•  Multiple File Selection (i.e. user can select multiple files to upload)
• User can select only allowable Files (i.e. we can configure the file extention to upload)
• Auto update when all files uploaded
• It must be free control

I was tried a lot to find such file uploader and i was found that many multiple file uploader available with above mentioned features. But i like a JumpLoader

which is very useful and easy to use.

JumpLoader is a Java applet designed to upload files from the client to a server.

This is a valuable replacement for <input type=”file”>

you can read more about JumpLoader at www.jumploader.com

I was used jumploader in my project with c# Asp.Net.

History

The oldest discovered bricks, originally made from shaped mud and dating to 7500 B.C., were found in in the upper Tigris region and in southeast Anatolia close to Diyarbakir. Other more recent findings, dated between 7,000 and 6,395 B.C., come from Jericho and Catal Hüyük. The first sun-dried bricks were made in Mesopotamia (what is now Iraq), in the ancient city of Ur in about 4000 BC, although the arch used for drying the bricks was not actually found.
Other examples of civilizations who used mud brick include the ancient Egyptians and the Indus Valley Civilization, where it was used exclusively. In particular, it is evident from the ruins of Buhen, Mohenjo-daro and Harappa.

The trend of building upwards for offices that emerged towards the beginning of the 19th century displaced brick in favor of cast and wrought iron and later steel and concrete. Some early ‘skyscrapers’ were made in masonry, and demonstrated the limitations of the material – for example, the Monadnock Building in Chicago (opened in 1896) is masonry and just seventeen stories high; the ground walls are almost 6 feet (1.8 m) thick, clearly building any higher would lead to excessive loss of internal floor space on the lower floors. Brick was revived for high structures in the 1950s following work by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology[disambiguation needed] and the Building Research Establishment in Watford, UK. This method produced eighteen-story structures with bearing walls no thicker than a single brick (150–225 mm). This potential has not been fully developed because of the ease and speed in building with other materials; in the late-20th century brick was confined to low- or medium-rise structures or as a thin decorative cladding over concrete-and-steel buildings or for internal non-load-bearing walls.

Methods of  manufacture

Bricks may be made from clay, shale, soft slate, calcium silicate, concrete, or shaped from quarried stone.
Clay is the most common material, with modern clay bricks formed in one of three processes – soft mud, dry press, or extruded.

Normally, brick contains the following ingredients:

1. Silica (sand) – 50% to 60% by weight
2. Alumina (clay) – 20% to 30% by weight
3. Lime – 2 to 5% by weight
4. Iron oxide – 5 to 6% (not greater than 7%) by weight
5. Magnesia – less than 1% by weight

• Clay Bricks

The soft mud method is the most common, as it is the most economical. It starts with the raw clay, preferably in a mix with 25-30% sand to reduce shrinkage. The clay is first ground and mixed with water to the desired consistency. The clay is then pressed into steel moulds with a hydraulic press. The shaped clay is then fired (“burned”) at 900-1000 °C to achieve strength.

• Rail kilns

In modern brickworks, this is usually done in a continuously fired tunnel kiln, in which the bricks move slowly through the kiln on conveyors, rails, or kiln cars to achieve consistency for all bricks. The bricks often have added lime, ash, and organic matter to speed the burning.

• Bull’s Trench Kilns

In India, brick making is typically a manual process. The most common type of brick kiln in use there are Bull’s Trench Kiln (BTK), based on a design developed by British engineer W. Bull in the late nineteenth century.

An oval or circular trench, 6–9 meters wide, 2-2.5 meters deep, and 100–150 meters in circumference, is dug. A tall exhaust chimney is constructed in the centre. Half or more of the trench is filled with “green” (unfired) bricks which are stacked in an open lattice pattern to allow airflow. The lattice is capped with a roofing layer of finished brick.

In operation, new green bricks, along with roofing bricks, are stacked at one end of the brick pile; cooled finished bricks are removed from the other end for transport. In the middle the brick workers create a firing zone by dropping fuel (coal, [wood], oil, debris, etc.) through access holes in the roof above the trench.

