Q: Translating CURL to FLEX HTTPRequests I am trying to convert from some CURL code to FLEX/ActionScript.
Since I am 100% ignorant about CURL and 50% ignorant about Flex and 90% ignorant on HTTP in general...
I'm having some significant difficulty.
The following CURL code is from http://code.google.com/p/ga-api-http-samples/source/browse/trunk/src/v2/accountFeed.sh
I have every reason to believe that it's working correctly.
       USER_EMAIL="myaccount@gmail.com" #Insert your Google Account email here
       USER_PASS="secretpass" #Insert your password here

       googleAuth="$(curl https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin -s \
       -d Email=$USER_EMAIL \
       -d Passwd=$USER_PASS \
       -d accountType=GOOGLE \
       -d source=curl-accountFeed-v2 \
       -d service=analytics \
     | awk /Auth=.*/)"
       feedUri="https://www.google.com/analytics/feeds/accounts/default\
       ?prettyprint=true"

       curl $feedUri --silent \
       --header "Authorization: GoogleLogin $googleAuth" \
       --header "GData-Version: 2"

The following is my abortive attempt to translate the above CURL to AS3
    var request:URLRequest=new URLRequest("https://www.google.com/analytics/feeds/accounts/default");
    request.method=URLRequestMethod.POST;
    var GoogleAuth:String="$(curl https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin -s " +
        "-d Email=myaccount@gmail.com " +
        "-d Passwd=secretpass " +
        "-d accountType=GOOGLE " +
        "-d source=curl-accountFeed-v2" +
        "-d service=analytics " +
        "| awk /Auth=.*/)";
    request.requestHeaders.push(new URLRequestHeader("Authorization", "GoogleLogin " + GoogleAuth));
    request.requestHeaders.push(new URLRequestHeader("GData-Version", "2"));
    var loader:URLLoader=new URLLoader();
    loader.dataFormat=URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;
    loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, GACompleteHandler);
    loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, GAErrorHandler);
    loader.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, GAErrorHandler);
    loader.load(request);

This probably provides you all with a good laugh, and that's okay, but if you can find any pity on me, please let me know what I'm missing.  I readily admit functional ineptitude, therefore letting me know how stupid I am is optional.

A: Hey, interesting question.
curl is a unix command, which you'd run in the terminal.  It returns the raw html page of the url you've requested.
So you can't just copy the curl command into Actionscript since Flash/Flex doesn't allow you to execute command line scripts (AIR 2.0 does, but that's not relevant here).
The goal of the curl command is to get the Authentication token from Google.  So all you need to do is set your GoogleAuth variable to the result of a first HTTP Request to google with the parameters you're providing, something like this (pseudo code, haven't tested):
var authenticate:URLRequest = new URLRequest("https://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin")
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
variables.Email = "myemail@gmail.com";
variables.Passwd = "mypass";
variables.accountType = "GOOGLE";
variables.source = "MyApplication Name";
variables.service = "analytics";
authenticate.data = variables;
var loader:URLRequest = new URLRequest();
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, authenticated);
loader.load(authenticate);

protected function authenticated(event:Event):void
{
  var request:URLRequest=new URLRequest("https://www.google.com/analytics/feeds/accounts/default");
  request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
  var GoogleAuth:String = event.data;
  request.requestHeaders.push(new URLRequestHeader("Authorization", "GoogleLogin " + GoogleAuth));
  request.requestHeaders.push(new URLRequestHeader("GData-Version", "2"));
  var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
  loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.BINARY;
  loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, GACompleteHandler);
  loader.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, GAErrorHandler);
  loader.addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, GAErrorHandler);
  loader.load(request);
}

So first, you get the authenticated token (which you then save and reuse in all your URLRequest headers), then you make your call to Google Analytics.
Hope that helps,
Lance

A: If you're going to be doing a lot of development over HTTP, you should also look into using something like Charles Proxy or Firebug to debug and view your actual HTTP requests.

