The List Box control displays data in the form of a list from which the user may select one or more items. The Combo Box control combines the features of a List Box control with a Text Box control, allowing the user to enter a new value if desired. Properties of the List Box and Combo Box controls commonly set at Design Time and Run Time are listed in Table 6.4.
The List Box control may be drawn on the form with varying height and width such that it displays one or more items in the list. If there are more items in the list that can be displayed in the area provided, the scroll bars will automatically appear. Normally the List Box control is drawn with its Height property set to a value large enough for several values to be displayed, because it is difficult to see the scroll bar when the control is at a minimum height. If space on the form is at a premium, use a Combo Box control and set the Style property to dropdown list.
Name Sets the name of the control to use as a code reference to the object.
MultiSelect List Box control only. Indicates whether of not the user will be able to select multiple items in the list.
ColumnCount Sets the number of data columns to be displayed in the list.
(multi selection) should appear with items in the list.
Value Holds the current selection in the list. If a multi-select List Box control is used, the BoundColumn property must be used to identify the column from which the Value property is set.
BoundColumn Identifies the column that sets the source of the Value property in a multi-select List Box.
List Run-time only. Used to access the items in the control.
ListCount Run-time only. Returns the number of items listed in the control.
ListIndex Run-time only. Identifies the currently selected item in the control.
Style Combo Box control only. Specifies the behavior of the control as a combo box or a dropdown list box.
The AddItem() method must be called for every row of data added to the list. A looping code structure will often work well to complete this task. Other methods belonging to both the List Box and Combo Box controls include, Clear() and RemoveItem() which remove all or one item from the control's list, respectively. The Combo Box control also includes a DropDown() method that, when invoked, displays the control's list.
The most useful event procedure of the List Box and Combo Box controls is the Change() event. Although you may find the DropButtonClick() event procedure of the Combo Box control quite useful as well. The Change() event is triggered when the Value property of the control changes. (The Value property of the List Box and Combo Box control is the selected item from the list.) The DropButtonClick() event of the Combo Box control is triggered when the controls dropdown button is clicked signaling that the user is viewing the list of items in the control.
Be sure to check the Object Browser for a complete list of properties, methods, and events associated with the ActiveX controls discussed in this chapter.

If you're a Cricut Explore owner, today's post is for you!
If you're not a Cricut Explore owner….well, today's post is also for you!
For years, I've been a Cricut completest. My Cricut Explore has a hand in most, if not all of, my craft projects. It's so fun to create professional quality, personalized crafts for every occasion.
Hi, I'm Damask Love and today we're tackling Father's Day. If you haven't purchased a card for Dad, don't worry, I've got you covered. If you already have a Cricut Explore, you can quickly whip up any of these cool, modern cards. If you've been looking for the perfect excuse to snag an Explore, here it is! When dad asks about your new crafting toy, just tell him you needed it to make his Father's Day card!
Let's get started making some cards for dad, and learning some cool Cricut tips along the way.
Cricut Design Space is your one-stop-shop for easy and quick projects. The Design Space homepage is updated regularly to feature seasonal designs, so you don't have to do any searching. For these Father's Day cards, I selected projects directly from the Design Space homepage. Easy!
This mat is perfect for paper. The paper adheres nicely but peels back easily when you cut is done.
Good adhesives are a must for making paper craft projects. I love using these because you can easily apply adhesive to only the areas where you need it. This is especially helpful for intricate cuts. These tools will apply adhesive only where there is paper.
Give your project some dimension by popping up the elements with foam adhesive.
Assemble the "Beers to You" card using a Xyron Sticker Maker to get full coverage on the intricate green front of the card.
Use the Xyron Mega Runner to adhere pieces of the "Hipster Dad" Card. With all those intricate "DAD" cuts, the Mega runner will only apply adhesive where there is paper. No paper? No adhesive.
Now for my favorite! This Father's Day Coupon Book is so fun to make! Use foam adhesive squares to adhere the front cover. This will give dimension to the project and add something special to your handcrafted gift.
A Xyron Sticker maker comes in handy for adhering the small word cut outs.
Now comes the hardest part of all, which card will you make for dad?!

