BMW has a habit of underrating their cars' official power and performance figures. This trend continues with the F10 M5 which is officially listed as achieving 0-62mph in 4.4 seconds, but has now been tested by Car and Driver as hitting 60mph in just 3.7 seconds! It also covers the quarter mile in 12.0 seconds at 122mph [from the C&D December 2011 issue].
Compare this to the 2009 E63 AMG, with which C&D achieved a 0-60mph of 4.0 seconds and quarter mile of 12.5 seconds at 115mph. … CONTINUED
The 2012 M5 (F10) will come in a fairly extensive choice of colors, including some beautiful individual exterior color options. One of the individual exterior color options is Brilliant White Metallic, which we've spotted hanging out at BMW M HQ in Garching, Germany.
Besides the individual brilliant white metallic exterior paint, the this M5 also has other individual options, such as the black painted mirrors and wheels. The red leather interior looks great set off against the white and black exterior color scheme.
As for not having blue … CONTINUED
We've compiled the following gallery of new renders, past spy photos, and samples from other BMW models to give you an idea of what the color palette will look like on the 2012 F10 M5. This will hopefully help our future F10 M5 owner members decide on the color for their new M5.
As we posted about recently, the F10 M5 exterior color palette will include:
The exterior colors are as follows:
Alpine White
Black Sapphire Metallic
What most folks have not realized so far are the extensive modifications BMW has made to the F10 M5 engine. We point those out for you below, referencing BMW's released info. Compared to the S85 engine of the E60 M5, BMW claims that "VALVETRONIC has also sharpened the responsiveness of this engine [S63Tü].
Here are the highlights of the new M5′s S63Tu engine and how it's different from the S63 engine used for the X5 M and X6 M.
Two more innovations of the S63Tü:
- Innovative solenoid … CONTINUED
The new 2012 BMW M5 will be priced at EUR 102,700 in Germany. For comparison, the last price for the E60 M5 (Sep 2010) was EUR 94,700 which means a price increase of roughly 8.5%.
Earlier this week, BMW announced the price for the UK at £73,040 for UK buyers. The last UK price for the E60 M5 was £67,300 which also tranlsates to a price increase of 8.5%.
Applying the same increase of 8.5% to the last US price (2010 M5) of $85,700, the new BMW M5 … CONTINUED
BMW has published official photos and information on the new BMW M5 (F10) last week, and today we're happy to share the very first video of the fully unveiled production M5 in action! Check it out inside.
The online visualizer for the F10 M5 has been online since Thursday, and the German F10 M5 Catalog is now available for download. Together they reveals the range of exterior and interior color options, as well as visual previews of the colors. We list them (and provide some examples) inside.
The exterior colors are as follows:
Alpine White
Monte Carlo Blue
Black Sapphire Metallic
Singapore Gray
After BMW released their initial set of images for the new M5, we were sure another set would become available with beautiful scenery and high action. Well, I woke up this morning with a pleasant surprise. BMW has really outdone itself with this set of wallpapers, if you want a beautiful desktop image, this is it!
We've stacked the F10 M5 up against the E63 AMG and CTS-V, but there are other cars in the segment which warrant further comparison, namely the Porsche Panamera Turbo/S and the Jaguar XF-R.
This comparison covers cars from a wide range of prices – from $80,000 to $173,000, but on paper the performance specs and owner demographics are close enough to compare. Again, the real tests will come from test drives, reviews, and direct comparos of the M5 against its rivals.
Now that the Official F10 M5 Production stats and specs have been revealed, the natural question is how it compares to its most direct competitors. We undertake this comparison below, with a photo and specs shootout against two of the M5′s biggest rivals — the 2012 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG and the 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Sedan.
As some might not know yet, Mercedes-Benz has recently announced the use of their new 5.5L twin turbo V8 for the E63 beginning this Fall. We've used this new engine's specs to … CONTINUED
BMW has a good habit of keeping its production vehicles very close to their concept forms. This holds true with the just revealed F10 M5 as well, which is extremely close to its concept form. The only visual difference we spot by sight is the sleeker/smaller mirrors which were not present on the concept M5 and the more aggressive sideskirts on the production M5. The wheels are simply a silver version of the gloss black wheels on the concept M5.
We've put together a set of comparison … CONTINUED
The official specs and full technical details on the F10 M5 have now been released. Our official F10 M5 information thread has now been updated with all technical specs, data, and media.
We have updated our F10 M5 info with a new set of hi-res wallpapers. Enjoy the views and download inside.
Presenting the first look at the official F10 M5 production model! These are leaked F10 M5 photos from AutoZeitung, a German publication.
The F10 M5 production is barely changed from the concept version, featuring the same exterior styling, except for more streamlined side view mirrors and more aggressive sideskirts on the production model, as we predicted.
The official press release and full set of photos will come early next week, followed by the public debut at the M Festival (next Thursday, June 23).

