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.

Progress Bar TutorialIn Feburary 2016 26,
In Feburary 2016 26,
As an operation proceeds, the code continuously reads how much is completed and calculates the status. If the Minimum value is set to one and the Maximum to 100, the bar will fill half the bar display when 50 percent of the operation is completed. To perform this calculation, the programmer must know how long the operation will take. As an example, if the user is downloading a five MB file, by the time 2.5 MB have downloaded, the bar will have moved halfway across.
Create a Progress Bar
Start by creating a new project after opening Visual Basic. Click on 'File,' 'New Project' and select the 'Standard EXE' format. Add the ProgressBar control by clicking on 'Project,' 'Components.' Find the Microsoft Windows Common Controls in the list. Choose the Microsoft Visual Basic Common Controls (SP6) by placing a checkmark in the box next to the control. Click on 'Apply' and 'OK.' You should see the control in the list in the left panel. Double click on this to add it to the form.
Set the Properties
If working with an operation where the percentage of completion is easy to calculate like a file download, set the Minimum property in the Properties panel to '1' and the maximum to '100.' Another way to set the maximum is to have the code count the number of iterations of some operation, compare this to the total number, and calculate where the bar should be. Height and Left properties control the height of the bar itself and where it appears from the left of the screen. Only two other properties matter: Whether the bar runs across the screen vertically or horizontally and whether incremental chunks appear or the bar is smoother. Choose these from the 'Orientation' and 'Scrolling Properties.' If the maximum cannot be predetermined, it is possible to use an Animation control to keep the bar moving until the operation completes. This enhancement goes beyond the level of this tutorial. Since the bar should not appear until an operation commences, set the Visible property to 'False.' For this example, set the Maximum property to '10000' and leave the Minimum at '0.' Finally, add a Command Button control from the Tools list to the form to initiate action. Change the (Name) property to 'btnStart' and the Caption to 'Start.'
Write the Code
Click on 'View,' 'Code' to open the programming window. Type the lines below exactly as shown. The first three lines load the form and make the Progress Bar visible. The rest of the code runs through a repetitive sequence to demonstrate the bar. The end number in this code is set very high to slow the Progress Bar down for visibility. Replace the steps in the second section beginning with 'Private Sub btnStart_Click() and ending 'End Sub' with whatever event you are timing to get a new ProgressBar1.Value. Always add a command to change the visibility of the bar to 'False' when the routine finishes.Private Sub Form_Load()
ProgressBar1.Visible = True
End SubPrivate Sub btnStart_Click()
Dim n As Integer
For n = 1 To 10000
ProgressBar1.Value = n
Next n
End SubTest the code by pressing the 'F5' key.
Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition Version
In the Visual Basic 2008, substitute the following lines for the lines beginning Private Sub:Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal eventSender As System.Object, ByVal eventArgs As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Private Sub btnStart_Click(ByVal eventSender As System.Object, ByVal eventArgs As System.EventArgs) Handles btnStart.Click

How to Remove a Parked DomainIn Feburary 2016 21,
In Feburary 2016 21,
Upload a website to the domain's hosting account. The parked domain page may disappear as soon as the owner's own information is added to the domain.
Delete the parked domain page on the server. Log in to the domain's hosting account and physically delete the parked page that was provided by the web host. Access the list of files by using an FTP program, such as one provided to you by the web host, or a free one that must be downloaded, such as FileZilla. Navigate to the 'index.html' file, right-click and choose to 'Delete.' This step is often necessary if the server is automatically set to run an HTML page over other extension types. In this case, even uploading a new 'Index' page with a PHP extension will not override the parked page until it has been deleted.
Change the parked domain's settings in the domain control panel. Log in and choose to turn off the domain parking. The action will vary depending on the domain provider. Navigate to a 'Manage Domains' section and click a button to 'Remove Domain Parking' or to 'Activate Domain.'
Choose to forward the domain name to another website and domain. Forwarding or masking will activate the domain instead of placing it in parked mode. Log in to the 'Manage Domains' menu and select the option to 'Forward.' Enter the domain you would like to forward it to and save.

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.

How to Setup a DNS ServerIn Feburary 2016 17,
In Feburary 2016 17,
Install the DNS server software. If the local network is running Windows, install Microsoft DNS software for the best integration.
Input a list of DNS servers, 'forwarders' that can be used to retrieve DNS information, into the software. Two or three forwarders are sufficient.
Set up security policies to restrict or allow access to the DNS server. Bandwidth will be used up quickly if numerous Internet users have access to the DNS server.
If the DNS server will be serving a domain, set up the DNS for that domain. Input the 'A' (address) records, 'MX' (mail exchange) records and any other required DNS records.
If the DNS server will be serving a domain, have that domain's registrar delegate to the DNS server. This can often be done on the domain registrar's website.
