Politicians, of all hues, in all countries, will do anything to get exposure.
This isn't a new thing. This isn't a FG thing, and it isn't a Varadkar thing.
Adama March 5, 2018 at 11:50 am
Seriously yes.
You're right, politicians everywhere will do anything to get exposure but Varadkar's becoming a serial social media flasher. He'll be so exposed shortly there'll be nothing left of him.
There is a concerted effort by the SCU to plonk his mush everywhere. This effort makes the days of Bertie look like amateur hour. The recent revelations on the blurring of lines between advertorials and genuine news copy is only another symptom of this. Obviously this government values spin, message and presentation over all else. Probably a sign of a party hierarchy that's grown too comfortable with being in power.

"The recent revelations on the blurring of lines between advertorials and genuine news copy is only another symptom of this."
This is a massive red herring. Every local newspaper in the country takes promotion written as copy and prints it without question. If it was an actual concern to FF then they'd pull the plug on the sexless marriage that is this FF/FG coalition.

Adama March 5, 2018 at 12:21 pm
Okay – I can accept that a small local paper might, for the sake of filling copy and also to ingratiate themselves with a local TD might blur the lines between promotion and factual reporting. But national papers? No way is that acceptable. Also bear in mind that the 2040 was rolled out like a product launch along multiple media channels. This was an ass-grab of the agenda by FG. Varadkar's childish antics arguing with FF in the Dail last week only proved they were caught rapid with their hand on the press.
Cian March 5, 2018 at 12:33 pm
"Varadkar's childish antics arguing with FF in the Dail last week "
Do you mean when he produced the 2006 FF strategy that was 'promoted' in the exact same way?
steve white March 5, 2018 at 1:09 pm
and it really becomes a problem when the papers start accepting money to do that
Adama March 5, 2018 at 1:17 pm
Yes Cian – I mean exactly that. It doesn't matter to me which party did what to when to who first. It doesn't and shouldn't set a precedent for succeeding administrations to continue in the same vein. FF and FG are shades of the same colour politically. However with FG there is a much more hardened cynicism when it comes to matters of spin, public perception and presentation. Varadkar revealed himself last week clashing with FF over the 2040 plan. For a brief moment you got to see the real Leo. Also apparently (according to Ellen Coyne of the IT) the SCU is now 'distracting from the business of Government' and may be scrapped.
Cian March 5, 2018 at 1:34 pm
Adama, Bertie "smoke and daggers" Ahern was the master of spin – he spun his way through 11 years as Taoiseach. Never gave a straight answer to anything.
He did-does that make Leo's behaviour acceptable then? No it doesn't.
ReproBertie March 5, 2018 at 2:07 pm
Does it, perhaps, explain why FG see no issue in following Bertie's lead?
Politicians be politicking.
Adama – you're the one making is personal against Leo and FG.
Is it acceptable that Leo poses in a photograph with Dublin Fire Brigade? Yes – he is highlighting the amazing work that they were doing last week.
Explain why you think it's not acceptable.
Now Cian I'm not referring specifically to that picture. I'm talking about the wider implications of Leo and the SCU. But If you want a comment on the pic it's of course commendable that Leo would thank hard-working public servants for their tireless and underpaid work.
If its the wider 'spin' implications – why are you limiting your ire to Leo and the SCU? Surely it would be fairer to include the pervious governments too?

So when politicians do nothing, you complain.
When they do something, you complain
When they do a lot of something, you complain.

But that looked like a grab for soft, uncritical publicity. TBH I was surprised to see them reprise the 'man of action' ruse given that it had failed dismally on the housing/ homeless issue.
It seems to me that they both need some PR guidance.
LuvinLunch March 5, 2018 at 11:29 am
I'd like to see him visiting some homeless people. He can tell them what he told the Dail. Homelessness is no worse here than in other countries.
Then he can tell them about the 21K pay rise he gave himself in December

Meanwhile brexit gets closer and closer and no back up plan and our worst crises with clueless SCUM

No backup plan to Brexit? I suggest you pick yourself up a copy of Tony Connelly's book. Ireland has been planning for this for longer and in more detail then the idiots in Westminster. Just because they're not parading their "worst case scenario" plan doesn't mean there isn't one.

