Ransomware is headline news almost every day. The financial model that rewards this new type of cyber criminal has been proven; extorting end-users and enterprises for money works. The list of organisations impacted is truly mindboggling, from health care networks to corporate systems, government agencies and even law enforcement.
Part of the reason ransomware has been so successful is that the threat hasn't really been taken seriously by many. Defences are usually ad-hoc, overly reliant on specific technologies, and reactive - software is frantically updated when a new ransomware variant hits the headlines.
Classical disaster recovery plans also fail to account for the operational goals of ransomware attackers. Unlike conventional risks that may trigger disaster recovery protocols, ransomware actively seeks to thwart recovery efforts.
So, while it might seem like resistance is futile, the reality is that ransomware attacks can be prevented and business impact can be mitigated. What is needed is a coherent, policy-based approach to defending business assets.
The combination of encryption, crypto-currencies and 'dark' networks gives these attackers the ability to lock down critical business resources and to process ransom payments while remaining anonymous.
Consequently, the barrier to entry for a would-be-criminal is quite low. Most ransomware variants are copycat attacks with minor tweaks to either what they target, or how they initiate their infections. Unfortunately, even with minor tweaks, the high frequency of attacks has seen the overall ransomware threat evolve rapidly.
To defend against current ransomware threats and help understanding the threat, we should ask: what are the motives of the attacker, and how have their technical capabilities and methods evolved over time?
Knowing what types of data these crooks are likely to be interested in allows us to start developing both defensive mechanism to prevent infection, and appropriate disaster recovery procedures.
Security policy development frameworks such as ISO/27000 can help to identify risks, document procedures and develop controls to defend against most ransomware threats. However, your security plan also needs to be "ransom-aware".
The broad range of at-risk systems and data needs to be considered, and disaster recovery plans need to be secure against deliberate data and backup destruction.
However, if your policies are not "ransom-aware", they might maintain a physical separation but overlook a network (logical) separation. Under attack from ransomware, you may find that the malware has reached out across your network links to destroy remote or even cloud-based backups.
To combat the threat of ransomware, enterprises need to be prepared. SAI Global's guide ' Surviving Ransomware', co-authored by Zubair Baig and Nikolai Hampton, is designed to help organisations prepare and it is available now on our online store. It is essential that at-risk systems are identified and either: updated to minimise the attack surface exposed through vulnerabilities and unsupported or obsolete software; or protected through other technical measures such as firewalls or physical isolation.
Security policy controls will also require regular reviews to ensure they adequately consider both current ransomware threats, as well as the potential future evolution.
Business should also consider their position on ransomware payments. In an ideal world, payments would never be made and the threat would dry up due to lack of financial incentive. However evidence shows that many corporate and even government agencies have resorted to ransomware payments. Your policies and practices should reflect your appetite for dealing with extortion, acceptable losses, limiting ransom payments and sustaining communication policies.
The ransomware threat is real, it's growing and it adaptive. While ransomware is unlike most other cyber security and information security threats, enterprises can defend their critical assets through proactive and well-developed security policies. But, these policies must adequately consider the ransomware threat.
With sufficient planning, revised security policy controls and a well-tested disaster recovery plan, protecting against ransomware is possible. All that remains is to remain vigilant and prepared to adapt as the nature of the threat develops across future generations of malware.
Join our webinar on 12 September at 2PM AEST where experts Zubair Baig and Nikolai Hampton discuss insights including ransomware motives and technology, plus how to implement effective 'ransom-aware' policies and controls.
Since 2015 Nikolai and Zubair have researched and reverse engineered ransomware, observing how attack methods have evolved and how command and control structures have matured. Aiming to help businesses formalise dealing with ransomware they developed a best practice guide titled ' Surviving Ransomware', which has been published by SAI Global and is available on their online store. The guide is designed to help businesses understand, prepare and defend the enterprise from ransomware threats.
The webinar will also discuss how you can tune your security policies and business rules to help defend yourself against this rapidly emerging and costly threat.

