How to Set Up a Ventrilo ServerIn Feburary 2016 30,
In Feburary 2016 30,
Visit the Ventrilo website and click \'Download\' on the panel on the left.
Click one of the links under the 'Server Programs' heading. There are versions of Ventrilo for Windows, Linux and Mac OS. Be sure to download the version designed for your operating system.
Read the legal text, then click \'I Agree.\' Save the file when the download window appears.
Return to the download page and download \'Ventrilo Client.\'
Run the setup program for Ventrilo Server. The Ventrilo Server Installation Wizard will take you through installation. Click \'Next\' to continue, \'Back\' to go back a step or \'Cancel\' to abandon the installation. Make sure to read each page, set the options you want and then click \'Finish\' at the end.
Run the setup program for Ventrilo Client. Follow the Ventrilo Client Installation Wizard, then click \'Finish\' at the end.
Click 'Edit INI file' in the 'VentSrv' Start Menu folder. The settings for your Ventrilo server are set in the file 'ventrilo_srv.ini.' Here is an overview of each line. When you have the settings the way you want, save, then close 'vents_srv.ini'.
[Server]: This is label for the file, do not alter it.
(blank space): For the sake of organization, just leave the blank space.
Name=Server 1: This sets the name of the server, which is 'Server 1' at the moment. Rename the server to whatever you like, but the name must follow 'Name='. The equal sign is important.
Phonetic=Server 1: Ventrilo has a voice synthesizer that will read the server name. If you do not want a creepy, robotic voice mispronouncing your server name, you can delete the Phonetic.
Auth=0: This setting determines how people log in to the server. At '0', anyone can connect. At '1' the person must have a password. At '2' only certain user names with a password can connect to the server.
Duplicates=1: Allows or forbids duplicate user names. '0' to make everyone choose different user names or '1' to allow multiple appearances of the same user name.
AdminPassword=: This is where you set the password to access administrator rights. You should set a password to limit access.
Password=: You set the password users will need to connect.
SendBuffer=0: Sets the size of the TCP outbound buffers. '0' defaults to 131,072 bytes. Leave this setting as is.
RecvBuffer=0: Sets the size of the TCP inbound buffers, also something you should leave alone.
Diag=0: This setting toggles diagnostics for developers, another hands-off setting.
LogonTimeout=5: Specifies how many seconds a client has to log in to the server before the user is disconnected. Once logged in, the user is fine.
CloseStd=1: This setting deals with running the server as a background service and is not used for typical server use. '0' does not close handles while '1' will close handles. Leave this setting at '1.'
TimeStamp=1: Enables or disables times stamps in console messages. If you are interested in knowing exactly when messages occurred, set this to '1.'
PingRate=10: Sets how often the server pings the client. Useful for addressing problems with a client. The number represents seconds, so it is 10 seconds at default.
ExtraBuffer=0: Gives additional buffer space to outbound client data streams. '0' sets the default to 128,000 bytes. Do not touch this option or you will risk making problems. The default allowance is plenty.
ChanWidth=0: Sets the number of possible sub-channels that can be created. '0' means no limit.
ChanDepth=0: Sets the maximum number of nested sub-channels. Nested sub-channels are sub-channels that retain attributes of the main channel from which they were created. '0' sets the maximum at eight.
ChanClients=0: Limits the number of clients in a channel. '0' sets no limit.
DisableQuit=0: Enables or disables someone with administrator rights from remotely instructing the server to exit. This feature is allowed by default.
VoiceCodec=0: Sets which codecs are used by clients. '0' means that the server pulls from a set list of possible codecs that can be viewed in the console with the command 'ventrilo_srv -?'. This is yet another setting you should not alter.
VoiceFormat=1: Ties into VoiceCodec, so you should also just let it be.
SilentLobby=0: Allows or forbids voice in the lobby.
AutoKick=0: This setting determines how long, in seconds, that a client can remain connected to the server. At the default setting of '0', there is no limit.
Return to the Start Menu folder for Ventrilo Server and run Ventrilo Server. A console window will appear and list the options you set in the 'ventrilo_srv.ini' file. Your server is now running.
Run Ventrilo Client to try out your new server. Set your user name, then fill out the connection editor. The connection editor, accessed by clicking the arrow next to the server field, will ask for the server name, IP address, port number, password and default channel. Leave the 'Port number' and 'Default channel' fields alone for now and fill out the rest. The password is whatever you set in the 'Password=' setting in the 'ventrilo_srv.ini' file.
Select your server then click \'Connect.\' The server console window will note your connection. Your Ventrilo server is now up and running.

