Luis III Gonzaga (Ludovico III Gonzaga, también llamado Lodovico) apodado el Turco (5 de junio de 1412 - Goito, 11 de junio de 1478) fue el Segundo Marqués de Mantua, desde 1444 hasta su muerte en 1478. Fue el más destacado exponente de la familia y Mantua se convirtió en una de las capitales del Renacimiento italiano.

Biografía
Luis era hijo de Gianfrancesco Gonzaga y Paola Malatesta, y fue educado en Ca' Zoiosa por el humanista Vittorino da Feltre. Sucedió a su padre en el gobierno de Mantua en el 1444.

Luis siguió las directrices de su padre, Gianfrancesco, combatiendo como condottiero para la familia Visconti al lado de Milán en el año 1446, pero al año siguiente pasó al servicio de la República de Venecia, en la liga formada con la República de Florencia contra Milán. En 1450 le fue concedido dirigir un ejército para el rey Alfonso V de Aragón en Lombardía, con el propósito principal de conquistar territorios para sí mismo. Pero Francisco Sforza, el nuevo duque de Milán, lo atrajo con la promesa de Lonato, Peschiera y Asola, antiguos territorios mantovanos en posesión de Venecia. Esta última replicó saqueando Castiglione delle Stiviere y atrayendo a su lado al hermano de Luis, Carlos.

El 14 de junio de 1453, Luis vence en batalla a las tropas de Carlos en Goito, pero las tropas venecianas bajo la guía de Niccolò Piccinino impidieron cualquier intento de reconquistar Asola. La Paz de Lodi (1454) obligó a Luis a restituir todos los territorios conquistados y a renunciar definitivamente a las tres ciudades. Recibe, en cambio, las tierras de su hermano a la muerte de éste sin hijos en 1478.

El momento de máximo prestigio de Mantua fue el Concilio de Mantua, celebrado en la ciudad desde el 27 de mayo de 1459 hasta el 19 de enero de 1460, convocado por el papa Pío II para lanzar una cruzada contra los otomanos, que habían conquistado Constantinopla unos años antes. Como recompensa Luis recibió del papa el honor de la Rosa de Oro y su hijo Francesco se convirtió en cardenal.

En 1460 Luis nombró a Andrea Mantegna artista de corte de la familia Gonzaga, quien se encargó de pintar en el castillo
la famosa Cámara de los esposos; y llamó a Mantua a arquitectos del renombre de Luca Fancelli y Leon Battista Alberti, este último en la ciudad desde 1459, donde comenzó la construcción de las iglesias de San Sebastián y de San Andrés.

También fue construido por Luca Fancelli entre 1447 y 1478 en Revere el Palacio Ducal, una hermosa residencia. En 1450 construyó en Volta Mantuana, pueblo fortificado, una residencia de verano, el Palacio Gonzaga-Guerrieri, con jardines a la italiana.

En 1466, tras la muerte de su hermano Alejandro, heredó sus posesiones, que incluyó Castel Goffredo, entonces feudo autónomo y Castiglione delle Stiviere. El refuerzo de las fortificaciones estuvo a cargo de un experto, el arquitecto Giovanni de Padua.

A partir de 1466 estuvo más o menos de manera constante al servicio de los Sforza de Milán. Vanos fueron los intentos de emparentar con los duques milaneses; a pesar de los acuerdos para las bodas entre el primogénito de la casa Sforza, Galeazo María, con una de las hijas de Luis, este matrimonio no se celebró, a causa de las deformaciones hereditarias que se desarrollaron primero en Susana (que después se retiró a la vida eclesiástica) y después en Dorotea (que a causa de sus males murió a los 18 años de edad), que fueron designadas sucesivamente como prometidas de Gian Galeazzo. Este episodio representa una de las páginas más amargas y dolorosas de la historia de la familia Gonzaga.

Luis III también estuvo a cargo de la asistencia pública a la ciudad, por lo que encargó al arquitecto Luca Fancelli, la construcción del Hospital Grande de San Leonardo, que fue terminado en 1470. Entre 1470 y 1477 Fancelli construyó para el marqués la casa Ghirardina en Motteggiana, uno de los ejemplos más significativos de la arquitectura de principios del Renacimiento mantuano.

En 1474 recibió de manos del rey Cristián I de Dinamarca el nombramiento de caballero de la Orden del Elefante.

Luis murió en Goito en el año 1478, durante una epidemia de peste. Fue sepultado en la Catedral de Mantua.

Matrimonio y descendencia
Se casó el 12 de noviembre de 1433, con Bárbara de Brandeburgo, sobrina del emperador Segismundo de Luxemburgo.