original size when unarchived
I have looked at:
This points to two SQL queries in:
If I use the second query:
SELECT A.ArchiveName, COUNT(S.IdTransaction) "Num. Items Archived", SUM(S.ItemSize)/1024 "Archived Items Size (MB)", SUM(SP.OriginalSize)/1024/1024 "Original Email Size (MB)" FROM EnterpriseVaultDirectory.dbo.Archive A, EnterpriseVaultDirectory.dbo.Root R, yourVaultStoreDB.dbo.ArchivePoint AP, yourVaultStoreDB.dbo.Saveset S, yourVaultStoreDB.dbo.SavesetProperty SP WHERE S.SavesetIdentity = SP.SavesetIdentity AND S.ArchivePointIdentity = AP.ArchivePointIdentity AND AP.ArchivePointId = R.VaultEntryId AND R.RootIdentity = A.RootIdentity AND A.ArchiveName = 'your User' GROUP BY A.ArchiveName
I says for my account:
Archived Items 1107MB
Original Email size 1095
If I look in Exchange System Manager (Exchange Server 2003), it says: 155,805MB
I don't get these figures. I can't see why the Archived Items amount is larger than the original size and also it doesn't match the size Exchange is telling me.
In short; I would like to have a report that gives me the archived size in EV(so 'compressed') and what size it would take if we would export all EV archives to their original mailboxes.
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Information in Exchange System Manager is notoriously inaccurate.
The original size can be smaller or larger than the archived size because sometimes the shortcut to an item is actually a few KB bigger than the item it is replacing (it's why sometimes items aren't archived below a certain size)
just to add to this, if you have a simple item that says something like
"Hello", well theres not much there in that email message, but EV still has to convert it to html, add a bunch of user properties etc etc and that DVS file can be somewhat larger than the original email, because the original email won't have all of these EV Properties
The space savings really come from attachments as opposed to just a couple of lines of text

Mancala is a generic name for a family of sowing games that are popular all over the world. There are many two-player mancala games in which a player may move again if their move ends in their own store. In this work, we study a simple solitaire mancala game called Tchoukaillon that facilitates the analysis of "sweep" moves, in which all of the stones on a portion of the board can be collected into the store. We include a self-contained account of prior research on Tchoukaillon, as well as a new description of all winning Tchoukaillon boards with a given length. We also prove an analogue of the Chinese Remainder Theorem for Tchoukaillon boards, and give an algorithm to reconstruct a complete winning Tchoukaillon board from partial information. Finally, we propose a graph-theoretic generalization of Tchoukaillon for further study.

The complete list of pairs of non-isomorphic finite simple groups having the same order is well known. In particular, for $$p>3$$, $$PSL_{2}(\mathbb{Z}/p)$$ is the "only" simple group of order $$\frac{p^{3}-p}{2}$$. It's less well known that Frobenius proved this uniqueness result in 1902. This note presents a version of Frobenius' argument that might be used in an undergraduate honors algebra course. It also includes a short modern proof, aimed at the same audience, of the much earlier result that$$PSL_{2}(\mathbb{Z}/p)$$ is simple for $$p>3$$, a result stated by Galois in 1832.

The existence of an eigenvector and an eigenvalue of a linear operator on a complex vector space is proved in the spirit of Argand's proof of the fundamental theorem of algebra. The proof relies only on Weierstrass's theorem, the definition of the inverse of a linear operator, and algebraic identities.

Assume that $$A$$ is a bounded self-adjoint operator in a Hilbert space $$H$$. Then, the variational principle,

holds if and only if $$A\geq0$$; that is, if $$(Av,v)\geq0$$ for all $$v\in H$$. We define the left-hand side in $$(*)$$ to be zero if $$(Av,v)=0$$. As an application of this principle, a variational principle for the electrical capacitance of a conductor of an arbitrary shape is derived.

Nokia's N9 meeGo smartphone hits the FCC
Leaked pictures of Nokia's N9 meeGo-powered smartphone have been floating around the Internets for over a year, but today it looks like the device may be a bit closer to being a reality. The N9, also known as the RM-680, won FCC approval today, signaling that Nokia is planning to release the device in the near future.
FCC documents reveal that the N9 will feature broad GSM and WCDMA support, including support for GSM bands 850, 1900, 1800 and 1900, and WCDMA bands I, II, IV, V and VIII. That makes the device a good fit for either T-Mobile or AT&T in the United States. FCC test reports also confirm WiFi and Bluetooth support.
Unfortunately, external and internal FCC photos of the N9 will remain confidential until June. We do get a look at the N9's underside, however, thanks to the label pic, above. Those of you that have already seen Engadget's leaked pics of the N9 will recognize the distinctive shape of the N9's underside as shown in the label pic.
Nokia hasn't announced its plans for releasing the N9, nor do we have any pricing info. However, the FCC confidentiality of the N9 expires on June 24, 2011, suggesting that we may see the device before then.