Peter Collins – New EP coming soon!
You can always stay connected via Facebook!
I'm usually watching from afar but I wanted to show respect to something that isn't talked about often.
S I N G L E – F A T H E R S: There's a special place in my heart for men who recognize the importance of raising them children, with or without a traditional family unit. I can tell these men strive to excel in the roles of fatherhood.
So often we hear about the men who don't "step up" or take the easy way out but for the last year or so, I've witnessed the most incredible display of love and affection. Not that there aren't many other fathers that flood my timeline – and trust it does not go unnoticed – but these 4 gentlemen have all stuck a cord with me one way or another.
I choose to highlight these 4 Kings who have different amazing stories yet have the same foundation of the love for their children. Although sometimes it seems as though parenting is hard to maintain, they don't allow stumbling blocks to interfere with spending quality time and raising their children. I have yet interviewed these men one on one, but I'm quite sure their stories, in depth, are compelling and inspirational. Just from the posts on social media outlets I have seen, these 4 men go above and beyond to highlight their love for their children.
What was this dream really about?!
The dream takes place at a two story bar. The stage is really elevated. From the main door, you walk into an open floor. I never saw chairs and tables. I assume they were under what appeared to be a balcony. I saw darkness so I'm not sure.
I'm in another city (outside of Atlanta) and Tall Rick is teaching a class. For some reason, people are standing in a corner of this stage waiting for the class to start. Initially, I start chatting with the attendees, seeming to be the "youngin" as usual. I see Drew "Walkin'" (the dance style) the floor alone. I walked over to him and start talking. He stops me and says "uh uh, Tall Rick wants us to feel the music. So I try and mimic Drew but I had a wardrobe malfunction with my jeans lol. I walk off the stage to fix my pants. When I go to return someone approaches Tall Rick with a money transaction so he goes to figure that out. He writes a check out (I'll omit the amount) and goes to the offices located through and hallway on the right of the stage and I've realized I've lost my chance for this one on one he was giving Drew. It seemed anyone was free to jump in but they were over to the side as if they were waiting for permission or for class to officially start. I couldn't remember the music Drew was dancing to but when I woke up [this song: Song: Emotions "Don't Ask my Neighbor"] was in my head.
1. Before going to sleep, I saw Drew posting info about his new Dallas classes.
2. The SugaBabies and I were talking, Sunday, about how we missed Tall Rick's birthday event this past weekend.
This was dreamed on November 22nd 2:29am.
First! Thank you for wanting to hear what I have to say!
Whew, where do I begin? There are so many routes that I could take you on to get to where I am today! Well, I guess let's start with the basics. I'm a native of Atlanta, grew up in the late 80, raised by both parents (who are still married), and grew up with 4 siblings.
Education. Using a few words, elementary school – "Teacher's Pet" (I actually miss those that I went to school with) , Middle school – diversity/exposure was introduced, high school – the rough years, and undergrad – "found myself." I've always been the chick that know of a lot of people but could only call a few friends. Can't really say I was the most popular or coolest for that matter. Those that I hung out with were a part of my church. I grew up heavily in church and have always had that foundation. God has always dealt with me through my friendships with others, so most of my young adulthood was me learning that "reason, season, lifetime" thing. Once I graduated and this is from any school, I never really kept in touch with many people. I tend to deal with in the present. From time to time, I'd catch up with a few people, but nothing lasting. I can count on one hand the people that I actually keep in touch with from any school that I have attended. Don't get me wrong, I had a great childhood. I had great friendship in each season of my child/young adulthood.
One thing, I dealt with, though, was bullying. Not the bullying, children today have to endeavor, but bullying nonetheless. I was teased about my weight (never have been thin), and about my opinions (never followed the crowd.) I was often called a "hater" cause I wouldn't just go with the flow so I struggled internally. That struggle started to eat at my self-esteem. Being a teenager and struggling with self-esteem is difficult, but I am really grateful for this testimony because it's my make up of the woman I've become. I didn't confide in my parents much about it. Don't really have a reason for that. I do remember praying to God after my 9th grade year, asking him to remove the drama from my life. From tenth grade on, life was a bit better. As far as self-esteem, it took prayer, taking value in my thoughts and opinion, even if it wasn't the most popular route to take, and accepting myself to successful gain high self-esteem. I remember after college, I came home (to Atlanta), I was confronted with a situation that taught me that GROWN people struggle with low self-esteem. I always thought it was something that EVERYBODY mastered by adulthood. So I then after I took my lesson as a blessing because now I can others see the value in themselves as an adult.
Since college, I've received a undergrad, I've received a Master's (International Business), two certificates (Event Planning and TESOL), and am currently seeking a career in teaching English as a Second Language. I've done social media marketing for some of the most brilliant musicians, creative arts professionals, and business gurus around. I even picked up a little thing called dancing.
Now dance, which I could talk about all day, is fairly new in my life. I've only been in the "dance world" (as we like to call it) for 5 years. I picked up dance because it looked classy and I've never been a club goer. I remember my mother had a co-worker who used to sent my flyers to come learn with them. On the flyer, it stated, "no partner needed" but somehow I convinced myself I needed a partner so that would prolong me attending a class. It wasn't until September 2011, I went to a local STIR event, which showcased many creative art forms, where I saw "1 STEP ABOVE." They were doing a demo of Detroit Ballroom, Chicago-style Steppin, and Line Dancing. Although I didn't participate, I watch on as I saw these young professionals enjoying themselves. I remember sitting down to look up when their class met. I was in class that Wednesday and the rest is history. After 6 months of classes, I finally went out to a Detroit Ballroom event.This was a whole new world. I was so intimidated, yet intrigued. Being the shy person that I am (many would like to differ), I was so scared that I'd mess up and men wouldn't want to dance with me. After a while, I noticed that though I was shy about getting on the floor, I would keep coming out and learning in class as well as on the dance floor. Eventually, I realized this was the most consistent thing I had ever stuck with. I've been embarrassed and I still didn't let that stop me from getting better.
Now I am heavily into Chicago Stepping, more than the other dance styles I've learned over the years. I travel (probably a little more than I should) but it has literally taken me out of my shell and introduced me to LIFE! Although I'm a baby compared to others in my Steppin family, they take many forms in my life, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, cousins, and great friends. Among working with a girl's mentoring program, church, work, and family, dance keeps me sane, balanced, grounded, and is a major outlet. My friendships I have now with those I dance with are probably the longest relationship I've had to date. (Being that we see each other at least once to four times a week.
I'm proud of my story and I'm excited to embrace the next chapters.