La pareja tuvo los siguientes hijos:
 Federico (Mantua 25 de junio 1441, Mantua, 14 de julio de 1484), se casó con Margarita de Baviera y fue el padre de Francisco II Gonzaga, esposo de Isabel de Este;
 Gianfrancesco (1443 - Bozzolo, 28 de agosto de 1496), Conde de Sabbioneta y Señor de Bozzolo, se casó con Antonia del Balzo;
 Francisco (1444 - Porretta 22 de octubre de 1483), cardenal en 1461;
 Susana (1447, Mantua, 19 de diciembre de 1481), monja de la iglesia de Santa Clara, en Mantua;
 Dorotea (Mantua, 1449 - Pavía, 21 de abril de 1467), casada con Galeazzo Maria Sforza;
 Cecilia (1451 - 1474), monja en Mantua;
 Rodolfo (18 de abril de 1452 - Fornovo, 6 de julio de 1495), Señor de Castiglione delle Stiviere, Castel Goffredo, Solferino, Suzzara y Poviglio, que se casó primero con Antonia Malatesta, hija de Segismundo Pandolfo Malatesta y Catalina Pico, hija de Juan Francisco della Mirandola;
 Bárbara (Mantua 11 de diciembre de 1455 - Böblingen, 31 de mayo de 1503), que se casó con Everardo V de Wurtemberg;
 Ludovico (1458 - Reggiolo, 4 de enero de 1511), obispo de Mantua;
 Paola (1464 - 1495), se casó con Leonardo de Gorizia.

Army Private Irving Greenwald's diary initially seems to be mostly fact-based, without a lot of extraneous emotional content. However, his entries quickly become jam-packed with rich historical details, and contain deeply poignant passages that convey the enormity of his experiences in a few concise sentences. A member of the "Lost Battalion," Greenwald was wounded in the Battle of the Argonne Forest, and his diary falls silent for just under a month. But he soon returned to writing, documenting his recovery and eventual return to the United States.

De punttandvleerhond (Pteralopex atrata) is een vleermuis uit het geslacht der apenkopvleermuizen (Pteralopex) die voorkomt op Guadalcanal en New Georgia in de Salomonseilanden. De populatie op New Georgia is slechts van één schedel bekend; het is mogelijk dat de bijbehorende huid van dat dier zal aangeven dat het om een aparte soort gaat. De nauwste verwant van de punttandvleerhond is Pteralopex flanneryi uit Buka, Bougainville, Choiseul en Santa Isabel. Dit dier eet fruit.

De punttandvleerhond is een middelgrote vleerhond met een zwarte, meestal korte vacht. De voorarm en het scheenbeen zijn naakt. De kop-romplengte bedraagt 196 tot 237 mm, de voorarmlengte 129 tot 147 mm, de oorlengte 15 tot 20 mm en het gewicht 438 tot 506 g.

Greg Dulli Debuts First Solo Release 'Random Desire,' Talks New Music From The Afghan Whigs
Music	by Tina Eves July 27, 2020
Greg Dulli just returned from Joshua Tree the night before. A regular retreat, the two-hour drive from his Los Angeles home resets him for the project at hand. At the moment, the project is recording new material for The Afghan Whigs.
Joshua Tree, specifically Christopher Thorn's Fireside Studio, is Dulli's destination of choice. He has his system down pat. Even during the COVID-19 lockdown, he's managed to return to recording—albeit in a bubble. At home, he works out with a trainer on his patio three times a week. He plays golf three times a week. He even does FaceTime yoga three times a week. Dulli is a methodical man. And there's a method to his madness, even following the release of his solo debut Random Desire (Royal Cream/BMG), his first in a nearly 30-plus-year career.
Faced with the inability to tour around the album following the shutdown, Dulli was determined to at least play some of the songs live before moving on to new music and is set to perform two live-streamed shows from Gold-Diggers, a Los Angeles bar, hotel, and recording studio, on August 1st.
"I've made 16 albums, and this the first time I've made a record and not toured it," says Dulli of the recent self-isolation and being off the road. "It's odd, but hey I'm honestly kind of a loner anyway. I live with two cats."
Prior to the lockdown, Dulli was set to tour along with The Twilight Singers' and The Afghan Whigs' guitarists Jon Skibic and Rick Nelson, and drummer Trey Bourgeois this spring.
"I finished the record and I went to Europe on vacation, then I came back—and went back to Europe again in December to do a press tour," says Dulli. "When I came back, my friends in Europe were calling me in early February and telling me about what was going on, so I kind of saw it coming pretty early. There was no way we weren't all going to experience this. If you ever saw the movie Contagion, it's really not far off."
Burning through an epitome of something illicit, Random Desire evokes the dusty haze of Joshua Tree and cracks open the cinematic and cerebral portal to Dulli's world, one that hasn't been touched by The Afghan Whigs or The Twilight Singers. Scene by scene, Random Desire is an exploration of life, death, survival, love, loss, and the other maddening circles of humanity—something Dulli has managed to continuously dissect in song over the years.