A 28-year-old from Suryapet, a city in Telangana, has been invited to take part in the auditions for the popular TV show 'America's Got Talent.'
Kranthi, who is well-known by the name 'Kranti Drillman,' will present his unique feats before the judges of the popular show.
"It is a big opportunity for me to showcase my talent in front of the world," Panikeri Kranthi was quoted by Times of India before leaving for the United States on Thursday. The auditions in Los Angeles are slated for February 9.
Kranti's Talent
The unique talent of Kranthi is he can drill into his nose, without spilling a drop of blood. Up to now he showcased his talent in several countries including the United States, Singapore, and Malaysia. Kranthi, who aspired to become an Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer, performed in more than 300 shows on stage and likewise on several television programs.
Kranthi's name was recommended for the "American's Got Talent" show through "India's Got Talent," where he once showcased his talent.
"I've always wanted to do something unique to be known as somebody unique in the world," Kranthi said explaining how he had started practising his feats since he was studying in Intermediate.
The "Drillman" through it may seem strange perform to a great extent unique feats. He can send 32 knives into his throat, without getting hurt. Each knife will be two feet in length. This apart, he does not get hurt when he drips his hands in hot boiling oil. "I can even drink it," he said. But how does he do it? The only answer he gives for it is that he practices.
Recently, he has even able to perform a feat nobody else has. "I can allow a Toofan (vehicle) to be run over my nose without getting hurt," he said.
Kranthi aimed at getting into the civil services to become an IAS officer as he felt the need to remove caste discrimination in society. "As someone belonging to the SC community, I have myself faced such discrimination," he said. The IAS dream did not materialize and he did not pursue it after he completed his graduation. "I am a mason's son and I do masonry work,"
When asked about his livelihood Kranthi was quoted by TOI saying, his father Sattaiah recently had a paralytic stroke and his mother Mallamma an agriculture labour. They have no agriculture land.
His family got to know about his unique talent, when he first performed feats on "India's Got Talent" show 2015. As the family does not have a television, he took them to the neighbor's house. "When they saw me do the feats on India's Got Talent show, they were surprised. They were concerned about me but did not discourage me," he recalled.
What other feats can be performed? "I can climb a tree upside down," he said talking about his various talents. But now, Kranthi, 'India's Drillman' is on his way to Los Angeles to show his talent the world.

Sara DeGraff Helps Charities Get Out The Word
Sara DeGraff, who founded a TV show, Nonprofit World, that features representatives of nonprofit organizations who need money. If people see the shows, they might think to donate.
Sara DeGraff is a super-confident woman, but even she sometimes wonders what direction her life is going in. She had a moment like that a few years ago. She was driving to the graduation ceremony at UConn, where she had just finished her third post-graduate degree. She was making plans to turn a book she wrote, "How to Dance With Life," into a cable-access TV show.
"I was asking God, what do I do with all these diplomas? Am I collecting them? What's my purpose in life?" DeGraff said. "Then I heard this song on the radio, 'Your Love Never Fails'."
At the same time the spiritual tune played, DeGraff saw a rainbow in the sky. "I started crying," she said. "That was a sign, a confirmation that God would guide me every step of the way."
She decided in that moment to change her TV show. The focus wouldn't be on her. Instead, it would be on community organizations that need money, volunteers and visibility to do good work.
DeGraff created "The Nonprofit World," which helps small, local nonprofit organizations get the word out about what they do and how people can help. Since July 2016, the hourlong show has been broadcast biweekly after being filmed at Farmington-based Nutmeg TV (nutmegtv.org). That cable TV station reaches viewers in Avon, Berlin, Bristol, Burlington, Canton, Farmington, New Britain and Plainville.
The show can be seen on Channel 5 on Comcast and Channel 99 on Frontier. It is shown Sundays at 10 p.m., Thursdays at 4 p.m. and Saturdays at 10:30 a.m., and every other Wednesday at 2 p.m. After they air on TV, DeGraff uploads the programs onto Vimeo and YouTube.
"I want to connect the donors with the recipients. People are trying to find causes. They want to donate. They want to help. They don't know where," DeGraff said. "Sometimes you can't rely on the big nonprofits. The money doesn't always get to the people."

