Among overall college and university mass notification tools, outdoor emergency telephone gear from firms such as Talk-a-Phone can pull duty as a speaker to broadcast campus wide or to selected areas.
KutztownUniversity of Pennsylvania recently installed a fiber optic network and a voice command center that now allows university emergency management officials to send select messages to a group of buildings or select buildings. "We have tremendous flexibility to get audio out to certain groups of buildings or to one building," says Stephen S. Helms, director of the university's Office of Environmental Health and Safety.
Four years after a student gunned down 32 people in a rampage, Virginia Tech University officials remain adamant that they did nothing wrong by waiting two hours to warn the campus that a gunman was on the loose. Virginia Tech says it acted reasonably based on standards in place at the time and doesn't deserve the $55,000 fine that the U.S. Department of Education imposed on the school for violating federal law with its response the day of the shootings. As of press time, they had yet to decide on whether or not to appeal the fine.
In a sense, the events at Virginia Tech University in April 2007 revolutionized the way colleges approach student safety. It birthed mass alert systems and sweeping surveillance. Now schools are expected to instantly send e-mails and text warnings in the event of an emergency.
For example, a full-volume test of the Seahawk warning siren system took place earlier this year on the campus of the University of North Carolina – Wilmington (UNCW). The exercise even included an emergency cable TV interrupt test.
The purpose was to test the effectiveness of mass notification, a growingly important part of college and university crisis management procedures and message delivery systems across diverse types of communications means. At the university, use of these tools will vary based on the nature, duration and severity of an emergency. Some of the ways in which campus emergency notifications and up-to-date information may be communicated include the sirens, the UNCW Emergency Information Hotline, blast e-mails, the UNCW Alert Web site and mass text messages.
In an unprecedented move, UNCW installed two outdoor warning systems on its main campus in 2007. Last year, it installed an additional three sirens to enhance coverage. The strategically placed sirens warn the university community to take shelter in a major emergency, such as a severe weather event. The siren will be sounded only during major emergencies when the majority of the UNCW community will need to shelter in order to stay safe.
In another way to get the word out, students, faculty and staff provide their cell phone numbers for emergency text and voice messaging, which requires voluntary sign-up. This is one of multiple communication tools UNCW may use to provide critical information to the campus community during emergency situations.
Last month, as part of its emergency preparedness plans, Duke University tested its DukeALERT mass notification system. Outdoor warning sirens sounded and the emergency DukeALERT Web site was activated. Faculty, staff and students received a test e-mail, and, if they registered for Duke's text messaging service, they received a text message on their mobile device.
The purpose was to get people to understand how they would be notified in the event of a life-threatening emergency like a tornado sighting or active shooter on campus.
Duke University officials say the test is conducted once during the spring and fall semesters and once during the summer, when the audience is significantly different with various camps and programs on campus.
As part of the test, Duke community members were encouraged to respond to an online survey to assess the effectiveness of various DukeALERT communication methods. The results, say Duke University officials, will help determine how people were notified, which methods worked best for different groups and whether staff members know their severe weather/emergency conditions service category. The results will also help identify areas for improvement.
Information on how a mass notification system works, or doesn't, is the next step for Kutztown University of Pennsylvania, which will soon request official feedback on its mass notification system from its students and staff.
The university's Office of Environmental Health and Safety, led by Director Stephen S. Helms, was proactive in its thinking about the potential of a mass notification system on campus. In the early 1990s, the university retrofitted all residence halls with voice-communication fire alarm systems that included speakers – and prerecorded messages that instruct occupants what to do in the event of an emergency. Yet, the missing link, Helms says, was other campus buildings and outdoor spaces.
Thinking ahead, Helms is considering reaching students, faculty and staff via digital message boards and equipping KU's Gai-Tronics' outdoor emergency telephone stanchions, placed along walkways and parking lots, with speakers to spread emergency messages even further. Where stanchions are not possible to install, Helms says he will broadcast messages via speakers mounted on campus buildings.
Beyond that, an additional test in March proved successful as well. An additional test of the system with formal feedback is planned to take place within the next few months.
No one is sure if professional football teams will be playing in September, but if they are, the Cleveland Browns will be prepared. It's yet another way that mass notification takes on a whole new role.
Lewis Merletti is senior vice president of the Browns and a former director of the United States Secret Service. On his team is Carl Meyer, vice president of security and a former Secret Service Agent; Kat Mathis, an associate in the Senior VP's office who formerly worked for the CIA; and Ken Rundle, manager of the Training Facility and Security and a former counter-sniper with the Secret Service. All are experienced in dealing with critical situations, and they realize the need for swift and reliable communications.
Merletti uses a Send Word Now Alert Service to notify players and staff, whether it be a simple snow warning or a more serious terror event.
On the field the Browns' plays are called and executed with precision, and off the field the Browns' organization-wide communication and travel plans are equally well-orchestrated. There are secure motorcades to the airport, hotel and other destinations when the team travels together.
"When there is a last-minute change in schedule, we need to get the word out to players, coaches and support staff," says Merletti.
Coordinating maneuvers off the field can be almost as tough as on the field, with a team of 53 players and 150 total staff members who travel and work together. Merletti said it is important to be able to reach people via any available mode of communication or device they have with them.
"If someone is going to be late for a bus, it's not like they can just catch up and get on at the next corner. Everything has to be planned and coordinated – we can't afford for anyone to miss a trip," says Merletti.

