If you're considering buying a surface acoustic wave (SAW) touchscreen, you might wonder whether they are long-lasting. Some touchscreens last longer than others. They are better protected against premature wear and tear, resulting in a longer usable life. And with their long-lasting properties, they offer greater value than their counterparts.
SAW Touchscreens Explained
To better understand whether SAW touchscreens are long-lasting, you must first understand the technology that powers them. SAW touchscreens are characterized by their use of ultrasonic waves. They produce, as well as sense, ultrasonic waves.
When you initially turn on a SAW touchscreen, it will produce ultrasonic waves across the display interface. Sensors on the opposite ends of the display interface will pick up and register these ultrasonic waves. Performing a touch command will disrupt the sound waves in the respective area of the display interface. The SAW touchscreen will then register this disruption as a touch event.
Yes, SAW Touchscreens Are Long-Lasting
Without any moving parts, SAW touchscreens are long-lasting. SAW touchscreens leverage transducers to detect touch commands. They use transmitting transducers to produce ultrasonic waves, and they use receiving transducers to receive and sense ultrasonic waves. Regardless, SAW touchscreens don't use any moving parts to detect touch commands.
SAW touchscreens still feature a glass top layer — just like many other touchscreens. But the glass layer doesn't move, nor does it feature any mechanical components. The glass layer is the top layer that, as previously mentioned, contains the transducers. SAW touchscreens use transmitting and receiving transducers to detect touch commands via ultrasonic waves.
How long do SAW touchscreens last exactly? Many of them last for over 50 million touches. Whether you're looking to buy a new touchscreen for personal or commercial usage, a SAW touchscreen will last a long time.
Other touchscreens may feature moving parts. Resistive touchscreens, for instance, have two layers. When you perform a touch command on a resistive touchscreen, you'll press the top layer into the bottom later. Over time, these movements can wear down resistive touchscreens while potentially shortening their usable life.
You can rest assured knowing that SAW touchscreens will last a very long time. SAW toushcreens don't contain any moving parts. Rather, they feature transducers on a glass top layer. Some of the transducers produce ultrasonic waves, whereas others receive and sense ultrasonic waves. Regardless, SAW touchscreens don't contain any moving parts, so they last longer than many other touchscreens.

Hitler's 'poison' taster
Then, a few months after her 95th birthday, she revealed the truth about her wartime role — as Adolf Hitler's food taster.
Woelk, then in her mid-20s, spent 2 1/2 years as one of 15 young women who sampled Hitler's food to make sure it wasn't poisoned before it was served to the Nazi leader in his "Wolf's Lair," the heavily guarded command center, in what is now Poland, in which he spent much of his time in the final years of World War II.
"He was a vegetarian. He never ate any meat during the entire time I was there," Woelk said of the Nazi despot. "And Hitler was so paranoid that the British would poison him. That's why he had 15 girls taste the food before he ate it himself."

What are the benefits and possible issues of different evidence staging methodologies.
The two primary methodologies for staging (storing) evidence are to either keep all evidence, for all projects, together in a location separate from the project/case folders, or to store the evidence for each project within their respective project's folders. Users should weigh the pros and cons of these methodologies to help in forming their Standard Operating Procedures. Regardless of the selected process, project folders and evidence should be stored in a location that is always accessible by the software, and should not be moved.
Storing Evidence Separately from Project Folders
- All evidence is in a central location.
- Users do not need direct access to the project folders.
- The same evidence can be easily used in multiple projects.
- Case backups made from DBConfig or FTK are smaller as they do not contain the evidence.
- Evidence is not deleted when a project is deleted (may also be a "Con" depending on the user's other SOP requirements).
- Evidence may need to be moved separately when restoring cases to new environments.
Storing Evidence Within Project Folders
- Evidence is located with the projects that they pertain to, which may lead to it being easier to find.
- Case backups made from DBConfig or FTK contain the evidence, simplifying restoring the backups to other environments.
- Users need full access to project folders.
- Finding/storing evidence may lead to accidental manipulation of project folder data.
- Multiple projects utilizing the same evidence may result in duplicate copies of the evidence.
- Case backups made from DBConfig or FTK are much bigger.
- Deleting a project also deletes its associated evidence (may also be a "Pro" depending on the user's other SOP requirements).
- Project folder storage may run out of space faster, resulting in processing issues.

Calpine opens energy center next to Shell DP, earns EPA recognition
Calpine's DPEC will produce enough electricity to power more than 1,000,000 Texas homes. Steam generated at the facility will also be sold under a long-term agreement to Shell Chemical Company. DPEC consists of four combustion turbines, one steam turbine generator and four heat recovery steam generators.
Combined-cycle power generation uses natural gas to produce two forms of energy - steam and electricity. Burning natural gas drives a turbine generator that produces electricity. Hot exhaust gasses from the turbine are then routed to a heat recovery steam generator. Heat from the heat recovery steam generator is absorbed by circulating water, producing steam to serve Shell Chemical's needs and to power a steam turbine generator that produces additional electricity.The steam is then condensed back into water and recirculated through the heat recovery steam generator, where the process begins again.
Also at the recent dedication ceremony of Calpine's new DPEC, the EPA and the U.S. Department of Energy recognized the first phase of the Calpine Corporation Deer Park Energy Center for "leadership in energy supply" with a Energy Star Combined Heat and Power Award.
The award "demonstrates Calpine's commitment to providing power in one of the most efficient and environmentally responsible ways possible." Thirty-three of Calpine's 69 natural gas facilities are CHP, representing nearly 9,700 megawatts of power and serving an aggregate steam load of up to 18 million pounds per hour. According to company material, "this makes Calpine the leading cogeneration company in the United States."
Ron Walter, Executive Vice President, Business Development, and one of Calpine's founders 20 years ago was on hand at the DPEC dedication ceremony, along with Calpine's Peter Hansen, Vice President, Business Development, who provided an overview of the project, Kellie Byerly, Vice President, Regional Power Executive, Andrew Siegelstein, Senior Project Manager, and William Chenette, Plant Manager.
Calpine's Deer Park Energy Center's first combustion turbine began operation in 2003, producing 178 megawatts of baseload power and up to 1.1 million pounds per hour of steam. Now that the facility is completed, it consists of four combustion turbines, one steam turbine generator and four heat recovery steam generators that can produce up to 1,007 megawatts of power. Steam is utilized by the joint Shell Deer Park Oil Refining Company and Shell Chemical LP manufacturing facility adjacent to Calpine's site. Calpine sells the electricity to its other industrial and residential customers in the deregulated Texas market, which provides competitive access for energy procurement.
A Calpine press release states that the new DPEC project "helps the Houston/Galveston area in its efforts to achieve Federal Clean Air Act Compliance. For instance, compared to the average fossil fueled power plants in the United States, Calpine's fleet emits, on a megawatt-hour basis, 96 percent less nitrogen oxide, a major cause of smog, nearly 100 percent less sulfur dioxide, a major cause of acid rain, 53.4 percent less carbon dioxide and almost 84 percent less particulate matter, a contributor to respiratory problems. Also, unlike coal-fired plants, Calpine's power plants have no mercury emissions, a major health hazard."
Calpine is a member of the EPA/CHP Partnership, which seeks to reduce the environmental impact of power generation by fostering the use of CHP. The EnergyStar CHP award recognizes projects that use at least 5 percent less fuel than state-of-the-art separate power-and-heat generation. By significantly improving efficiency, award-winning projects save money while reducing greenhouse gases, such as C02, and other air pollutants, including NOx, S02, and particulate matter.
Calpine is the largest independent power producer in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas with 11 power plants capable of generating more than 6,700 megawatts of electricity. Calpine describes their facilities as "the cleanest, most fuel-efficient natural gas-fired facilities that provide power under both shortand long-term contracts to wholesale and industrial power customers."
Calpine marks its 20th year in operation this year. Calpine is one of the nation's leading independent power producers and the largest in Texas. Headquartered in San Jose, California, Calpine builds and operates power plants fueled by natural gas and renewable geothermal steam. DPEC will consume "40 percent less fuel per megawatt hour produced than older fossil-fueled plants while also reducing emissions." According to Calpine literature, "gas-fired power plants such as DPEC represent the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. power industry.

