Show off your first app!
I recently remembered the first web app that I built. It was part of my senior thesis in college -- I thought that adding a way to visualize the data I was working with would make the project more interactive and it would be able to reach more people.
It's far from perfect, and the version online is the second design and I also went through a big code refactor at some point.
I had also been writing code professionally as a software engineer for around a year when I wrote this (and was a computer science teaching assistant for a year before that), but it was just data science/analysis code instead of code for the web.
I learned a lot with the project, and a lot of that knowledge has carried over to work even recently!
The app is here: http://politicaldiscussion.herokuapp.com/! You can see the about page for more about it, and the source code is also linked in the footer!
What was your first app? Is it still online? Show it off below in the comments!
This is the beauty of the Web that I came here to see.
I remember using yahoo geo cities to build a site many years ago. I would have been very happy at the time if it looked that good as that.
This makes me feel so many nostalgic emotions. Boss.
Behold! A client for Blogger. It allowed you to post to your blogs from the comfort of your desktop. I built this for MacOS Classic back in the day.
I miss doing desktop apps a lot.
To be honest, I don't like Electron. You end up with multiple chrome engines running on the same machine wasting resources. I love web technologies but I'd rather use something less wasteful on the desktop. Thanks a lot for the reply though. I wish all those electron apps were sharing a runtime.
I've been getting into React-Native recently myself. What was your biggest road-block to getting started?
My biggest road block was probably wasting time with video tutorials. I knew what I wanted to build before I started react native. The tutorials weren't helpful so as soon as I decided to just learn as I was building it, things went smoothly.
That's funny, because I struggle with a lot of that too. Often I'll watch video tutorials thinking they will help me as long as I follow along, but what I've been quickly realizing is that: 1. They often give me a false sense of security in thinking that I know more than I do since I'm familiar with how code should look like, and 2. that I enjoy watching those more as entertainment than as a learning tool.
I do find a lot of value in written material though.
Tests und Code-Analyse laufen automatisch. Pull-Request kann nur bei erfolgreichen Tests und nach Approval gemergt werden. Möglichst auch alle Code-Climate Issues beheben.
I developed a Stopwatch for Sony Small Apps API for Android in 2013. It is still live on Google Play with over 85K downloads.
Later, I made most of the code open source in the form of a library which is available on GitHub.
Was this for the freecodecamp.org curriculum?
I went through a lot of their course in my early days! It was such a good experience, and so empowering! It felt really nostalgic to see the tribute page again!
The first actual web app I built solo was also my first solo professional web app. It was called Pagepooch and it was a price and page tracker - you'd submit a web page using a bookmarklet and it would either track the price of a product as it changed, or track changes to the page content. It was built with CodeIgniter 2 and had a companion Phonegap app.
My first TSR (that I let other people get their hands on) decremented the clock counter twice per tick. That meant that the Windows 3 screensaver clock appeared to run backwards. This was very clever, to my juvenile brain.
But it was just a simple one pager to display the youtube videos.
My first published app... Something like 20 years ago..?
I wrote an application to allow an infrared remote to control playback of music on Winamp. Today, we can just talk to computers... But imagine two decades ago being able to control a computer from across the room. This was still the age of dialup computers. Almost nobody had a home network at all, wifi wasn't really a thing yet... But despite this, I gave people a tool to wirelessly control their media experiences!
Ironically enough, none of my early "apps" still work - if you take "app" in the modern sense to mean a web or mobile application. They all rely on combinations of Perl and C and CGIs and stuff. One I found mentions that it "should" work with the new Debian 3 and Internet Explorer 6. Too much hassle to try to sort that lot out.
My first web app would have been a university assignment from a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. As for my first Android app: Apocalypse Cow. Made primarily to learn some Java and OO programming, and to have a go at making a game.
I was a total noob at the time, both at SSBM and writing code, so the code is abysmal, but the tool was actually really useful. It's basically a metronome that plays a sound on when you should input a particular button to practice an advanced move or technique in the game, and it helps to develop the muscle memory for it. The coolest thing was that I could plugin my USB gamecube controller and practice.
I recently took it offline, but it got quite a lot of users in the first couple of years I put it online which was really cool to see and a massive confidence boost; it's really nice to make something that helps people and that people like to use to get better.
Starcraft 'clan' site using the game elements for the UI.
3 panel iframe (no borders! \o/) from HTML 3 I think it was. JS image mouse-over effect applied to the menu items.
Died sometime in 1997 / 1998.
The first thing I'd consider an "app", I built to make my job easier previous to being employed as a software developer.
It was a hideous mess of "clever" php spaghetti code, although as ugly as it was, it turned 30 minutes of manual effort to build a report into a single HTML form with less than 5 minutes of runtime.
Before long my various bosses had me building functionality for them and other departments.
About 2 years later I landed my first Software Engineer job at 29 years old. Better late than never!
