For its fourth Carte Blanche assigned to a contemporary artist, the MNAAG chose to go beyond the close environment of the Rotunda (4th floor) and show the visual artist Prune Nourry's sculptures in a poetic dialogue with the collections. Fifteen historic pieces of the museum's permanent collection share in it. Presented in a tour outlined in the folder, Prune Nourry's works offer visual analogies and semantic correspondences, inviting the visitor to participate throughout the museum in an authentic reflection on the future of mankind. Arisen from a triptych of experiences in Asia, her creations – performances, sculptures, installations – illustrate ten years of the artist's work. The tour culminates under the gaze of a monumental creation, a fragmented Buddha, in ruins, that takes over every floor of the museum.

When life is murder, who can you trust?
One minute Mia Quinn is in her basement, chatting on the phone with a colleague at the prosecutor's office. The next minute she hears a gunshot over the line, and Mia listens in horror as her colleague and friend Colleen bleeds to death.
Mia's a natural for heading up the murder investigation, but these days it's all she can do to hold her life together. As a new widow with a pile of debts, a troubled teenaged son, and a four-year-old who wakes up screaming at night, she needs more time with her family, not less—and working Colleen's case will be especially demanding.

Ada Choi attended 2019 Yoka Awards ceremony were she picked up the Best Actress Award on Monday (January 21) in Shanghai, China.
Such is the summery elegance of her Andrew Gn Pre-Fall 2018 dress, that I have had to correct myself having written Spring 2019 several times.
With that in mind, I found it most perplexing that Ada opted to wear not only over-the-knee boots, but velvet burgundy boots with this frock.
By all accounts it's a nippy 7 degree in Shanghai right now, but I wish she had found another way around this styling wise.

Sierra Wireless customizes Linux platform for machine-to-machine apps
The goal is to make it easier for enterprises to develop M2M applications
Mikael Ricknäs (IDG News Service)
Sierra Wireless has debuted the Linux-based Legato platform, which aims to simplify and accelerate the development of machine-to-machine (M2M) applications.
The M2M sector continues to mature with many operators and vendors working to make it easier for enterprises to both develop and manage applications. Sierra Wireless -- which is a pure M2M company these days -- focuses on the development with the introduction of the Legato platform at this week's Mobile World Congress.
The company has been working on Linux with OEMs for a couple of years, and Linux has been a pretty popular OS in the M2M environment, according to Larry Zibrik, vice president of market development at Sierra Wireless.
"Because of that what we are doing now is stepping forward to provide a Linux environment starting on our modules, but it can be used beyond that. The reason we are doing it is to get people to market quicker and giving them the tools to remove the complexity of wireless integration," Zibrik said.
The Legato platform is made up of three main parts. It's based on a Linux distribution from Wind River, which will also offer professional services to Legato customers, including customization, technical support and training as they try to make the most of the platform. There is also an open source application framework and an Eclipse-based development environment.
All these parts are already set up as part of the Legato platform, giving developers a head start and significantly reducing the time and cost to build their solutions, according to Sierra.
Legato is now in testing with handpicked Sierra Wireless customers and developers. The platform will be pre-integrated in modules from the company, starting with the AirPrime WP and AirPrime AR Series modules shipping later this year, it said.
At Mobile World Congress, Sierra Wireless also announced an agreement with Indian outsourcer Tech Mahindra to work together to develop and deploy end-to-end M2M solutions for enterprises around the world.
As part of the collaboration, Sierra Wireless will provide prospective joint customers embedded wireless modules or gateways and modems, as well as its hosted management platform, AirVantage M2M Cloud. Tech Mahindra will offer consulting and solutions integration services.