How to Write a Fashion Show ScriptIn Feburary 2016 30,
In Feburary 2016 30,
Fashion show script writing begins with solid research and careful thought. Spend time with each of the garments to find out what makes them special. Investigate what they are made of, what is fashionable about the cut, what its function is and how it is meant to be worn. Learn whether it belongs to a particular genre and what is new and different about it. Identify the designer for each garment and dig up the story behind the inspiration for it.
Developing a Vocabulary
If you don't already have a large and sparkling fashion vocabulary, start reading fashion magazines. Pay particular attention to how outfits are described and the storytelling methods used to sell an outfit. Read clothing catalogs and outfit descriptions. Make notes about compelling and inspiring language. Peruse fashion sites that provide lists of words to use for clothing.
Writing the Descriptions
Don't approach the writing as an elementary school descriptive writing exercise. Tell stories to make your writing shine. The National Opinion writer Julia Robson writes, 'Although the writing at its best might look simple, it isn't. A combination of speaking from the heart and punchy, one-liners can take hours, days even, to get right.' Start with the obvious when describing the garment and then include important details about what makes it special -- what its story is. Introduce the designer and the model. Devote time to editing and polishing it. Read it aloud. Read it to a friend. Take out anything that is repetitious or is too hard to say. Pare it down to the bare necessities, while still making the text sparkle. Write to any word counts or time limits that you have for the fashion show.
Putting It All Together
Start the script with an introduction that talks about the show's purpose -- whether it is a fundraiser, highlighting a particular brand or following a specific theme. Welcome the audience. Organize outfits into
runs
and put the descriptions in the proper order. Double-check with organizers to ensure the script matches the order of model appearance. Some fashion shows will have entertainment or guest speakers between runs, mark such elements in your script. At the end of the show, include the emcee's closing speech along with any thank yous to models, designers or sponsors.
Formatting the Script
Find out how the emcee wants the script structured -- whether she can read it from a hand-held tablet or from hard copy. Put the name of the outfit in bold or all caps with the name of the designer and model immediately after it. Leave a space and then include the description you wrote. You may choose to put key facts in bold for easier reading. Break up your descriptions into short paragraphs so they are easy to read. Read the script aloud to ensure it flows and follows the time sequences. Adjust as necessary.

How to Get Around FTP Error: 226In Feburary 2016 30,
In Feburary 2016 30,
Create subfolders for the files and then transfer them. If you are transferring a lot of files (for example, more than 2,000), you may get the 226 error. This is one work-around.
Utilize STFP, instead of FTP, to transfer your files. SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) does not truncate your number of files per folder, as is the case with FTP.
Post your situation to an online forum. There is a virtually unlimited amount of help out there in the form of fellow computer users who may know how to deal more directly with your specific issue. See an example of one online forum in Resources.

