Unit 6 : Winter X Games
For fans of winter sports, nothing can match the excitement of the Winter X Games. Competitors use skis, snowboards, and snowmobiles to speed down icy slopes and launch into the sky. The events include so many gravity-defying tricks that some competitors spend just as much time in the air as they do on the snow.
One exciting event is the Superpipe, which is like a half-pipe, but has much taller walls that allow snowboarders to get higher on their jumps. The athletes in the snowmobile event ─ Snocross ─ also spend a good amount of time in the air. This race involves speeds of over 95 km/h and jumps as long as 40 meters. Just watching the event gets your heart beating fast.
The X Games were started as a summer event in 1995 by ESPN, the American sports broadcaster. After a huge success, the winter games were added in 1997. Every year since then, the top winter athletes have come together to put on a great show. We should expect nothing less from the 17th Winter X Games in January 2013.
The 2013 Winter X Games will be held from January 24th to 27th in Aspen, Colorado. The games are returning to this famous ski resort community in the mountains for the 12th year in a row. Winters here are very cold, with temperature as low as -14°C and tons of snow, but this is a paradise for winter sports. More than 200 winter athletes will come with the hopes of winning a gold medal.
Gaining more fans every year, the Winter X Games had more than 100,000 people come to witness the competitions with their own eyes in 2012. Visitors can ski during the day and attend concerts at night. Best of all, they get to watch up close the amazing X Games participants who put it all on the line.
Even if you can't make it to Aspen, the games are fantastic for television audiences, as cameras follow every twist and turn of the daring athletes. While these stunts can be extremely dangerous, they're safe to watch from the sofa. Pay attention to your local TV schedule so you can catch all the action of the 2013 Winter X Games.


Akan names come from a traditional naming system for people from countries such as Togo, Ivory Coast and Ghana. A child’s name is determined by factors surrounding his or her birth. For example, the day of their birth or the manner in which they were born may determine which name they get irrespective of their gender. These Akan names signify the day one is born. According to Akan tradition, each child is born with a name associated to their soul. The day the child is born is therefore determined by the soul. The well thought and organized naming system of the Akan’s was initiated by the ancestors and has attracted so many people’s attention as they desire to know more about these names. As a matter of fact, it is possible to tell what led to someone’s birth, the day they were born and their rank among the siblings just by their names. This is why you need to read this article to know more about Akan names and their meanings.
Are you curious to know what your Akan name is? Fill the below form and get it generated in seconds.

Next: Character Categories, Previous: Introduction to Scripts and Repertoires, Up: Character Concepts
Characters have only one standardized attribute: a code. A character’s code is a non-negative integer. This code is composed from a character script and a character label in an implementation-dependent way. See the functions char-code and code-char.
Additional, implementation-defined attributes of characters are also permitted so that, for example, two characters with the same code may differ in some other, implementation-defined way.
For any implementation-defined attribute there is a distinguished value called the null value for that attribute. A character for which each implementation-defined attribute has the null value for that attribute is called a simple character. If the implementation has no implementation-defined attributes, then all characters are simple characters.


How Qbot Uses Esentutl
A colleague asked me a question today about the relationship between Qbot and a Windows system utility: esentutl.exe
. It’s been sparsely documented via tweet, and I want to more fully explain why Qbot jumped into using the utility during operations.
The WebCache
Qbot is a banking trojan, so its operators are naturally interested in obtaining data from victim hosts. The data includes internet browsing history, files opened, and much more. This data now lives within the WebCacheV01.dat
database. In modern versions of Internet Explorer, the database uses the Microsoft Extensible Storage Engine (ESE) database format, the format famous for Exchange and Active Directory databases. As with other transactional databases, the WebCache may have multiple entries in a transaction log that get applied to the database file over time as the system allows write operations to the database. This helps improve resilience of the database and allows recoveries/rollbacks. This is where esentutl.exe
becomes useful.
Flushing the Data
Qbot borrowed a trick from digital forensic examiners to get victim internet history data. As documented by SANS and others, an examiner could get data from the WebCacheV01.dat
file, but it would be incomplete as multiple log files may exist. This places the database in a “dirty” state. To get a complete, “clean” copy of the database, the examiner should first execute a recovery with esentutl.exe
.
So Qbot uses a command like this:
esentutl.exe /r V01 /l"C:\Users\[REDACTED]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache" /s"C:\Users\[REDACTED]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache" /d"C:\Users\[REDACTED]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WebCache"
In the command, /r V01
indicates esentutl.exe
will execute a recovery operation using the database log file V01. The /l
specifies the location of log files, the /s
specifies the location of system files (including a checkpoint file), and the /d
specifies the location of database files. All the relevant files live in the same folder, leading to the same path appearing three times in the command. After this command executes, the data from the WebCache database log files is flushed into the WebCacheV01.dat
database and Qbot can pick that file up for later use.

