For information how to use and install libraries, see our tutorial! Then check out the examples for how to use it.
This library pretty much requires a '328 Arduino, see our upgrade tutorial if you have a '168 Arduino.
This library is no longer supported, but I'm keeping it here for history sake - please use only WaveHC above!
Download the latest library here (currently: Feb 18, 2008 which now supports the 328P and arduino v13 under mac and windows & probably linux).
Before you try to play audio, you'll want to free up some Arduino RAM, so that you don't end up with a nasty stack-overflow. Follow these instructions on how to get more RAM by reducing the input Serial library buffer.
The library is based off of Roland Riegel's AVR FAT16 code, but pared down quite a bit to reduce flash and RAM usage. There are also some strange optimizations to make it play audio better.
If you need some audio to test with, here is a synthesized voice saying "Hello world."
Here is the collection of numbers for the pispeak example!

Have you ever encountered a situation when you have to fill in a large number of addresses of Leads, Contacts or Accounts? An annoying process, isn’t it? The majority of salespeople hate typing every single address manually. EspoCRM provides functionality that allows populating the needed address forms from the autocomplete address lists, which will improve both the salesperson experience and sales performance.
In order to configure the address format and address autocomplete lists of countries and cities, navigate to Administration > Settings. At the bottom of the Locale section, we can find the address configurations. First of all, let’s choose the address format for our system. There are 4 types of address formats and the final appearance of the address will be shown next to the address format field in the Address Preview section.
Then let’s try to fill in the Address Country Autocomplete List and the Address City Autocomplete List. If our company works with 3 countries (e.g. the USA, Germany and Italy) and accordingly with 3 cities (e.g. New York, Berlin and Rome), we need to enter them in our lists. To add a country or a city to the list, just type the name of the country or city in the corresponding fields and press Enter. When all the configurations are made, press Save button.
Now, let’s check how it all works and try to add the address to the Lead record for the illustrating purposes. We navigate to Leads, select for example Jane Smith and start editing the Address field. So, when we try to fill in the country field, we can see the list of countries that we’ve added previously, so there is no need to type them manually. The same thing is with the names of the cities.
Hope the information was useful for you! Thanks for paying attention!