Riz Ahmed is the first Asian actor to win an Emmy
Other notable winners include Lena Waithe and Aziz Ansari for 'Master of None.'
On Sunday at the 69th annual Emmy Awards, Riz Ahmed won Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie for his starring role as an accused murderer in HBO's limited series crime drama The Night Of.
That makes Ahmed the first man of Asian descent to take home a trophy at the Emmys, and only the second Asian performer ever to win, following Archie Panjabi's win for The Good Wife in 2010.
The Night Of is an eight-part miniseries that follows the intricate story of a murder case in New York City. Ahmed received critical praise for his star-making turn as Nasir "Naz" Khan, a Pakistani American college student accused in the grisly murder of a mysterious young woman after a night gone wrong.
"Wow. This is a tremendous honor to be recognized along so many actors who I've watched for so long." Ahmed said in his acceptance speech. "If this show has shone a light on some of the prejudice in our society, Islamophobia, some of the injustice in our justice system, then maybe that's something."
The Pakistani British actor and emcee also specifically credited the organizations South Asian Youth Action and The Innocence Project for helping him prepare for the role.
The evening's other noteworthy winners include Aziz Ansari and Lena Waithe, who won the Emmy for Outstanding Writing For A Comedy Series for the "Thanksgiving" episode of Netflix's Master of None. It's one of the highlights of season two and, hands down, one of my favorite episodes of television ever.
The win notably made Waithe the first black woman to win for Best Writing in a Comedy Series. (Ansari and series co-creator Alan Yang won in the same category last year for the celebrated "Parents" episode.)
The pair received a standing ovation as they took the podium, where Ansari silently took two steps back to give Waithe the mic and have her well-deserved moment. In her acceptance speech, she thanked Netflix, gave her girlfriend a shoutout, and shared an empowering message to her "LGBTQIA family."
"I see each and every one of you," Waithe said. "The things that make us different -- those are our superpowers. Every day when you walk out the door and put on your imaginary cape and go out there and conquer the world, because the world would not be as beautiful as it is if we weren't in it. And for everybody out there that showed us so much love for this episode, thank you for embracing a little Indian boy from South Carolina and a queer black girl from the South Side of Chicago."
Of course, such a huge win did not spare Ansari and Waithe from enduring an awkward moment backstage.
Also noteworthy: Donald Glover won Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series for the hilarious "B.A.N." episode of Atlanta, becoming the first black director ever to win an Emmy in the category. (Later, he also took home the trophy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.)
In his acceptance speech for directing, Glover singled out and thanked his best friend and close collaborator Hiro Murai, who directed seven episodes of Atlanta's first season. Murai, who previously directed music videos, is largely credited as the talent behind the show's unique look and feel.
"This really belongs to Hiro Murai," Glover said, holding up his Emmy statue. "He taught me everything about directing. He had the eye for this show when we first sat down. He's just amazing. I really want to give this to Hiro and say I love you and thank you for being my best friend."
So... if you're looking for some good TV to watch, these shows are a pretty damn great place to start.

Taiwanese across Europe, Australia protest Taiwan's exclusion from WHA
Brussels, Rome and Jakarta, May 16 (CNA) Taiwanese in Brussels, Rome and several other European cities, as well as Sydney in Australia took to the streets Thursday to protest Taiwan's exclusion from the upcoming annual World Health Assembly (WHA) in Geneva.
Dubbed "Walk with Taiwan" and organized by Taiwan's representative offices overseas, the events brought together overseas Taiwanese to show support for the country's participation in the global health organization.
In Brussels, the march drew the participation of about 300 Taiwanese, who waved their national flag and carried banners that read "Support Taiwan, Support Democracy" and "Health for All, Taiwan Can Help."
Members of the Belgium-Taiwan Parliamentary Friendship Group, including Peter Luykx and Georges Dallemagne, also joined the short march from La Monnaie opera house to the Taipei representative office in Square de Meeus.
Tseng Ho-jen (曾厚仁), Taiwan's representative to the EU and Belgium, told CNA that the march was organized in response to Taiwan's unfair exclusion from the annual meeting of the WHA, the decision-making body of the World Health Organization.
"The march is about highlighting Taiwan's democracy, freedom, rule of law and respect for human rights and its shared values with the EU," Tseng said.
It was also about telling the world that Taiwan has been excluded from the WHA due to political pressure, he said.
Taiwan's representative to Italy Lee Sing-ying (李新穎), meanwhile, thanked the Taiwanese participants at the Rome event for helping make the country's voices heard.
("Walk with Taiwan" in Rome)
According to Lee, the "Walk with Taiwan" event was held across 25 cities across Europe.
Local attendees included Italian Senator Lucio Malan, who heads the Italy-Taiwan Parliamentary Friendship Group, and Italian lawmakers Marco Di Maio and Nicola Carè.
In Sydney, the event also drew in a large crowd of local expatriates in support of Taiwan's cause.
("Walk with Taiwan" in Sydney)
Taiwan had hoped to attend the May 20-28 WHA in Geneva as an observer, as it did from 2009 to 2016, but failed to obtain an invitation for the third year in row due to obstruction by China.
China has been taking a harder line on Taiwan's participation in international organizations since President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) of the pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) came to power in May 2016.