Arum palaestinum, commonly known as the Black Calla Lily, is a small shrub native to the Middle East. Growing to a height of 2-5 ft, it produces a unique dark purple-colored spathe with an outside that is greenish white. It is the inside of the spathe that makes it stand out, making it a popular choice for gardeners who prefer uncommon flowers.
However, this plant does have its quirks that come along with its unique beauty. It emits a strong and unmistakable musty smell, and its seed is poisonous. It is recommended that care be taken when cultivating this species due to its toxicity.
This species of flower has been used for its medicinal properties, mainly as an ethnomedical plant, dating back centuries. It thrives the most in the Middle East, however its USDA Zone is 9-11, giving it capability to be cultivated in other countries with mild winter climates.
This species prefers to be grown in a semi-shaded area, with moderate water needs. It generally begins to flower at the end of spring and with continued care can keep blooming until the end of summer. In cold regions, cultivating Arum palaestinulum in a pot is recommended. With the appropriate levels of light, water and soil this species can reach its full growth potential.

Whether it's your first jump or you're a seasoned pro, the skydiving landing pattern is one of the most important parts of your skydive. After all, the ground is literally the hardest part. So it's crucial to know how to execute a correct landing pattern. Following the rules for landing patterns not only allows skydivers to touchdown safely but also helps avoid any collisions with other skydivers in the area.
So, how do you land when skydiving? A skydiving landing pattern is actually just like an airplane landing pattern, only smaller. An aircraft landing pattern is made up of a few different landing pattern legs that allow the pilot to navigate the landing safely and consistently.
Learning how to land is often the most stressful aspect of skydiving for newer solo jumpers. But landing patterns aren't actually that complicated! Take a look at the different steps to landing a parachute and decide for yourself!
There are certain aspects of landing patterns that rarely change, regardless of conditions. Every good landing pattern is flown in the same shape and at the same altitudes. This way, each and every time a skydiver lands, they have a very clear plan for how to get to the ground. It also makes it easier for other jumpers to predict what the air traffic around them will be doing!
The ideal shape for a landing pattern is an open rectangle. This rectangle is made up of three sides, or "legs" – downwind, base, and final. Each of these legs starts at a predetermined altitude.
And what are the landing pattern altitudes for skydiving? For the most part, the three big altitudes to remember are 1,000 feet, 600 feet, and 300 feet. Skydivers enter their landing pattern on the downwind leg at 1,000 feet, turn onto the base leg at 600 feet, and then onto the final approach at 300 feet. These altitudes can sometimes fluctuate a hundred or so feet, but for the most part, this is the template all skydivers adhere to. We'll get deeper into these legs in a moment.
In the meantime, you may be wondering, "how hard is the landing when skydiving?" If done correctly, landing from a jump should be just about as soft as hopping down from a chair. The landing pattern technique sets jumpers up to be able to land a parachute in the best possible conditions for comfortable touchdowns! (Isn't technology and training amazing?!)
The first leg of any landing pattern is called the downwind leg. It's referred to as the downwind leg because the jumper is doing just that – flying downwind! This leg is the entry point into the landing pattern and starts around 1,000 feet. A successful landing pattern begins upwind and is slightly offset from the landing target. It's a lot harder to fly into the wind and fight to get to where you want to land than it is to have the wind at your back pushing you there!
Because the wind is pushing the skydiver from behind, the downwind leg is typically the longest of the three legs. And the windier it is, the longer this leg will be. It's important to consider the wind speed when calculating where to start the downwind leg because the position of every other part of the landing pattern is dependent on this first leg!
At 600 feet, the skydiver will make a 90-degree turn onto what's known as the base leg. The base leg is the only leg that flies perpendicular to the wind. This makes the base leg a little more difficult to navigate.
The wind hitting the jumper in the side causes them to fly slightly off course, a type of flight that's known as crabbing. (Guess where that term came from? Hint: crabs walk sideways.) While flying the base leg, skydivers have to actively correct this sideways push from the wind to make sure they stay on track to land on the target.
At 300 feet, it's go time. Once the skydiver finishes the base leg and is in line with the target, it's time to make one last 90-degree turn into the wind. This leg is where things get serious. Skydivers try to fly their final approach as straight as possible and use this time to prepare their bodies for landing. There's a lot skydivers-in-training and licensed flyers have to think about when flying a landing pattern, especially on the final approach.
There are three main priorities instructors and solo skydivers must keep in mind at all times, especially when on the final approach.
When a parachute is turning, it dives and increases speed. This means that if a parachute is turned at too low an altitude, it will dive straight into the ground. If this is the only priority a skydiver can manage, it's definitely the most important one.
The higher a skydiver can identify an obstacle (trees, water, a building), the easier it will be to avoid. A small degree of correction at 250 feet creates a complete change of course over the ground. Identify and avoid obstacles early!
A parachute flies at a forward speed of about 20 mph. We don't know about you, but we're lucky to hit 20 mph on a bicycle, let alone while running! Flaring the parachute at least halfway allows the skydiver to slow down enough to land safely.
Landing into the wind isn't a priority, but it's certainly preferred! Flying into the wind slows the speed of the parachute down a bit and makes landings softer.


