Q: Send data to Excel file using DDE I know DDE is old fashion outdated technology. But I am creating a C# Windows Form application to send data to Excel file for research purpose. I use Win32 DDE functions and below is what  I have tried so far.
Pinvoke signatures:
[DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "DdeInitialize")]
public static extern int DdeInitialize(out uint pidInst, IntPtr pfnCallback, IntPtr afCmd, IntPtr ulRes);

[DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "DdeConnect")]
private static extern IntPtr DdeConnect(uint idInst, IntPtr hszService, IntPtr hszTopic, IntPtr pCC);

[DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "DdeCreateStringHandle")]
private static extern IntPtr DdeCreateStringHandle(uint idInst, string psz, int iCodePage);

public Form1()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    Process application = new Process();
    application.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\Users\xxx\Desktop\DDE_Client.xlsx";
    application.Start();
    uint instId;
    DdeInitialize(out instId, application.MainWindowHandle, IntPtr.Zero, IntPtr.Zero);

    IntPtr sPtr = DdeCreateStringHandle(instId, "Excel", 1004);
    IntPtr tPtr = DdeCreateStringHandle(instId, "Sheet1", 1004);

    IntPtr channel = DdeConnect(instId, sPtr, tPtr, (IntPtr)null);
}

DdeConnect returns non-zero value which indicates the connection is successful.
My question:
How to send a string value to the excel sheet? For example, I want to send "Name" to excel cell A1. Which DDE function should I use for the task?

A: You are trying to use DDEML and it is indeed hard to find decent DDEML examples because many people who actually needed to use DDE had done so directly using raw Windows Messages.
You will have to first start  client transaction using DdeClientTransaction and then corresponding api like DdeGetData or DdeAddData, DdeAccessData etc to access or get the data.
You can find more details about DDEML in the MS Documentation here.
But since you are already using C# I highly recommend that it would be much better to just add a reference to the Microsoft Excel or Office Object Library  in COM Assemblies section and use Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;
using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;
Excel.Application xlApp = new Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application();

9 Ways to Craft a Kick-Ass Press Release
Writing press releases doesn't have to be difficult. Releases have been used as part of effective PR strategies by businesses for decades to announce every occasion from the creation of a new product to the company's latest philanthropic endeavor.
While radio, television, and newsprint have been the go-to outlets in times past, a new form of news release has emerged with greater efficacy than ever: the digital release. These are often shared by news distribution services such as PRWeb. A well-crafted release will be picked up by media outlets and will pique the interest of readers, causing them to click on that oh-so-important CTA, or call-to-action.
A not-so-well-crafted release, however, will be relegated to that figurative room in the basement of the internet -- you know the one...with the creaky pipes and flickering lights. That's not where you want your release to end up. What B2B PR tactics should you use to create the perfect release?
A well-crafted release will be picked up by media outlets and will pique the interest of readers CLICK TO TWEET
Let's look at how you can create the best press release strategy. We'll also answer such questions as how long should a press release be, what components are essential to your release, and how to best distribute it?
9 Steps to Create the Best Press Releases Every Time
1. Grab 'Em with the Headline
Media and bloggers are flooded with headlines every day. Make sure yours is a cut above the rest by creating one that is captivating. Headlines are also crucial for boosting click-through rates on search engines and in social media.
The perfect news release headline is around 100 characters or less. This allows people to easily scan it -- plus it has the added benefit of being the perfect length for social media!
2. Get to the Point
In other words, avoid industry jargon. Your release should be so simple and straight forward that anyone could pick it up and easily understand your news.
Forget long windups, run-on sentences and industry jargon. Get to the point within the first paragraph. And try to keep your release to one page.
Your release should be so simple and straight forward that anyone could easily understand your news CLICK TO TWEET
3. Tell 'Em Why They Should Care
It's not that you or your company is amazing (even though both may be true). The most important thing for you to highlight is what's in it for your target audience. How will someone benefit?
Research your audience ahead of time so that you can know and understand who you're addressing before you even prepare your release. For example, your target audience may be middle-aged men in the C-suite of the financial sector. Craft your release to address the concerns that come up in the course of their day-to-day business.
How to Write a News Release in the Modern Age of Journalism
4. Include At Least One Quote
Branding yourself as a thought leader is a crucial part of all B2B marketing strategies. To do this effectively, make sure your release includes at least one quote.
A quote also helps your release to appeal to your audience on a human level. Make sure the quote gives some context for the release, perhaps explaining the impact your announcement has on your industry.
5. Make it impeccable
Nothing shoots down a press release faster than spelling and grammatical errors. Such errors can spoil an otherwise perfect release, and you could even lose credibility because of it.
To that end, proofread your release several times -- hand it off to at least one other person to do the same. The human brain is an amazing machine. You may comprehend where a comma needs to be placed, or if there is a random "and", "a", or "it" missing, but your brain will automatically fill in the hole - especially if you are the writer.
Also, remember that release distribution services and news outlets are particularly stringent on grammar rules. They won't correct it for you -- if it contains any mistakes, it my get tossed into the reject pile. To be on the safe side, consult an AP style guide or even hire an editor who is versed with the current rulebook.
6. Direct the Reader
An important goal of any release is to engage readers and motivate them to act. Clarify what they should do by including a CTA. Clearly direct their attention to your CTA while using motivating and positive language.
For example, such language as Download Your Free Demo or Schedule Some Face Time with Our CEO will build anticipation for the reader and lead them to the next step.

