How to Install FTP Server in LinuxIn Feburary 2016 29,
In Feburary 2016 29,
Download and install the Linux package vsftp. The exact procedure will vary depending on the type and version of Linux you are running. In most cases, for example with Red Hat, Suse or Ubuntu, vsftp is a stable package that is included in the repositories that are used to update your version of Linux. In many Linux installations, vsftp is installed by default, but not started.
Configure VSFTP. The exact location and name of the configuration file will vary slightly depending on the version of Linux you are using. In Ubuntu, the configuration file is 'vsftpd.conf.' Edit this file to change the following settings:
ftpd_banner: Edits the message that is displayed when someone connects to the server.
listen: Enables vsfppd to run in stand alone mode.
xferlog_enable: Enables a detailed log of uploads and downloads.
connect_from_port_20: Defines whether PORT style connections use port 20 on the server.
hide_ids: Hides user IDs, listing all group users as 'ftp.'
max_client: Defines the maximum number of connections allowed in standalone mode.
max_per_ip: Defines the highest number of connections allowed from a particular IP in standalone mode.
anon_root: Defines the root directory for anonymous FTP users.
anonymous_enable: Enables anonymous users.
anon_mkdir_write_enable: Allows anonymous users to create directories. For this option to work, the server must have anonymous uploads enabled, and the ftp user and group must have write permissions on the directory where the new directories will be created.
Once the file vsftpd.conf has been edited to your satisfaction, save the file.
Stop the vsftpd server by typing 'sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd stop.' You should see a message confirming that the server has stopped.
Restart the vsftp server with the new configuration data in /etc/vsftpd.conf by typing 'sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd start.' You should see a message confirming that the server has started.

How to Create an Array in PHPIn Feburary 2016 29,
In Feburary 2016 29,
Imagine that you have to write a movie catalog. One of the variables that you will use in your program is the movie title. But if you have thousands of movies, using a separate variable to store each title is not ideal. Instead, you should use one variable (the title) which has many values ('One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest,' 'The Graduate' and so on). Such data is an ideal candidate for an array.
Check to see if you already have a list of values, so that you can create the array with the array function instead of populating it manually.
Create the Array
Declare the array and assign values:
$titles = array('Hair', 'The Office', 'Troy', 'Tarzan', 'American Pie', 'Adam and Eve', 'Mystery', 'E.T.', 'Star Wars');
Enter as many movie titles as you have. If your values are strings, as in the above example, don't forget the quotes around them. If your values are integers, you can forgo the quotes.
Appreciate that this array is created with numeric indexing. In the above example, the array has nine elements (movie titles) and the indexes are from 0 ('Hair') to 8 ('Star Wars'). However, you can also create associative arrays.
Create an associative array. An associative array uses textual keys instead of numbers, and the indexes are more descriptive. This is especially useful when the values are not strings. The general syntax is the following:
$salary['John Smith'] = 3000;
This will assign the value 3000 to the array element, which has the 'John Smith' index.
Use the array function to create the array.
$salary = array('John Smith' => 3000, 'Sally Jones' => 4000, 'Chris Steward' => 4900, 'Mary Roberts' => 6500, 'Sam Moses' => 5400, 'Alice Roberts' => 4200);
Notice the slight difference in the syntax: You use the => symbol to enter the value for the key.
Perform Simple Operations With the Array
Reference values from the array by their index. For instance, if you want to display the title 'Adam and Eve,' you would do the following:
echo $titles[5];
because 'Adam and Eve' is the sixth element in the array and its index is 5.
Assign values to array elements. If you want to set a new value for an array element, use the following:
$titles[6] = 'Midnight Express';
This will replace the 'Mystery' value with 'Midnight Express'.

How to Troubleshoot Wireless Speaker IssuesIn Feburary 2016 29,
In Feburary 2016 29,
Follow the power cord to an outlet if the speakers aren't producing any sound, and confirm that they're plugged in. If they are, check that the cord is securely fitted into its socket in the speaker. Switch the plug to a different outlet to see if that solves the problem.
Look at the other parts of the system, such as the transmitter, to confirm they're also connected to a power source. If the power is on, switch out cables between the transmitter and the receiver, or connect the transmitter to a different sound source. If you're controlling the setting with a remote, replace the batteries with fresh ones to see if that makes a difference.
Adjust the settings on your sound system. The receiver may be set on mute or the sound may be turned down too low to hear. If only one speaker is silent, check that your balance control is set to provide sound to both speakers equally.
Change the position of your speakers. If your speakers operate in the 5.8-GHz band or use infrared technology to receive signals, they have to stay closer to the transmitter than a 2.4-GHz speaker. Infrared speakers also require line-of-sight positions to operate properly.
Bad Signal
Adjust the frequency controls on your system to a new setting, then tune the speakers to find a setting that provides a clear, strong signal.
Walk through your house and identify other radio sources in the 2.4-GHz range, if your wireless speakers work at that frequency. This is a standard range for devices such as cordless phones, cell phones and baby monitors, all of which can interfere with your signal, as can your microwave oven. See if turning the devices off while you're listening eliminates the interference.
Move the speakers closer to the transmitter. With less distance to travel, the signal degrades less. Less distance also reduces the chance of a barrier, such as a heavy metal appliance or a concrete wall, interfering with or distorting the signal.
Unsuccessful Pairing
Reconnect your Bluetooth device to the speaker adapter if you've recently deactivated Bluetooth on the device, because after Bluetooth is enabled, it won't reconnect with the speaker automatically. Go over the settings on your device and confirm they're set up to stream over Bluetooth. If your computer's Bluetooth is turned off, for example, nothing's going to happen.
Move your speakers closer to your device. Bluetooth's range is roughly 30 feet. If you have solid obstructions between the device and the speakers, remove them or reposition the system so that there are no obstacles in the signal's path.
Use the manufacturers' instructions to clear out the list of Bluetooth pairings on your device and speakers, then start over with the pairing process, repeating the steps you originally took to set up the wireless connection.