If the object we're asking for does not exist in the image, click "No Box Exists" and continue to the next one.
Click this button will remove the current box and disable box drawing. Click the button again to re-enable.
Every question should either have a bounding box or be marked as "No Box Exists".
If for whatever reason the box drawing cursor is not aligned with your mouse, click "Redraw box" to reset
the interface.
If no image loads, click "No Box Exists" and continue to the next question.
 If you don't see the object in this frame, or you aren't sure where it is, click No Box Exists.


Executes the contents of a SQL script file against a database.
This tool is usually used to create a database from script.
It can also be used to analyze performance problems by running
the tool using Java profiler settings such as:
java -Xrunhprof:cpu=samples,depth=16 ...
To include local files when using remote databases, use the special
syntax:
@INCLUDE fileName
This syntax is only supported by this tool. Embedded RUNSCRIPT SQL
statements will be executed by the database.

Subject: [gecode-users] ES_NOFIX and ES_FIX
Like to give you a heads up on a mistake in the documentation (I
hope). The documentation of Propagator::advise says the following:
....
A propagator must specialize this advise function, if it uses
advisors. The advise function must return an execution status as
follows:
ES_FAILED: the advisor has detected failure
ES_NOFIX: the advisor's propagator (that is, this propagator) does not
need to be run
ES_FIX: the advisor's propagator (that is, this propagator) must be run
....
I think the ES_NOFIX and ES_FIX are mixed up, it should be
ES_NOFIX: the advisor's propagator (that is, this propagator) must be run
ES_FIX: the advisor's propagator (that is, this propagator) does not
need to be run
Can you confirm this?

MV Templar heroes: Owecho’s family long forgotten
by Vision ReporterOne of the local fishermen, Bosco Owecho, also lost his life while attempting to rescue the victims. Although he was regarded as a national hero, his family is struggling to earn a living.
BOAT ACCIDENT MV TEMPLAR
MUKONO - Tomorrow November 24, will be exactly one year since the tragedy befell the country when a boat – MV Templar, carrying over 100 people, capsized, killing over 30 people on Lake Victoria.
A joint operation by Police and Uganda People’s Defence Force (UPDF) marines and locals managed to recover 32 bodies and rescued 26 people, including Prince David Wasajja of Buganda, musician Iryn Namubiru and a city tycoon, John Fredrick Kiyimba commonly known as Freeman.
One of the local fishermen, Bosco Owecho, also lost his life while attempting to rescue the victims. Although he was regarded as a national hero, his family is struggling to earn a living.
Many celebrities and politicians including FDC party president, Patrick Oboi Amuriat, came out and promised to help his family, but they did not honour their pledge.
Owecho’s widow Juliet Kiiza, his mother, mother-in-law Juliet Nakiyinji and other relatives were caught on camera narrating their ordeal.
Nakiyinji called on the public to help construct a house for her daughter and her children.
Owecho’s mother also said she has been down with high blood pressure since her son’s death. She also noted that they have failed to raise funds for Owecho’s last funeral rites.