The IRS has recently announced the change of the Issue Price Rules for establishing the arbitrage yield on tax-exempt bonds. The new rules will become effective on June 7, 2017. The change will create the need for new procedures and certifications from market participants upon closing of a tax-exempt bond issuance.
The new Issue Price Rules require issuers to maintain reasonable documentation to support both the method for determining issue price and the price determinations. Issuers, along with their counsel and advisors, must determine the appropriate method of calculation and document the issue price accordingly.
MuniPriceTracker is an independent, automated bond tracking system that provides issuers, bond counsels, and advisors the reasonable documentation necessary to support issue price determinations. Comprehensive reports are easy to review and add to the transaction file. Get the information you need to meet the new Issue Price Rules from MuniPriceTracker.
The new Issue Price Rules have been in development since 2013. Multiple iterations have been proposed by the IRS, with substantial comments and revisions occurring with each new version, including the Final Rules. The new Issue Price Rules seem workable for the tax-exempt marketplace, although more scrutiny is likely to occur as the June 7, 2017, effective date approaches. In determining the issue price of municipal bonds, issuers, their counsels, and their advisors have historically relied on the underwriter's certification of the price at which at least 10% of each maturity of the bonds were sold to the public pursuant to a bona fide public offering. The new Issue Price Rules create scenarios where this type of certification may not be sufficient, depending on factors such as whether the General Rule or an Alternative Method for establishing the issue price is used, or whether at least three bids were obtained through a competitive sale. As these scenarios unfold, an independent report verifying the applicability of the selected issue price calculation method and/or the issue price may be warranted.
MuniPriceTracker is a fully automated bond tracking service that delivers efficient, cost-effective reports regarding the trading activity of tax-exempt bonds. With the data and technology available to provide verification of issue price parameters, including the potential for "hold-the-offering-price" rules to apply, MuniPriceTracker can deliver answers quickly to a tax-exempt issuer, bond counsel or Municipal Advisor. Further, MuniPriceTracker's service includes the ability to provide an independent opinion as to the applicability of the issue price method selected. MuniPriceTracker's automated e-mail alerts can also provide an early warning to transaction participants so that pricing anomalies can be addressed with the underwriter prior to closing, or an alternative issue price determination can be made. Comprehensive closing reports provide all the information issuers and counsels need to identify problematic trading activity and verify the issue price certifications.
MuniPriceTracker: We're looking out for your interest.
Under the new Issue Price regulations scheduled to become effective on June 7th, issuers will need to select one of two methods for calculating the issue price of a bond transaction: the General Method or the Alternative Method. The selected method will then be used to calculate the issue price for the bonds which, in turn, determines the Arbitrage Yield. Since tax-exempt bond transactions are either subject to arbitrage rebate or are yield restricted based on the Arbitrage Yield (subject to certain exemptions), calculating the issue price correctly is critical to compliance with tax-exempt regulations.
Non-compliance with the relevant tax code regulations, including the new Issue Price Rules, can lead to significant ramifications for a municipal issuer. For tax-exempt governmental bonds and qualified private activity bonds, non-compliance could ultimately result in the bonds retroactively losing their tax-exempt status, leading to potential lawsuits from bondholders for underpaid interest and difficulty finding willing purchasers for future bond issues. Furthermore, excess premium may need to be included in the calculation of the arbitrage yield, and issuers may need to rebate additional earnings to the government.

Chinatown-International District MHA rezone heads to full council—slowly
The full council vote will be delayed for more community input
By Sarah Anne Lloyd@sarahannelloyd Jun 8, 2017, 3:11pm PDT
These International District storefronts are in the National Historic Register district, which is exempted from the rezone.

On Tuesday, a Seattle City Council committee passed rezones to Chinatown-International District (CID)—but city councilors acknowledged the legislation needs more time before it's ready for a full council vote.
Like with similar rezones, extra height for buildings would come in exchange for either using floor space for affordable housing (performance) or paying into an affordable housing fund (in-lieu).
In the current draft of the legislation, in most cases, performance is at 7 percent—or $20.75 per square foot in-lieu. For shorter commercial buildings, that drops to 5 percent and $8 per square foot.
Residential buildings would gain one to three stories, depending on the zone. Commercial buildings would gain an increase to floor-area ratio that city spokespeople said would equal a couple of stories in most cases.
An amendment added to the ordinance would exempt projects that are already 40 percent affordable to those at 60 percent area median income from the incentive zoning program, a voluntary program that exchanges height for other public benefits.
Some testified at public meetings and comment periods that they want the amount of affordable housing to be higher. Others, especially from the CID Coalition, called for an all-out moratorium on non-affordable new development.
CID is at a particular displacement risk, said both city officials and multiple community members.
Testifying at both a public meeting earlier this month and the committee meeting on Tuesday, Joseph Shoji Lachman of the Japanese American Citizens League said the committee should delay a vote until there's more engagement with the CID community—especially with those with limited English proficiency.
"The people who are most affected by this legislation are the ones who cannot be here right now: It's the ones whose first language is not English," said Lachman on Tuesday. "And we want more time to be able to have this meaningful engagement with them."
Others echoed similar sentiments at both meetings.
The committee met that request halfway: While the ordinance passed out of committee on Tuesday, it was with the understanding that a full council vote would be delayed until July 17th, giving them time to take more feedback and add amendments.
In addition to the ordinance that would rezone CID, the committee passed a separate resolution that would address issues that can't be covered with the rezone—for example, the city "will act in a timely manner to partner with local businesses, community organizations, and customers to promote economic development and commercial stability."

According to The Alzheimer's Association, 6/10 people with Dementia will wander. Wandering is one of the least manageable and most emotionally draining behaviours that caregivers must address. You have a million tasks on your plate, and caring for an aging loved one is stressful enough without the worry that they will get lost when you look away. Even if a senior with dementia promises to you that they will not wander away, the sad reality is that they have no control over it. As the disease progresses, their memory and reasoning skills can be so affected that they become lost in familiar places and don't think to ask for help.
Research has not been able to provide a definitive reason why people with dementia wander, and the main reasons could be related to the changes in their memory, but the tendency to wander is also linked to unmet needs and overstimulation.