Volunteers needed to create cleaner waterways
Monday, 17 June 2019, 10:33 am
Press Release: Bay of Plenty Regional Council
Bay of Plenty Regional Council, in partnership with multi award-winning charity, Sustainable Coastlines, is putting the call out for local schools, businesses and volunteers to join together to create cleaner waterways and coastlines.
Working together, they will be out and about planting salt marsh and coastal shrubs in the Lower Kaituna area on the weekend of 22 and 23 June.
Regional Council have over 50,000 plants to restore salt marsh in the upper estuary this winter on land that was in rough pasture until recently.
"We're hoping for a good turn out from Maketū, Te Puke and the wider community to help us get the first of these plants into the ground," says Regional Council's Senior Projects Officer, Courtney Bell.
"We are hosting two planting days at Ford Rd, in Maketū, and we'd love your help," says Bell.
The joint riparian restoration effort will contribute to Te Awa o Ngatoroirangi / Maketū Estuary becoming healthier. It will also create 20 hectares of wetlands around the estuary margin, to help filter nutrients and create breeding areas for fish and birds.
As part of the ANZ Love Your Water Tour 2019, Sustainable Coastlines is working with hundreds of Kiwi volunteers to plant tens of thousands of native plants and trees along waterways in ten New Zealand regions.
Sam Judd, Co-Founder of Sustainable Coastlines and former Young New Zealander of the Year, is looking to the community to take up the challenge.
"Cleaning up our waterways is an immense challenge. It is an issue that affects everyone in the community." Despite the difficulty, he remains confident that it can be done.
"Planting trees next to waterways is one way that we can tackle this challenge with measurable results. The goal of this tour is to support local efforts and scale up this awesome activity."
Community Planting Days
Te Pā Ika Planting Day 1, Saturday 22 June, 10am – 1pm, Ford Road, Maketū
Te Pā Ika Planting Day 2, Sunday 23 June, 10am – 1pm, Ford Road, Maketū
All volunteers are welcome. All equipment supplied, but Health and Safety requirements mean you will need to wear gumboots or sturdy, closed-toe shoes that you don't mind getting a bit muddy. Sausage sizzle lunch provided by J Swap Contractors.

Starlink's new Dishy McFlatface is smaller and lighter, still costs $499
Comcast admits "widespread" outage as tens of thousands of users report…
Securing your digital life, the finale: Debunking worthless "security" practices
Countrysidegames.net
Home Technology Starlink's new Dishy McFlatface is smaller and lighter, still costs $499
Enlarge / The new version of Dishy McFlatface.
Starlink has replaced its user terminal with a new model that's smaller and cheaper to produce, and the company updated the Wi-Fi router that ships in hardware kits sent to new subscribers. The $499 price that new Starlink users must pay for hardware is unchanged.
Enlarge / New versions of the Starlink dish and router.
The rectangular satellite dish that will be sent to new users is 19×12 inches, compared to the original circular dish's diameter of 23.2 inches. The dish's weight is 9.2 lbs, down from the original's 16 lbs. The operating temperature range of -22°F to +122°F (-30°C to +50°C) is unchanged, so the thermal shutdowns that have affected some users of the original "Dishy McFlatface" satellite dish could continue to be a problem.
The Federal Communications Commission approved Starlink's new user terminals on Wednesday. The main differences between the old and new equipment are described in the specifications section of a support FAQ.
There are some additional mounting options for the new satellite dish, including wall mounts that come in two different sizes and are "designed for installation on an exterior wall near the top of the gable." You can see mounting options for the new user terminal in this document and mounting options for the previous terminal here. Each user terminal comes with a base for ground-level installation, while mounting hardware is sold separately.
Another view of the new Starlink dish.
New Wi-Fi router lacks Ethernet port
The updated hardware kit's Wi-Fi router uses 3×3 MU-MIMO instead of the previous 2×2 MU-MIMO, so it can transmit in three spatial streams instead of two. There is one downgrade in the new router, as it doesn't have an Ethernet port like the original did. Starlink's website notes that users can buy an Ethernet adapter in the Starlink shop.
"To connect a 3rd party router or mesh system, you will need to purchase the Ethernet Adapter from the Starlink Shop to allow for a wired connection to the network. Bypass functionality is coming soon, and we are actively working on development of a Starlink mesh product," the website says.
The original Wi-Fi router supported operating temperatures of +32°F to +86°F (0°C to +30°C) while the new one supports a wider range of -22°F to +122°F (-30°C to +50°C), according to the support FAQ. The new router also has an IP54 dust- and water-resistance rating, the same rating listed for both the old and new satellite dishes. These changes suggest that this new version of the router could be used outdoors, but the FAQ says the router is still "configured for indoor use."
Both the old and new routers support 802.11a/b/g/n/ac standards and operate on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. Here's a screenshot from the FAQ showing differences between the old and new dishes and routers:
The $499 up-front price could eventually come down, but there's no word on when that might happen. SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said in June that the company is losing money on each Starlink user terminal because they cost more than $1,000 to produce. "We are working on next-generation terminals that provide the same level of capability, roughly the same level of capability, but cost a lot less… Over time, we'd like to reduce the terminal cost from $500 to, I don't know, $300 or $250, or something like that," Musk said.
SpaceX recently warned that the global chip shortage is impacting "our ability to fulfill" orders. There was also a strange occurrence in which customers had shipment dates delayed by a year or more when they made tiny changes to their service locations using a map tool on the Starlink website. Starlink later said that "if you move to a new location, your place in the queue at the new location will still be based off of your initial order date."