Did the recent burst of unseasonal sunny weather trick you into thinking that it was already summer? Did you wonder where the year was racing away to and how you were going to find the time to put your Customer Experience Resolutions into practice?
Never fear – it was a mere meteorological fluke! It's only March and there is still plenty of time to embrace the five CX habits that CX Leaders have proven to be the most effective route to CX success.
We've already talked about defining goals and business outcomes and urged greater focus on innovation and action.
Now, I'd like to emphasise the importance of capturing more than one voice and integrating it with data from different sources.
As you would expect from our research into the 'Habits of highly effective CX professionals', the overwhelming majority (87%) of respondents actively capture the Voice of the Customer. Those who don't capture VoC do capture the Voice of the Employee or, at the very least, ask their employees for feedback on the Customer Experience.
You won't be surprised to hear, then, that the most commonly collected two voices are customer and employee (42%). For us, this is all great news! But the million-dollar question is whether companies are able to integrate the resulting analysis.
In our experience, organisations that do capture feedback from both customers and employees often struggle with integration. This is particularly true with more mature programmes where entirely different methodologies have been used by the HR and CX teams, and where data has been gathered into separate, departmental silos.
Now, I'm not suggesting that all forms of feedback collection must be owned by the same team but I would encourage CX Leaders to ensure that these teams work together and that goals are aligned. We've found that great CX is only delivered when ownership is shared across the business and is not seen as the responsibility of a single – usually small – CX team.
It's for this reason that we were particularly impressed to find out that while the majority of respondents were only listening to one voice, a significant minority were listening to four stakeholder groups – such as partners and supplier. The groups all form part of the overall customer experience ecosystem so it's great to see them being included.
I think this marks a very promising move towards a more comprehensive approach to CX where listening to multiple voices increasingly becomes the norm. It confirms what we know to be true: to build a truly 360° view of the customer experience, you need to connect feedback from multiple sources.
While our research found that CX Leaders are likely to be confident that they have the customer or employee journey fully covered by their programmes, many of those interviewed admitted that they were still struggling to capture certain CX touchpoints. Specifically, in-store and in-app feedback, as well as non-purchase and exit surveys to capture the experiences of noncustomers.
Multiple voices enriched with operational insights is the most effective way to provide the depth and context to your business understanding, and to deliver the comprehensive approach to CX that I mentioned earlier. It's for this reason that 48% of respondents currently bring in some sort of financial data to their analysis, while 70% include some form of operational data.
The search is quite rightly for nuggets of gold hiding in stacks of Big Data numbers but, as with the different voices, it's the integration of different sources that causes issues.
The research showed that overall only around a quarter of respondents were able to effectively integrate multiple sources of data. However, for those classed as CX Leaders, this number jumped to 56%. There's no way around it – data integration is at the heart of a successful and comprehensive approach to CX.
This undeniable truth begs the question that if multiple data sources and effective integration are so important – why are companies still failing to do this?
Budget: this is something we would hope to see change as actions – no matter how small – are taken and help to prove the value of the programme.
Lack of a clear view: often CX teams believe that are the only team collecting feedback. In most cases, they are wrong! A company-wide listening audit is a useful way to understand all the surveys and sources out there so you can begin to rationalise and align.
Cross-team buy-in: There's a danger with CX that the rest of the company thinks that the customer experience as a whole is "someone else's job". CX teams need to become a CX coach to the rest of the business, supplying insight and support, but not trying to own everything.
Legacy systems: Something technology exacerbates silos. Mapping data sources, understanding how and where information is stored, and working closely with cross-functional teams can help to untangle that chaos.
It's something of a chicken and egg situation but, in our view, the answer must surely lie in driving change to ensure that ROI is realised and investment increased. My top tip – connect, don't collect. Gathering more data is fine, but connecting what you have will uncover more that you imagine.

