There's this customary interview question in the .NET world that's usually asked when interviewing junior developers and it goes like this:
What's the difference between value and reference types?
And the most common given answer is:
Value types are kept on the stack whereas reference types are kept on the heap. When sending an argument to a method, value types are passed by value and reference types are passed by reference. [Followed by a simple example of passing an integer versus passing an instance of a class]
This usually is enough to satisfy an interviewer considering it's a question usually asked to juniors, but in reality both parts of the answer were wrong. Whether most interviewers are unaware of this or whether they just don't care because they're interviewing an inexperienced person is something that will remain a mystery. The reasons why the given answer is wrong are a bit technical, but because I'm very pedantic about these things I will dive into them in this post.
So let's start with the first part:
Value types are kept on the stack whereas reference types are kept on the heap.
The problem with this answer is that is it wrong in so many scenarios. Both value and reference types are sometimes on the stack and sometimes on the heap, and the rules that govern the outcome are complicated enough that we shouldn't be making generalized assumptions on where something is allocated. If you want to get a clearer picture of these different scenarios take a look at (our C# lord) Jon Skeet's writings on memory in .NET. Moreover, I think we can trust Eric Lippert who was a Principal Developer at Microsoft on the C# compiler team and a member of the C# language design team, saying that
If the relevant thing [about reference and value types] was their allocation details then we'd have called them "heap types" and "stack types" - in his The Stack Is An Implementation Detail articles on MSDN. I encourage you to read both parts as they give an insider's view of this topic.
Now that we've sorted that, let's take a look at the second part of the answer, which I feel is more important to debunk.
When sending an argument to a method, value types are passed by value and reference types are passed by reference.
The default way of passing parameters in C# is by value, for both value and reference types.
But changes to reference types reflect in the caller scope whereas changes to value types do not, so where does that behavior come from? Well it's a problem of terminology. What passing by value means is that we're passing a copy of a variable, where the key thing is what that variable itself holds - which is dependent on whether it's a value or a reference type. Let's look at an example:
var x = 5;
var y = new User();
In the code above the variable
x holds the value
5, but the variable
y does not hold an instance of the
User class. Rather, the object is created in a different place and
y just holds the reference to that object. An important distinction! When we're passing a variable to a method we're passing a copy of that variable, the same with both
x and
y. So the mechanism of passing is the same, but what is being passed is different. Herein lies the difference in behavior between value and reference types. What is being passed as opposed to how it's being passed. Now fixing the original answer just takes a bit of paraphrasing:
When sending an argument to a method, when it comes to value types we're passing a value and when it comes to reference types we're passing a reference.
There's a term called "pass/call by sharing" which describes this passing of a reference by value in an attempt to distinguish it from actual passing by reference, but this term is not in common use so don't expect anyone to understand you if you use it.
And if you're still unsure about the point I'm making, look at this example:
void ChangeUser(User localUser) {
localUser = null;
var user = new User();
if (user == null) {
Console.WriteLine("We changed the user");
Have we changed the
user reference?
No. Because in the
ChangeUser() method we only set the local copy of the reference to point to
null, not the reference in the caller scope. So although we can use the local reference to make changes to the object it's pointing to, we can't alter the original
user reference in the caller scope - because we're working with a separate local copy! That's what passing by value is.
So what is actually passing by reference?
Generally, passing by reference is not a common practice in modern programming. In C# you can achieve it with the
ref and
out keywords which I'm sure you've come across before. When you pass a reference type using the
ref keyword you are actually passing the original reference, not a copy of it. So in term you can make that reference point to something else, which we couldn't do in the previous example.
But what happens when we pass a value type with the
ref keyword? Well as one would expect, altering its value in a method will change it in the caller scope as well. At this point one may wonder whether passing a reference type by value and passing a value type by reference (using the
ref keyword) produce the same outcome. And the answer to that riddle is no. Remember, reference type variables are a bit special in the fact that they not only hold a reference as a value, but that value is basically an address to some object in some place. So you can use reference type variables in two ways: 1) you can change the object that they point to; 2) you can change the reference itself to point to a different object or
null. Because of this, when passing a reference by value, if you re-initialize the reference in the method scope to make it point to something else, the original reference in the caller scope won't change (it continues to point to the same object). This doesn't happen with value types. Whatever you set a value type to be after passing it by reference will always reflect in the caller scope.
So I hope that was a good deconstruction of what I've found to be not quite common knowledge.

CHELMSFORD, Mass. (WHDH) — Police in Chelmsford are searching for a loaded shotgun after an unmarked police cruiser and personal car were stolen overnight from a detective's home.
Police said thieves broke into the detective's garage sometime between Wednesday night and early Thursday morning. The thieves stole several sets of keys before driving off with an unmarked Ford Taurus cruiser and Saturn station wagon.
Police said the Saturn was found a half mile from the detective's home on Canal Street and the cruiser was recovered at around 9 a.m. Thursday on Bowden Street in Lowell. When officers searched the cruiser, they found that the shotgun was missing. An empty pistol lockbox was also missing from the car.
An "aggressive" and "intensive" search is underway to locate the stolen weapon. Chelmsford and Lowell K-9 units have been dispatched to assist with the search.
"Locating this stolen police weapon is our top priority at this time," said Chelmsford Police Chief James Spinney.
Anyone with information is asked to contact police.

Web Search Relevance Ranking
Ranking; Result ranking; Search ranking
Web search engines return lists of web pages sorted by the page's relevance to the user query. The problem with web search relevance ranking is to estimate relevance of a page to a query. Nowadays, commercial web-page search engines combine hundreds of features to estimate relevance. The specific features and their mode of combination are kept secret to fight spammers and competitors. Nevertheless, the main types of features at use, as well as the methods for their combination, are publicly known and are the subject of scientific investigation.
Historical Background
Information Retrieval (IR) Systems are the predecessors of Web and search engines. These systems were designed to retrieve documents in curated digital collections such as library abstracts, corporate documents, news, etc. Traditionally, IR relevance ranking algorithms were designed to obtain high recall on medium-sized document collections using long detailed...

Stoneybrook Elementary School is a public elementary school in Stoneybrook, Connecticut.
It is not known which street it is on, but it is probably in the non-ritzy part of Stoneybrook because David Michael has to take a bus to school every morning when he moves into Watson's mansion in the ritzy area on McLelland Road. It is also not known whether there is a school uniform.
Most of the BSC charges attend the elementary school. It is in a neighborhood close to many of the BSC members because sometimes they take their charges to play on the playground. Kristy, Mary Anne, and Claudia also attended Stoneybrook Elementary as children.