Azelis has extended its agreement with Agrana Starch (Agrana) in France and Italy to distribute Agrana's starches for natural and nature-inspired sensory effects in personal care. This complements not only the companies' existing agreement in a number of other European countries, but also the market demand for plant-derived solutions.
Corn, rice and tapioca starches offer a simple and natural way to improve the texture, aesthetics and skin feel properties of most cosmetic products. Agrana offers both natural and modified starches, as well as organic starch for use in products including emulsions, surfactants, aerosols and loose and pressed powders.
"Agrana's product offering includes starches specifically targeting the unique needs of cosmetics, affording the producer a wide degree of interesting possibilities in formulation," said Anton Amon, sales director personal care, Agrana Starch. "Not only are they easy to use, the products address the consumer's [need for a] natural way to improve sensory properties."
A new report from Grand View Research concurs, showing the global natural and organic personal care market will continue its upward trend to reach US $25.11 billion by 2025, expanding at a an impressive CAGR of 9.5% between 2018 and 2025. In addition, the firm cites improvements in plant and animal extracts as drivers behind these increasing expenditures; along with regulations, which have encouraged consumer use of organic materials.

Global Issue
Israel Scraps Its Redundant Vaxx Passports
By London Times
o farewell, then, to Israel's vaccine passport, the green pass. Less than three months after coming into effect, the Covid vaccination certification scheme was scrapped today, along with almost all of the remaining Covid-19 restrictions in public places.
Israel was the first country to introduce a vaccine passport back in March. Cafes, bars, restaurants, gyms and plays were Sallowed to reopen to the public after months of lockdown, provided they only admitted vaccinated (and recovered) people. The pass took the form of a QR code downloaded from the health ministry or stored in a phone app.
The scheme was vocally opposed by a small and passionate minority, but most Israelis were just relieved to be able to return to something approaching normality. Restaurateurs and gym owners, meanwhile, were happy they could finally reopen, even if they were sometimes frustrated by the restrictions the green pass imposed. In particular, venues were effectively banned from admitting children, who aren't eligible for vaccination — fine for bars, terrible for cinemas and ice cream parlours.
In reality, though, cafes were full of kids as the green pass was widely ignored. In the last three months, I was only asked to show my pass twice. A few times I was asked if I had one, but taken at my word without needing to show the 'paperwork'. Most often, I wasn't challenged at all. Enforcement of the green pass rules was close to non-existent; as long as coronavirus cases kept falling, nobody was very bothered.
And cases did continue plummeting. On Sunday, just four new cases were recorded out of 21,000 tests, a tiny 0.02 per cent. Only 94 Israelis are in hospital with Covid-19 currently — and deaths have almost stopped entirely. There have been cases of the South African and Indian variants, but they haven't taken take-off. Perhaps Israel has reached something close to herd immunity, with 90 per cent of the adult population either vaccinated or recovered.
Things aren't completely back to normal, though. Israel is still requiring indoor masking in public places like shops. This too is under review and might be scrapped in mid-June. The country is also maintaining its tight border restrictions. At present, Israel remains closed to tourism, one of its biggest industries, except for a few small organised (and vaccinated) groups.
The UK government was looking to Israel's green pass as a model for its own vaccination certificate scheme. Those plans seem to be on hold now Israel has abolished it, according to reports. So was the green pass, discussed worldwide as a model for exiting lockdown, a massive waste of time and energy?
I'm not so sure. Certainly, in Israel it seemed to help encourage younger adults to get the jab, knowing that it meant they'd be able to go out on the town again. It also allowed a lot of re-openings in early March, even though case numbers were still very high. Perhaps those cafes would have reopened within a few weeks anyway, but the extra income helped those businesses a lot.
But Israel didn't launch the green pass until vaccinations had been open to all for a month, so younger people weren't excluded from its benefits. Britain's vaccination programme had one of the strongest starts in the world, but has slowed down dramatically since March (Canada is about to catch up, for instance). Can British pubs really ban everyone under-30 when things are scheduled to fully reopen in a few weeks?
Israel's green pass was also only obtainable a week after the second vaccine dose. The UK's delayed-dose strategy means that's still less than half of all adults. Most importantly, though, Israel used the green pass as a route out of lockdown. Places that needed one were closed up until the scheme was launched. Nobody felt they were losing anything; the green pass gave new privileges, it didn't take anything away.
In Britain, pubs, cafes and restaurants have already reopened — and that pretty much ruled them out of the UK's vaccine passport plans. A vaccine passport whose only benefit is being able to go to big events hardly seems worth the effort. So it's hard to say if Israel's green pass was a successful tool or a pointless waste. It's probably somewhere in-between.
But one thing we know for sure now: the scaremongers who said that vaccine certificates would be some lasting form of social control were wrong. They were always supposed to be used in the short term, and they proved to be much more temporary than anyone expected.

