New Tweeting Tree Is Climate Change Storyteller
This month, Harvard Forest launched the first tweeting tree in North America.
The project has been years in the making. The 100-year-old red oak tree first came into the spotlight in 2017, as the focal point for the climate change book Witness Tree, written by visiting Bullard Fellow Lynda Mapes. In 2018, post-doctoral fellow Tim Rademacher (from Northern Arizona University and Harvard Forest) installed sensors in and around the tree, hoping to continue Mapes' storytelling mission through data-driven stories on social media.
In 2018, students began contributing to the social media project: Kyle Wyche and Shawna Greyeyes from the Harvard Forest Summer Research Program and Alexa Rice from the Harvard Divinity School joined Rademacher and HF Outreach Director Clarisse Hart to write program code and formulate multimedia messages that would allow the tree to tweet about its growth, sap flow, and changing environment in real time.
Since its launch on Twitter in July 2019, the Harvard Forest Witness Tree has become a sensation, engaging thousands of followers from around the world.
Future plans for the project include a Facebook account for the tree, French and Spanish versions of the project, and a tool-kit for educators to create their own tweeting trees.
Funding for the project is provided in part by the National Science Foundation.

Actress Gabrielle Union reaches settlement with NBC following accusations of workplace toxicity
in Life Style
A 'German superfood' for every month of the year
American actress and activist Gabrielle Union (left) has reached a settlement with broadcast network NBC following her accusations of workplace toxicity on reality competition series America's Got Talent (2006 to present).
The 47-year-old star of films like Bring It On (2000) was a judge on the series last year, but was replaced after only one season.
Following her exit, Union told entertainment magazine Variety that she witnessed toxic behaviour on set, such as racist comments from talk-show host and guest judge Jay Leno and a contestant who used blackface as part of his performance.
She also recounted an incident in which fellow judge and series creator Simon Cowell smoked on a closed sound stage near Union, who is severely allergic to cigarette smoke.
She filed a harassment complaint against the show in June and also said that former NBC Entertainment chairman Paul Telegdy, who was recently ousted from the organisation after allegations of racist, sexist and homophobic behaviour, threatened her for speaking out against the work culture at America's Got Talent.
The dust seems to have settled as NBC and Union said in a joint statement that the two parties have "reached an amicable resolution".

The Leadership Cayman class tackled the issue of the environment for their latest seminar, 'Infrastructure and the Environment,' on Wednesday, May 30.
The class was tasked with gaining a better understanding of public systems in the Cayman Islands, as well as the services and facilities that are necessary in maintaining and promoting sustainable economic development and the protection of the local environment.
The group met early in the morning to visit the George Town landfill, where they saw first-hand how it is managed. The group learned more about how the landfill has developed over the years, as well as how its recycling centre seeks to make disposal of waste greener and more eco-friendly.
Mr. Nicholas Robson; Vice President, C.R.E.A.
After speaking in breakout groups, the group shared their thoughts with one another and the guest panel, discussing environmental challenges and developments in greater detail.
"The Cayman Islands is poised to become a leader in the adoption of renewable energy in the coming years," said Mr. Whittaker.
"Through some very insightful conversations in a great forum, we were also able to discuss the importance of our individual actions in dealing with the Cayman Islands' solid waste, and the opportunities that we currently have as consumers to be part of the solution," she added.
Class members Adam Lambert and Casandra Morris acted as moderators for the seminar, with support from programme graduate and seminar mentor Garth Arch.
The Chamber would like to thank Cox Lumber Ltd. and RBC Royal Bank (Cayman) Ltd. for supporting Leadership Cayman as major programme partners. They would also like to thank Island Paving for serving as the seminar sponsor.

Home / Biography / John Stanley
Blinded at age group 2, John Stanley started desultory music lessons when he was 7 and, after a false begin, advanced so quickly that he was produced organist at a nearby church when he was only 12. Stanley would grow up to be the leading British organist of his time and a significant amount in London's musical picture, not merely as an instrumentalist but also being a composer in the Handel design. Stanley increased quickly in the British organ world; currently a veteran from the loft at age group 22, he was produced organist towards the Honourable Culture from the Inner Temple in 1734. His shows of his personal body organ voluntaries there with additional churches drew huge audiences more interested in the music compared to the liturgy. He previously academic credentials, as well; in 1729 he previously end up being the youngest person ever to have obtained a bachelor's of music level from Oxford. Stanley wedded well in 1738; not merely do his wife provide a considerable dowry, but she brought a sister who eventually are Stanley's amanuensis. Stanley would create a fair quantity of his personal music, but he backed himself mainly like a performer. He carried out many Handel oratorios through the last decade of this composer's existence, and been successful Handel in 1759 as co-director from the Lenten oratorio time of year at Covent Backyard (oratorios changed operas during Lent). Stanley offered several his personal oratorios because of this series, however they had been too imitative from the lifeless Handel to accomplish much achievement. Among his additional visits and honors was being successful William Boyce as Grasp from the King's Music group of Music artists in 1779, which led him to compose greater than a dozen birthday and New 12 months odes for standard ceremonies. In his compositional design, Stanley was a transitional physique between Handel and J.C. Bach; the switch is seen by evaluating Stanley's Opus 2 concertos, which quite definitely adopted the Handel/Corelli model, to his even more elegant, much less fugal, pre-Classical Opus 10 concertos of some three years later. His body organ voluntaries, alternatively, all composed pretty early in his profession, are clearly animals from the English Baroque period, hewing to regular formats and needing instruments of just modest resources.

"Value - Appropriately priced, great deal for your money. I enjoy the location and the size of the units. The woodwork is great and the lockers/shelving is handcrafted. I am storing beer and, just like wine, it cannot deal with big temperature swings. Corkscrews provided me a solution.
Performance- Brooks is always available and willing to go above and beyond to make sure the facility is maintained and that his clients are well taken care of.
Ease of Use - Access to the building has never been a problem and the amount of safety precautions and preventative measures are very reassuring.
Features - I enjoy the proximity to I-25 and the ability to stop in whenever is convenient for me. The tasting room adds a very welcoming aesthetic when you enter the facility and I cannot wait to participate in the activities to come there.
Criticism - I have no criticisms with Corkscrews storage units, access, security or pricing. Great job folks, you know what you are doing!