Q: will_paginate ajax with fade I'm trying to ajaxify my will_pagniate pagination in rails. I want to have the old page fade out and the new one fade in.
Here's the relevant part of my controller:
respond_to do |format|
  format.html # new.html.erb
  format.js {
    render :update do |page|
      page.replace 'page', :partial => 'cur_page'
    end
  }
  format.xml  { render :xml => @branch }
end

The aforementioned partial:

  <%= will_paginate %>

    <%= render @posts %>

  <%= will_paginate %>

And the relevant part of application.js:
document.observe("dom:loaded", function() {
  // the element in which we will observe all clicks and capture
  // ones originating from pagination links
  var container = $(document.body)

  if (container) {
    var img = new Image
    img.src = '/images/spinner.gif'

    function createSpinner() {
      return new Element('img', { src: img.src, 'class': 'spinner' })
    }

    container.observe('click', function(e) {
      var el = e.element()
      if (el.match('.pagination a')) {
        el.up('.pagination').insert(createSpinner())
        target = $('posts')
        new Effect.fade(target, { duration: 0.3, afterFinish: function()
          {
            new Ajax.Request(el.href,
            {
              method: 'get',
              onSuccess: function(){ new Effect.Appear(target, {duration:0.3})}
            })
        }})
        e.stop()
      }
    })
  }
})

The script seems to get killed on this line,
        new Effect.fade(target, { duration: 0.3, afterFinish: function()

because I see the spinner.gif start, then no fading and the page is refreshed normally. I have got the ajax working before I tried to add Effect.Fade and Effect.Appear.
Is this the right way to go about this? Should I put the effects in the controller instead?

A: Here is what I did using jQuery and working well too :)
Put your will_paginate helper view call in a div
#tickets_pagination
  = will_paginate @tickets

In application.js
$("#tickets_pagination .pagination a").live("click", function() {
  $.get("/users/?"+this.href.split("?")[1], null, null, "script");
  return false
});

The javascript above will convert the pagination links in #tickets_pagination to ajax links
In your controller as usual
def index
  @tickets = Ticket.all.paginate({:page => params[:page], :per_page => 10 })
  respond_to do |format|
    format.js
    format.html
  end
end

Now finally in index.js.erb
$("#tickets_list_table").fadeOut('slow');
$("#tickets_list_table").html("<%= escape_javascript(render :partial =>'tickets/tickets_table', :locals => {:tickets => @tickets}) %>");
$("#tickets_list_table").fadeIn('slow');

Here tickets/ticket_table has a table that lists all tickets. The partial is rendered in a div #ticket_list_table
Hope this will work for you as well.

A: I tried putting more of the work into the javascript helpers:
respond_to do |format|
  format.html # new.html.erb
  format.js {
    render :update do |page|
      page.visual_effect :fade, 'posts', :afterFinsh => "function(){" +
      page.replace 'page', :partial => 'cur_page' +
      page.visual_effect(:appear, 'branches') + "}"
    end
  }
  format.xml  { render :xml => @branch }
end

Then removed this part of the javascript:
new Effect.fade(target, { duration: 0.3, afterFinish: function()

I get the effect I want, but all out of order. The request completes and the html is replaced, then the div fades out and then reappears!

A: Not very familiar with RoR, does it generate its own client-side JS that may possibly be battling your code?
If not, I would say the problem is somewhere in your own client-side code.  For testing, get rid of the HREF attribute from the anchor tag and place the URL as a string literal in the Ajax request.  If nothing happens, there is a problem with the Ajax request itself.  If the page loads as expected, then the event in the original scenario is not being completely stopped.
Also, clean up your JS a bit just to be sure, line-ending semi-colons where needed.

A: You seem to mix up things a bit.
Either you write $('posts').fade or new Effect.fade('posts').
Secondly, i can't seem to find the afterFinish option in the documentation.
So i would suggest something along the following lines:
container.observe('click', function(e) {
  var el = e.element()
  if (el.match('.pagination a')) {
    el.up('.pagination').insert(createSpinner())
    target = $('posts')
    new Effect.fade('posts', { duration: 0.3});
    setTimeout("new Ajax.Request(el.href, { method: 'get',
          onSuccess: function(){
            new Effect.Appear('posts', {duration:0.3})
          } })", 1000);
    e.stop();
  }
})

Hope this helps.

This political action committee is affiliated with MoveOn.org, a Berkeley, California-based liberal group formed in 1998 to oppose then President Bill Clinton's impeachment. Since then the group has supported numerous Democratic candidates for statewide office around the country. This political action committee was formed in 2012 to make independent expenditures against Republican Governor Scott Walker, who faced a June 5, 2012 recall along with three incumbent Republican senators. An election was also held for a fourth seat where the incumbent senator resigned after a recall election wa approved. The recall elections were prompted by the response to passage in 2011 of Walker's controversial bill limiting public employee collective bargaining rights.
MoveOn.org operated a political action committee and a corporation which made independent expenditures of $135,000 in the 2011 Senate recall elections targeting Democratic and Republican incumbents, prompted, as were the recalls in 2012, by 2011 passage of Walker's anti-union legislation.
This PAC did not report making any independent expenditures in the 2012 recall elections.