Home News 2019 May CaroMont Health Set to Invest More Than $300 Million in Gaston County
CaroMont Health Set to Invest More Than $300 Million in Gaston County
05-20-2019 By CaroMont Health
GASTONIA, NC – CaroMont Health today announced plans to invest more than $300 million in capital projects and facility improvements in Gaston County over the next five years. Projects include the addition of a critical care tower on the main campus of CaroMont Regional Medical Center in Gastonia, the construction and renovation of several medical office buildings, and the construction of a second hospital in Belmont.
"CaroMont Health has provided life-changing and life-saving medical care to the citizens of Gaston County for nearly 75 years," said Chris Peek, President and Chief Executive Officer at CaroMont Health. "This investment is a reflection of our unwavering commitment to this community and the thousands of patients who trust us to care for them."
The most significant financial investment in the history of the health system comes as CaroMont Health looks to offer more convenient access to advanced healthcare in areas where population totals are expected to climb.
"With nearly 250,000 patient encounters every year at CaroMont Regional Medical Center, the hospital has experienced a very steady increase in patient volume over the last several years," said Peek. "Coupled with the projected growth of our community and the advancing age of our patient population, the need for hospital-based care continues to rise. The construction of a second hospital in Belmont will extend our clinical network to better serve communities in the eastern part of Gaston County, and the expansion of critical care services at CaroMont Regional Medical Center will firmly establish the main hospital as a central hub for advanced medical and surgical care in our region."
The allocation of healthcare services is guided by the North Carolina State Medical Facilities Plan (SMFP), a document prepared annually at the direction of the North Carolina Department of Health & Human Services Division of Health Service Regulation and the North Carolina State Health Coordinating Council. The 2019 SMFP outlines the need for 33 additional hospital beds in Gaston County, with more expected in the 2020 plan.
In the coming months, the health system will seek to obtain the Certificate of Need (CON) required to build and open the new hospital, and will also pursue the necessary regulatory approval to reallocate and add critical care beds to the main campus.
Critical Care Expansion at CaroMont Regional Medical Center
The construction of a second patient tower on the campus of CaroMont Regional Medical will expand critical care services at the hospital, an area that already sees large patient volumes. The planned expansion, currently estimated to open as early as 2022, will offer approximately 50 additional patient rooms with a floor plan designed to maximize care delivery and patient experience.
Medical offices in Cramerton, Bessemer City, Gastonia
Also included is the construction of a 22,000-square-foot family medicine practice in Cramerton, expected to open later this year, and the opening of a new family medicine practice in Bessemer City, expected to welcome patients this summer. Still in development are plans for medical office buildings on and around the main hospital campus.
CaroMont Regional Medical Center - Belmont
While services are still being planned for CaroMont Regional Medical Center-Belmont, the facility is expected to offer an emergency department, inpatient units for patients requiring admission or observation, a labor and delivery unit, and a full complement of diagnostic services including laboratory and imaging. Pending CON approval, the hospital could open as early as 2023.
CaroMont Health has selected a site near the crossing of Highway 273 and Interstate 85 to build the new hospital. Owned by Belmont Abbey, the founder and sponsor of Belmont Abbey College, the property lies adjacent to the school's campus. The health system will enter into a long-term agreement to lease the land and plans to support Belmont Abbey College's future establishment of a health sciences program.
"Belmont Abbey College exemplifies the true spirit of our community – one of progress, integrity, excellence and virtue – and shares many of our core values," said Peek. "Much like healthcare, education has the unique ability to enrich and support not only the recipient, but also all who surround them. A highly regarded institution like Belmont Abbey, focused on the advancement of others, strengthens our community. We are proud to be part of such a historic moment."
Belmont Abbey College leadership echoed praise for the partnership.
"The monks of Belmont Abbey happily welcome this exciting opportunity for Belmont Abbey College and CaroMont Health to combine our shared values and cooperate in promoting the welfare of our Gaston County community and its future growth and prosperity," said Abbot Placid Solari, O.S.B., of the Belmont Abbey monastic community.
"Bringing together two remarkable and storied institutions, the partnership between CaroMont Health, a leading healthcare provider, and Belmont Abbey College, a leading institution of higher education, is a game changer for the region and beyond. We are excited about the opportunity to collaborate with CaroMont Health to provide the highest levels of medical care and academic excellence," said Dr. Bill Thierfelder, president of Belmont Abbey College.
CaroMont Health Board of Directors Chairman Donnie Loftis acknowledged the historic nature of the announcement and what it means for so many in the community.
"As we embark upon a time of incredible expansion and growth for CaroMont Health, we must acknowledge the visionary leadership of so many who have come before us, those who worked tirelessly to ensure a small hospital grew into a strong and thriving health system," said Loftis. "The next phase in CaroMont Health's history is made possible through the guidance of the Board of Directors, the expertise of our healthcare professionals, the support of our community and the trust of our patients."

From the 1841 England Census (HO107 Piece 528/9 Folio 54 Page 2) Margaret, 13, was with her parents Thomas, 45, Farmer, and Margaret, 40, in Cow Ridding, Colton, Lancashire, England. With her were her siblings Mathew, 15, John, 15, Thomas, 15, Elizabeth, 11, James, 9, William, 6, Phebe Jane, 3, and Mary, 4 months. Everyone was recorded as being born in Lancashire.


Only an idiot would expect a crew of stunning girls in a small bar like yours but you have a better than average set of girls.
Most bar girls, unlike go go girls, go long time and are expecting customers for the night not a couple of hours or so, and that is still the norm.
Is your bar the same ?
I ask because you will know or your cashier will, also is the 500 baht BF for LT, that's if they are, and you, are are prepared to allow it ?
The reason I ask is that as your saying your open until 4am. If most of your girls have been bar-fined LT much earlier in the night your bar loses much of its attraction as a girly bar.
All the very best to you Phil, i'll be very surprised if with your experience in the business and your emphasis on customer care that Le Pub is not a storming success. Wifey and i are due to visit Pattaya soon and we'll deffo pop in and see you for a beer or three, i know the location well having used the soi as a walk through to WS on many occasions.
Good on you for taking the jump and good luck. I do like to people watch so I shall pop in during my next visit.
I am a day drinker, usually go to bars where there are no ladies "available", so never buy LadyDrinks, but happy to tip if the service is right.
A little embarassed to come to your bar, as I feel uncomfortable to say to a girl I not want company (kind of complex).
But nevertheless will try once,when back in Pattaya next month.
I suppose we will never meet,as it seems you are there starting 7 p.m.;time I am already back home.
Will be calling in when i'm in town next..
The barfine is 500 baht, up to her if she comes back. Up to her what she charges. I try to keep it simple.
Tin Tin. You'll be made most welcome in the bar daytime but obviously, it's the girls' job to "take care" and they may sit with you.
Just tell them that you'd rather be alone. Problem solved.
Thank you,I know it's nearly an unsolvable issue for a Beer Bar owner with "working ladies" : should the girls promulgate themself or should they wait till the customer wave them.
Very kind words mate. Thanks.
There I go jumping to conclusions... you wrote about 'we' in the OP so I assumed (wrongly) that you were in cahoots with another business partner/s. Extra kudos for going it alone..most wouldn'tbe so brave.
I'll stop by soon for a looksy and a chat..might even buy you an orange juice 555. Cheers.
Boing Boing - Good luck Phil. You have the knowledge and experience to make Le Pub a success. Baggies aren't doing too bad either !
Yes, I'm trying to recruit Tony Pulis as a daytime manager.
Having a staff party in Sunday 8th January.
There's going to be a big porker there and it isn't me. And som tam and plenty of yaa dong for my hard working ladies.
I have updated my agenda for this upcoming August, so expect my visit for a friendly hi!!
Haven't found this info in the thread, but, bar has rooms for ST?
Staff party on Sunday. Hope you can make it.
Not goddesses, but fair enough.
Interests:Small and large breasted women!
Thanks for having me the other day Phil. Nice bar and I wish you all the best.
But Rangpur is on another level.
Holy poop, there is Hendrick's?
Do I need to bring my own cucumber, or is the staff briefed on the need for a couple slices in a proper G&T with that one?
Guys, I have 20 girls now and more on the way. Please come and take them off my hands. Cheers.