Australian footballer and Bahraini refugee Hakeem al-Araibi is expected to return home to Australia within hours after Thailand's Attorney-General officially dropped Bahrain's extradition case last night.
According to the ABC, Prime Minister Scott Morrison has confirmed that the 25-year-old Pascoe Vale defender, who had spent more than two months in detention in Bangkok awaiting an extradition hearing, was last night on his way to Bangkok Airport for a flight home. Former Socceroos captain and public face of the #FreeHakeem movement Craig Foster has thanked Thailand's Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha for upholding the international rule of law and plans to meet al-Araibi when he flies into Melbourne today.
Labor faces the first parliamentary sitting day of the year with a compromised position on Kerryn Phelps' medical transfer legislation, after its caucus agreed to three negotiating principles last night ahead of a lower house vote today.
According to The Guardian, Labor agreed to broaden proposed ministerial discretion over medical transfers, reduce the Home Affairs minister's 24-hour window to issue a decision, and ensure the procedures only apply to current detainees on Manus Island and Nauru. Labor leader Bill Shorten, who reportedly signalled plans with Labor's caucus to clean up the last major backflip on encryption legislation, will have to renegotiate with the crossbench if it hopes to deliver the Coalition an historic loss in the House.
Former Queensland assistant health minister Chris Davis has been awarded more than $1.4 million in damages after he was overlooked for a senior position at Metro North Hospital and Health Service three months after his spectacular falling out with then-QLD premier Campbell Newman.
The Brisbane Times reports that Davis has argued in the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal that he had been discriminated against when, despite being the only qualified geriatrician of two applicants, no recruitment procedure was established at the hospital and the role was ultimately withdrawn. Davis had earlier that year quit politics after being dumped from cabinet for speaking out against Newman's doctor contracts and Crime and Misconduct Commission amendments.
It's for a parliamentary purpose which is to campaign against a piece of policy.