• Dry pressed bricks

The dry press method is similar to Clay brick but starts with a much thicker clay mix, so it forms more accurate, sharper-edged bricks. The greater force in pressing and the longer burn make this method more expensive.

• Calcium silicate bricks (Fly ash Bricks)
  

The raw materials for calcium silicate bricks include lime mixed with quartz, crushed flint or crushed siliceous rock together with mineral colourants. The materials are mixed and left until the lime is completely hydrated, the mixture is then pressed into moulds and cured in an autoclave for two or three hours to speed the chemical hardening. The finished bricks are very accurate and uniform, although the sharp arrises need careful handling to avoid damage to brick (and brick-layer). The bricks can be made in a variety of colours, white is common but pastel shades can be achieved.
It is very common in Sweden, especially in houses built or renovated in the ’70s. Here it is referred to as “Mexitegel” (en: Mexi[can] Bricks).
In India these are known as Fly ash bricks, manufactured using the Falg process.

Optimal dimensions, characteristics, and strength

For efficient handling and laying bricks must be small enough and light enough to be picked up by the bricklayer using one hand (leaving the other hand free for the trowel). Bricks are usually laid flat and as a result the effective limit on the width of a brick is set by the distance which can conveniently be spanned between the thumb and fingers of one hand, normally about four inches (about 100 mm). In most cases, the length of a brick is about twice its width, about eight inches (about 200 mm) or slightly more. This allows bricks to be laid bonded in a structure to increase its stability and strength (for an example of this, see the illustration of bricks laid in English bond, at the head of this article). The wall is built using alternating courses of stretchers, bricks laid longways and headers, bricks laid crossways. The headers tie the wall together over its width.

A hastily-made wall of rough bricks without using cement or even mud in an Indian town. Only plainest type of bricks are used in India. Such constructions are often risky
A bigger brick makes for a thicker (and thus more insulating) wall. Historically, this meant that bigger bricks were necessary in colder climates (see for instance the slightly larger size of the Russian brick in table below), while a smaller brick was adequate, and more economical, in warmer regions. A notable illustration of this correlation is the Green Gate in Gdansk; built in 1571 of imported Dutch brick, too small for the colder climate of Gdansk, it was notorious for being a chilly and drafty residence. Nowadays this is no longer an issue, as modern walls typically incorporate specialized insulation materials.
The correct brick for a job can be picked from a choice of colour, surface texture, density, weight, absorption and pore structure, thermal characteristics, thermal and moisture movement, and fire resistance.

Use

Bricks are used for building and pavement. In the USA, brick pavement was found incapable of withstanding heavy traffic, but it is coming back into use as a method of traffic calming or as a decorative surface in pedestrian precincts. For example, in the early 1900s, most of the streets in the city of Grand Rapids, Michigan were paved with brick. Today, there are only about 20 blocks of brick paved streets remaining (totalling less than 0.5 percent of all the streets in the city limits).

Bricks are also used in the metallurgy and glass industries for lining furnaces. They have various uses, especially refractory bricks such as silica, magnesia, chamotte and neutral (chromomagnesite) refractory bricks. This type of brick must have good thermal shock resistance, refractoriness under load, high melting point, and satisfactory porosity. There is a large refractory brick industry, especially in the United Kingdom, Japan and the United States.
In the United Kingdom, bricks have been used in construction for centuries. Until recently, almost all houses were built almost entirely from bricks. Although many houses in the UK are now built using a mixture of concrete blocks and other materials, many houses are skinned with a layer of bricks on the outside for aesthetic appeal.

One workaround for this is to keep the users session alive by running a small snippet of code which updates a session object.