Belize is perfect for eco-tourism because of its spectacular teeming jungles, lush rainforests, dry pine savannas, tangled mangrove swamps, and dynamic coral reefs. It is truly one of the best examples in the New World Tropics of a species rich, biologically diverse country and is a leader in conservation initiatives.
On the other hand, it is estimated that Belize produces approximately 350,000 tons of solid waste annually from domestic households and commercial establishments. This means that each person living in Belize produces approximately two to three pounds of solid waste every day.
With so much garbage, illegal dumping has become a serious and growing problem in Belize. But, Belize is not sitting around doing nothing about it! On the contrary, dozens and dozens of universities and facilities for higher education from around the world have partnered with various governmental and corporate entities throughout Belize to foster "experiential learning" opportunities to help people understand the value of a protected ecology.
What is experiential learning? It is learning by living. It is experiencing nature up close and personal through project-based, hands-on, community level field courses in watershed ecology, forest ecology, marine ecology and intercultural global ecology. It is exploring jungles, rivers and reefs while viewing these ecosystems through microscopes, binoculars, cameras, computers and eyes that can focus both outward and inward. It is facing our fear of nature and realizing its roots tangled in folklore and facts, seeking the threads of truth and understanding. It is reconnecting with the Earth through sky, rock, water and life and learning to live within our means while respecting the lives of others no matter what race, gender, age, nationality or species.
Chaa Creek is among those leading the way in this effort through their diverse educational programs and Belize Eco-Tours which begin the moment a guest arrives! Guests are given tips on how to best interact with the natural beauty of the resort and learn how they can make a difference even when they return home.
The creative team at Chaa Creek even developed a manual crusher for metal cans that are then used as fill material in concrete building foundations. The design of this device was donated to the Belize Ecotourism Association who promotes it as a recycling tool that is sold as a fund raiser. Bravo Chaa Creek!

the new deal compilation – this excellent face down records sampler features two tracks each from nine bands. [taggart's] contributions, the kinks-like aggro-pop of 'st. nick' and the nirvana surf-blast of 'lemonade', are both standouts. lemonlime's hypnotic 'sleep' achieves a lennon-like genius. the dipsomaniacs contribute three outstanding pop songs including a super-peppy version of the partridge family classic 'i think i love you'.

Q: Required permissions cannot be acquired error using Assembly.LoadFrom(String) in winforms I have a winforms application that loads some dll (that I have also written and installed together with the app) at runtime with Assembly.LoadFrom(String). The dll is inside a sub directory of the path where the exe is placed.
Occasionally, the app cannot start in a particular computer and comes out with a exception "Could not load file or assembly 'mydll, Version=1.2.4.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. Failed to grant minimum permission requests. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131417)" and an inner exception "Required permissions cannot be acquired" at "System.Security.SecurityManager.ResolvePolicy(Evidence evidence, PermissionSet reqdPset, PermissionSet optPset, PermissionSet denyPset, PermissionSet& denied, Boolean checkExecutionPermission)".
The code is straight forward:
   Assembly^ myAssembly = Assembly::LoadFrom(path);
The dlls need to be loaded at runtime as they are optional.
I have been researching this long but all I find is related to asp.net which does not help me much. I am not using any asp.net.
It only has happened in very, very, few machines to which I have not access neither I do really know the user privileges but the app does not need Admin privileges in any operation and runs with limited user privileges.
Is there a way I can protect the app from this and load the DLL? Obviously, I can handle the exception but, ultimately, I need the dll to be loaded.

A: Can't say if this answer will do you any good or not, but I use an alternate approach to the loading mechanism:
String dllFolder = "folder of DLLs";
DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(Path.Combine(Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location), dllFolder));
FileInfo[] fia = di.GetFilesByExactExtension("dll", SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly);
foreach (FileInfo fi in fia)
{
   Byte[] bytes = File.ReadAllBytes(fi.FullName);
   if (bytes.Length > 0)
   {
       Assembly theDLL = Assembly.Load(bytes);
       if (theDLL != null)
       {
           //...optionally do something more with the instance
       }
   }
}

I've had mixed results with the "load it straight from a file via Load()" method.
GetFilesByExactExtension() is an extension method, btw.

A: You could try :
Assembly^ myAssembly = Assembly::LoadFrom(Path::Combine(AppDomain::CurrentDomain->BaseDirectory, path))

Llankelly Place is a modest but bustling laneway connecting Orwell St and Darlinghurst Rd in Kings Cross. Lit by this series of large, brightly-coloured starbursts, inspired by the nearby El Alamein Memorial Fountain, this busy lane has become a much-loved Kings Cross landmark.
The lights and the decorative pavements beneath, both designed by architect Peter McGregor, transformed the dark, narrow passage into a welcoming pedestrian walkway.
The lights are arranged in a spectrum of colours, from red at the entrance to Darlinghurst Rd, through orange and yellow, to green where the laneway meets the small oasis of the Springfield Gardens at Orwell Rd.
In 2013, the lights underwent a major restoration. The 11 giant coloured 'medallions' were restored with new weatherproof light fittings and energy-efficient LED bulbs, new cables and wiring.

Unviversal Unveils Their "Dark Universe"
Erich Martin May 23, 2017 Movies & TV, News 1 Comment 2,486 Views
Universal announced on Monday evening that their very own connected cinematic universe was on the way.
The idea of yet another extended universe shouldn't hit anyone as a huge surprise. Marvel did it, DC is in the process of working towards the idea, Legendary is making what looks to be an excellent "Kaiju-verse." The idea of a connected cinematic universe isn't new, but the properties at stake here are so well known and have such regard in the public mythos, that I really hope they don't screw it up.
The movie set to kick off the universe is The Mummy, starring Tom Cruise. Up until the announcement of this new universe, I honestly thought that the new mummy was just a remake of the Brenden Frasier series from the early 2000's, which was, just a re-imagining of Universal's original mummy flick. The announcement that Dr. Jeckyl would make an appearance in the Mummy reallly sets up this announcement as more of an "Is anyone really surprised?"
I know I am not surprised, but given the history behind these monsters, I can't wait to see where a non-musical Phantom of the Opera goes with a 20XX film budget.
I just hope that by the end of this cinematic run, we get to see the Phantom and the Invisible Man on some sort of team up movie.
Take a look at the first trailer for the Dark Universe, detailing and describing the legacy of the Universal monsters, below:

Phantom would be great, seems like there's a heck of a lot of Invisible Man in this retro trailer too, so I assume he'll be coming up too. I'd really like a badass Van Helsing though, to go along with a Drac flick.