Q: prepend переворачивает результат Делаю цикл, обрабатывая json массив, получаю в итоге переменную с кучей option которые нужно вставить в начало select, делаю prepend и он вставляет их перевернутыми. Пробовал append, там все нормально вставляет, только вот мне нужно в начало select
Код:
$.get( "http://127.0.0.1/admin/animations/get", { min: (last-1500), max: (last-1000)}, function( data ) { // Возвращает json типа { ['name' = 'test'], ['test1', 'test2', 'test2'] }
    data.forEach(function (v, i) {
        var group = $('<optgroup></optgroup>');
        group.attr('label', v['name']);
        group.attr('id', last-1000+i);  // last это последний id в select, делал для удобного удаления в будущем
        $.each(v['props'], function (s, p) {
            var option = $('<option></option>');
            option.val([v['name'], p]);
            option.text(p);
            group.append(option);
        });
        list.prepend(group); // Хочу вставить в начало select, но получается перевернутый результат, с 500 до 0 ид а должно быть наоборот.
    });
} , "json" );

A: Если бы ваши входные данные были массивом, то достаточно было бы просто проитерировать его в обратном порядке, например, с помощью data.reverse().forEach. Но поскольку это объект, то вариант решения - изначально сложить все созданный  группы в промежуточный массив, а затем уже его целиком добавить в начало списка.
Итого, нечто вроде
var groups = [];
data.forEach(function (v, i) {
    var group = $('<optgroup></optgroup>');
    .....
    groups.push(group);
});
list.prepend(groups);

Wakefield College and Wakefield Trinity Community Trust have partnered up to become joint-first Women's Rugby Development Academy in the country.
The Women's Development Academy is a new project launched by the RFL to structure and professionalise the women's game from grassroots to Super league and national level. The idea is to work with the college to provide talented female rugby players in the area with a good quality education and dual career that they can use in later life, whilst also developing their rugby skills and ability with regular training sessions and fixtures – similar to the Youth Team model in men's football.
With the 2021 Women's Rugby League World Cup around the corner, one aim is to try and get the girls in the academy fast tracked into the England National squad and compete to be world champions. This is where Wakefield Trinity will step in with their coaches and development officers to deliver top quality coaching at the college and FastTrack the girls into elite rugby and their women's team who are currently competing in the Championship (soon to be Super League).
Part of the programme is to develop the grassroots game in the area and in schools. There is already some great work being done in the community game but, with the introduction of the Women's Development Academy, it will create a pathway of excellence from juniors to adults alongside study.
The programme is hosted at Wakefield College with the RFL overseeing quality assurance to ensure the standards are high and professional. It's not just turn up and play sessions (although that option is available at the college), they are well planned sessions in accordance with Wakefield Trinity's skills matrix and long term development plan. It includes Strength & Conditioning sessions, analysis work, physiotherapy, rehab and injury prevention, psychology and nutrition workshops.
The sessions are done in line with TASS (Talented Athlete Scholarship Scheme) in which Wakefield College again were the first in the country to qualify for. TASS is a benchmark of education providers offering dual careers to athletes and providing opportunities for students to compete at the highest level they can (even if in college hours) and receiving the appropriate support to catch up, keep up and strive ahead of the group.
The move is a really exciting partnership and project to grow the game in the area and be a world leader within the sport.
To get involved with the Women & Girls' Development Academy as a player, volunteer or supporter please contact Ben Severn on b.severn@wakefield.ac.uk for more information or come along to our open day on Wednesday 17 October, 5pm-7pm at City Campus, Margaret Street, Wakefield, WF1 2DH.

Time to Try Tiger Trout
Photo courtesy Idaho Dept. of Fish and Game
By HOLLY ENDERSBY
Deer Creek Reservoir, a 75-five-acre lake 10 miles north of Pierce, Idaho, is a mecca for tiger trout angling. These sterile hybrids of brown and brook trout add another dimension to trout fishing and are a conservation success story.
In 2006, Idaho Department of Fish and Game biologists became aware of golden shiners showing up in the reservoir. These nonnative fish ate so much plankton that brook and brown trout were literally being starved out.
The IDFG used rotenone to kill the invasive fish in the reservoir in 2006 and 2010, but to their dismay, shiners just kept showing up.
Golden shiners are native to the Mississippi River drainage, where they are often used as bait for large mouth bass. They can be bought on line, kept in live wells, and, unfortunately, dumped out at the end of a fishing day. How these fish got into Idaho waters is a mystery, but they seem to be here to stay.
When rotenone didn't effectively curb the golden shiner population, biologists began investigating other controls.
Enter the tiger trout.
These trout are natural predators of golden shiners, and, while they won't completely eliminate the invasive fish, they have proven to be an effective population inhibitor.
According to IDFG fisheries biologist Robert Hand, the tiger trout makes for an excellent sport fishing experience.
"They are a gorgeous fish with beautiful coloration," he said. "They hit a lure hard but are pretty easy to land."
Hand also said the first attempt to introduce tiger trout was less than satisfactory.
"We first stocked the reservoir with hatchery-raised, 3-inch tiger trout, and most ended up being eaten by shiners," he said. "So, in June 2016, we stocked with 8- to 12-inch fish and got a good retention rate."
These bigger fish immediately began eating golden shiners as their major food source.
"Tiger Trout are voracious, aggressive feeders, and they grow fast," explained Hand. "Not only do they control the golden shiner population, they provide a great experience for anglers."
As a bonus, Hand said these trout are especially tasty.
The IDFG typically stocks tiger trout in early June with the current preferred size of 10- to 13-inch juveniles.
The state record for tiger trout came from Deer Creek Reservoir, with a nice 22-incher.
"But there are plenty of 16- to 17-inch fish for anglers to land," added Hand.
He recommends using spinners and spoons or flies with streamers, using gold or silver colors to imitate the shiners that tiger trout love to gobble up.
Bait, apparently, doesn't work as well, so you can leave the worms at home.
A nice feature of Deer Creek Reservoir is its accessibility for anglers with limited mobility. A trail goes all around the reservoir, lined with pit toilets and picnic tables. Two docks are completely handicap accessible. The reservoir, however, has no overnight camping, so plan on camping elsewhere.
The beautiful mountain scenery around Deer Creek is an added bonus to a great day fishing for tiger trout, so grab that rod and give landing a tiger trout a try. ISI