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease expressed by a chronic, inflammatory disorder affecting the synovial membranes of multiple joints of the body. The inflamed joint lining, the synovium, can damage the bone and cartilage. The involved joint can lose its shape and alignment, resulting in pain and loss of movement. Rheumatoid arthritis is more common in women than in men. It is generally seen between the ages of 20 and 50. But it can also affect very young children and adults older than age 50. It has a number of special features that make it different from other kinds of arthritis. For example, rheumatoid arthritis usually occurs in a symmetrical pattern. This means that if one knee or hand is involved, the other one is also involved. The disease often affects the wrist joints and the finger joints closest to the hand. It can also affect other parts of the body besides the joints. Another feature of rheumatoid arthritis is that it varies a lot from person to person. For some people, it lasts only a few months or a year or two and goes away without causing any obvious damage. Other people have mild or moderate disease symptoms, with periodical variation. Still others have severe disease that is active most of the time, lasts for many years, and leads to serious joint damage and disability.
Causes of Rheumatoid Arthritis
The cause of rheumatoid arthritis is not yet known. It is known as an autoimmune disease, and most people have an inherited tendency for the disease. The disease itself is not inherited, but certain genes that build the susceptibility are inherited. People who have inherited these genes will not essentially develop rheumatoid arthritis. But they may have more of a tendency to do so than others. The severity of their disease may also depend on the genes inherited. Possible hormone deficiencies or changes in certain hormones may also promote the development of rheumatoid arthritis in a genetically susceptible person.
Common Symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Inflammation in one or more joints
- Generalized aching and stiffness of the joints especially after sleep or after rest
- Symmetrical pattern that is if one knee is affected, the other one is also affected
- Constant or recurring pain or tenderness in a joint
- Difficulty using or moving a joint normally
- Loss of strength in muscles attached to the affected joints
- Warmth and redness in a joint
- Low grade fever, fatigue, a general sense of not feeling well
- Deformity of the joints as time goes by
- Symptoms in other parts of the body besides the joint
Conventional treatment consists of anti-inflammatory drugs and corticosteroids. Although these give temporary relief, the body's requirements for these go on increasing. Long term use of these medicines can cause plenty of side-effects, whereas the use of homeopathic medication has no side effects as they are non-toxic and harmless. As in almost all cases of rheumatoid arthritis, if lowered immunity is the cause, constitutional homeopathic treatment will elevate the level of immunity leading to lasting results. It will also prevent further deterioration of your joints, and also very effectively, reduce the intensity, frequency and duration of the pain. The inflammation and stiffness will reduce and the degree of functioning and mobility of the joints will improve. Above all, it will improve a person's physical and mental sense of well being and ability to function. Homeopathy being an individualized therapy constitutional approach of homeopathy will free the patient from the continual dependency on allopathic drugs and gradually even stop the need of the drugs.

Ridgway Rotary club president Pat Brennan noted the Paul Harris fellowship is named for Paul Harris, founder of Rotary with three business associates in Chicago in 1905.
The fellowship was established in his honor in 1957 to express appreciation for a contribution of the humanitarian and education program of the Rotary International Foundation.
"Today we are privileged and honored to recognize not one but five of our membership as Paul Harris fellows," Brennan said.
A Johnsonburg man charged with 80 counts of possessing child pornography and 13 counts of sexual abuse of children, among other related offenses, is headed to trial with jury selection in the Commonwealth vs. Robert Gene Fitzgerald, 55, of Johnsonburg, scheduled for June.
In his affidavit, investigating officer David Cuneo of the Johnsonburg Police reports that on Dec. 17, 2011 he was dispatched to 307 Spruce St., the home of Laura Reffitt, in response to a report of identity theft.
At Monday's Return Day at the Elk County Courthouse in Ridgway, Jack Edward Hepler, 24, of Kersey, withdrew his previous plea of guilty to the charge of aggravated indecent assault, a second-degree felony.
The incident is alleged to have occurred while Hepler babysat the victim, his first cousin, as her parents were out of town for the evening.
In an interview with Trooper Matthew Higgins of the Ridgway-based state police on July 8, 2011, the alleged victim, with her parents present, related that on the night of the incident she was awoke in her bed with Hepler "on top of her."
FOX TWP. – DuBois Regional's St. Marys Community Medical Building will open officially on Monday, March 12. The 30,000 square-foot building, located in front of the Walmart on the Million Dollar Highway in Fox Township, will house a number of diagnostic services, including laboratory, diagnostic imaging, digital X-ray, ultrasound, breast care and digital mammography, bone density and electrocardiograms (EKGs), as well as several specialists and family and women's health practices.
ST. MARYS – The Elk County Solid Waste Authority is in the market for a yard ramp for use at their Community Recycling Center, located at the Stackpole Complex in St. Marys. The purchase of a ramp for under a cost of $10,000 was recently approved by the authority at their most recent meeting.
According to Recycling/Solid Waste Coordinator Bekki Titchner, a yard ramp is necessary because there is no room to install a loading dock at the recycling facility.
Lorrayne Cuthbert Fogg, age 85, of Millersville, passed away on Monday, March 5, 2012, at Hospice of Lancaster County in Mt. Joy.