Q: Convert DataTable to nestead Class by linq I have a nested class definition as below:
[XmlRoot()]
public class cars
{
    [XmlElement(ElementName="car")]
    public car[] carList { get; set; }
}
public class car
{
    [XmlElement(ElementName = "manufacture")]
    public string manufacture { get; set; }
    [XmlElement(ElementName = "models")]
    public models modelList { get; set; }
}
public class models
{
    [XmlElement(ElementName = "model")]
    public model[] modelList { get; set; }
}
public class model
{
    [XmlElement(ElementName = "name")]
    public string name { get; set; }
    [XmlElement(ElementName = "color")]
    public string color { get; set; }
}

I have a DataTable as below:
 DataTable dt = new DataTable();
    dt.Columns.Add("Manufacture");
    dt.Columns.Add("ModelName");
    dt.Columns.Add("Color");

    Object[] rows = {
        new Object[]{"P1","405","1,6"},
        new Object[]{"P1","406","1,7"},
        new Object[]{"P2","407","1,8"},
        new Object[]{"P2","408","1,9"}
    };
    dt.Rows.Add(rows);

I want to convert my data in DataTable to my class cars.
Any help would be appreciated.
Update:
For using suggestion, I need to change Rows.Add with below code, otherwise, I will only get object in result.
            DataRow dr= dt.NewRow();
        dr["Manufacture"] = "Peugeot1";
        dr["ModelName"] = "405";
        dr["Color"] = "1,6";
        dt.Rows.Add(dr);
        DataRow dr2 = dt.NewRow();
        dr2["Manufacture"] = "Peugeot1";
        dr2["ModelName"] = "406";
        dr2["Color"] = "1,7";
        dt.Rows.Add(dr2);
        DataRow dr3 = dt.NewRow();
        dr3["Manufacture"] = "Peugeot2";
        dr3["ModelName"] = "405";
        dr3["Color"] = "1,6";
        dt.Rows.Add(dr3);

A: Use GroupBy to group all the rows by the Manufacture and then for each group project a new Car. To populate the ModelList property use a Select on the group:
var result = (from row in dt.AsEnumerable()
              group row by row.Field<string>("Manufacture") into grouping
              select new Car
              {
                  Manufacture = grouping.Key,
                  ModelList = grouping.Select(item => new Model
                  {
                      Name = item.Field<string>("ModelName"),
                      Color = item.Field<string>("Color")
                  }).ToArray()
              }).ToList();

You can also use the method syntax with the GroupBy overload where you specify a selector predicate:
var result = dt.AsEnumerable()
               .GroupBy(row => row.Field<string>("Manufacture"),
                        row => new Model
                        {
                            Name = row.Field<string>("ModelName"),
                            Color = row.Field<string>("Color")
                        })
               .Select(group => new Car
               {
                   Manufacture = group.Key,
                   ModelList = group.ToArray()
               }).ToList();

Note that I have change the classes and property names to match the C# naming conventions

Q: Ajax jquery post is posting without a variable name I have a very simple jquery ajax post function:
function verifyEmail(form){
    $.post('login.php',
    {
        'email': $("#email").val()
    });
}

but when I call this function the request is sent but without variable name with is just as a content email="name@gmail.com" so the var_dump result is blank.
I tried changing it to a $.ajax request but the result is the same.

A: Use
console.log($("#email").val());

for seeing what value the email field have.
What kind of formfield is #email?
If there is a value in #email try
$.ajax({
  url: "login.php",
  type: "POST",
  data: { email : $("#email").val() }
});

A: Try like this..
$.ajax({
 type : 'post',
 url : 'your url to send data',
 data : 'email='+$("#email").val(),
 success : function(data){
    // here you can populate data

 }
});


A Silver Salver Card Tray. The raised scallop shaped pie crust rim with spreading leaf decoration surrounding the scalloped edge centre. The salver raised on scrolled feet. Hallmarked for Hawksworth Eyre, Sheffield 1926. Height 1 1/4 inches, width 8 1/4 inches.


A toggle has been added on the Validation screen to zoom the Index Field, wrapped, paragraph, and table data in the image. The zoom feature makes it easier for the user to spot and validate the extracted values.
1. On the Validation screen, select the extracted Index Field value in the middle panel.
2. Click the Zoom Overlay Image toggle from the toolbar.
Or, use the shortcut-key Ctrl + Shift + X.
Ephesoft Transact will zoom-in on the overlay of the selected Index Field value in the image. Zoomed-in overlay will change upon the change of the Index Field. If required, you can drag the zoomed-in overlay on the image so that it does not obstruct the image view.
3. Click on the image to close the zoomed-in overlay.
Or, use the same shortcut-key / toggle.
The zoom overlay feature is implemented same way for wrapped, paragraph, and table data values as shown below.
After zooming in the value, you can move from one field to the next one using the Tab button on your keyboard. Tab functionality is supported by Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer.
When you navigate between the fields, either by directly selecting them or using the Tab button, the zoomed-in value will change accordingly. The Zoom functionality will be retained even after you select the field containing no extracted value. Upon moving on to the next field with data, the value will be zoomed in again.
On Validation screen, you can also change the value that has been picked up by the system. For that, you can simply click in the index field in the middle pane and then select required value on the image by drawing an overlay. Now, the zoom will work for the updated value, i.e. the system will always zoom in the value, which has a yellow overlay.
Note: Once the value is changed, the Validate button will become red to indicate that changes have to be confirmed. To save the changes in the final batch xml file, don't forget to update the document by pressing Ctrl + Shift + C.