I believe it was a 3D wireframe X-Wing viewer I wrote on my Atari ST using GFA Basic circa 1990. I first designed the X-Wing on paper before writing all the coordinates in arrays. I then did some research and calculations on 3D coordinate systems, perspectives, etc. at my college library, and wrote conversion routines to display the X-Wing in wireframe. Lastly I added keybindings to change the perspective mode, move and rotate the model, and toggle anaglyph stereo mode.
This is such a cool topic. Thanks for posting it, Ali!
A faster, snappier way to snag the right emoji!
Mobile app for tracking calorie & cost per meal.
The idea when it started was simple - instead of same old making a line for Tic Tac Toe, make a square on 4x4 board. Am from ECE background, knew only programming basics and had Java as a subject in school days. Still, I had quit my job and had plenty of time on hand. The result was multiple 1000+ lines of spaghetti monster created over a year of coding, static and global variables all over the place, cannot create two objects of a class without crashing, etc. The game suffered from poor UI/UX and feature creep. Yet, I am proud that I was able to release a working game.
For years, I've been wanting to take a shot at it again using Python (as a reason to learn Python GUI modules), who knows I might even take the first step this year.
This was my first app a little silly, but it helped me learn a lot.
In 2001 I released run-free (later updated in 2004). It was the first popular command line execution platform via GTK gui at the time. By 2005 having a command line execution 'thing' from X11 based systems was all the rage. But I did gain some popularity on freshmeat.net (defunct) back in the day.
The old c (original) and c++ (2004) code is hosted on sourceforge and mirrored on github.
Wish I could but yahoo pages are long gone.
In a nutshell it was a web app for AIM/AOL "hackers" - build a small app that would change colors on AOL Chat. Shared vast html pages as "blog posts" on how to do stuff.
Yup I feel "old" now, just writing this ^ .
a tic-tac-toe game than never lost (it always starts first) it was a horrible code.
At the moment is all saved locally but I plan to include some online sync functionality in the future.
I also put together this text-editor textty.netlify.com/ because I didn't like the one I was currently using.
It allows users to search for recipes based on ingredients. The goal? Repurpose unused ingredients to minimize kitchen wastes.
I've always been a dabbler in coding, for 35+ years! Most of the things that I've written were small tools for work purposes, including log searching in C-Shell and AWK and form work in Microsoft Word using VBA.
My first app was an Android app called listy. I think it's still on the play store. I just wanted an app to make todo lists that had states like pending, completed or encountered problems and I couldn't find one I liked so I made my own.
I guess my first 'app' would be my Gulp workflow. I don't really feel like that's an app, it was more the outline of making a future app. You'd have to fork it and run it. You can't get to it from a page.
My first app, I feel is, React HIIT Timer. That one is more accessible to people and I feel encompasses the beginning of an actual app.
My very first WebApp was a weather finder, it was very basic and build with react.js but serves the purpose what it is made for.
My first project is a simple clock application which will show the time in words for every five minutes.
My first ever live website (it's not really an 'app') was an events website I did at work in 2002 (I worked as a web editor then): HTML and CSS only, tables for layout, scrolling marquee (eek...), no JS or back-end. I had only started learning HTML and CSS about a year before, using 'View source' and Notepad.
Summer of 1997? I was working for IT support for the engineering schools while majoring in CS, and a responsibility was maintaining the paper checkout system for the documentation library, which included several bookshelves of O'Reillys.
It was all flat-file DBs because I didn't yet understand Berkeley DB, much less SQL, but it contained author and links to Amazon based on ISBN for more information.
My first was Garfield of the day about 18 years ago. It was never online, only ran it on a local server at work.
I had no idea what I was doing, used it to learn php. Each day a new Garfield comic was published on garfield.com. Filename was YYYY-MM-DD so I used date functions to construct the filename and display the comic in an image tag. Then I added prev and next buttons and date input so I could navigate between different comics.
This is my first and first program that can be online.
Before I entered the programmer community, I was very proud to be able to make a small program that could be online. But now I'm embarrassed myself, because it turns out my program is just a dust among the programs that I know.
But I'm proud too, because I am among great people. Let's see who are the contributors at github.com and I am among them.
A few years ago I wanted to learn more about angular so I built an app with ionic called Project Name Generator. Ironically, the idea came about as I couldn't think of a name for my project. I think it's still available on Google Play.
Wanted to complete something for once instead of my usual "start and forget" approach to project. Played with Vue and Machine Learning and it was fun!
Nite that it is not my first ever project, but the first still available today.
Being the huge fan of Frank Ocean that I am, I made a Frank Ocean twitter bot to tweet random Frank Ocean lyrics every 2-ish hours. I had just learned databases more in-depth, so I was looking to see how I could connect code to a database, and this is what spawned. The code is very bad, but I was very proud of it!
Aside from little things in school during CS, my first App, which was completly mine, was a small countdown timer, written in Delphi.
During my studies, I just met my future wife. But soon after we met, she left for home over the semester break.
I was (and still am 15 years later) fully in love and couldn't wait for us to see each other again. So I sat down and wrote that little countdown timer, to show me, how much waiting was still ahead.
The hardest part was, to make the title in the task bar change, even when it was minimized. I had no idea of events and background threads at the time and learned quite a bit, since it was also my first app in Delphi.
I don't have it anymore. And I guess I would do the same thing now in about an hour or two. But I still think fondly of it.