'Art and Suffrage'
Anyone with an interest in the history of women's suffrage in the UK will surely have come across historian and writer Elizabeth Crawford. Her two key books, The Women's Suffrage Movement: A Regional Survey and The Women's Suffrage Movement: A Reference Guide are indispensable to anyone interested in researching the women who campaigned in their own area... and were absolutely essential tools when researching my own recent book, The Women Who Built Bristol (to which Elizabeth also generously contributed several entries).
As well as these reference guides, Elizabeth has authored a number of other books, and the one that I recommend to absolutely everybody (if you're only going to pick one) is Campaigning for the Vote: Kate Parry Frye's Suffrage Diary, which I wrote about a few years ago upon publication. You can also watch a video of Elizabeth talking about Kate here (and see the back of my head throughout, sorry about that!).
Now, published in February to coincide with the centenary of when (some) women received the vote, Elizabeth has published Art and Suffrage: A Biographical Dictionary of Suffrage Artists.
This beautiful, fully illustrated new book covers the lives of more than 100 suffrage artists (mostly women), many of whom I did not previously know about although their artworks were largely familiar to me. So it was truly fascinating to read the stories about the people who created these important pieces of suffrage propaganda and merchandise, and to read about how these artworks came to be and the reasons behind them. It adds a whole new level to my understanding of the imagery of the suffrage campaign. Because, of course, it is hard to imagine a political campaign that was more visual than the suffrage one.
You can visit Elizabeth's website here, and her publisher's website here to buy the book.

'Mollie on the March'
'Mollie on The March' by Anna Carey
Hurrah, Mollie Carberry is back! You may recall that last November I wrote on the first instalment from YA writer Anna Carey about the schoolgirl suffragette in Dublin. The good news then was that Anna was close to finishing the second book in the series, and the better news is that now that book - Mollie on the March - is published.
Picking up where The Making of Mollie left off, Anna reunites us with our teenage shero who is still fired up from secretly painting a postbox with suffrage slogans alongside her best friend Nora. This time, Mollie and Nora are keen to be even more militant in their actions and to join Mollie's big sister Phyllis and her suffragette friends on marches and demonstrations when Prime Minister Asquith makes his visit to Dublin. Except, in the new book, Mollie and her crew get into far bigger and more daring but exciting scrapes.
Adding a fly to the ointment is Nora's wretched goody-two-shoes cousin Grace, who we met in the first book as a nuisance at school. This time, Grace has come to stay with Nora for the summer... and Nora and Mollie are determined not to let Grace find out about their suffrage plans for fear she will stop them taking action. Although there's a new side to Grace that readers may not be expecting...
As before, Anna uses real historical events as the basis for her storytelling, as well as peppering a few real-life characters into the background. And as before, the overall effect is one of magically capturing the moment and enveloping her reader in the scene.
I hope we see more books about Mollie and Nora in the future. Bravo, Anna!

Q: What the heck is going on with my cron scheduler? (rsnapshot) CRONTABS
I'm using rsnapshot with cron. Here's what sudo crontab -l shows me.
0 */4           * * *   /usr/bin/rsnapshot hourly
30 3    * * *           /usr/bin/rsnapshot daily
0  3    * * 1           /usr/bin/rsnapshot weekly

OUTPUT
I went to check on the backup folder to see if everything is working correctly, but here is the time sorted output:
elijah@degas:~$ ls -lt /media/backup/
total 0
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 30 04:00 hourly.1
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 23 04:00 hourly.2

drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Apr 27 10:09 weekly.1
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Apr 25 07:23 weekly.3

The output seems almost random! Why could this be happening? I have what I thought was an identical configuration on a different machine, and it seems to be working fine.

A: This original advice applies only to Debian-based distributions:
The two crontab segments you've shown are not the same crontab. So your jobs are running twice (once from /etc/cron.d/rsnapshot and once from crontab -l).
Remove one set, for example with sudo crontab -r, and it'll start working properly.

The next suggestion is to ensure that sync_first is not set in the /etc/rsnapshot.conf file. (Or if it is, that it's 0.) Otherwise although the cycling of rsnapshot directories will occur, no backup will actually get taken without an explicit rsnapshot sync command.

A: After some extended discussion it appears that the filesystem may corrupted. As an example, rm -rf fails - as root - on a normal tree of files.
After unmounting the filesystem, fsck identified it as NTFS.
Frustratingly I have seen NTFS fail on other Linux-based platforms under the heavy loads incurred from rsnapshot. There's nothing sufficiently repeatable with which a bug can be filed, but a week's worth of rsnapshots can usually corrupt the filesystem.
My recommendation is to replace the NTFS filesystem with something native to a Linux-based system, such as ext4. As an aside, if the backups must be accessed from a Windows platform, I have had good use from the Ext2FSD utility and driver for extN filesystems (also at sourceforge).

Guido Krause (* 27. März 1964) war Fußballspieler beim 1. FC Magdeburg, für den er von 1982 bis 1991 in der DDR-Oberliga, der höchsten Fußballklasse des ostdeutschen Fußballverbandes, spielte.