7. Optimize for Search Engines
Search engine optimization is an integral part of crafting the perfect release -- and it is a practice that is gaining traction year after year! Choose a long-tail keyword that is appropriate for both your industry and region.
For instance, if you are a regional company, choose a keyword that reflects your demographic's location. Instead of simply using "financial services software," you might alter it to "San Francisco financial services software."
To optimize your release effectively, include a keyword in the headline, first pargraph as well as the body of the release. A rule of thumb: Your keyword density should be between 1% and 4% of your copy.

8. Engage with Visuals
We live in an increasingly visual world, where the human brain processes visuals 60,000 times faster than text! And news releases are no exception. Graphics, bullets, graphs, charts, illustrations, video will all help you to engage more people in your story.
Plus, releases with images receive 1.4 times more views than text-only releases -- a figure that bumps up to 2.8 times more views when you include a video! Well worth the investment of visual graphic creation.
How to Become More Visually Savvy in Your B2B Content
9. Add Social Sharing Links
Make it easy for readers to share your release. Convert their audience into your audience by including sharing buttons or links at the bottom of your release.
Along the same lines, consider using distribution services that specialize in distributing your release on social media. Services like Pitch Engine make it easy and effective to distribute your release to social media, while monitoring your results with its analytics dashboard.

Ready to Have Some Fun?
We're going to point fingers here for just a moment so you can see live examples of good and bad releases. We've blacked out any names to avoid embarrassment. First, the bad:
Hmmm... what's wrong with this release? It's not hard to spot the flaws, is it? If you read the first sentence out loud you probably had to stop to take a breath, or else be resuscitated. Notice the continuous use of poor grammar, the jargon-laden second paragraph, and not to mention the fact that we have no idea why this certification matters in the the first place... we could go on, but you get the point.
And now drumroll, please... Here is an example of a release that works:
Paybits did a lot of things right here. For instance...
The headline is succinct and compelling.
You want to learn more.
The subhead adds engaging detail.
The founder is quoted in the article.
Paybit's logo is prominently displayed for brand recognition
Plenty of share buttons are included.
The second paragraph sets the stage and says why people should care about the announcement.
The SlideShare at the bottom of the release provides further information.
It includes a CTA.
This is a model example of a release that gets attention and results. And now you know the secret as well!
Key Points to Remember...
Craft a release headline that is short and sweet, and captivates your audience
Avoid jargon that may confuse your readers. Instead, use simple, straightforward language
Use quotes to draw the attention of your audience and give your release a more human feel
Make sure your release is impeccable -- double and triple check for errors
Clearly, releases do not have to be antiquated or dull. They become crucial to your PR strategy when crafted to meet your goals.