Singapore: Solo Sunday dinner in Little India?
I am very excited to be heading for my first visit to Singapore tomorrow (and have been wondering how much eating I can pack in around my work commitments...).
I land in Changi at 5.30pm Sunday and am staying near our office in Chinatown (Anson Road). If the jetlag hasn't killed me, I'm hoping to head out for a solo dinner that night.
Here in Brussels, we get NO good Indian food--so I was thinking of heading to Little India. From C'hound commentary, the two restaurants that really intrigue me are Banana Leaf Apolo and Madras New Woodlands.
For those in the know, would one or the other be more tolerant of/welcoming to a solo, slightly disoriented diner? If you were said diner, to which would you go?
During my stay (four nights), I'm also hoping to get to at least a few of the classic "greatest hits." Would love any recent thoughts or re-direction on any of these:
--Chicken rice at Maxwell Food Centre
--Xiao long bao at Crystal Jade or China La Mian in Smith St. Food Centre
--Chili crab at No Signboard in Geylang
--Char kuey teow (not sure where)
--Fish-head curry (not sure where)
--Roti prata (not sure where--the only solid rec I have is for a place out on East Coast Highway; would love something close to Chinatown, where work will keep me)
I think there's a work lunch lined up at The Blue Ginger, so I'm hoping to try their ayam buah keluak.
You could do your fish head curry in Little India at Muthus, which would be the other place I would add to your shortlist. I have never had a problem as a solo diner anywhere in the Indian belt, but service is not always fantastic for anyonbe
Hi Kelly, welcome to Singapore!
Both Banana Leaf Apolo and Madras New Woodlands can take solo diners. Fish-head curry is the main thing at the former (portions are big - you can get other cuts as a solo diner but to my mind not as fresh or good as the fish head), the latter is all vegetarian (thosai and the like) so it really depends on what you feel like having. Location-wise, Banana Leaf Apolo feels that little bit safer to me than Madras New Woodlands, especially for ladies. Singapore also offers a fairly wide variety of Indian food from different regions (Bengal, Kerala / Goa..) that may be worth a try if you can't get any good Indian food at all in Brussels (alas!). Gajalee's at Esplanade is one convenient option.
Other quick answers:
--Chicken rice at Maxwell Food Centre >> Tian Tian still ok. Other recs on this board for Maxwell also still relevant.
--Chili crab at No Signboard in Geylang >> their salted egg yolk crab is better than their chili crab, which is not in my mind a good representative of what chili crab should be. Seafood Paradise or Jumbo would be better, although generally chili crab standard in Sgp is not as good as it used to be.
--Char kuey teow >> Hong Lim hawker centre
--Fish-head curry >> Well you've got Banana Leaf Apolo up there. :) Although since you're at Anson Rd I would definitely recommend Ocean at lunchtime (ask your colleagues as I'm sure they'll know)
--Roti prata >> Anson Rd area is not the best for roti prata, but there are a few places around Telok Ayer St (including Gayatri) that are passable, or Akbar (24H, at 2 Lim Teck Kim Road). Must be freshly made or it won't be that good.
Also near Anson Road, good lunchtime options:)
-- Eng Kee at Enggor Street for roast meats (ask for fatty char siew)
-- Amoy Street hawker centre (Hoo Kee dumpling, Piao Ji fish soup)
-- Teppei (get the off-menu chirashi-don)
Lines at the first three are usually long so get there before noon if you can. Enjoy!

Take a look at the new PRGR Egg 7 degree driver. Hit's it higher than a buddy of mines 9.5 by messing with the shaft the face depth and other factors I dont see why they can't produce a 10.5* head thats super duper low.