For What Is 'Microsoft SQL Server' Used?In Feburary 2016 29,
In Feburary 2016 29,
SQL Server uses the client-server model of data management. With client-server, a program called the client requests data from a server program, usually on another computer. The server evaluates the request and passes data back to the client. This improves security since the client must provide the correct password information for the server to release the data. It also helps speed data access since the server computer does all the hard work of data management; the client receives the results. An organization using SQL Server usually has several dedicated computers for it.
Relational Database
You can organize data in many different ways. You can type it in a simple file, organize it in a spreadsheet or divide .it into distinct parts. If you run a big website and have millions of records to manage, efficiency is important. Microsoft SQL Server uses a data organization method called a relational database. A database designer looks at the organization's information and creates structures called tables to store it. By linking the tables in different combinations, she can, for example, see how many customers she has by state, what they purchased and how often they visit the website.
SQL Language
SQL Server uses the SQL language. Using SQL, a programmer can create tables, add, remove or update data, and sort and retrieve it rapidly. Different software companies, such as Oracle and MySQL, also use the SQL language, allowing programmers to use the same skills for managing data stored on different systems.
Tools
The core of SQL Server is the program that processes data requests from client programs. In addition, it has programs to build databases, import and export data and monitor the database's performance. While a programmer can do many of these tasks from the SQL language, the extra software tools make the job easier to learn and perform.
Security and Integrity
If you're responsible for a company's data, you need to manage who can and cannot access it. With SQL Server, you can assign many different levels of security, letting some users see or modify data and locking other users out. It also lets a programmer build rules into the database to ensure the data has integrity. For example, the customer's address can have a rule that the state must come from a list of state abbreviations. If a user tries entering a state of 'ZX,' SQL Server will reject it.

Project Topics in Web DevelopmentIn Feburary 2016 29,
In Feburary 2016 29,
Web projects can store data in many different ways. Effective website projects can therefore involve developing data driven websites and Web applications. Web databases include MySQL and Oracle, both of which developers can create and query using SQL. To build a Web project with a Web database, learners can use server side programming in PHP or ASP, or optionally Java. Many websites now store data in XML format, so Web projects in which learners model and implement XML data structures may also be useful.
Commerce
Anyone working as a Web developer will often work on commercial websites. These vary from simple technologies using automated payment methods such as PayPal, to complex bespoke systems designed using database systems. Any Web project involving secure processing of payments is a good way to familiarize learners with the basic principles in e-commerce development projects. Such projects can optionally include websites with user accounts and registration.
Interactivity
At client side, Web development can involve intense amounts of JavaScript processing to achieve a deep level of interactivity for users. Any Web development project with significant requirements in terms of interactivity may therefore be valuable. As well as implementing website functions manually, developers can learn to use external JavaScript functionality made available through resources such as the jQuery library and associated tools. Working with a third-party interface like this is another common activity for professional developers.
Multimedia
Websites use many different media types. Creating items of the various media formats available is one possible element in a development project. The other aspect of this is learning how best to deploy multimedia items within websites in ways that will make the media content as widely accessible as possible, to users browsing in unpredictable contexts. Tools and technologies involved in multimedia Web development include Adobe Creative Suite and HTML5.
Content Management
Rather than creating a bespoke database and user management system for every client, many Web developers use CMS (Content Management Systems) solutions. Popular CMS options include Joomla, WordPress and Drupal, so using any one of these within a development project should equip learners with the general principles and practices. When a CMS is deployed on a website, it facilitates creation, editing and maintenance of website content. Developers using CMS solutions often need to tailor these to suit the client, including making alterations to both the HTML markup and CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) declarations.

How to Calculate Ean13 BarcodesIn Feburary 2016 29,
In Feburary 2016 29,
Locate the 12th digit in the barcode. If the check digit is not yet in place, this is the last digit from the left. If the check digit is in place, this is the second to last digit from the left.
For example, if your EAN-13 was 97 35940 56482 4, the 12th digit is the No. 2.
Starting with this 12th digit, move from right to left across the code adding every second digit to it. Using our example code of 97 35940 56482 4, this means starting with the No. 2 and adding to it the numbers 4, 5, 4, 5 and 7, giving a total of 27.
Multiply the sum obtained in Step 2 by 3. Using our example above, this means the multiplying of 27 by 3, giving a total of 81.
Locate the 11th digit in the code. Using our example code of 97 35940 56482 4, this would be the No. 8.
Starting with the 11th digit, move from right to left across the code adding every second digit to it. Using our example of 97 35940 56482 4, this means starting with the No. 8 and adding to it 6, 0, 9, 3 and 9, giving a total of 35.
Add the results from Step 3 and Step 5. In our example this means adding 81 and 35, giving a total of 116.
Round the result of Step 6 up to the nearest multiple of 10. In our example, this means rounding 116 up to 120.
Subtract the result of Step 7 from the result of Step 6. In our example, this is 120-116, giving us a difference of 4. This 4 should be the 13th number in the EAN-13, otherwise known as the check digit.