Richard Moore: Ben Johnson was a handy scapegoat for drugs scandal
Claire Allfree for MetroTuesday 19 Jun 2012 3:52 pm
Richard Moore talks to Metro about his latest book, The Dirtiest Race In History, and why the 1988 Seoul Olympics 100m final provides such good material.
Richard Moore explores the drug cheating scandal in his new book (Picture: Robin Moore)
Your latest book, The Dirtiest Race In History, recounts the story of the 1988 Seoul Olympics 100m final, when Ben Johnson was stripped of his gold medal after testing positive for drugs. What interested you about this?
The race itself was one of the most extraordinary Olympic moments. I watched it, aged 15, and it was heart-stopping. But the scandal that followed was like a bomb exploding. It was the biggest story in the world, and at the centre was Ben Johnson, who was presented as a monster and Public Enemy No.1. Regardless of what he'd done, I was fascinated by this treatment and how it must have affected him.
Your book shows how the scandal went far deeper than Johnson.
Johnson was a handy scapegoat, and he is still described as 'the most reviled drugs cheat in history'. But cheating in sports was endemic, involving a lot of people, and corruption was rife.Another enduring mystery, which I explore, is why Johnson tested positive in Seoul having got away with it for so long.
What continues to make the 100m men's final so compelling?
Its brevity makes it thrilling. It's the purest test of reactions, speed, power and athleticism – though 'pure' might seem an ironic description given how tarnished it has been by drugs.
Will Usain Bolt match Carl Lewis and win a second Olympic 100m final in London this year?
I think he will but the excitement around Bolt is more about how fast he can run than whether he can win. Seoul was more exciting because there were two sprinters, Lewis and Johnson, vying for the title of 'fastest man in the world'. Imagine if there were two Usain Bolts competing in London – that's what 1988 was like. What makes a good subject for sports writing?
Fascinating people, first and foremost. Other useful ingredients are intrigue, mystery, subterfuge, skulduggery, obsession and excellence – and all feature in The Dirtiest Race In History.
The Dirtiest Race In History is published by Wisden, £18.99.

If the biceps is connected to the forearm a distance dbiceps = 2. Balled Up Biceps Secondary to Tendon Rupture. If muscle is the resistive force, then it must be acting eccentrically. If a muscle within the kinetic chain of the exercise is not doing its job during a lift, but the lift is still completed, that muscle is not being. The Evidence is Lacking for "Effective Reps" The idea that the last 5 reps before failure are "effective reps," and therefore the ones that REALLY matter for hypertrophy, doesn't actually have much experimental support. emphasized that muscles produce a force only in contraction, that is, during a shortening of the muscle bundle.

Second, note the relationship between joint action, FMG developing force, and muscle action. Examine the factors that influence a muscle's ability to produce force Consider how muscle architecture is specialized to optimize a muscle's ability to produce force or joint motion Demonstrate how an understanding of these factors can be used clinically to optimize a person's performance. 2 cm from the pivot point. I believe the difference is in the geometry of joints. If the skeletal relationships they maintain are motionless, then their primary function is to exert force while allowing no position change, and to do this they must remain the same length under whatever load the spine must be stable against.