It's my opinion that there would considerable distance loss decreasing your club length by 3-4 inches.
It would be different if they could increase the cor, but they can't if they want it to conform.

ive been micking around with higher launch driver heads recently and as memtioned the pairing of the real low spin shafts in these heads ive found a reallynice balance i get a mid highish flight but its a good flight the ball popps off the face and the face at address looks a lot more friendly than a. 9'
the cpl thap sprimg to mind are the solid contacts and the yamaha tour
the more lofted faces tend to give me a more secure feeling dont tgink im gonna missthem catastophically like an8.5

there are plenty of people who play their 3 wood instead of driver, met a few and they always say that its because the distance for them is roughly equal on average between the two but 3 wood is more reliable. think about this for minute. people hit a smaller size, much worse COR club and get roughly the same distance and more reliable accuracy. granted that can be for variety of reasons but you give them a reasonably forgiving high COR driver head on a shorter stick similar length to their 3 wood and they just might wanna buy it.
maybe its a typo and maybe its too extreme and maybe they are not doing it but i was hoping that in addition smaller heads trend among manufacturers theres gonna be shorter shaft trend coming and not just cutting shafts to shorter length but also designing clubheads that should work better with shorter shaft length. its ridiculous that manufacturers sell longer stock drivers to general public while even tour players whos ability to hit consistently is ways higher and who play on super manicured courses with practically no real rough still prefer to play shorter length. how is that logical ?!
Ok, perhaps not against all logic, but certainly against the grain, where the trend as of late has been toward longer and longer drivers. The blurb on better energy transfer and consistency at shorter lengths is certainly true. But I think most people can make decent contact with a controlled swing, especially with how forgiving game improvement clubs are these days. It's my opinion that there would considerable distance loss decreasing your club length by 3-4 inches.

This is a compact deep faced head, and if the COG is really high 10.5 is probably smart in order to be able to launch the head at all. The added loft will give some extra forgivness and coupled with a (supposedly) high COG it can be a terrific driver. One thing Im slightly surprised about though is the face material..Havent we learned and been told that 6-4 ti is a budget s**t metal and only DAT 55, 56, SP700 or that special Endo Ti that I cant remember the name of right now is good enough in a super premium head? 6-4 is what all budget heads use.
6-4ti is not very expensive. But this I assume like all of Epon's clubs will be Forged Ti not cast and made in Japan. We will see what their logic is behind this.