DeGraff was born in Haiti. Thirty-five years ago, she was sent to the United States by her mother to help her pregnant sister in New York deal with the coming baby. She lived, went to college and worked in the New York City area, and traveled the world, at one time for UNIFEM (The United Nations Development Fund for Women). She now lives in New Britain with her husband.
In Haiti, in the United States and in her travels, DeGraff has seen a lot of poverty and she has seen how large nonprofits don't do as much as she hopes they would. "The people never get to be helped. What the [organizations] are doing is not what people need," she said.
For that reason, "The Nonprofit World" focuses on small organizations. "Small organizations are doing big work. I am giving a voice to the voiceless and marginalized," she said. DeGraff is the show's executive producer. Others appear on the air. DeGraff said her dream is to get her show onto a local PBS station.
Organizations she has highlighted on "The Nonprofit World" include the Connecticut Alliance to End Sexual Violence, Hartford's South Park Inn emergency shelter, the drug addiction-fighting Manchester CT Hope Initiative, the Oakville-based VFW Post 7330, the Storrs-based animal-therapy group North Star Foundation, the Connecticut Early Childhood Alliance, Catholic Charities in Hartford, Kinsella Arts Incorporated, the St. Agnes Home in West Hartford, the Children's Museum in West Hartford, Leadership Greater Hartford, Hartford's Women's League Child Development Center, the Farmington River Watershed Association, West Hartford's Playhouse on Park and other small entities from Connecticut and around the Northeast.

Karraine Moody, executive director of Hartford Area Habitat for Humanity, was on DeGraff's show. Moody said that the struggling financial picture in the nonprofit world makes DeGraff's show especially welcome. "Marketing is extremely expensive, so this platform allows nonprofits to educate and inform viewers on their mission and make the case for support," she said.
Rod Norwood, founder of the Hartford-area art-therapy charity AIM for a Better Tomorrow, has been on the show, too. "I don't think there is anything else like it anywhere, that takes the time to look out at all the small local nonprofits that are doing important little pieces of work in one or more communities," Norwood said.
DeGraff welcomes inquiries from nonprofits. "Anybody making a difference is welcome," DeGraff said. "These organizations need an outlet to get the word out, who they are, what they do, how people can get involved."
DeGraff can be reached at thenonprofitworldtvshow@gmail.com.

As part of CommuniCare Health Centers network, which also operates primary care clinics in Davis and Sacramento, Hansen Family Health has provided low-to-no-cost services for residents in the area since 1987.

Counselors utilize either CBT or DBT depending upon their training. Topics include relapse prevention, addiction and health, communication skills, coping skills, managing stress and family dynamics. Duration of the program is typically two months, but can vary depending on the client.

Verity Hunt-Ballard as Mary Poppins.
The new version of "Mary Poppins" has no Julie Andrews' saccharin as the world's favourite nanny finds herself on a tough assignment in the Banks household.
The brainchild of Australian writer Pamela Lyndon Travers, the character of Mary has a darker side, seen in this stage version adapted from the Travers book and the 1964 Disney film.
Of course, all the favourite songs are there, including the amazing "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious". And there's at least one song not in the movie, "Playing the Game".
Two stars of the show whizzed into Canberra to tell us about it. Sally-Anne Upton is Mrs Brill, the cook/housekeeper. Christopher Rickerby, is the henpecked butler Robertson Ay. The pair join luminaries such as Philip Quast and Marina Prior as George and Winifred Banks, Judi Connelli as fearsome Miss Andrew, and Verity Hunt-Ballard, who won the part of Mary Poppins from hundreds.
"Poppins" is the rage right now, but soon there'll be "Hairspray, The Musical," directed by David Atkins. It's about the perennial subject of peer group pressure, with '60s hairstyles that would put Marge Simpson to shame, and two of its stars also romped through town recently to let us know what to expect.
Jas Flowers, a girl from Gippsland, took out a BA in musical theatre at Ballarat and went straight on stage with roles in "Shane Warne the Musical" and "Fame". She plays 16-year-old Tracy, the bubbly but bulky star of "Hairspray". Flowers wears a padded suit to play a role she says is all about "what's on the inside".
Tevin Campbell, who played his role on Broadway for three years, is from Texas and really an R&B singer once mentored by Quincy Jones. Campbell plays "a cool nerd who falls in love with the nerdy girl".
And is there a moral to the show? Yes indeed: "It's okay to be different". Just like "Mary Poppins", really.