BRIT AWARDS 1989
Artist Various artists (featuring Mark Knopfler)
Venue Royal Albert Hall, London, UK
Date 13th February 1989
Mark Knopfler and Alan Price announce School for Performing Arts
The Princess Bride soundtrack nomination
Cliff Richard's lifetime achievement award
Randy Newman with all stars band (featuring Mark Knopfler) - Falling in love (live)
Additional comments DVD-Video containing the Brit Music Awards 1989. Picture and sound quality is not the best, but good enough to enjoy the show. This was the last live broadcast of the Brit Music Awards. Mark Knopfler appears twice during the broadcast. The first time is when Alan Price and he announce the opening of Europe's first School for Performing Arts in London. When Alan Price tells about the project and mentions that part of the money was given by the government, representing that night by Kenneth Baker, the British Secretary of State for Education, the audience erupts into boos and catcalls. Quite embarrassing... Mark Knopfler was clearly non-plussed at the audience. What could he do? It was probably that incident that changed the policy from live to taped. Mark Knopfler appears again during the finale when the entire cast is on stage, singing with Randy Newman who performs his song Falling in love. The soundtrack for The Princess Bride was nominated, and part of the video is shown. Unfortunately it did not win. Total playing time is about 90 minutes.

Conference to discuss Greece, Balkan Wars, liberation of Macedonia
Distinguished historians from the U.S., Canada and Greece will present the lecture "Greece and the Balkan Wars: 100 Years from the Liberation of Macedonia"
in Macedonian Culture, Macedonian news / by D-Mak / on October 23, 2012 at 12:56 pm /
Distinguished historians from the U.S., Canada and Greece will present the lecture "Greece and the Balkan Wars: 100 Years from the Liberation of Macedonia" from 1 to 5 p.m. Oct. 27 in Century Room A at the Millennium Student Center at UMSL.
On Oct. 26, 1912, the Greek Army entered Salonica, sealing the liberation of a large part of Macedonia from the Ottoman Empire. That was a catalytic event for the Balkan Wars and changed the course of European history.
The significance of that historic event will be discussed at a conference from 1 to 5 p.m. Oct. 27 at the University of Missouri–St. Louis.
Distinguished historians from the U.S., Canada and Greece will come together for the conference "Greece and the Balkan Wars: 100 Years from the Liberation of Macedonia," which will be held in Century Room A at the Millennium Student Center at UMSL.
Immediately following the conference there will be an hors d' oeuvres reception, from 5 to 6 p.m. Both the conference and the reception are free and open to the public.
The speakers will discuss important issues of the Balkan Wars, such as the role that the army and the navy played in the wars, violence and ethnic cleansing, war and propaganda, as well as the Greeks from the diaspora who returned to fight in the wars.
The conference is organized by UMSL professor Michael Cosmopoulos, the Hellenic Government-Karakas Family Foundation Professorship in Greek Studies at UMSL and International Studies and Programs at UMSL.
For a complete schedule, full list of featured speakers and more information, visit greekstudies.org.

Globalization and Global Justice
Shrinking Distance, Expanding Obligations
Author: Nicole Hassoun, State University of New York, Binghamton
The face of the world is changing. The past century has seen the incredible growth of international institutions. How does the fact that the world is becoming more interconnected change institutions' duties to people beyond borders? Does globalization alone engender any ethical obligations? In Globalization and Global Justice, Nicole Hassoun addresses these questions and advances a new argument for the conclusion that there are significant obligations to the global poor. First, she argues that there are many coercive international institutions and that these institutions must provide the means for their subjects to avoid severe poverty. Hassoun then considers the case for aid and trade, and concludes with a new proposal for fair trade in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. Globalization and Global Justice will appeal to readers in philosophy, politics, economics and public policy.
Advances a new proposal for fair trade in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology
For readers interested in how empirical evidence should inform political philosophy and theory
Provides a middle ground between cosmopolitan and statist views in the philosophical literature
'Globalization and Global Justice provides concrete policy advice based on rigorous philosophical argument, relevantly blending empirical evidence with rich philosophical analysis. It explores theoretically informed, but practically focused proposals for how we can implement more justice in our actual, imperfect world. An excellent example of the contributions philosophers can make to important debates on matters of global justice.' Gillian Brock, University of Auckland
'Hassoun's analysis of international poverty is original, striking, and powerful; if she is right, then we have strong reasons to think that the world we have helped build is a very unjust place indeed. Her work should be read by anyone interested in how we ought to think about human rights in a globalizing world.' Michael Blake, University of Washington
contains: 6 tables
Part I: Introduction: globalization and global justice

Anne Hidalgová (roz. Ana Hidalgo, nar. 16. června 1958, San Fernando v Andalusii) je francouzská regionální politička španělského původu, členka Socialistické strany. V letech 2001–2014 byla místostarostkou města Paříže a v roce 2014 ve funkci pařížského starosty vystřídala Bertranda Delanoëho ze stejné politické strany.

Soukromý život
Anne Hidalgová se narodila v roce 1958 v andaluském městě San Fernando u Cádizu, odkud se rodina přestěhovala v roce 1961 do Francie. Její děd bojoval na straně Lidové fronty proti Francovu režimu, její otec proto musel uprchnout do Francie, kam ho následoval i zbytek rodiny.

Od svých dvou let vyrůstala v dělnické čtvrti v Lyonu. Ve svých 12 letech získala francouzské státní občanství. Po gymnáziu vystudovala obor sociální práce na Lyonské III. univerzitě Jeana Moulina a přestěhovala se do Paříže. Zde dovršila studia na Univerzitě Paříž-Nanterre. Pracovala jako inspektorka dohledu pracovního práva a seznámila se s myšlenkami feminismu.

V červnu 2004 se jejím manželem stal Jean-Marc Germain, bývalý ředitel kabinetu ministryně Martine Aubry a od roku 2012 poslanec francouzského parlamentu za Hauts-de-Seine.

Politická kariéra
Anna Hidalgová se stala členkou francouzských socialistů. Když socialisté v letech 1997-2002 tvořili francouzskou vládu, byla poradkyní na různých ministerstvech. Po 13 letech v politických funkcích byla zvolena 18. března 2001 za Socialistickou stranu do Pařížské rady a v dalších komunálních volbách dne 16. března 2008 byla opět zvolena za 15. obvod. Pařížský starosta Bertrand Delanoë si ji po volbách 2001 vybral jako blízkou spolupracovnici. Stala se místostarostkou a v Pařížské radě byla zodpovědná za oblast politiky zrovnoprávnění. Ve funkci místostarostky zůstala i po volbách roku 2008 a převzala oblast městského rozvoje a architektury.