Unit Converter
Conversion formula
The conversion factor from cubic meters to fluid ounces is 33814.022558919, which means that 1 cubic meter is equal to 33814.022558919 fluid ounces:
1 m3 = 33814.022558919 fl oz
To convert 9.2 cubic meters into fluid ounces we have to multiply 9.2 by the conversion factor in order to get the volume amount from cubic meters to fluid ounces. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:
1 m3 → 33814.022558919 fl oz
9.2 m3 → V(fl oz)
Solve the above proportion to obtain the volume V in fluid ounces:
V(fl oz) = 9.2 m3 × 33814.022558919 fl oz
V(fl oz) = 311089.00754206 fl oz
The final result is:
9.2 m3 → 311089.00754206 fl oz
We conclude that 9.2 cubic meters is equivalent to 311089.00754206 fluid ounces:
9.2 cubic meters = 311089.00754206 fluid ounces
Alternative conversion
We can also convert by utilizing the inverse value of the conversion factor. In this case 1 fluid ounce is equal to 3.2145140964674E-6 × 9.2 cubic meters.
Another way is saying that 9.2 cubic meters is equal to 1 ÷ 3.2145140964674E-6 fluid ounces.
Approximate result
For practical purposes we can round our final result to an approximate numerical value. We can say that nine point two cubic meters is approximately three hundred eleven thousand eighty-nine point zero zero eight fluid ounces:
9.2 m3 ≅ 311089.008 fl oz
An alternative is also that one fluid ounce is approximately zero times nine point two cubic meters.

The theory of operation of a submerged skimming weir is based on the modification of the
withdrawal limits by the weir crest. Using the epilimnetic water quality as the desired release quality,
operation of a weir can be simulated, and the resulting quality predicted for a given weir crest elevation,
thermal stratification, and discharge. A numerical model can be used to simulate various stratification
patterns and discharges and to determine the optimum crest elevation for the weir (Figure 4.3.4). The
effects of various meteorological and hydrological events on the reservoir operating with a submerged
weir can then also be simulated.
Figure 4.3.4 Schematic of submerged skimming weir
126.96.36.199 Design Methodology
Design of a submerged skimming weir should begin on ly after clearly defining the existing
release water quality problems. The design methodology is based on installation of submerged
skimming weirs at existing Corps of Engineers' (CE) projects.
To determine this, a numerical model simulation can be used to predict the reservoir quality and
stratification under a variety of meteorological, hydrological, and operational conditions. If the project
is already operational, simple examination of release quality and in-reservoir quality profiles will indicate
if a problem exists. If the problem involves release of hypolimnetic water, such as low DO during
stratified periods, a submerged skimming weir may be a viable alternative to minimize hypolimnetic
The numerical model simulations described above, conducted to determine the viability of a
submerged weir, can also be used to determine the crest elevation of the weir. The crest is usually set
at an elevation equal to or higher than the highest thermocline elevation observed during the summer. If
the thermocline elevation is above the weir crest elevation, withdrawal of hypolimnetic water can occur,
thereby diminishing weir effectiveness.

-on-chips (MPSoCs) as a promising solution for
 the consumer electronics market. MPSoCs are complex to
 design, as they must execute multiple applications
 (games, video) while meeting additional design
 constraints (energy consumption, time-to-market).
 Moreover, the rise of temperature in the die for MPSoCs
 can seriously affect their final performance and
 reliability. In this article, we present a new
 hardware-software emulation framework that allows
 designers a complete exploration of the thermal
 behavior of final MPSoC designs early in the design
 flow. The proposed framework uses FPGA emulation as the
 key element to model hardware components of the
 considered MPSoC platform at multimegahertz speeds. It
 automatically extracts detailed system statistics that
 are used as input to our software thermal library
 running in a host computer. This library calculates at
 runtime the temperature of on-chip components, based on
 the collected statistics from the emulated system and
 final floorplan of the MPSoC. This enables fast testing
 of various thermal management techniques. Our results
 show speedups of three orders of magnitude compared to
 cycle-accurate MPSoC simulators.",

 increasing power consumption and heat dissipation on
 die. An excessive amount of heat creates reliability
 problems, reduces the lifetime of a processor, and
 elevates the cost of cooling and packaging
 considerably. It is therefore imperative to be able to
 monitor the temperature variations across the die in a
 timely and accurate manner. \par
 Most current techniques rely on on-chip thermal sensors
 to report the temperature of the processor.
 Unfortunately, significant variation in chip
 temperature both spatially and temporally exposes the
 limitation of the sensors. We present a compensating
 approach to tracking chip temperature through an OS
 resident software module that generates live power and
 thermal profiles of the processor. We developed such a
 software thermal sensor (STS) in a Linux system with a
 Pentium 4 Northwood core. We employed highly efficient
 numerical methods in our model to minimize the overhead
 of temperature calculation. We also developed an
 efficient algorithm for functional unit power modeling.
 Our power and thermal models are calibrated and
 validated against on-chip sensor readings, thermal
 images of the Northwood heat spreader, and the

This paper used the propensity score method to assess the effect of using certified seed potato (CSP) on yield, input use, and food security among smallholder farmers. It focused on potato growers in central highlands of Kenya. The study found positive effect using certified seed on both yield and food security. But at the same time users of CSP applied significantly higher amounts of pesticides. This study therefore concludes that while using CSP has positive welfare effects, it can increase the use of inputs, some of which have environmentally degrading effects. It discusses the policy implications of the findings.

 Abstract
 This article describes how to go beyond the normal customization associated with the Windows common file open dialog. The common file open dialog is easily one of the most often customized entity in the Windows world, but given the limited customization options included with it, it usually isn't very intuitive as to how go about customizing it the way you want. This article tells you how to make it look and behave the way you want it to. Readers are reminded that though the following ideas and concepts deal with the common file open dialog, the techniques presented here can easily be applied to any other common dialog as well.
 Aim
 Customizing the common file open dialog has the following goals:
 1. Start up in a particular desired directory, specified by the client.
 2. Display only folders in that directory, not files.
 3. Hide the two buttons of the toolbar, so that the user cannot move up one level or create a new folder.
 4. Make the combo box on the top of the dialog that shows the current folder read only, so that the user may not select another directory from here.
 5. Prevent the user from changing directory when user types in different paths in the edit box at the bottom of the dialog. Includes wild card characters.
 Basic Architecture
 Basically the following steps need to be taken, to achieve the above goals:
 1. Create a common file open dialog.
 2. Setup a hook that intercepts all messages that flow to the common file open dialog.
 3. Trap desired messages, for desired child windows-say, the toolbar or the combo box.
 4. Change the behavior by writing customization code.
 In Detail
 Creating the common file open dialog
 Creating the common file open dialog is a simple process. However, it should be sub-classed first. Sub-classing is necessary, because we need access to the dialog's OnInitDialog() handler, which is where we basically set up a hook. Towards this end, we have a class CCustomFileDlg derived publicly from CFileDialog. The OnInitDialog() function is overridden. Also, the destructor for the derived class removes the hook that was set in the OnInitDialog() function. The m_ofn structure is filled with relevant details, and DoModal() is called to create and display the dialog.
 Making Controls Read Only
 In the dialog's OnInitDialog() handler, first, the combo box on the top of the dialog is made read only. This is done by enumerating the child windows, till we reach the combo box and its handle. The EnumChildProc() function does this:
 BOOL CALLBACK EnumChildProc(HWND hWnd, LPARAM lParam)
 {
 int id = ::GetDlgCtrlID(hWnd);
 switch(id)
 {
 case LOOK_IN_COMBO : // Combo box on top of the dialog
 ::EnableWindow(hWnd, FALSE);
 break;
 }

 return TRUE;
 }

 The id for the combo box is identified by LOOK_IN_COMBO, is 1137 and is defined in the header file.
 Setting the Hook
 The hook is set as follows, in the OnInitDialog() handler:
 HookHandle = SetWindowsHookEx( WH_CALLWNDPROC,
 (HOOKPROC) Hooker,
 (HINSTANCE)NULL,
 (DWORD)GetCurrentThreadId() );