Q: Extract the original file name I have an application in which user has an option to attach a file. The file is then stored in the database and the file name is appended with a few strings such as form name, request number and date. I want to extract the original file name from this file.
eg. A file name Test_File.docx is saved as Test_File__ABC__123_01252017.docx. I have written a code to extract the file name using the code but I feel that there are many redundant elements in my code. Can someone please let me know if there is an alternative or a better way to write this.
Here is my piece of code.
file = "Test_File__ABC__123_01252017.docx";
                int ix1 = file.LastIndexOf('_');
                int ix2 = ix1 > 0 ? file.LastIndexOf('_', ix1 - 1) : -1;
                int ix3 = ix2 > 0 ? file.LastIndexOf('_', ix2 - 1) : -1;
                int ix4 = ix3 > 0 ? file.LastIndexOf('_', ix3 - 1) : -1;
                int ix5 = ix4 > 0 ? file.LastIndexOf('_', ix4 - 1) : -1;
                int ix6 = ix5 > 0 ? file.LastIndexOf('_', ix5 - 1) : -1;

string Real_Name = file.Substring(0, ix6);

Real_Name contains the original file name "Test_File"

A: You can try this:

The Power List 2020: Publishing and Literary Arts
Credited with creating his own brand of hip-hop sonnet, Hayes has a fan base (which some have compared with "Mick Jagger groupies") more often associated with a singer than a poet. This professor of English at New York University is one of our great poets, the winner of the Hurston/Wright 2019 Award for Poetry for the collection American Sonnets for My Past and Future Assassin, and the recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and a National Book Award, to name a few. Unafraid to confront the state of the country with his fearlessly inventive, lyrical lamentations, "George Floyd," recently published in The New Yorker, will go down as a protest poem for the ages.

Dana Canedy
Publisher, Simon & Schuster
With her recent appointment at Simon & Schuster, Canedy becomes the first Black person to head a major publishing house. During her 20 years at the New York Times, her beat included race, finance, terrorism, and politics, and she shared a Pulitzer Prize for the series "How Race Is Lived in America." Her memoir, A Journal for Jordan, about her husband, 1st Sgt. Charles M. King, who was killed in action in Iraq in 2006, was a bestseller. The film adaptation, directed by Denzel Washington and starring Michael B. Jordan, goes into production this fall.
Andrea Davis Pinkney
Children's Author & Editor
The award-winning writer, editor, and Brooklyn resident has influenced a generation of children with her elegant, engaging books focusing on social justice and civil rights themes. Twenty of them have been illustrated by her husband, the Caldecott-honored Brian Pinkney. Her latest, Loretta Little Looks Back: Three Voices Go Tell It, about a family living through the civil rights movement, has been already hailed as a prescient work. "Kids are the city's brightest lights, but they need us grown-ups to help them shine during these uncertain times," Pinkney says. ''Loretta, the 12-year-old protagonist of my latest novel, reminds us that activism is in the hands of young people. They're on the sidewalks and streets, showing us hope. Now all we have to do is pay attention."

Suzanne Nossel
CEO, PEN America
One doesn't have to be a writer to defend independent journalism, but it certainly helps. During her tenure, Nossel has doubled PEN America's staff and membership, and established an office in Washington, DC. This summer she released Dare to Speak, described as a "playbook for navigating and defending free speech today."
Best-known for winning the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction twice with his novels The Underground Railroad and The Nickel Boys, Whitehead also wrote The Colossus of New York, a near-flawless nonfiction gem celebrating our city. No bedside table is complete without it.

20 Questions for Joan Didion


Thank you for the quick answer, but no, I'm playing with the English version (in truth just to avoid the problems like this one).
Where did you install the mod? It should be in Program Files/.../Civ4/BTS/Mods. If you install it in My Games/.../Mods, some mods cause problems.
I suppose I have to reinstall the whole game.
Did you use the ingame updater to get BTS3.19? That one doesn't work properly. You should do it manually.
If this also isn't the problem I'm out of clues.
How do I Install the Mac patch?
Unfortunately, there is no patch for the mac version.
Yes, and I really want to play this awesome mod, so does anyone know how to install it?
Turn 246, playing as the Romans. 1250AD. Saladin asked to become my vassal. once Turn 247 Begins. if I accept it automatically makes me declare war on Isabella. It also says I declared war on isabella. I reloaded but unfortunately I declined having Saladin as my vassal because of it.
France after the little damn rebellion became my vassal. I granted independance to the germans given I couldn't fight them either. The Dutch willingly submitted in a capitulation when one of my named legions "heroes of the sword" or something joined them. Beat them to an inch of their life.
So yeah that is the gist of it.
On Arab vassalization: They are automatically at war with Spain, so you accepting them as your vassal brings you into their side of the war.
I'm not really sure what you mean in the second paragraph, so I can't help you.