Party Bus IdeasIn Feburary 2016 29,
In Feburary 2016 29,
A party can be extra special if it has a theme---especially one that the party guests can really get into. An '80s theme is great for young adult parties. The outfits are easy to put together and fun to wear. You can even decorate the inside of the bus in 1980s memorabilia---such as movie posters from that decade. A 1980s theme can make the party bus experience more fun without costing a lot more money. Some party bus companies, including Boston's Bustonian, even have special themed 1980s buses.
Magician
Children will love riding on the party bus, but they may need some additional entertainment during the ride. Consider hiring a magician to perform while the bus is traveling. Some magicians even have special tricks designed for party buses. Magician fees vary widely based on experience and reputation. Some party bus companies have partnerships with certain magicians allowing you to get a discuss rate if you book both.
Special Cocktail
Adult party buses are often associated with alcohol, play up the association by offering a specially mixed cocktail just for the occasion. If your party has a theme, choose a cocktail to match. For example, if you are hosting a Hawaiian-themed party, consider serving a pina colada as the signature drink. Most party bus companies will require all partygoers to show identification before getting on the bus, though, so be sure that all of your invited guests are of age.
Historical Tour
Put a spin on the party bus concept by hosting a wine and cheese historical tour of a city. Senior citizens might enjoy touring Boston, Philadelphia, San Francisco or other historical cities in a party bus while sipping wine and listening to music. Alternatively, a tour of your family's hometown on a party bus could add a new twist to your next family reunion.
Miniature Golf
While a miniature golf course may not fit on the party bus, you can incorporate mini golfing into a party bus outing. Both kids and adults will enjoy traveling in the party bus to get to a miniature golf course, playing a round, and then hopping back on the bus for dinner and/or drinks. If you are hosting an adult party, be sure your guests have not had too much to drink prior to golfing.

How to Create Host a Virtual Library WebsiteIn Feburary 2016 29,
In Feburary 2016 29,
Choose the content of your virtual library wisely. The difference between a website and a virtual library is the quality of the content chosen for inclusion. Expanding your library outside of the traditional library building is the key to holding on to existing patrons and making new ones. Make sure that the sources chosen for inclusion in your virtual library are of the same quality you would give to your patrons in person.
Practice good design techniques when implementing your virtual library layout. Good virtual library design techniques include a simple layout, familiar fonts and color schemes and self-explanatory pages. Keep in mind as you create this site that your users will be accessing the virtual library from remote locations. If they have a problem or do not understand something immediately, you will not be around to answer their questions. If your site is too complicated or confusing, users will go elsewhere to find the information they are seeking.
Offer as many online resources as possible, such as 'IM a librarian,' chat with a librarian and email reference consultations; online library card registration, online newsletters/blogs, links to community resources, reference tools such as pathfinders and comment forms and surveys.
Evaluate and improve your virtual library site. Do so often because the Internet is constant evolving. Keeping your users satisfied means keeping yourself updated on the latest Internet trends and incorporating them into your virtual library site as appropriate.
Invite users to visit your library in person. Make sure your hours and services are posted and highly visible. Hopefully you will find yourself with a few new patrons in the process.

How to Make a Political Blog WebsiteIn Feburary 2016 29,
In Feburary 2016 29,
Decide how you would prefer to host your political blog. If you already have web server space of your own, you may simply be able to turn on a blogging plug in on your server admin panel. Most people, however, opt to use a hosted blog from a dedicated blogging site.
Choose the blogging software you want to use. Depending upon the hosting situation you prefer, this choice may have already been made for you. WordPress and MovableType are two of the most common choices if you are hosting your own blog, and are also an option if you prefer to host with them. Blogger, LiveJournal and Xanga are all options that include hosting as a part of a blog package, but cannot be used on your own web space. Take the time to compare features between the different packages. Look for easy photo uploading, convenient access and remote blog posting abilities.
Set up your blog. Proprietary blog services, including Blogger and TypePad, make this very easy. It takes only a few minutes to establish an account and set up your web address. If you are hosting your own blog, you will find that software installation is generally quite simple, particularly if your host offers one click blog software access.
Choose a template from the choices available with your blog software. You can also design your own blog template, depending upon the options available with your software and host. Paid blog services or hosting your own will allow you the most design freedom for your political blog.
Fill out personal profile or about me information. Keep personal confidentiality in mind, particularly if your political blog could put you at risk at work or elsewhere. If you are not using your real name, choose a pseudonym that fits with your political blogging.
Begin blogging. An interesting blog requires more than just writing. Include images, photos and interesting links to keep your political blog entertaining and informative to your readers. You may wish to consider advertising programs to bring in additional income from your new blog.