 The hook is of type WH_CALLWNDPROC. This means that the hook gets all messages first, before the target window procedure(s) gets it. Therefore, custom processing can be made at this point, since we get a first crack at the message.
 Inside the Hook Procedure
 The hook procedure is passed a pointer to a CWPSTRUCT in its LPARAM. This structure contains the following information, about the message intended for a particular window:
 1. LPARAM
 2. WPARAM
 3. Message
 4. Window Handle
 For our purposes, the window handle and the message are the most important. Much processing will depend on these two parameters.
 The main reason we have this hook is that we cannot subclass the controls on the dialog straight away, since some of the controls, such as the list view control and toolbar do not even exist in the common dialog template, which is present in the VC++ include directory. Also, their id's are not known-they are not available in the template, which makes things much harder to work with. Stranger still, there is a list box control with an id lst1 that seems to be in the template for no rhyme or reason. This is hidden, and the list view control sits on top of it, when the dialog shows up.
 Two of the most important things when working with windows are its handle and id. One major problem with the sub-classing approach is as follows: In order to sub-class a control, the control must be there first! The list view control on start up shows the folders and files. We can now sub-class it, but then, the damage is already done-it shows the folders and files-we need only the files! Ideally, we need something that intercepts the list view control before it initializes, so that we can remove the folders-and then, we can let the list view control continue to display only the files. Using a hook is most convenient for us since it circumvents certain problems of traditional sub-classing. One of the main advantages of using a WH_CALLBACK type hook is that before a control gets the message, we get it first. Therefore, we can trap an intended message for the list view control, and modify it by changing processing. Further, the CWPSTRUCT pointer passed in to the hook via the LPARAM has vital information that we can put to use-the window handle and message.
 The hook is a catchall. In other words, all messages generated go to the hook first. Since we want to select which windows we need to modify, we must first identify the target window handle. This is done by using the GetClassName() API on the window handle obtained via the CWPSTRUCT. GetClassName() returns the class name as a string, of the window we're interested in. For the list view control's handle, GetClassName() returns "syslistview32" and for the toolbar, it returns "toolbarwindow32". And for the last control we want to modify, the edit control, it returns "edit".
 The following code shows how to obtain the class name for a control whose handle is identified in the CWPSTRUCT pointer:
 CWPSTRUCT *x = (CWPSTRUCT*)lParam;
 GetClassName(x -> hwnd, szClassName, MAX_CHAR);

 Using the relevant class names, we do processing accordingly. For example, if it is a "syslistview32" based control, do something, if it is a "toolbarwindow32" based control, do something else, etc. This is achieved by making simple calls to strcmp().
 Customizing the List View Control
 Here is the code:
 if (strcmp(_strlwr(szClassName), "syslistview32") == 0)
 {
 switch(x->message)
 {
 case WM_NCPAINT :
 case LAST_LISTVIEW_MSG : // Magic message sent after all items are inserted
 {
 int count = ListView_GetItemCount(x-> hwnd);
 for(int i= 0; i < count; i++)
 {
 item.mask = LVIF_TEXT | LVIF_PARAM;
 item.iItem = i;
 item.iSubItem = 0;
 item.pszText = szItemName;
 item.cchTextMax = MAX_CHAR;
 ListView_GetItem(x -> hwnd, &item);

 if (GetFileAttributes(szItemName) & FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DIRECTORY)
 ListView_DeleteItem(x -> hwnd, i);
 break;
 }
 }
 } // end switch
 HideToolbarBtns(hWndToolbar);
 } // end if

 A check is performed first using strcmp() to make sure it is the list view control. If it is, we switch to the message part of the CWPSTRUCT pointer (in this case, x). Two messages are trapped, WM_NCPAINT needed so that folder items can be removed before the list view control actually shows up and LAST_LISTVIEW_MSG (defined in my header file) which is the last message the list view control receives after displaying all items. The message has a value of 4146, which I figured out by studying the messages to the list view control.
 Since we now have a handle to the list view control, we can perform ordinary list view control operations-in this case, we simply run down the entire list of items, checking to see if any item has the FILE_