Mit sieben Jahren begann Guido Krause in der Knabenmannschaft des 1. FC Magdeburg Fußball zu spielen. Er durchlief alle obligatorischen Nachwuchsmannschaften, bis er zur Saison 1982/83 noch als Schüler in den Kader der Oberligamannschaft als nomineller Stürmer aufgenommen wurde. Obwohl er bereits am 18. September 1982 im Pokalspiel bei Stahl Brandenburg in der 1. Mannschaft zum Einsatz gekommen war, musste er auf seinen ersten Oberligaeinsatz bis zum 16. April 1983 warten. In der Begegnung des 21. Spieltages Chemie Böhlen – 1. FCM wurde er in 86. Minute für Jürgen Pommerenke eingewechselt. Ansonsten spielte Krause für den FCM in der Nachwuchsoberliga. Zur Saison 1983/84 wurde die Nachwuchsoberliga aufgelöst, und deren Mannschaften wurde als 2. Mannschaft in die jeweilige drittklassige Bezirksliga eingegliedert. Krause wurde für die Mannschaft 1. FC Magdeburg II nominiert, trotzdem wurde er in dieser Spielzeit auch sechsmal in der Oberliga aufgeboten. Er kam jedoch wieder nur in allen Spielen als Einwechselspieler zum Einsatz. In den Spielzeiten 1984/85 bis 1986/87 war Krause zur BSG Motor Schönebeck ausdelegiert, mit der er von 1986 bis 1987 in der zweitklassigen DDR-Liga spielte. Im Sommer kehrte Krause zum 1. FC Magdeburg zurück, wurde zunächst für die 2. Mannschaft nominiert, absolvierte aber auch wieder fünf Punktspiele mit der Oberligamannschaft. Er stand zwar stets in der Anfangself, spielte aber nie über die vollen 90 Minuten. Erst in der Saison 1988/89 tauchte er wieder im offiziellen Oberliga-Kader, nun als Sportstudent geführt, als Stürmer auf. Inzwischen 24 Jahre alt, schien bei ihm der Knoten geplatzt zu sein, denn er kam in dieser Spielzeit auf zehn Erstligaspiele. Am 20. Spieltag, in der Begegnung 1. FCM – Energie Cottbus, bestritt er sein einziges 90-Minuten-Spiel in der DDR-Oberliga. 1989/90 war Krauses letzte Saison in der DDR-Oberliga, er kam noch einmal in zehn Punktspielen zum Einsatz, wieder nur als Wechselspieler. Innerhalb von acht Jahren kam er damit auf insgesamt 32 DDR-Oberliga-Spiele, dabei erzielte er zwei Tore. Zu Beginn der Saison 1991/92 bestritt Krause noch fünf Spiele in der damals drittklassigen NOFV-Oberliga, anschließend tauchte er im höherklassigen Fußball nicht mehr.

What comes to your mind when you hear the word hacking? That it is something illegal? But, here we are talking about ethical hacking which is very much legal. It is done in companies to ensure if the system in place is fool-proof. For this, they employ an ethical hacker who does the job for them.
The certification to be taken to be a certified ethical hacker is called CEH certification. To apply for this certification, you need basic knowledge in networking, expertise in C++ or Java and knowledge of UNIX. There are a number of job prospects for a certified ethical hacker, some of which are given below.
Ethical hacker is a networking and computer expert who tries to break into a network or computer system of a company on behalf of the owners. This uncovers the security vulnerabilities existing in the system that could be exploited by a malicious user. These are then reported to the company officials along with actions to be taken.
A network security engineer maintains the security of networking systems. He assures that the system is able to come back to life even after problems caused by natural disasters, hacker attacks or other means. He assesses enterprise class networks and suggests mitigation strategies and works to redesign the network if necessary.
A computer forensics investigator works with private firms and law enforcement agencies to recover information from computers and other data storage devices. He tries to retrieve the information from devices damaged or corrupted by viruses or hacking. The job is very demanding and he must have the willingness to work for long hours and patience so that the data is not lost before it can be recovered.
A security auditor is hired by a company to provide an audit of security systems of the company. Once this is done, he provides a detailed report of information systems to the company. This helps the organization to make changes wherever necessary so that the integrity is improved. He can either work alone or as part of a team.
Also called data security specialists, data security analysts plan and execute the protection of data on the networks and computes in an organization. They work with the company employees and educate them on security protocol. They usually work under an information technology manager.
He is the senior manager in an organization who maintains the enterprise strategy and vision to ensure that the technologies and information assets are properly protected. He aids the staff in developing, implementing and maintaining processes that reduce information risks. Basically, he is responsible for information-related compliance.
Becoming a certified ethical hacker can make you security experts in organizations. After applying for the certification, you can join an ethical hacking course in Delhi which would give you the required knowledge and skills to pass the exam.

On page one of Songs About the New Year we heard the original version of this song, but here's Ella's: like only she can deliver.
This curious little New Years number has a pretty interesting and somewhat unlikely lineup: first off, it's written by the great Randy Newman. Singer Beverley Martyn is accompanied by pianist Nicky Hopkins (Rolling Stones, Kinks, etc.), Led Zepplin's John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page, and Andrew "Andy" White, a Scottish drummer, best known for replacing Ringo Starr on drums on The Beatles' first single, "Love Me Do". Released 1966. Wow.
Roosevelt Sykes has a few New Years resolutions. He's gonna quit drinking and gambling, and start praying. Yeah, right.

Watch Blade Runner 2049, The Foreigner, Marshall, and more
Posted on December 26, 2017 Author E Yang
Plus, watch our End of the World Collection for free
Don't be a repli-cant, be a repli-can
Because now that you can watch Blade Runner 2049 on Vudu there's no excuse.
The long-awaited sequel to the sci-fi, cult classic Blade Runner has earned itself a 4.3 rating on Vudu and 87% on Rotten Tomatoes, making it as much a fan favorite as the original. And maybe, just maybe, it finally answers the question of whether Deckard is a human or replicant – but you'll have to watch to find out.
The movie takes place 30 years after the first, and you can make sure you can enjoy this movie 30 years from now too by getting it in 4K + HDR (HDR10 and Dolby Vision) It's the same price as HDX, so why not? That means, even if Santa didn't drop a 4K TV down your chimney, you can get the 4K UHD version now and watch in HDX until you get your 4K upgrade.
The hardest working man in kung-fu
He's a foreigner, but he's no stranger to action. In The Foreigner, Jackie Chan is a hot-blooded headknocker who's as cold as ice, and he'll fight for you. Yes, the legend himself, Jackie Chan, is back from his side job of teaching the Lego Ninjago squad and we're excited to report that he's in top form.
This movie is also a peek at the more serious side of Chan. Seeing Chan take on action in a less campy form (and against a former 007 nonetheless) is refreshing and works really well. And for those of you wondering, even at 63, he's still taking on his own stunts – and is even a Guinness Book of World Records holder for the most stunts performed by a living actor.
The jury is in – watch marshall
Marshall is a biographical film on Thurgood Marshall. But rather than trying to do too much by covering his whole life, the movie choses to focus on a single case during his time as counsel for the NAACP. This makes for a great courtroom drama that gives us a much more interesting movie about the man who would later become the first African-American Supreme Court Justice.
And if Thurgood Marshall looks familiar, that's probably because he's not just a superhero in the courtroom, but also in Wakanda, the mythical kingdom of the Black Panther. So look for Chadwick Boseman on the big screen in February 2018 (and don't forget to pre-order on Vudu).
If "IT" wasn't enough
The Creeper is back in Jeepers Creepers 3, but this time he better be ready for a fight. The town is finally ready to join up to try and kill the demon once and for all – but can they do it? The Creeper eats people and has done so for thousands of years, but the townsfolk have machine guns, so, in our mind, it's a toss-up. Put in your vote and watch today.
Nightworld takes place in Bulgaria. Which is pretty much all you need to know since everything is always creepier when it takes place in Bulgaria. It has got all the horror elements: an old apartment with a past shrouded in mystery, a creepy former caretaker (Robert Englund aka Freddy Kruger), and a secret room shielded by two giant doors with ominous carvings – oh and Bulgaria.
New rentals – get 30 days to start
Flatliners is anything but flat. With a solid 3.6 rating by the Vudu community, this remake of the 1990s version brings us a whole new slew of med students playing God. And it's now available for rent.
Man of the moment, Idris Elba, is back in the drama/romance, The Mountain Between Us. Following a plane crash in the remote Idaho wilderness, Elba and Kate Winslet rely on each other to survive. Based on a 2011 novel by Charles Martin.
Finally, from the brilliantly twisted mind of Yorgos Lanthimos (The Lobster, Dogtooth) comes Killing of a Sacred Deer. It's a dark thriller that's absurd and insane, yet totally believable. It's as bold as his previous movies and not to be missed for fans of Lanthimos' work.
It's The End of the World, but at least it's free
Christmas is over, and what better way to close out 2017 than with some free movies in our End of the World Collection.
First, there's the classic dystopian action movie, The Running Man – which just so happens to take place in 2017. (The future is now!) While society hasn't degraded to that point yet (thankfully), you can see what it'd be like if it did for free with Movies On Us.
You can also check out cult classic, Tank Girl. It's got all the angst of the 90s wrapped up in a post-apocalyptic action movie – complete with a 90s angst driven soundtrack (we're looking for our flannel and Docs as we speak). Sure Baby Driver, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Atomic Blonde have great soundtracks, but Tank Girl has Bjork, Devo, Hole, Ice-T, Veruca Salt, and more!