While advanced age brings wisdom and life experience, it can also be lonely. Many elderly people struggle with depression and feelings of isolation, which can decrease their quality of life. Assisted living facilities try to change that by arranging clubs, social nights, and outings where residents are able to interact with others and enjoy activities that they are interested in. Assisted living facilities often have the option of including a meal service, so your parent will be able to enjoy his or her meals with other residents in a communal dining area.
Many assisted living facilities offer small apartments, where residents can have their own space and independence without having to worry about upkeep and maintenance. If you elect to move your elderly parent into an assisted living facility that has individual apartments, you can most likely arrange for cleaning services, meal delivery, and general support from the facility staff. Contact Hilltop House Assisted Living to find out what services they offer and what would be a good fit for your parent.
In general, assisted living facilities are designed to keep their residents safe. A lot of facilities have gated grounds, and many common areas are monitored by surveillance cameras. Some assisted living facilities provide a way for residents to alert staff if they have an emergency in their apartment or room and need urgent help. Overall, the communal atmosphere of an assisted living facility can help keep your parent safe and secure.
If your elderly parent has health problems, assisted living facilities can usually arrange regular shuttles or other forms of transportation to clinics, hospitals, and doctor appointments so you parent can get the medical care that he or she needs. It is also common for assisted living facilities to employ nurses who can assist with home health care, if needed. Many assisted living communities also have nursing home facilities where your parent can receive around the clock care if his or her health deteriorates.

In this blog post, we will walk through how to obtain and use the OData Client T4 template. We will not be covering other details of T4; much of that information is available on MSDN.
Let's begin by creating a new Console Application project.
Next we need to use NuGet to get the T4 template. We can do this by right-clicking the project in the Solution Explorer and choosing Manage NuGet Packages. NOTE: You may need to get the NuGet Package Manager if you are using VS 2010.
In the Package Explorer window, choose Online from the left nav, ensure that the prerelease dropdown is set to Include Prerelease (not Stable Only), and search for Microsoft.Data.Services.Client.T4. You should see the OData Client T4 package appear; click the Install button to install the package.
When the OData Client T4 package has been added to the project, you should see a file called Reference.tt appear in the Solution Explorer. (NOTE: It's perfectly fine at this point to change the name of the file to something more meaningful for your project.) Expand Reference.tt using the caret to the left of the file and double-click to open Reference.cs. Note that the contents of Reference.cs were generated from the T4 template and that they provide further instructions on how to use the template.
Double-click Reference.tt to open the T4 template. On line 30, add the following: MetadataUri = http://odata.netflix.com/Catalog/$metadata;. NOTE: The T4 template does not currently support actions; if you specify a $metadata that contains actions, code generation will fail.
Save Reference.tt and expand Reference.cs in the Solution Explorer to see the newly generated classes. (NOTE: If you're using VS 2010, you'll need to open Reference.cs and browse the code in the file.
Finally, add the following code to Program.cs.
Press Ctrl+F5 to see the result.
Why should I use the T4 template?
Currently the Add Service Reference and DataSvcUtil experiences are both based on a DLL that does not allow for customizable code generation. We believe that in the future both of these experiences will use the T4 template internally, with the hope that you would be able to customize the output of either experience. (Imagine the simplicity of ASR with the power of T4!) To do that, we need to get the T4 template to a quality level equal to or better than the ASR experience.
Did the T4 template work for you? Why or why not?
What customizability should be easier in the T4 template?
Do you use DataSvcUtil today? For what reason?
If you only use DataSvcUtil for msbuild chaining, could you chain a T4 template instead?
Do you want the T4 template to generate C# or VB.NET?
What if server side OData service is in same solution?
Do you have a timeframe for action support, once that is complete i will most proably take a look at the t4 client?
Does the new t4 client fully support asyncronous clients (specifically silverlight 5)?
Disclaimer: I have not yet worked with odata (apart from looking at different demos), but we might were well use it in the future, just provide us with an easy way to migrate it with our wcf ria services (you now have better query support so we only lack some validation and "projection" of entities which hopefully the t4 templates will solve 🙂 ).
* Provide an API for mapping server side types to client side types (if you for example have a service function returning a List<int> and the client expose a function returning IEnumerable<int> then provide a method to get this mapping as well as to write the types. Use case: make it is easy to write the parameter list for functions taking arguments).
* Provide an API for looking up the default names of different serviceoperations/actions etc if they differ from the name on the service.
* Prefer to expose interfaces instead of concreate types in the generated code (WCF RIA Services uses for example EntityQuery and EntitySet of which neither implement interfaces or can be extended).
What tool at you using to get syntax highlighting when editing the T4 template?
The namespace generation should cover entities in different namespaces.
– How to use the T4 in a LightSwitch application?
Is the code source for 5.X.X ever going to be published on odata.codeplex.com?
How do you add multiple data service references in the same project?
Any time frame on support for actions? This is a huge feature for our team and without support for actions, we're building services today using web api instead.
If the service only allows Windows authentication, the T4 template fails with 401.
Is it possible to add support for authentication?
Error 2 Running transformation: System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized.
This looks great, but I need it to support both VB.NET as well as Actions.