Ideas for RefreshmentsIn Feburary 2016 30,
In Feburary 2016 30,
Sub sandwiches are relatively inexpensive to purchase from your local mom and pop or national sub shop chain. Order multiple foot-long sub sandwiches in a variety of types. Then, slice the subs into 2 to 3 inch pieces, place on a platter and serve as refreshments. So you don't have to stand in line, order the subs earlier in the day and arrange a pick-up time so that they are fresh. Also, when ordering, ask the sub shop to hold off on mayonnaise, mustard, oil and vinegar and sauces of any kind. Instead, provide those items in small serving bowls next to the sandwiches. People can then add those condiments if they desire. Also, you might consider writing out little cards in front of each platter to describe what is on each sub.
Sundae Bar
If you are hosting an event where a lot of kids are attending, consider offering a sundae bar as a refreshment. Purchase basic flavors of ice cream such as vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. Also purchase toppings such as whipped cream, hot fudge, caramel and sprinkles. About 20 minutes before the refreshments are to be served, take out the ice cream so it begins to soften slightly. Set out an ice cream scoop for each kind of ice cream. Also, heat the caramel sauce and hot fudge in small sauce pans and place them out in bowls as people begin to line up for refreshments. You may need to heat multiple batches of the hot fudge and caramel sauce depending on how many people are attending. Set out the whipped cream and sprinkles and invite people to make their own sundae. You can also purchase other toppings such as candy bars, crushed cookies and nuts.
Fruit and Vegetables
If you are having an event for the health conscious, then you might consider setting out fruits and vegetables for your guests to enjoy. Put together a vegetable platter by purchasing cherry tomatoes, celery, baby carrots, cucumber, raw broccoli and raw cauliflower. For dipping sauces, purchase light ranch, light blue cheese and light balsamic vinaigrette. Wash and pat dry the vegetables. Slice the cucumbers and celery to bite-size pieces and separate the broccoli and cauliflower. Arrange all on a platter and serve with the dressings for dipping. For the fruit refreshments, you can choose to set out items that can be eaten whole such as apples, peaches, and oranges, or make a simple fruit salad by combining pieces of melon, strawberries, blueberries, and pineapple. As a topping for the fruit salad, you can set out yogurt or whipped cream.
Cheese Plate
A cheese plate is very simple to put together and usually popular. Purchase several different kinds of cheese. They can be mild such as a light cheddar, or pungent, such as a bold bleu cheese. Plan to purchase 2 to 3 oz. of cheese per person if this is the only refreshment. However, that number can be reduced if your event is serving other food. About 15 minutes before serving, remove the cheese from the packaging and place on a platter. Place a knife out for each type of cheese so they do not mix. Finally in a basket, place a paper or cloth napkin and layer a bunch of crackers on top. The crackers can be of an assorted variety. Place some tongs in the basket that people can use to grab the crackers.

Ideas for Hosting a Scavenger Hunt at WorkIn Feburary 2016 30,
In Feburary 2016 30,
For a fun, ongoing scavenger hunt that people can do all day, have an ABC scavenger hunt. If you work in an office this works well because you do not have to go outside the office to do it. Everyone simply finds things that start with the letters A through Z. For example, a person might find an apple, a box, a copy machine, and so on until a person reaches something that begins with Z.
Staff Information
Create a list of information about your employees like who has been there the longest, who is the youngest, and who was recently in the local newspaper. This helps everyone get to know each other a little better and highlights positive things about each person. Do this type of scavenger hunt at the beginning of the year or after a group of people have been hired to help coworkers learn about each other.
Out and About
If you work somewhere that is in a neighborhood or a city, take a few hours and let people go in teams and find things on a scavenger hunt list. They must take pictures with each thing. Some examples are a dog, bus stop bench, thrift shop, and a fast food place. This is a fun way to break up the day and let people get to know each other a bit better.
Riddles
Create riddles and split the group into teams so they can work together trying to figure out what each riddle means. Have each riddle lead to another one until all of the clues are solved. Have a prize at the end like a free lunch for the winning team, or a lunch for everyone, but dessert for the winners.