|Australian Journal of Educational Technology
1994, 10(2), 119-127.
Visual Basic and ToolBook are powerful environments for developing software, and both support multimedia applications. This paper compares the capabilities of these systems for developing interactive audio applications, and finds that, as always, there are trade-offs to consider. ToolBook provides an environment more akin to that of an authoring system, but is not as parsimonious as Visual Basic when it comes to preparing executable files for distribution to users.
One of the exciting promises of multimedia is that it can allow us to develop substitutes for old media which are easier to use, and in certain cases, of better quality.
Take language learning aids, for example. An important, ever-present aspect of getting up to speed in a new language involves vocabulary building and pronunciation practice. To meet these goals language learners have often turned to flip cards and audio tapes.
Flip cards are usually small, being not much larger shall a standard business card. They have a word or phrase printed on one side, in one language, and have the same word or phrase printed on the other side, in another language. They're convenient and easy to carry around, but they provide absolutely no help when it comes to pronunciation.
Enter audio tapes. They are also convenient, and easy to carry even when we have to lug around a playback unit as well. But they have no automatically synchronised textual display of the words or phrases being pronounced on the tape.
The marriage of these media has been juggled by users for years. We get out our pack of flip cards, the audio tape which corresponds to the vocabulary items on the flip cards, plug the tape into the playback unit, and away we go. The tape rolls through the cards one by one, and we listen diligently through our head phones as we flip through the cards in synchronisation.
But there are problems. What happens when we want to replay a word? Rewind the tape? Yes, but this is an inexact process - we'll wind too far, or not far enough. What happens when we have mastered all but a small core of the flip cards? We can extract this core of cards from the pack, and run with a sub-pack But we can't do the same with the tape.
Enter multimedia. We'll use software to develop 'stacks' of flip cards. On clicking a card, the user will see it flip to its other side, and will simultaneously hear a native speaker as she, or he, pronounces the word or phrase found on the 'foreign language' side of the card. The card may be played again, or dismissed in favour of the next one. Cards which have been mastered can be ticked, and shuffled off to an inactive stack.
Sounds good, and in fact it is. But savvy readers will ask about the resources needed to put together such a blend of media, and about the equipment required for playback. Our DEET [1] funded 'Talk Project' at Curtin University (Nelson, 1993, 1994) has looked into such questions. We have standardised on a Visual Basic-based development system which lets us put out a new list of words or phrases in about a day, with everything fitting onto a single 1.44 megabyte floppy diskette. Along the way we looked at an alternative to Visual Basic, ToolBook. Below I mention some of the matters to consider when deciding which of these two systems to apply [2].
There are two methods which may be used in Visual Basic for developing applications which play back pre-recorded audio files. One involves the use of a Visual Basic MCI [3] control; the other sets up a Visual Basic function which asks a standard Windows DLL [4] for access to playback services.
Using an MCI control under Visual Basic requires the presence of a utility file known as MCI.VBX. Visual Basic eXtension (VBX) files first appeared with Version 2.0, where they were distributed as part of a professional tool kit, and only partially supported by Microsoft. In the third edition of Visual Basic, Microsoft released both standard and professional versions; the latter includes a library of VBX files which are fully supported by Microsoft.
Visual Basic has a floating tool bar from which users select and paste the controls they want to use. Developers have the ability to add and subtract icons from these bars so that they are tailored to local needs.
Selecting the MCI icon from a Visual Basic tool bar
and then pasting to a Visual Basic form (corresponding to pasting to a "page" in ToolBook) produces the following control on screen:
The nine buttons on this control typify the actions we commonly associate with media device control panels: previous, next, play, pause, back, step, stop, record, and eject. The number of these buttons which appear in design mode can be set by the user, and the entire control can be hidden at run time if developers prefer to design their own media interface.
Once an MCI control has been pasted to a Visual Basic form, code such as the following can be used to play an audio clip:
Most of our 'Talk' lessons provide recording facilities as well as playback; these allow users to record their own voice, and to aurally compare their pronunciation with that of a native speaker's. The Visual Basic instruction which directs the MCI control to open up a microphone for users to speak into is:Let MMControl.DeviceType = "WaveAudio" Let MMControl.FileName="c:\library\indo\male\selamat1.wav" MMControl.Command = "Open" MMControl.Command = "Play"
Many times a developer will want her or his software to suspend execution until a media clip has completed playing. For Visual Basic MCI controls, the appropriate command is "Wait".MMControl.Command = "Record"
The use of an MCI control in Visual Basic is an easy and powerful way to develop audio applications. A potential disadvantage relates to having to include MCI.VBX in the suite of run-time files which are distributed to users; this potential limitation is further discussed later.
Adequate instructions for using this function may be found in one of the Microsoft collections of technical articles [6]. When the function has been properly defined in a global Visual Basic module, or in a form's general declarations section, statements such as the following may then be employed:
These lines of code will play the nominated file, and pause the execution of any following statements until the sound has finished playing.Let SoundFileName$ = "c:\library\indo\male\selamatl.wav" wFlags% = SND_SYNC x% = sndPlaySound(SoundFileName$, wFlags%)
In contrast to controlling sound playback via the MCI Visual Basic control, the sndPlaySound function does not require that an extra file, MCI.VBX, be distributed with run-time modules. We have used sndPlaySound in a number of projects without problem; its disadvantage is that there is no similar way of recording sound - the MMSystem DLL does not yet have a sndRecordSound function.
The multimedia extensions to ToolBook appeared in 1991. They make access to Windows MCI controls a bit more straightforward than they are under Visual Basic. Whereas Visual Basic requires an 'MMControl' to be pasted onto a form, Multimedia ToolBook's MCI support comes ready to roll. One can, for example, slap down an ordinary ToolBook button, and then write a 'buttonDown handler' which might include the following code:
These lines of code will play the indicated wave file, and pause the execution of any following code until the sound has finished playing.Set SoundFileName to "c:\library\indo\male\selamat1.wav" Get tbkMCl("open" && SoundFileName &&"alias waveFile", "") Get tbkMCI("play waveFile wait", "")
As is the case with Visual Basic, the library of tbkMCI functions includes one which allows audio recording from within an application:
In Version 3.0 of Multimedia ToolBook, released in Australia in mid-1994, MCI functions are accessed much as above, except that calls to tbkMCI() functions are replaced by using callMCI() functions. The new callMCI() functions are native to ToolBook 3.0's version of "OpenScript", Asymetrix's programming language; in Version 1.5, use of tbkMCI() functions in OpenScript required an explicit link to Windows MCI support via use of the TBKMM.SBK system book.Get tbkMCI("record waveFile","")
In Visual Basic the MCI.VBX file is required if MCI commands are used; in Multimedia ToolBook 1.5 the corresponding file is TBKMM.DLL, while in Multimedia ToolBook 3.0 the file is MTB30MM.DLL. Using TBKMM.DLL in Version 1.5 of ToolBook also requires linking in the TBKMM.SBK file mentioned above.
The manner in which ToolBook can be made to work with MMSystem varies depending on whether one is using ToolBook 1.5, or ToolBook 3.0. In the earlier version it is necessary to expressly link the DLL via a handler containing a linkDLL definition. Once the link has been established, and the sndPlaySound function declared in a global module such as enterBook or enterPage, the function is then used as if it were a natural part of OpenScript's lexicon. (In fact we have to date not done this, but the documentation is readily available in ToolBook's on-line help, where the best citation is found under the linkDLL topic. Also see Pierce, 1990).
In ToolBook 3.0 there is no need to specifically link MMSystem.DLL in order to gain access to the sndPlaySound function. The latest version of OpenScript includes the playSound() function which is passed the name of the WAV file to play, plus a control word indicating whether or not execution is to be suspended until the sound finishes. ToolBook 3.0 documentation suggests that this function "works best with files less than 100 kB in size" [7]. We have used the function, but have not rigorously tested the suggested limit as all but a very small minority of our language voice clips are comfortably within 100 kB; this limit, incidentally, corresponds to about four and a half seconds of 8-bit, 22k Hz monaural audio, and to about nine seconds of 8-bit, 11 kHz monaural audio.
For developing applications with audio files, the mmCommands are easier to use than corresponding callMCI() functions simply because they have the format of a primitive; however, they cannot be used to record audio, ie., there is no mmRecord command.
A general comment about the multimedia appearance of ToolBook 3.0 may be of interest to some readers: there is enhanced support for using media clips of all sorts. The 'Stage' object is a useful one, considerably facilitating the work involved in rolling visual clips, particularly when compared with the corresponding effort which can be required in Visual Basic and ToolBook 1.5.
The new version of ToolBook also supports clip libraries, and has a clip manager, pictured below.
I have used the 'Sound Finder' tutility bundled with the Microsoft Sound System to catalogue and manage hundreds of audio clips; it works well. The new somewhat similar facilities for working with clip libraries from within the ToolBook 3.0 environment itself are likely to appeal to many developers. These facilities are not as comprehensive as they might be - they do not permit extensive documentation to be associated with a clip, nor do they provide technical details about the format of the clip's recording - but they are nonetheless a worthy step forward as they make it easier to pre-load, cue, and manage the variety of media files which an application might use.
ToolBook 3.0 adds new support for the use of audio clips; these represent an advantage for developers - the new integrated features give the sense of a system especially designed to support the needs of multimedia users, as opposed to one wherein multimedia support is patched in through external functions and utilities.
ToolBook and Visual Basic do not require the use of MCI controls to play back sound. Both systems can link into MMSystem.DLL to access the sndPlaySound function. The advantage of this approach to playing sound is that extra files such as MCI.VBX and MMTBK.DLL need not be distributed with applications.
Visual Basic and ToolBook developers who want their software to permit on-line recording of sound must use MCI calls. There is no recording function in MMSystem.DLL equivalent to sndPlaySound, and the new mmCommands in ToolBook 3.0 do not support recording.
ToolBook 1.5 does not have a capability for converting a book to an EXE file; instead one distributes the original book along with 'Runtime ToolBook', TBook.EXE, plus three support library files: TBKComp.DLL, TBKUtil.DLL, and TBKBase.DLL. These four files have respective sizes of 396 kB, 105 kB, 59 kB, and 354 kB, which sum to a collective 900 kB. If MCI commands are used, TBLMM.DLL and TBKMM.SBK must be added in, at 18 kB and 24 kB respectively.
Multimedia ToolBook 3.0 permits a book to be compiled to an EXE form, but this is more properly seen as a bootstrap code module, not a true executable. The resultant EXE file must be supported by the new Runtime Multimedia ToolBook system, which as a minimum consists of 14 files with a total size of more than 2,600 kbytes (more than 2.6 megabytes).
The run-time differences between Visual Basic and ToolBook 1.5 are pronounced, with ToolBook 1.5's support files taking more than double the space required by Visual Basic. Multimedia ToolBook 3.0 substantially exacerbates the imbalance, extending the disparity to a factor of five.
As attractive as the multimedia support in the latest version of ToolBook is, our own interactive audio work would be quite encumbered if it had to carry along the excess baggage of Runtime Multimedia ToolBook 3.0. We have been able to package interactive "Talk" lessonettes on a single 1.44 MB floppy disk, having as many as 40 simple flip cards, or 18 short phrases or sentences, with both male and female native speakers, and record as well as playback facilities. We have used Visual Basic 2.0 for this, and can fit the compiled EXE file, VBRun200.DLL, MCI.VBX, and all lesson material (including the WAV files) on one floppy diskette, and still have room for a setup program which will install the lesson on the user's hard disk. In fact, our lessons will actually run from floppy disk, users sacrifice some speed when running from a floppy, but not as much as some readers might suspect.
The latest multimedia version of ToolBook, Multimedia ToolBook 3.0, has substantially superior support for creating audio applications, providing developers with more tools, and a more professional environment, but at cost: the run-time system associated with the new ToolBook consists of more than a dozen files, and occupies more than two and a half megabytes of disk space.
Much of our work has involved developing applications which are used by teachers and students on stand-alone personal systems, often situated on a desk in their homes. Using Visual Basic as our development and delivery system has allowed us to produce software which requires a minimum of support files, easing the work involved when it comes to the distribution and installation of our programs.
The improved authoring tools found in Multimedia ToolBook 3.0 are very attractive; there is no doubt that they will be comfortable to work with. However, most of our "clients" are unlikely to have ToolBook installed on their machines. Were we to switch our development work to ToolBook we might find it easier to produce systems, but the plethora of files required by Runtime Multimedia ToolBook would greatly increase the complexity of system distri bution and installation. I expect most of our Windows-based work will continue to be built on Visual Basic, at least until CD ROM drives are truly pervasive within our target audience.

