Whilst some [object types](http://www.m-files.com/user-guide/latest/eng/#Object_types.html) modelled within an M-Files vault will be created directly within M-Files, it is also possible for objects to be automatically retrieved from [external systems](http://www.m-files.com/user-guide/latest/eng/#Object_types.html).  This allows other business systems (e.g. a CRM) to manage business objects (e.g. Customers or Contacts), but for the content to be available within M-Files for reference.

In these situations, the object ID shown on the [metadata card](http://www.m-files.com/user-guide/latest/eng/#metadata_card.html) will be the ID from the external system, not the ID within M-Files.  As such, it may be useful to search the M-Files vault to find the [ObjID](https://www.m-files.com/api/documentation/latest/index.html#MFilesAPI~ObjID.html) (the internal ID) of the item within M-Files so that it can be used for other operations within the API.

## The approach

In order to search for an item containing a specific external/display Id, a `SearchCondition` must be created as below:

```csharp
SearchCondition condition = new SearchCondition
{
	ConditionType = MFConditionType.MFConditionTypeEqual,
};
condition.Expression.DataStatusValueType = MFStatusType.MFStatusTypeExtID;
condition.TypedValue.SetValue(MFDataType.MFDatatypeText, "MyDisplayId");
```

## The C# code

The code  (`Program.cs`) contains two implementations of the search code:

1. The `UseLibrary` method uses the M-Files API Helper Library to execute the various searches.  This library wraps some complexities of connecting/disconnecting from the vault, and creation of the SearchCondition objects.  The purpose of this code is to show the specific approach as cleanly as possible.
2. The `UseAPI` method uses the M-Files API directly.  This method shows the specific code required to use this approach directly against the API.  It contains more boiler-plate code but is useful both for learning, and for situations where the M-Files API Helper Library cannot be used.

### UseLibrary

This sample uses a number of helper methods from the M-Files API Helper Library.  These helper methods make connecting to the vault simpler, as well as removing the complexity of creating search conditions.

The M-Files API Helper Library contains an extension method for the `SearchConditions` class named `AddDisplayIdSearchCondition`

```csharp
// Declare variables for our vault connection.
Vault vault;
MFilesServerApplication application;

// The default connection (localhost, tcp, current Windows user) will suffice.
var connectionDetails = new ConnectionDetails();

// Connect to the vault.
connectionDetails.ConnectToVaultAdministrative(
	Program.sampleVaultGuid,
	out vault, out application);

// Create the basic search conditions collection.
var searchConditions = new SearchConditions();

// Add a condition for the display Id.
searchConditions.AddDisplayIdSearchCondition("MyDisplayId");

// Search.
var results = vault.ObjectSearchOperations.SearchForObjectsByConditions(searchConditions,
	MFSearchFlags.MFSearchFlagNone, SortResults: false);

// Output the number of items matching (should be one in each object type, at a maximum).
System.Console.WriteLine($"There were {results.Count} objects with the display Id of {Program.customerDisplayId}:");

System.Console.WriteLine($"Complete.");

// Ensure we're disconnected.
application.Disconnect(vault);
```

### UseAPI

This sample uses the M-Files API directly and does not use any helper methods from the M-Files API Helper Library.  This code builds the search conditions individually and shows how the logic is implemented within the helper functions.  Note that this code is approximately four times longer than the code above.

```csharp
// Connect to the server (localhost, tcp, current Windows user).
var application = new MFilesServerApplication();
application.ConnectAdministrative();

// Get a connection to the vault.
var vault = application.LogInToVault(Program.sampleVaultGuid.ToString("B"));

// Create the basic search conditions collection.
var searchConditions = new SearchConditions();

// Create the search condition.
SearchCondition condition = new SearchCondition
{
	ConditionType = MFConditionType.MFConditionTypeEqual,
};
condition.Expression.DataStatusValueType = MFStatusType.MFStatusTypeExtID;
condition.TypedValue.SetValue(MFDataType.MFDatatypeText, Program.customerDisplayId);

// Add the condition to the collection.
searchConditions.Add(-1, condition);

// Search.
var results = vault.ObjectSearchOperations.SearchForObjectsByConditions(searchConditions,
	MFSearchFlags.MFSearchFlagNone, SortResults: false);

// Output the number of items matching (should be one in each object type, at a maximum).
System.Console.WriteLine($"There were {results.Count} objects with the display Id of {Program.customerDisplayId}:");

System.Console.WriteLine($"Complete.");

// Disconnect.
vault.LogOutSilent();
application.Disconnect();
```

Intellectual Poison
There isn't a person anywhere who isn't capable of doing more than he thinks he can. - Henry Ford
Kitty Update
Our cat, Abby, came home from the vet's last night with a rather rough looking freshly cut front paw. No bandage over it but she did get the lampshade protector/maddifier (something that makes someone mad). For the first couple of hours she was pretty wobbly on her feet, overshadowed by the fact that she hadn't eaten in about 18 hours.
It took a little practice for her to get the bottom of the cone up over the lip of the bowl so she could access her food but she got there and was able to eat reasonably well. When she tried to go use her cat box, she was stymied by the cone and couldn't get in easily. I helped her in and back out and then back in again (did I mention she was wobbly?).
She was also pretty needy of some attention and pets and scratches so my wife and I took turns giving her lots of love.
The oddest thing about the whole ordeal is that she didn't come home with any pain killers or a prescription for any. This cat had one of her fingers removed and they didn't think to send her home with a little something for when the local anesthesia wears off. But nope. Can't say I'd like to be her this morning though she didn't seem unduly distressed.
Plus, the total bill for the surgery was about a hundred less than the top estimate, so that was a little relief in an otherwise expensive day.