Od 2. dubna 2004 byla radní regionu Île-de-France. V dalších regionálních volbách roku 2010 vedla kandidátku socialistů za departement Paříž. V těchto volbách socialisté předstihli v prvním kole i Zelené (26,26 % : 20,57 %), zatímco ještě v evropských volbách 2009 měli navrch Zelení. Ve druhém kole jí vedená spojená levicová koalice zřetelně porazila UMP.

Starostka Paříže
Do komunálních voleb v březnu 2014 vstupovala jako jednoznačná nástupkyně dosavadního starosty. Svou kandidaturu zveřejnila v srpnu 2012 poté, co Bertrand Delanoë oznámil, že se již v dalším volebním období nebude o post starosty ucházet. Jako jediná kandidátka získala ve své straně 98,3% podporu.

Její kampaň proběhla bez komplikací. Stejně jako její předchůdce se věnovala především oblasti kultury, ekologie a sociálního bydlení. K jejím plánům patří rozšíření tramvajové sítě, rozvoj populární půjčovny kol Vélib' a systému Autolib', nová turistická nabídka Paris by Scooter, rozšíření pěších zón a míst v jeslích a školkách. Hidalgová také prohlásila, že v případě zvolení má v úmyslu přebudovat část Avenue Foch na park.

I přes celkově špatný výkon Socialistické strany ve francouzských komunálních volbách roku 2014 zvítězila ve druhém kole 30. března 2014 s 54,5 % hlasů a zvítězila v 11 z 20 pařížských obvodů. Socialisté získali v Pařížské radě 92 křesel ze 163. Jako nástupkyně Bertranda Delanoë, který v roce 2001 poprvé získal funkci starosty Paříže pro Socialistickou stranu, se Anne Hidalgová stala historicky první ženou v čele pařížské radnice.

Kandidátka na prezidentský úřad
Na podzim roku 2021 oznámila svou kandidaturu na prezidentský úřad, pokud by volby vyhrála, stala by se na tomto postu první ženou v dějinách Francouzské republiky. Dne 3. března 2022 přijala ukrajinský soubor Kyjevského baletu po jeho francouzském turné a poskytla mu na libovolnou dobu azyl v pařížském divadle Théâtre du Châtelet. Většina členů souboru se po dvou týdnech rozhodla přijmout pozvání Moravského divadla v Olomouci a přesídlit tam.

If you are producing Future Bass music in Ableton Live, this very professional future bass template produced by Bonnie & Clyde is for you. The Ableton Live Template comes loaded up with the arrangement (as heard in the audio demo), mixing, FX chains, MIDI data and automation. It all comes loaded with all the samples and synth presets so you will get what you hear in the demo if you have these synths. It is 100% royalty free and can be used as a base for your upcoming tracks or as an educational and inspirational tool.
To take full advantages of the project, only Ableton Live 9.6 or higher, Reveal-Sound Spire v1.0.16 or higher and Sausage Fattener are needed !

Sunday Link-Off: Have You Felt It
I know Jackie gave his quick thoughts on Star Wars: The Force Awakens yesterday but I don't think I'm capable of doing it quickly. Our review podcast could either be 30 minutes or 3 hours depending on how much we argue about. I think we'll both agree that we loved it and will be going multiple times. We'll let you know when to expect the review.
Anyway, that's a problem for a future date. For now, we've got to focus on some links. Let's kick things off with Erin Heatherton.
America's Omnibus budget bill also included the dreaded CISA, Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act. I hope you don't value your privacy. (Engadget)
Fox News' "fair and balanced" slogan might get mocked but it's not off the mark when it comes to the Republican primary. They're giving a good grilling to the frontrunners. (The Fix)
Carly Fiorina was near the head of the GOP polls for a little bit. Now, she might be talking her way out of any chance. She has a pretty poor relationship with the facts. (Salon)
Speaking of lying Republicans, Ted Cruz is claiming the Obama administration has banned anti-Muslim speech. That's obviously not true or all of the Republican Presidential hopefuls would be in jail. (Patheos)
The Bernie Sanders campaign and the Democratic party are in a fight over a software glitch that let all primary campaigns see everyone else's voter data. The DNC punished Sanders and his team claims that the fix is in. (New York Times)
Can the GOP use their massive war chest to win this election? (Daily Intelligencer)
Howard Stern just signed a new deal to stay with Sirius for another five years. However, Howard's changed since he started but is still the best interviewer in America. (Washington Post)
Remember when we thought Pope Francis was going to be a progressive Pope? Well, we can shelve that idea. He's telling Slovenians to vote against gay marriage. (The New Civil Rights Movement)
Conor McGregor's 13-second win last weekend capped off one of the craziest years in UFC history. It might just be one of the biggest too. (Yahoo Sports)
The advantage of doing the links after Jackie is that I can run the Friday box office numbers. The Force Awakens set domestic and worldwide Friday records. It's likely to set the domestic opening weekend record and could even score the global record without debuting in China this weekend. (Hollywood Reporter)
Netflix is changing its encoding algorithm to save you bandwidth. (Consumerist)
It's a good thing that George isn't allowed near Star Wars anymore because this change could happen to Episode IV.
If you're a fan of the UFC, please don't steal hats. Or at least be successful at it.