Ecological Modelling Research Group Research Study Sites
One of the great things about James Cook University, for folks who want to work in tropical marine systems, is its access to field sites, including well-equipped field stations on the Great Barrier Reef.
Orpheus Island
Orpheus Island Research Station (OIRS) is managed by James Cook University, is located just off of Lucinda, Queensland in the Palm Island Group. Its nearness to the University means it's easy and inexpensive to get to (a couple of hours by car and ferry), and close enough for last minute deliveries. OIRS has been the location for some of our research on the larval and dispersal ecological of corals, and the physiology and energetics of corals.
Lizard Island Research Station (LIRS) can be reached from JCU in a few hours, by way of two short flights. Managed by the Australian Museum, LIRS has been the location for most of the group's ecological work – including the biomechanics and energetics of corals and the community ecology of corals, butterflyfishes, and damselfishes.
One Tree Island
One Tree Island (OTI) is managed by the University of Sydney and is one of the most remote research stations on the GBR. The lagoon at OTI makes this research station unique: it is completely enclosed at low tide. Although this creates some logistical headaches (work outside the lagoon must be started and finished during high tides, which sometimes limits work time to less than an hour), it also creates some unique combinations and a broad range of environmental conditions in close proximity. This makes it a good place to work on organisms' responses to environmental gradients. Thus, not surprisingly, OTI has been the location for a lot of our ecophysiological work.
Reef HQ Aquarium
ReefHQ has kindly provided space to us for recent experimental work on corals' responses to climate change.

Junior Hop Project is partially funded by the European Commission, through Erasmus + program, Action Calaborative Partnerships in sports.
Junior Hop project was born out of the passion for sports of a group of organizations that wish to tackle a European problem of children obesity by promoting voluntary activities in sport and awareness of the importance of health-enhancing physical activity through increased participation in, and equal access to, sport for all.
The coordinator of this project is the Junior Sport Association. Together with partners from Greece, Bulgaria, Turkey and the Czech Republic, we have formed a consortium in the field of junior sport, with the aim to encourage the participation of children in sports.
The project will have a duration of 12 months and is expected to involve more than 200 members of sports organizations, more than 2500 children and more than 50 youth workers in the domain of junior sport.
The Association JUNIOR SPORT, if we will find financial resources from sponsors, we will organize, starting with December 2015 JUNIOR SPORT BALL, a desired event to be held as annual edition, as the popular big charity balls, but will include a gala pool. Specifically, during the ball, 10 special prizes will be awarded to 10 junior champions / junior teams (practicing 10 different sports), whose sport performance was remarkable in the period 2014-2015. In addition, during the event, we will collect donations for the talented children whose parents do not have financial means to support them, and they already have abandoned professional sport or are on the brink of abandoning, and on the other hand, for little athletes who face serious health problems and need medical treatment and/or expensive surgery.