What Do I Need to Make a Server?In Feburary 2016 29,
In Feburary 2016 29,
The first and most obvious thing you will need to have your own server is an Internet connection. This connection can be dedicated to the server or shared with other computers, however, there are a few things to consider when choosing an service plan for a server. The first is upstream speed. Because most Internet users download far more data than they upload to the Internet, most service plans have a drastically higher downstream speed than upstream speed. The amount needed will vary according to the type of server you wish to run. So it’s important to estimate your needs and, when shopping for service, read the fine print to ensure that the plan provides enough upstream bandwidth.
Static Internet Protocol (IP) Address
The other important consideration when shopping for service is how IP addresses are assigned. An IP address is a number that is used to identify a computer on the Internet. With most service plans, this number will often change each time a computer reconnects. This is called a Dynamic IP address. This works fine, unless you have a server that intends to have its own domain name. Domain names (such as www.ehow.com) must be looked up using a special service to translate them into a server’s IP address. However, if a server’s IP address is constantly changing, this can create problems when users try to look up your server by domain name. Therefore, it is important to purchase a Internet service plan that promises you a Static IP, one that does not change.
Dedicated Computer
While it’s quite possible to use a server computer as a desktop computer also, there are a number of reasons why this is not advisable. The biggest reason is security: servers are visible to the Internet in a way that a well-maintained desktop system usually isn’t. Running server software is essentially opening a window into a computer that is usually kept closed and locked.
Server Software
You will need software to serve the content you wish to serve. What you choose will depend on your own needs. If you wish to serve a website, the open source and very widely used program Apache is the most common. If you wish to serve an online game, you will need server software from the game’s publishers.
Security Software
Finally, and sadly, you will need security software. While you ought to have security software such as antivirus protection and a firewall running on every machine in your network, this becomes doubly important with a server. As mentioned above: running server software opens gateways into your computer that are normally left closed, and that makes it easier and more likely that your computer will be targeted by malicious hackers.

Use the syntax '{Image:Image name|thumb|caption}' where you want the image to appear. The thumb refers to the width specified already. Typically, 180 pixels is the default size.
Change the thumb-width to the size you want. For example, if you want 120 pixels, type '{Image:Image name|120p|caption}.' The image can only be as large as its original size. You can make it as small as you want.
Use 'frame' in the image syntax to maintain the original size of the image. For example, '{Image:Image name|frame|caption}.'
Specify the width options in your account preferences. Click on 'My Preferences,' the third tab/box on the top of the page.
Click on the 'File' tab/box in the 'My Preferences' page.
Set the size of the thumbnails, either 120, 150, 180, 200, 250 or 300 pixels.
Specify the resolution of the images on the 'Image Description' page. The default sizes of the width and height are 800 or 600 pixels.
Choose from the options listed. There are approximately six preferences listed for the height and width of images.

How to Choose a Web Hosting ServiceIn Feburary 2016 28,
In Feburary 2016 28,
Make sure the host's server provides a sufficiently fast connection to the Internet. A T3 connection is optimal, but a T1 will work for most Web sites. A dial-up connection is usually much too slow.
Find out how many machines will be sharing the server with you. You don't want to be slowed down by traffic from other sites. Compare this number with other hosting services to give yourself negotiating room.
Investigate limits on bandwidth and hits. Make sure you won't be charged severely if a lot of traffic goes through your site. Look for reasonable flat monthly rates as opposed to rates based on use.
Find out what kind of customer support the host offers. Twenty-four hour support and speedy replies aren't unreasonable demands. Try to avoid paying for customer support.
Plan ahead when thinking about Web space. The amount of space you need depends on the nature of your site, but be sure to give your site room to grow.
Look for a company that offers virtual hosting. This will allow you to use your own domain name (www.yoursite.com) as your URL as opposed to a directory within the host's domain (www.host.com/yoursite). If you don't feel that you need your own domain name, save money and stick with the host's URL.
Make sure the host provides adequate CGI-bin access if you'll be using forms, and that the CGI bin can support your scripts. You should have your own CGI-bin directory with unlimited access.
Opt for Web-based administration if you're unfamiliar with Web programming. This will provide a Web-based interface for the maintenance of the site.
Look for a host that offers FTP and Telnet access to facilitate uploading files and editing CGI scripts.
Evaluate your e-mail needs. Some servers offer POP mailboxes, while others simply offer aliases that reroute mail to existing mailboxes. Some hosts put limits on the number of allowed aliases. Make sure you fully understand the host's e-mail services.