This morning I rode a motorcycle for the first time. Rode, not drove—less empowering, still liberating, thanks to the way fast wind feels on skin. The late night motor gangs parading down Thayer may have hurt the vehicle's cred around here, but if you ignore toxic masculinity, something euphoric persists: adrenaline, speed, open air. A thrilling dilemma: wear a cyborg-like helmet or face the possibility of death.
Motorcycles may deserve more than a rubbernecker's glance, but meanwhile other forms of transportation made headlines this week. The Mayor of London banned Uber—a beacon of hope that governments can hold corporations accountable for their flouting of regulations and degradation of labor. Saudi Arabia reversed its ban on women driving—a beacon of hope for women whose position as passenger has long stymied their salary and independence.
In our own Rhode Island, RIPTA and the Rhode Island Division of Planning partnered to launch a series of public workshops this week on "long-term transportation strategies"—in particular, investment in selfdriving cars by 2040.
Personally, I'd prefer to look like a cyborg than be driven by one. Rev up, comrades.

Igloo Review
By Jill Duffy
Covers all core features needed in a company intranet.
Free version available.
Not especially slick or fun to use.
Only light work-management and project-management features.
No native audio or video calling tools.
Igloo's custom intranet is a place to communicate, with tools for managing work and projects, too. The service is reliable, but it's not on the cutting edge in terms of design or features.
How do people in your business communicate while getting work done? Maybe they use a combination of email, chat apps, and a server where they share documents. A good collaboration service can centralize these various forms of communication into one place, giving greater context to conversations and keeping a history of them, as well. Igloo is a custom intranet and collaboration platform for teams and businesses that keeps conversations and work together. You add to it the elements that you need, which might include a channel for broadcasting information to employees or an online IT help desk, or both. While Igloo is reliable, it isn't especially cutting-edge or fun to use, however.
Editors' Choice Podio ($9.00 at Software Advice) is a similar service that, like Igloo, lets you build your own online workplace collaboration space; but Podio feels more nimble and contemporary. You, or your account administrators anyway, can add or remove apps from your Podio account whenever you like. Apps are wide ranging, too, covering everything from Events Management to Sales and CRM. They are can be specific and focused, and that helps teams get moving with them quickly. Igloo doesn't have quite the same panache.
Igloo offers a simple free account for up to 10 people who want to try out the service. In addition, there are three tiers of paid accounts: Basic, Professional, and Enterprise. In my opinion, all the paid tiers of service are more suitable for medium-to-large businesses than for small ones.
The Basic account costs $8 per person per month and is designed for organizations looking to improve basic communication and collaboration. It includes all the core features of the service, a decent amount of storage space (250GB), access to the Igloo API key, domain mapping, and basic technical support. At this price, you can choose two languages for the implementation. You also get use of the iOS and Android apps.