Digital transformation not only means adopting a constellation of technologies -- including cloud, data analytics and online channels -- but also making fundamental changes to corporate culture. Employees up and down the ranks should have a stake in the process, and be given latitude to experiment with new approaches. However, few companies appear to be making the fundamental changes their leaders believe are necessary to achieve these goals.
That's the takeaway from a survey of more than 3,500 organizations, released by MIT Sloan Management Review and Deloitte Digital. The study finds that 71% of digitally maturing organizations have conquered this barrier by encouraging their organizations to experiment and accept the risk of failure, compared to 29% of early stage companies. The study compares the digital transformation habits of "digitally maturing" companies versus "digitally early-stage" companies.
What are the leading components of a digital effort? Here's what executives say is underway this year:
The study's authors, led by Gerald Kane and Doug Palmer, state that digitally mature companies have the following common traits:
They implement systemic changes in culture. Digitally mature companies are more than four times as likely as non-digitally maturing companies to have a clear and coherent digital strategy in place than other companies (80% of digitally maturing organizations versus 19% of early-stage companies), Kane and his co-authors relate. Overall, less than half of executives (48%) agree, to any extent, that their leaders "have the vision necessary to lead our digital business efforts." Somewhat fewer, 45%, agree that their organizations provide employees "with the resources or opportunities to develop skills and opportunities to thrive in a digital business environment." Only 40% agree their organizations "effectively utilize the digital knowledge, skills, interest, and experience held by our employees."
They play the long game. The strategic planning horizons of digitally mature organizations "are consistently longer than those of less digitally mature organizations, with nearly 30% looking out five years or more versus only 13% for the least digitally mature organizations," Kane and his co-authors relate. "Their digital strategies focus on both technology and core business capabilities. We discuss how linking digital strategies to the company's core business and focusing on organizational change and flexibility enables companies to adjust to rapidly changing digital environments."
They scale small digital experiments into larger enterprise initiatives. As the researchers put it, at digitally mature companies, "small 'i' innovations or experiments typically lead to more big 'I' innovations than at other organizations. Digitally maturing organizations are more than twice as likely as companies at the early stages of digital development to drive both small, iterative experiments and enterprise-wide initiatives rather than mainly experiments. Digitally maturing organizations also can be shrewd and disciplined in figuring out how to fund these endeavors and keep them from languishing in the face of more immediate investment needs."
They are talent magnets. Moving to digital makes people want to work for an organization. The MIT-Deloitte survey finds vice president-level executives without sufficient digital opportunities are 15 times more likely to want to leave within a year than are those with satisfying digital challenges. "Employees and executives are highly inclined to jump ship if they feel they don't have opportunities to develop digital skills," the researchers state. Seventy-seven percent of digitally maturing organizations recognize and reward collaboration and cross-functional teams as a cornerstone of how they operate, versus slightly more than 34 percent of early stage entities, the study finds. However, Kane and his co-authors add, "even the most digitally mature organizations don't have all the needed talent." They recommend that executives seek out those "pockets of people who want the organization to become more digital, and leadership needs to identify them and give them opportunities to develop and grow. Put these advocates to work on the experiments and initiatives called out above and let them build and advance their skills as they make contributions to the shift in becoming a digital business."
They nurture leaders with a digital vision. Digitally mature organizations "are more likely to have articulated a compelling ambition for what their digital businesses can be and define digital initiatives as core components to achieving their business strategy. A larger percentage of digitally maturing companies are also planning to increase their digital investment compared to their less digitally mature counterparts, which threatens to widen an already large gap in the level of digital success" -- about 75% of digitally mature companies versus 49% of their less-mature counterparts.

I had multiple flights and layovers by myself on the return trip from Ecuador. I spent most waking hours gulping down Achebe's fascinating novel, Things Fall Apart. You can purchase it here.
The essence of the grace and love of God demonstrated in the sacrifice of Jesus is beautiful in all cultural contexts. The essential message of the gospel and its implications, however, is often marred by the messengers themselves. The problem lies in the fact that transferring a message from one context to another is fraught with all sorts of complexities and dangers.
Chinua Achebe offers an insider's view of the upheaval caused by a foreign messenger penetrating a local context. Sometimes the best of intentions can become muddled in cultural ignorance and static-filled communication.
In Things Fall Apart I found myself torn between appreciating both the complexity and intricacies of the Ibo culture and the efforts of the missionaries to communicate the good news of Jesus to them.
I can't help but think that the kindness, compassion, and love that we are called to demonstrate has to do with acknowledging and sympathizing with the profound pain and confusion the introduction of Christianity into a local context can engender. A clear view of this should push us to tirelessly labor to share the good news of Jesus in ways that avoids unnecessary trauma and resistance. May the grace of God seen in the cross of Jesus be the only obstacle to new life in Christ.

to 2:30 p.m. in the University Quad. An Engineering and High-Tech Career Fair also took place on Friday. Thursdays career fair was open to all majors and featured 103 employers, while day two hosted 145 employers for engineering and technology students. Cal Poly Pomona students were able to connect with recruiters to look for both part-time and full-time jobs, internships, co-ops, volunteer opportunities and graduate school opportunities. It is easier to train students since they dont have higher experience, making them more trainable, stated Christine Duan, a senior tax auditor for the California State Board of Education. interview questionsEmployers included Ultimate Software, Target, the Los Angeles Police Department, Amazon, Allstate, Living Spaces and even NASA-Jet Propulsion Laboratory. One of the most popular booths at the career fair was the National Security Association, which accumulated lines 20 people long. The event coordinator for the career center, Diana Ramirez, recalled some of the reactions of some of the employers after the event. They were impressed by the quality of students coming through, almost as if they could have been interviewed on the spot, said Ramirez. To better allow students to find their perfect career match, the quad was divided into sections: agriculture, engineering, science and technology, environmental design and hospitality and business. While searching for IT career opportunities, Christian Robledo, a fourth-year business student, said he saw a lot more job opportunities than he thought, one company even refreshing its job openings every eight days. Students were also offered free bags and water bottles from some companies, while others held games where students could win prizes. Throughout the year, CPPs Career Center offers many opportunities for students to be successful in their future job endeavors. Students can go to the Career Center for counseling on major decisions regarding their futures or for help in finding jobs on campus. The center aids students with upcoming employment opportunities by conducting mock interviews with career counselors or by advising students on how their resumes should be laid out for their desired job. Students can also explore the Career Centers Clothes Closet for free business attire, donated to aid students preparations for upcoming interviews. The Career Center holds regular workshops and info sessions with different companies, such as the Union Pacific Railroad and the Peace Corps, to help students know what they could possibly do with their degree after graduation. Over the next school year, the Career Center will be holding many more events, including a Graduate and Professional School Fair on Nov. 8, a Hospitality Career Expo on Feb.16, a Teacher Education Job Fair on Feb.