Watch: Dr. Joseph Kim uses latest technology to promote best patient outcomes
Oct. 25, 2018 / by UK HealthCare
This week, we caught up with Dr. Joseph Kim, the chief of surgical oncology at the UK Markey Cancer Center for our latest Making the Rounds conversation. His clinical interests include the surgical treatment of hepatobiliary, gastric and pancreatic cancers, and he is skilled in robotic surgery as well as other complex operations. We talked to Dr. Kim about how he became a doctor and what he looks forward to every day here at Markey.
How did you become interested in medicine?
I grew up in Chicago and had the opportunity to volunteer at a hospital. That piqued my interest in helping patients with cancer.
What are some of your areas of expertise?
I bring with me years of experience doing the most difficult cancer operations. I utilize the most innovative techniques and have performed more than 100 robotic GI cancer operations.
I also perform a very complicated operation for patients with peritoneal surface cancers, which may include cancers of the appendix, the stomach, the ovary and the GI tract. This operation involves heated intraperitoneal chemotherapy, which we refer to as HIPEC surgery. This cancer procedure involves removal of all the cancer that we can see with our eyes.
What's one of the highlights of being an oncologist?
I received a letter from a patient with pancreatic cancer who I had operated on over five years ago. People had told him that he's not going to live beyond a year or two years. He sent me a letter thanking me that he was still alive after five years. That's something that just makes my day.
What inspires you as a doctor?
As we grow up, we develop new inspirations. Wanting to be like my sister when I was younger, having children now and wanting them to have a good role model, and then having my mother be treated for lung cancer, these are all inspirations for the things that I do every day to make things better, to make things easier.
Watch our interview with Dr. Joseph Kim, where he explains his journey to becoming a doctor and how Markey oncologists work as a team to provide the best possible care.
Growing up around the operating room inspired this cancer surgeon Mother's cancer scare led Dr. Kudrimoti to radiation oncology Oncologist Patrick O'Donnell on why he has the world's best job

Press Release Jul 8, 2009
Town of South Windsor Virtualizes "Top to Bottom" – DataCore Enables IT Department to Repurpose Systems and Avoid Costly Rip-and-Replace
Powered by Virtualization: Connecticut town achieves its objective of embracing business continuity and disaster recovery – within budget, without compromising on capabilities.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Florida – July 8, 2009 – DataCore Software, the leading provider of storage virtualization, business continuity and disaster recovery software solutions, today announced that the Town of South Windsor in Connecticut has realized tremendous benefits after deploying DataCore's SANmelody storage virtualization software as its storage area network (SAN). Prior to DataCore, the Town of South Windsor was grappling with an older, converted Novell network that the IT Department had migrated to Microsoft. In the words of the current network administrator for the town, this was literally riddled with "single points of failure" everywhere. The IT team has now collapsed the two separate networks into one new network built from scratch. Moreover, Town of South Windsor has gone "all in" in terms of virtualization – deploying virtual servers, supported by virtual storage.
After being sold on VMware to address the IT Department's server-sprawl, the IT director at Town of South Windsor knew a SAN was needed to support the virtual machines. "However, the hardware SAN approach was just not going to happen," said Scott Roberts, IT director, Town of South Windsor. "Traditional SAN vendors were asking upwards of $250,000 just for the storage piece of the infrastructure puzzle. Our entire budget was $125,000 – for virtual servers, storage, new equipment, everything. The fact that DataCore allowed us to repurpose servers we already had on hand was a tremendous advantage as well."
A day in the life before DataCore: flirting with disaster
Before DataCore virtualized the town's approach to data storage, the town actually was managing two separate networks – one for the Town of South Windsor Police Department and one for the town government side itself. The town was completely reliant on tape back-up for recovery. "We had no business continuity or disaster recovery," explained Roberts. "It was a case of cross your fingers, hope and pray that the digital media will be restored form tape and we can get the equipment needed to get operational within a reasonable timeframe. A best-case scenario for this was that we would be back in business in 2-4 weeks."
Before VMware and DataCore, the IT landscape consisted of a bunch of old HP servers, with single uses – an Exchange "box," a virus scan "box," a database "box" for individual applications, etc. All and all, the IT team was managing seven individual tape backups that they had to manage. "There was no storage area network at all prior to DataCore," commented Lance Page, network administrator and project leader, Town of South Windsor. "If you lost the file and print server – you lost all the files."
It was clear that this would be an unsustainable situation for the town, going forward. Whereas a traditional hardware SAN with Fibre Channel connectivity would have delivered on most of the business objectives that the IT Department was striving for, this was far too expensive of a proposition for a town government on a tight budget. Fortunately, Roberts and Page were introduced to DataCore through an IT solutions provider that was a VMware and DataCore partner. SANmelody, DataCore's software-based storage virtualization solution, was just what the town needed to economically deliver the business continuity (BC) and disaster recovery (DR) the IT Department was desperately trying to put in place.
Virtualization and repurposing – to the rescue
Having learned the benefits of server virtualization from the VMware partner, the IT staff at Town of South Windsor was "all ears" to hearing what DataCore could do for them on the storage-side. "It was clear that if we wanted to go in the direction we were dead-set on going – and that is the way of virtualization – the DataCore was absolutely the right choice for us," added Roberts.
For half the price of a traditional hardware SAN alone, the IT folks at Town of South Windsor were able to buy the VMware licenses they required, three SANmelody SANs, as well as the necessary new equipment for the deployment – including two identical machines, as well as additional, new HP servers. Exisiting equipment was repurposed for the new deployment – delivering substantial savings. Two DataCore SANmelody nodes located in separate buildings are now running in an "active-active" capacity (connected synchronously through Fibre Channel), while a third runs in a completely different site and runs "active-passive" (connected via asynchronous mirroring using iSCSI). "We have faith in this network because of DataCore," commented Roberts. "That was not the case before we deployed the DataCore SAN."
Bottom-line benefits: real disaster recovery
Town of South Windsor can now lose an entire building and be up and running at a moment's notice, since the SANs are synchronized. The virtual servers that are connected to the SANs can also be restored quickly on the same premise – they are replicated too. "If one building explodes, all our data is already connected back to the second system at the other building," noted Page. "Our disaster recovery plan is set. So much so that if one building blows up, it will take me longer to drive to the other building than it will be to get the town's network back up and running. No joke."
Customer Snapshot – Town of South Windsor
With 25,000 residents, the Town of South Windsor encompasses roughly 26 square miles. Five people comprise the IT Department at the Town of South Windsor and all told, approximately 250 people work for the town. Anyone on the government side of things, other than the Board of Education, relies on the systems supported by a small IT team – including public safety, public works, finance, strategic planning, etc. Entities utilizing these systems are the Police Department, the Public Works Department, the Tax Collector, the Town Assessor, the Finance Office, Human Resources, the IT Department itself, the Recreation Department, the Human Services Department, and the Sewer Treatment Plant. For all of these IT "constituents," IT is charged with, among other things, ensuring that the 40-50 applications the systems support do so without interruption.