Q: The returning light beam that is perpendicular to Earth's motion How did Michelson and Morley compensate for the fact that the returning light beam that is perpendicular to Earth's motion would not arrive at the same point that it left the half-silvered mirror?

The Earth is traveling in the direction of the M2 mirror. The light from the half-silvered mirror that hits mirror M1 is not going to return to the half-silvered mirror at exactly the same point since light is independent of the motion of its source.
How is this compensated for? Does this make any real difference?

A: In the MM experiment, it does not actually matter whether the light beams are exactly perpendicular: what matters is that the light traveling along one "leg" would experience the ether drag head-on, while the other would experience it from the side. As the table rotates, the effect of the ether (if it exists) would shift from one arm to the other, and would result in a shift in the fringes.
In the frame of reference of the experiment, light travels in straight lines, and when reflected from a mirror that is perpendicular to the beam, will come back in the direction it came from.
A stationary observer might see that the light is coming in at an angle, and that the resulting beam is therefore describing a "V". But the beam splitter is moving at the same speed as the rest of the experiment, and therefore the beam arrives, in the lab frame, at the point that it came from.
No adjustment needed to be made.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLqzpxSY7XU
Momoiro Clover Z is a Japanese idol group. It is commonly abbreviated as MCZ or Momoclo. The five members of MCZ are known for energetic performances, incorporating elements of ballet, gymnastics, and action movies. MCZ are the first female group to hold a solo concert at National Olympic Stadium in Japan. They are the only group to provide theme music for three major Japanese anime television series with worldwide distribution: Sailor Moon, Dragon Ball Z and Pokémon.

In 2013, MCZ grossed the fourth highest total sales revenue by a music artist in Japan, with over 5.2 billion yen. During 2016, about 636 thousand people attended their live concerts, the most ever for a Japanese female group. MCZ has been ranked as the most popular female Japanese idol group from 2013 to 2016. MCZ has collaborated with other performers, including a 2015 recording with American hard rock band KISS, marking KISS' first ever collaborative recording. In 2016, their first overseas tour titled Trans America Ultra Live was held in Hawaii, Los Angeles and New York.Members
On stage, Momoiro Clover Z members are easily distinguished by the colors of their clothes, similar to the characters from Power Rangers (known as Super Sentai in Japan). In some songs and music videos, the group loosely parodies them.

Q: Can promise mechanism replace event system in Angular We all know the event system is very important for every popular JavaScript frameworks, and many famous frameworks provide promise mechanism such as Jquery, DoJo, too.
But AngularJS is special:

*

*it provides promise methods.

*it provides event methods for DOM elements with JqLite and for $scope with $emit/$broadcast. It seems that Angular suggests to use the watch in service.

My question is when a service's data model is:

*

*a very huge list so it is hard to watch

*shared by many other controllers or directives so the promise seems not enough.

So, can I use a the event mechanism to let the service broadcast its data change? Or there is other better solutions.

A:
Can promise mechanism replace event system

In general, NO. Promises do per definition only resolve once and do not change their value thereafter. If you want to emit multiple events, you cannot use promises (or only quite impractible).

Q: Define Bluetooth permissions for a standard Console App in WinRT/C++ I'm working on a WinRT/C++ application that uses Windows APIs to access to RFCOMM Bluetooth and looks for nearby devices. Then I try to create a service in order to create a connection, so I run:
RfcommDeviceService service = RfcommDeviceService::FromIdAsync(currId).get();

However, the FromIdAsync method returns NULL since, according to the documentation:

If a store app has not declared the right capabilities or the user does not grant consent, the method returns a null object.