Dress to impress! You'll be viewed as more qualified if you dress properly. Even if all you are doing is dropping off an application or a resume, dress well without going overboard.
Consider returning to school. Increasing your skills will make you more appealing to potential employers. Use your time wisely and learn in order to obtain a higher paying job. If you don't have time to attend classes in person, check out the many internet courses available.
Use LinkedIn to your advantage when it comes to finding a job. Demonstrate your knowledge about your chosen field in the Q and A area of the site. Also, you can communicate with other users and make vital contacts.
You must be prepared when searching for a job. Your resume must be updated with your current qualifications. Your accomplishments, certifications and level of education should be included. This should include education, job experience and professional references who can vouch for you.
Write out some questions before Interview Day. You will often times be asked if there are questions at the conclusion of the interview. Ask about the company culture, what kind of work will be required and anything else you can think of.
A key to a successful interview is dressing the part. Be sure that you're wearing professional clothing and you tend to small details like your nails and footwear. Employers will pass judgement on you based on your initial appearance, so make sure that you make a good impression.
Don't ever put all your hopes into landing one job. You won't have the job until the contract is signed. Stay persistent and apply to various jobs. If you put in applications to multiple companies, you will have a better chance of having one call you back.
You should include some type of social media in your resume. Many companies value your social media skills and appreciate the opportunity to view your social media pages.