Ted Nugent Says He's Been Trying To Reach Out Bruce Springsteen But Bruce Is Avoiding Him
Eren Merdan GursoyMarch 25, 20212 mins read
Veteran rock musician Ted Nugent talked about his relationship with Bruce Springsteen during a recent appearance on Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon.
In the conversation, Ted was saying that he really loves Bruce Springsteen even though they had really different political thoughts because he paid his tribute to Ted's musical hero Mitch Ryder.
In fact, Ted has been trying to reach out to Bruce because of that. However, Ted revealed that Springsteen has been ignoring himself and not answering his calls at all.
While Ted was saying that they have a common ground with Bruce Springsteen on the musical side, he also pointed out that Bruce wouldn't think they have common ground because of the political differences.
Here is what Ted Nugent said:
"I love Wayne Kramer, I love Tom Morello, I even love Bruce Springsteen. I've never met him, but he paid homage to Mitch Ryder by performing 'Jenny Take a Ride' with the E Street Band.
And I've been trying to reach out to Bruce Springsteen because even though we're completely opposite politically – I'm right, he's wrong.
But if he paid tribute to my prime musical influence and hero Mitch Ryder in the Detroit Wheels – Johnny Bee Badanjek on drums, Jimmy McCarty on guitar, Earl Elliott on bass, and Joe Kubert on 335 rhythm guitar."
"I could name every lick, every amp, everything they did – but Bruce Springsteen knew that, celebrated it, and promoted it. That's what I did!
So we have to have some common ground there, but I have a funny feeling that a guy like Bruce wouldn't think there's the common ground because I believe in freedom, I believe in work ethic, I believe in sacrifice and risk to be in the asset column.
And obviously, he does, in the application, but he supports policies that are against that. So I could share a ginger ale if he wants to have, a beer, or whatever he wants. But they avoid me, and I can't really explain in meaningful terms why."