Migrations, climate change, the increased vulnerability of Africa… From the One Planet Summit to African Climate Week, this week's development press review questions the central role of the African continent in facing global issues.
Migration crisis: is the end near?
"The times of crisis […] are behind us", said Migration Commissioner Dimitris Avramopoulos. Despite the decrease in arrivals since 2017, immigration remains a major European concern.
Droughts, flooding… In 2018, over 60% of new registered internal displacements were associated to climate change, according to the World Meteorological Organization's latest data on the impacts of accelerating climate change.
Climate is where the gulf between global rich and poor is most blatant. University of Essex Lecturer Nicholas Beuret argues that, in a world where the richest 10% produce five times the emissions of the poorest 50%, a solution to reduce carbon emissions could be "eating the rich".
Climate and development go hand in hand. This is a fact for the delegates attending Africa Climate Week in Accra. For them, convincing climate investors to increase finance flows towards Africa is key.
Cyclone Idai reached the African coast the day the One Planet Summit was launched in Nairobi. Hundreds of people died in Mozambique, Malawi and Zimbabwe. Landry Ninteretse analyses this new reminder of the destructive power of climate change.
Only 4% of global carbon emissions come from Africa, yet 65% of Africans are directly affected by climate change. The new promises of green financing made during the One Planet Summit in Nairobi cannot remain unkept.

About Wesley
McCann's research focuses on criminal justice and national security policy, criminal law and procedure, and criminal courts. Specifically, McCann's research focuses on law and policy, terrorism and bias-motivated crimes (e.g. extremism), and immigration. Overarching themes in McCann's writings include the problem with defining and responding to 'terrorism', how our criminal justice and national security policy is often counter-productive to counter-terrorism efforts, how culture influences attitudes towards immigrants, and how the securitization of immigration and expansion of national security policy has come at enormous cost.

"It was still so hard to admit that I wanted to win, because I was scared of failure. I was so scared to say I want to win the CrossFit Games and I don't do it. It's just a horrible feeling. It makes you very vulnerable." – Tia-Clair Toomey
At 23 years of age, Tia-Clair Toomey (Tia) is quite the accomplished athlete. Hailing from the Sunshine Coast of Queensland, Australia, Tia burst on the CrossFit Games scene earning the title of 2nd Fittest Woman on Earth in both 2015 and 2016. She also quickly established herself as one of Australia's best Olympic Weightlifters, earning the country's only female weightlifting spot to the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics. This also makes her the only athlete to compete in both the CrossFit Games and the Olympics in the same year. She currently resides in Gladstone, Queensland, Australia where she owns and runs CrossFit Gladstone alongside her coach and fiancé, Shane Orr. We caught up recently at Chris Hinshaw's annual training camp in Cookeville, TN to discuss her background and the whirlwind that has been the past few years of her life.

"Every time in my life, every time I have taken a risk – a big risk that wouldn't make any sense for what you would do if you wanted to go and be the CEO of a big company – every time I had done that, it paid off. It ended up being immensely helpful." – Dick Costolo
Dick is currently the CEO of Chorus, a digital platform that is coming soon to re-imagine the path to personal fitness. He served previously as CEO of Twitter from 2010-2015, during which time the company grew from roughly 300 to 4,000 employees and revenue grew from nothing to $2B per year. Before his time at Twitter, Dick was CEO of FeedBurner which sold to Google in June of 2007. He was also an advisor on Season 3 of HBO's Silicon Valley. Today, Dick lives with his family in Marin, California. We caught up for a quick workout at CrossFit Marin before sitting down to record this podcast.

"This is why I love fitness and health. It does not live in the gym. What we do, what we take on mentally in a workout that scares us translates in our lives. It translates in our courage out there." – Jen Widerstrom
Jen grew up outside of Chicago and competed in gymnastics growing up. She then transitioned to track and field and competed in throws for the University of Kansas. From there, she started fitness modeling and eventually fell in love with training others. She appeared on American Gladiators in 2008 and she has been a trainer on NBC's The Biggest Loser since 2015. She's also been doing CrossFit since 2012 and made appearances on the CrossFit Horsepower Regional team in 2013 and 2014. We caught up for a workout at CrossFit Horsepower while I was in town recently and although this was only the second time I've been around Jen in person, she is incredibly down to earth, genuine and easy to get to know as I'm sure you'll hear in this episode.