Answer the following questions to find out which destination is best suited for you:
THAILAND
Thailand is a country on Southeast Asia’s Indochina peninsula known for tropical beaches, opulent royal palaces, ancient ruins and ornate temples displaying figures of Buddha, a revered symbol. In Bangkok, the capital, an ultramodern cityscape rises next to quiet canal and riverside communities. Commercial hubs such as Chinatown consist of labyrinthine alleys crammed with shophouses, markets and diners.
COSTA RICA!
Costa Rica is a rugged, rainforested Central American country with coastlines on the Caribbean and Pacific. Though its capital, San Jose, is home to cultural institutions like the Pre-Columbian Gold Museum, Costa Rica is known for its beaches, volcanoes and immense biodiversity. Roughly a quarter of its area is made up of protected jungle, rich with wildlife including spider monkeys and quetzal birds.
BORA BORA
Bora Bora is a small South Pacific island northwest of Tahiti in French Polynesia. Surrounded by sand-fringed motus (islets) and a turquoise lagoon protected by a coral reef, it’s known for its scuba diving. It's also a popular luxury resort destination where some guest bungalows are perched over the water on stilts. At the island's center rises 727m Mt. Otemanu, a dormant volcano.
BERLIN
Berlin, Germany's capital and cultural center, dates to the 13th century. Divided during the Cold War, today it's known for its art scene, nightlife and modern architecture, such as Mies van der Rohe’s landmark Neue Nationalgalerie. Reminders of the city's turbulent 20th-century history include its Holocaust Memorial and the Berlin Wall's graffitied remains. Its 18th-century Brandenburg Gate has become an iconic symbol of reunification.
CAPE TOWN
Cape Town is a port city on South Africa’s southwest coast, on a peninsula beneath the imposing Table Mountain. Slowly rotating cable cars climb to the mountain’s flat top, from which there are sweeping views of the city, the busy harbor and boats heading for Robben Island in Table Bay. The notorious prison that once held Nelson Mandela is now a living museum.
PERU
Peru is a country in South America that's home to a section of Amazon rainforest and Machu Picchu, an ancient Incan city set high in the Andes mountains. The area surrounding Machu Picchu, including the Sacred Valley, the Inca Trail and the lively city of Cusco, is also rich in Incan sites as well as hiking, rafting and mountain-biking opportunities.
HONG KONG
Hong Kong is a city, and former British colony, in southeastern China. Vibrant and densely populated, it’s a major port and global financial center famed for its tower-studded skyline. It’s also known for its lively food scene – from Cantonese dim sum to extravagant high tea – and its shopping, with options spanning chaotic Temple Street Night Market to the city’s innumerable bespoke tailors.

In circa-1820 Chinatown stands the red-and-gold Buddha’s Tooth Relic Temple, Little India offers colorful souvenirs and Arab Street is lined with fabric shops. Singapore is also known for eclectic street fare, served in hawker centres such as Tiong Bahru and Maxwell Road.
BARCELONA
Barcelona, the cosmopolitan capital of Spain’s Catalonia region, is defined by quirky art and architecture, imaginative food and vibrant street life. It has medieval roots, seen in the mazelike Gothic Quarter, but a modernist personality represented by architect Antoni Gaudí’s fantastical Sagrada Família church. Its restaurant scene, anchored by the central Boqueria market, ranges from fine dining to tiny tapas bars.
TEL AVIV
Tel Aviv, a city on Israel’s Mediterranean coast, is marked by its stark 1930s Bauhaus buildings, thousands of which are clustered in the White City architectural area. The city is also known for its accessible beaches and vibrant nightlife ranging from Lilienblum Street’s lounges to Dizengoff Street’s open-air cafes. Tel Aviv Port’s waterfront promenade is lined with shops and restaurants.