The Professional account costs $12 per person per month and caters more to organizations that are looking to not only improve communication and collaboration, but also to drive productivity. Professional accounts come with everything in Basic, plus extra storage (1TB), implementation in up to four languages, single sign-on, content moderation and archiving tools, and advanced file editing and uploading via a desktop tool.
Professional accounts may choose up to five "productivity digital workplace solutions" to add. These are the components that make your Igloo account unique. A few examples of these components are IT Help Desk, Newsroom, Virtual Town Hall, Employee Handbook, and Social Zone.
For Enterprise plans, the pricing is customized and therefore not made public. With Enterprise, you get everything in the Professional plan, plus all supported languages, an increase in storage to 2TB, premium disaster recovery, and more. You can also choose up to 10 productivity digital workplace solutions.
As a point of comparison, Podio charges $9, $14, and $24 per user per month for its three basic tiers of service, with slight discounts if you pay annually instead of monthly. It also has an Enterprise plan, which has custom pricing.
Another enterprise-grade work management platform called Workfront (Visit Site at Workfront) , costs roughly $30 per user per month, with the exact price varying based on each user's role in the organization and how much access they will have to the account.
The apps I've mentioned so far all combine communication and work management equally, more or less. There are other apps that focus on communication without providing much in the way of work-management tools, like team chat apps. Slack is perhaps the best known of that group, although I'd put Workplace by Facebook in that category as well. Team chat apps generally cost less than collaboration tools, but they are a better fit for organizations that don't need work-management tools.
Features and Interface
At its heart, Igloo is an intranet, meaning it's a private website where members of a group (usually employees of a business) log on and get information they need about the organization and the day-to-day happenings of their office, department, or team. Emphasis is on internal communication. Think of Igloo as the place you log in to get your workday started, but also where you stay to get work done.
Every installation of Igloo is unique and customized to the needs of the organization. Some accounts can end up looking completely different than others. It depends how you design and implement Igloo.
I mentioned previously some of the digital workplace solutions you can add to a Professional or Enterprise account. Beyond choosing which services you want, you can also create Team Spaces for different groups or projects.
Each Team Space includes tools for having discussions, uploading files, scheduling meetings, assigning tasks, marking milestones, and more. In a sense, they function as lightweight project management hubs. I say lightweight because they lack some of the more detailed aspects of project management, such as time-tracking tools, resource management and distribution tools, and Gantt charts. For that kind of functionality, you need full-scale project management software.
When you create a new Space, you can start from a blank slate or use a template. The template options are Committee, Department, Project, and Task Force. The template doesn't give you a completely finished page. Rather, it suggests elements to add to your space, such as a calendar, an area to display blog posts, and so forth.
While Igloo provides a decent array of options, they don't compare to Podio's app marketplace or the custom apps you can build in Podio. Podio offers dozens upon dozens of apps, filtered by business need. For example, there's an entire section of apps for HR use, including a Job Announcements app. Most of the apps are highly specific, too. It may take your team some time to sift through Podio's options or build the exact tools you want using Podio, whereas Igloo keeps the options tighter. For teams that are growing quickly, Podio is highly beneficial because it has so many ready-made apps for various business needs that you can tack on at any time. Igloo doesn't offer quite the same type of flexibility.
Igloo's communication tools are adequate, but not impressive. There are no audio or video calling services included, although you can integrate with Skype for Business if you need. When you need to reach colleagues quickly, you can send them a message, which is different from having a real-time chat window that pops into view when you need it. The design of the messaging system looks more like email than any chat app I've used in the last five years. Due entirely to the design, I felt like there was no assumption that my colleagues would see or respond to my messages quickly. There's no immediacy about it, other than the fact that you see a little notification at the top of the screen when a new message arrives.
In addition to messages, there are forums for other kinds of discussions, although they look more like blog posts with comments attached rather than forums in the more traditional sense. The very first post stands out as a lone message, and any additional conversation shows up as comments. Once again, the design isn't very up to date, as far as this type of communication goes. Anyone accustomed to seeing back-and-forth discussions on team messaging apps will take one look at Igloo's forums and wonder why so much empty space is used putting comments into their own separate boxes. It looks dated and stodgy.
On the other hand, one of my favorite features in Igloo is a simple five-star rating system that's automatically added to both files you upload and forum topics. Say you have three possible designs for a project. The designer uploads all three designs for feedback. Everyone can comment on them, of course, but you can just as easily add one to five stars to show your approval. As more people rate the same file or post, the system automatically averages them. Moreover, there's a stat box showing how many times the file has been viewed, how many people are now following the item (for updates when people comment on it or when other activity occurs), and how many comments are on the item. This is helpful, useful information.
You can optionally track exactly who has opened a file, and you can ask Igloo to show each user a pop-up that makes them acknowledge that they have seen or read uploaded documents. Whether those kinds of reminders and check-ins work for your organization will depend highly on company culture, but I like having the option.
One feature I'd like to see added is a built-in PDF- and image-markup tool. Igloo lets you view files right in the browser, but you can't highlight them or draw on them unless you first download them, open and edit them in another program, and then re-upload them. When collaborating on design comps, those features are exactly the kind you want to have.
Igloo can integrate with a variety of services, including cloud storage services, such as Box, Dropbox, and Google Drive, as well as popular business apps, such as Salesforce, Slack, and Zendesk. Other integration options include Microsoft Office 365 (which includes SharePoint Online, OneDrive for Business, Office Online, Outlook, Yammer, Skype for Business), Built.io, and more.
In addition, customers with paid accounts have access to Igloo's API and can therefore create their own integrations.
Reliable Collaboration
Igloo provides a good and reliable intranet that contains both communication and collaboration tools. It isn't especially slick or sleek, but it gets the job done. On the whole, Editors' Choice Podio offers more and for a similar price. Podio is also better for organizations of all sizes, whereas Igloo really caters more to larger companies.