.
The auto-reset circuit can be a little flaky, however. If the board isn't taking a program, you may see an error like "error: espcomm_upload_mem failed".
If this shows up repeatedly, you may need to manually reset into bootloader mode be holding pin 0 low while resetting the ESP8266:
 1. Hold down the "0" button
 2. Press and release the "RST" button
 3. Release the "0" button
The timing of this can be a little tricky. Try resetting it into bootloader mode, then quickly uploading your sketch.
Decreasing the upload speed baud rate to something around 115200 bps can also help improve the reliability of the reset circuit.
Testing the Receiver
ESP8266 IR Remote Arduino Library
IRremoteESP8266 -- an IR Arduino library specific to the ESP8266 -- gets our recommendation for sending and receiving IR signals with this board. You can download the library from their GitHub page, or by searching out IRremoteESP8266 in your Arduino library manager.
IRremoteESP8266 library manager install
Click the image for a closer look.
The IR remote library includes an exhaustive collection of examples which demonstrate how to send and receive IR signals. To test out the receiver, open up the IRrecvDumpV2 example by navigating to the File > Examples > Examples from Custom Libraries > IRremoteESP8266 menu.
Before uploading the sketch, you need to modify the kRecvPin pin definition where global variables are defined.. This sets the ESP8266 pin connected to your IR receiver. Set it to 13.
language:c
uint16_t kRecvPin = 13;
Once that modification has been made, upload away! (Make sure the board is set correctly to "NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module)".) Then open up the serial monitor and set the baud rate to 115200.
You should see a "IRrecvDumpV2 is now running and waiting for IR input on Pin 13" message print out. If you don't try tapping the board's reset button.
Then aim an IR remote at the board and hit a button. You should see a stream of data shoot by.
Example recv dump output from serial monitor
Click the image for a closer look.
The most important bits of this output are the last 4 lines, which should look a lot like C variable declarations. For example:
uint16_t rawData[71] = {8994, 4428, 600, 522, 600, 520, 602, 520, 604, 1608, 606, 516, 606, 516, 606, 516, 606, 516, 606, 1604, 600, 1610, 604, 1606, 598, 524, 598, 1612, 602, 1610, 604, 1606, 598, 1614, 600, 1612, 602, 520, 602, 1608, 606, 514, 608, 514, 596, 524, 598, 524, 598, 524, 598, 524, 598, 1610, 604, 518, 604, 1606, 598, 1612, 600, 1610, 604, 1606, 596, 1616, 598, 35622, 8988, 2214, 598}; // NEC 10EFA05F
uint32_t address = 0x8;
uint32_t command = 0x5;
uint64_t data = 0x10EFA05F;
These lines will be used in the next example, where we test the emitter.
Sending IR Codes
Armed with the timing data for your desired IR command, load up the IRsendDemo example. Around line 42, replace the rawData array with the one you copied from the previous example. You shouldn't have to modify the pin definition for the IR emitter -- just double-check to make sure IR_LED is set to 4, which is the ESP8266 pin connected to the IR emitter.
With that change made, upload the code. Then point the IR emitter at your device. The emitter has a range of about 10 feet, so you may need to get a little close. It should receive a command every 6 seconds.
If your code is Sony- or NEC-encoded, you can also plug the value from data in the previous example to send an NEC or Sony command. This is quite a bit more efficient than sending the raw timing data.
Sending NEC Codes via Web Server
One last example which really begins to show the power of this module is the IRServer example. This sketch will connect your ESP8266 to WiFi and set it up as a web server. When the right HTTP endpoint is hit, it will send a desired command. So you can trigger your device from a web browser!
This example requires that you have an NEC-encoded signal to send.
Before uploading this example, plug your WiFi network's SSID and password into the ssid and password variables.
Then adjust some of the static HTML in the handleRoot() function to send your desired code. This is a little tricky. You need to find your NEC code from the receive example -- in my case it was 0x10EFA05F. You'll also need to convert this value to decimal (here's a calculator for that). In my case it was 284139615. Plug those two values into a new line of C-string'ed HTML. I added this line on line 59, for example:
language:c
 "
Send 0x10EFA05F
" \
Then upload the code! Open the serial monitor to check on your ESP8266's connection status. Once connected it should provide you an IP address.
On a device connected to the same WiFi network, plug that IP address into the address bar. You should be greeted with a page like this:
IR server web page
Then aim your IR Blaster at a device, and click your newly added link. Your signal should be routed from your phone or computer, over the WiFi airwaves, to the device you want to control.
IR Controller Firmware
Exploring the IRRemoteESP8266 library is just the very tip of this WiFi IR Blaster iceberg. We highly recommend checking out the IR Controller ESP8266 firmware. This fully featured firmware combines IR send and receive functions with a web server. It monitors for received commands, and provides a handy interface to emit those back out with the ESP8266. There are even instructions for connecting the Blaster to an Alexa service.
IR controller web page example
Click the image for a closer look.
If you give this firmware a spin, just remember you'll need to specify the IR emitter and receiver pins. This is what I've set the pins variables to:
language:c
const int pinr1 = 13; // Receiving pin
const int pins1 = 4; // Transmitting preset 1
const int pins2 = 12; // Transmitting preset 2 (not used)
const int pins3 = 12; // Transmitting preset 3 (not used)
const int pins4 = 12; // Transmitting preset 4 (not used)
const int configpin = 5; // Reset Pin
// User settings are above here
const int ledpin = 0; // Built in LED defined for WEMOS people
You'll also need to install a handful of libraries, which are all described in the Setup section of the README.
With those few modifications, you should be up-and-IR-controlling in no time!

In response to the ethical code for higher education proposed by Education Minister Naftali Bennett, the Israel Democracy Institute (IDI) stated today that this step is a "negative example" of how to write an ethical code. According to IDI, the code was written by an individual rather than through discourse with professors at Israel's various institutions of higher learning. It also undermines the autonomy of these institutions in violation of the Law of the Council for Higher Education.
"The ethical code that is being proposed unreasonably expands the definition of what is political. The definition does not differentiate between political and the public, between political and ethical, and between systematic preaching and free discourse. Political activity, according to the proposed ethical code, includes all direct support or opposition to 'a particular point of view in a recognized public dispute'. Thus, the proposed code refers to many questions of economics, ethics, law, and political morality as political and calls for their removal from academic discourse.
Finally, IDI's statement adds that the code undermines the gist of the academic mission and spirit, which lies in the academic drive to raise innovative ideas and challenge conventional wisdom.
"Such an ethical code tramples freedom of expression with a heavy foot. It would cause professors to self-censor and create an opening for pursuing and harassing professors," IDI's leaders say.

How to Eliminate Foul Odor in Hunting Boots
Out there in the wilderness, you need to use the hunting boots in any weather condition. Humid conditions or wet conditions can lead to unhygienic hunting boots. Consequently, there might be a foul odor in your hunting boots. It is essential to maintain the boots in a hygienic condition.
Only once you do so will you be comfortable.
Today we will share the answer to the question of how to eliminate foul odor in hunting boots.
How to eliminate foul odor in hunting boots?
We will share with you a step-by-step way to eliminate such odor from your hunting boots.
 1. The first thing is to wrap a bit of bicarbonate soda in a thin cloth. You have to keep it in your hunting boots. You should keep it in the hunting boots for at least 12 hours.
 2. After doing so, you can place blotting paper inside the shoes. You have to add some cloves to it. It can mask any odor with its own fragrance.
 3. After a few hours, you have to remove the same and keep the shoes in an airtight plastic bag. You have to keep the plastic bag in the freezer for 3 to 4 hours. It will kill the odor-causing bacteria right away.
 4. Once you have done so, you have to dry the shoes in your balcony or in your lawn.
These four simple steps will certainly help you eliminate the foul odor in hunting boots.
Alternative method:
In case your hunting boots can handle water, you can use this alternative method as well. The alternative method will certainly help you clean the boots inside out. Once you do so, you will not have to worry about odor.
 1. You have to first and foremost, rinse your boots from outside. For the inside, you have to use a damp cloth to wipe them clean.
 2. Thereafter, you have to create a mixture of water in commercials and Tiller. You have to spread all over the boots.
 3. Once you do so, you have to let the boots dry for a few hours.
 4. After that, you have to remove the insole and wash them with detergent. You have to make sure that the detergent is scent-free. After that, you have to let the insole dry as well.
 5. If you do not want to spend hours drying the boots, you can buy an extra pair of boots. Once you do so, you will be able to dry the boot in no time.
These are the two methods that you can use to eliminate foul odor from hunting boots.
To prevent foul odor, there are a few precautions that you can take as well.
Precautions to eliminate foul odor in hunting boots:
The precautions that you need to undertake are:
 1. Choosing the right socks:
You always have to choose fresh socks. You have to ensure that there is no odor in the socks. If you wear smelly socks and wear the hunting boots, the boots will develop foul odor.
 1. Allow the boots to dry:
Whenever you wear the boots, socks, or feet get wet; you have to dry them. Only once they are dried, there will be no water and wetness inside the boots.
 1. Inspect your boots from time to time:
Many boots are susceptible to mildew, algae, and so on. You have to inspect the boots from time to time. The purpose of the inspection is to ensure that there is no growth in the boots. If there is any growth, you have to use disinfectants to eliminate it. Doing so will ensure that odor will no longer be a problem.
 1. Regular odor elimination:
At the slightest hint of order, you have to use any of the above two methods to eliminate water. If you do not do so, the odor will become stronger over time. Due to this reason, every time you use your hunting boots, you have to check them for odor.
Once you take these precautions, you will ensure that your hunting boots do not develop any foul odor.
In case they still do, you can use any of the methods we have highlighted above to eliminate odor. Both of these methods are incredibly effective. In a nutshell, after going through this article, you need not worry about water in hunting boots at all. You can always have hygienic hunting boots for your next hunting trip.