"You can't really start making strides forward until you start telling yourself that maybe [having Type 1 Diabetes] makes you stronger, or maybe you wouldn't be the person you are [without it]. Looking back on 13 years of diabetes, I don't think I would be physically where I am, or mentally where I am if I wasn't diagnosed. So, in a weird roundabout way, I appreciate the fact that I got it." – Brendan Synder
When Brendan was 11 years old, he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. From trying to live like a regular teenager, to balancing Type 1 while playing college rugby, and his current pursuit of qualifying for the CrossFit Games regionals, Brendan provides a snapshot into the challenges of daily life and training with Type 1 Diabetes. Brendan received his BSN from Keene State College where he was also the captain of the rugby team. Brendan began his CrossFit journey at Feral Fitness in Saratoga Spring, NY. He currently lives in Memphis, TN where he works as an RN on the medical specialty unit at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital and trains at CrossFit Hit and Run.

Really to find what you are passionate about, what your purpose is and going after it." – Dan Bailey
Dan Bailey is a 5-time CrossFit Games competitor, never finishing outside the top 10 at the Games, finishing 4th at the 2015 CrossFit Games and 7th at the 2016 California Regionals.

Open another Calendar – Got an idea?
I have two different calendars, both of which I could see on one calendar interface. Seems like I am not able to select the second calendar in the new interface.

ATLANTA (June 23, 2010) - John Portman & Associates is pleased to announce that Riverwood 100, an office building the firm designed in 1971, has earned LEED certification. PORTMAN designs have always endeavored to enhance the human experience. Riverwood 100 demonstrates how designing a memorable experience can contribute to the creation of a sustainable building. Design features include the incorporation of natural light throughout the building, an energy efficient exterior wall, and a fully landscaped green roof over covered parking cleverly recessed into an existing ravine beneath the building. While minimizing the footprint of the combined buildings to preserve the natural beauty of the site, the recessed structure also provides natural ventilation for the parking deck. We were gratified last week when Fifth Street Management Company, LLC, the building's property manager, announced that the Atlanta-area office tower has been awarded LEED certification.
What makes LEED certification for this twenty-one-year-old building so significant? Most developers want to build and sell as quickly as possible, take the profit and move on to the next project. But, Riverwood 100 was not approached that way. It was state-of-the-art for its time, smartly designed for the long-term, with an owner's sensibility to be energy efficient and economical to operate and maintain. Many of the advanced features incorporated into the building's design and operating systems are common practice today. It clearly underscores PORTMAN's forward-thinking approach to both development and design. We salute Fifth Street Management Company for taking the next step by instituting green initiatives and employing sustainable strategies to earn LEED certification.


Brendan Phelan, rock star, is playing the Apollo, Hammersmith. The stage show includes guns and whips: as it reaches its climax a shot rings out.
The body of Oliver Joplin, one of the road crew, lies lifeless outside the stage door. DI Angela Costello and her team investigate, but they quickly discover that several stage hands, and Phelan himself, are adept with firearms - and that Joplin was widely disliked and distrusted. So why had Phelan kept him on, despite the reservations of his crew? Joplin's emails reveal the presence of a shadowy figure stalking the dead man. Who might profit from Joplin's death? Little by little Angela unpicks the web of lies. But unless one person opens up, she can't crack the case. And that is not going to happen.

Q: SQL Server 2008: How to use SQL to output XML from Query? I would like to declare a variable 'XMLOutput' and have it produce the contents of a table in XML format.  If you could provide a really simple example I could work off of I would really appreciate it.  I tried using the xmlelement() but could not get it to work.

A: SQL Server provides the ability to generate XML based on table structure via the FOR XML clause.  It's options are:

*

*RAW

*AUTO

*PATH

*EXPLICIT

There are examples for each in the link.

A: Try using
FOR XML RAW

In the end of your query. This will return results as XML. Does that do what you want ? If not, I think you might need to elaborate your question a bit further. You could also have a look at the documentation, to see what options you have with FOR XML.