Part of my Summer Bucket List was take the train to Hanford and go to Superior Dairy. As summer is coming to an end (many tears here) I was finally able to coordinate a quick adventure on the train. Last Friday, my great friends Pam and Rema joined us along with their children. It was a fun challenge to take 3 strollers and 4 kids on the train:) I think all the kids loved it, especially Miss Em.
Unfortunately our train down to Hanford was really late and our train coming home was on time so we didn't have much time in Hanford. We had to jam when we got there. We ate at a yummy Mexican cantina close to Superior Diary and us moms enjoyed some frozen margaritas. We then scooted over to Superior Dairy and we all ordered Cookies and Cream Ice Cream. We ordered a single scoop and it was the biggest single scoop I've ever seen. I seriously think all us moms and kids could have split one!
Such a fun day- Thank you Pam and Rema for coming with us!!!

The other side of GPS functionality, which is sometimes forgotten, is the many uses it can be put to by individual consumers. Handheld GPS units and other GPS devices are available for sale through many ordinary retail channels, and can be very useful for a variety recreational purposes. For example, having a GPS device handy when camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, or boating can be an excellent way to ensure that you don't get lost, even if you somehow manage to wander off course.
Another common consumer use of GPS technology is for safety security purposes. Using a GPS tracking system can be an excellent way to combat crimes such as theft and kidnapping.

Tech 21 founder talks about gear, playing bass and hanging out with Les Paul
By David Sands
Andrew Barta launched his music equipment company Tech 21 in Manhattan in 1989. A musician himself, he didn't originally set out to become a celebrated manufacturer. But the success of his innovative SansAmp, an analog amp emulator, helped establish him as a pioneering figure in the music technology field. Now 30 years after its founding, Tech 21 is known as a go-to brand for amps guitar and bass effects, pedals and DI units.
At this year's Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim California, FBPO's Jon Liebman spoke with Barta about his love of the bass, the origins of his company, and his friendship with guitar legend Les Paul.

Our Global Neighbours: Studying Egyptian Flints
Stan Florek
The Wadi el-Sheikh quarry complex extends for several kilometres - millions of flint blades and knives were produced in antiquity.
Our Global Neighbours is a blog series containing stories from and about cultures around the world.
The marvellous Egyptian civilisation was virtually carved and erected with flaked stone tools comparable to those used by humans for over two million years of our Palaeolithic prehistory. In the past century a few students of Egyptology investigated this somewhat obscure and 'unexciting' field.
Now the Australian Museum is contributing to our understanding of the flint tools use in Egyptian antiquity. In 1900 Heywood Walter Seton-Karr (1859-1938) donated to the Museum about 120 flint artefacts from the Wadi el-Sheikh quarry site. Seton-Karr was a prominent collector of 'flints' and a game hunter.
He 'discovered' and surveyed a complex of flint mining sites and workshops at Wadi el-Sheikh in the desert east of the River Nile in 1896-97. He collected separate sets of artefacts from 15 different workshops and subsequently donated or sold them to various museums in Europe, Egypt and even Australia.
Wadi el-Sheikh Study CC Image: Stan Florek

Part of the collection was sold to (what was then) the Mayer Museum in Liverpool (UK) together with documentation, including maps and photos. Recognising its importance, the Liverpool Museum published a relatively comprehensive descriptive article, drawing on Seton-Karr's documentation and artefacts in its collection.
But well over half a ton of artefacts from Seton-Karr's collection, kept in different museums, remain unexamined although it represents significant material evidence, especially in the context of current political upheavals, which may render field archaeology in this area very difficult for some time to come.
Our study aims to contribute to the growing body of evidence on the importance of the Wadi El Sheikh mines in the Egyptian system of resources and provision of tools for daily, rudimentary work.
Our team includes archaeology student Sarah Carter (a good name for an Egyptologist!), Thomas Hikade, a specialist on Egyptian flaked artefacts (both University of Sydney) and Stan Florek.

This novel made me smile all the way through, and not just because I was lucky enough to be at a Q&A with the author in Toronto during the summer and I fell in love a little bit with her humour! Lindsey Kelk writes with ease, her novels are funny and the characters are always believable which immediately immerses you in the story.
Poor Maddie is walked all over in every aspect of her life. Most alarmingly for me her own family seems to think it acceptable to push her down. There is only one scene in the novel where we are treated to Maddie's interactions with her family and it was so awful I could hardly believe them all! Truly, I wish we'd had some positive scenes with her sister at some point and maybe a supportive phone call from her parents during her rough periods because they seemed liked they could have been a nice group- maybe?
Lauren and Sarah, though equally guilty, actually had their own stresses clearly laid out for us so it was no wonder both were in selfish-mode and wanted Maddie to pick up the pieces. I think their attitude was mostly temporary and was really happy they both came through for her in a moment of crisis- (though this was swiftly followed by the mother of all blowouts between the three!). Sometimes you just need to clear the air and I think their friendship really was apparent when they managed to come back together and apologise to each other for being so rotten and horrible.
It's always a pleasure to read a novel with a happy ending and always a pleasure to read Lindsey Kelk- she is on the top of my to-read list!