#include <stdlib.h> int rand(void); int rand_r(unsigned int *seedp); void srand(unsigned int seed);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
rand_r(): _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 1 || _XOPEN_SOURCE || _POSIX_SOURCE
The srand() function sets its argument as the seed for a new sequence of pseudo-random integers to be returned by rand(). These sequences are repeatable by calling srand() with the same seed value.
If no seed value is provided, the rand() function is automatically seeded with a value of 1.
The function rand() is not reentrant or thread-safe, since it uses hidden state that is modified on each call. This might just be the seed value to be used by the next call, or it might be something more elaborate. In order to get reproducible behavior in a threaded application, this state must be made explicit; this can be done using the reentrant function rand_r().
Like rand(), rand_r() returns a pseudo-random integer in the range [0, RAND_MAX]. The seedp argument is a pointer to an unsigned int that is used to store state between calls. If rand_r() is called with the same initial value for the integer pointed to by seedp, and that value is not modified between calls, then the same pseudo-random sequence will result.
The value pointed to by the seedp argument of rand_r() provides only a very small amount of state, so this function will be a weak pseudo-random generator. Try drand48_r(3) instead.
static unsigned long next = 1; /* RAND_MAX assumed to be 32767 */ int myrand(void) { next = next *<PHONE_NUMBER> + 12345; return((unsigned)(next/65536) % 32768); } void mysrand(unsigned int seed) { next = seed; }
The following program can be used to display the pseudo-random sequence produced by rand() when given a particular seed.
#include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int j, r, nloops; unsigned int seed; if (argc != 3) { fprintf(stderr, "Usage: %s <seed> <nloops>\n", argv[0]); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } seed = atoi(argv[1]); nloops = atoi(argv[2]); srand(seed); for (j = 0; j < nloops; j++) { r = rand(); printf("%d\n", r); } exit(EXIT_SUCCESS); }

WATCH: Andrew Yang Rips MSNBC for Lack of Speaking Time | Breitbart
EAST POINT, Georgia — Businessman Andrew Yang criticized MSNBC sharply for not giving him adequate speaking time during Wednesday night’s Democrat debate, co-hosted by the left-wing network and the Washington Post.
by https://www.facebook.com/joelpollak, Joel B. Pollak“What is up with that?” Yang asked Breitbart News. “You should ask MSNBC.”
ABC News computed that Yang only spoke for six minutes and fifty-nine seconds across the two hours of debate — barely 5% of the total time on a stage with 10 candidates.
CNN calculated that Yang spoke for even less time, prompting the campaign of Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) to post a tweet in his defense.
“The numbers speak for themselves,” Yang told Breitbart.
“This isn’t the first time that people have had this kind of issue with this particular network.”
Yang has remained among the frontrunners despite being marginalized by many mainstream media outlets. He had the second-largest contingent of supporters outside the debate venue, the Tyler Perry Studios — second only to South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, who is in fourth place nationwide but leads, according to some polls, in Iowa and New Hampshire.
Joel B. Pollak is Senior Editor-at-Large at Breitbart News. He earned an A.B. in Social Studies and Environmental Science and Public Policy from Harvard College, and a J.D. from Harvard Law School. He is a winner of the 2018 Robert Novak Journalism Alumni Fellowship. He is also the co-author of How Trump Won: The Inside Story of a Revolution , which is available from Regnery.