Fic Title: Up On The Roof
Author: smalltrolven
Pairing: Sam/Dean
Rating: NC-17
Characters: Sam Winchester, Dean Winchester
Word Count: 4,900
Synopsis: Set right after 7.13 "Slice Girls", Sam's beyond angry at Dean telling him to "shut up about it" and takes a course of action that he's planned for years hoping it will fix his brother once and for all.
Author Disclaimer: I own nothing but these little ol' words.
Read here on AO3
At night the stars put on a show for free
And, darling, you can share it all with me
Everything is all right (up on the roof)
~ Up On The Roof – The Drifters
The longer Sam drives after Dean's told him to shut up, the angrier he gets. The angrier he gets, the faster he drives the Riviera, pushing it, enjoying the engine's roar, so unfamiliar, but it's still better than that teeny car they'd had back in Canton.
He'll do what he can, what the hell does that even mean? He can't even tell if Dean heard him or not and he's mad really mad now, because Dean could have died tonight. He was so irresponsible, and all of this Amazon craziness came down around them because of it.
Going over it again and again in his mind, the cocky bravado of all those phone calls to Lydia, calling her his workout partner, and the bullshit of "I'll mingle with the natives" spinning around and around until he just can't stand it anymore. He's driving way too fast so he knows he either has to calm down or he has to pull over and say something. He can't hold it in any longer and he can't do this while he's driving. Seeing red when you're really angry turns out to be true. He yanks the wheel when a pullout comes up and slides to a stop behind some trees in a cloud of road dirt showering down onto the trunk and windshield. Dean wakes up suddenly. Much faster than he'd thought possible since Dean had emptied Bobby's flask just a half hour ago.
"What the hell Sam, what's goin' on?" Dean's instantly awake when the car jerks to a stop, checking for danger, seeing where Sam is, snapping right back into that instant life-long protective alert status.
"You, me, this car which isn't even ours, that's all we've got left. And god damnit, I'm not gonna lose you to some stupid STD or psycho barfly monster, I'm just not. Not after everything we've been through, everything we've fucking survived!" Sam explodes, gesturing dramatically.
Dean raises his hands in the universal calming gesture, wondering what the hell brought all this on, and says as soothingly as he can, "All right, all right, calm down."
"Don't you tell me to calm down, you told me to shut up about it! And I tried, but I can't! Just, you've gotta let me say this, then I swear I'll shut up."
Another one of these bitchfests, oh joy, Dean resigns himself to just getting through it, "Whatever, go ahead, I'll listen if it means I can go back to sleep."
Seeing a deeper shade of red, Sam yells "Oh you're going to listen alright" and crashes out of the car and stalks around to the passenger door and pulls Dean out by the arms, and shoves him up against the back door, pinning him with his hands on his shoulders. Sam takes a deep breath and looks Dean right in the eyes. Dean's eyes widen as he realizes how angry Sam really is and swallows, his brother is actually a little scary like this, he's not used to having Sam's fury directed at him.
"Dean you are worth more than this, you know you are. And if you don't know that, then you listen to me and you listen good." Sam takes one hand off Dean's shoulder and pokes him hard right in the chest, gesturing with each phrase, he's on a roll now, unstoppable, "You are everything to me" poke
"You are my hero" poke
"I owe you my life so many times I've lost count" poke
"I don't care how much you tease me, I'm telling you this, I. Love. You. Dean. More than I ever thought it was possible to love someone." Sam grips Dean's biceps, almost shaking him, needing so much for him to listen.
But Dean's not doing anything, not saying anything, eyes wide in shock, just looking at him like he's not sure what Sam's talking about. Because he's not sure, they never say things like this to each other, and the desperation he's hearing in his brother's voice is really disturbing. Why is Sam so damn upset?
"Dean I know you think you're worthless, but think about this, you are the most important person in the whole world to me, I count on you, I trust you, I value you, and most of all I love you. Unless you think I'm an idiot then you've got to believe me, you are a worthwhile person."
Still no response from Dean, but he's not throwing punches, or stalking off, or yelling, maybe he's listening, Sam's not sure but he can't stop now that he's started, he's got to see this through to the end. Then Dean shakes his head back and forth, like he's rejecting what Sam's said to him, just flat out not accepting any of it.
Sam can't take it any more seeing his brother so beaten down and broken that he doesn't think he's worth anything. "You can't keep throwing yourself away like this! It's not fair! Not to you and not to me! It's not the deal I thought we'd made, us against the world! Or isn't that what you want anymore? Have you just given up on me? On us? Or what? Help me out here Dean, because I can't take this. Just the thought of losing you forever for something so fucking stupid, just because you needed sex or to prove something, just, it's too much. I can't do this anymore. Something's gotta change." Sam's just vibrating, thrumming with the power of his words, the need for Dean to hear him.
But there's no answer coming, just the sound of Dean breathing in time with Sam's quickened breath after all that emoting.
"Well?" Sam demands, furious that Dean's not responding at all, just looking at him, stunned, almost frightened. And Sam feels his tears welling up, he's so frustrated that Dean's not getting this, not hearing him, but he can't cry, not like this.
Yeah Dean heard him, but all he can think to say will sound stupid, and it's tearing him up inside that Sam's so upset with him, that he's fucked everything up so thoroughly, so he just apologizes as sincerely as possible, hoping that will get him out of this, "I'm sorry that I put you through all that."
"And?" Sam says with a barely controlled anger, realizing that Dean has completely missed the point. Is it willful blindness or does he not believe him?
Dean really does not want to talk about this, not with Sam, not with anyone, but he can see in his brother's eyes that he's got to give him something here, so he says the bare minimum, just about the sex part of what seems to be Sam's endless issues, "I don't know what else to do Sam, I hadn't gotten any since, I can't even remember when, it mighta been back as far as Lisa, and that's just not me, going without for so long, and I wanted to be me again."
Almost laughing that of course his brother will choose to only talk about the sex part of what he's yelling at him about, "Dean, that's not how you used to be, you weren't reckless with sex like that, I know you weren't."
Ashamed to be reminded, Dean ducks his head down, answering with a wry self-criticism, "Yeah, you got me there, and believe me I learned my lesson. Won't happen again, I'll wear two next time."
That's all he's gotten out of this? Sam's starting to see red again, and he says tightly, barely holding back all the anger he feels, "There's where you're wrong."
Now Dean really doesn't get what Sam is talking about, doesn't he want him to have safer sex? "Whatta you mean?"
The control Sam had over his anger is slipping, his voice going even harder and sharper, "You're not going to need to wear anything, not ever again."
This is making less sense the more he hears, Dean really doesn't understand what Sam means, "What the hell are you even talking about?"
The damn breaks, Sam can't hold this back, it's where he's been heading this whole time, and now here it comes, delivered in a voice that does not allow for any compromise, "Because, you're not gonna be with anyone else but me, from now on."
Dean feels an instant frisson of arousal at Sam's possessive words which really freaks him out, and he doesn't want to think about why, but he covers it up with that big brother hostile teasing tone that usually works, "Oh really, who says so?"
The little brother in Sam automatically wants to responds in kind, but Sam resists and he clearly lays it out there for his brother to hear, no teasing or hostility, just the bare, honest truth."Me, I say so. I've gotta take care of you Dean, you're not doing it, so it's my turn now."
That frisson is back even stronger now, is it the thought of Sam taking care of him, or of him being Sam's? He's gotta be misinterpreting this, there's no way that's really what Sam means, "Like you'd ever even do that with me, give me a fuckin' break Sammy, this shit isn't helping anything."
Sam thinks, God, he's really not hearing this, how much clearer does he need to have spelled out for him, fine I'll just say it, then he'll have to listen. Sam responds with such intensity and heat, "I mean it, I really do Dean. You're mine and no one else's from now on."
Dean laughs, unbelieving, loud and cruelly, "Yeah right, whatever dude."
"You're not listening to me, so I guess I'll have to show you." Sam is certain that this is the only course of action he's got left here, he's just going to have to go for it and show Dean what he means.
"What've you got Sammy? What? You gonna let me fuck you?" Dean snarls.
"Yeah, fuck yeah, anything, everything, all of it. Because I want this Dean, and I know you do too. We need to be together."
"When did you come up with this brilliant plan? Because it's kinda coming' outta left field here."
"Oh c'mon, it's always been there, we just never talk about it, and after what happened today, I'm at the point where I just don't care anymore about what's been stopping me."
"You're not serious."
"Like a heart-attack."
"Huh. Bring it on then."
"What you want some right here, right now, on the side of the road?"
"Yeah, if that's what you're offering, since you think I'm such a slut and all."
"That's not what I was saying. Not at all."
"Well that's what I heard."
"You missed the part where I said I love you? Figures."
"Hey, all that emo at once, it was hard to keep track of Sammy, so get on with it I guess."
"You asshole."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever, if I'm not getting any then what was all that ruckus about?"
Sam can't help it, those tears that were simmering and barely held back burst out now. "Dean, I just told you all that, and you didn't even listen. What is the fucking use trying to tell you? All you understand is actions huh? Fine, that's what you want, that's what you get. But I'm not shutting up Dean, not 'til you get what I'm saying. I mean it."
"Whatever dude, I'd rather just go back to sleep at this point." Dean tries desperately to sound dismissive and nonchalant in the face of what Sam seems to be offering.
"Fuck you." Sam's almost crushed that Dean is leaving this all up to him, he thought he'd be on the same page with him by now.
"Sure thing Sammy, as I said before, Bring.It.On." Dean issues the challenge, not really thinking Sam will follow through, but still that frisson of arousal is there, tickling low through his belly and he's hoping, kinda sorta hoping that Sam's really doing this.
Sam wipes his hands across his eyes, clearing away the tears and looking at Dean, who's realized that Sam's not kidding and all of a sudden he's looking like he wants to run away, but he doesn't, he stays, and Sam smiles knowing he's caught him now and says low and dangerous, "Take off your boots."
"What you gotta foot fetish I don't know about?" Dean's final attempt to deflect all this, to break out of the hold Sam has on him utterly fails. He's lost to this need to find out what happens next, it's taken him over, it's all up to Sam now.
"Just get them off, now, socks too." Sam crosses his arms, looking down at Dean sternly.
"Fine, bossy." Dean's eyes widen in surprise at the command, and then he's completely surprised to feel that little frisson burst into full-on desire, triggered by his brother taking control like this.
Sam saw it, when it changed for Dean just now. "Don't front Dean, I know you love it."
Dean bends and unties his boots, yanks off his socks, throwing them into the car through the open passenger door.
Sam comes up close now and grabs Dean's waistband pulling him in closer, "these come off next."
Dean's hands are a little shaky, but he unbuttons his jean's buttons one by one and shoves them down, pulls them off and throws them in the car after his boots.
Sam looks him up and down, seeing the hard line of Dean's full cock on display through his boxer briefs. He can't help but run his hand firmly up and down a couple times. Dean gasps in surprise and then groans as Sam squeezes him, starting up a rhythm. Sam feels the wetness through the cotton, "You're getting so wet for me Dean, take these off now, your shirt too."
Dean looks him in the eye, still challenging, but he does it, he pulls his boxers off and tears off his shirt and then he's standing there completely naked and completely turned on in front of his fully-clothed brother, on the side of the highway. Sam's feels like he's thrumming with this weird power now, having gotten his brother to this state with just a few words, "Now's the fun part, I always wanted to do this on the Impala, but this car is close enough I guess. It'll have to do."
Sam pulls him in tight, feeling Dean pressed up against him shoulder to knees, wishing he was naked too, but that's not what this is about, not tonight, not yet. He roams his hands from his brother's shoulders down to his ass, stroking and massaging, enjoying hearing the moans coming from him. He leans down and brushes his lips against Dean. "This is how it's always gonna be Dean, from now on, me lovin' you, just like this." He kisses him more firmly, Dean responding this time, turning his own head so that he's at the right angle and just opens up for his brother. Sam takes it, takes it all from Dean, exploring his whole mouth, learning his taste and texture, sucking, licking, biting until they both have to pull apart gasping.
"No one else, just me." Sam whispers in Dean's ear, making him shiver.
"You keep kissing me like that I could get used to the idea." Dean rasps out in a thick raspy voice that neither of them recognize.
So Sam does just that for a long time, kissing his beautiful, broken, frustrating, possibly suicidal brother senseless, almost losing track of what he means to do next until Dean starts up an insistent rutting rhythm against his thigh and grabbing for his hard, jeans-enclosed cock, it wakes him up to the fact he doesn't have much more time.
"Not like that Dean, not this time. This is all about you right now. Up you go." And he reaches down, grabs Dean around the waist and lifts him up to set him down on the roof of the car.
Dean can't help but squawk in surprise, "What're you doing?"
"Going to church." Sam murmurs as he moves in between his brother's spread, dangling legs as close as he can, running his hands up his thighs.
"Not getting it Sammy, wouldja say something that makes sense." Dean's completely flailing now, he'd thought Sam was kidding, just another game of gay chicken like they do sometimes, and now he's up here on the damn car roof and his brother is standing down there looking up at him like he's worshipping at an altar or some damn thing. This look of awe and devotion transforming his familiar face into something he can't help but think of as beautiful.
Sam holds him around the waist, his head resting just above Dean's navel. He bends his head back, looking up into his brother's face. "You're so beautiful Dean, like one of those renaissance paintings I studied in art history class at school, you're so beautiful to me. I'm here to worship you."
Dean shrugs up his shoulders, closing in on himself, drops his head to his chest, not meeting Sam's eyes anymore and grumbles, "Shut up."
"Listen to me. You are beautiful." He leans up on tiptoes, pulling Dean down into another warm sloppy kiss, holding his face gently between his hands, saying as he pulls back, "My beautiful beautiful man."
Dean looks down at him helplessly, so turned on he can't even think straight, his heart pounding, and it's just overwhelming having Sam pour all this love and shit on him all at once, he can't deal with hearing it, can't deal with knowing he'd never be able to do the same for Sam, he practically begs, "Sam, you know I can't."
"I know, its okay. Just let me Dean, please just listen." Sam holds Dean's gaze like he's hypnotized him completely. Somehow Dean just can't look away, riveted to what his brother is doing to him. He's transfixed by seeing, finally really seeing all that love on his brother's face, that's there, all just for him. Sam slowly traces the tattoo over Dean's heart with one light fingertip and Dean can't help but shiver. Sam lays his palm flat over it, covering Dean's heart, feeling it throb beneath his touch, pulse speeding up at the contact.
Sam trails his hands down Dean's chest, circling his nipples several times, caressing back and forth over his abs, hands coming to rest on his hips, still holding his brother's gaze, "You're everything I want Dean, everything. You Dean, I want all of you, every part, the good and the bad. I always have. I always will."
Sam shifts down until his head is even with Dean's foot, holding his ankle, and slowly kisses every inch of Dean's left foot and up the inside of his calf to his knee, holding Dean's eyes while he says "Dean, Know that you are unconditionally loved, always, no matter what."
As he repeats it all on the right side, he meets Dean's eyes again, "I Love You Completely."
Sam kisses his way up Dean's right inner thigh, stopping where it meets the inside of his hip and sucks a deep bruised mark into the thin skin. Dean groans and his cock jerks up. Sam looks up and meets Dean's eyes again and says, "You are beyond precious to me." Dean moans when Sam moves away from his crotch as Sam's hair brushes over his very hard, impatient cock.
Sam starts kissing his way up Dean's left inner thigh, and stops to suck a matching mark on his hip bone. He raises his head and meets Dean's eyes again, "I can't live without you, you know that."
He leans in and licks a slow spiral around Dean's navel, turns his head resting it on his thigh, looking up into Dean's lust-blown eyes, "You are mine."
Sam reaches up and traces Dean's lips with one finger, still holding his gaze, "I am yours." Dean is panting now, not just turned-on, but turned inside-out with what his brother has done here. He's feeling like he's been torn into a million pieces and reassembled by Sam's words and touches. He has never felt like this before in his whole life.
Sam rests his hands on Dean's thighs, rubbing his fingers gently back and forth at the edge of his wiry curls. He smiles up at Dean, taking in the incredible look on his brother's face, and says with a curious finality, "That's what I wanted to say Dean, can you accept it all, do you believe me?"
Dean looks at him with tear-filled eyes, sees his brother standing there between his legs, shining with love and devotion and lust and possession, he reaches to take Sam's hands and squeezes them, feels a letting go of all the reserve and hesitation of the years spent keeping this hidden, "Yeah Sammy, yeah I do."
"Good, because now I can do this." Sam puts Dean's hands in his hair and leans over to lick his cock from the base all the way to the tip. Dean's body surges forward as if hit by an electrical shock, and Sam's hands hold his thighs down to the car's roof harder. Sam spirals his tongue around the tip, and then back and forth licking into the slit. Loud groans and sighs are coming from somewhere, he's not sure who is making them, so he goes back to sucking Dean all the way in as far as he can. Dean is producing a stream of incoherent noises interspersed with a rumbling chant of Sammy God Don't Stop So Good repeating over and over, his hips trying to thrust up into Sam's mouth, gripping his hands tight in Sam's hair. Sam hollows his cheeks and sucks just a little harder as he pulls up twisting his tongue around the tip and Dean gives up then, he surrenders everything he's been holding back, all of it comes flooding out just for Sam, into Sam, and Sam takes it all, swallows it all, humming happily, knowing this was what his brother needed.
After awhile Dean comes back around to himself, recognizing that exquisite feeling that's almost pain, almost pleasure is his brother licking his completely spent cock clean, that he is perched on top of their car completely naked on the side of the highway in the middle of the night, and that he's the happiest he's been in fucking years. It's the damndest thing, Sam has managed to blow him, blow his mind, and fix the hole in his heart he's been carrying around for what seems like forever. He runs his fingers through Sam's hair and whispers, just a little bit sadly, "You know I'll never be able to do this for you, right Sam?"
"Yeah, I know, not expecting it. Just wanted to take care of you, make you feel good."
"Good? Yeah I'd say I feel pretty damned good Sammy, looks like your evil plan worked."
"How was it evil?"
"Oh you know, using hypnosis or whatever it was to make me comply with your orders and just taking over like that so I'd listen to you."
Laughter is the only response when he hears his brother, the well-know King of Denial come up with that one, "Well, so long as it worked."
Dean reaches down and caresses Sam's cheek gently, a new softness around his eyes, like something has relaxed that's been holding tight for years. "Yeah it did, guess I needed that. Thanks."
Sam smiles up at his beautiful brother, hoping that if he's thanking him that maybe it really did work. "You're welcome. Ready to get down?"
"Will the fun never end?" Dean scootches himself forward to the edge of the roof of the car, wincing as his sticky balls grab onto the roof. Sam lifts him down slowly, sliding his body down his own until Dean touches down. Sam pulls him in tight and rests his head on his shoulder so he can whisper into Dean's neck, "I really do love you, you know?"
"Yeah, I got that."
"Good." Sam hugs him tight, like he could seal the acceptance of his love into Dean's body somehow, so he'll never lose track of it again.
"Can I put my clothes back on now? Can't believe you did this on the side of the freaking road Sam."
"Had to be done, and yeah, put 'em back on, I'll keep driving for a while." Sam can't believe his brother is asking him whether he can put his clothes back on. Maybe he read him wrong and he's a whole lot more submissive than he'd ever thought possible. That particular subject Sam decides to table for another day though.
"What about your, you know." Dean waves his hand at Sam's obviously hard erection distorting the front of his jeans.
Sam thinks for a minute and decides that he'll push a little more to see if he's right about the submissive thing, "I'll be okay, 'm saving it for you, for when we get closer to Portland and find a motel."
"Oh really?"
"Yes really Dean, you think about that while we're driving." With that line saucily delivered, Sam folds himself into the driver's seat and waits to see how his brother reacts. Will he yell? Refuse to get in the car or …
"Well alright then." Dean slaps the roof of the Riviera and settles into the passenger seat. Sam pulls out back onto the highway with a roar, leaving behind another cloud of dirt.
A little further down the road, being Sam, he of course has to ask, to make sure that consent wasn't really an issue remaining between them, "Dean if this wasn't okay with you, you'd have stopped me, right?"
"Yeah Sam, it's all good. When you're right, you're really right I guess."
"Still wish I coulda done it on the Impala, always wanted to, have it be on Her, how I always pictured it."
"Yeah it woulda been even better. Guess when we get Her back you can give it another try. But really, you've been wanting to do this with me? For how long?"
"Pretty sure, you don't really want to know that Dean."
"Try me Sammy."
Honesty's the new policy, so Sam goes with it, "Since the time we killed that shapeshifter that was into all those monster movies."
"That's a long time ago, why then?"
"You were just back from hell, and were so messed up and empty and you were going on and on about being re-hymenated and then you went off with Jamie or whatever her name was. And I didn't want you to, I wanted you to go with me, do everything for the first time with me, but I couldn't ask. I could tell you needed something to fill you up after hell and I wanted it to be me."
"Wish you had said something, I would have said yes."
"Really even back then?"
"Yeah really, Sam, like you said it was always there and we never talked about it, and you were right, it should have been you."
"I wish it had been me too."
"Well it wasn't and this took too long to finally happen, but now it has and Sammy have you thought about how this is gonna change stuff, you know between us?"
"Most of the things I can see happening are upsides. For me I'll get regular sex with someone besides myself, I finally get to be honest with you, and I'll feel better knowing you're not risking yourself out there on the meat market. For you, I figure you'll get regular sex with someone who loves you (which you now know is fundamentally different than just sex), and maybe you'll be able to trust me more since I'm going to be fully honest with you. Downsides are if we have a fight then no sex for a while."
"Yeah, but I've heard make-up sex is pretty awesome."
"What, you wanna have a fight?"
"No I really don't, I hate fighting with you, I wanna have that other kind of sex you were talking about."
"What, sex with someone who loves you?"
"Uh, yeah I guess."
Sam reaches over for Dean's hand, holding it tight, "That's all it's ever gonna be Dean, from here on out."
Dean doesn't answer, he just grins, and lowers himself down so his head is resting on Sam's thigh, settling in to go to sleep, letting go of Sam's hand so he can snake his own hand around between Sam's lower back and the seat. Sam's hand drops into his brother's short hair, scratching through in a little massaging motion making Dean sigh and relax. Sam just drives now, still hard, still thinking about what's going to happen when they get to a motel, and still thinking about what they've just done. He can't believe how happy he is right now, everything's changed, but it all feels like it's changed into what it was always meant to be. All he knows for sure is that he's finally got someone of his own to take care of.