Murphy Papers, Ballymore, Co Tipperary
Title Murphy Papers, Ballymore, Co Tipperary
Archive Reference IE CCCA/U76
Web Link to this Entry https://iar.ie/archive/murphy-papers-ballymore-co-tipperary
Creation Dates 1807-1849 [1689, 1970s]
Level of Description File
Extent Medium 13 items (xerox copies)
Creator(s): Murphy Family, Ballymore, Co Tipperary (1689-1903)
The Baldwin family of Cahir and the Murphys of Ballymore, near Carrick-on-Suir, were prominent members of the Catholic middle class of south Tipperary in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, and were part of the social circle of Charles Bianconi (1786-1875), the transport pioneer. The Baldwins owned a tannery in Cahir, while the Murphys moved to South Tipperary from Co Kilkenny in 1689 and came to farm lands at Ballymore . The families were united when Mick Murphy of Ballymore married Biddy, daughter of John Baldwin [died c.1819]. This John Baldwin had a brother James, who served for a time as private secretary to the Duke of Bedfordshire, a son John Junior who served in Wellington's army in Spain and Portugal, and later served in Columbia, and a daughter Mary Anne. Mary Anne lived with her sister Biddy Murphy and her husband Mick at Ballymore after her father's death, and was apparently provided for by Bianconi while attending the Ursuline School in Waterford. Thomas Baldwin would appear to have been a brother of the elder John, while Edmund was a younger son, brother to John Junior and Mary Anne, as well as to Eliza, another sister. John Baldwin Murphy, a Dublin based lawyer, was evidently the son of Biddy and Mick Murphy. His brothers Daniel and Michael emigrated to the United States in 1849. The Murphy and Baldwin families were connected by marriage and friendship to many other prominent Tipperary and Suir Valley families, including the Burkes of Braenor, and the Ryans, Everards, and Minikins of Cashel. A Dr Edmond Murphy, evidently descended from the Ballymore family, married Elizabeth Clanchy, the daughter to TJ Clanchy, the prominent Cork butter merchant and nationalist figure, in 1899. Their daughter Sheila gathered together the documents which make up the related collections IE CCCA/U6 (Murphy-Baldwin Correspondence), IE CCCA/U76 (Murphy Papers, Ballymore, Co Tipperary), and IE CCCA/PR11 (Papers of TJ Clanchy (d1897) & Family).
Xerox copies of family documents presented by Miss Sheila Murphy to Cork County Library, from where they were later transferred to Cork Archives Council in 1972.
Scope & Content: Murphy Family, Ballymore, Co Tipperary (1689-1903) ↴
The collection consists of photocopies of a small number legal documents, letters and notes relating to the Murphy family of Ballymore, Co Tipperary. An unsigned note (U76/5) provides an account of Patrick Murphy's arrival in Tipperary from Co Kilkenny in 1689, and of the first few generations of Murphys at Ballymore and elsewhere in South Tipperary. Family history notes and draft family trees present attempt to document the family's descent more fully (U76/6-7).
The legal documents relate mainly to Mick Murphy, and include an 1807 lease by him of lands at Ballymore from a Daniel Murphy (possibly his father), the lands being owned by Sir Thomas Judkin Fitzgerald (U76/2). Murphy leased further land from the Fitzgeralds in nearby Lislowryn in 1818, this land coming into the possession of his son Michael in 1849 (U76/3-4). A residuary account of the elder Mick Murphy's will gives an overview of his estate and goods on his death in 1834, and his arrangements for his family.
His sons Daniel and Michael, both parties to the 1849 deed, emigrated to the USA that same year, and sent letters from New York and Illinois to their mother and their brother John Baldwin Murphy (U76/10-12; copies of these letters also occur in U6 Murphy-Baldwin Correspondence). Also present are two earlier letters received by Mick Murphy from his brother-in-law John Baldwin Junior, then on military service under Wellington in Spain and Portugal (U76/8-9; also in U6). The latest item, a 1903 business letter with the letterhead of TJ Clanchy's Great Munster Dairies, is evidence of the link between the Murphys and Clanchys, Dr Edmond Murphy marrying Elizabeth Clanchy, daughter of TJ, in 1899 (U76/13; a copy of this item is in PR11 Papers of TJ Clanchy (d1897) & Family).
The collection is useful for those studying the genealogy of Murphy families of South Tipperary, and provides evidence of connections with the Baldwins of Cahir and the Clanchys of Cork. It is significant that Daniel and Michael Murphy, sons of Mick, emigrated to the USA in 1849, despite Daniel's interest in lands at Lislowryn being assigned to Michael that same year. This suggests they were struggling financially as farmers, and were endeavouring to reestablish themselves in America, their brother John having become a lawyer in Dublin. The family's land interests in south Tipperary seem to have ended at this time, as documented in some of the items present. The Napoleonic war adventures of their uncle John Baldwin and the families' later Clanchy connections provide colour and context to the collection, and link it with the related collections U6 and PR11.
The collection originally consisted of two parts, U76 and U76a, the former containing items U76/1-6, items 7-13 making up U76a. On review in 2012, it was found that the items in U76a were copies of items described in other collections. It was decided to form a single U76 collection, numbered from 1-13, with indication given where items were copies of documents described in other collections. The revised numbering supersedes all earlier numbering.
The first part of the revised collection consists of documents relating to Mick Murphy and lands in South Tipperary. The second part is made up of documents relating to the family history of the Murphys. The third part is made up of copy items relating to other family members.

Yes, that title is a Dark Souls reference, and it's a title I would like to have some day.
Anyway, it's that time of year where we all just want to enjoy the last vestiges of holidays before the new year begins and we all decide to make lists. Whether it is for presents, things to throw out, or just a general shopping list for Christmas, we are bound to make one.
However, here in the hallowed halls of 9C, we are making one better: It's time for EOY list season!