Production will likely vary in the BC/Boreal Region, where most waterfowl species have arrived or passed through. Recent rains have improved conditions in much of the Prairie Region, particularly in Alberta.
Birds are well into nesting in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and early broods are already being reported. The nesting season also started early in Eastern Canada, where habitat conditions remain good overall.
Late spring was relatively cool, and snow is still present at higher elevations along the coast. Wetlands are mostly full and overflowing, particularly those with a river source, and many agricultural fields and pastures have been flooded.
The breeding season is progressing as usual, with the exception of a couple of species (e.g., the normal pulse of northern shovelers was delayed by a couple of weeks). Later-nesting species have started to arrive. Pair numbers are good, and production should be average.
In the southern Interior, conditions are still dry relative to the historic average. Many high-value wetlands have low water levels due to below-average runoff. Breeding effort appears to be close to normal compared to recent years, although pair distribution is more concentrated on permanent wetlands. Some Canada geese and mallards have broods. In general, the production forecast is average and slightly better than last year.
In the southeast Interior, snow conditions and runoff were above normal this winter. Wetland conditions and production should be better than average.
Spring has been cool and wet in the Peace region, where runoff was below normal due to a lack of winter snow. Wetlands are still dry relative to the historic average. Uplands are in good condition, although some agricultural crops will be delayed by spring rains. Breeding effort appears to be typical compared to recent years, but is likely depressed compared to the long-term average. This may translate into lower production overall.
Many Canada geese, scaups, scoters, green-winged teal, mallards and some swans have been observed in the Yukon, which has received above-normal precipitation.
Things are warming up in the Northwest Territories, although ice is still present on larger bodies of water. Most waterfowl species have arrived or are passing through.
All birds have returned in good numbers to northern portions of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The Peace River received over 36 mm of rain over two days. May rainfall has improved habitat conditions in parts of northern Saskatchewan. In Manitoba, The Pas area has had above-normal precipitation for the month. Water conditions are good, and some lakes are above normal. Early-nesting species are well into the season, and groups of male mallards are a common sight.
Recent rainfall has improved habitat conditions in most areas of the province. Conditions are now generally rated as fair to good. Upland nesting conditions are also good.
A strong breeding effort is under way, and all species are displaying breeding behavior. Lone drakes and bachelor groups of mallards are common, as are male pintails in the Prairie region. Canada geese are hatching, and broods are being reported throughout the province. The first duck broods are also starting to appear.
The outlook for production is average to above average as long as there is sufficient moisture to maintain wetland habitats. Semi-permanent wetlands are currently in good condition, and breeding duck populations appear to be higher than they were in 2011.
With virtually all agricultural areas receiving above-average precipitation in April and May, habitat conditions have continued to improve. In several areas, spring rains have even increased the number of ephemeral and temporary ponds. Many semi-permanent and permanent wetlands are flooded beyond emergent vegetation and even beyond willow/aspen rings. These high water levels are ideal for divers looking for overwater nesting sites in flooded cattail and bulrush.
Most species of ducks are now well into nesting, and some early broods are already being reported. Canada goose broods have been observed regularly since mid May. The majority of staging arctic geese have now moved north to their breeding grounds, with some flocks of white-fronted geese and snow geese still migrating in late May.
Seeding operations are being completed at the usual pace, although wet field conditions have farmers behind schedule in east-central areas. Above-average spring moisture has created excellent hayland and pasture conditions.
It will likely be a good waterfowl production year. Eastern portions of the Killarney landscape have received the least amount of rainfall, while accumulations have been greatest in the northwest range of the Minnedosa/Shoal Lake pothole region.
Despite recent rainfall, individual wetland conditions still vary depending on how they were affected by last year’s major spring flood event. Semi-permanent wetlands, as well as those lower in the watershed, are in much better shape than temporary and seasonal basins or wetlands that experienced less overland flood effects in 2011.
Temperatures have remained favorable since the spring thaw, which will bode well for early-nesting birds. The presence of grouped drake mallards, as well as lone males of later-nesting species (e.g., shoveler and gadwall) indicates good initial nesting for most dabbling species. Lone drake blue-winged teal have been particularly abundant recently, which indicates an excellent initial nesting attempt by this species.
Prospects are not as clear for diving species (e.g., canvasback and redhead) in eastern areas where wetland conditions are not as favorable for overwater nesters. Canada goose nesting was successful and broods are currently abundant.
Winter wheat and natural grasslands are growing well, which is providing good nesting cover. Spring seeding is largely complete in the eastern Killarney region.
Earlier this year, there were concerns about breeding habitat throughout the province (especially in the south) due to a lack of snowpack and warm temperatures. However, significant April and May rains have resulted in good conditions for breeding waterfowl and early-hatching broods. The exception to this is southwestern Ontario, much of which received 50 percent of normal precipitation amounts. This has resulted in low water-level alerts, as well as poor to fair wetland habitat conditions.
With the early advancement of spring, broods of Canada geese appeared about two weeks earlier than usual. Mallards were into a strong nesting effort by mid April, and young broods are now being reported across the province.
As long as timely rainfall events occur throughout June and July, waterfowl production will likely be good this year.
Spring arrived early this year. April temperatures were generally warmer than normal, as were May temperatures.
Total precipitation was slightly below normal, except in eastern regions. However, there is enough water to maintain good habitat conditions throughout the province.
The breeding effort appears to be typical, although it started slightly earlier than normal. One might have expected the greater snow goose migration to happen earlier this year, due to early spring conditions, but April weather normalized migratory activity for many species. Most greater snow geese left for the North between May 20 and May 22, which is slightly earlier than usual.
The spring season started with extremely warm, sunny periods. Although more rain has fallen recently, warm temperatures continue. For nearly a week, many daily-high temperatures broke all-time records across the Maritimes.
With the milder weather, nests were initiated earlier than usual. Most geese are now with young or at the latter stages of incubation. Several broods of black ducks have been reported — some several weeks old already. Few hens have been observed on wetlands lately, suggesting that they will soon be with young.
Given current conditions, production will likely be average for early-nesting species. Wetland vegetation is well advanced, which should provide good brood-rearing habitat.
Although water levels are a bit low for this time of year, they are not low enough to cause concern. Overall, habitat conditions are good in Atlantic Canada.