Cepton, Inc. Announces Agreement for $100 Million Investment from Koito Manufacturing
Golden Independence Announces Proposed Share Consolidation
SAN JOSE, Calif., October 27, 2022–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cepton, Inc. ("Cepton") (Nasdaq: CPTN), a Silicon Valley innovator and leader in high performance lidar solutions, announced today that it has entered into a binding investment agreement dated October 27, 2022 ("Investment Agreement") for a $100 million investment from its long-term automotive Tier 1 partner and current shareholder, Koito Manufacturing Co., Ltd. ("Koito") (TSE: 7276). As previously reported, the investment will be used to fund Cepton's next stage of growth as it scales its lidar solutions for mass deployment.
Under the terms of the Investment Agreement, which has been unanimously approved by Cepton's board of directors, Koito will purchase $100 million of convertible preferred stock (the "Preferred Stock"), with a purchase price of $1,000 per share. The Preferred Stock will be convertible, beginning on the first anniversary of the issue date, into shares of Cepton's common stock at an approximate initial conversion price of $2.585 per share, representing a 10.0% premium to Cepton's volume-weighted average price over the trailing 20 trading day period ending on October 26, 2022. The initial conversion price also represents a 13.4% premium to Cepton's closing price on October 26, 2022 and a 7.0% premium to Cepton's average closing price over the past five trading days. At Cepton's election, the Preferred Stock carries a 4.250% per annum dividend if paid in kind or a 3.250% per annum dividend if paid in cash, in each case paid quarterly in arrears.
Dating back to 2017, Cepton and Koito have a strong history of collaboration, and this marks Koito's third investment in Cepton since 2020. As a direct result of their partnership, Cepton and Koito were awarded the industry's largest known ADAS lidar series production award.
"We are excited to further strengthen our partnership with Koito and remain deeply grateful for Koito's continued support. This investment solidifies Cepton's financial position, and allows us to continue our execution excellence as we focus on commercialization and mass market deployment of our lidar sensors," said Dr. Jun Pei, Cepton's Co-Founder and CEO.

Has anyone lost a screenshot using the Applications > screenshot menu?
I've looked in my home directory, and scrounged the disk only to find some nice TC logos in png format, but the current screenshot seems to have gone awol.
I could have sworn I heard a tiny little scream when the screenshot file passed the event horizon of /dev/null.
Re: Where did my screenshot go?
Try running screenshot.sh from a terminal and see if any errors pop up.
Not a showstopper, but would be nice to have.
I'm not sure how it works in dCore, but under Tinycore you would need imlib2-bin.tcz.
You'll find it useful to search within the repo using APPS and it's "Provides" search function to find missing libraries. If found then APPS will list the extension to install and resolve the situation.
For sure, that's awesome on TC!
But here, I just tried sce-importing both libimlib2 and libimlib2-dev, and dCore's screenshot wasn't happy.
The x86 version of Xprogs has imlib2_grab in it, x86_64 does not. I will put it in.
Updated Xprogs posted, screenshot should work now.
Thanks Jason! Works great now.
Believe it or not, I'll do a screenshot of some forum / Wiki items and pipe that into Dillo for later reference. Crude, but effective - like me.


Rubbish Removal Adelaide: How To Reduce Cost As EPA Levy Increases!
Rubbish removal Adelaide: Just when you thought you had got through the annual waste management cost increases, the South Australia EPA has announced a surprise price increase for disposal of rubbish at landfill in Adelaide. You can find a link to a comprehensive summary of the cost increase on the South Australia EPA page here, you can also access useful information through our waste resources page.
Note: You can check out some of the other articles we have posted on arranging high quality waste services in Adelaide recently such as waste collection Adelaide. You can also see articles we have published on rubbish removal Perth, rubbish removal Melbourne, rubbish removal Brisbane and why the weight of rubbish matters.
The South Australia waste levy for disposal of waste at landfill has increased from $62.00 a tonne in metro Adelaide during 2016/2017 to $87.00 from 1st July 2017 – representing an increase of almost 40%. There is no doubt that this increase will represent a real issue for many struggling businesses in the current economic climate of energy and other input cost inflation.
– The levy will increase in stages from $62 to $103 a tonne by 2019/20, raising an additional $64 million over the four years.
– All extra funding received will be reinvested into waste, environmental and climate change programs including funding initiatives to help recycle waste.
– Putting a higher price on waste will incentivise councils and industry to dump less in landfill and expand and create new industries in processing and reuse, furthering South Australia's reputation as thenation's leading recycler.
– The metropolitan Solid Waste Levy will increase from $62 per tonne on 1 July 2016 to $76 on 1 September 2016, $87 in 2017-18, $100 in 2018-19 and $103 in 2019-20. The solid waste levy in non metropolitan areas is half the metropolitan levy.
Have you already had a rubbish removal Adelaide up-rate letter?
The majority of waste management customers in Adelaide will already have received an uprate letter from their waste collection and recycling supplier. We covered uprate letters in a recent blog. It is never fun to receive a letter that your prices are increasing – especially at the start of a new financial year as your plans for financial success often depend on controlling costs. This new levy increase means that many businesses should expect further price increases in the months ahead – and continuing large jumps up to 2020.
To provide an estimate of how the levy increase will impact on the bottom line of an average customer we take the example of a business with a 3m General Waste bin collected 3 times a week. In this instance, the customer could expect a cost increase of c. $4.56 per bin collected or an annual cost impact of $711.36 – and this is just due to the increase between 30 June and 1 Sep 2016. The same customer by 1 July 2019 will see a total cost per bin increase of $11.04 or an annual total increase of $1,722. Of course there will likely be other increases in that time due to CPI and other cost inputs.
What steps can a business take to minimise the cost impact?
Increasing costs from disposing of general waste are to be expected as State governments place more emphasis on recycling and the environment (and use waste levies as a means to raise revenue). Steps that Waster would suggest to small and medium include starting by drawing up a waste management plan. Once you have a plan in place you can pursue efforts to optimise your selection of wheelie bin sizes and boosting efforts to increase recycling waste.
We have written articles in recent months covering opportunities to boost recycling and hence avoid the waste levy impact. I suppose this is what the State Government is aiming to achieve after all! You can look at our articles to give you recycling and cost reducing ideas under organic waste solutions, grease trap cleaning, commingled recycling or free cardboard recycling. You may even be able to achieve government rebates for recycling in certain areas.
Can Waster help your business reduce rubbish removal Adelaide costs?
Waster will be reviewing our rubbish removal Adelaide costs over the next few weeks to account for the recent levy impact. We will keep you updated in this regard.
Note: we updated our rates reflecting this surprise change in our waste bins Adelaide article.