Although each Web site we develop is unique and carries its own individual detailed proposal and quote, the table below will provide you with a guide as to the standard fees we charge for various design projects and elements. Some of our larger projects have been upwards of $20,000. The amounts shown below are estimates for static, non-database and non-ecommerce enhanced sites.


Harvard Hillel activists take food workers' strike to heart.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (JTA) – When Harvard University students Gabe Hodgkin and Grace Evans started the new school year, they had no way of knowing they'd be spending a good deal of their time on picket lines and at union rallies.
But a strike by the university's 750 dining hall workers struck a deep chord with the two sophomores, who are active in the Harvard Hillel.
Before the university and the union reached a tentative five-year deal early Tuesday ending the three-week strike, Hodgkin and Evans, as well as rabbis from the Harvard Hillel, said that Jewish values are at the core of their sympathy for the workers, including those at the Jewish student organization's Rabbi Ben-Zion Gold Kosher Dining Hall.
Passow wrote in an email on Tuesday evening, at the end of Simchat Torah: "I'm happy for all parties that this dispute has been resolved, but I'm sure being on strike for three weeks has been especially anxiety provoking" for the dining hall workers.
Harvard Hillel is the oldest kosher food service in the Boston area, going back to the 1960s, according to Rabbi Zalman Krems, director of KVH Kosher, which oversees Harvard's kosher certification.
"Jewish law has a lot to say about labor disputes," Krebs said. "Both sides are probably right. We just hope it ends soon. Kosher students don't have options to go somewhere else. It's hard for them to get their day-to-day needs met."
Last Friday afternoon, shortly before a long weekend that would include the holidays of Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah, Hodgkin, who grew up across the Charles River in Brookline, was among about a dozen students eating lunch in the kosher dining hall and in the large sukkah set up in the courtyard designed by the building's architect, Moshe Safdie.
Hodgkin delivered a Yom Kippur d'var torah, a talk that related the holiday's haftarah reading of Isaiah 57:14-58:14 to the strike.
"It's part of why I'm involved, to make sure that we do live up to those ideals," he said.
"These are some of the first people on campus to know our names," he said. "They show up for us every day and they check in with us to make sure we are doing OK."
Hodgkin and Evans, one of the New England Jewish Labor Committee's campus initiative fellows, joined a contingent from the group at a rally and march on Saturday to support the strikers.
In a phone conversation, Pappas told JTA that she was moved by the welcome she and other strikers received -- from people of all faiths, she noted.
"In America, you have the right to fight for what you believe in," she said.

Those rocks are smaller than you think
Stephen Drain in COVID-19 The Lockdown, Integrity, Mental Toughness, Personal Insights, Resilience, Wise Leadership April 18, 2022 July 5, 2022 595 Words
Coming to the end of The Obstacle is the Way I was surprised when the author announced that I was now a philosopher in Stoicism. Although the title of the book is perhaps an obvious clue as to what follows, I hadn't framed my approach this way. But I found much of the book confirmatory of the usefulness of the concepts of stoicism – especially in a world of disruption (i.e. always!).
The challenging client? Covid anxiety? A war? The intractable work issue? Passive behaviour that feels aggressive? Too many life admins outstanding? All of the above all at once? I try to monitor and notice my own reactions to life's obstacles – does my heart rate increase, am I irritable, do I start doing detailed work and planning? To notice is to be present in the here and now.
I remember many moons ago working in the Auckland Central police watchhouse – where people who had been arrested were "processed" – until they were bailed or taken to court. As you might imagine, not all customers were particularly happy – many drunk, aggressive and abusive. But you had to search, photograph and fingerprint them, whether they liked it or not. In some respects, achieving the outcomes required behaviour that was the antithesis of the macho, forceful imagine of a uniform cop tackling an alcohol-infused melee. It required the ability to depersonalise the anger directed at you. It's surprisingly difficult to fingerprint someone – hold their fingers over an inkpad, and roll each finger on the paper – all ten of them – if they don't want it! I must have achieved a modicum of success as the senior sergeant asked me to stay on for a second six month tour because he said, I had the temperament. I declined, patrols were far more exciting.
But it must have been part of my journey of stoicism, which has really come to the fore these last couple of years, although I've never really framed it for myself that way. Perception, Action and Will make up the three disciplines of this book and underpinning it is turning every obstacle into an advantage. In business we might say "turning lemon into lemonade", or "pivoting now", but what we're doing is turning the challenge, the obstacle or disadvantage into an opportunity.
Put another way, declining to be a victim despite the circumstances of apparent unfairness, avoiding catastrophising a situation – living in the present – the book says that unfortunately "We have to dive endlessly into what everything "means", whether something is "fair" or not, whats "behind" this or that..". Actually most of the time when something isn't going our way, the person, or people that might be the perceived cause, are more than likely not particularly interested in us. Sad, but good too! It can put perspective into our lives.
Been "disrespected" at work? Who hasn't been? (who hasn't done it too?). Was the other person acting with intention? Possibly, but more than likely it was just a moment. So don't worry. Feed off what they said and come back more powerful appearing more considered and patient as a result.
It's a perfect day for stoicism. Rain is here after what feels like months of fine weather (unconscious bias of course – there's been some!), and it's got that cosy, rain on the roof feeling.
An opportunity to catch up on life admin, and even restart a blog!