Origins Available: French, Scottish
Where did the French Lorey family come from? What is the French Lorey family crest and coat of arms? When did the Lorey family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Lorey family history?The origins the old family name Lorey can be found within medieval France. While the patronymic and metronymic surnames, which are derived from the name of the father and mother respectively, are the most common form of a hereditary surname in France, occupational surnames also emerged during the late Middle Ages. Many people, such as the Lorey family, adopted the name of their occupation as their surname. However, an occupational name did not become a hereditary surname until the office or type of employment became hereditary. The surname Lorey was an occupational name for a person who worked at a granary. The name translates literally from the Old French as of the granary.
Spelling variations of this family name include: Delor, De Lor, Delore, Delaur, De Laur, Delaure, Deloret, De Loret, Delauret, De Lauret, Delorey, De Lorey, Delaurey, De Laurey, Loré, Lorée, L'Orée, Laur, Laure, Lauré, Laurée, Loret, Lauret, Lorey, Laurey, Loreillard, Laureillard, Loreilleux, Laureilleux, Loriet, Lauriet, Loriey, Lauriey, Deloriet, Delauriet, Deloriey, Delauriey, Deslor, Délor, Deslaur, Délaur, Desloret, Déloret, Deslauret, Délauret, Deslorey, Délorey, Deslaurey, Délaurey, Desloriet, Déloriet, Deslauriet, Délauriet, Desloriey, Déloriey, Deslauriey and many more.
First found in Picardy, where the family took their name from Delor, a village in the department of Aisne, in the district of Neufchâtel.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Lorey research. Another 143 words(10 lines of text) covering the years 1665 and 1785 are included under the topic Early Lorey History in all our PDF Extended History products.

Some of the first settlers of this family name were:
Lorey Settlers in the United States in the 18th Century
Lorey Settlers in the United States in the 19th Century
The Lorey Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Lorey Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

delta.
 * if X occurs after the next point of maximum pressure in the model
 schedule and P' > P, then:
 baseECC (CL, X) = model_spill_cost (CL, MP, MP' + (P' - P))
 That is, if we move X forward across a point of maximum pressure,
 and if X increases the pressure by P' - P, then we conservatively
 assume that scheduling X next would increase the maximum pressure
 by P' - P. Again, the cost of doing this is based on the original
 maximum pressure MP, for the same reason as above.
 * if P' < P, P > MP, and X occurs at or after the next point of
 maximum pressure, then:
 baseECC (CL, X) = -model_spill_cost (CL, MAX (MP, P'), P)
 That is, if we have already exceeded the original maximum pressure MP,
 and if X might reduce the maximum pressure again -- or at least push
 it further back, and thus allow more scheduling freedom -- it is given
 a negative cost to reflect the improvement.
 * otherwise,
 baseECC (CL, X) = 0
 In this case, X is not expected to affect the maximum pressure MP',
 so it has zero cost.
 We then create a combined value baseECC (X) that is the sum of
 baseECC (CL, X) for each pressure class CL.
 baseECC (X) could itself be used as the ECC value described above.
 However, this is often too conservative, in the sense that it
 tends to make high-priority instructions that increase pressure
 wait too long in cases where introducing a spill would be better.
 For this reason the final ECC is a priority-adjusted form of
 baseECC (X). Specifically, we calculate:
 P (X) = INSN_PRIORITY (X) - insn_delay (X) - baseECC (X)
 baseP = MAX { P (X) | baseECC (X) <= 0 }
 Then:
 ECC (X) = MAX (MIN (baseP - P (X), baseECC (X)), 0)
 Thus an instruction's effect on pressure is ignored if it has a high
 enough priority relative to the ones that don't increase pressure.
 Negative values of baseECC (X) do not increase the priority of X
 itself, but they do make it harder for other instructions to
 increase the pressure further.
 This pressure cost is deliberately timid. The intention has been
 to choose a heuristic that rarely interferes with the normal list
 scheduler in cases where that scheduler would produce good code.
 We simply want to curb some of its worst excesses. */
/* Return the cost of increasing the pressure in class CL from FROM to TO.
 Here we use the very simplistic cost model that every register above
 sched_class_regs_num[CL] has a spill cost of 1. We could use other
 measures instead, such as one based on MEMORY_MOVE_COST. However:
 (1) In order for an instruction to be scheduled, the higher cost
 would need to be justified in a single saving of that many stalls.
 This is overly pessimistic, because the benefit of spilling is
 often to avoid a sequence of several short stalls rather than
 a single long one.
 (2) The cost is still arbitrary. Because we are not allocating
 registers during scheduling, we have no way of knowing for
 sure how many memory accesses will be required by each spill,
 where the spills will be placed within the block, or even
 which block(s) will contain the spills.
 So a higher cost than 1 is often too conservative in practice,
 forcing blocks to contain unnecessary stalls instead of spill code.
 The simple cost below seems to be the best compromise. It reduces
 the interference with the normal list scheduler, which helps make
 it more suitable for a default-on option. */