Two years ago, my father spent three months house ridden and in need of a serious operation on his leg.
The cause? He fell off a boat.
I remember him calling to say he was on his way to the hospital, but not to worry. So I didn't. Not until about a month later, when I saw how depressed he was just sitting on the couch, hating that he couldn't work, let alone walk.
Now, spoiler alert: Yes, my dad was drunk when he fell. He was on a boat with other adults who were drinking, in theory increasing his chance of falling. He's since recovered, but I'm never comfortable when he gets on a boat or rides a jet ski.
In the years prior to and after his accident, I heard several stories about people who'd been seriously injured or died in boating accidents, usually as a result of drunkenness. My friend's father tragically died that way, while in at the helm of a boat.
My dad was lucky. Miami-Dade County was ranked second in the nation, with 67 total boating accidents, by the 2016 Florida Fish Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's Reportable Boating Accidents report. That year, seven people died, 37 were injured and approximately $438,000 of property damage was caused.
A possible cause, aside from residents being so close to the water, is several popular waterfront bars and restaurants where boaters can dock, drink and return to the water without a second look.
One bar, The Wharf Miami, located on the Miami River, spans 30,000 square feet and includes food trucks, patio and riverside seating areas and three bars. The bar's dockmaster, Jordan Garcia, said that though he can't attest to whether the social boating industry has grown in recent years, he believes businesses like the one he works for created a niche for social boaters.
"It's kind of a classier, safer version of the multiple boat parties we've all been to offshore," he said.
Garcia said the bar, which is open only on weekends, was created in response to the Miami food and drink industry, and that business is booming because of it.
Boats big and small pull up to the bar's 250-foot dock to enjoy cocktails, VIP bottle service, music and food.
Liza Santana, the bar's publicist, said they take the safety of their attendees very seriously.
"Although the venue is quite large, and it would be impossible to monitor everyone's consumption, we do have officers constantly on duty to ensure no one gets violent or inappropriate," she said.
Santana said many boats that come to the bar have captains. She cited only one incident, in which a 40-foot boat crashed into another 22-foot boat as a result of intoxication.
Most accidents The Wharf sees, she said, are just patrons falling into the water or trying to jump on or off a boat from the dock.
"In cases like those, we have two dockmasters who are medically trained, as well as safety rings, a hook, hypothermia blankets and first aid kits," she said.
Other waterfront bars and restaurants such as Seaspice Miami, Kiki on the River, and American Social Brickell declined to comment on this story.Santana said the bar does not allow children onto the premises after sundown and works closely with the FWC, Miami-Dade Marine Patrol and the Coast Guard in the event that something does happen on the water.
Alcohol consumption factors into a third of all recreational boating fatalities, according to the U.S. Coast Guard. Unlike alcohol-related driving offenses, drivers found guilty of a BUI offense (Boating Under the Influence) are not subject to confiscation or suspension of their boating license. They receive a hefty fine or a minimum jail sentence in severe cases.
Florida law states that a BUI conviction does not impact an offender's driving privileges and that even minors as young as 14 can operate a vessel without adult supervision.
Traci Alvarez, a lieutenant commander in the U.S. Coast Guard, said the reason for the lack of BUI license revocation is because there is no license requirement for recreational boating.
Drinking while boating has always been a problem, she said.
To prevent accidents from occurring, Alvarez recommends boaters of all ages hire designated captains for trips where they know they may consume alcohol.
She also stressed one more invaluable tool while out on the water: safety equipment. Cell phone service is not dependable while on the water, so it's vital to take the necessary precautions.


Spartan 004, report for duty.
Everyone knows the place to be is somewhere like Reach. Imaging walking around in your two ton slab of steel riddled with the most advanced technology known to human-kind. No damage, no fear. Everything about that life sounds appealing. Imagine the adrenaline filled battles and the victorious triumph of slaying hordes of aliens. This life is particularly appealing to me because I grew up in a family that values honor. Come on, who wouldn't want to carry have the strength and speed of a spartan tearing into Elites? Not only that, but you are feared by the enemy and revered by your fellow comrades. Of course there would be the threat of danger everywhere you went, but what's life without a little bit of uncertainty? The top secret missions and access to top notch military technology.
This live action teaser trailer was definitely the most epic thing that I have ever seen for a videogame. If the actual story and world of Halo hadn't enticed me enough, this trailer definitely launched it higher. Living in the Halo universe could quite possibly be the greatest thing ever, provided it were possible. Who knows? Maybe the future holds a similar outcome for my own wishes.

Prince William fully supported Prince Harry's public announcement about girlfriend Meghan Markle despite rumours to the contrary, The Telegraph has reported.
The Duke of Cambridge reportedly gave his younger brother his blessing before the controversial statement was released earlier this month.
In it, the Palace issued a statement on the way Prince Harry's new girlfriend, the American actress Meghan Markle, had been treated after news of their relationship broke, referring to 'social media trolls'.
The strongly worded statement finished with a request for greater privacy with the lines: 'This is not a game – it is her life and his'.
According to The Telegraph, the two brothers had a 'heart-to-heart conversation', during which Prince William agreed that an official statement should be made about Prince Harry's relationship with Ms Markle.
Isn't it lovely to see two brothers supporting each other?

A national symposium on the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy will be held Duquesne University in Pittsburgh on October 17-19, 2013. Called "Passing the Torch," this event is definitely worth attending.
The event, sponsored by the Cyril Wecht Institute of Forensic Science and Law, is billed as a follow-up to a conference that they held on the 40th anniversary of JFK's assassination, which was the single most impressive gathering of legal and scientific experts on the JFK story that I have ever seen.
As the JFK assassination and many of its witnesses, investigators and researchers begin to recede into history, this symposium is intended in large part to interest and inform young people from the Pittsburgh region, across the country and beyond about one of the seminal events of 20th century American history, and why it still matters today.
I went to the 40th anniversary of the JFK assassination held at Duquesne exactly 10 years ago. It was outstanding. I even bought the DVD set of the conference. If you can go to a single conference, I would suggest you go to this one. Cyril Wecht and company know how to throw a conference.