Crown of Liberty | Limited Edition
Lesego Seoketsa, South Africa
Unframed, hand signed and numbered by the artist.
Fine Art Textured Silk Paper 270gsm | 25% Cotton/75% Cellulose | Natural Tone
44,1 x 58,4 cm image and 45,1 x 59,4 cm print
NUMBER OF EDITION
Crown of Liberty is inspired by The Statue of Liberty's 7 pointed crown, however the painting depicts only 6 points. The 7 pointed crown is known to symbolise the 7 seas and continents of the world, which strengthens the universal understanding of liberty. I left one point out because it would be false to include Africa as a perceived equal continent as the other 6.
The USA built its foundation through the enslavement of Africans, yet it preaches freedom and equality as if there are no present day consequences. Although The Statue of Liberty is a symbol of freedom, the USA has gone through great lengths to disempower and take away the freedom of others. There is great cognitive dissonance and confusion in the way this country presents itself to the rest of the world.
I have removed the face of the Lady Liberty and painted it black. Black identity has become nuanced and complex because of the limitations brought about by racism in its various manifestations. Black people are in the position to construct identities that have transcended generational trauma, and to accept themselves as liberated people. It takes awareness and discipline to re-learn who you are, and this is the realisation I have come to in the making of this work. The missing point in the crown, which represents Africa, is obscure. My belief is that there is immense potential and power in obscurity. We have the opportunity to re-define what it means to be black and free, we also have the capability to see ourselves beyond the systems that attempt to victimise us.
Liberty belongs to everyone. Everyone deserves the right to exist without the threat of victimisation. Identity has played a big role in the decisions made to exclude people, and this is by far the most ineffective and illogical attempt to disempower people. Having pride in who you are does not make another person inferior, we can all be free and treat each other with compassion even though we are different.
EXCLUSIVE TO UNDISCOVERED CANVAS
Artworks in a limited edition have a set number of prints available for each size offered. For the 45,1 x 59,4 cm size edition, "Crown of Liberty" comes in a limited edition of only 75 prints.

A new center for the LGBT community opened in Dallas Saturday, amid continuing political debate over gay, lesbian and transgender issues.
Cox says the center will offer youth and senior programming, along with mental health and HIV services. Cox also hopes it will serve as a safe haven after a string of attacks in the Oak Lawn neighborhood.
The new center is funded through donations, part of an $8.7 million dollar capital campaign that was eight years in the making. Resource Center is using some of the money to remodel the current facility to be used as a new health campus. That is set to open in the fall.

Q: Picking a random name from DB without repeat until all names are used Hey there StackOverflow community
as the title says , I have a table in my DB with 2 columns ID and Name.
there is a html form with a button, by clicking the button I want it to pick a name.
by clicking again , it picks a name without repeat until all names are used.
Here's what I've done so far:
<?php
include ("config.php");
$result = '';

if (isset($_POST['rand'])) {
    $name_query = mysqli_query($conn,"SELECT * FROM names ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1");
    $name_f = mysqli_fetch_assoc($name_query);
    $result = $name_f['name'];
}
 ?>

 <form action="" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8">
    <input type="submit" name="rand">
 </form>

<?php echo $result;?>

thanks in advance.

A: I think the right way to do that is creating a text file and save names in it whenever you fetch for the latter in the database. Then for subsequent fetching, check whether the name exists in the file content or not.
$result = '';

function getName(){
   $file_path = "file.txt";
   $where = "";
   if(file_exists($file_path)){
       $lines = file($file_path);
       if(count($lines) > 0){
          $where = " WHERE `name` NOT IN(".implode(',', $lines).") ";
       }
   }
   $name_query = mysqli_query($conn,"SELECT * FROM `names` $where ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1");
   if(mysqli_num_rows($name_query) > 0){
       $name_f = mysqli_fetch_assoc($name_query);
       $result = $name_f['name'];
       file_put_contents($file_path, $result.PHP_EOL , FILE_APPEND | LOCK_EX);
       return $result;
   }else{
      file_put_contents($file_path, "");
      return getName();
   }
}

if(isset($_POST['rand'])) {
   $result = getName();
}

<form action="" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8">
    <input type="submit" name="rand">
 </form>