Doula, Community Liaison, Bureau of Brooklyn Neighborhood Health
Community Organizing, Constituent Services ＆ Community Programs, Health, Healthcare and public health with NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH)
$38,333 - $60,000 per year
Last updated 4 days ago
The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) is a world-renowned agency with a long tradition of protecting and promoting health in the nation's most culturally and linguistically diverse city. Our 7,000-plus team members bring an extraordinary array of languages, cultures, and experiences to bear on the work of public health. The Center for Health Equity and Community Wellness (CHECW) seeks to eliminate racial and other inequities resulting in premature mortality. With an unwavering grounding in history and structural analysis, CHECW works to increase visibility of the harm perpetuated by centuries of racist, socially unjust policy while pushing towards redress for the most affected NYC communities. CHECW addresses inequity across community and health-care systems in partnership with community, faith-based, and health-care organizations. CHECW's work focuses on the social determinants of health, including environmental and commercial determinants, and addresses both upstream and downstream factors to improve the health and well-being of New Yorkers. CHECW employs anti-racism approaches to reduce and minimize unfair exposure to risk and to advance health justice and social change.
One important area of focus is perinatal health, especially eliminating the inequities in maternal and child health outcomes that currently exist in New York City. CHECW's birth equity work is centered in three Bureaus of Neighborhood Health (one each in the Bronx, Harlem, and Brooklyn), which partner with community stakeholders to address health inequities and the drivers of premature mortality. Poor maternal and infant outcomes result from longstanding structural inequality, among other factors. Therefore, the Bureaus of Neighborhood Health (BNH) provide tangible resources, practical support, community capacity-building, and workforce development; partner with health systems to improve the provision of care; and inform policy through broad-based coalitions.
Each BNH hosts a Family Wellness Suite, which supports the portfolio of perinatal health programs within that bureau. Physically, the Family Wellness Suites (FWS) are safe, welcoming, and supportive spaces where families and individuals can connect to community resources and city services, such as workshops to lower the risk of chronic diseases and promote health and well-being, fitness activities, classes to support fathers, referrals to social-service and medical providers, referrals to doulas (childbirth-support professionals), and other programs to support a healthy pregnancy, childbirth, and newborn. The FWS's support the work of the Citywide Doula Initiative, Healthy Start Brooklyn, the Breastfeeding/Lactation Equity Initiative, and other grant-funded perinatal health programs and initiatives.
The Citywide Doula Initiative (CDI) advances the Health Department's birth equity work by providing doula services in neighborhoods that face elevated social and health burdens. The work of the CDI falls into three broad categories: providing no-cost, professional doula support to eligible residents; building and strengthening the city's doula workforce; and partnering with hospitals to create a doula-friendly environment and refer patients to doula services. The Doula-Community Liaisons will divide among them the 33 neighborhoods served by the CDI, conducting direct outreach and forming partnerships with health and social-service providers who serve those neighborhoods.
Each Doula-Community Liaison will be based in one of CHECW's Bureaus of Neighborhood Health and will report to the Family Wellness Suite Coordinator at that site.
- Serves as a liaison between public and private-sector clinical and social service providers within an assigned catchment area, ensuring rapport is established between all service providers to best care for program participants;
- Conduct outreach activities for the FWS, CDI, and Breastfeeding/Lactation Equity Initiative through tabling at events, street outreach, and presentations to community members within the catchment area, paying special attention to community led coalitions, and tenant associations ; ensuring residents have access to relevant subject matter flyers, brochures, incentives, and other outreach materials are always on hand;
- Facilitate referrals and coordination of care for perinatal health programs; develop resources for health and social service needs that are identified by the CDI doulas, BNH health promoters, and other community engagement and partnership staff;
- Elicits support and participation from community through direct recruitment of clients and recruitment of community members to be trained as doulas, Community Breastfeeding Educators, and Certified Lactation Consultants;
- Represent the Health Department at community board meetings, town halls, and public meetings to promote programming and community engagement;
- Facilitate monthly outreach meetings for BNH perinatal health programs and initiatives.
- Responsible for tracking client participation in workshops and trainings being offered, maintaining an accurate data base of residents that attend;
- Collaborate on the Coordinated Intake and Referral system as part of the Citywide Doula Initiative;
- Other duties as assigned.

Tustin Water Quality
Tustin Water Quality Report
Tustin Water Quality Report
Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
Columbus Tustin, a Northern California carriage maker, and his partner Nelson Stafford purchased 1,300 acres of what had been the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana for the price of one dollar and fifty cents per acre. Mr. Tustin attempted to create Tustin City, but sales of homesites were slow, and in the early 1870s he ended up giving free lots to anyone who would build a home.
In 1877, Tustin lost out to Santa Ana as the Southern terminus of the Southern Pacific Railroad, and Columbus Tustin died in 1883, a bitterly disappointed man. Nonetheless, with the abundance of water, the community named after him gradually became established as an agricultural center.
In the 1950s, Tustin's growth began in earnest. Freeways, quality schools, and post-war industries attracted thousands of people. The orchards were developed by builders and by 1970 the population had jumped to 32,000.
Growth was a painful process as houses replaced orange groves. Old-timers and newcomers alike had to adapt to each other, cope with new problems and situations, and expand facilities to handle increased patronage. And so tract after tract replaced grove after grove.
With all the development, the next step was annexation to the City. Annexation became the major issue during the period from 1955 to 1965. One of the early annexations to the city was the Tustin Union High School campus. Although the school was built in 1921, it remained outside the city limits until annexation in 1957.
During the 1950s the City increased 220% in size with annexations. The big leap came in the 1960s when the population increased a whopping 1,012%, going from 2,006 to 22,313 population and the land area increased from 434.23 acres to 2,21477, or a 410% increase. Several large annexations greatly increased the city's area between 1971 and 1981.
The Marine Corps Air Station was annexed to Tustin, adding 2,076 acres to the city. A few years later a total of 2,257 acres that had been in the Irvine Ranch agricultural preserve were annexed and have been developed as Tustin Ranch.


This interview is with Jeanne Feldkamp and Dan Diephouse of Corollary Wines. In this interview, the couple talks about their journey before getting into the wine industry, and how they ended up in Oregon. They speak about the logistics of starting their label and the meaning behind the name, how they've adjusted to COVID-19, and how what they find so exciting about sparkling wine here. They then touch on what sustainability means to them when looking for grapes, and how they would describe their winemaking philosophy. Towards the end of the interview, they answer what the purpose of wine is in society, what they hope consumers will take away from their wines, and what they have seen in the future for themselves and Oregon.
This interview was conducted by Rich Schmidt at their home in Dundee on June 5, 2020.


Queue in SystemVerilog
 - Queue in System Verilog is a variable-size, ordered collection of homogeneous objects.
 - Queue is similar to one-dimensional unpacked array that grows and shrinks automatically.
 - Queues can be manipulated using the indexing, concatenation, slicing operator and equality operators.
 - In queue 0 represents the first, and $ representing the last entries.
Queue Operators
0 : Used to represents the first element of queue
$ : Used to represents the last element of queue
{} : Used along with first and last operator to add/delete elements.
Queue Declaration
bit[3:0] data[$];
where:
bit[3:0] -> data_type
data -> name of the queue
$ -> Represents the last element of queue
Queues methods
MethodDescription
delete()It deletes the item at the specified index position.
insert()It inserts the given item at the specified index position.
size()It returns the number of items in the queue. If the queue is empty, it returns as 0.
push_front()It inserts the given element at the front of the queue.
push_back()It inserts the given element at the end of the queue.
pop_front()It removes and returns the first element of the queue.
pop_back()It removes and returns the last element of the queue.
Queue can be bounded or unbounded
bounded queue – queue with the number of entries limited or queue size specified
unbounded queue – queue with unlimited entries or queue size not specified
Advantage of Queue
 - Queue can have variable length, including a length of zero.
 - Queue will perform both Last In First Out (LIFO) and First In First Out (FIFO) behavior.
 - Queue will have support to adding and removing elements anywhere.

