laws regulating remote work [and] telework—a trend we expect to continue," says DLA Piper, a law firm. Russia has closed the pay-remote-workers-less loophole. Germany has explored the idea of giving employees the right to work remotely for a set number of days a year. Ireland is likely to follow Britain in creating a legal right to request working from home (though employers will be under no obligation to agree). France is temporarily binning a law that made it illegal for workers to eat at their desks. This was designed to prevent overwork, but seemed oddly anachronistic when the domestic and professional spheres are one and the same.
The third big consequence relates to culture and politics. Before the pandemic a growing divide was rising between the less- and the more-educated, not just in what they earned, but also in what their work meant to them. In recent years the working hours of the less-educated have continued to decline, perhaps because rising real wages make it easier to attain a satisfactory standard of living. But for the more-educated, working hours have risen. Research suggests this is because they increasingly enjoy their job. Doing work well is, for many knowledge workers, a big part of their identity and sense of self-worth.
Even before the pandemic, knowledge workers and others were drifting apart, not just economically but culturally. Now one of the few things that previously bound them together—the shared experience of getting up every day and taking a long, expensive, sweaty commute to work—is also fraying.
Good jobs tend to be those that can be done from home. The best-educated are also the most likely to be allowed to continue working for part of the week out of the office. So well-paid folk with good jobs are likely to have the flexibility to pick up children from school or run other errands. Their interactions with those with worse jobs—the "essential workers", who move about in public spaces and keep the economy going—might become, at the extreme, little more than opening the door for a delivery. It is not easy to predict the political consequences of this new cleavage, but they seem unlikely to be benign. ■

According to a new rumor that just surfaced, Meizu's CEO, Huang Zhang, will personally lead the company's 'Blue Charm' division. Earlier this year, the company announced that it's splitting into three divisions, Meizu, Blue Charm and Flyme. The first division remained in charge of the company's flagship handset, and is lead by the company's CEO, while the company's VP, Li Nan, was supposed to lead the 'Blue Charm' division, but if this new rumor is to be believed, the company's CEO will personally handle the company's 'Blue Charm' division as well.
The company's Blue Charm division is in charge of releasing entry-level and mid-range smartphones, and also accessories for the company's handsets, along with some other gadgets. This rumor claims that the company's CEO will be directly involved in the product planning and building in the Blue Charm division. It is currently not known what this means for Li Nan, as he was named the President of the Blue Charm division earlier this year. In any case, the company is expected to release a couple of smartphones in the coming months, namely the Meizu M6s and the Meizu M15 Plus, while one additional, mysterious phone leaked recently as well. The Meizu M6s had surfaced a couple of times thus far, and this is the device which will probably be released by the Blue Charm division, as one of the company's 'mBlu' devices. The Meizu M15 Plus, on the other hand, is expected to become the company's flagship smartphone, and it was already confirmed that it will be announced in the Sprint. The Meizu M15 Plus will probably ship with very thin bezels, and its design also leaked already.
Having said that, the company's Head of Global Marketing, Ard Boudeling, revealed recently that the company managed to grow 50 percent on a global scale, even if its market share dropped in China. Judging by recent reports and restructuring within the company, Meizu has big plans for next year, and it will be interesting to see if it can improve its position in the market even further, even though the competition in the smartphone market is quite fierce at the moment, especially in China and India.