The solutions I found online all require to add a <Capabilities> tag to the Package.appxmanifest file. However, I do not have such file, since I'm working on a standard Console app.
Is there another way to grant permissions to my app? Alternatively, can I include manually a Package.appxmanifest file so that I can access the Bluetooth? Or I am completely missing the point here and the error is caused by something else?
EDIT: Minimal reproducible example:
// Store all the devices
vector<DeviceInformation> devices;
// Replace targetAddress with Bluetooth address to pair
string targetAddress = "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX";

// AQS string for RFCOMM devices
hstring selectorString = to_hstring("System.Devices.DevObjectType:=5 AND System.Devices.Aep.ProtocolId:=\"{E0CBF06C-CD8B-4647-BB8A-263B43F0F974}\" AND((System.Devices.Aep.IsPaired: = System.StructuredQueryType.Boolean#True OR System.Devices.Aep.IsPaired: = System.StructuredQueryType.Boolean#False) OR System.Devices.Aep.Bluetooth.IssueInquiry: = System.StructuredQueryType.Boolean#False)");
// Create watcher
DeviceWatcher deviceWatcher = DeviceInformation::CreateWatcher(selectorString);

// Callback function for event handling
auto OnAddedDevice = [](DeviceWatcher watcher, DeviceInformation deviceInfo)
{
    devices.push_back(deviceInfo);
};

// New Bluetooth device detected -> callback
deviceWatcher.Added(OnAddedDevice);

// Start watcher
deviceWatcher.Start();
std::cout << "Performing device scan...\n" << endl;

Sleep(4000);

// Stop scanning
deviceWatcher.Stop();

// Print results
for (int i = 0; i < devices.size(); i++) {
    string name = to_string(devices[i].Name());
    string address = getAddress(devices[i]);

    std::cout << "(" << address << ")" << "\t" << name << endl;
}

std::cout << endl;

// Look for target device among the scanned ones
for (int i = 0; i < devices.size(); i++) {
    string address = getAddress(devices[i]);

    // Match found
    if (address == targetAddress) {
        // Get ID
        auto currId = devices[i].Id();

        // Create Service [HERE, FROM IDASYNC RETURNS NULL]
        RfcommDeviceService service = RfcommDeviceService::FromIdAsync(currId).get();

        // Try to get information about the created service [LAUCHES EXCEPTION SINCE service IS NULL]
        auto protectionLevel = service.ProtectionLevel();
    }
}

Helper function getAddress is used to parse the device ID
string getAddress(DeviceInformation device) {
    string id = to_string(device.Id());
    string address = "";
    for (int i = 37; i < id.length(); i++) {
        address += toupper(id[i]);
    }
    return address;
}

Hotel management companies have teams of people who need quick and easy access to information about assets across many different locations. Asset Panda's Asset Tracking and Management Platform helps you access the right information, in the right way, at the right time—so that you can work smarter.
After all, your teams work with your assets in lots of different ways and they need access to information about those assets in a way that not only doesn't impede workflow, but makes that workflow more productive. Whether using Asset Panda online or through our free Mobile App, our intuitive interface makes it easy to work from anywhere, on devices you're already using. No need for spreadsheets, expensive hardware scanners and expensive software.
Asset Panda helps you configure depreciation or inflation settings to easily manage and track depreciation on all or select assets. Set parameters to calculate depreciation based on the straight-line depreciation method and asset inflation on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis.
Determining the value of an asset typically varies based on three primary factors: when it was purchased, what purpose it serves, and whether it is leased or owned. It's essential to understand the impact of upgrades and repairs on depreciation and value. Even though you can't turn around and sell your assets like you would sell gold or antiques, your assets do have value and often they are the parts of the business in which financial lending institutions are most interested.
As a business owner, you must understand precisely what you own, how long you've had it, and how much it's worth. An easy mistake to make is to estimate how much your assets are worth by referencing the amount you paid for it. If you've under estimated, insurance companies, lending institutions, and even the government probably won't tell you if it increases the amount you owe them. (Of course, you're sure to hear from them if you underestimate the value and they find out.) And if you're dealing with the government, you can also count on additional fees and fines slapped on for good measure.
Asset Panda is highly configurable so it can become whatever you need it to be. It puts everything you need to know about your assets in one place so you can access that information at any time, from anywhere, on your smartphone, tablet or computer. Track repairs, upgrades, and damage. Prepare and print reports. Save time over using ledger and paper.
You might be considering a hospitality asset management expert, but keep in mind that you'll need them to come in and conduct evaluations on all of your hotel or hospitality assets on a regular basis. After all, your inventory of assets changes over time. They may increase or decrease in value. You'll purchase additional assets, and sell old ones. Asset Panda makes it simple to keep your inventory and asset tracking information up to date so you know precisely what you have and don't pay more than you owe in taxes and insurance.


Ciena® Corporation (NASDAQ: CIEN), the network specialist, today announced that CANARIE, Canada's Advanced Research and Innovation Network, has deployed Ciena's 6500 Packet-Optical Platform equipped with third generation WaveLogic Coherent Optical Processors to support the 100G (100 Gigabits per second) upgrade and network expansion of a route connecting Montreal and New York. The new ultra-high-speed network link will sustain the "big data" streams used in today's advanced academic and scientific research. For example, the 100G link can allow a full two hour HD movie to download in 4/10ths of a second.
Given today's increasingly data-intensive and global environment, it is vitally important that CANARIE work with cutting-edge equipment, such as that provided by Ciena, to support their bandwidth requirements.
47 CEGEPS, 127 provincial and federal government labs and research parks, 62 hospitals and health networks, 24 cultural institutions, thousands of K-12 schools, and more than 100 international peer networks in 80 countries. Its unparalleled footprint and diverse user base enabled the transmission of 84,630 Terabytes of data last year.
The upgraded Montreal to New York link, will provide high-performance optical transport to enable the delivery of big data streams and foster greater scientific collaboration – both in-region and internationally – for key Canadian research and education centers that are working on projects including everything from particle physics to genomics and neuroscience.
Ciena and CANARIE have been showcasing emerging technologies and advanced applications for science, research and education over high-speed, high capacity research networks at several recent events, including at the TERENA Networking Conference (TNC2013), and this week at an exclusive customer event at Ciena's research and development lab in Ottawa, Canada.
At the TNC2013 demonstration, participants were able to control a robot arm with haptic feedback while simultaneously controlling an identical remote robot arm located miles away at another global location. To provide participants with the needed three-dimensional visual depth feedback on their movements at the remote location, the demonstration delivered ultra high- definition video streams at extremely low latency to the event venues. Multiple 3G-SDI uncompressed video streams were transmitted and kept in sync with Ciena's Native Video Transport technology.
In its Ottawa R&D lab, Ciena showcased its software defined networking capabilities in a demonstration that showed 4K video delivery at 5 Gb/s over the CANARIE network using Ciena packet networking technology featuring OpenFlow 1.3. As part of the demonstration, a video was sent from a StarLight-Ciena connected network in Chicago over the CANARIE network to Ciena's lab in Ottawa.
CANARIE designs, delivers, and drives the adoption of digital infrastructure for Canada's research and education communities. CANARIE keeps Canada at the forefront of digital research and innovation, fundamental to a vibrant digital economy.
CANARIE's roots are in advanced networking, and CANARIE continues to evolve the national ultra-high-speed backbone network that enables data-intensive, leading-edge research and big science across Canada and around the world. One million researchers, scientists and students at over 1,100 Canadian institutions, including universities, colleges, research institutes, hospitals, and government laboratories have access to the CANARIE Network.
CANARIE also leads the development of research software tools that enable researchers to more quickly and easily access research data, tools, and peers.