The Moon has oxygen to keep all humans alive for 100,000 years
November 18, 2021 November 17, 2021 by americanjournal
By: John Grant, Professor of Soil Sciences at Southern Cross University (Australia)
Along with advances in space exploration we have recently seen a lot of time and money invested in technologies that could enable efficient use of space resources. And at the forefront of these efforts has been a laser-sharp focus to find the best way to produce oxygen on the moon.
In October, the Australian Space Agency and the POT signed an agreement to send an Australian-made rover to the moon under the Artemis program, with the goal of collecting lunar rocks that could ultimately provide breathable oxygen on Earth's satellite.
Although the Moon has an atmosphere, it is very thin and is made up mostly of hydrogen, neon, and argon. It's not the kind of gaseous mixture that could sustain oxygen-dependent mammals like humans.
That said, there is actually a lot of oxygen on the Moon.. It just isn't in a fizzy form. Instead, it is trapped within the regolith, the layer of rock and fine dust that covers the surface of this natural satellite. If we could extract oxygen from the regolith, would it be enough to sustain human life there?
The oxygen it can be found in many of the minerals in the soil around us. And the Moon is made up mostly of the same rocks you'll find on Earth (albeit with slightly more material from meteors).
Minerals like silica, aluminum, and iron and magnesium oxides dominate the lunar landscape. All of these minerals contain oxygen, but not in a form that our lungs can access.
On the Moon, these minerals exist in a few different forms, including hard rock, dust, gravel, and stones that cover the surface. This material is the result of the impacts of meteorites that collide with its surface during countless millennia.
Some people call the surface layer of the Moon lunar "soil," but as a soil scientist, I hesitate to use this term. Soil, as we know it, is something quite magical that only occurs on Earth. It has been created by a wide range of organisms working on the soil's parent material, regolith, derived from hard rock, for millions of years.
The result is a matrix of minerals that were not present in the original rocks. Earth's soil is imbued with remarkable physical, chemical, and biological characteristics. Meanwhile, the materials on the Moon's surface are basically regoliths in their original intact form.
The regolith of the Moon is composed of approximately 45% oxygen, but that element is closely linked to the minerals mentioned above. To break those strong ties we need to put energy.
You may be familiar with this if you know about electrolysis. On Earth, this process is commonly used in manufacturing, such as to produce aluminum. An electrical current is passed through a liquid form of aluminum oxide (commonly called alumina), through electrodes, to separate the aluminum from oxygen.
In this case, oxygen is produced as a by-product. On the Moon, oxygen would be the main product and the aluminum (or other metal) mined would be a potentially useful by-product.
It's a pretty straightforward process, but there's a catch: it has a lot of energy. To be sustainable, it should be supported by solar energy or other sources of energy available in the Moon.
The extraction of oxygen from the regolith would also require considerable industrial equipment. We would first have to convert solid metal oxide into liquid form, either by applying heat or by combining it with solvents or electrolytes. We have the technology to do this on Earth, but moving this device to the Moon, and generating enough power to operate it, will be a great challenge.
Earlier this year, Belgium-based startup Space Applications Services announced that it was building three experimental reactors to improve the oxygen production process through electrolysis. They hope to send the technology to the Moon by 2025 as part of the European Space Agency's In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) mission.
That said, when we do, how much oxygen could the Moon actually deliver? Well, it turns out quite a bit.
If we ignore the oxygen on the Moon trapped in the deeper hard rock material, and only consider the regolith, which is easily accessible on the surface, we can make some estimates.
Each cubic meter of lunar regolith contains 1.4 tons of minerals on average, including about 630 kilograms of oxygen. NASA says that humans need to breathe about 800 grams of oxygen a day to survive. So 630 kg of oxygen would keep a person alive for about two years (or a little longer).
Now suppose that the average depth of the Moon's regolith is about ten meters and that we can extract all the oxygen from it. That means that the upper ten meters of the Moon's surface would provide enough oxygen to sustain the 8 billion people on Earth for about 100,000 years.
This would also depend on how efficiently we are able to extract and use oxygen. Regardless, This figure is quite surprising!
Having said that, we have it pretty good here on Earth. And we must do everything we can to protect the blue planet, and its soil in particular, which continues to support all life on Earth without our trying.