Note: the purpose of this code is to copy emails from one folder to another where both root folder name is same because the destination folder is just a mirror copy of source folder And for this emails were not copying if the both folder name is same, That's why I had to rename the destination folder when i'm adding to Store Session so that system can identify the source and destination folder as two different location.

Monkeys are used in many different ways in today's cultural. Monkeys are in zoos for amusement, experiments for social research and they are even used as services animals. While they can be extremely mean in the wild or even in zoos monkeys are actually quite smart.
Monkeys are able to be taught American Sign Language and other hand gestures in order to communicate with humans. In the 1970s a chimp named Nim became the first of his breed to learn sign language.
After Nim there was Koko the gorilla she was born in 1971 and was raised as a domestic animal as she was taught to communicate with humans.
All in all it seems that chimpanzees have a hard time learning sign language and communication skills but gorillas are able to grasp it.

Eres : Digital Library : Works : Paper eres2003_238:Land Value Taxation - An International Prospect?
This paper reports the progress on continuing research projects commissioned by the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy (USA) in which the authors are engaged. Earlier stages of this research, recording past efforts in Britain to establish land value taxation (LVT) as a vehicle for raising local government revenues and as an instrument of land policy, were followed by recommendations for specific proposals for introducing legislation and practice as compatible as possible with the existing planning system and the British Governmentís fiscal and taxation policies. This paper reviews the findings to date and widens the scope of the current examination beyond Britain into the European Union and further. Accordingly this paper addresses the potential for extending land value taxation within the expanding European Union, possibly as part of the mooted harmonisation ofPan-European taxes, which would bear comparison with extant methods in other parts of the world. Thus the hypothesis of this paper is that it is now timely and appropriate to contemplate an introduction of LVT into Britain, Europe and beyond. In support, various current pressures can be identified as accumulating for a change in taxation, particularly towards a more equitable distribution of the property tax burden and thus a fairer collection of Government revenues. Furthermore, as has been pointed out by Robertson (1998, 1999) and others, there is a present and growing movement towards ìtaxation shiftî, that is to say, a movement to reduce taxes away from enterprise, production and income sources towards the ìcost of using the environmentî. This, in turn, is connected to the whole theme of ìsustainability of the environmentî and ìsustainable developmentî arguments. But it is also relevant that Robertson has already recommended a whole raft of policies to include eco-tax reform and land value taxation, among the connected parts of a larger fiscal package. This paper sets these issues into context with the aspirations of property professions towards a commonality of standards in seeking fairness and equity in taxation matters and presents conclusions as to future prospects for land value taxation in Britain.

LoveReading View on The Grunts on the Run
The Grunts - Mr and Mrs and adopted son Sunny - are back, and as delightfully repulsive as ever. Yes, they wash with cheese (if there's no soap to hand), eat roadkill, and argue with one another all the time ('Choking hazard' 'Fly tip' just some of the terms of abuse hurled) but they're strangely lovable nonetheless. This new adventure sees them on the run from a group of criminals who hold the Grunts responsible for their misfortunes and culminates in a very funny chase involving a tractor, bunny slippers, a mummy on a sack and an enormous man in a bird suit. All ends happily for the Grunts, and there's even a surprise revelation about Sunny's background. There are jokes to appeal to readers of all ages while the author's asides alone are worth the cover price. Axel Scheffler's illustrations catch the daftness of the story perfectly. ~ Andrea Reece

Tips for places or events to visit, latest news from north central Massachusetts, and more!
It's a Wild, Wild World
Look Who's Living in Johnny's Backyard!
Although known for its orchards — and its seed-sowing namesake — there's more to Johnny Appleseed Country than fertile farms and taste-tempting farmstands.
With a wealth of protected land and a variety of natural habitats, North Central Massachusetts is prime wildlife country. The region is home to thriving populations of species such as moose, black bears, white-tailed deer, beavers, bald eagles, common loons, and great blue herons.
Birds, Bees, and Butterflies
The forest and fields of Johnny Appleseed Country are great spots for two-legged tourists and residents to enjoy and explore. They're also popular for fly-invisitors and inhabitants, otherwise known as birds, bees and butterflies. Today, the two groups are encouraged to meet and greet at some very special places like the community gardens and natural pollinator habitats across the region.
Lucy Keyes
The Lost Child of Wachusett Mountain
"Lu-cy . Lu-cy.". On quiet nights, it is said, the words echo through the woods of Princeton, Massachusetts. And there are those who believe the spirits of Lucy Keyes and her mother, Martha, can still be experienced on the southeast slope of Wachusett Mountain, where the Keyes family lived in the mid-1700s.
The Haunted Victorian
Real Haunted House?: Tour of the Victorian Mansion in Gardner
It's a fixture on Gardner's West Broadway, in the middle of town. A ornate Victorian, brimming with history, but locked inside its 12 foot oak front doors are stories that only a few can tell.
Step Into Country Charm
Looking for a quiet, quintessential New England town, still untouched by such "modern" conveniences as gas stations and supermarkets? Then head to Petersham, where stately shade trees line the town common, there isn't a stop light in sight, and you can, once again, linger at the country store to chat with friends and neighbors.
When your spring and summer wanderings take you along the backroads of Johnny Appleseed Country, you're sure to be beckoned by the call of New England's past.
Quaint antique shops, expansive antique co-ops, yard sales and flea markets all put out a siren song to travelers along the highways and byways. And at a time when communities are celebrating 250th anniversaries, it's not surprising that there are lots of antique and vintage treasures to be found here.
Slow Down for Shopping
Like many things, shopping has a different pace in Johnny Appleseed Country. Forget the rush, the temptation to run in, grab a gift, and run off to the next store. Out here in the country, the pace is a bit slower, the stores are homey, and you're likely to be invited to sample some freshly-baked goodies while you browse.
The Hunt is On!
Harvard Is Gem Of State's Solar Program
One in every 20 households in Harvard is now generating solar power as part of a state program that subsidizes the installation of solar panels.