Gouverneur Kemble Warren began his military career after graduating second in his class from the United States Military Academy in 1850. He was commissioned into the Corps of Topographical Engineers, and spent time working along the Mississippi River, as well as taking part in creating one of the first comprehensive maps of the United States west of the Mississippi River.
After the outbreak of the Civil War, on May 14, 1861, he was appointed lieutenant colonel of the 5th New York, and saw action at the Battle of Bethel Church (also known as Big Bethel) in Virginia on June 10. For his actions during the battle, he was promoted to colonel of the regiment in August of 1861. In 1862, he and his command took part in the Peninsula Campaign. He commanded his regiment during the Siege of Yorktown, and commanded a brigade of Sykes' Division during the Seven Days Battles. He was wounded at the battle of Gaines' Mill, and performed admirably at the Battle of Malvern Hill, holding off an attack of overwhelming Confederate forces. He commanded a brigade under Fitz John Porter at the Battle of Second Manassas, as well as during the Battle of Antietam. For his actions, he was promoted to brigadier general of volunteers on September 26, 1862. He continued to lead his brigade through the Battle of Fredericksburg, and then served as an engineer for General Joseph Hooker during the Battle of Chancellorsville. It was after this battle that Gouverneur Warren received his most fame.
On the second day of the Battle of Gettysburg, Gouverneur Warren realized the importance that a position known as Little Round Top would be during the battle, and sent Colonel Strong Vincent to hold the position just as Confederates began to attack. As a result of this action, the Union army was able to hold onto the key position, and went on to win the battle. He was promoted to major general on August 8, 1863 following the battle.
After Winfield Scott Hancock was wounded, Warren took control of the II Corps, and was noted for his actions during the Battle of Bristoe Station. During the Mine Run Campaign, Warren chose not to attack Lee's army, avoiding a trap that would have cost many Union lives. Before the Overland Campaign, Warren was reassigned to take command of the V Corps. He led the V Corps through the Overland Campaign, during the Siege of Petersburg, and into the beginning stages of the Appomattox Campaign. At the Battle of Five Forks, Union General Philip Sheridan was greatly angered by what he perceived as Warren moving his Corps too slowly, and relieved him of command on the spot. Although he was reassigned to the defenses of Petersburg, Warren would never forget the incident.
After the war, he resigned his commission as a major general in protest to Sheridan's actions, and returned to the Corps of Engineers. He spent the rest of his career attempting to exonerate his name. In 1879, a board of inquiry was finally called, and it was found that Sheridan was not justified in relieving Warren during the battle.

With its seventh annual sales mission this year, Brand USA visit India mission was the biggest in strength with 64 delegates from 42 US tourism organisations in three cities – Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru.
WITH ITS seventh annual sales mission to India, Brand USA aimed at increasing the number of India residents to choose the United States as their next travel destination and educating the India travel industry about the endless travel opportunities available to their clients.
The sales mission started from September 23-28, was a platform for U.S. destination marketing organizations (DMOs) and suppliers to interact directly with tour operators, airline representatives, travel agents, meetings, incentives, conventions, and expositions (MICE) buyers and media.
The India visit this year was the biggest in strength with 64 delegates from 42 US tourism organisations in three cities – Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru.
With the US and Indian governments jointly declaring the year 2017 as a "U.S. and India Travel and Tourism Partnership Year" to promote bilateral tourism, this year, Chris Thompson, Brand USA's President & Chief Executive Officer, announced campaigns that feature music and culinary themes to promote US-bound travel, and offer opportunities that allow partners to extend their marketing reach into specific global markets. "Music is a natural way to explore the diversity of the US," he said. Music is a major platform and an inspiration for people to explore the United States. And music is what sticks with you. You remember the sound tracks of your youth or that song you heard on the radio on that driving trip you took," he said.
The tourism potential of New Age India is huge and Brand USA's endeavour is to continue promoting the unparalleled tourism offerings to this stratum of discerning travellers. "India, a growing source market for U.S. travel, is a country with more than 50 million passport holders and that number is expected to increase. Brand USA is thrilled that visitation by Indian travellers to the United States continues to grow each year. With 1.17 million visitors in 2016 who spent USD 13.6 billion, India was the 11th highest ranked country by arrival numbers," he said. "In visitor spending, however, India ranked sixth, higher than several countries with greater arrival numbers to the U.S. The annual India mission continues to be a major initiative for enhancing visitation from India," he said.
The U.S. is aiming to attract around two million visitors from India in 2018 as it undertakes a number of initiatives to promote the country as a preferred destination.