WASHINGTON — In what's usually a slow political month, television viewers have been bombarded this July with reminders of John McCain's patriotism and sensitivity to Latino voters as well as Barack Obama's energy policies and heartfelt commitment to the needy.
This summer slew of political ads is a dramatic change from past presidential campaigns.
"In the old days — pre-Internet and pre-24 hour cable news — nobody campaigned until after Labor Day, other than local candidates making county fair appearances and Fourth of July parade marching," said Kim Gregson, an assistant professor of communication at Ithaca College in Ithaca, N.Y.
"We assumed voters were busy outdoors in the summer," she said, "doing family stuff."
Two other general-audience McCain ads are running. "God's Children" praises the role of immigrants in American life. "Love" plays on cultural differences, showing Vietnam War protesters in the late 1960s and recalling how, at the same time, McCain was "Shot Down. Bayoneted. Tortured" in Vietnam.
Obama is also all over the airwaves.
"Dignity" describes how the Illinois senator "turned down big-money offers" in order to help families in Chicago neighborhoods "stung by job loss." He's also contrasting his energy plan with McCain's in an ad that's running in four key states.
Others have joined the ad wars. The Republican National Committee is on the air lauding McCain's "balanced" energy plan. The AFL-CIO is running a TV ad in select battleground states attacking McCain for his stand on Iraq. The Matthew 25 Network, a Christian activist group, is running an ad supporting Obama's effort to push faith-based initiatives.
The candidates badly need to create positive images. Polls routinely show that Obama is still largely unknown, while McCain is running as the candidate of a widely unpopular political party.
By reminding viewers of his military service, McCain "is trying to shore up a broad constituency" that reaches beyond Republicans, said Allan Louden, an associate professor of communication at Wake Forest University, in Winston-Salem, N.C.
Obama has to explain where he stands and show that he has the stature to be president. "He's a great unknown, and a lot of people are still trying to learn the truth about him," said David Carney, who was the White House political director under President George H.W. Bush.
The candidates are testing marketing strategies. Venit pointed out that the word "change" lurks in the background at almost every Obama rally and ad. McCain stresses his independence and military service.
"They're both building a brand," said Erwin, the ad agency head.
Gregson of Ithaca College said that was important.
"The theory says that people keep running tallies in their head. They hear something they like, and that agrees with what they already believe, and their basic belief is strengthened," she said.
Voters are paying unusual attention to the campaign. A Pew Research Center survey released last week found that 72 percent of voters had given "a lot of thought" to the election, up from 58 percent at this point in 2004 and 46 percent in 2000.
"It's amazing how much people know," Louden said. "With information moving so quickly, ads are a way of not only reinforcing images the campaigns want to promote, but countering negatives."
"This is an act and react business," Erwin said. "When you build a brand, you can't let somebody else take away from that building process."Last week, after the RNC ran an ad blasting Obama for offering "no new solutions" to the energy crisis, Obama struck back, saying that he has a comprehensive plan.
Later in the week, after the RNC ran an ad in Virginia and Ohio charging that Obama would raise taxes on people earning "as little as" $32,000 annually, Obama launched his own ad saying that the claim was untrue.
Obama voted in March for a budget measure that would repeal many 2001 and 2003 tax cuts, meaning that many taxpayers would pay higher rates, although the resolution didn't call for higher taxes on single people who earn less than $41,500 annually or couples who make less than $83,000 in taxable income. It hasn't become law.
Obama has said that he wouldn't raise taxes on families that earn less than $250,000 a year.
The ad bombardment is expected to continue nonstop. Both camps realize, Carney said, that "if you throw enough out there, maybe one or two things will break through."

Positive feelings about race, ethnicity tied to stronger development in minority youth
by Society for Research in Child Development
The more positively minority youth feel about their ethnicity or race, the fewer symptoms of depression and emotional and behavior problems they have. That's the conclusion of a new meta-analysis summarizing 46 existing studies.
Published in the journal Child Development, the meta-analysis was conducted by researchers at Brown University, the University of Minnesota, Arizona State University, the University of Illinois at Chicago, and the University of Miami.
The researchers also found that young people who had positive feelings about their racial or ethnic identity had better social interactions and self-esteem, did well in school, and had fewer problems with drugs or alcohol.
"Ethnic and racial identity is a complex issue among minority youth. Feeling positively about ethnic or racial identity is not going to solve all the issues minority youth face, but this research shows that it clearly helps them in many ways," says Deborah Rivas-Drake, formerly at Brown University, now associate professor of psychology and education at the University of Michigan, who led the meta-analysis. "This research also refutes the notion that positive racial or ethnic identity is somehow related to having not-so-positive attitudes toward academic achievement."
In their analysis, the researchers sought to determine how ethnic-racial affect—that is, how an individual feels about his or her ethnicity or race—is related to well-being, distress, health risk, and academic adjustment in youth; most previous research in this area has focused only on psychological outcomes. They also looked at how links between positive ethnic-racial affect and the different outcomes varied across age and ethnic-racial groups. Together, the 46 studies they reviewed looked at African American, Latino, Asian American and Pacific Islander, and American Indian youth in the United States, primarily middle and high school students.
"Our findings show that the positive associations between ethnic-racial affect and key outcomes function similarly across groups of children differing in age, gender, and particular ethnic-racial categories," adds Rivas-Drake. "Young people who are exposed to experiences that promote positive feelings about their ethnic or racial heritage—such as when minority parents teach their children about their ethnic heritage or instill pride in their race—may reap not only psychological benefits but also greater commitment and connection to academics. They may also have less risk of unhealthy behaviors such as smoking and drug use, all of which have important long-term implications for health, well-being, and economic opportunity."