Unlikely Ally of Occupy Movement: Billionaires
The world's richest offer their surprising two cents on widening wealth disparity.
By Bill Tieleman 18 Oct 2011 | TheTyee.ca
Bill Tieleman is a regular Tyee contributor who writes a column on B.C. politics every Tuesday in 24 Hours newspaper. E-mail him at weststar@telus.net or visit his blog.
Billionaires: totally getting it.
"There has been class warfare going on. It's just that my class is winning. And my class isn't just winning, I mean we're killing them." -- Warren Buffett, world's third richest man
Elites Foolish to Dismiss Occupy Wall Street
When billionaires complain about the growing income inequality between rich and poor, you know that the Occupy Vancouver protest that started Saturday just makes sense.
When the third wealthiest man in the world -- Warren Buffett -- says the United States government should stop "coddling the super rich" like him and raise taxes on millionaires, you know something is dramatically wrong.
When Bill Gross, who runs the world's largest bond fund -- the $1.2 trillion Pacific Investment Management Co. -- says that the Occupy Wall Street protest is an unsurprising reaction to the class war started by the rich against the rest of us, you know this is not situation normal.
And when Laurence Fink, who runs BlackRock Inc. -- the world's biggest asset manager, with $3.7 trillion invested -- says protestors spreading the Occupy message around the world have a point, look out.
"These are not lazy people sitting around looking for something to do," Fink says. "We have people losing hope and they're going into the street, whether it's justified or not."
Canada's one per cent issues
While B.C. Premier Christy Clark and federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty were quick to say things are totally different in Canada than the United States, they are dead wrong.
The more than 4,000 protestors who gathered outside the Vancouver Art Gallery on Saturday disagree, and for good reason.
The Occupy Wall Street movement points out that one per cent of the United States' population -- the mega-rich -- own a disproportionate 40 per cent of that country's total wealth. That's why this protest is aimed at helping the other 99 per cent.
But our country is not very different. A recent study found that just 3.8 per cent of Canadian families control 67 per cent of total household wealth.
Other studies have shown that Canada's top one per cent took home a massive 33 per cent of all income gains between 1997 and 2007.
Mega-rich wisdom
That's why we should listen when mega-rich managers like Buffett, who made $40 million in 2010 but paid only 17.4 per cent income tax on it, Fink, who made $23.8 million last year, and Gross, who gave $33 million to charities last year and is worth $2.2 billion, warn about the gap between rich and poor.
"Class warfare by the 99 per cent? Of course, they're fighting back after 30 years of being shot at," Gross said on Twitter Oct. 12.
Fifty-billion-dollar man Buffett wrote a surprising editorial in the New York Times on Aug. 14, calling for a tax increase on the wealthy: "While the poor and middle class fight for us in Afghanistan, and while most Americans struggle to make ends meet, we mega-rich continue to get our extraordinary tax breaks.
"For those making more than $1 million -- there were 236,883 such households in 2009 -- I would raise rates immediately on taxable income in excess of $1 million, including, of course, dividends and capital gains. And for those who make $10 million or more -- there were 8,274 in 2009 -- I would suggest an additional increase in rate," Buffett wrote.
Those dismissing the Occupy Wall Street movement, which originated from Adbusters culture jamming magazine based right here in Vancouver, are foolish.
The very wealthiest men in America aren't just worried about income inequality -- they are preoccupied with it.

The 10 Celebrity Accounts With The Most Followers On Instagram
Abu Zar February 08, 2022
Sports, music, fashion and film personalities. Who are the most loved by the general public?
Without a doubt, Instagram is the social network that is growing at impressive rates, and one of the most popular apps. It has more than 500 million users around the world, so uncertainty arises as to who leads the podium in the number of followers, among so many surfers?
Unsurprisingly, famous people lead this top 10, and 8 are celebrities who have the most followers on Instagram.
10. Taylor Swift
At number 10 is this successful singer. With 178 million followers, she was a must-see character in this top, as she is one of the most popular artists.
9. Justin Bieber
The Canadian singer ranks at number 9, with approximately 195 million followers (this changes rapidly in ascending order), with only 629 followers and 6,667 publications.
On step 8 of the podium is the famous singer Beyoncé with 206 million followers, and no users followed.
7.Kim Kardashian
Your name on the list is not a surprise, is it? The famous has no more and no less than 252 million followers and follows only 154 users.
6. Selena Gomez
The singer has 261 million followers, and once again has a low number of followers, like the other celebrities on the podium, with 201 being the lucky ones.
5. Leo Messi
The most loved footballer in the world leads half of the podium with 263 million followers and has 775 photos of his football and family life that he enjoys in European landscapes.
4. Ariana Grande
Close to the amount that Selena has, Ariana has 265 million followers, although she is more interactive on the network, following 877 users. It's also no surprise that someone as famous as Ari is at the top.
3. Kylie Jenner
The third most followed celebrity has 266 million followers, trailing just 76.
2. The Rock
Dwayne Johnson, better known as "The Rock" occupies the top 3 with 268 million followers. In addition to being one of the most followed, the actor is one of the best paid in all of Hollywood.
1. Cristiano Ronaldo
The top is closed by a footballer, taking a great advantage, with 341 million followers. Without a doubt, he is one of the most beloved, in addition to his recognition for the talent he has to dominate the ball.
Undoubtedly there are celebrities who deserve to be in this top, but they do not have enough recognition. Anyway, in this digital age the numbers are very fast changing.