A few months back I found myself incredibly dismayed by the release of visitor arrival statistics because of the lack of distinction between which visitors were here for business and which were here for pleasure.
It was quite a surprise to open this morning's Royal Gazette to see that these statistics have now been released as they will enable me to paint a much more detailed picture of the state of our tourism industry.
Quite helpfully, the Ministry of Tourism has accepted my request for access to the original statistics so hopefully I'll be able to cover things more extensively.
What factors are contributing to the decline in pleasure visitors?
What factors are driving the increase in business visitors?
How much is spent by pleasure visitors in comparison to business visitors?
How has hotel room availability impacted the overall picture?
Are we witnessing a case where business and pleasure visitors are competing for accommodation?
How will the continued weakening of the US economy affect our overall tourism picture and are we seeing a comparative rise in visitors from other jurisdictions?
What likely impacts have discount airlines had?
The Caribbean Tourism Organization was correct,the figures are showing there is a 15% drop in fly-in tourists, after you subtract the business travelers.
All those millions (approx. $270M) spent by the PLP on Tourism and the numbers prove that most of the millions were wasted.

APC wins Ekiti House of Assembly supplementary election
By Rotimi Ojomoyela
Ado – Ekiti-The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has declared Hon.Adegbuyi Oluwajuwa of the All Progressive Congress, as the winner of the Ekiti East Constituency 1, State House of Assembly election.
An All Progressives Congress Party (APC) supporter waves a party flag while celebrating initial results released by the Nigerian Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Kano, on February 25, 2019, two days after general elections. – Nigeria's main opposition on February 25 accused the ruling party of trying to rig presidential elections, as the incumbent made early gains but monitors voiced concern about polling day problems, including dozens of deaths. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of President Muhammadu Buhari of colluding with the electoral commission in an attempt to "manipulate the results". (Photo AFP)
According to the INEC Constituency Returning Officer for the election, Dr Chika Asokwa, "at the completion of the supplementary elections, Oluwajuwa polled 5, 484 to defeat his opponent from the PDP who polled 3,258 votes".
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared elections of Saturday 9th March in the five units of the constituency as inconclusive, having been allegedly characterized by violence.
Affected areas where the election was held were four polling units, namely Ward 9 Polling Unit 3 Aya Alaafe; Ward 9 Polling Unit 8, Odo oro; Ward 9 Polling Unit 9, Odo-ile and Ward 6 Polling Unit 3, Ekurugbe.
The supplementary election was majorly between MrJuwa Adegbuyi of the ruling APC, and the current occupier of the seat and candidate of the opposition PDP, Mr Ojo-Ade Fajana.

Q: Create directory through C# using WinSCP on SFTP server We are writing a console application in C# to upload files, through WinSCP .NET assembly using SFTP protocol, to the file server. I am able to connect to the server and place files to the server but not at the exact place I want. Please find the code as below:
where
path = \Repository\Scan\Java\ant\UAT
zippath = C:\Temp\UAT_17-11-2016-19_40_05.zip
sftppath = \Repository\Scan\Java\ant\UAT\UAT_17-11-2016-19_40_05.zip

ZIP file is getting placed at Repository folder level with name as RepositoryScanJavaantUATUAT_17-11-2016-19_40_05.zip. If the directories don't exist on the server they are not getting created.
using (Session session = new Session())
{
    session.Open(sessionOptions);
    {
        if (System.IO.Directory.Exists(path))
        {
            Console.WriteLine("That path exists already.");
        }
        else
        {
            DirectoryInfo di = System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(path);
            Console.WriteLine(
                "The directory was created successfully at {0}.",
                System.IO.Directory.GetCreationTime(path));
        }

        try
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Put Files in the folder");
            TransferOptions transferOptions = new TransferOptions();
            transferOptions.TransferMode = TransferMode.Binary;
            TransferOperationResult transferResult;
            transferResult = session.PutFiles(zippath, sftppath, false, transferOptions);
            transferResult.Check();
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("The process failed: {0}", e.ToString());
        }
    }
}

A: *

*You cannot use the System.IO.Directory.Exists to check an existence of SFTP directory, nor you can use the System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory to create a directory on the SFTP server. Use the WinSCP Session.FileExists and Session.CreateDirectory methods:
if (session.FileExists(path))
{
    Console.WriteLine("That path exists already.");
}
else
{
    session.CreateDirectory(path);
    Console.WriteLine("The directory was created successfully");
}

*SFTP paths use a slash, not a backslash:
path = /Repository/Scan/Java/ant/UAT
sftppath = /Repository/Scan/Java/ant/UAT/UAT_17-11-2016-19_40_05.zip