Shaken and stirred: Scientists capture deformation effect of shock waves on a material
Understanding how shock waves affect structures is crucial for advancements in material science research, including safety protocols and novel surface modifications. Using X-ray diffraction probes, scientists at the Institute of Materials Structure Science of KEK, Tokyo of Tech, Kumamoto University, and University of Tsukuba studied the deformation of polycrystalline aluminum foil when subjected to a laser-driven shock wave.
Figure 1. Diffraction patterns of deformed crystals
Aluminum foil irradiated by a laser-driven shock wave is followed by an X-ray pulse to read the diffraction pattern of the crystal structure.
The foundations of engineering lie in understanding and manipulating the structure of materials to harness their properties in creative ways. Interactions between materials take place via the exchange of forces so predicting a material's ability to withstand a force and how it propagates is central to developing structures with enhanced strength.
If an instantaneous strong force acting on a material results in a shock wave, the atoms may become displaced or dislocated. Like a rubber band, if the external force is not too significant, the internal forces can resist and the material can return to its original state (elastic deformation). But beyond a certain limit, the force may result in permanent damage or even structural failure (plastic deformation) of the material.
Unit cells are the smallest regularly repeating three dimensional atomic structure that reflects the overall symmetry of a crystal, and studying their displacement can provide rich insights. However, observing processes at the atomic scale is very difficult. This is where x-ray diffraction comes to the rescue. Envision a camera that allows you to capture events taking place at the atomic scale. When an x-ray encounters an atom it gets absorbed and then re-emitted by the atom. This results in the wave being scattered or diffracted in an orderly fashion, owing to the orderly arrangement of atoms in the crystal. Depending on the size, spatial arrangement, and distance between the atoms, the wave is scattered in different directions with different intensity. Thus, the atomic structure is captured as signals, like a photograph of the crystal during and after the shock wave passes. This can be used to decode crystal deformation.
Motivated by this, researchers conducted an experiment to observe the deformation process of polycrystalline aluminum foil when subjected to a laser-driven shock wave. This disturbance was then captured as diffraction spots of an x-ray beam which could be simultaneously compared to the diffraction pattern of the pre-shock crystal (Fig. 1). They found that large grains of aluminum were rotated, compressed elastically, and reduced in size along the wave direction. As the wave propagated deeper into the sample, the diffraction spots smoothed and broadened, and the original diffraction spots began to disappear, replaced by a new set of spots (Fig. 2). "We observed grain refinement and structural changes of the polycrystalline metal, which increased with the propagation of the laser-driven shock wave. This, in turn, enabled the study of microstructural deformation in plastic shock flows from the atomic to the mesoscale level," stated Dr. Kohei Ichiyanagi of High Energy Accelerator Research Organization and Jichi Medical University.
Figure 2. Pre and post shock wave diffraction pattern of crystals
Diffraction images of polycrystalline aluminum foil before laser irradiation (left image) and after shock wave propagation (right image). The laser-induced shock wave pattern is smoothed due to plastic deformation.
Researchers working in the control room
Kouhei Ichiyanagi (left) and Sota Takagi, Doctoral student of University of Tsukuba analyzed the diffraction images of the pre- and post-shocked samples.They irradiated the samples with 100 picosecond X-ray pulses synchronized during one high intensity pulsed laser irradiation (8 nano sec), changed the irradiation timing by 3 nano sec and shot the image repeatedly,then succeeded in acquiring time-resolved diffraction images.
Contemporary research of post-shock structural changes of materials often fails to highlight the process of wave dissipation and the distribution of defects. This research changes the status quo by providing a method to observe grain refinement and structural changes, including surface hardness and modification, of polycrystalline metal during shock wave loading. Optimistic about the potential of this research, Professor Kazutaka G. Nakamura of the Tokyo Institute of Technology said, "Our technique will be valuable for revealing mechanisms of microstructural change for various alloys and ceramics based on dynamic processes."
Surely, this goes to show the creative ways we can expand the reaches of what we are able to see: this time, it's how x-rays can be used to capture how particles are shaken and stirred!