WILD AT HEART A Film Review Copyright Dragan Antulov 2000
Once I was asked why I don't give highest grades to the recently released films. The answer is rather simple - too many times I had been blown away after watching the film for the first time, only to see more and more flaws with each subsequent viewing. As a result, many films that I used to call masterpieces now seem overrated to me. So, in order to spare myself of critical embarrassments, I tend to be cautious and give highest grades only to those films that pass the test of time.
One of such examples is related to the career of David Lynch, American director who used to be rather obscure figure in the film world, known only among lovers of "artsy" cinema. His unexpected success with TWIN PEAKS television series brought him to the mainstream audience, and being Lynch fan became fashionable. At the apex of his popularity, in 1990, he directed WILD AT HEART, strange combination of a road movie, melodrama and black comedy which would bring him his first "Palme d'Or". But his stunning success was marred with very vocal minority that booed his film at the Cannes Film Festival. Such event foreshadowed the strong division among the critics when they discuss this film -some hail it as genuine Lynchian masterpiece, and some call it cheap exploitation of his mainstream popularity. At first, I was blown away with this movie and thought of it as one of the best films of 1990s, truly remarkable event. Later, I began to see its flaws and now I don't see it as especially important chapter in the history of cinema.
The plot of the film is based on the novel by Barry Gifford. Sailor Ripley (played by Nicolas Cage) and Lula Fortune (played by Laura Dern) are couple whose passionate love to each other withstands all the challenges, including bizarre attempt on Sailor's life that ended with Sailor serving two years for manslaughter. Sailor gets out of prison and Lula agrees to come with him to California. While two of them head west, stopping in flea-bag motels in Deep South, Lula's psychopathic mother Marietta (played by Diane Ladd) desperately wants to separate them and hires services of private detective and her part- time lover Johnny Farragut (played by Harry Dean Stanton). However, her motive is not just the well being of her daughter; Sailor used to work for Marcello Santos (played by J.E. Freeman), local crime boss who also happened to be Marietta's partner, both in business and bed. While Santos' men join the pursuit in order to silence Sailor, the couple is faced with more immediate problem. Sailor and Lula run out of cash and get stranded in small town in Texas, so Sailor is accept the offer by menacing-looking criminal Bobby Peru (played by Willem Dafoe) to take part in one of his capers.
Initial success of WILD HEART could be explained with the strong impact felt by the first-time viewers. Even those members of the audience who used to be familiar with Lynch and his style of filmmaking, including the author of this review, were caught by surprise when exposed to the very original way he approached the story and the characters. Naturally, Lynch used unusual editing techniques, camera angles, suggestive photography and haunting musical score by his composer Angelo Badalamenti to create dark and surreal atmosphere, which actually helped the not so original plot (doomed lovers on the run). But, the most interesting thing in WILD AT HEART is barrage of shocks - Lynch bombards us with unexpected events and character traits, often challenging the endurance of the more squeamish audience. For example, the lead character of Sailor in the beginning of the film is attacked; he reacts with the most savage (and very graphically depicted) act of violence. Only few scenes later, he reacts to the similar act with equally irrational and almost surreal chivalry. Few people like Lynch are ready to combine so contrasting elements in the same movie, and even fewer are ready to use them in the same scenes. One second we are subjected to the sappiness, chivalry and child-like innocence that belong to fairytales, only to be brought down to earth with foul language, graphic violence, explicit sex and, of course, Lynch trademark scenes featuring various forms of physical and mental deformity. That barrage of shocks and unexpected twists keeps the viewers at their seats - they simply must see what is going to happen next.
Unfortunately, somewhere in the second part of the film, shock begins to wear off, some of those bizarre twists and characters begin to look predictable and repetitive, most notably numerous WIZZARD OF OZ references (except the last surreal scene). Lynch also loses the sense of rhythm, there are many scenes that go nowhere or should have been trimmed a bit. The dialogue is also often weak, at least compared with BLUE VELVET, Lynch's true masterpiece. Finally, after two hours, some viewers begin feeling that Lynch didn't take this film too seriously; whole purpose of WILD AT HEART seems to be to Lynch's parody of himself and his cult of filmmaking. One of the last scenes, with its ironic homage to Kurosawa's YOJIMBO, foreshadows the incoming reign of another cult favourite who had based his reputation on such homages - Quentin Tarantino.
Whether Lynch took plot and characters seriously might be debatable, but the cast definitely put great efforts. Nicolas Cage played one of the great roles of his career - Sailor Ripley is strange combination of street thug with the heart of gold and Elvis impersonator. Cage managed to make him both funny and human in the same time; we both laugh at him and sympathise with his plight. Unfortunately, his partners weren't up to the task, mostly due to Lynch's idea to have his characters as bizarre as possible, and his directing probably encouraged overacting. Laura Dern puts too much effort to make her Lula as different as possible from squeaky-clean all-American girl from BLUE VELVET; the result is creature that engages in chain-smoking, swearing and torrid sex and, unfortunately, has disturbing tendency to make rather unappealing facial expressions.  Even Willem Dafoe, who probably enjoyed opportunity to play Bobby Peru, character as far away from his best- known role of Jesus as possible, seems wasted here. His character appears too late to stick in memory compared with deformed and demented villains played by Grace Zabriskie and David Patrick Kelly. Always reliable Harry Dean Stanton, who plays only comparatively normal character in the film, is tragically underused. Luckily, there are many Lynch's old associates that improve impression about film with interesting and memorable parts in cameos - Jack Nance, Sherilyn Fenn, Isabella Rosselini and Sheryl Lee.
All in all, WILD AT HEART has some flaws, yet it is still one fine example of Lynch's directorial talent. Evident imperfection of this film shouldn't be the reason to discard it with the same zeal as it was hailed as masterpiece ten years ago. WILD AT HEART is still an interesting piece of cinema and it can still provide intense viewing experiences, at least for those who watch it for the first time.