Many people are overly wary or eager to start the bankruptcy process because of misinformation. Bankruptcy laws are complex, and understanding your situation is the first step in determining if bankruptcy is right for you. Here are the most common myths you may struggle with before you make the decision to file.
MYTH: Anyone who files for bankruptcy is irresponsible.
REALITY: Many factors play into the reasons someone files for bankruptcy. Money management is only one reason. Individuals may also file for bankruptcy after a divorce, a serious illness, or after a serious job loss or change. Knowing when to file for bankruptcy can be a smart decision for some individuals who need to discharge debt without putting a retirement account or other assets at risk.
MYTH: You can spend a ton of money right before filing and then avoid paying the debt.
REALITY: Please do not view your bankruptcy as an excuse to max out your credit cards. In many instances, the courts will view this kind of financial activity as fraud. You will have to pay back the debt, and you may also face criminal charges. Tell your bankruptcy attorney everything about your case, and avoid changing your spending habits prior to filing.
MYTH: Bankruptcy ruins credit over the long term.
REALITY: Bankruptcy can damage your credit in the short term, but many individuals receive offers for secured credit cards in as little as a few months after filing. The idea that your credit will suffer for a decade or more is a complete myth. Within a couple of years, you can earn a high credit score and secure credit for large purchases, including a home. If you need to file for bankruptcy, do it.
MYTH: Bankruptcy wipes the slate clean and solves all financial problems.
REALITY: Bankruptcy is not easy, and it may not always result in complete debt discharge. Both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 filings offer benefits, but you need a strong strategy to secure the best possible outcome. Without the right assistance, you may still lose certain assets and have the responsibility of paying back some debt. Hiring an experienced bankruptcy attorney will improve your ability to discharge debt and get back on your feet.
MYTH: You can't file alone if you're married or in a domestic partnership.
REALITY: Individuals have the option to file for a joint bankruptcy, but they can also file alone. Doing so will keep your spouse's credit score and assets safe. Your spouse may need to disclose financial information. California recognizes community property after a marriage or union, and certain assets may be subject to the bankruptcy proceedings. Your attorney can help you determine the right approach to filing for bankruptcy, particularly if you want to protect your spouse and certain assets from the proceedings.
MYTH: Filing for bankruptcy can prevent you from securing a job.
REALITY: A bankruptcy filing, in itself, will not prevent you from finding a job. Successfully filing for bankruptcy and getting your financial affairs in order may actually improve your job prospects. Debt, collection actions such as wage garnishments, and lawsuits against you, on the other hand, can prevent you from securing gainful employment.
MYTH: You can't file for bankruptcy if you make a lot of money.
REALITY: Anyone can file for bankruptcy, regardless of income. To determine bankruptcy eligibility, the courts will look at your complete financial situation, including your ability to pay for allowable living expenses and to service your debt. If you cannot reasonably afford to pay your debt, bankruptcy may make sense.
To learn more about bankruptcy and your situation, reach out to the Boyd Law bankruptcy attorneys in Sacramento.

Yes, that dewy fish-like flower is a tulip I found in my neighbours' garden.
That's fantastic! My wife LOVES tulips, but unfortunately none of ours bloomed this year. We've had such crazy weather. Need to get out and tend to the garden and hopefully bring them back.
Those photos are stunning! I hope you are making lots of money with your photography! You should be!
I don't make any money… but thank you for your kind comment.
Spring beauty indeed. Love the water droplets.
Fantastic sequence of spring shots. I enjoy seeing the raindrops on the flowers very much.
This is a beautiful tribute to Spring. I like the water drops you've captured on the flowers and buds.
Excellent flowers, beautiful light, color and texture, have become pure poetry, delicious photos.
God thanks for lovely beautiful colorful nature and thanks to you for sharing.
Spring is a wonderful time of year, but it can be rather showery.
Just loving your shots of spring flowers…wonderful photography!

What is that blue flower? It's so cool!
I'm not sure. I spotted it in the neighbours' garden. It might be a hyacinth?
Beautiful, especially the tulip with water drops.
Thank you for your drenched spring flowers. Although we are in autumn, this year the seasons are standing on their head and we already have spring flowers although we have not yet had winter. My crab-apples even flowers this autumn. Everything became confused because of the rain and temperature drop.
That's a serious blue you have happening there!
Your photos are REALLY beautiful. So glad you share them big.
I like the petaled fish reference.
Wow vad härliga bilder !!!

What wonderful macros! Just gorgeous! I see you are with Red Bubble! I ordered some cards of photos of another blogger friend and they were very professional and got to me fast! Loved them! I'll check yours out too!
Love these cheerful macro shots! I think my favorite is the thistle.
Oh, so it's spring in your place. I love the colors of spring and how you presented them in your photographs. It is summer in my side of the world and we don't have spring here. So I am absolutely enjoying experiencing spring through your photos.
That's impressive shots and colors of flowers! The verses are so meaningful and right at the point of time. Enjoyed it!
Joyful Spring in all it's perfection.