There is a new day spa in Wading River that's "pure" heaven. Pure is the name and it opened last fall in the King Kullen shopping center. But don't let the storefront fool you. When you walk in the front door, to the left is the reception desk and to the right is a long, very wide hallway. With its warm, yellow walls and luxurious furniture, Pure is beautifully decorated to make you feel like you are in the grand entry of a sunny, elegant mansion.
All services at Pure are used with Éminence products. I am finding more and more spas are turning to this fabulous line and for good reason. These all-natural, organic products are free of parabens, mineral oils, petroleum, animal by-products, chemicals, colorants and fragrances. And they smell good enough to eat!
The treatment room was a good size and the table was super comfortable and warm. Paula gave me my first treatment of the day, the Fruit-Foliation. First, she used a yummy pear scrub on my back and chest. Then she worked on my arms and legs, wrapping them in plastic and warm towels as she finished with each. Once I was all wrapped up like a mummy, Paula gave me a soothing head and face massage.
When I was "done," Paula unwrapped each section and cleaned off the scrub. Then came the massage with an amazing apricot body oil. This all took nearly two hours and I was so relaxed that my legs were wobbly as I moved to the facial room.
The "Celebrity" is a well-named special that included a simultaneous facial and reflexology treatment. After Terry evaluated and cleansed my face, she applied a vitamin C serum and then a blueberry soufflé mask. While waiting on the mask, Terry gave my head and face a pressure point massage. Her touch was soft and light and very soothing throughout the entire facial.
As all this was going on, keep in mind, Marie was working her reflexology magic on my hands. When she was finished, she wrapped them in plastic and hot mitts and then went to work on my feet. Reflexology is a healing art based on the principle that there are areas on the feet, hands and ears that correspond to parts of the body. Applying pressure to those spots is thought to help balance our energy, or qi (chi). It felt heavenly!
Once the mask was removed, Terry applied more serum and finished with a moisturizer/sunblock. All three women were friendly and knowledgeable and helped make the entire experience a real treat. I didn't want to leave! Check out this woman-owned spa at their new website http://www.purethespa.com.

Facebook adds support for 360-degree videos in News Feed
By Shawn Knight on September 23, 2015, 17:30
Facebook on Wednesday started rolling out 360-degree videos to users' News Feeds, the first tangible use of technology the social network acquired as part of its $2 billion purchase of Oculus VR.
The first batch of 360-degree videos consists of marketing material from publishing partners. A clip from Saturday Night Live, for example, lets viewers comb around during the opening segment of the show's 40th anniversary episode while a separate video from GoPro lets watchers enjoy the sights of Ronnie Renner jumping sand dunes in Idaho from all angles.
To interact with a video on the web, simply grab and move around the video using the mouse cursor. On a mobile device, all you need to do is move the device in the direction you want to look.
In order to capture 360-degree spherical videos, you'll need a special camera rig like the one Facebook showed off during its F8 developer conference in March. A demonstration at the time let attendees tour the company's Menlo Park headquarters using footage captured with a rig consisting of 24 cameras.
Facebook says you'll be able to watch 360-clips via News Feed on the web and on Android devices soon. Support for iOS devices is scheduled in the coming months, the company said.
The long-term goal, as Facebook hinted at, will be for regular users to capture and share their own 360-degree video. While the technology to do that does technically exist today, it probably won't be until it's implemented into smartphones before it really takes off.

It became the companion of former smokers but electronic cigarette, whatever the style, sometimes showing signs of weakness, if we do not pay attention to some details. So follow these tips to extend the life of your e- cigs.
Ladies, the electronic cigarette does not like to find in the depths of your huge handbags. Shaken, tossed in your movements, it will inevitably flee. To avoid soiling your beautiful brand bags (not to mention the smell not very nice e- liquid ), consider turning it off before storing (reminder: press the button five times, like to turn to again).
The heat is still waiting for you. It's good for morale but not for e -cigs. The e-liquids do not like too be white-hot. In short, at the beach or a terrace, avoid putting your e- cig in full sun. it alters the taste of e -liquid, the general operation and reduces the life of the Clearomizer.
You fly? The e-cig has the airsickness. Pressure changes (cabin pressurization) are not good for these devices. Upon arrival, the liquid tends to leak even if the cigarette is in "off" mode. Tip: Do not fill before takeoff.
When replacing the 3 elements of an electronic cigarette, the temptation is to tighten up. False good idea! It is better instead let the game between the capsule and the battery and the cap and tip.
If you are not interested in lines 98 , then you have already missed a lot.
For now, the number of specialized vendors grows too: Econoclope is the first store to open in Strasbourg in 2012. Both Strasbourg stalls, we must now add Haguenau, Metz and Sarreguemines. The brand also says on its website wanting to "develop other outlets". E-Cigarette, My Free Cig, Sweet & Vapes, Alsa Cigs, Vap'n Co or Break Cig'arrete also been added outlets.
"Even if the same products in the shop are found almost everywhere, everyone gets around to find customers. And as we sell very little in Strasbourg, we are not really concerned with competition. For now, I would say that everyone finds his place".
"Benoit is a friend. We will be complementary in our products: rather sell him MODs, as we sell 80% of people who discover the vape".