First we create a Generic Handler.Below is the code for Generic Handler(i.e. SessionAlive.ashx)

public class SessionAlive : IHttpHandler, IRequiresSessionState
{
public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
{
context.Session["KeepSessionAlive"] = DateTime.Now;
}

public bool IsReusable
{
get
{
return false;
}
}
}



public class KeepSessionAlive : IHttpHandler, IRequiresSessionState

If we didn’t inherit class from this interface, the ASP.NET Session wouldn’t be available and a null reference exception would be thrown. When you inherit a class from IHttpHandler, the main method that you use is ProcessRequest. All this method is doing is touching one ASP.NET session object simply to keep the session alive.

Now we write a javascript to call this SessionAlive.ashx code.For this we are using setInterval function.

Below is the Javascript Code

// <![CDATA[
javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js">
// ]]>

<script language=”javascript” type=”text/javascript”>

$(function() {

setInterval(KeepSessionAlive, 10000);        });

function KeepSessionAlive() {                       $.post(“/Shared/KeepSessionAlive.ashx”, null, function() {

$(“#result”).append(“<p>Session is alive and kicking!<p/>”);            });           }

</script>

<h2>Will my session die?</h2>      <div id=”result”></div>

setInterval(KeepSessionAlive, 10000); That function runs a jQuery post to the HttpHandler KeepSessionAlive.ashx:

$.post(“/Shared/KeepSessionAlive.ashx”, null, function() {

This means every 10 seconds the session will be updated behind the scenes. This will give the impression to the user that their session will not time out.

The international event will gather Internet start-ups, venture capital, speakers and observers from all over Europe!

DEMOCAMP East/West 2010 stands for the already third edition of the fair for IT and start-up branches. The first edition of DEMOCAMP was held in 2008, and in May 2009 was followed with a more international focus. The great interest from start-ups and media was to be considered as an undoubted success, and that interest proved that there were many creative and unique ideas worth promoting and showing.

Encouraged by the success of previous editions, organizer the Polak 2.0 Foundation, decided to give it a go and continue the event, as it is the only one of its kind to be organized in Central Europe.

The whole event consists of modules like presentations of invited international speakers, the start-up exhibition, ‘unconference’ sessions and presentation stands as well as a discussion panel on co-investing with venture capital.

About 400 guests and participants as well as international competitors are expected to arrive and actively participate in this year DEMOCAMP edition.

There was an increase in the amount of initiatives aiming at the Internet start-ups this year, and DEMOCAMP will be something definitely outstanding!

The activities of the first day are going to be quite exciting, as the international Internet start-up competition will take place! Open to visitors, judged by experts, the competition allows each qualified team (15 this year) to present their ideas and to prove their concepts and business models in front of the public and jury, limited by 5 minutes only presentation time.

The first day also means the discussion panel for the venture capital on co-investing, that gives the companies and support institutions an opportunity to set up new business contacts.

The second day of the DEMOCAMP is marked by the ‘unconference’ session. The formula of ‘unconference’ prescribes that the division into observers and speakers is not natural any more. As the access to knowledge is widespread and easy, everyone with correspondending experience can share and discuss it with others. Numerous ‘unconference’ sessions will be simultaneously run by the participants of the event. An ‘unconference’ session means that every interested person can take the floor and share ideas, solutions and expectations. Recommended topics are those connected with setting up and developing a start-up company and Internet marketing.

So do not wait and join DEMOCAMP today! Become part of a great international event!

Organizer

DEMOCAMP is organized by the Polak 2.0 Foundation, which was established 2008 by a Polish company netguru ltd. As an experienced organizer of open meetings and Internet-related workshops, the Foundation can be proud of events like Barcamps in its home town of Poznan (more than 20 meetings and 2000 participants in total so far!)  and 24-hour marathon for programmers Hackfest as well as 2 previous editions of DEMOCAMP that happened in only less than two years mostly helped by private donations. The Foundation is open to new experiences and ideas , and 2010 new events like ShopCamp for the Internet shops or FoodCamp for catering industry took place, and got a very positive feedback from its participants. It also recognizes the challenges that every NGO faces, and in September 2010 for the second time, it facilitated BridgeCamp to promote IT among non-governmental organizations.