SADD Anniversary Gala
SADD Gala Slideshow
The Center for Adolescent Research and Education (CARE) at Susquehanna University was announced at the JFK Library in Boston on Dec.1, during a gala held by Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD).
CARE at Susquehanna University Formally Unveiled at JFK Library in Boston
Susquehanna University announced the opening of its new Center for Adolescent Research and Education (CARE) at a gala event Dec. 1 at the John Fitzgerald Kennedy Library and Museum in Boston. The Friends for Life Inaugural Gala celebrated the 30th anniversary of Boston-based Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) and marked the achievements of departing board chairman and CEO Stephen Wallace, who will serve as director of CARE at Susquehanna University.
L. Jay Lemons, Susquehanna's president, served as honorary co-chair of the event, which celebrated Wallace's 15 years of service to youth and families through SADD (formerly Students Against Driving Drunk), the nation's leading youth-based, peer-to-peer education, prevention and activism organization. Author and medical journalist Jeanne Blake served as mistress of ceremonies, with speakers including SADD Board Chairman Danna Mauch and SADD Executive Director Penny Wells. Some 225 people attended the dinner and awards presentation, including students who are members of SADD chapters in their schools.
Addressing the guests, Lemons said, "Susquehanna is pleased to collaborate with Stephen on this new venture, because it is consistent with the university's commitment to academic inquiry and research. It is our expectation that the work of the center will provide an important resource for families, schools and communities, not just regionally but nationally.
"With the passion, experience and knowledge that Stephen brings to his work, and the academic contributions of Susquehanna University, the center holds great promise."
A portion of event proceeds will help fund future CARE at Susquehanna University research. Operating under Wallace, a 1981 Susquehanna graduate, the center will study factors in teen attitudes, behaviors and decision-making. In addition to his work with SADD, Wallace brings three decades of work as a school psychologist, adolescent counselor, researcher, author and motivational speaker to his new position.