The nine-minute short film presents a loose day-in-the-life look at Quincy’s South Central neighborhood, where he and his boys run red lights, roll through a pawn shop, and hide from the cops. Even as everything threatens to spiral out of control, though, they hilariously trade jabs and watch each other’s backs.
The song itself comes in around the six-minute mark, as the vid starts playing with trippy color grading. Q rips through two verses and previews what may be an uncredited feature from Kendrick Lamar (or, at least, someone who sounds a hell of a lot like Kendrick Lamar) on the hook. The clip ends with an ominous “to be continued,” so it looks like there’s plenty more drama ahead.

CHELSEA tried to sign Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak, according to reports in France.
Chelsea have been in the market for a new midfielder this summer as Antonio Conte looks to replace Nemanja Matic ahead of the new campaign.
Manchester United and Juventus have both been linked with moves for Matic, who played a crucial part in Chelsea's Premier League title glory last term.
The Blues completed a £40million deal for Bakayoko from Monaco earlier this month on a five-year contract.
Krychowiak only joined PSG a year ago from Sevilla, following manager Unai Emery to the Ligue 1 giants.
But the 27-year-old failed to live up to his £34m price tag in the French capital, making just 19 appearances for PSG across all competitions.
Emery confirmed over the weekend that he plans to sell Krychowiak this summer as he looks to raise funds to improve the rest of his squad.
"I have already spoken with him," Emery said of Krychowiak. "The best option is that he leaves, he hasn't adapted to the team.
"He is a quality player who is able to play in a great team, it's better that he finds another team where the style of play suits him better."

My name is Angela Gavello. A native of Torino, I live and work in the surrounding hills of the capital of Piedmont. I come from a family of farmers: my maternal grandparents farmed the land and produced high quality wines in the little town of Canelli, the renowned Moscato wine capital, in an area that lies between the Langhe and Monferrato.
In 1993 I graduated in Political Sciences at the University of Torino. I have always had a passion for the natural history of my territory and the farmers who labor the land, focusing especially on food and drink of the highest quality.
IN-PIEMONTE was created as a loving testimony to our territory and its ancient culinary, wine and horticultural traditions. I believe in the intrinsic value of the human and naturalistic resources of my land and admire the will power, creativity and innovative spirit that have always been a trade mark of our people.
For the last fourteen years I have concentrated my efforts on catering to that special breed of traveler who enjoys all the good things that life has to offer. In my view, travelling is a great opportunity to learn more about ourselves, have full respect for the environment and our fellow human beings. Beyond modern fast-paced mass tourism there is a poetic way to travel that encourages intelligent, creative thinking. A banquet for the senses that forever remains in the memory of the traveler reminding us of our humanity and reclaiming our connection to mother earth.
A heartfelt thanks to all my co-workers and suppliers (guides, drivers , chefs , artisans…) who make In-Piemonte Tours a unique, exciting experience.
Courtesy, kindness and generosity are not attributes easily found through a simple online search. My co-workers and suppliers are always available to give you a courteous hand and assist you beyond their call of duty to make sure you have an unforgettable experience.
My guests are not mere spectators, instead they experience first-hand the Piedmontese cuisine by visiting the small artisanal producers of such local delicacies as chocolate, pasta, wine, cheese and nougat.
A special attention is given to relevant issues regarding nutritional education. Learning where our food comes from and who produced it is our duty if we want to eat and drink genuine, good-quality foods.
Every single aspect of the tour is carefully designed by the client to meet his/her needs, always offering the highest quality and efficiency.
Talented, innovative chefs will teach you in a simple, straight-forward way the techniques and secrets of the famous regional Piedmontese cuisine. Let yourself be fascinated by stories and anecdotes from their trade while enjoying their local delicacies.
Trustworthy, reliable English-speaking chauffeurs will drive you to your destination, ensuring a comfortable and pleasing travel experience.
Polite, certified tourist guides with a deep knowledge of history and art, tradition and terroir inspire you with their insights into the Piedmontese culture and philosophies.
Gracious winemakers welcome you into their wine cellars to share in the mystery of their profession.
Richly talented and skilled Maestri del Gusto (Slow Food-certified chefs) and artisans unveil their craft.