(Scroll down for video) A drunken teenage father killed his six-month-old baby girl, Sailor Serenity Raine Kuhn, because she cried too much.
Dylan Kuhn, 19, pleaded guilty to manslaughter after throwing his baby onto the bed on November 1, 2011, after partying with friends the night before on Halloween.
Kuhn admitted that after a night of partying he aggressively threw his daughter on the bed. She had been crying and he did not know how to get her to be quiet, so he became frustrated.
"I told her to shut up and slammed her on the mattress," the father said. Later, she was found dead.
The medical examiner declared that the child died of trauma related to being banged against a soft, but unyielding surface.
Kuhn still lives with his girlfriend April Coleman, who is the mother of the baby.
The maximum sentence could have been four years in prison. Judge Walker sentenced Kuhn to 3 months behind bars, an evaluation and treatment for his mental health and ordered him not to be allowed to be alone with children under the age of 10. He was also ordered to pay court costs and possible restitution.
The judge strongly believed that a long prison sentences cause criminals to repeat their offenses more often rather than deter them.
The defense attorney showed the video recording of Kuhn's first interview with prosecutors after his arrest, which showed Kuhn crying through the entire interview.
He first told them that the baby had fallen off the couch, but changed his story after being told the evidence did not support his claim.
"I didn't mean to hurt her, I did put her in her bed too hard," he said in the recorded interview.
After being sentenced, an emotional Kuhn spoke to the court.
"I loved my daughter very much. I am very sorry. I was told I was too young to raise her, and that turned out to be true, I am sorry to everyone. I can't bring her back," he said weeping.


In Saito sensei's method, that exercise, called sokumen irimi nage in Aikikai, must be executed with a 180° rotation.
That's perfect. The beginner learns this way how to execute a rotation, lower his gravity center and stabilise his hips.
But these are simplified work conditions for the training needs. It is obvious in the video that executing sokumen irimi nage in such way is irrelevant in a context of multiple attacks.
But we must never forget O sensei's teaching: in Aikido a technique can't work on only one opponent, it must work - without changing anything - against several opponents attacking simultaneously.
If the 180° rotation can't answer to a group attack, it is because, in reality, the rotation must go up to 270° : * it is only at 270° that uke becomes light and is put in motion and it is only at 270° that tori leaves the dangerous zone*.
This rotation - and that is important - is nothing else but what aikidokas commonly execute in tai no henka.

Chances are that many of the foods you are eating has been genetically engineered. This fact is even more applicable if it has been fried in canola, corn, cottonseed, or soy oil. Most Americans are consuming massive quantities of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) in their food. GMOs were first approved by the FDA for food crops in 1994. Since then the number of FDA approvals for GMO crops has steadily increased.
How are transgenic or genetically engineered (GE) crops approved?
The USDA/Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) issues permits for field trials, and later for general environmental release of GE crops. If the GE crop contains a pesticide, as is the case for Bt crops, approval is also required by the Environmental Protection Agency. If the product from a transgenic crop is for food or feed use, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) must give final approval before the crops can be grown commercially.
How many and what kind of GE (GMO) crops have been approved?
As of August, 2012, there have been a total of 144 crops approved by the FDA. The most widely and rapidly adopted transgenic crops in the United States are those with herbicide-tolerant traits. Of the 144 crops approved by the FDA, 75% have been genetically engineered to either withstand direct applications of herbicides or they contain an insecticide Bt toxin, or both. In the mid-'90s, scientists figured out how to combine more than one trait in the same plant. These were first released in 1997 and are called "stacked gene traits." The crops that have been approved are summarized in the table below, along with a partial list of food products and other uses for each type of crop. Any or all of these products can be found in packaged foods and drinks: cereals, energy bars, chips, juices etc.
How prevalent are these transgenic crops in the food supply?
Percent of GE crops grown in U.S.
It could be argued that not all of these crops are grown for human consumption. Some are grown for animal feed. But the percentage of the crops grown for animal feed are still in the food supply in the form of meat, eggs, milk and milk products. Some of these crops are grown for bio-fuels and textiles. But as long as the amount used for non-food products are taken randomly from the supply, the percentage does not change. Only if most or all of the GE corn and soy are used for bio-fuels, for example, would the overall percentage change. The same is true for the cotton.
Are you eating GMO every day?
You have been eating GMO's in steadily increasing amounts since 1996. If your diet consists of a lot of corn, soy, potato, sugar, or packaged foods, you are eating a great deal of GMO's.