It is the renovation and enhancement of all area's of a car by skillfully deep cleaning, machine polishing and then adding vital protection to all the various surfaces and materials of the inside and outside of the vehicle, to include the rejuvenation of the vehicles paintwork to beyond it's former glory. This often involves the use of specialist techniques and products, each detailed stage of the process makes an incredibly significant improvement to the vehicle's appearance, transforming vehicles beyond their often mediocre factory finish.
A paint correction detail is the painstaking process of removing common paint problems and defects including, acid bird etchings, scratches, swirl marks, previously inflicted machine polishing buffer trails, ghost-like holograms and unsightly orange peel paint finishes. This is carried out by carefully re-levelling the lacquer or single stage painted surface by 1 to 3 microns. Paint Correction is often compared to the effect of a full paint respray at a fraction of the cost, without the inconvenience, lack of originality or associated bodyshop problems.
Carnauba is the wax produced from the palm Copernicia Prunifera, a plant native to and grown only in the north eastern Brazilian states, where it is known as the "Queen of Waxes". It is obtained from the leaves of the carnauba palm, the palm naturally produces this wax to protect it's leaves from the harsh tropical weather conditions. The results when applied professionally to a detailed cars paintwork are incredible, endless depth and gloss, UV protection and relentlessly water beading during wet weather.

E-commerce, despite its advantages, has not taken off the way it should have, because of security concerns, T.V. Skanthaswamy, Associate vice-president, Infosys Technologies Ltd., Mysore, has said.
The Tatas beat Brazil's CSN to acquire Anglo-Dutch steelmaker Corus Group Plc at slightly more than $11 billion.
With a bid of 608 pence a share, Indian corporate giant Tata Steel outsmarted CSN's 603 pence a share offer during the night-long auction process.
CSN officials confirmed pulling out of the race to acquire Europe's second-largest steel firm after a final offer of 603 pence a share. Tata officials remained tightlipped.
Tata Steel raised its final offer to 608 pence a share by the time the auction entered the concluding ninth round from 500 pence a share at the start of the auction.
The company also stated that it will shortly seek approval of its revised offer from the Board of Corus Group Plc and the $11.3 billion transaction is likely to be finished by the mid-March this year.

I couldnt get any official article on the same ,if u get any do post it as comment to this post.
India's largest software exporter $2.97-billion TCS plans to achieve over 10% of its revenue from its e-governance vertical by 2010. Overall, the company has set itself a target of $10 billion by 2010. This translates into e-governance revenues of over $1 billion.
"We project at least 10% contribution to TCS' overall revenues through e-governance by fiscal year ending 2009-10," says Tanmoy Chakrabarty, vice-president (global government industry group), TCS.
Last year TCS earned less than $200 million through its e-governance practice. According to estimates, the global e-governance pie is over 180 billion, of which Indian companies share at present is minuscule, less than 1%.
TCS rivals such as Infosys, Wipro, Satyam and HCL have lesser share of e-governance in their overall pie. Surprisingly, TCS' biggest rival Infosys doesn't have a government vertical.
US President George W Bush's reported comments on the US looking at the possibility of increasing the number of HI-B visas — granted to Indian professionals to work in the US — has received an enthusiastic response from Nasscom.
The Nasscom President, Mr Kiran Karnik, told Business Line, " We welcome such an initiative. This step would be mutually beneficial to both the countries." He said that last year the senate immigration Bill that dealt with the issue could not be converted into legislation due to problems of illegal immigrants.

LeVar Burton has had quite the career. He starred in the iconic miniseries Roots. He was a central figure in the lives of many people of a certain age thanks to his role in Reading Rainbow. In fact, these days he has a podcast where he reads books for adults, because some folks still just want to have Burton reading to them. All that being said, Burton is probably best remembered for playing Geordi La Forge on Star Trek: The Next Generation, even though his eyes were covered most of the time. Now, Burton is back as La Forge, at least in video game form.
Since Burton is so beloved for his portrayal of Geordi by Star Trek fans, surely the people playing Star Trek Online will be happy to hear his voice, even if he isn't reading any books.


Diabetes deteriorates atherosclerotic changes in the arteries. The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence and localization of stenotic atherosclerotic lesions of the internal carotid artery (ICA) in patients with diabetes. A prospective analysis of angiography findings was carried out in 150 diabetic and 150 non-diabetic patients with symptoms of cerebral ischemia using double-blind angiogram readings by two independent investigators. The degree of stenosis was determined using the North American Symptomatic Carotid Endartectomy Trial (NASCET) criteria. Stenoses of the proximal arterial segment accounted for the majority of extracranial ICA Stenoses, being more frequent in diabetic (left ICA 50, 7 %, right ICA 58, 0 %) than in the non-diabetic patients (left ICA 29, 3 %, right ICA 32, 7 %). Diabetic patients revealed a more significant rate of unilateral tandem ICA stenoses (14, 0-21, 3 %), as well as a statistically significantly higher prevalence of intracranial ICA stenoses (left ICA 24, 0 % and right ICA 17, 3 %) than did non-diabetic patients (left and right ICA 3, 3 % each). Our results confirm that there is a morphological basis in ICA for increased incidence of ICA lesions in patients with diabetes as compared to those without it. Data on the incidence of stenotic ICA lesions in diabetes suggest the importance of assessing overall ICA status using digital subtraction angiography. Such an assessment is a precognition for an optimal therapeutic approach, especially in diabetic patients who are at an increased risk of cerebrovascular disease.