John Horton Conway has died. Sigh. One of the most unique mathematicians and human beings who ever lived. Five years ago he was game for this April Fool's prank https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/john-conway-reminiscences-about-dr-matrix-and-bourbaki/
- Card Colm Mulcahy (@CardColm)Very sad news. The first math book I ever bought was Conway and Guy's "The Book of Numbers". This also reminds me that I should get back to reviewing #1540...

Security seems to have no boundaries. I've been tightening our database security lately, and it seems like this could go on forever: from app to console to privileges to server, there are so many aspects to managing database security. Unfortunately, this is a field where MySQL is in particular weak, and with very little work done in the many years I've been working with MySQL.
My very own top-wanted security features for MySQL follows. Surely this is but a small subset, your mileage may vary.
Autherntication-only SSL
By default, MySQL client API is unencrypted and passwords are sent in cleartext. MySQL supports SSL, but it an "all or nothing" deal: if you want to use SSL, then everything goes by SSL: any query, SELECT, DDL and whatnot.
[UPDATE]: Thanks to Davi & Jan for correcting me on this: passwords are not sent via cleartext. I'm not sure by which constellation I saw cleartext passwords being sent -- but obviously that was long time ago. Just verified via tcpdump, got "mysql_native_password" message and no cleartext password. Lesson learned!
Roles
Need I elaborate? This is a fundamental construct in a database grant system. The effort of maintaining multiple accounts with similar/identical privileges is overwhelming. (PS I haven't used Securich to date)
Host aggregation
In MySQL the combination of user+host makes for a distinct account. Thus<EMAIL_ADDRESS>is a completely different account than<EMAIL_ADDRESS>I get the idea: you can have more privileges to, say, gromit@localhost than for<EMAIL_ADDRESS>In practice, this only makes a headache. In all my years, I have never encountered nor designed a privilege set where two accounts of the same user had different set of privileges. Never ever ever. It is confusing and pointless: if an account has a different set of roles, just call it by another name!
Had we had roles, that would be less painful; but my opinion is that an account should be identified by user only, not by user+host. The 'host' part should just indicate the whitelist of machines from which the user is allowed to connect.
Host blacklist
Speaking of whitelist, it would be great to have a host blacklist. If I wanted to grant access to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>except for '192.168.10.%' -- well, I would have to whitelist all the possible subnets. I can't exclude a set of hosts.
Catalogues
Another common construct not available in MySQL: a level above "schema" and below "server". The need for catalogues is in particular obvious when you want to grant some user SELECT access to all your schemas. Ahem, excluding, of course, the mysql schema... If I could create a "user catalogue", as opposed to "system catalogue", then I would have been able to GRANT SELECT ON CATALOGUE user.* TO my_user@localhost, and this would apply to all databases in that catalogue.
Privileges auditing
I've spent the last week or so restricting privileges to all accounts. This is hard work, because you want to make sure you're not revoking privileges which are required by the system (in which case I would either choose not to revoke, or create a new dedicated account with requested set of privileges). It would be so much fun if I could turn a flag on, like "SET GLOBAL audit_privileges := 1", and have a ++counter for every time a privilege check is made per account.
I guess we could go on... On a brighter note, I've been using the audit plugin interface by writing a login audit plugin with very good results (= good auditing & important insights); the (simple) code will be released shortly as open source; I'll write more on this at a later stage.

