Ask Sean to fix the images and to remove the vote, which is clearly an abusive one for the given context.

It's a blog post article, and the images have disappeared there, when I changed hosts, so Sean won't be able to help, but I've already restored all but the last one. I'll just recreate it if I have to.

check the links to where you have uploaded the photos to.
you may need to upload them to your article.
Some people here will give a 1 for anything, Don't take it personal.
If the article is good enough then the up votes will outweigh the downvote.

It's quite unfortunate, but there's people all too happy to pull the trigger.
BTW, the last image ought to be bigger, it seems like it's the most important pic and it's not very readable.

Thanks for the feedback Marc. Unfortunately the image is small, and stretching a bitmap is a smelly affair. I am hard at work recreating some images and will update soonest.

Members can vote any dang way they like. All are valid.
But for missing images or such, I wouldn't downvote, I'd report it.

Downvotes reflect the reader's experience. If it was obvious to the reader that the missing images were because of broken links or other publishing glitch then no, a downvote is out of order.
On the other hand, if it looked as though you just hadn't bothered to publish the images that were needed to understand the article properly, then it's understandable.
The images are there now, so I can' judge what it looked like - but gave you a 5 to compensate

I must be missing something in the article.
If the Cows were Sacred ,Why did they just sell them at market ?
Something just seems wrong about that.

In order to get money to send their sympathy. Masai, although not these days, are away from the World we live in. Their folk who came back from abroad would have told them the easier way. Cow has a really big importance in entire African culture. It is extremely different from Hindu (in India) culture though.

ok perhaps it was already understood that they would sell them for the money then, because that was the most valueable thing they had to give or donate.
When I read that it seemed like, if you gave Someone your most prized possesion as a blessing and they just went out and sold it on ebay for how ever much they could get.
Not like, Here take this and sell it and use the money for helping.

The thing is that these guys have little to no idea of what US is. so, someone must have guided them. I am no expert at Masai culture, but they would have preferred to send cows.
It is amazing someone who have no real clue about rest of World did gave away something that is divine to them. These guys are considered to be most violent/dangerous people, predominantly due to their amazing hunting skills. But they are really considerate.

Yes
They must have had great concern to give away something so valuable to them.

I think they are not contaminated like us with this modern World bullshit.

From MSDN, where else:
An async method provides a convenient way to do potentially long-running work without blocking the caller's thread. The caller (say, M1) of an async method can resume its work without waiting for the async method to finish. However, M1 typically uses the await keyword so that it returns immediately, allowing M1’s caller to resume work or return to the thread’s synchronization context (or message pump).
Does anyone else read that, in the second sentence, the caller is called "M1", but then in the third and fourth sentences, M1 is the "callee"?

Why did they even used M1? Caller is not really that big of a word.

Did you forget that you were reading MSDN?

No.
M1 uses await when it calls some other async method, and hence returns "immediately" allowing M1's caller to resume from the call site.

OK, you tell me. Is M1 the caller or the callee?
If I bend my mind enough, I think I see what you're saying.

It's both the caller and the callee. In the first sentence, it's the caller (of the async method). In the next sentence it's the callee.

Ok let's work through this. This is the way I understand what is being said. Note though that I am no "async" expert. In fact, I've never used the construct in C#. So, take it for what it's worth.
An async method provides a convenient way to do potentially long-running work without blocking the caller's thread.
This seems straightfoward.
The caller (say, M1) of an async method can resume its work without waiting for the async method to finish.
"The caller (say, M1)" -->
M1()
{
await asyncMethodName();
}
However, M1 typically uses the await keyword so that it returns immediately, allowing M1’s caller to resume work or return to the thread’s synchronization context (or message pump)
SomeOtherMethod()
{
M1();
M2();
}

I want to buy a tablet where different people can log in and access individual email accounts. I know Apple is out, what about Android? Or is a surface for me?
Thanks.