How to Throw a Christmas PartyIn Feburary 2016 28,
In Feburary 2016 28,
Make three key decisions before solidifying Christmas party plans: Whether you’re planning a sit-down dinner party, casual cocktail party or a holiday open house; what day you plan to host the party; and who will be invited. You can also choose a theme, such an ugly Christmas sweater party, if you like. Saturdays in December are ideal for holiday parties, but your guests’ weekend calendars book up quickly. For fewer conflicts, plan a party earlier in the month rather than close to Christmas. Send out invitations at least four weeks in advance. For a formal party, send proper paper invitations featuring holiday themes; for a casual or small party, an email invitation or phone call is probably sufficient.
Planning the Decor
Adorn your home with even more Christmas decorations than you normally would for the season; a thoroughly decked-out home makes a party’s ambiance that much more festive. Aim to have a good number of presents wrapped and under the twinkling Christmas tree; if you haven’t finished your holiday shopping yet, wrap up some empty boxes in matching paper tied with satin ribbon. For a simple decoration, collect vintage ornaments and place them in glass bowls or pitchers. Don’t forget to hang a large wreath or red bow on the door so guests know where the party is located.
Picking the Menu
The menu can vary drastically based on the type of party you’re planning. For an elegant holiday party, “Gourmet” magazine recommends serving roasted prime rib with a side of potato and porcini mushroom gratin, broccoli and cauliflower and rosemary popovers. This follows the “keep it simple” mantra noted by Style At Home: Keep it simple with a salad, main dish with a starchy side and two vegetables. For cocktail parties, focus on bite-sized appetizers that you can make in advance and freeze. “Bon Apetit” magazine suggests miniature crab cakes, beef sates and pear and cherry and pine nut tartlets as some dessert options. Serve both red and white wine, a seasonal beer and a signature cocktail; something red, such as a cranberry margarita or spiced sangria, is festive and widely appealing. Stock up on nonalcoholic drinks, too, such as coffee, sodas, cocoa, cider and water.
Selecting the Entertainment
For many holiday parties, all the entertainment that guests need is the ability to catch up with other family and friends. Put on seasonal music, but keep the tunes low so guests can hear each other easily. For a cocktail party, choose upbeat jazzy Christmas classics; at a dinner party, low and slow traditional carols might be more appropriate. If many of your guests don’t know each other, a game such as the Christmas-themed “Guess Me” icebreaker might get them talking. Write classic Christmas characters, such as Scrooge from “A Christmas Carol,” Kevin McCallister from “Home Alone” and Ralphie from “A Christmas Story,” on name tags and place them on guests’ backs when they arrive. Guests must ask each other questions to figure out who their character is; the first three to correctly guess win a prize.

Oracle ORAIn Feburary 2016 28,
In Feburary 2016 28,
Oracle servers run both an Oracle database and listener process. One Oracle listener, which you can configure to support multiple databases, receives and manages client connection requests. If the listener receives more requests than it can handle, user requests can time out; in this case, restarting the listener will resolve the error.
Database Connection
Oracle database connection requests aren't processed unless they include authentication information such as a user name, password and the name of the Oracle service. If the authentication services aren't running or the password name is incorrect, communication efforts will fail. Similarly, if the Oracle database locks up and fails to respond to database queries, Oracle will report a failure. According to “Oracle Dba on Unix and Linux” by Michael Wessler, if the Oracle database itself crashes, the program's background processes such as PMON and SMON will terminate, and you will receive an “ORA-12637 packet receive failed” or 'TNS: packet writer failure' message.
Server & Hardware
The Tnsnames.ora file on your computer contains references to Oracle servers with which it regularly communicates. If a server name is incorrect or incomplete, Oracle can't connect to it. If the port referenced in the Tnsnames.ora file isn't open, you may see an “ORA-12637 packet receive failed” message. Router and network interface controller, or NIC, card failures also cause this problem, as can insufficient server disk input/output and system memory.
Communication
Packet communication errors can occur when a network's data traffic is so great that the time-out limit hits before your computer receives a response from the Oracle server. If the packet sizes are too large for the server to process, you can change the transport date unit, or TDU, parameters in the Tnsnames.ora file. If a network router fails and the data packets are routed to other nodes that cannot handle the load, error messages will result. You also might see errors from a malicious denial-of-service attack, or hackers turning off the Oracle listener, although the latter appears as a process failure.

Flexisign TipsIn Feburary 2016 28,
In Feburary 2016 28,
To get the best out of FlexiSign, you must make sure that your monitor is properly configured to view colors correctly. Even if you use a high-end monitor the screen may appear slightly skewed and not quite as sharp as it could. This can often be cleared up with a third-party monitor testing program. This will help your computer to readjust to test your monitor for resolution, brightness, contrast, geometry, screen regulation and more. A simple online version of this type of program is available at the Display Calibration site. For optimal monitor calibration, you may need a hardware device that corrects display issues.
New Color Profile
Once you have optimally calibrated your monitor, you must make sure that it syncs up with your printer and ink combinations for proper color output during your prints. FlexiSign accomplishes this by importing appropriate International Color Consortium (ICC) profiles, which make sure your colors are set a particular way. When a client gives you an ICC profile, import it by going to Production Manager in the program and clicking on 'Default Job Properties.' Click the 'Perform Color Correction' box, 'Add,' and then browse and select the ICC profile. Select 'Add' from the Linearization table drop-down menu and then pick the ICC profile again but this time with a Tone Reproduction Curve (TRC) extension. Click 'Open' to install the ICC profile. It will now appear in your Production Manager, Flexi RIP and Print sections.
Don't Overcompress
When saving an image in FlexiSign there is an automatic suppress option to make sure that your file size does not get too large. The problem is that this will affect the quality of your digital image. Using the JPG format in FlexiSign or any other editing program will cause your image to lose quality. If you must submit the JPG file format -- as opposed to a compression-free image like a TIF -- uncheck the 'Suppress' box when saving the file. This will bring up a sliding scale of how much you wish to compress the image. Move the compression to 0 percent and click 'OK'; then 'Save.' This will keep your image quality as high as possible.
Preview Before Printing
Printing at full scale in FlexiSign should be reserved for the last step when you are sure that there are no errors in your design. Before doing this, preview your image using the FlexiSign viewing options. Click on either 'Actual Size,' 'Actual Pixels' or '1:1' to view the file at the print size. Step back five feet or so and look to see if there are any problems with the sign that can be perceived with the naked eye. Be vigilant in your checking and double-checking to ensure that you will have the best image possible before printing.