Positive momentum in Central African Republic must be maintained
MINUSCA/Leonel Grothe

18 October 2021 Peace and Security
The announcement last week of a unilateral ceasefire in the Central African Republic is among recent positive steps in the country, the top UN official there told the Security Council on Monday, urging continued support for peace and reconciliation efforts.
Mankeur Ndiaye, Special Representative of the Secretary-General and head of UN peacekeeping operation, MINUSCA, underlined the need to maintain "positive momentum" as the authorities strive to achieve democracy and stability in the wake of presidential and parliamentary elections.
The UN mission's mandate expires next month, and Mr. Ndiaye said an extension is especially needed to assist with local elections, which have not been held in more than 30 years.
The extension, alongside strong determination by the government and engagement by international partners, are also essential for the adoption of lasting political solutions in the CAR.
"With the support of all the members of the Council, we will work hard to make the best use of our good offices in order to promote a transparent coordinated and coherent approach in order to generate necessary contributions to the resolution of the crisis in the CAR," he said, speaking through an interpreter.
Roadmap for peace
Mr. Ndiaye described the declaration of the 15 October ceasefire by President Faustin Archange Touadéra as "a major step" towards dialogue in the CAR, a country that has been plagued by armed violence for nearly a decade.
The truce is in line with a joint roadmap for peace adopted a month earlier by the countries that comprise the International Conference of the Great Lakes Region (ICGLR). This in turn has helped to reinvigorate a February 2019 peace deal signed by the Government and 14 armed groups in the country.
It could also contribute to the conducive environment needed for the Government's planned launch of an inclusive dialogue with all political parties.
"It is essential that all the armed groups and their leaders without any exception, subscribe in good faith to the peace process by fulfilling in good faith all their obligations pursuant to the agreement of the 6 February and the joint roadmap," said Mr. Ndiaye, underling the need for accountability.
President Touadéra, who also addressed ambassadors by videoconference, said he was counting on the Council's support to "safeguard the integrity" of the two peace agreements.
"My declaration of a ceasefire demonstrates once again, if there was such a need, that our only ambition is to ultimately find a lasting political solution in the CAR to the crisis that we are enduring," he said, speaking through an interpreter.
Rampant insecurity
Insecurity persists in various areas of the CAR, affecting delivery of humanitarian aid. Although some 3.1 million people need protection and assistance, a humanitarian appeal for the country is only around 60 per cent funded.
Military operations have been conducted in response to armed group activities, particularly in the west and central regions. Some groups have also been attempting to "reconquer" former strongholds in the northwest, centre and southeast, where increased human rights violations have been reported.
"We are also aware that critical contribution of the mandate and the robust posture of MINUSCA contributes to making the political process more credible," said Mr. Ndiaye, urging the Council to provide additional personnel and resources.
Zero tolerance for abuse
However, he also highlighted the increase in sexual exploitation and abuse by personnel serving at the mission. Last month, the UN announced the immediate repatriation of all military units from Gabon following credible reports of alleged abuse of girls by unidentified 'blue helmets'.
Mr. Ndiaye stressed the need to rigorously enforce the Secretary-General's zero-tolerance policy for such incidents. "We count on the members of the Council and the effective cooperation of (troop-contributing countries) to put an end to the scourge by strict compliance with the obligations that are incumbent on everyone."

Q: Displaying all the images in a folder in image control with 5sec time gap I have a folder with 1000 images that have the image name in a sequence "ICON000,ICON001 till ICON 999". I need them to be displayed in my WPF image control sequentially with 5sec time delay. i have used a file dialogue box to get the path of the particular folder and the corresponding prefix of the image (ICON). i used the below code
string path = null;
string selected_file;
string URI;`enter code here`
openfile.AddExtension = true;
openfile.Filter = "GIF(*.gif)|*.gif|PNG(*.png)|*.png|JPG(*.jpg)|*.jpg|JPEG(*.jpeg)|*.jpeg";
DialogResult result = openfile.ShowDialog();
if (result.ToString() == "OK")
{
selected_file = openfile.FileName;
 Uri uri_temp = new Uri(selected_file);
URI = uri_temp.AbsoluteUri;

 string[] ext = URI.Split('.');
 //textBox1.Text = ext[0];