HWiNFO64 is the 64-bit version of REALiX’s comprehensive and professional system diagnostic tool. It provides you with accurate information of any single component installed on your computer, from the processors to the graphics chip, and from the motherboard to the battery. It produces useful reports that you can save as a text, CSV, XML, or HTML file.
The amount of information it provides can be overwhelming at times. Actually, this is no tool for the beginner – if all you need to know is the name and type of your processor or the total RAM memory installed in your system, use the properties tab instead. HWiNFO64 produces the kind of exhaustive information that hardware designers, computer manufacturers, and hardware technicians know how to interpret. It gives you not only objective information about any component on your computer, but also valuable data about its health and the use you are making of its resources. It not only tells you that the current temperature of your CPU Package is 49.0 ºC – it also reminds you that this value should not go below that temperature or above 56.0 ºC. It gives you the current virtual memory load or the physical memory used in MB, but also as percentages, so you really know how much you have left at a glance.
The System Summary window is probably one of the program’s main assets. Here you will find all the technical information about your system that you can dream of, and more. The level of detail provided makes this window a bit hard to grasp at first, but once you have located the component you are interested in, everything makes sense. CPU, GPU, motherboard, BIOS, memory, drives - every single part of your computer is there.
You can also access specific information about any of the components by using the program’s main interface. The various sections of your computer are neatly listed here – central processors, motherboard, memory, drives, monitor, ports, etc. Here the information provided for each component is even more comprehensive than the one in the System Summary, and it is certainly better organized. The last item on the list is Smart Battery – here you will see its general properties and the current power status, together with a piece of information that even novice users would find to be very useful, the wear level. This will help you to know if you are making a good use of your laptop’s battery and when it is time to buy a new one. Whenever you need to do so, do not forget to take a look at the battery’s “general properties” section.
HWiNFO64 is the only application you will need to know more about every hardware component installed on your computer and the use you are making of them. This sensitive information can help you detect and prevent unwanted system failures and hardware malfunctions.

text: In the opening narration to the final mission of Call of Duty: Ghosts, David Walker says the following of his father: "Dad taught us many things, but one lesson always stood out. Good men are defined by the choices they make." That line feels like a slap in the face from a game that forgets the step forward that Black Ops 2 dared to take and just focuses on a painfully linear experience entirely devoid of choice. It doesn't even try to use that linearity to its advantage, like the first two Modern Warfare games did (at times). Above all, Call of Duty: Ghosts feels lazy.

Once a student has purchased your course, you'll have access to the instructor revenue report, where you can track and review your course sales. In addition to an overview of your course sales, the Revenue Report includes transactional details for each enrollment, revenue by channel, and data regarding your own promotional activity.
On the main, revenue report page, you can see your Lifetime Earnings and sales data based on specific revenue channels. For example, if you’ve been running your own promotions and distributing instructor coupon codes, you’ll be able to review how that revenue channel has been performing.
Hover over the chart to see how each channel is performing.
Click and drag to zoom in for a closer look at the graph.
Your Promotions - These sales are attributed to your personal marketing efforts via Instructor Coupons. The revenue will be posted in this category if a student purchase is marked as an “Instructor” sale in your revenue report.

Refunds - A student refunded your course within the 30 day window.
In addition to your overall data, sales are categorized by month on your Revenue Report. Scroll down the revenue report to see expected payment dates and the payment amount for a specific month. To see a more detailed sales report for a specific month, simply click on the month in the Time Period column.
After clicking on a specific month, you can see a breakdown of your course revenue and refunds in the first pie chart.
The second pie chart shows which of your promotions are driving sales. Udemy coupons will not appear in this section, only instructor coupons that you’ve created for your courses.
The third pie chart on the right hand side of the page, breaks down your sales, by course.
Purchases: Your share of total purchases is your net revenue after revenues are split with Udemy, any marketing partners (e.g., affiliates), and any co-instructors on your course. This article explains the details behind Udemy’s revenue share.
Redemptions: Redemptions occur when a coupon or gift code is redeemed to purchase a course. This can include Enrollments that take place via third party sites, like Groupon for example, which also require coupon code redemptions.
Refunds: details regarding refunds for your courses, and the change to your revenue, is posted on this page.
Other: other revenue includes external partner payments, adjustments (corrections for any errors in past statements), and any revenue generated from Corporate Subscription, if applicable.
You can also review detailed information for each transaction, including the time of the enrollment, the platform it took place on, and any fees or taxes that were applied.

Why is a User Name on my Revenue Report But Not on the Student List?
When a student receives your course as a Udemy gift, their username will be added to your student list, after they redeem the gift code and enroll in your course. The username of the gift purchaser, however, is listed in the purchase tab of your revenue report, and is not included on the student list (unless they purchased the course for themselves previously).