The acquisition, announced today, allows EMC's InfoScape file management product more widespread data classification and security capabilities, the company says.
EMC Corp. announced Thursday afternoon that its RSA Security division will acquire privately held Tablus Inc. for an undisclosed amount. According to the company, the IP from this acquisition will be integrated into both its storage and security product lines.
The company's product performs data classification and policy-based enforcement of data, and the acquisition was principally made with the goal of preventing data "leakage" from organizations for security purposes. (For more on the data security implications of this announcement, please see EMC's RSA to acquire Tablus for data loss prevention" by Dennis Fisher on SearchSecurity.com.) But according to Dennis Hoffman, vice president and chief strategy officer at RSA, the software acquired from Tablus will also have integration points with storage and data management products, including the InfoScape file management software offering.
"There are three use cases [for this type of product]," Hoffman said. Two of them are security focused, but EMC also thinks there's a use case around "how to understand and classify data with an eye toward more efficiently storing and managing it, including how to migrate data intelligently between tiers of storage, which is what Infoscape initially set out to go after."
It remains unclear, however, what kind of customer traction EMC has seen with the InfoScape product, which was put together using pieces from Documentum, DiskXTender and Visual SRM, among other software products. It remains unknown how many EMC customers have purchased the product or are using it in production. Hoffman declined to comment on this subject.
"My belief is that InfoScape hasn't made huge strides in the market," said Arun Taneja, founder and analyst with the Taneja Group. The data classification market itself is in its early stages, and so far the biggest penetration into user accounts has been Network Appliance Inc.'s (NetApp) with partner Kazeon Systems Inc., "and even those are nickels and dimes."
By adding the ability to classify semistructured data, like email and structured data from databases, as well as data from endpoints, like desktop workstations, to the unstructured classification capabilities InfoScape already has, some experts believe the InfoScape product could become more palatable to users.
Currently, according to John Webster, principal IT advisor for Illuminata Inc., InfoScape is limited to seeing CIFS file shares attached to a network, as well as NFS file shares under HP-UX that are attached to a network. "This goes out and discovered unstructured, structured and semistructured data at rest, as well as data in flight," he said. "This is a big leap forward for a product like InfoScape -- anybody who's already looked at it and said 'that's nice, but when you get more serious about [its capabilities], let me know,' will now have to take a second look."
Greg Schulz, founder and analyst with the StorageIO Group, pointed out that IBM and Hewlett-Packard Co. (HP) have also recently added better data discovery and archiving capabilities for structured data with IBM's acquisition of Princeton Softech last week and HP's acquisition of database archiver OuterBay Technologies Inc. last year. "Then there are the email archiving and unstructured file [products], so the more capabilities that InfoScape can provide without becoming too watered-down should make it a more compelling and competitive product."
The data classification capabilities could also be added to archiving products, which Hoffman said is in EMC's plans, along with integration with the Rainfinity file virtualization product. It still remains unclear, though, exactly when these integrations will take place, or how. "The acquisition will close sometime in the early fourth quarter," according to an RSA spokesperson. "We don't have a specific timetable yet."

The 2017/18 Annual Report of the Aged Care Pricing Commissioner has just been released and provides information on trends over the past five years as well reporting on the 2017-18 financial year.
In the past financial year the Commissioner received 539 applications, an increase of 85% on the previous year, and approved 386. This included 220 applications for the renewal of lapsing approvals made on or before 1 July 2014, as approvals are valid for a four year period.
review and approve applications for Extra Service fees.
a New Application where an increase in price is sought.
The new short Renewal Application form sought from Providers information regarding contemporary photographs of the facility, Refundable Accommodation Deposit (RAD) history over the preceding 12 months, evidence of current value of the facility and any other information that Providers wished to submit in support of their Renewal Application.
Over 2017/18, the ACPC received 539 Applications, an increase of 85.22 % on 2016-17 when there were 291 Applications. Of the 539 Applications, 220 of these were Renewal Applications. The Renewal Applications were from 42 Providers, covering 66 Facilities and in respect of 2,978 rooms.
539 (including 220 Renewals and 319 Applications) in 2017/18.
902 as at 30 June 2017.
This steady decline of over 130 Providers over five years shows a continuing consolidation and rationalisation of Residential Aged Care Providers and this is a trend that is expected to continue over the next few years with tightening margins and financial pressures.
Over the last five years the ACPC has received applications from 170 Residential Aged Care Providers representing 18.85% of all Residential Aged Care Providers.
2,672 as at 30 June 2017.
As can be seen the number of Residential Aged Care Facilities nationally has remained fairly constant certainly over the last four years.
135 as at 30 June 2018.
So we have seen an almost doubling in the number of Facilities approved by the ACPC since 30 June 2015.
200,689 as at 30 June 2017.
As the figures above indicate, the number of places continues to grow fairly steadily over the last five years.
7,705 as at June 2018.
The ACPC has seen an increase of over 4,700 rooms approved since 30 June 2015. This increase is in part due to new and refurbished rooms coming into the Aged Care Sector.
86 as at 30 June 2018.
50 as at 30 June 2018.
So whilst the number of New and Refurbished Facilities approved by the ACPC has continued to increase, the rate of increase is tapering off, perhaps reflecting the financial pressures being experienced by the Aged Care Sector.
As recent research reveals, including reports by ACFA and StewartBrown, the level of investment in New and Refurbished Residential Aged Care Facilities will need to increase dramatically in order to not only replace existing old stock but to meet future expected demand with the baby boomer generation coming on line.
The office of the ACPC continues to work closely with Providers to ensure that applications stand the best chance of being approved. This educative role has meant that no Applications were actually rejected; rather Applications were revised, reframed or withdrawn on the basis after close consultation with my office that they would have been rejected in their original form. Actual rejections are of no benefit to anyone in the Aged Care Sector and the results shown below would tend to indicate an increasing level of knowledge and understanding of what is required to have a successful application that is ultimately approved by the ACPC.
31 Days for 386 Applications and Renewals in 2017/18.
The approval times above are all well within the 60 day period and reflects in 2017/18 an 85% increase in Applications/Renewals and a large increase in workload for Assessors within the office of the ACPC with no real change in the level of resources and some lessening of support and disruption with the departure of the Director during the 2017/18 year.