SCP vs. FTP SpeedIn Feburary 2016 30,
In Feburary 2016 30,
Comparing SCP and FTP is a bit uneven, because SCP has been designed to work within the same network, and FTP is an Internet protocol designed for use on remote servers. FTP also tends to be used for moving multiple files; while you can use wildcards to transfer multiple files or copy entire directories in SCP, that's not the most common use for it. All in all, SCP and FTP are about evenly matched in speed when compared on the same network and with the same file; but your mileage may vary depending on the size of the files you're transferring and the way your network is configured. Your use of command flags may change files as well; Chris Dillon, software developer and writer of the tech blog Squarism uses '-c arcfour' to speed up the SCP transfer in his testing.
Security
An SCP transfer is an individual transfer -- you use 'scp' in a terminal to copy your files or directory to the other computer, without any frills or other options. It's a one-time movement, as opposed to FTP. With FTP you log in to an FTP session and can not only copy files from your computer, but can also manage files on the remote computer. This includes the ability to rename, delete, move, and modify files from the remote computer. SCP is a secure transfer; it uses secure shell to encrypt both your data and credentials. FTP does not offer protection against anyone who may be trying to view your network credentials.
Use
SCP is a Unix command designed to be used from the terminal. FTP is more flexible in that you can use it either in a terminal or using a graphic program such as WinSCP for Filezilla. You can also use FTP in a terminal, though this isn't common among casual Internet users. Should you choose to use the terminal, you'll need to look up FTP commands. For the most part they're very similar to basic commands – for instance, to transfer a file from your computer to the remote location you would use 'put test.file.'
Alternatives
The major benefit to SCP is the security; the benefit to FTP is the control over your destination. If neither quite meets your needs, a potential solution is SFTP, which was built using both FTP and SSH — secure shell — to create a protocol that's secure and allows you to control your destination area. In terms of speed, you're not going to see any major difference between FTP and SFTP; if anything, SFTP is going to be slower due to the need to secure your transfer. SFTP is also going to be slower than SCP. SFTP can be used in the terminal or in software designed for the task, the same as FTP.
In Feburary 2016 30,
Comparing SCP and FTP is a bit uneven, because SCP has been designed to work within the same network, and FTP is an Internet protocol designed for use on remote servers. FTP also tends to be used for moving multiple files; while you can use wildcards to transfer multiple files or copy entire directories in SCP, that's not the most common use for it. All in all, SCP and FTP are about evenly matched in speed when compared on the same network and with the same file; but your mileage may vary depending on the size of the files you're transferring and the way your network is configured. Your use of command flags may change files as well; Chris Dillon, software developer and writer of the tech blog Squarism uses '-c arcfour' to speed up the SCP transfer in his testing.

Research various Web site hosting and design companies to fit your needs. Various sites offer free hosting and design services, while others may charge a nominal fee. A website hosting company will maintain the site on a daily basis to make sure that all links and content operate smoothly. In addition, they will be a resource for the Web site owner to go to if there are any difficulties.
Register your domain name with the hosting and design site you choose. Be sure to have a few names as ideas, as the original one you want may already be taken. A domain name is the actual web address of your site. An example of a domain name/web address would be www.mywebsitename.com.
Follow the steps of your hosting and design site to develop your own Web site. You will have a choice of various themes, colors and platforms for your site.
Upload various photos, artwork and guestbook information for your users to be able to see on your page. Many sites will have various downloads users can add to their sites for free. These downloads will enable options such as a 'visitors counter,' which will count how many people visit your site, a guestbook for users to sign, and blog or feedback section to allow users to leave comments about your site. Your hosting site will provide you the tools to add these features to your site directly, usually by a simple click of a button or by selecting certain features during the design phase of the site.
Notify your hosting and design company when your page has been finished being designed and is ready to 'go live.' This will activate your page on the Internet and allow users to access it.

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 Use FileZillaIn Feburary 2016 29,
In Feburary 2016 29,
When you first open Filezilla, a large window opens with several windows within in the main window. The top window is where Filezilla will show its commands as it works. Below that on the left is the local computer, your computer. On the right is where you will see files from the remote computer. Each computer is broken down into two windows each, the upper window for directories, and the lower pane for directory contents. At the bottom in where progress of each uploading file is displayed.
Check with your webhost for your FTP host name, your username and password, which may be given by the host, or you have chosen. Click on the File drop down menu and chose Site Manager. A new window will open.
In Site Manager chose New Site. In the Select Entry pane, a new icon appears. Type in the name of your site.
In the pane to the right of the Select Entry, click on the General Tab. Here you will find several options. Type in the host name, usually in the format of ftp.(your-domain-name).com. Chose FTP Server Type. Chose the type of logon, usually that is normal.
Type in your username and password and click connect. The Site Manager will close automatically and you will see the commands to logon in the top pane of the main window.
If everything went right a list of folders should be displayed in the right hand panes of the main window. Now it is simple as finding your files in the left hand directory pane, and drag and drop them into the right hand pane, or vise versa.
Filezilla will decide for you what type of file you are transferring, but other FTP clients will ask you for a type, or assume a type.

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.

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.