Q: NTLM authentication not working when using Windows.Web.HttpClient having AllowUI set false I am porting my windows 8.1 app to windows 10 uwp app.
The problem I have encountered is that old code (it is still compiling though) that uses System.Net.HttpClient throws some stupid exception when I am trying to authenticate on the server using NTLM.
"Known Windows 10 SDK error - we are fixing it." - all help from Microsoft since months.
(described by someone else here: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/9e137127-e0e5-4aec-a7a9-d66f5b84c70b/rtm-known-issue-systemnethttphttpclient-or-httpwebrequest-class-usage-in-a-uwp-app-throws-a?forum=Win10SDKToolsIssues)
The only workaround? - "Use Windows.Web.HttpClient instead"
So I am trying.
var request = new HttpRequestMessage();

request.RequestUri = MyURI;
request.Method = HttpMethod.Post;
request.Content = new HttpStringContent(MyContent);

request.Headers.Add("User-Agent", "MyApp");
request.Headers.Add("SOAPAction", "MySoapAction");
request.Content.Headers.ContentType = new HttpMediaTypeHeaderValue("text/xml; charset=utf-8");

var filter = new HttpBaseProtocolFilter();
filter.AllowAutoRedirect = true;
filter.AllowUI = true;
filter.ServerCredential = new PasswordCredential(address, username, password);

HttpClient client = new HttpClient(filter);

var response = await client.SendRequestAsync(httpMessage);

And it works! Displays ugly system popup over my app asking to enter credentials (it is already filled in - because I have set credentials in the code) - after hitting OK button response status is OK - all worked like a harm, the way it should.
So what is the problem? Problem is when I don't want to show this system popup to users.
If only I set:
filter.AllowUI = false;

all magic disappears. No popup, no authentication. Response gives 401 error. Unauthorized.
Why? What am I doing wrong? Is it possible to have NTLM authentication working fine on Windows 10 UWP apps without system popup? Another SDK issue?

A: I have a solution that is implemented similarly and it does work with NTLM. Do you have the "Enterprise Authentication" and "Internet (Client & Server)" capabilities checked and do you provide the domain with the username?

Ok, what shall I do to wear the wonderful beaded folk style Povitrulya bracelet?
Step 1. Bead your bracelet. Sew the beads on with half cross stitch. The stitches shall follow same direction so that your handiwork will look smooth and neat. Its wrong side shall only have vertical and horizontal stitches.
Step 2. Trim the corners in order to simplify seaming.
Step 3. Apply adhesive tape over the inlay lines along short sides, iron to smooth.
Now, apply adhesive tape following the inlay lines on the long sides, smooth down.
Step 4. The next step is to sew the snap on. For that purpose, mark with a pencil where you are going to place the snap, first from one part of it, and then from the other. Observe symmetry of the marks placed. Separate the snap parts and sew them, each on its respective side. There is no need to сut the thread short afterwards, it is good to keep sewing the bracelet with the same thread.
Step 5. Smooth down the long bending of the bracelet (at the borderline between the beaded side and the wrong side of the bracelet). Continue with applying the adhesive tape along the bending, smooth down over the tape. That enhances the bracelet shape and rigidity over the seamless side securing the two sides of the bracelet joined together.
Step 6. Sew the bracelet together along its margins with close stitches of a concealed seam. When sewing the short sides together, secure the bracelet snap once again.
Your bracelet is a wonderful and unique hand-made ornamentation. They cannot take their eyes off!