Calling all companies! Apply for three chances to pitch at Early Stage Symposium! Applications will be accepted through Sept. 29 from young companies that want to tell their stories to investors at our annual Wisconsin Early Stage Symposium #ESSWI, to be held Nov. 15-16 at Madison's Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center.
The 2017 format includes two pitch opportunities – the Tech Council Investor Networks track and the popular Elevator Pitch Olympics – as well as a repeat segment that debuted in 2016, "Investor Intros," which will allow pre-selected companies brief, one-on-one meetings with targeted angel and venture investors.
Instructions for how to apply for all or a mix of the investor presentation opportunities are found at www.wisearlystage.com on the Presenting Companies tab.
All applicants must register in advance for the conference at a discounted rate of $169. Companies selected for the Tech Council Investor Networks track presentations will also receive a complimentary individual membership to the Tech Council's Innovation Network for one year (a $120 value). Team members of these companies will be eligible to attend the conference at a special team rate.
The deadline to apply online is 5 p.m. Friday, Sept. 29. Here are the three company forums; companies may apply for one, two or all three!
Tech Council Investor Networks Track – Wednesday, Nov. 15:
These tracks will feature more than 20 companies from the Midwest representing an array of industries, such as advanced manufacturing, biotechnology, health care, information technology, medical device and mobile application sectors.
Companies selected will have many opportunities to interest investors: a five-minute presentation, networking receptions, an executive summary published in the investor-only program and an opportunity to exhibit where investors may speak directly to presenting companies. Selected companies will also be invited to participate in a pre-conference practice session with a group of mentors.
Elevator Pitch Olympics – Thursday, Nov. 16:
Companies or entrepreneurs selected for the Elevator Pitch Olympics will give a 90-second pitch in front of conference attendees and a panel of six to eight investors. The investors will score the presenter on a scale of 1 to 5, focusing on whether the pitch was compelling enough to arrange a follow-up meeting, and will offer immediate feedback.
About 15 companies will be selected for the Elevator Pitch Olympics. In past years, these have been companies just forming, seeking a smaller investment round or planning to do so within the next year.
Investor Intros – Thursday, Nov. 16:
Returning this year are the Investor Intros. Companies selected for the Investor Intros will have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with investors from Wisconsin and beyond. To foster this type of communication, the Investor Intros will feature pre-scheduled, 7-minute strategic meetings between investors and emerging companies. This format will resemble a "speed dating" exercise, allowing both parties to learn more about each other and explore potential relationships.
The conference will also feature:

