How to Setup an FTP Server in UbuntuIn Feburary 2016 26,

In Feburary 2016 26,
Open a terminal window.
Install vsftpd. Vsftpd is the daemon, or server, that users will connect to. To install vsftpd, type 'sudo apt-get install vsftpd.' Ubuntu will ask for your password. Follow the on screen instructions to install the server.
Edit the configuration, or conf, file. To do this, browse to '/etc' using the Nautilus file browser. Nautilus is the default file browser on most Ubuntu installations. Find 'vsftpd.conf' and double-click on the file.
Enable or disable anonymous access. Anonymous access allows people to access your server by simply giving you their email address. If anonymous access is disabled, you will need to create an account for each person who you wish to access your FTP server.
Set the location for the root of the FTP file structure. This setting is controlled by 'secure_chroot_dir' in the vsftpd.conf file.
Restart the FTP server by typing 'sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart.'
Place the files you want to share in the FTP root.

How to Find Construction Jobs to Bid onIn Feburary 2016 20,

In Feburary 2016 20,
Sign up for the Blue Book's BB Bid program. The Blue Book is a free resource that is found in almost every construction office in North America. It lists contractors by trade and region. Visit the Blue Book website to get your company listed free of charge. As contractors begin to see your name in the Blue Book, they will send bid invitations your way. This is an especially useful way for out-of-state contractors to find local companies to perform work.
Complete the American Institute of Architect's (AIA) Subcontractor Qualification form No. A305. This form is considered a standard resource to help contractors and owners evaluate new subcontracting companies. You can find this form on the AIA website.
Visit contractors and ask about construction bidding opportunities. Provide them with a copy of your completed A305 to give them an indication of your company's abilities. Ask how you can be placed on their company bid list. Most contractors will send bid invitations to all contractors on the bid list automatically, so the more contractors that put you on their lists, the better.
Look online. Most contractors have websites, and often they will list jobs they are accepting bids for on their site. In these situations, they will often have plans and specifications listed as well. By sending your bid in on these jobs, you are getting your company name out, so the more bids you send, the better.
Check into state and federal jobs. Most municipal jobs are open to all bidders, and drawings can often be found on the organization's website. Check with your state to see what's available in your area. This is an especially good construction bidding opportunity for minority business owners, who often are in high demand for municipal jobs due to minority participation requirements.

How to Use a Listbox Control in MFC Visual C++In Feburary 2016 19,

In Feburary 2016 19,
Create a new project in Visual Studio to manipulate the control. From the upper menu bar, click 'File' > 'New' and select 'MFC AppWizard(exe)' in the 'Projects' tab. Enter a name for the project in the 'Project name' text box and click 'OK.' Select the 'Dialog based' radio button and click 'Finish' and then 'OK.' A dialog screen with two control buttons, one 'OK' and one 'Cancel,' is displayed in the Design View mode.
Add MFC controls on the dialog screen: one list box and some auxiliary controls to make the tutorial more interesting. To find a list box, move the mouse over the controls toolbox and read the popup balloons. Click the 'List Box' icon and click on the dialog screen to add it there. In a similar fashion add an 'Edit Box' and two 'Buttons.'
Modify the MFC controls. Right-click on the list box, select 'Properties' and change the ID to IDC_MYLISTBOX, under the 'General' tab. Do the same to the edit box and change its ID to IDC_MYEDITBOX. In one button, change the ID to IDC_MYBUTTONADD and the Caption to 'Add.' In the other button, change the ID and Caption to IDC_MYBUTTONREM and 'Remove,' respectively.
Join the list box and edit box using the Class Wizard. From the upper menu, click 'View' > 'Classwizard' or press Ctrl+W. Select 'IDC_MYLISTBOX' under the 'Member Variables' tab and click 'Add Variable.' Type 'm_myListBox' in the 'Member variable name' text box and select 'Control' under 'Category.' Click 'OK.' Next, select 'IDC_MYEDITBOX,' click 'Add Variable' and give the name 'm_myEditBox.' Don't change the combo boxes. Click 'OK' to close the class wizard.
Give some functionality to the Add button. Double-click the 'Add' button. When the 'Add Member Function' window appears, click 'OK.' Copy and paste the following code inside the '::OnMybuttonadd()' function, under the comment:
CString str;
UpdateData();
str = m_myEditBox;
UpdateData(FALSE);
m_myListBox.AddString(str);
Repeat Step 5 for the 'Remove' button. Copy and paste the following code inside the '::OnMybuttonrem()' function, under the comment:
int pos;
CString str;
pos = m_myListBox.GetCurSel();
m_myListBox.DeleteString(pos);
Compile and run the code. Type some text in the edit box and click the Add button. That text will be added as a row in the list box. Next, highlight a list box row and click Remove. This action deletes the row.

Advantages Disadvantages of Normalizing a DatabaseIn Feburary 2016 18,

In Feburary 2016 18,
Databases can hold a significant amount of information, perhaps millions or billions of pieces of data. Normalizing a database reduces its size and prevents data duplication. It ensures that each piece of data is stored only once.
Groups Data Logically
Application developers who create applications to 'talk' to a database find it easier to deal with a normalized database. The data they access is organized more logically in a normalized database, often similar to the way in which the real-world objects that the data represent are organized. That makes the developers' applications easier to design, write and change.
Enforces Referential Integrity on Data
Referential integrity is the enforcement of relationships between data in joined tables. Without referential integrity, data in a table can lose its link to other tables where related data is held. This leads to orphaned and inconsistent data in tables. A normalized database, with joins between tables, can prevent this from happening.
Slows Database Performance
A highly normalized database with many tables and joins between the tables is slower than a database without those attributes. Many people using a normalized database at the same time also can slow down database speed. In some cases, a certain amount of denormalization of the database may be required to improve database speed.
Requires Detailed Analysis and Design
Normalizing a database is a complex and difficult task. Large databases with considerable amounts of information, such as ones run by banks, require careful analysis and design before they are normalized. Knowing the intended use of a database, such as whether it should it be optimized for reading data, writing data or both, also affects how it is normalized. A poorly normalized database may perform badly and store data inefficiently.

How to Insert an MPEG Video Into DreamWeaverIn Feburary 2016 04,

In Feburary 2016 04,
Upload the video to your Web page's server. Do this with whatever FTP program you usually use to upload images, objects and HTML files. You can also use Dreamweaver for this. Select the video that you want to upload In the 'Files' palette and click the blue 'Up' button.
Click the 'Code' button at the top of the Dreamweaver interface. This will put you into Code View, allowing you to view and edit the actual HTML code for your Web page.
Find the place in the code where you want to embed the video. This can be tricky if you've never worked with HTML, but you'll have plenty of chances to experiment. Look for text that tips you off to where you are in the page or look for images (represented in HTML by tags, where 'xxx' is the image filename) that do the same.
Insert the following code:
where 'movie.mpeg' is the filename (and path, if it's not the same as the HTML file) of your movie, and the two values under 'width' and 'height' are whatever you want to use. (If you leave these attributes out, the movie will appear in its actual size.) Control the attributes of the embedded movie by adding any number of arguments, separated by spaces, just like the 'width' and 'height' arguments. Here's a partial list:autostart='true' to make the video begin playing automaticallyloop='true' to make the video continue playing forever unless stopped by the userstarttime='00:00' to make the video begin at a particular location (minutes:seconds)align='left'/'right'/'top'/'bottom' to place the video relative to the text around it
Click the 'Design' button to return to the standard Dreamweaver view, then test your video.