Saving Data in Extensions of the SharePoint Project System

When you extend the SharePoint project system, you can save string data that persists after a SharePoint project is closed. The data is typically associated with a particular project item or with the project itself.
If you have data that does not need to persist, you can add the data to any object in the SharePoint tools object model that implements the IAnnotatedObject interface. For more information, see Associating Custom Data with SharePoint Tools Extensions.
When you have data that is associated with a particular SharePoint project item, such as the value of a property that you add to a project item, you can save the data to the .spdata file for the project item. To do this, use the ExtensionData property of an ISharePointProjectItem object. Data that you add to this property is saved in the ExtensionData element in the .spdata file for the project item. For more information, see ExtensionData Element.
The following code example demonstrates how to use the ExtensionData property to save the value of a string property that is defined in a custom SharePoint project item type. To see this example in the context of a larger example, see How to: Add a Property to a Custom SharePoint Project Item Type.
 private const string PropertyId = "Contoso.ExampleProperty";
 private const string PropertyDefaultValue = "This is an example property.";
 [DisplayName("Example Property")]
 [DescriptionAttribute("This is an example property for project items.")]
 [DefaultValue(PropertyDefaultValue)]
 public string ExampleProperty
 {
 get
 {
 string propertyValue;
 // Get the current property value if it already exists; otherwise, return a default value.
 if (!projectItem.ExtensionData.TryGetValue(PropertyId, out propertyValue))
 {
 propertyValue = PropertyDefaultValue;
 }
 return propertyValue;
 }
 set
 {
 if (value != PropertyDefaultValue)
 {
 // Store the property value in the ExtensionData property of the project item.
 // Data in the ExtensionData property persists when the project is closed.
 projectItem.ExtensionData[PropertyId] = value;
 }
 else
 {
 // Do not save the default value.
 projectItem.ExtensionData.Remove(PropertyId);
 }
 }
 }
When you have project-level data, such as the value of a property that you add to SharePoint projects, you can save the data to the project file (the .csproj file or .vbproj file) or the project user option file (the .csproj.user file or .vbproj.user file). The file you choose to save the data in depends on how you want the data to be used:
 - If you want the data to be available to all developers who open the SharePoint project, save the data to the project file. This file is always checked in to source control databases, so the data in this file is available to other developers who check out the project.
 - If you want the data to be available only to the current developer who has the SharePoint project open in Visual Studio, save the data to the project user option file. This file is not typically checked in to source control databases, so the data in this file is not available to other developers who check out the project.
Saving Data to the Project File
To save data to the project file, convert an ISharePointProject object to an IVsBuildPropertyStorage object, and then use the IVsBuildPropertyStorage.SetPropertyValue method. The following code example demonstrates how to use this method to save the value of a project property to the project file. To see this example in the context of a larger sample, see How to: Add a Property to SharePoint Projects.
 private ISharePointProject sharePointProject;
 private IVsBuildPropertyStorage projectStorage;
 private const string ProjectFilePropertyId = "ContosoCustomProjectFileProperty";
 private const string ProjectFilePropertyDefaultValue = "Default";
 public CustomProjectProperties(ISharePointProject myProject)
 {
 sharePointProject = myProject;
 projectStorage = sharePointProject.ProjectService.Convert<ISharePointProject, IVsBuildPropertyStorage>(sharePointProject);
 }
 [DisplayName("Custom Project File Property")]
 [DescriptionAttribute("This property is saved to the .csproj/.vbproj file.")]
 [DefaultValue(ProjectFilePropertyDefaultValue)]
 public string CustomProjectFileProperty
 {
 get
 {
 string propertyValue;
 int hr = projectStorage.GetPropertyValue(ProjectFilePropertyId, string.Empty,
 (uint)_PersistStorageType.PST_PROJECT_FILE, out propertyValue);
 // Try to get the current value from the project file; if it does not yet exist, return a default value.
 if (!ErrorHandler.Succeeded(hr) || String.IsNullOrEmpty(propertyValue))
 {
 propertyValue = ProjectFilePropertyDefaultValue;
 }
 return propertyValue;
 }
 set
 {
 // Do not save the default value.
 if (value != ProjectFilePropertyDefaultValue)
 {
 projectStorage.SetPropertyValue(ProjectFilePropertyId, string.Empty,
 (uint)_PersistStorageType.PST_PROJECT_FILE, value);
 }
 }
 }
For more information about converting ISharePointProject objects to other types in the Visual Studio automation object model or integration object model, see Converting Between SharePoint Project System Types and Other Visual Studio Project Types.
Saving Data to the Project User Option File
To save data to the project user option file, use the ProjectUserFileData property of an ISharePointProject object. The following code example demonstrates how to use this property to save the value of a project property to the project user option file. To see this example in the context of a larger sample, see How to: Add a Property to SharePoint Projects.
 private const string UserFilePropertyId = "ContosoCustomUserFileProperty";
 private const string UserFilePropertyDefaultValue = "Default";
 [DisplayName("Custom Project User File Property")]
 [DescriptionAttribute("This property is saved to the .user file.")]
 [DefaultValue(UserFilePropertyDefaultValue)]
 public string CustomUserFileProperty
 {
 get
 {
 string propertyValue = string.Empty;

 // Try to get the current value from the .user file; if it does not yet exist, return a default value.
 if (!sharePointProject.ProjectUserFileData.TryGetValue(UserFilePropertyId, out propertyValue))
 {
 propertyValue = UserFilePropertyDefaultValue;
 }
 return propertyValue;
 }

 set
 {
 // Do not save the default value.
 if (value != UserFilePropertyDefaultValue)
 {
 sharePointProject.ProjectUserFileData[UserFilePropertyId] = value;
 }
 }

When Rhythm Flows
The literal translation of MUSICANVAS is "the canvas of music".
In this era where everyone purses individuality, there is a unique story behind each MUSICANVAS product. It is more than an interesting decorative item, a portable radio, or a Bluetooth speaker. As a music work of art with its own story, its changeable appearances and itself interprets the play attitude of young people. The antique-radio appearance and the modern artisan art jointly present the tactile quality of the old objects, and make a different visual impact for people.

Today we published a translated English version of the first paper ActiveHistory.ca "Why is Vietnam Recovering, while Cuba is Sinking?" written by Yves Montenay, and translated by Michael Poplyansky. Here is the abstract:
Before going their separate ways, Vietnam and Cuba followed similar political and economic paths, making the impact of economic freedom on each country's development very clear, both directly and comparatively. This paper will not discuss full employment, because in Communist Vietnam, as in today's Cuba, everyone theoretically had an assigned job—even if it was not the job that one hoped for, or at the location that one preferred, much less at the salary that one wanted. Nor will I evaluate the progress of "liberalism", since the term implies political freedom; I will simply examine the consequences of legalizing formerly banned economic activities.