It's possible to get or download caterpillar-wiring diagram from several websites. If you take a close look at the diagram you will observe the circuit includes the battery, relay, temperature sensor, wire, and a control, normally the engine control module. With an extensive collection of electronic symbols and components, it's been used among the most completed, easy and useful wiring diagram drawing program. Pa300 Siren Wiring Diagram. The wiring diagram on the opposite hand is particularly beneficial to an outside electrician. Sometimes wiring diagram may also refer to the architectural wiring program. The simplest approach to read a home wiring diagram is to begin at the source, or the major power supply. Basically, the home wiring diagram is simply utilized to reveal the DIYer where the wires are.
If you can't locate the information, get in touch with the manufacturer. The info in the diagram doesn't indicate a power or ground supply. The intention of the fuse is to safeguard the wiring and electrical components on its circuit. A typical watch's basic objective is to tell you the good time of day. When selecting the best type of computer cable to fulfill your requirements, it is very important to consider your upcoming technology plans.
Installing a tachometer on your Vehicles can assist in preventing critical repair problems, however. You might have a weak ground issue. The way the brain learns is a subject that still requires a good deal of study. How it learns can be associated by how it is able to create memories.
In a parallel circuit, each unit is directly linked to the power supply, so each system gets the exact voltage. There are 3 basic sorts of standard light switches. The circuit needs to be checked with a volt tester whatsoever points. Pa300 Siren Wiring Diagram. Each circuit displays a distinctive voltage condition. You are able to easily step up the voltage to the necessary level utilizing an inexpensive buck-boost transformer and steer clear of such issues. The voltage is the sum of electrical power produced by the battery. Be sure that the new fuse isn't blown, and carries the very same amperage.
Each fuse is going to have a suitable amp rating for those devices it's protecting. The wiring is merely a bit complicated. Our automotive wiring diagrams permit you to relish your new mobile electronics in place of spend countless hours attempting to work out which wires goes to which Ford part or component. Overall the wiring is really straight forward. There's a lot wiring that you've got to tie into your truck's wiring harness, but it's much easier to do than it seems. A ground wire offers short circuit protection and there's no neutral wire used. There's one particular wire leading from the distributor which may be used for the tachometer.
When you have just a single cable going into the box, you're at the close of the run, and you've got the simplest scenario possible. All trailer plugs and sockets are extremely easy to wire. The adapter has the essential crosslinks between the signals. Wiring a 7-pin plug on your truck can be a bit intimidating when you're looking at it from beyond the box.
The control box may have over three terminals. After you have the correct size box and have fed the cable to it, you're almost prepared to permit the wiring begin. Then there's also a fuse box that's for the body controls that is situated under the dash. Pa300 Siren Wiring Diagram. You will find that every circuit has to have a load and every load has to have a power side and a ground side. Make certain that the transformer nameplate power is enough to supply the load that you're connecting.
The bulb has to be in its socket. Your light can be wired to the receiver and don't require supply additional capacity to light as it can get power from receiver. In the event the brake lights aren't working, a police officer may block the vehicle and issue a warning to create the repair within a particular time limit. Even though you would still must power the relay with a power source or battery. Verify the power is off before trying to attach wires. In case it needs full capacity to begin, it won't operate in any way.
Replacing thermostat on your own without a Denver HVAC technician can be quite harrowing if you don't hook up the wiring correctly. After the plumbing was cut out, now you can get rid of the old pool pump. It's highly recommended to use a volt meter to make sure there is no voltage visiting the motor, sometimes breakers do not get the job done properly, also you might have turned off the incorrect breaker. Remote distance is left up to 500m. You may use a superior engine ground. The second, that's the most frequently encountered problem, is a weak ground in the computer system. Diagnosing an electrical short can be extremely tough and costly.