DEMOCAMP will be held in Poznan, at Poznan International Fair grounds, from 22nd to 23rd October 2010.

Q: Why have you changed 10 jobs in 14 years?

A: To get financially sound and stable before getting laid off the second time.

Q: So you knew you would be laid off in the year 2009?

A: Well I was laid off first in the year 2002 due to the first global economic slowdown. I had not got a full-time job before January 2003 when the economy started looking up; so I had struggled for almost a year without job and with compromises.

Q: Which number of job was that?

A: That was my third job.

Q: So from Jan 2003 to Jan 2009, in 6 years, you have changed 8 jobs to make the count as 10 jobs in 14 years?

A: I had no other option. In my first 8 years of professional life, I had worked only for 2 organizations thinking that jobs are deserved after lot of hard work and one should stay with an employer company to justify the saying ˜employer loyalty™. But I was an idiot.

Q: Why do you say so?

A: My salary in the first 8 years went up only marginally. I could not save enough and also, I had thought that I had a ˜permanent™ job, so I need not worry about ˜what will I do if I lose my job™. I could never imagine losing a job because of economic slowdown and not because of my performance. That was January 2002.

Q: Can you brief on what happened between January 2003 and 2009.

A: Well, I had learnt my lessons of being ˜company loyal™ and not ˜money earning and saving loyal™. But then you can save enough only when you earn enough. So I shifted my loyalty towards money making and saving “ I changed 8 jobs in 6 years assuring all my interviewers about my stability.

Q: So you lied to your interviewers; you had already planned to change the job for which you were being interviewed on a particular day?

A: Yes, you can change jobs only when the market is up and companies are hiring. You tell me “ can I get a job now because of the slowdown? No. So one should change jobs for higher salaries only when the market is up because that is the only time when companies hire and can afford the expected salaries.

Q: What have you gained by doing such things?

A: That’s the question I was waiting for. In Jan 2003, I had a fixed salary (without variables) of say Rs. X p.a. In January 2009, my salary was 8X. So assuming my salary was Rs.3 lakh p.a. in Jan 2003, my last drawn salary in Jan 2009 was Rs.24 lakh p.a. (without variable). I never bothered about variable as I had no intention to stay for 1 year and go through the appraisal process to wait for the company to give me a hike.

Q: So you decided on your own hike?

A: Yes, in 2003, I could see the slowdown coming again in future like it had happened in 2001-02. Though I was not sure by when the next slowdown would come, I was pretty sure I wanted a ˜debt-free™ life before being laid off again. So I planned my hike targets on a yearly basis without waiting for the year to complete.

Q: So are you debt-free now?

A: Yes, I earned so much by virtue of job changes for money and spent so little that today I have a loan free 2 BR flat (1200 sq.. feet) plus a loan free big car without bothering about any EMIs. I am laid off too but I do not complain at all. If I have laid off companies for money, it is OK if a company lays me off because of lack of money.

Q: Who is complaining?

A: All those guys who are not getting a job to pay their EMIs off are complaining. They had made fun of me saying I am a job hopper and do not have any company loyalty. Now I ask them what they gained by their company loyalty; they too are laid off like me and pass comments to me “ why will you bother about us, you are already debt-free. They were still in the bracket of 12-14 lakh p.a. when they were laid off.

Q: What is your advice to professionals?
A: Like Narayan Murthy had said “ love your job and not your company because you never know when your company will stop loving you. In the same lines, love yourself and your family needs more than the company’s needs. Companies can keep coming and going; family will always remain the same. Make money for yourself first and simultaneously make money for the company, not the other way around.

Q: What is your biggest pain point with companies?

A: When a company does well, its CEO will address the entire company saying, ˜well done guys, it is YOUR company, keep up the hard work, I am with you. But when the slowdown happens and the company does not do so well, the same CEO will say, œIt is MY company and to save the company, I have to take tough decisions including asking people to go. So think about your financial stability first; when you get laid off, your kids will complain to you and not your boss.