Writing AHK Interpreters for Mac - Any plans for the future / current projects? And other Qs...
https://www.autohotkey.com:443/boards/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=62690

Hello AHK Community
It seems that this is an issue with AHK - that it does not support other OS than Windows. Curious about why mostly all other programming languages have an interpreter for Mac, but AHK does not. It would seem that having this sort of support would help keep AHK more competitive, and without this support, AHK may never actually be as popular in terms of number of users as say.. Python?
I know that AHK is supported purely by users - I'm curious how other programming languages made that "jump" from being solely supported by users, to being able to actually hire employees to continue to develop and maintain the more mainstream languages (Java, Javascript, Python, C, C+, C#, etc.)?
While I'd love to develop an AHK interpreter for Mac, doing something like that is way over my head and I wouldn't have a clue on where to start (other than downloading AHK's source code, learning C++, and studying it). Maybe in the future when I have more knowledge, I could do this.
I'm curious, how would other programming languages that only have interpreters that support the Windows OS make that jump to also support Mac? From my understanding, C++ interpreters are supported on Mac. Is it because the underlying framework of the Mac OS is set up so different than Windows OS that it takes considerable amount of planning, time, and testing to "match up" Windows automation programming in C++ to create the equivalent output using with Mac automation programming in C++?
I wish had more support on other OS, for the sake of compatability, sharing, etc. I often have many friends and collegues who only use Mac, so I can't write any code for them in AHK. I recently heard of a business who somehow used Lua scripting in combination with AHK to provide AHK programming in Mac, but I don't know the fine details of that or how accurate it is.
I would love to somehow bridge this barrier / gap for AHK at some point... Are there any plans for the future to create this sort of support? Reading around recently it appears there are not many people actively working on AHK source code development, wish there was a way to jumpstart that current developer deficiency.
All insights, opinions, comments, and facts related to this are happily welcomed.

Wondering if anyone has any insights, opinions, comments, facts regarding this topic.

I think this issue centers around the language that developers know, what tools they use, and interest. For AutoHotkey to be on the macOS, Linux, or Android, the developer would debatably have to be using a version of AutoHotkey compiled with GCC or Clang. Visual Studio has the capability to do this, but the developer would have to be familiar with those platforms, as oppose to simply just using the Windows OS. Debatably, it might be better to use GCC as oppose to Visual Studio, but that's hard to say. Likely a very experienced or very talented programmer would be in the best position to decide such.
The next issue is the C++ language as oppose to other languages like C#, Java, Object Pascal, or Red. Arguably, the tools that C++ programmers often use, don't lend themselves to cross-platform and cross-compiling like what are present in other languages. Since AutoHotkey's interpreter is written in C++, it would take a tremendous effort to translate it into a different language. The developer would likely need to be good at multiple programming languages, such as C++ and C# or Object Pascal, for example. Though there are possible other solutions. Such as only porting over only a small section of AutoHotkey code (a smaller and more limited interpreter) or writing a transpiler (which could translate AutoHotkey code to a language other than C++ and cross-compile for a different OS). This also includes that the code in the interpreter to do a particular task in the different OS, could be much different from the C++ code for the Windows OS. So more than just translating, but writing lots of new code.
Lastly, the AutoHotkey community would need a developer with the required skill set, who would be interested in taking on such a project and making an interpreter for a different OS. A possibility, if a particular person or group wants a new interpreter on a different OS, is to openly solicit a developer to do such. Possibly using other boards, in addition to this one, or blogs. AutoHotkey appears to have a significant presence on Reddit and other places.

AHK is basically a wrapper around the Win32 APIs
As such, it's fundamentally pointless to try and implement it on Mac, because most of the mechanisms it uses simply don't exist on Mac

I don't think that's true, because that is looking at the AutoHotkey language as equivalent to the C++ interpreter for the Windows OS.
You can have commands such as Run or Loop using completely different code for an interpreter, for the macOS. As far as the AutoHotkey script and language used, it would be the same. While the code used for the macOS interpreter can be completely different and not based on the Win32 API. Though you would have to decide what AutoHotkey language you want to use on different OSes.
What remains the same is the AutoHotkey language used, not that C++ code used on the Windows OS must be the same code used on the macOS. A person needs to change their thinking about what is AutoHotkey. It's about making the AutoHotkey language exportable to different OSes versus making the same C++ code used for the Windows OS exportable to different OSes. One is much more possible than the other.
Also, various programming languages lend themselves better to cross-platform and cross-compiling. Examples- C#, Object Pascal (FPC, Free Pascal Compiler), Java, Python, Red, etc... Though it's not to say that using C++ is not possible, it's more about the tools that are available.

There is no such thing as a C++ interpreter, C++ is compiled
Cross-platform AHK has been tried before (See IronAHK) and didn't really get anywhere
Various other languages are able to make a compiled executable, which can act as an interpreter. Object Pascal, Red, C#, etc...
AutoHotkey scripts are interpreted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpreter_(computing). Your AutoHotkey scripts are not a real compiled C++ executable. It's possible for an AutoHotkey script to use an interpreter, other than a C++ one.
IronAHK was not completed, because the developer disappeared. However, he did make working code and proved the concept (https://github.com/Paris/IronAHK). That the developer stopped working on it, appears to be for other reasons than simply technical, like contentious or combative relationships. The story of IronAHK's developer is quite complicated, just by the parts that are available on the Internet. Also, C# is more developed and much more cross-platform than it was 10 years ago. Refer to Xamarin (https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/xamarin/) and .NET Core (https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download), which are for making apps on the macOS, Linux, and Android.

Disappeared? That's one way to call it. To me, it looked like he was busy ruining the original forum - what in the end caused the split at the time and the creation of the AHK foundation.
(and of course running his game cheat company - or whatever).
Someone would have picked up IronAHK, if it would be easy. They can still do... its license seems pretty open.