I just found out by an answer of Duntuk that we have these directory's on the DA servers:
However, my latest exim.conf is version 4.5.9 and it won't update to 4.5.10 in spite of the fact that eximconf=yes in options.conf.
And when I try:
it gets an error:Code:./build set eximconf_release 4.5
4.6 is not a valid setting for eximconf_release option.
So why are the 4.5.10 and 4.6.0 present while we can't upgrade to these versions?
This makes me curious.

LOS ANGELES — Here at Digital Hollywood yesterday, HP announced that YouTube clips would be made available on the soon-to-be-released MediaSmart Connect digital media receiver.
The box acts as a connection between multiple PC's and Macs around the house to television sets. HP is squarely taking on Apple TV with the new device which will be shipped in June. The retail price is not available.
Yesterday at the show, I interviewed Carlos Montalvo, vice president of marketing and services, Connected Entertainment Business, HP.
Similar to clips on the iPhone, this is not the full YouTube offering, but specially curated channels by YouTube for the new service. The channels offered through the box will be high quality, encoded in H.264, not HD in the true sense, but the files will look good enough to blow-up on the big screen.
If you haven't noticed, the quality of YouTube clips is getting better as the transition to encoding via H.264 is pervading more of the content. Our Beet.TV channel on YouTube is looking very good.
If you want your videos to look better on YouTube, work on your encoding and you can upload giant files as big as 1 GB. If anyone wants to share their advice on the best encoding, file format and bit rates for YouTube, please comment below.