NEW YORK, June 2, 2007 (AFP) – US authorities said Saturday they foiled an Islamic terrorist plot to bomb fuel supplies and pipelines at John F. Kennedy airport, averting a potentially catastrophic attack and "unthinkable" carnage at and around the massive airfield.
Four suspected Islamic extremists — including Abdul Kadir, a former member of Guyana's parliament — have been charged over the alleged plot, which officials said had links to international terrorist cells in the Caribbean and South America but was foiled well before it could be carried out.
"Had the plot been carried out, it could have resulted in unfathomable damage, deaths, and destruction," US Attorney Roslynn Mauskopf said, telling reporters in New York the plan was "one of the most chilling plots imaginable," barely three weeks after the arrest of six suspected Islamic radicals on charges of plotting to attack a US military base in New Jersey.
"The devastation that would be caused had this plot succeeded is just unthinkable," she stressed.
The plot allegedly tapped into Jamaat Al Muslimeen, described by justice officials as an international network of Muslim extremists from the United States, Guyana, and Trinidad.

Student Organ of the University of the South
Though SUT remains broken, film interest continues
April 15, 2013 thesewaneepurple News Leave a comment
By Taylor Morris
John Lampley (C '16) summed up the student opinion when he said, "the SUT has become my favorite place to go to be disappointed." The Sewanee Union Theatre's historic projector has been out of commission since Jan. 20, when its scheduled showing of Pitch Perfect eliminated the theatre's weekly Wednesday and weekend events, leaving film buffs with little prospects of stimulation. Due to the necessary replacement part's discontinuation, repairs have been significantly delayed. Replacement of the projector with a newer, digital model has been discussed, though the SUT has remained silent to the general public since apologizing for any inconvenience caused by the malfunction.
Despite this recent depression in official cinema activities, film still continues to play an important role on Sewanee's campus. Recently, Students Positively Organized Together (SPOT) hosted a viewing of the latest James Bond flick, the Academy-Award winning Skyfall, and the weekly series, "Blades, Bows, and Bushido" continues to screen such classics as Kurosawa's Seven Samurai in the Gailor Language Lab.
In addition to the various viewing opportunities around campus, ideas for a new student organization, the Film Society, have also been started to encourage student participation in film theory and production. The society tentatively intends to hold film showings and discussions, it also plans to potentially participate in collegiate competitions and host a film festival with Sewanee student contributions. Select students have also been in talks with professors in the University's film studies department concerning increased amounts and re-instatement of some of the department's events and courses. More news on this front will be reported as it is becomes available. Though the SUT is temporarily damaged, students and professors continue to support the entertainment industry and consider its effects on our society.

A couple weeks ago I mentioned three things I had underway: my Designing Weavers piece addressing opposites, preparations for my Exploring Twills workshop, and the samples for the window shades.
November 17 & 18 was the twill workshop out in the Central Valley of California, and it was a great time. First, I had good weather for the drive out to Exeter, CA. Second, the Handweavers of the Valley are a lively and fun group of weavers.
I stayed with Judy Trimble at her beautiful home in Porterville. Her children are grown and she lives alone. Judy's house has a room with two looms in it, just as every house should have, don't you think?
There were 15 in the workshop, all at different levels of experience, and I had a great time spending two days with them.
I haven't been able to work on the window shade samples. The week after the workshop was Thanksgiving week, which included Irv's and my 25th wedding anniversary.
and here is the second token, which I'll be shipping soon.
It seems there are always side projects. This is one of the eight harness twills from my workshop. It will be a scarf, and it will be a gift for our Chanukah party on December 8th.
This loom is sitting on a folding table in my dining room, and there's another one on the dining table. So I not only need to finish the scarf as a gift for the party, but I'll also need to get the looms out of the dining room so people can sit down to eat. And there's a Baby Wolf in the living room I'll be wheeling into my daughter's bedroom. One of these years I should just leave all of the looms out and have everyone take turns weaving on them during the party. Wouldn't that be fun?