You are correct about the license for IronAHK (https://github.com/Paris/IronAHK/blob/master/license.txt). It's wide open, and is kind of equivalent to a MIT License. Debatably, C# might be considered cross-platform enough for the macOS, Linux, and Android. But the next things to consider are:
1) Are there any volunteer C# developers willing to take it on?
2) A new fork would need to be created on GitHub, so that developers can actively contribute.
3) Are any of the past IronAHK contributors willing to contribute to a new fork?
There were several other contributors to the IronAHK project. Link- https://github.com/Paris/IronAHK/graphs/contributors
Of these, IsNull stands out. It appears he's still quite active on GitHub. https://github.com/IsNull
He is also a member of the AutoHotkey forum, but hasn't posted in quite a long time.
This is not to say that IsNull must be involved, just that he might be more familiar with the source code. However, some other developers could step in and figure it all out.
4) Probably the C# language is the best candidate, because those familiar with C++ will likely pick it up the fastest, as oppose to other programming languages.
After C#, probably the next candidate seems to be Object Pascal (as there are a lot of free tools for it), but the language difference could create greater hurdles. Though arguably, if going the Object Pascal or something a bit more radical like Red, a transpiler (AutoHotkey script translated directly into the code of a different language) might be the best way to go.
5) Rebooting or forking IronAHK might be the most feasible, and something to look into very deeply before trying anything more radical, as there is already a lot of code written. https://github.com/Paris/IronAHK


On October 13th, 60 teams will compete in the Red Bull Soapbox Race in Providence Rhode Island (watch crashes here).
One of those teams is a group of undergrad engineering students from the University of Vermont called "Wrath of Kong."
Colin Hutchens is the driving force behind the team's entry. Sending in the winning application and coming up with the idea - a cross between King Kong and Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan.
Colin will be driving the soapbox car and also playing the part of Fay Wray in the pre-race skit which will involve synchronized dancing and some King Kong destruction.
The race is one week away and the naked soapbox frame is not yet attached to its wheels. It is a race to the finish to see if the car will be ready to compete Saturday against some heavy hitters like NASA, Nascar and Burton.
UVM's Votey Hall Lab Coordinator, Floyd Vilmont is helping the students build their soapbox car. It is a rare chance for the engineering students to test their knowledge and learn real life skills.
Wish them luck Saturday, they just might take home the gold!

SU freshmen and sophomores majoring in Biology, Chemistry, Earth Science, Mathematics, and Physics can complete paid STEM education internships. SU expects to have funds to support 4-8 interns per year through spring 2023. Interns will engage in lesson study in Wicomico County schools. They will be responsible for collaborating with peers and local teachers to design, implement, and analyze STEM lessons for middle or high school students.
The time commitment for the internship is approximately 30 hours per semester. Interns need to participate in team meetings, do some independent research, attend lessons, and work with secondary school students. A fingerprint background check is required. Interns must be US citizens, nationals, or permanent resident aliens. Total pay for the year is $1500.
Successful completion of the internship experience increases the chances of receiving an SU Noyce Scholarship. The internship also provides an opportunity to learn more about STEM teaching without necessarily having to commit to it.
All application materials are due June 1.

WCASD Expands Equity Mission with Hiring of First Director of Equity & Assessment
Dawn Mader, West Chester Area School District's Director of Equity and Assessment, stands in front of a mural of Civil Rights Activist Bayard Rustin at Bayard Rustin High School. The mural was painted by Rustin senior Hana Rusi.
West Chester Area School District (WCASD) has hired its first Director of Equity and Assessment. Dawn Mader has been in education for almost 20 years and has spent the last five years as an assistant principal at Rustin High School in WCASD.
"I am so excited to work in a district that supports equity and understands its importance for all students," said Mrs. Mader. "There is a long list of things I hope to achieve in this role. What's important is to put some practical items in place to help recognize and eliminate the inequities that exist."
Under the newly created position, Mrs. Mader will support a culturally balanced curriculum for all district students and manage the district's 16 building-level equity teams and District Equity Leadership team. She is also responsible for analyzing all assessment data to identify equity gaps and propose and guide strategies for closing those gaps.
While the director position may be new to the district, equity is not. Since 2004, West Chester Area School District has been committed to eradicating institutional racism and inequities through social justice while promoting the emotional development of staff and students and embracing diverse perspectives. The district's equity goals include:
Providing students with an inclusive curriculum that teaches anti-racism, celebrates differences, promotes understanding, and seeks multiple perspectives.
Promoting a positive school climate in which students feel safe, respected, and appreciated.
Providing on-going professional development to all staff in all aspects of equity.
Engaging staff, students, parents, and community members in the district's equity work.
Providing equitable access to district programming.
"We have spent a considerable amount of time working internally to build systemic training for all staff so they can help each other identify microaggressions in our schools. The work is hard, and after 17 years, we are barely above the waterline of the iceberg. There is much more work to do, and we will continue to do," said Dr. Jim Scanlon, WCASD superintendent.
Before coming to WCASD, Mrs. Mader worked as an elementary and middle school assistant principal in Delaware County. She also worked for the Camden City School District, where she was named "Teacher of the Year" for her work with students who did not meet with success in a traditional school setting.

Living Discipleship is brought to you by Forward Movement, a ministry of The Episcopal Church that seeks to inspire disciples and empower evangelists. Follow on Facebook or Twitter.
Living Discipleship is an all-ages curriculum series designed to help individuals and communities know more fully the very things that Paul prayed for the Ephesians to find: the God revealed in Christ Jesus.
Exploring the Bible: Participants will follow the vast, sweeping story of God's extraordinary love for ordinary people, in a clear and easy-to-follow format. Each week, participants read selections from the Bible, with passages excerpted and condensed by biblical scholars for easier reading.
Practicing our Faith: Takes participants through The Book of Common Prayer, the liturgical year, the sacraments of the church, habits of daily prayer, and the teachings of Anglican Christianity.
Celebrating the Saints: Participants will learn about twenty-six of the monks, missionaries, prophets, doctors, evangelists and more who are named saints in The Episcopal Church's calendar.
You use one or more of the three years in any order. Each year is offered with two components: a youth/adult course and an adaptation suitable for young children and families.
Each year of the Living Discipleship curriculum features twenty-six sessions. Designed for use in weekly Sunday formation time, each session is approximately an hour long. With twenty-six sessions, this means that Living Discipleship can function as the Sunday formation curriculum in a church for an entire program year. Yet the lessons are also easily adaptable: each class stands on its own and can be used independently or rearranged in any order. Thus your parish could choose to use only a selection of the lessons, engaging in study for a semester or a season.
Alternatively, you could use the sessions as a summer curriculum or even at a time outside of Sunday morning. You could combine several sessions to create a weekend program. The possibilities are endless. This all-ages format allows families to come to church and learn about the same topic, each in their own class, and have a shared starting point from which to go home and talk, discuss, and debate about "what they learned in Sunday school.
Supported by a generous grant from The Episcopal Church's Constable Fund, Living Discipleship is available as a free download.