Although it's becoming less and less common, there are times you will need to call an asynchronous from within a synchronous one. For example when you are implementing an interface; within a constructor or writing a console application with an old version of c#.
Create a console app, and start with the following code
```c# static void Main(string[] args) { if (File.Exists("Log.txt")) File.Delete("Log.txt"); File.AppendAllText("Log.txt", "Main 1\r\n"); AnAsyncOperation(); File.AppendAllText("Log.txt", "Main 2\r\n");
Console.WriteLine("Wait a couple of seconds and then press a key");
Console.ReadKey(true);
}
public static async Task AnAsyncOperation() { await Task.Run(() => Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1))); File.AppendAllText("Log.txt", "AnAsyncOperation\r\n"); } ```
Run the program, and within your bin/debug folder the file log.txt will be created. This file should contain the following three lines, note the lines are out of order.
Main 1
Main 2
AnOperationAsync
Now remove the Console.ReadKey(true) line and run the program again. Now your log file will contain just two lines
Main 1
Main 2
As you may have guessed, the reason for this is that AnAsyncOperation is an asynchronous method, and we aren't awaiting for it to finish. Our program is exiting before the 1 second delay has finished.
Ideally we would change our code as below
c#
await AnAsyncOperation();
but we can't as we haven't marked our method as async. static async Task Main(string[] args)
(Let's assume we are using an old version of c# for now!)
You may be tempted to use the .Wait() command, change your program as below and run it again.
c#
AnAsyncOperation().Wait();
As first it appears to correct the problem, the log file now contains all three lines and they are in the correct order. However now change your code to read
```c# static void Main(string[] args) { if (File.Exists("Log.txt")) File.Delete("Log.txt"); File.AppendAllText("Log.txt", "Main 1\r\n");
try
{
AnAsyncOperation().Wait();
}
catch (ApplicationException)
{
// That's ok
}
File.AppendAllText("Log.txt", "Main 2\r\n");
}
public static async Task AnAsyncOperation() { throw new ApplicationException("Please bring the warp drive online before calling this method."); } ```
Before running it, guess what you think is going to happen.
Now run it, you will find that the ApplicationException isn't caught, and the program crashes leaving just one line in the log.txt file. The problem is that thrown exception is actually of type System.AggregateException containing our ApplicationException as an inner exception. Normally this isn't a problem as the await keyword also handles the unwrapping of our exception for us.
The answer is to use GetAwaiter().GetResult() instead of .Wait() or .Result. i.e.
c#
try
{
AnAsyncOperation().GetAwaiter().GetResult();
}
Run the program, and you will now find that your exception is correctly caught.
There are three rules for when you need to call an asynchronous method.
There is a minor exception to these rules which we will look at next time.
#1 As @kev_bite pointed out to me, there are very few reasons not to make your method asynchronous in modern C#. For example C# 7.1 supports asynchronous Main methods in console apps, and you can use IHttpAsyncHandler instead of IHttpHandler in asp.net.

My name is SANDRA MARYANNE I am 20years old.I completed my
form four last year but one and am the I was born and brought up in an area where by we face a challenge with the ELEPHANTS.
The pictures below show the examples of the human wildlife conflict:
I love nature and as a result of tht,
i decided to come up with an idea to help control human wildlife conflict.
As a result of that i came up with a gadget that will help control human wildlife conflict that:
When am at my leisure time i enjoy passing my time doing different activities such as:
Currently am at MORINGA SCHOOL pursuing my course so that i may be able to run my project by myself
Its so hectic and tiresome to keep following people to code for you your idea
My main wish is to pursue this course successfully
and understand the full content too.

Immigration arrests suspected human trafficker with five victims
by Agency ReportThe Nigerian Immigration Service says it has arrested a suspected human trafficker with five female victims en route Niger Republic to Europe.
The Comptroller General, NIS, Mr Muhammad Babandede, disclosed this in a statement by the Service Public Relations Officer, Mr Sunday James, on Saturday in Abuja.
He added that the arrest was made by the operatives at Kongolam border, Katsina State.
Babandede reiterated that the days of crossing national frontiers without proper documentation and melting into border communities was over, as the Special Border Corps and regular border control officers were on their toes 24/7.
He said that the SBC and regular border control officers were patrolling with the aim of enforcing adequate border security and control, while human mobility was regulated in line with the Federal Government’s directive.
The CG congratulated the team at Kongolam for being at alert to their duty and operating a watertight system which ensured the apprehension of the suspected human trafficker.
He said their dedication was due to the various training, operational exercises and drills that they had been exposed to.
“I want to commend the Katsina Command for making it difficult for traffickers and human smugglers to pass through the border,” he said.
Babandede said the suspect and the five female victims had been handed over to the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, Kano Zonal office, for further necessary action in line with NIS mandate.