Microsoft Exchange Server TutorialIn Feburary 2016 28,
In Feburary 2016 28,
Microsoft Exchange Server is part of the Microsoft Windows Server line, and is intended to deliver a platform for messaging and collaboration. The primary features of Exchange Server include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks. Exchange Server also provides a platform for mobile and web-based users who need to be able to access their data remotely, as well as support for data storage.
Enhanced Features
Microsoft Exchange Server was first launched in 1996; more recent versions, such as Exchange Server 2007 and recently released Exchange Server 2010, include many enhancements from its original version. Some of these are:
Security: Exchange Server now includes anti-spam and anti-virus filtering, as well as encryption technology. This protects users' data from outside intrusion and corruption.
Data Protection: Exchange Servers can be used in a cluster environment, which replicates the data across several servers and guarantees its availability. In this way, there can be no single point of failure; if one server goes down, the other servers will pick up the slack and continue to provide data to users.
Unified Messaging: Exchange Server allows users to receive voice mail, email, and faxes in their mailboxes. In addition, remote users can access their mailboxes from cell phones and other wireless devices.
Improved IT Experience: Exchange Servers are completely scalable, and include 64-bit performance. There is a simplified graphical user interface (GUI) to make administration easy, and an improved deployment and routing process.
Exchange Server Roles
As a network administrator, you can choose which server roles to install on an Exchange server. Server roles are used to logically group specific features of Exchange together, which helps to simplify installation, and gives you the ability to fully customize your Exchange Server to meet your company's specific needs.The types of server roles include:
Mailbox Server: This server runs on the back end, and hosts mailboxes and public folders.
Unified Messaging Server: This is the middle-tier server that connects a Private Branch Exchange system (PBX, commonly referred to as a phone system) to Exchange 2007.
Client Access Server: This is the middle-tier server that hosts all client protocols, such as Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS), Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3), Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4), and Outlook Anywhere. The Client Access Server can also host Web services.
Hub Transport Server: This server is responsible for routing all mail within the Exchange organization.
Edge Transport Server: This server typically sits on the perimeter of the network topology, and is responsible for routing mail into and out of the Exchange organization.
For the End User
Clients that are using Exchange Server to access their data will typically use Microsoft Outlook, part of the Microsoft Office suite. However, there are alternatives. If a client wishes to connect to their email through a website, they can use Outlook Web Access (OWA). And for Mac users, both Microsoft Entourage and Apple Mail can be used to connect to an Exchange Server.

Server roles are used to logically group specific features of Exchange together, which helps to simplify installation, and gives you the ability to fully customize your Exchange Server to meet your company's specific needs.The types of server roles include:
Mailbox Server: This server runs on the back end, and hosts mailboxes and public folders.
Unified Messaging Server: This is the middle-tier server that connects a Private Branch Exchange system (PBX, commonly referred to as a phone system) to Exchange 2007.
Client Access Server: This is the middle-tier server that hosts all client protocols, such as Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS), Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3), Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4), and Outlook Anywhere. The Client Access Server can also host Web services.
Hub Transport Server: This server is responsible for routing all mail within the Exchange organization.
Edge Transport Server: This server typically sits on the perimeter of the network topology, and is responsible for routing mail into and out of the Exchange organization.
For the End User
Clients that are using Exchange Server to access their data will typically use Microsoft Outlook, part of the Microsoft Office suite. However, there are alternatives. If a client wishes to connect to their email through a website, they can use Outlook Web Access (OWA). And for Mac users, both Microsoft Entourage and Apple Mail can be used to connect to an Exchange Server.

How to Run a Pool Tournament in a BarIn Feburary 2016 28,
In Feburary 2016 28,
Decide how many players will be allowed, keep in mind time and the number of available pool tables. The average weekly bar tournament allows 8-16 players for at least 2 pool tables. Draw up brackets or download them for free at a number of sites.
Decide on the rules of the pool tournament, including the number of games per match . Almost every league has its own variation on billiard rules, so specify what leagues rules you choose to follow. It is easier to pick a league to follow so that rules can be looked up or distributed to all players in the pool tournament.
When choosing the number of games per match keep time in mind. No player wants to wait hours between matches, but the bar owner needs players there long enough to buy food and drinks. An average 8-Ball tournament can be a race to see who wins 3 games, 9-Ball is often a race to 5 games.
Set an entry fee and ask the bar owner if they would like to add anything to the pot. This could include free drink coupons, t-shirts, or cash. You don't have to decide the exact dollar amount of the pay-outs at this time, but you should choose how the split will look as a percentage. For example, an average weekly bar pool tournament will split the pay-out like this: 1st Place - 50 percent, 2nd Place - 30 percent 3rd Place - 20 percent. The bar owner can decide how and when to award prizes they donated.
Advertise the pool tournament everywhere you can. Most pool league operators have newsletters they send out, ask to be included. Set fliers around the bar where the pool tournament is to be held, and other bar owners may allow you to advertise if pool is not their main interest.
Setting up a pool tournament at a bar
Arrive at the bar early on the day of the pool tournament to have everything set up before players come in. Start taking names and money from entrants as soon as they show up. Keep all entry money in a secure area.
Count the number of entrants in the pool tournament. You may end up with an odd number of players or a less than full bracket. You can still have a tournament as long as there are at least 7 players. You will need to add 'byes' to the brackets.
Players can draw cards for placement in a bracket . However you choose to seed players, call them all together around a pool table and do it in an orderly fashion. Write the number drawn next to each person's name on the list of entrants. Double-check that all numbers have been assigned.Transfer the players' names to the corresponding number on the bracket sheet.
Double-check money, payouts, and brackets, and call your first match. Ask some interested and knowledgeable on-lookers to help in watching tables.
Monitoring a pool tournament at a bar
Pay attention to all of the games being played. Try not to get too deeply involved in one match or conversation, keep an open ear to the entire bar.
Make rulings yourself or have and impartial person watch the shot in question. Have a rule book handy for the closest of calls. Some players know the rules to the letter and may call the smallest infraction, so advise all of the pool tournament players to read the rule book prior to playing.
Update brackets and call new billiard matches timely. Play at least two rounds on the winner's side of the tournament bracket before moving to the loser's side. After being eliminated, most players will leave the bar, this does nothing for the bar owner's business.Try to rotate between the winner's bracket and the loser's bracket to spread out play for everyone. No one wants to sit for hours between matches, and word will get around.
Wrapping up a pool tournament at a bar
Watch the final billiard matches closely and bring attention to it among the patrons. Announce the money matches as they come up. Billiard players thrive on attention and will return for the spotlight if nothing else.
Make a big deal about pay outs and prizes. Announce to the entire bar who the winners are and what place they came in or what prize they won. You shouldn't announce the monetary amount, if any.
Invite players back, especially good ones. The better players you have, the more players you will draw. Every billiard player loves a challenge, and a well run tournament may even the odds for beginners.