CONFIRMATION HEARING OF DENIS MCDONOUGH
By Rob Papandrea, Legislative Intern
In Wednesday's Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee hearing, Senators heard testimony from Mr. Denis McDonough of Wisconsin regarding his nomination and qualifications to serve as VA Secretary in the Biden Administration.
McDonough, 51, served as Chief of Staff to President Obama during his second term. If confirmed, he would be only the second Secretary in the history of the VA to have never served in the Armed Forces. Additionally, McDonough has never served as an administrator of a hospital or in any role directly related to healthcare or services for Veterans. When addressing his experience in his opening testimony, McDonough repeatedly fell back on his history of navigating bureaucracy in government but did not directly speak of any efforts in doing so on behalf of Veterans.
Responding to senators' questions on his vision for the VA, McDonough often repeated a mantra of prioritizing increasing access and improving outcomes but had very little substantive commentary regarding policy proposals of his own. Of note however, several important topics were mentioned in the limited hearing. In his first few minutes of response, McDonough was asked about sexual harassment in the VA, responding that on his first day as Secretary he would institute a no tolerance policy. McDonough also made vague statements on "rebalancing community care". When asked to clarify what exactly this meant, he declined to commit to upholding current access standards. Several senators cited concerns over potential plans to close VA facilities, especially those in rural areas and which may serve as the only facility in an entire region. In response, McDonough expressed a desire to keep as many facilities open as possible. Senators were also especially concerned over the COVID-19 pandemic's effect on veterans' access to care. When asked about his and the President's plan to vaccinate veterans, McDonough could not give an estimate as to how many doses would be specifically reserved for VA patients.
Perhaps the most poignant and overarching question of the hearing, McDonough was asked several times to explain what exactly differentiates him from previous secretaries. His answer consisted of three main points: his ability to work with other agencies, his desire to ensure the VA is providing all other services to veterans, and his willingness to be held accountable to Congress. In terms of policy or direction, McDonough did not indicate a significant shift away from the status quo on any other particular issue, only outright committing to working with Congress on a myriad of the senators' respective bills.

A Celtic Cross is placed at Bunker Hill to remember the Irish buried there
The cemetery is gated and well hidden, and there have been no burials in it for three score years and more. It's a lovely, grassy, tranquil place, and Dan Mahoney, the parish priest, remarks how all the headstones face northeast toward home, toward Ireland.
Ed Callahan and Dan Casey
The Catholic burial ground is on the fabled battle site of the Revolutionary War in Charlestown, Massachusetts that turned the tide against the British and led eventually to independence. And, though the battle was fought on nearby Breed's Hill and the Colonials "lost the day," the fervor of the name "Bunker Hill" stirs the hearts of patriots.
That the "Hill" was transformed into a Catholic cemetery and became a sectarian battleground is yet another piece of Charlestown's long, contentious history. The Second Battle of Bunker Hill would pit the well-heeled Yankee establishment against a gutsy bishop on a mission.
In 1830, Bishop Benedict Fenwick found there was need for a burying ground in or near Boston. He purchased a parcel of land in Charlestown overlooking the Mystic River for the purpose — a severe blow to the Charlestown Yankees, who, after two centuries, felt Town and "Hill" were theirs. They resolved to do all in their power to thwart the Catholic bishop's "unholy scheme."
Fenwick, a Jesuit, was regarded with suspicion by the Boston Protestant elite, who were openly and vehemently anti-Catholic, anti-Irish, and anti-Jesuit. The Bishop was, however, intelligent, courageous, and willing to take on the formidable challenge to the cemetery.
Historian Thomas O'Connor tells us, "No place in the New World was more hostile to Irish and Catholics than Charlestown — it was a tight little Anglo-Protestant enclave with no time for Irish Papists."
At the height of the Famine, William Whieldon, Editor of Charlestown's Bunker Hill Aurora, wrote, "Our country is literally being overrun with the miserable, wretched, vicious and unclean paupers of the old country. They are not only introducing their wretchedness and disease among us but, if they ever recover from these plagues, they have a worse disease, which will overspread this country, their religion."
Charlestown was, in fact, so intolerant of the Irish that in 1847 the town's selectmen turned the Famine ship Reliance away from Dwin's Wharf with 280 desperately ill aboard.
Seen in this light, it's understandable that the Bunker Hill Cemetery faced fierce resistance from Yankee Charlestown at every step of the way. But Bishop Fenwick won the day.
Nine to ten thousand Irish are buried here, and, safe to say, most were Famine refugees and their children who "did not go gentle into that good night."
In the bad old days, when infant death was all too common and the Irish poor had no means to buy a grave, deceased infants and young children were left at the cemetery gate for burial. Patrick Denvir, the sexton and undertaker at the Irish Cemetery behind St. Francis de Sales Church in Charlestown, tells us that sad practice was not unusual. There are hundreds of infants and children buried here. Their graves went unmarked but the children were not forgotten.
One glorious September Sunday in 2009, a thousand or more gathered on the Hill to raise the Children of the Famine Memorial. The centerpiece is a Celtic Cross, one reminiscent of Muireadach's High Cross at Monasterboice.
They lie in silence, thousands strong
In a hidden Charlestown graveyard
Awaiting a marker
Evidence of lives lived?
Why do you lament their tragic passing?
Pales to insignificance.
What counts is memory and memorial.
The Celtic Cross in Charlestown Graveyard
Honors soul and spirit
Of those Irish dead
They are remembered.
Rest well now
Where Tir na nOg and Gate of Heaven,
Sun and Cross are all the one.
— Donal O'Cathasaigh (Dan Casey)