 string[] ss = ext[0].Split('/');
 int a = ss.Length;

string a1 = ss[a - 1];

string image_prefix = a1.Substring(0, 4);
   string image_no = a1.Substring(4, 3);
   for (int i = 0; i < a-1; i++)
    {
        path = path + ss[i] + "/";
     }
  string path1 = path;

     path = path1 + image_prefix + image_no + "." + ext[1];

   for (int i = 1; i < 999; i++)
    {
        if (i < 10)
       {
           image_no = "00" + i;
        }
       else if (i < 100)
      {
           image_no = "0" + i;
         }
         else
        {
              image_no = i.ToString();
          }
          path = path1 + image_prefix + image_no + "." + ext[1];
           string dasdasd = path;

         string loc = new Uri(path).LocalPath;
           bool asasa = File.Exists(loc);
       if (asasa == true)
          {      System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000);
                image1.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(dasdasd));
           }
             else
             {
                System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("File not found");
         }

But the image is not getting displayed. do the need ful....!!

A: Use a DispatcherTimer to update the currently displayed image.
private DispatcherTimer timer = new DispatcherTimer();
private int imageIndex;
private int maxImageIndex;

public MainWindow()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    timer.Tick += TimerTick;
}

private void StartSlideShow(TimeSpan interval, int maxIndex)
{
    imageIndex = 0;
    maxImageIndex = maxIndex;

    timer.Interval = interval;
    timer.Start();
}

private void TimerTick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    image.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(CreatePath(imageIndex)));

    if (++imageIndex >= maxImageIndex)
    {
        ((DispatcherTimer)sender).Stop();
    }
}

private string CreatePath(int index)
{
    // create image file path from index
    // ...
}

Start displaying images by calling for example
StartSlideShow(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5), 1000);

A: With the call to Thread.Sleep() you block the UI thread. So whatever change you make to the UI will not be displayed.
What you should do instead is using a timer. Make i (you may want to rename it) a class variable. Set the timer to fire up every 5 seconds. In the timer event, increment i, load the next image and set it for the image control. To set the image you have to use the Dispatcher (Dispatcher.Invoke()), because you cannot change the UI from a non-UI thread.

The year was 1933. Most of the country was in the grips of the Great Depression, but even then, Tyler was different. Thanks to the Oil Boom, the local economy was growing and thriving, and civic leaders had reason to celebrate. A group of women in the Tyler Garden Club created a plan to focus attention on the importance of the rose industry to the Tyler area, while also showcasing the town's elegance and beauty. Enlisting the help of local rose growers, the Chamber of Commerce and others, they organized the first Tyler Rose Festival. Thousands came and spread the word about the lovely East Texas city where "everything was coming up roses."
As the years passed, the festival became part of Texas legend. For a state previously known for its cattle, cotton and oil, the inspiring beauty of its roses was a welcome change. Dignitaries including governors, presidential candidates, First Ladies and others who visited brought national attention to Tyler. And the name soon changed from the Tyler Rose Festival to the Texas Rose Festival.
Members of the Tyler Garden Club are credited with first promoting the Festival idea in 1933. They enlisted the cooperation of the local rose growers, the Chamber of Commerce and civic leaders to organize the first Tyler Rose Festival. Thousands flocked to the Festival and spread the word about this lovely East Texas community that was literally blanketed with blooms.
In fact, the first Tyler Rose Festival was planned to be a showcase for the successful rose industry. A popular feature of the first Festival was a tour of local rose fields prior to harvest.
The oil boom of the 1930s spared Tyler most of the effects of the Depression. As a result, this infusion of local wealth gave the early Rose Festivals an elegance rarely seen in other metropolitan areas.
The Texas Rose Festival has persevered and evolved into an annual event that attracts thousands of visitors from across the nation and impacts the local economy with millions in tourist revenue.