Earlier today, Apple got around to releasing the first beta of iOS 12.1 to developers. The beta release comes just a day after the company released the first build of iOS 12 to the public. Despite only containing Group FaceTime and no other major changes, the beta release was a hefty one in terms of size.
Well, turns out apart from confirming landscape support for Face ID, iOS 12.1 beta all but confirms that Apple plans to unveil its 2018 iPad Pro next month. There's a new identifier for "2018 fall" iPad in the Setup process that's new as a part of the iOS 12.1 beta.
Apple is definitely working on a refreshed iPad Pro lineup which it plans to launch this year. The new iPad Pro lineup will feature thinner bezels, faster internals with more RAM, and completely do away with the home button and the 3.5mm headphone jack. The Touch ID button duties will be taken over by Face ID which will be updated to work in landscape orientation as well.
Reputed analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also claimed that the 2018 iPad Pro lineup will come with a USB-C connector and an 18W fast charger. This has not been confirmed from any other source so far, but if true, it could really give the whole USB-C ecosystem a huge boost in terms of adoption and accessory development.
Are you looking forward to Apple's upcoming iPad Pro lineup with Face ID?

Q: Achieving FTP/SFTP without 3rd party dll with FtpWebRequest if possible in C# I am trying to achieve the ftp/sftp through FtpWebRequest class in C# but not succeeded till now.
I dont want to use any 3rd party free or paid dll.
credentials are like

*

*hostname = sftp.xyz.com

*userid   = abc

*password  = 123

I am able to achieve the ftp with Ip address but unable to acheive sftp for above hostname with credentials.
For sftp I have enabled the EnableSsl property of FtpWebRequest class to true but getting error unable to connect to remote server.
I am able to connect with Filezilla with the same credentials and hostname but not through code.
I observed filezilla, it changes the host name from sftp.xyz.com to sftp://sftp.xyz.com
in textbox and in command line it changes the userid to abc@sftp.xyz.com
I have done the same in code but not succeeded for sftp.
Please need urgent help on this. Thanks in advance.
Below is my code so far:
private static void ProcessSFTPFile()
{
    try
    {
        string[] fileList = null;
        StringBuilder result = new StringBuilder();

        string uri = "ftp://sftp.xyz.com";

        FtpWebRequest ftpRequest = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(new Uri(uri));
        ftpRequest.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectoryDetails;
        ftpRequest.EnableSsl = true;
        ftpRequest.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("abc@sftp.xyz.com", "123");
        ftpRequest.UsePassive = true;
        ftpRequest.Timeout = System.Threading.Timeout.Infinite;

        //ftpRequest.AuthenticationLevel = Security.AuthenticationLevel.MutualAuthRequested;
        //ftpRequest.Proxy = null;
        ftpRequest.KeepAlive = true;
        ftpRequest.UseBinary = true;

        //Hook a callback to verify the remote certificate
        ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = new RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(ValidateServerCertificate);
        //ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = ((sender, certificate, chain, sslPolicyErrors) => true);

        FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)ftpRequest.GetResponse();
        StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
        string line = reader.ReadLine();
        while (line != null)
        {
            result.Append("ftp://sftp.xyz.com" + line);
            result.Append("\n");
            line = reader.ReadLine();
        }

        if (result.Length != 0)
        {
            // to remove the trailing '\n'
            result.Remove(result.ToString().LastIndexOf('\n'), 1);

            // extracting the array of all ftp file paths
            fileList = result.ToString().Split('\n');
        }

    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message.ToString());
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

public static bool ValidateServerCertificate(object sender, X509Certificate certificate, X509Chain chain, SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors)
{
    if (certificate.Subject.Contains("CN=sftp.xyz.com"))
    {
        return true;
    }
    else
    {
        return false;
    }
}

A: FTP can be accomplished with .NET alone. There is no built in class for SFTP though. I would recommend taking a look at WinSCP.