Q: how to rename/hide files names from user view/use on windows .bat batch i'm willing to have a windows batch .bat script that hide files by renaming them and log the renaming into a file to undo it later.

privacy : sometime i don't want other people using my PC to see some of my files as they might be considered as personnal (yeah PC is for Personal Computer), i need to hide them from public view.
3 options:
-use a full featured encryption SW to encrypt the file & folder i want to hide -- 100% efficient but way too slow and heavy when processing lots of files...
-play with a zipper as 7z and compress/decompress with a password and 256bits AES -- efficient but very long too and not easy in case of modifying the file content...
-OR simply have the name of files fully renamed : no explicit name, a standard random computer generated name, so no one would guess what is inside and plainly think it's a system file. (And of course no extension!! .mp3 .avi .txt .xls etc...) This way file are still accessible if you know (i mean I KNOW) how to open them. On a windows OS that hold 130000+ files, who will find my secrets files? (hope no one will ;-) )

So i need a .bat script that rename all theses files into that and undo it.
The script might be able to go recursively through folder and rename folders as well...
expected behavior is like this :
hide_my_folders.bat folder_path

expected before/after is like this :
secret_folder1*                  --->              124-235-4443-4546*
secret_folder2*                  --->              5461-659-3-14*
my_secret_agenda.txt             --->              156-1658-3-44
my_secret_picture.jpg            --->              16971-2326-11-1
my_secret_recording.mp3          --->              1234-1445-788-99

*folders stays folders but all names are scrambled

To get started, i already have a .bat script that rename everything in the hard-coded folder d:\2sort\ (no recursion)
so i need some help to add :
-the recursion (hard coded or may be as an option on the command line   "/s"...)
-parameter input (pass the folder as parameter)
note the : SET TranslationFile=5173-19632-45713-132
as it is the file containing the original name list to reverse the renaming

GOP gubernatorial candidate Jake Corman lays platform in Pittsburgh marketing campaign freeze
By jimadmin Last updated Dec 3, 2021
State Sen. Jake Corman, a Republican candidate for governor, made a campaign freeze in Pittsburgh Thursday. A former Pittsburgh factory that was renovated as a technology center served as the backdrop.
Corman, 57, of Center County, is in his sixth term in the state Senate, serving as pro tempore president.
He is one of nearly a dozen Republicans who have so far announced applications for the GOP nomination in the gubernatorial race.
On Thursday, Corman unveiled key elements of his platform at Mill 19 on the Hazelwood Green grounds, focusing on topics such as energy, education and personal freedom. He said his children – and what the future holds for them in Pennsylvania – inspired him to run for the highest office in the state.

"They need to feel that they have the individual liberties to do well here in Pennsylvania," Corman said. "In the past 12 to 18 months we have seen a top-down violation of our freedoms and a top-down approach to government."
Corman, a critic of Governor Tom Wolf's Covid-19 response, said he disagreed with the governor's decisions to close deals marked "negligible" and suspend elective medical procedures in the early days of the pandemic.
"We are not a" stay-and-home-and-let-the-government-refund-it-out-society. We are a can-do society, "he said. "I'm going a different way. No matter what, I will protect your individual freedoms. "
If the virus surge continues, Corman said he will set health and safety requirements for businesses so they can stay open in a safe manner.
"We focused on how many people had Covid," he said of Wolf's approach. "We didn't focus on what the downtime cost us."
Corman said he is determined to create more job opportunities across the state – something he believes can be achieved by helping the energy sector.
"There is currently no other sector that is growing to the level of the energy sector," he said. "We're seeing this more in southwest Pennsylvania than anywhere else now."
Corman and other Republican lawmakers have opposed Wolf's efforts to include Pennsylvania in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, arguing that doing so would cost the state jobs and increase energy bills.
"That's obviously a big part of the economy here," Corman said of the energy business. "We can do better than that. With the cheap electricity we have, the natural resources and access to markets, we are a place people should be looking for. "
Don Smith, President of Regional Industrial Development Corp. (RIDC) in southwest Pennsylvania, described Corman as "a great partner for economic development initiatives in the Commonwealth".
In terms of education, Corman addressed the importance of public schools. He promised to highlight commercial and vocational schools, especially those that could offer training for adults who do not seek additional training or professional training immediately after graduating from high school.
"Whether building craft training centers where you can learn and earn money at the same time, whether vocational schools with adult education programs, we have to do everything we can," he said.
This could also include financial support for the construction of new vocational training centers, he said.

Jason attended the Parliamentary launch of Beating Bowel Cancer's "1,2,3 Campaign" this week to help encourage everyone over the age of 60 to take part in bowel cancer screening.
Bowel cancer is the UK's second biggest cancer killer. Around 1230 people are diagnosed with bowel cancer in West Yorkshire each year and almost half will die from the disease. Early diagnosis is the key to saving lives; if diagnosed early, over 90% of patients could be successfully treated. Therefore screening has a major role to play in reducing deaths from bowel cancer.
Beating Bowel Cancer has calculated that a further 1,279 lives could be saved every year if participation in bowel cancer screening matched other national cancer screening programmes in England. Although all people between the ages of 60 and 75 are invited to take part in the screening programme, currently only 54% of people in Colne Valley do, the same as the national average.