LONDON (TrustLaw) - Britain's chief prosecutor has launched an action plan to tackle the country's failure to try anyone for the crime of female genital mutilation (FGM), even though it was outlawed nearly 30 years ago.
The government says around 24,000 girls living in Britain are thought to be at risk of FGM – a practice that can cause serious physical and psychological problems.
"It's critical that everything possible is done to ensure we bring the people who commit these offences against young girls and women to justice and this action plan is a major step in the right direction," said Director of Public Prosecutions Keir Starmer.
"I am determined that the CPS (Crown Prosecution Service) should play a key role in ensuring that the impunity with which these offenders have acted will end."
The 10-point action plan includes identifying what issues have hindered investigations and prosecutions in the past, examining how other countries have prosecuted FGM cases and considering whether the law needs to be reviewed.
Starmer will also discuss with government ministers what duties medical professionals, social care professionals and teachers have to refer possible FGM cases to the police.
Campaigners against FGM have said Britain is seen as a soft touch and believe one or two prosecutions would have a powerful preventative effect.
France, Kenya and Burkina Faso are among countries that have secured convictions in FGM cases.
In Britain, FGM is practiced by communities originating from countries including Somalia, Eritrea, Sudan, Egypt and Sierra Leone. In its most extreme form, all external genitalia are removed and the vaginal opening is closed.
Parents say it is an important rite that gives their daughter social status and is the gateway to marriage. Many also believe it is a religious requirement.
A major problem for police and prosecutors is that it is very unlikely a girl will report her parents to the police for carrying out FGM or be willing to testify against them in court. It is also hard to gather evidence for offences carried out a long time ago or abroad.
The police have only referred three cases to the prosecution service, but none of them could go to court because of evidence problems.
Unusually, the CPS will begin working closely with police on all cases of FGM from the start of investigations. Normally, the police refer a case to the CPS once they believe they have appropriate evidence for a trial.
Legal experts will also explore whether FGM offences could be prosecuted under legislation other than the FGM act.
In particular, they may consider whether parents could be prosecuted for allowing a child to suffer physical harm, which is an offence under the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act.
The plan, announced on Friday, has been agreed between prosecutors, police, government departments, child protection specialists and medical professionals.
FGM was first made illegal in 1985. The Female Genital Mutilation Act 2003 also made it an offence to take a girl abroad for FGM or to procure the carrying out of FGM abroad.