Please raise your hand America if you like property taxes. I see four or five hands out of scores of millions. Thank you. This explains a lot about the lust that periodically erupts in different states to massively cut back on the amount of property taxes you and I pay. The HR Doctor is one who did not raise his hand earlier since I, too, am not a fan of paying property taxes.
Currently, there is a legislative zeal in Florida which so far is relatively unbridled to take massive whacks at the amount of property tax people pay. Polling suggests that this tax cut idea is very strongly supported.
Of course, the same polling suggests that the most trusted levels of government are local governments, and the most important services to people are those provided by local government. There is a strong feeling among citizens that they donÂ’t want to see services cut.
Half of the HR DoctorÂ’s professional public service career was in California Â— before, during and in the aftermath of Proposition 13, the property tax-cutting citizenÂ’s initiative. IÂ’m feeling a sense of dÃ©jÃ vu because the same lust and the same statements are being made in Florida now as were made then in California. Why the property tax cutting campaign is so popular and what the results might be is certainly much more than a short article can effectively explain. Having said that, letÂ’s try it anyway.
The property tax system needs fundamental reform. It is patently unfair that my property taxes are at one level but across the street in a similar or even identical house, the taxes may be twice as much or more than I pay. The reason is that I may have been in the house for quite a while and my new neighbor across the street is still unpacking boxes from moving in last month.
Property taxes represent the fundamental source of income, not for state governments but for local governments, such as cities, counties, school districts and many special districts. To use a machete instead of a scalpel to slash and burn an extremely important source of local government income without providing a stable alternative is bad decision-making. In places like Florida, the decision-making is being done by people in the state capital who themselves do not depend on property taxes as their number one source of state government revenue.
There is no doubt also that local governments can do more with less (sorry, I heard the whining, but in our hearts we know that itÂ’s possible). A significant challenge to our normal traditional revenue source can produce positive changes as long as the loss is not at a destructive, catastrophic level.
Any major cuts without thoughtful consideration of long-term effects will produce unintended consequences. Many of these consequences will be exactly the opposite of what tax payers are being told to expect from the savings.
Some of the consequences include erosion of the local governmentÂ’s ability over time to respond to population growth, traffic increases, infrastructure deterioration, security demands and the overall quality of life.
It is hard to measure these long-term impacts because they are at least as much qualitative as quantitative. What is the price Â— over time Â— of a library closing at 5 p.m. instead of 9 p.m. or childrenÂ’s programs or other park activities being curtailed? What is the price of a police departmentÂ’s officer-to-population ratio declining? What is the price of the extra two minutes that it may take paramedics to respond to a heart attack call because the departmentÂ’s growth has been stymied, but not the demands for service based on population-driven criteria? What is the price of a county governmentÂ’s increased paralysis in meeting unfunded mandates such as jail population management and indigent care? The point is, with apologies to accountants and auditors, that the unintended consequences are not measurable only by using an Excel spreadsheet. These are quality of life issues which the children and grandchildren of taxpayers will wrestle with because the current generation of state lawmakers thinks in sound bites and with a short-term, Â“next electionÂ” mindset.
Where did many of the entitlements first come from? The answer is the State Legislature. WorkersÂ’ compensation presumption laws are not the product of the County Commission or a City Council. How did the property tax structure get so screwed up in the first place? Look no further than the legislature or citizen initiatives at the state level.
As happened in California, the same state government that can wreak havoc will come to the Â“rescueÂ” and say Â“DonÂ’t worry local governments, and stop whining! The state will provide some form of revenue-sharing.Â” What this really means, however, is a power grab by state government to usurp local government authority. It could also result in a new annual journey by local government representatives to the state capitols each year Â— a local government Â“trail of tears,Â” to be overly dramatic, asking for state legislative help each year in order for government programs to survive and grow as they need to in a changing world.
So, fellow taxpayers, letÂ’s enjoy our $600 or $800 property tax savings now because weÂ’re going to need much more than that to make up for the deficit ahead in the long-term ability of our best and most trusted government entities to provide the services we demand. The hurricane Â“truckÂ” in the State Capitol appears to be on a downhill road with no brakes. We will spend years figuring out how to fix the erosive effects of what is likely to happen if it makes taxpayer landfall!