Divided Supreme Court Upholds Nearly All Of Texas GOP Redistricting Plan
By Charles Compton | June 25, 2018
A bitterly divided Supreme Court on Monday upheld the redrawing of congressional and state legislative maps in Texas. The decision reversed earlier court findings that intentional racial discrimination had infected the way that some statehouse and congressional districts were drawn — and came five years to the day after the high court struck down a key provision of the Voting Rights Act.
"Our legislative maps are legal"
The Texas decision comes in a case that has lasted so long and is so complicated that even election experts find it daunting to discuss. The case has pinged and ponged between two separate three-judge federal courts and the U.S. Supreme Court.
The bottom line, though, is that even though the lower court in Texas ruled that districts in and around the state's biggest cities had been drawn to minimize minority voting power, the Supreme Court only agreed with the lower court about one state legislative district, in Fort Worth.
As the state's Republican Gov. Greg Abbott gleefully tweeted Monday, "Our legislative maps are legal. Democrats lost their redistricting & Voter ID claims."
A thumb on the scale
If the ruling were just about Texas, it would be important, but not huge. The 5-4 decision, however, could have major repercussions.
Five years ago, when the court struck down a key provision of the 1965 Voting Rights Act by a similar 5-4 split, Chief Justice John Roberts downplayed the effects of the decision. Back then, he noted that there were many other provisions of the law that gave minority voters the right to sue if their voting rights were minimized.
But election expert Rick Hasen of University of California Irvine says those promises ring hollow after Monday's decision. "The court today seems to minimize the chances that these remedies are going to be effective in future cases," he said.
Calling the decision "bold" and "audacious," Hasen says that it will undoubtedly enable more suppression of minority votes. And he says the language of the decision would seem to make it far more difficult to punish a recalcitrant state by putting it back under federal supervision for the next decade — a Voting Rights Act provision the Supreme Court left intact five years ago.
"This decision is going to make it very, very difficult to put any state back under federal preclearance … by setting a standard that puts the thumb on the scale that favors states, by saying you have to presume the good faith of the legislature," Hasen added.
Loyola professor Justin Levitt agreed, saying "What any other state can take from today's decision is, 'If I intend to discriminate, a court may nip and tuck a bit, but they're not going to undo what I've done wholesale.' "
Charged language
The decision, written by Justice Samuel Alito, overruled the lower court's findings that all of the districts in question were drawn to suppress the minority vote. Alito said the lower court used the wrong standard in evaluating the districts — that it should have presumed the state acted in good faith, rather than assuming that the new district lines were an extension of previous racial gerrymandering.
Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch concurred in the decision. Expressing what Hasen called a radical position, they asserted that the Voting Rights Act does not apply to redistricting at all.
Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote a 46-page dissent lambasting the majority on behalf of the court's four liberals. The majority's "disregard for both precedent and fact comes at serious costs to our democracy," she said. "It means that after years of litigation and undeniable proof of intentional discrimination, minority voters in Texas … will continue to be underrepresented in the political process."
Even though minorities now constitute a majority of the Texas population, she said, minority voters will cast their ballots this year, and in 2020, knowing that their "vote has been burdened by the manipulation of district lines specifically designed to target their communities and minimize their political will."
NYU law professor Richard Pildes noted that Monday's opinions were in stark contrast to others this term. "The tone in most of the opinions, dissents and majorities, is on the whole very tempered this term," he said, but the language in both the ruling and dissent on Monday was "much edgier."
The influence of past discrimination
Pildes and Levitt also suggested that the forgiving standard adopted by the conservative court majority is a bad indicator for those challenging the Trump travel ban.
As Pildes put it, one of the key questions of the travel ban case is whether past statements made by President Trump, which earlier courts have found to be discriminatory, "carry over in some significant way to reviewing the legality of the order that's now before the court."
"The issue at the heart of both [the] redistricting case and the travel ban case is the lingering impact of prior discrimination on something you do a few months later," Levitt said. "And the court clearly was pretty hostile to drawing continuing implications about the motives of a state government entity based on what it had done a short time earlier. And I think that is a foreboding omen for the travel ban case."

Governor Releases Budget Proposal Tuesday As New York Faces Largest Deficit In A Decade
ALBANY, NY (WSKG) - Gov. Andrew Cuomo releases his state budget plan Tuesday afternoon, and he's expected to detail how he will close a $6 billion budget gap. With resistance in the State Legislature to new taxes and spending cuts, the governor may have to get creative to thread that needle. The budget gap is largely due to overspending on Medicaid beyond Cuomo's self-imposed 2% per year spending cap.