Twitter Vs. TextingIn Feburary 2016 28,
In Feburary 2016 28,
Text messages are written notes sent from cell phone to cell phone. Very similar to online chat or instant messaging, text messaging uses emoticons like the world-famous smiley face :) to express feelings in the messages. Texting is the verb used to refer to the act of sending a text message. Texting is now so popular that answering machines and voice mail are becoming obsolete because of it.
Twitter
Twitter is actually a web-based social network that has achieved immense popularity. Even celebrities and political figures have taken to tweeting. A tweet, derived from the website name Twitter, is an online status posting by a member of Twitter. The tweet does not have to have a specific recipient. You can simply tweet what you are doing or what's on your mind at that moment. The tweet is then sent out to others on the network who follow your tweets, or it can be set up so it can be viewed by anyone.
Advantages of Texting Over Tweeting
A text message maintains privacy. It is sent between you and your recipient, and no other party will be able to view it. When you send a text message, the recipient's cell phone will ring or vibrate, notifying the person that a text has been received. He can then read it at his convenience and reply if he wishes.
Advantages of Tweeting Over Texting
Tweets do not have a primary recipient. This makes them much more useful to make an announcement to all your friends, where you would have had to send out dozens of text messages to get the same effect. It also is convenient for just making general observations or updating relatives and friends on what you are up to. Unlike a text message, it won't actually alert them specifically. If they log in to Twitter, they will be able to see your post, but they will not be interrupted just to get the message.
Price
Text messaging is still a service that is calculated by the number of texts sent and received. Wireless providers usually have two or three plans with varying numbers of texts for a flat fee, and then you will be charged a fee if you go over your predetermined limit. Most providers also have a certain price for unlimited texting that usually rivals the cost of the phone plan itself. Tweeting is completely free from a computer, and if you have a smart phone with the internet activated, it will be free on the move as well.

How to Add a Newline Character to the End of a Line in SedIn Feburary 2016 28,
In Feburary 2016 28,
Open a terminal. The procedure to do this will depend on your operating system. Most Unix and Linux systems either open a terminal immediately on start up or have a terminal icon somewhere on the desktop. In Mac OS X, click the 'Spotlight' button and type 'Terminal.' In Windows, click 'Start,' 'Run' and type 'cmd.'
Type the following :sed '/$/G'This tells sed to search the text for all end of lines ($) and add a new line (G), effectively double-spacing the file. Alternatively, if you want to insure that there is never more than one blank line between paragraphs, change the command to read:sed '/^$/d;G' This tells sed to match only completely blank lines (^$), delete those blank lines (d) and replace them with a single new line (G).
Feed the data from a text file into sed by typing the following:cat textfile.txt | sed '/^$/d;G'

Alternatively, if you want to insure that there is never more than one blank line between paragraphs, change the command to read:sed '/^$/d;G' This tells sed to match only completely blank lines (^$), delete those blank lines (d) and replace them with a single new line (G).
Feed the data from a text file into sed by typing the following:cat textfile.txt | sed '/^$/d;G'

How to Set up Port Forwarding for a NetworkIn Feburary 2016 28,
In Feburary 2016 28,
Make a list of ports you need to forward. Most programs require their ports to be forwarded; if this is not done, information from these programs will not be seen by your local computer. If you know a program for which ports need to be forwarded, write it down. Afterwards, check the software manufacturer's website to find the port or series of ports along with the protocol type associated with your program/application of interest. Write this down as well.
Set up a static IP address on the computer for which ports will be forwarded. To set up a static IP address on a Mac OS X, simply click the apple icon on the top left corner of the screen, select 'System Preferences' and under 'Internet and Network,' select 'Network.' Select the network connection you are currently using and click 'Configure.' Click 'Configure IPv4' and select 'Manually.' The IP address you select should be similar to your router's IP address with the last number ranging range from 1-254. Typically, you can add 10 or more to the your router's last number. This should work in most cases as a static IP address. For instance, if your router's address is 192.168.1.1, you can choose 192.168.1.11 as your static IP address.
Start forwarding your ports by accessing your router's website. Open a web browser (Explorer, Safari or Firefox) and enter your router's IP address after the http://. This should lead you to your router's website. Locate the links which will lead you to Port Forwarding or Port Redirection. Once there, simply indicate the Program/Application Name, protocol type (TCP or IP) and port number(s) on both the public and private ports. You might need to check off a box to indicate that you would like to activate this port. Click 'OK' or 'Save' to save your settings.
Reconfigure your firewall so that you are able to open ports that are being blocked by your firewall. Alternatively, you can disable your firewalls and turn them on manually one at a time to see which firewall is blocking ports from entering your LAN.