English Language & Usage Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for linguists, etymologists, and serious English language enthusiasts. Join them; it only takes a minute:
When did the U.S. President become "Mr. X" instead of "President X"?
When I was much younger, I remember the press always referred to the U.S. president using the title of the office: "President Nixon" was followed by "President Ford" then "President Carter".
Now that seems to have fallen out of favor and the common reference is: "Mr. Obama".
My question is: when and why did that change happen? Was it associated with a particular president?

Is this in the US only? In the UK he is certainly referred to as either the US President Obama, or far less formally as Barack Obama. I haven't seen a Mr. Obama in any media. – Rory Alsop Jul 8 '11 at 13:20
I was taught (UK education) that the President even retains his honorific once he has left the post, so Bill Clinton should always formally be addressed as Mr President. If this is the case, I find it strange that the media would refer to President Obama as Mr. Do you have a link to a media outlet who referred to him this way? – Andy F Jul 8 '11 at 13:26
One example is thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/07/08/… almost halfway down. I have heard it a lot on the radio. – jimreed Jul 8 '11 at 13:53
Is this not about protocol, etiquette, or culture, sociology, or at least, socio-linguistics? Has it in anyway to do much with the English language? Why punish an innocent victim? – Kris Mar 5 '14 at 6:19
I don't understand the up votes to this Q. on ELU. – Kris Mar 5 '14 at 6:20
Many media outlets in the USA refer to the President as "President X" on first reference and thereafter as "Mr. X".
National Public Radio has this policy:
Although many listeners find this second reference offensive, it is not a new policy. NPR has used "Mr." since the mid-1970s when President Gerald Ford was in office. The president is the only person whom NPR routinely refers to with the Mr. honorific on second reference. If NPR does a story, say on James Hamilton, an Ohio car dealer, he will be Hamilton on second reference, not Mr. Hamilton.
It appears this is the policy of the New York Times, as well: here's a September 18, 1851 New York Times article (PDF) that refers to President Fillmore as Mr. Fillmore on 2nd reference, and a July 6, 2011 New York Times article that does the same with President Obama.

I wonder how this worked with Taft? "Chief Justice President?" – Kit Z. Fox♦ Jul 8 '11 at 16:33
The New York Times refers to everybody as "Mr. X" (or "Ms. X", "Mrs. X", etc.), with few exceptions. This is their own preferred style and not particularly representative of common usage. – Nate Eldredge Apr 17 '12 at 12:24
@NateEldredge except for the sports section. – phoog Apr 29 '12 at 4:54
@phoog: Indeed, that's one of the exceptions. Another is "fanciful" names: I think their editor's blog once mentioned that they would not refer to Meat Loaf as "Mr. Loaf". – Nate Eldredge Apr 29 '12 at 17:12
It may be policy and it may be the way it is, but I don't like it. I think President Bush (either one) is an arse biscuit, but I'm still going to call him President Bush and not Mr. Bush. – mikeY Aug 6 '13 at 19:05
The Corpus of Historical American English gives 62 hits for "Mr Roosevelt" between 1901 and 1910. A couple of those might be before he became president, and a few may concern other Roosevelts. But I am confident that the majority relate to President Roosevelt. There are 488 citations of "President Roosevelt" in the same period.
In the 1930's and 40's the corresponding figures are 7 and 5 for "Mr Roosevelt" and 1457, 1165 for "President Roosevelt".
This suggests to me that the trend you observe is actually returning to an older custom.

I can only confirm that this is US-specific. In France, nobody would ever say "Mr. Obama" (nor « Monsieur Obama »). Apparently, the UK calls him the same way as in France.
On a related note, while former French presidents were always called by their full name, (eg, « Jacques Chirac »), there was a change with the last President, which we call « Sarkozy », without his first name, even in the news.

Maybe you will refer to your president by his initials only one day. DSK? – b.roth Jul 8 '11 at 14:47
Practice has varied greatly. Often, it's "President X" for the first mention, and "Mr. X" thereafter. Style guides sometimes disagree with each other.
It was often "General Washington" even when he was President, and afterwards - also true of Grant and Eisenhower.
It was Washington who requested "Mr. President" as the formal way of addressing him, specifically rejecting "Your Excellency" as contrary to the spirit of the Constitution. The practice continues. (the document itself is silent on forms of address)
NotThePrezNotThePrez
I believe this is also a change in US media practice in the last 20 years, though it may be a return to an older form and style. I, too, recall Richard Nixon always being President Nixon and never Mr. Nixon, for example.