Q: PhotoCell circuit with identity I have a photocell that gives me the intensity of light in voltage. I want to add a unique number (that I can hard-code on the chip) along with the photocell info and send in a format I can read using a digital computer (Arduino). Any suggestion when I can start?

A: Sounds like you want to shop for a cheap micro controller that's easy to work with, has an ADC, and a small amount of flash memory.  Almost every silicon vendor will claim to have something meeting that requirement, what you are familiar with and can easily buy in appropriate quantities may matter as much as the technical details of the offering.  If you already have an arduino, another atmel part such as one of the 8-pin attiny's might be attractive.
You write a little program with a loop that reads the photocell through the ADC, bundles it with an ID number which you store in the flash beside your program, and ships it off through something like a serial port to whatever system needs the information.
Serial port can be a UART peripheral or bit-banged in a software timing loop.  For short runs people often skip the line driver/receiver on each end and signal at logic voltage rather than the higher voltage (and inverted sense, the drivers/receivers invert for you) of the RS232 spec.  Or you can use other schemes, synchronous ones like SPI or I2C being popular as well.

A: You might want to look at maxim one-wire bus devices.
They share a bus connection and ground and your ardunio can interrogate the bus.
Each device has a unique identifer and can be read.
The DS2438 is a cheap member of the family that can measure voltage.
(The DS2450 was a quad A/D converter but it was a buggy chip and is now obsolete.)

Last night, Doug came over to run a game for Irfan and I before he had to move, and it would be more difficult to meet up at nights regularly.
We played Golden Sky Stories for the first time. Set in rural Japanese township (not unlike a films like Tonari No Totoro) Golden Sky Stories is a tabletop roleplaying game where players take the role of magical animals called henge who are able to change into human form.
It's a great game to be played with children because there's not a single iota of violence, or situations that put the player characters in dire peril. It's all to do with making friends with other henge or little children in a small township in a rural Japanese countryside.
In fact, if you can grasp the situations in Tonari no Totoro where characters experience wonder and express their likes and dislike in childlike ways. The characters are never in any physical danger and there are no villains.
Doug and Irfan and shoes!
Task resolution is not achieved by rolling dice, but with points that you use to activate your powers, or increase your characteristics to beat a target number or your opponent's characteristics. It's like GUMSHOE's resource management system without rolling any d6s.
Whatever you need to do can be defined by four characteristics: Henge, Animal, Adult and Child. You also have points in Dreams, Wonder, and Feelings. Dreams allow you to create and strengthen connections with other characters. You also spend Dreams to transform into your human form or partial human form. Wonder allows you to activate your magical powers. Feelings are the points you need to increase your characteristics to beat high target numbers.
We generated characters quickly. Irfan was Kamineko the grey sleepy cat who lazes all over the town of Hitotsuna. I played Kuro, the black rabbit who lives in the town school, who thinks he's a dog.
Kuro was digging up (or trying to dig up bones) in a field outside of town when he came across Kamineko who was trying to sleep on top of an old abandoned shrine. Kuro invited Kamineko to help him dig for bones, but the cat henge refused to help the manic, identity-challenged rabbit henge.
Suddenly Kuro discovered that there was another henge in the shrine. It was a fox who identified herself as Suzune. The shrine was hers!
After a conversation that led to Suzune to bash her head on the side of her shrine because of Kuro's insistance that he was a dog, it began to get dark. Kuro and Kamineko thought it was time to get back home and transformed into their half-human forms (by spending Dreams.) Then it started to rain!
Kuro transformed back into his rabbit form and hid in the shrine. But Suzune convinced them all to huddle together under a big tree.
Kuro noticed something strange. There were no clouds in the sky and the full moon was bright. Kuro used her Please power to act cute, rub against Suzune's legs to get her to submit to his cuteness. Suzune began to weep. She said she was lonely and no one had come to her shrine for many, many years. Kuro promise that he and Kamineko would come every day to visit her so she wont be lonely.
Immediately the rain stopped. Suzune was happy, bade her new friends farewell, then waited for the next time Kamineko and Kuro would visit.
After that, we created new Connections and Irfan spent Dreams to strengthen the non-player character Suzune's connection with him.
Irfan had some trouble adapting to the whimsical and childlike aspects of the game, probably because he was more used to firing blasters in Star Wars and using an axe in BareBones Fantasy, but in later talks he appeared to be able to grasp the concepts better. Perhaps he would be able to game better should we play it again.
Many thanks to Doug for running Golden Sky Stories for us!