A: Agreed with Tejs. Just to clarify:
FtpWebRequest with EnableSsl = true means it's ftps, Explicit mode, or in Filezilla wording: "FTPES - FTP over Explicit TLS/SSL, default port 21". You can do this with the built-in .net stuff.
For Implicit ftps (in Filezilla wording "FTPS - FTP over Implicit TLS/SSL, default port 990") you have to use a 3rd party (example ftps.codeplex.com).
For sftp (in Filezilla wording "SSH File Transfer Protocol, default port 22") you also have to use 3rd party (example sshnet.codeplex.com).
As  Joachim Isaksson says, if you can't use 3rd parties, you have to implement it yourself.

A: UPDATE:
If using BizTalk, you can work with the SFTP Adapter, using the ESB Toolkit. It has been supported since 2010. One wonders why it didn't make it to the .Net Framework

*

*BizTalk Server 2013: Creating Custom Adapter Provider in ESB Toolkit SFTP As an Example

*BizTalk Server 2013: How to use SFTP Adapter

*MSDN Docs
--
Unfortunately, it still requires alot of work to do with just the Framework currently. Placing the sftp protocol prefix isnt enough to make-it-work Still no built-in, .Net Framework support today, maybe in the future.
---------------------------------------------------------
1) A good library to try out is SSHNet.
---------------------------------------------------------
It has:

*

*a lot more features, including built-in streaming support.

*an API document

*a simpler API to code against

Example code from documentation:
List directory
/// <summary>
/// This sample will list the contents of the current directory.
/// </summary>
public void ListDirectory()
{
    string host            = "";
    string username        = "";
    string password        = "";
    string remoteDirectory = "."; // . always refers to the current directory.

    using (var sftp = new SftpClient(host, username, password))
    {
        sftp.Connect();

        var files = sftp.ListDirectory(remoteDirectory);
        foreach (var file in files)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(file.FullName);
        }
    }
}

Upload File
/// <summary>
/// This sample will upload a file on your local machine to the remote system.
/// </summary>
public void UploadFile()
{
    string host           = "";
    string username       = "";
    string password       = "";
    string localFileName  = "";
    string remoteFileName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(localFile);

    using (var sftp = new SftpClient(host, username, password))
    {
        sftp.Connect();

        using (var file = File.OpenRead(localFileName))
        {
            sftp.UploadFile(remoteFileName, file);
        }

        sftp.Disconnect();
    }
}

Download File
/// <summary>
/// This sample will download a file on the remote system to your local machine.
/// </summary>
public void DownloadFile()
{
    string host           = "";
    string username       = "";
    string password       = "";
    string localFileName  = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(localFile);
    string remoteFileName = "";

    using (var sftp = new SftpClient(host, username, password))
    {
        sftp.Connect();

        using (var file = File.OpenWrite(localFileName))
        {
            sftp.DownloadFile(remoteFileName, file);
        }

        sftp.Disconnect();
    }
}

---------------------------------------------------------
2) Another alternative library is WinSCP
---------------------------------------------------------
With the follwing example:
using System;
using WinSCP;

class Example
{
    public static int Main()
    {
        try
        {
            // Setup session options
            SessionOptions sessionOptions = new SessionOptions
            {
                Protocol = Protocol.Sftp,
                HostName = "example.com",

Caspar Abel (Hindenburg, 14 de julio de 1676 - Westdorf, cerca de Aschersleben, 11 de enero de 1763) fue un teólogo, predicador, poeta e historiador alemán. Fue autor de obras históricas, satíricas y poéticas.

Biografía
Su padre, Joachim Abel(1642-1710), fue ministro protestante.

Estudió teología en la Universidad Martin Luther de Halle-Wittenberg. En 1696 se convirtió en profesor y más tarde en rector en Osterburg, y en 1698 entró como profesor en la Johannisschule (Escuela de San Juan) en Halberstadt, cargo que mantuvo durante más de veinte años. Después, siguió sus estudios en la Escuela de San Martín en Brunswick, y en la Universidad de Helmstedt (1696), donde intentaría formarse en Derecho, a lo que tuvo que renunciar por verse obligado a convertirse en pastor (1718) de la Iglesia de San Jorge, en Westdorf, cargo que habría de ocupar hasta su muerte en 1763. Llegaría a producir más de treinta y dos obras.

Su obra sobre la monarquía en el mundo antiguo, fue considerada esencial en el tema por Gottfried Leibniz en razón de los puntos de vista allí enunciados, lo cual lo decidiría a publicar una edición de la misma en latín, como lo exigía el rigor académico entonces, su "Historia monarchiarum Orbis antiqui", en 1718.

De 1748 a 1764 tuvo por colaborador a Johann Gottfried Bürger(1706-1764), padre del poeta alemán Gottfried August Bürger.