How to Find the Login for FTP for GoDaddyIn Feburary 2016 28,
In Feburary 2016 28,
Check the email you received from GoDaddy when you created your Web hosting account. GoDaddy recommends that customers print out this confirmation email, because it contains important account information that customers often need to use as they manage a website. Either find the email within a folder of your email browser or find the printed copy of the email, because it contains your login name and password.
Visit the GoDaddy website and enter your Customer Number in the upper-left corner of the homepage. Click the 'My Account' tab and then click 'Web Hosting' from beneath the 'Products' section in the left sidebar. Select the domain you wish to view and find the 'Overview' tab. Within the 'Overview' tab, you will see a 'Login' box with your username.
Create a new password if you cannot remember your password and you do not have your confirmation email from GoDaddy. Visit the GoDaddy website and enter your Customer Number in the upper-left corner of the homepage. Click the 'My Account' tab and then click 'Web Hosting' from beneath the 'Products' section in the left sidebar. Click 'Launch' beside the correct hosting account. Within the 'FTP' section, find the 'Password' field and select 'Change.' Enter a new password twice into the appropriate fields and select 'Update.' GoDaddy warns that it may take as long as one hour for a new password to take effect.
Contact GoDaddy if you continue to experience technical problems. Dial (480) 505-8877 to speak with a support representative. Provide your customer PIN or the last four digits of the credit card you used to pay for your Web hosting. Providing either of these numbers identifies you to GoDaddy -- the customer service representative will not assist you without either of these numbers. Ask the support representative for your login information. The representative will email you the information to the email address associated with your Web hosting account.

How to Start an Online Goody Bag BusinessIn Feburary 2016 28,
In Feburary 2016 28,
Determine the type of goody bag products you are going to sell. Try to specialize within the niche. For instance, you can sell eco-friendly goody bags made from all-natural materials or hand-made gifts and treats. You can specialize in food items, or international gift items. Keep your product line simple and categorize your products according to price.
Analyze domain name options. Think of a domain name that reflects your product. Avoid using your business registered name but instead use a fictitious or DBA (Doing Business As) name that reflects the goody bag product. Remember the domain name is the name that will be remembered by customers, and it is easier to remember a name that is associated with goody bags.
Locate a webhosting service. Most of the websites that sell domain names also sell web hosting packages. As this is an e-commerce site use a webhosting space that is midsized. Pay on a monthly or yearly basis. Most web hosting companies charge between $5 to $10 a month.
Look through different website templates and e-store templates websites like Website Templates, Stylish Template or Steve's Templates to find one that may be appropriate for your new online goody bag business. Be sure the template has shopping card options. Write the descriptions and content for the goody bag website. Hire a freelance web designer to help you load the website you chose to your domain name.
Promote the website. Create a Facebook and Twitter account and add members and fans. Tweet about your goody bag service and explain why these make nice gifts for friends or business associates. Write articles about your product explaining the benefits and the types of gifts that can be chosen to be a part of the goody bag. Post the information on your website or blog. Create listings on auction websites like eBay Etsy. Place a link to your website in your listing. Place advertisements on bulletin boards like Craigslist or the Bulletin Board. Add your website address to business cards, and letterhead. Leave your business card on restaurant or store bulletin boards so people can find your website. Send out newsletters, and promotionals to customers who do buy from you.
Hire a search engine optimization specialist to help you list your website on a first page in the search engines. Think of search terms people might use to find a website like yours. Write these terms or keywords down and give them to the SEO specialist. Have him help you get a first page listing under those terms or other keywords like gifts, gift bags, goody bags, and others that refer to your particular niche. This way people will find your online goody bag business when looking for those terms.

How to Embed a Podcast in WordPressIn Feburary 2016 28,
In Feburary 2016 28,
Upload your podcast file to your Web server using an FTP client. This is necessary because on most blogs, you cannot upload large files through the dashboard. Put the podcast file in the main directory on your WordPress site; do not upload it to any of the sub-directories.
Log in to the WordPress dashboard from the 'wp-admin' directory of your website. Navigate to 'Posts' and click 'Add New.' Fill out the form with a title and description of the podcast.
Click the 'HTML' tab on the WordPress editor box. Copy and paste the following code into your post in the section where you want the audio player to appear:
This code is for the free Google Reader MP3 player. It will work on any Web page as long as your visitors' browsers are Flash-enabled. Most players require Flash, so this is a standard requirement.
Change 'MP3_FILE_URL' in the example code above to point to the URL of your podcast file. Additionally, change the 'width' value to adjust the width of the player, if you wish. You can change the height, too, but it looks best at the default setting of '27.'
Publish the post to your WordPress blog. The podcast will be embedded in your post.