Tomb Raider—Egyptian style
On December 18, 2018 December 18, 2018 By Ann MalleyIn Author Recommendation, Digging Into History
Think Laura Croft has tagged all the tombs? Think again, and don't kid yourself. My history freak is absolutely blog worthy. Even for an inspy suspense/romance writer. Hidden bones, exotic lands, and ancient civilizations are the stuff of stories—contemporary and historical.
Welcome to the tomb of Wahtye!
And this is a doozie. An archeological expedition, led by Secretary General, Mostafa Waziri of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, has unearthed an untouched grave south of Cairo. That's right. The looters missed one. That's ancient looters. I'm on the fence about disturbing the dead here. (Too many stories of ancient curses???) But here I am. Excited, intrigued, and wishing genies were real so I could blink over to North Africa.
This crypt, discovered at the Saqqara dig site, dates to the 5th dynasty. That's the reign of the pharaoh's over 4,400 years ago.
Some foyer for a dead man
"The tomb belonged to a royal purification priest known as "Wahtye," Khaled al-Anani, Antiquities Minister, told CNN. "Inscriptions suggested the priest had served during the reign of King Nefer-Ir-Ka-Re and was the king's supervisor and inspector of the holy boat." (I'm inspired. How about you??)
Whoever this individual was in life, he warranted a fantastic send off.
Ancient Egyptian Living
The site has barely been plumbed but has already yielded copious murals, statuary, and a wealth of relief sculpture. Like a step back in time, the vaults are revealing their secrets. The colors are crisp, too, despite the passage of epochs. So is the reality of daily life.
Representations include, "the manufacturing of pottery and wine, making religious offering, musical performances, boats sailing, the manufacturing of the funerary furniture, and hunting," according to Egypt Today. Five sealed shafts have been identified beneath the dust.
That means there's plenty more to find. Like the Royal Priest Wahtye's sarcophagus! But if you can't get to Egypt, or don't want to wait for dusty discoveries, no worries.
Zambian born octogenarian Wilbur Smith has you covered. He's been at the writing craft since the '60's and, man, he's GOOD. Smith is he who gave me a fear of Egyptian no-go-zones. At an early age. And I'm soooo glad he did.

This is so cool! Many years ago, definitely the last century, I had a chance to go to Los Angeles and see King Tut's artifacts. What stays in my mind is that gold inlaid image of the boy king. Whether or not my then 4 year old daughter remembers any of it is another matter.

Post-classical Islamic Philosophy Database Initiative (PIPDI)
The Post-classical Islamic Philosophy Database Initiative (PIPDI) will create the infrastructure that is needed for a systematic investigation of the vast but severely understudied corpus of Islamic philosophical texts dating from 1100-1900CE. These post-classical texts include original and exegetical works on logic (syllogistic and dialectic), philosophy of language, epistemology, ethics, metaphysics (ontology and theology), natural philosophy and cosmology, and philosophy of mind.
Up to now research on Islamic philosophy has focused on the classical period (ca. 800-1200CE), which directly influenced medieval and Renaissance Europe. By contrast, the post-classical period that followed it, and which lasted until the 19th-century irruption of the European imperial powers into the Islamic lands, remains relatively unexamined. Yet many post-classical philosophical works formed a central component of the curriculum in traditional institutions of Islamic education. PIPDI will create a searchable database index of the 400 most influential and original philosophical texts written in Arabic during the 1100-1900CE period. The Project Leader, Robert Wisnovsky, has already collated two handlists totalling just under 3,000 Arabic philosophical texts that were produced and survive from this period; one handlist is already published* , the other is being prepared for publication. From this total Wisnovsky has selected – subject to modification by an advisory board – an initial tranche of 400 to be indexed during PIPDI's four-year funding period (2008-2012). These 400 works will be the 65 most broadly disseminated Arabic philosophical texts from the post-classical period plus 135 of the most influential commentaries (out of a total of 850) on those 65 texts; as well as a further 200 of the most innovative and important Arabic philosophical texts from the remaining 2,000 or so less canonical works.
Approximately 85% of these works remain unedited and survive only in manuscript form. To provide PIPDI's technicians with a representative sample of variant readings, an average of five of the best and most easily accessible manuscript copies of each of the 400 selected works will be purchased in the form of microfilms or microfiches, or as CDs or DVDs of already scanned images. PIPDI technicians will use a high-speed scanner to convert all undigitized image-frames into computer-readable high-definition TIFF files. Two technicians will then construct the index by cleaning, coding and entering the information contained in the scanned images. The first is the Metadata Editor, who will be responsible for indexing descriptive information on the author of the work, on the work itself, and on the individual manuscript copies. The metadata will provide the basis for research on the bibliographical and sociological aspects of the postclassical Islamic philosophers and their works. The second is the Data Editor, who will be responsible for indexing the work's contents, according to folio and line number. The data will provide the basis for research on the conceptual evolutions of post-classical Islamic philosophy. Part-time graduate-student Research Assistants will work alongside and aid the two editors. In order to maximize PIPDI's scope, it is being integrated with the project led by Jamil Ragep to create a database index of scientific manuscripts (ISMI/STIS).
By creating the infrastructure necessary to index and investigate the post-classical period of Islamic philosophy, PIPDI will enable researchers to integrate the classical with the modern periods of Islamic thought, and thereby ensure that this complex and dynamic intellectual tradition is understood in detail by scholars and students, both Muslim and non-Muslim.

I'm a historian of East Africa with a particular emphasis on the Great Lakes region. My research and teaching interests center on medical history, historical anthropology, and multidisciplinary methodologies for writing African history. My first book, Beyond the Royal Gaze: Clanship and Public Healing in Buganda, examined how the domains of politics and public healing were intimately entwined in Buganda, a kingdom located on the northwest shores of Lake Victoria in present-day Uganda, from the sixteenth through the early nineteenth centuries. The book won the Melville Herskovits Prize of the African Studies Association.