Discussion in 'Introductions' started by Fudanshi, Oct 17, 2018.
I am a newcomer to this site, although I don't totally understand what it is or for.
Is it just like, a more mature and strict version of GameFAQs?
EXP requirements? You need 10 posts to do most things, and 100 posts to access the site's full featureset. There's no kind of EXP requirement lol.
Anyway you're a Fire Emblem fan?
GameFAQs? Nah. Discussions on here are a lot more civil and don't just boil down to bashing on individual games/series like on GameFAQs. People here also a considerable amount more pleasant than on there. You don't get flamed for having a different opinion than someone. Overall the experience is much, MUCH better.
Subtle Demise, Fudanshi and JiveTheTurkey like this.
I was talking about the Level Up EXP Requirements.
You need like, close to 30000 EXP to reach max level, but you only get 1 EXP for most things.
500 is the maximum amount of EXP you can get at once, and that is only if your thread reaches 1,000,000 views.
I highly doubt anybody could ever even come close to reaching max level in their entire lifetime unless they were a celebrity.
Also yes I am a huge Fire Emblem fan.
And by huge fan, I mean I started a few days ago and I am in love.
Playing through Fates Conquest: Normal - Casual now.
Then I'll be attempting Fates Conquest: Lunatic - Casual and see how I do.
Also Male Corrin x Niles is a thing and I love it.
It's actually what first got my attention.
That, and I mained Corrin in Smash before I knew about this game.
As far as XP goes, I think anyone who regularly logs in and posts from time to time will hit level 2-4 fairly fast. All in all though, it's just a fun game for the users to get invested in being active, so don't worry about it too much.
GBAtemp is like a mix of all the existing game forums, without the ridiculous gamefaqs mini squabbles, mostly, and without the strict mods of resetera. Fairly lax forum, tbh, and one that focuses on the community. Hope you enjoy your time here!

Hi Fudanshi! Hope you enjoy your stay here and welcome to the forums.
Couple questions from a newcomer.


A genetically modified cyborg dragonfly that can spy on anyone has successfully completed it first test flight.
Dubbed the DragonflEye, the half-insect, half-machine is fitted with a fingernail-sized backpack, powered by a solar panel and remotely controlled by an operator.
The dragonfly can be used for 'guided pollination' as well as surveillance missions that will see the tiny insects reach areas that other drones can't, according to researchers.
Researchers from Draper and Howard Hughes Medical Institute performed DragonflEye flighttests at the Janelia Research Campus in Virginia.
The insect could soon be used to carry payloads, according to Jesse Wheeler, a senior biomedical engineer at Draper which collaborated with the Howard Hughes Medical Institute to carry out the DragonflEye program.
To create the DragonflEye, engineers had to develop a way of genetically modifying the nervous system of the dragonfly so it can respond to pulses of light.
To do this, the team gave the insect a gene which added light-sensitive proteins called ospins to the neurons.
This then allowed the neurons to be activated by the light – sent by an interface in the 'backpack' called an optrode.
The neurons then kicked into its usual routine of sending signals to the wings to encourage the insect to fly.
Mr Wheeler said: 'In order to begin guidance of dragonflies, several key technologies needed to be developed.
'Howard Hughes Medical Institute focused on developing gene delivery methods specific to the dragonfly to make special 'steering' neurons sensitive to light.
'Draper developed a miniaturized backpack for autonomous navigation and a flexible optrode to control the modified neurons by guiding light around the dragonfly's tiny nerve cord.
'Our first-generation system is based upon early mockup backpacks that were fitted to dragonflies to test ergonomics and weight limits.
Previous experiments of this kind have generally taken one of two approaches.
One is to create a higher-level drive in the fly's organism to move in a given direction otherwise in its own fashion.
The other is to activate the movements directly by tapping into the muscles or neural interfaces in the legs themselves.
In the first case, the insect can get used to those urges and eventually ignore them; in the second, efficient natural movement is replaced with clumsy artificial stumbling.
The DragonflEye project took a middle road between those options, meaning there would be no concerns about the insect getting used to impulses or having to learn how to flap each wing.


Millions in the US take prescription drugs to help them sleep and defeat insomnia. The main pharmaceutical drugs prescribed for sleep problems are "hypnotics" like Ambien, Lunesta, Sonata, or benzodiazepines like Temazepam.
Sleep is essential, so what's wrong with taking drugs to make me sleep?
There are many problems with drugs that are promoted as "sleep drugs" or sleeping pills.
It is important to point out that sleeping pills do not actually lead you to real sleep, they cause a state of sedation instead.
Association of hypnotics with stroke risk: a population-based case-control study.
Hypnotics' association with mortality or cancer: a matched cohort study.
Is usage of hypnotics associated with mortality?


← Readdle's Birthday Gift – Scanner Pro App Price Reduction !
Familiar with Co:Writer software, the word prediction software from Don Johnston, Inc.? It's gone mobile – the Co:Writer app is now available for iPhone/iPad (17.99).
Co:Writer predicts the intended word with a selection of word suggestions using powerful grammar-smart word prediction. These suggestions can be read aloud with a swipe. Selecting the intended word places it into the document. For feedback while writing (and after writing) built-in text to speech can be used to read letters, words, sentences, and the entire document.
Co:Writer has access to a main prediction dictionary (that includes core words) and Topic Dictionaries (that includes topic specific words).
Co:Writer handles the widest range of spelling mistakes through its Flexspell™technology including phonetic spelling and inventive spelling errors (letter omissions, word ending omissions, letter reversals, etc).
1. The blk jargon flu over the bra lfnt.
2. R u hpy to ce me?
3. I no hw to nor the fone.
1. The black dragon flew over the gray elephant.
2. Are you happy to see me?
3. I know how to answer the phone.
Co:Writer bases its prediction off of proper grammar, and uses its understanding of grammar to accurately predict words within the framework of valid sentence structures.
2. Three very mangy dogs ran down the street. (adj., adv., adj., noun, verb… etc.) – After typing three, very, mangy, you get plural noun choices, then you get plural verb tenses.
Work Flow options includes Dropbox, Google Drive, social media, email, messaging, printing and saving/copying (?) from Co:Writer . Great options for schools.
Many of the features of the desktop software appears integrated into the Co:Writer mobile app. Sure hope to give it a drive soon. Has anyone had a chance to trial it?
This looks like a great addition to a students, teachers or OT mTool Kit !
Wouldn't it be great to have Draftbuilder on a mobile device???