After a tremendous year, Amy Schneider wins the "Jeopardy!" tournament of champions
November 22, 2022 Tomiwa Thomas

Monday's episode of "Jeopardy!" featured the victory of Amy Schneider, a forty-game "Jeopardy!" champion, in a fiercely contested tournament of champions.
Schneider, a writer from Oakland, California, won three games in the tournament finals, edging out Andrew He, a software developer from nearby San Francisco, who won two games. Sam Buttrey, the third contender, was another Californian. He won one game.
Schneider's 40-game winning run, the second-longest in the history of the game show, began when she defeated He earlier this year.
She stated that she both desired and dreaded a rematch with He, known for his cold-blooded large wagers on the show's Daily Doubles.
Schneider stated, "I knew he was capable of defeating me because he had come close to doing so in the past, and he did it a couple of times here as well." Any one of the three of us could have won if a tiny number of circumstances had transpired differently.
Schneider led He by $1,400 entering Final Jeopardy, where the clue was: "The January 12, 1864 Washington Evening Star reported on a presentation of this 'dashing farce' to a "full and pleased" audience."
What is "Our American Cousin?" is the right response.
Both Schneider and He provided the correct response, but Schneider placed the larger wager. She earned the main prize of $250,000, he received $200,000 for coming in second, and Buttrey won $50,000.
John Wilkes Booth fatally killed President Abraham Lincoln on April 14, 1865, during a performance of "Our American Cousin" at Ford's Theatre in Washington.

Zombies Ate My Neighbors & Ghoul Patrol are coming to the Nintendo Switch in June
Disney Interactive and DotEmu are bringing LucasArts classic titles Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Ghoul Patrol to the Switch with some light improvements.
TJ Denzer
Among the wide and varied LucasArts catalogue of games, Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Ghoul Patrol on the Super Nintendo were standouts. Not based on any particular film franchise, these two games were simply fun and colorful romps in which players took on the roles of a couple of kids looking to save the neighborhood and other varied locations from the clutches of the undead. Now, those games are seemingly rising from the grave to make a comeback. It looks like Disney Interactive and DotEmu are getting ready to relaunch Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Ghoul Patrol as a package on the Nintendo Switch in June 2021.
The Lucasfilm Classic Games: Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Ghoul Patrol was discovered in a listing on the Nintendo Switch eShop, as reported by Nintendo Everything. Supposedly coming to Nintendo Switch on June 29, 2021, the package is supposed to feature both games and a few new features to go along with them, such as the ability to save anywhere throughout either game and a "museum"-like experience featuring behind-the-scenes content about the games, to name a few additions.
Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Ghoul Patrol first launched on the Super Nintendo in 1993 and 1994 respectively. The games are considered beloved classics and have appeared in Nintendo console re-releases since, most recently on the Wii U. Their arrival on the Nintendo Switch is a delight to see and with DotEmu (who handled Streets of Rage 4 and is also working on a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game) lending a hand to Disney Interactive for the package, quality feels pretty well assured.
We're still waiting on official announcements and listing of the games, so stay tuned as we await further details. Until then, it looks like we can expect the Lucasfilm Classic Games: Zombies Ate My Neighbors and Ghoul Patrol bundle this coming late June.

IDFG offering deer tags to collect samples to monitor for Chronic Wasting Disease

This undated photo provided by the Nevada Department of Wildlife shows a mule deer buck on winter range near Genoa, Nev. In May, the new wildlife commission OK'd a 66 percent increase in the number of mule deer tags issued to Nevada and out-of-state hunters in 2012, from 14,919 to 24,795. Typically, nearly 40 percent of hunters succeed in bagging a deer, wildlife officials said. (AP Photo/Nevada Dept. of Wildlife via The Reno Gazette-Journal) NEVADA APPEAL OUT; NO SALES
By: Katie Kloppenburg
BOISE, Idaho — Idaho Fish and Game (IDFG) will offer over 1,500 deer tags, hoping to collect samples to monitor for chronic wasting disease (CWD).
CWD is a fatal disease caused by a prion that affects the nervous system of deer, elk, reindeer and moose. Animals may not appear sick or show any symptoms early in the infection.
Last month, IDFG announced two mule deer in central Idaho tested positive for CWD. It's the first time the disease has been confirmed in Idaho. CWD is found in 27 states, including Wyoming and Montana.
The department is offering the tags first come, first served starting December 7 at 10 am at Fish and Game regional offices only. All hunts are scheduled to end on December 19 but could close earlier or be extended.
Related: IDFG Commission designates CWD Management Zones in Unit 14 and 15
If the targeted number of samples is reached before the end of the hunt, hunters will receive a notification that the hunt will close within 48 hours.
These hunts are intended to gather 775 CWD samples with strict requirements for those hunters who participate. The hunts are limited to Idaho residents and the tags will cost $10 each.
Tags will be divided between public and private lands and are exclusive to either of those. A large portion of the deer herds in the area are likely to be on private lands during the hunts.
All harvested deer taken must be tested for CWD with no exceptions. IDFG will take samples from deer heads at Lewiston and McCall regional offices and at designated check stations near the hunt locations.
Hunters are allowed to keep the meat and antlers of the deer they harvest. You can click here to read more details about each hunt available.
Hunters participating in CWD surveillance hunts are required to:
Only harvest the deer that you have a valid tag for; i.e. mule deer or white-tailed deer, antlerless-only or antlered only, and only in the hunt area in which your tag is valid.
Harvest only an adult deer; no fawns may be harvested.
Hunters are required to quarter or debone a harvested animal at the kill site.
Present the head of any harvested deer to a check station or regional office within 24 hours. Fish and Game will contact any hunter whose animal tests positive for CWD.
Hunt only on public land and not hunt on private property if you have a tag for public land, and vice versa for private property hunts.
Understand that the hunt may close before the closing date listed on the tag, and no rain checks or refunds will be given for tags that are not filled.
Record the GPS location where you harvest a deer. (A smartphone will work for this.)
Properly handle the carcass of harvested animals in accordance with Fish and Game directions, which will be provided when a tag is issued.