Making a Ping-Pong bot
One of the first steps to getting started with the Discord API is to write a basic ping-pong bot. We will expand on this to create more diverse commands later, but for now, it is a good starting point.
Creating a Discord Bot
Before you can begin writing your bot, it is necessary to create a bot account on Discord.
- Visit the Discord Applications Portal
- Create a New Application
- Give the application a name (this will be the bot's initial username).
- Create the Application
- In the application review page, click Create a Bot User
- Confirm the popup
- If this bot will be public, check 'Public Bot'. Do not tick any other options!
Adding your bot to a server
Bots can not use invite links, they must be explicitly invited through the OAuth2 flow.
- Open your bot's application on the Discord Applications Portal
- Retrieve the app's Client ID.
- Create an OAuth2 authorization URL
https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=<CLIENT ID>&scope=bot
- Open the authorization URL in your browser
- Select a server
Only servers where you have the
MANAGE_SERVER permission will be
present in this list.
- Click authorize
Connecting to Discord
If you have not already created a project and installed Discord.Net, do that now. (see the Installing section)
Discord.Net uses .NET's Task-based Asynchronous Pattern (TAP) extensively - nearly every operation is asynchronous.
It is highly recommended that these operations be awaited in a properly established async context whenever possible. Establishing an async context can be problematic, but not hard.
To do so, we will be creating an async main in your console application, and rewriting the static main method to invoke the new async main.
using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace MyBot
public class Program
public static void Main(string[] args)
=> new Program().MainAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult();
public async Task MainAsync()
As a result of this, your program will now start, and immidiately jump into an async context. This will allow us later on to create a connection to Discord, without needing to worry about setting up the correct async implementation.
If your application throws any exceptions within an async context, they will be thrown all the way back up to the first non-async method. Since our first non-async method is the program's Main method, this means that all unhandled exceptions will be thrown up there, which will crash your application. Discord.Net will prevent exceptions in event handlers from crashing your program, but any exceptions in your async main will cause the application to crash.
Creating a logging method
Before we create and configure a Discord client, we will add a method to handle Discord.Net's log events.
To allow agnostic support of as many log providers as possible, we log information through a Log event, with a proprietary LogMessage parameter. See the API Documentation for this event.
If you are using your own logging framework, this is where you would invoke it. For the sake of simplicity, we will only be logging to the Console.
using Discord;
using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace MyBot
public class Program
public static void Main(string[] args)
=> new Program().MainAsync().GetAwaiter().GetResult();
public async Task MainAsync()
private Task Log(LogMessage msg)
return Task.CompletedTask;
Creating a Discord Client
Finally, we can create a connection to Discord. Since we are writing a bot, we will be using a DiscordSocketClient, along with socket entities. See the terminology if you're unsure of the differences.
To do so, create an instance of DiscordSocketClient in your async main, passing in a configuration object only if necessary. For most users, the default will work fine.
Before connecting, we should hook the client's log event to the log handler that was just created. Events in Discord.Net work similarly to other events in C#, so hook this event the way that you typically would.
Next, you will need to 'login to Discord' with the
LoginAsync method.
You may create a variable to hold your bot's token (this can be found on your bot's application page on the Discord Applications Portal).
Your bot's token can be used to gain total access to your bot, so do NOT share this token with anyone! It may behoove you to store this token in an external file if you plan on distributing the source code for your bot.
We may now invoke the client's
StartAsync method, which will
start connection/reconnection logic. It is important to note that
this method returns as soon as connection logic has been started!
Any methods that rely on the client's state should go in an event handler.
Connection logic is incomplete as of the current build. Events will soon be added to indicate when the client's state is ready for use; (rewrite this section when possible)
Finally, we will want to block the async main method from returning until after the application is exited. To do this, we can await an infinite delay, or any other blocking method, such as reading from the console.
The following lines can now be added:
// Program.cs
using Discord.WebSocket;
// ...
public async Task MainAsync()
var client = new DiscordSocketClient();
client.Log += Log;
string token = "abcdefg..."; // Remember to keep this private!
await client.LoginAsync(TokenType.Bot, token);
await client.StartAsync();
// Block this task until the program is closed.
await Task.Delay(-1);
At this point, feel free to start your program and see your bot come online in Discord.
Encountering a
PlatformNotSupportedException when starting your bot?
This means that you are targeting a platform where .NET's default
WebSocket client is not supported. Refer to the installing guide
for how to fix this.
Handling a 'ping'
Now that we have learned how to open a connection to Discord, we can begin handling messages that users are sending.
To start out, our bot will listen for any message where the content
is equal to
!ping, and respond back with
Since we want to listen for new messages, the event to hook in to is MessageReceived.
In your program, add a method that matches the signature of the
MessageReceived event - it must be a method (
Func) that returns the
Task, and takes a single parameter, a SocketMessage. Also,
since we will be sending data to Discord in this method, we will flag
it as
In this method, we will add an
if block, to determine if the message
content fits the rules of our scenario - recall that it must be equal
Inside the branch of this condition, we will want to send a message
back to the channel from which the message came -
Pong!. To find the
channel, look for the
Channel property on the message parameter.
Next, we will want to send a message to this channel. Since the
channel object is of type SocketMessageChannel, we can invoke the
SendMessageAsync instance method. For the message content, send back
a string containing 'Pong!'.
You should have now added the following lines:
public async Task MainAsync()
// client.Log ...
client.MessageReceived += MessageReceived;
// ...
private async Task MessageReceived(SocketMessage message)
if (message.Content == "!ping")
await message.Channel.SendMessageAsync("Pong!");
Now, your first bot is complete. You may continue to add on to this if you desire, but for any bot that will be carrying out multiple commands, it is strongly encouraged to use the command framework, as shown below.
For your reference, you may view the completed program.
Building a bot with commands
This section will show you how to write a program that is ready for commands. Note that this will not be explaining how to write commands or services, it will only be covering the general structure.
For reference, view an annotated example of this structure.
It is important to know that the recommended design pattern of bots should be to separate the program (initialization and command handler), the modules (handle commands), and the services (persistent storage, pure functions, data manipulation).

Slavisa Jokanovic admitted his future at Fulham is out of his control after the Cottagers fell to a 1-0 defeat at Huddersfield on Monday thanks to Timothy Fosu-Mensah's own goal.
Jokanovic was under intense pressure following five straight defeats in all competitions and his side's performance means he remains among the favourites to be the first Premier League manager sacked this season.
Speaking to BBC Sport after the game, Jokanovic urged his side to be brave in future matches but stated it remains in his players' hands to turn the current state of affairs at Craven Cottage around.
He said: "We're disappointed we didn't play well enough or show enough intensity, especially in the first 45 minutes.
"We found some improvement but it wasn't enough to equalise.
"They must fight - this is a tough competition. There are 27 games ahead of us, we didn't show a positive reaction and we must be brave and look for improvement. At the moment it is not enough at this level and it's in our hands."
Thank you to the #FFC fans who joined us at the game tonight. You deserved better. Safe journey home. pic.twitter.com/wrK17gpjkw— Fulham Football Club (@FulhamFC) November 5, 2018
Speaking on the current speculation surrounding his future as Fulham manager, the former Watford boss admitted he can only look ahead to the next game.
He added: "This is my job, that is it. I know in this kind of situation many things can happen but it is outside of my control. I will follow my plan and work with the team. I must find the solution and other people, if they need to say something they can use some words.
"We know we can play better, show more intensity and be more solid and win the game."

H was the last of the letters assigned to original routes of the Independent Subway System of the New York City Subway in the 1930s. It was designated as the dedicated service letter of the IND Fulton Street Line in Brooklyn.
The letter was intended to be used for a Fulton Street local, to run from Court Street, an isolated stub-end station in downtown Brooklyn, to the future Euclid Avenue station near the border with Queens. The service, to be designated HH (the double letter denoting a local train) was to provide local service on the Fulton Street Line, with express service on the 4-track line provided by express train through routed from Manhattan. When service on the Fulton Street Line began, the Manhattan trains provided the local service, and the HH ran only as a one-stop shuttle to connect Court Street with Hoyt Street-Schermerhorn Street, where connections with other lines could be made.
During the mid-1980s and early 1990s, the Rockaway Park Shuttle train between Euclid Avenue and Broad Channel was denoted as the H and featured a white "H" on a blue background, similar to that of the A, C or E. Today, the H designation is not in external use, but is used internally when the Metropolitan Transportation Authority refers to the Rockaway Park Shuttle.