<?php echo $result;?>

ProSportsDaily.com > Basketball > NBA > Flip Saunders to Coach Timberwolves Again
View Full Version : Flip Saunders to Coach Timberwolves Again
Marc Stein
@ESPNSteinLine
Flip Saunders just confirmed to ESPN he is indeed the new coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves
I'm sure that will keep Love around.
lilchuckdoubles
Man this franchise is making it difficult to remain a fan:(
Get used to a steady diet of midrange jumpers and no ft attempts.
God I hate my team
lakerfan85
Why would they bring flip back??
Lol and I was thinking our FO was the worst...Unless we hire again Mike Brown.
Crackadalic
I literally shook my head when I saw the title. Feel bad for you guys
I think this is only going to be a one year thing. No other options I'd imagine so he wants to get through this year and take a crack at next years crop of potential coaches.
I don't think this will help keep Love though.
Minny must of got turned down by a lot of coaches for this to happen.
Flip used to be respected around the league. oh well, i don't think this will have much effect on the Wolves sucking. Its a shame, i thought this team could develop into something interesting. I also thought rubio was a worthy building block.
I actually don't mind this move as much as I did to begin the process. If no one you like and who wants to be here is out there then wait. Flip take over short term until the right guy is available or maybe they will like one of the assistants they hire. Don't just stick like a Sam Mitchell in for the next 3-4 years, find your guy and with Flip have flexibility to choose him at any time. It isn't the best situation to be in, but I don't mind this move for now.
Sweet, now all Minnesota has to do is trade Love to Brooklyn for KG and bring back Joe Smith out of retirement and we got the early 2000 Wolves back!
They must be gluttons for punishment hiring Flop again.
bye Kevin Love.
beasted86
So who are the Wolves going to draft with their 2015 lottery pick?
CityofTreez
While hiring Flop is bad, at least they have acquired a coach, unlike the Lakers!
Waiting this long to go forward with a new coach can have lasting impressions.
Being a Kings fan, it's such a painstaking period of waiting time.
THE MTL
I bet he gets fired at the end of the season lol
Flip isn't a bad coach. I have to say, his previous tenure was limited by the fact the front office sucked. I think those years of mediocrity had more to do with McHale than coaching.
Flip proved in Detroit he could win with a good team. He got the Pistons to the conference finals THREE straight years.... that is impressive, and two of those WITHOUT Ben Wallace. You fire a guy who gets our team to the conference finals three-straight seasons when you are letting talent walk away.... that's not cool.
I'm surprised Minny is letting him run the team, gave him ownership and let him coach again, I mean, not even Phil Jackson got that.... but he's not a bad coach.
That said, I don't think he's a great coach and I don't think this team will do better with him unless they add talent.
If he's just stepping up to take a losing season for the team while they move Love and get in position for the draft, then it makes sense as long as he hand the reigns over when they get a team good enough to draw in a quality coached, but if this is their long term plan.... I dunno....
http://www.nba.com/2014/news/06/06/saunders-named-wolves-coach/index.html
That's definitive so...
kobe4thewinbang
Did Saunders have any influence on how great KG was back in the day?
Maybe he'll get Love more involved?
:shrug:
I don't know,in those years KG could do his thing with any coach imo(unless the coach is D'Antoni). Sprewell vs Cassell was also a big factor,but he coached T-Wolves for 10 years without winning,so a new coach was the right decision imo. Having McHale in a GM role also didn't help them.
I guess we have to wait,maybe he'll be more successful this time.
anyone see Flips comments today?
they deserve to lose love. they're just like the cavs when it comes to front office stupidity.
Love = HE GONE
about Love being frustrated?
Yeah, that **** don't fly with the young people now. When KG was young, you could tell a kid to stfu and man up, you are making all the money. But now nowadays. Our spoiled youth needs to be catered to if they are talented.
I buy it in KG case because he was given the legitimate max contract that he wanted and deserved at the time (if i'm not mistaken).
Ive read a lot about the Wolves pretty much semi-snubbing Love last time he went to sign, right?
I agree with what you're saying here- but my point is that they didn't give Love the contract he wanted when they had the chance (they opted to give rubio a massive deal, right?). now they have to pay for their lack of foresight, and I think its kinda bs to play the card that flip just did in this moment. i think its the official white flag.
oh, Love has the right to be frustrated, Saunders is just telling him the truth. Kahn totally ****ed our chances at keeping Love by not maxing him out. He did indeed want to save it for his man crush, Rubio.
I simply mean, and you agree, that the young players today are much different than the young players 15-20 years ago. They were spoiled growing up, and never told no compared to the older generation. So you have to cater to these young players now. Sad, but true.
and yeah, I see this going 2 ways. They smartly get as many assets as they can before the draft (I ONLY say that because I truly believe Love will not resign under any circumstance at this point, my stance would change if I thought there was a chance), or they will stupidly keep him through next year trying to make the playoffs.
Knowing how stupid my teams front office is, I guess they go with the 2nd option.
hugepatsfan
"Catering" to Love is in the best interest of the franchise though. He's told them that he has no interest in re-signing with them after the season. That's his right as a player. He's not threatening to not show up and play out the last year of his deal. They've approached him about an extension and he's just letting them know that if they don't trade him he's just going to bolt after the season when he has the right/ability to do so. Obviously he wants to use his leverage to actually het traded so he can get where he wants to go a year earlier and get extra money playing there but again, he's not threatening to not honor his contract. That would be awful. And you can call him spoiled but if he took a diplomatic approach and refused to let them know his intentions then he'd actually be acting less in their best interests. He's doing the franchise a favor by being upfront with his intentions. He could keep it closer to the vest and force them to make short-sighted moves in an effort to compete and then just leave them even more ****ed when he walks.
I don't disagree with any of that. I am simply stating the difference between today's youth and the youth of yesterday. It's not just the NBA, it's the entire nation.
Yeah, the comment Flip made were silly. Love has a right to be frustrated.
He's been in the league SIX years. He came to a team with 24 wins still hasn't broken .500
They picked Rubio and Flynn over Curry.... I mean.. FAWK!!! Flynn isn't even in the LEAGUE now!
Then Wesley Johnson over DMC and Monroe? And Paul George?
Then they use a pick to draft Derrick Williams... who plays the same position as Love? WTF?!?!?
With the number of high picks the T-Wolves have had, and the capspace over the years, and the assets they had, they SHOULD be as good as OKC right now.
Six years and no playoffs? Love has a right to be frustrated. For Flip to say that is essentially telling Love to leave.
agreed and agreed. bunch of divas.
hope you guys get a decent package for Love.

History

1980–1988: Real Radio
ACWS-United Broadcasting Network established the station in 1972 as a simulcast of 940 kHz. On February 4, 1980, It became an originating station as RK96 Real Radio and changed its callsign to DWRK. Headed by Mike Pedero, it aired a Lite Rock format. Back then, its studios were located at the FEMS Tower 1 in San Andres, Manila.

In 1986, Mike Pedero left the station after six years and transferred to Citylite 88.3 (now Jam 88.3).

1988–2009: WRocK
On October 15, 1988, the station rebranded as 96.3 WRocK and switched to a Soft AC format, adding love songs to its lite rock playlist. During the 1990s, it had a copyright infringement with 103.5 K-Lite with its use of the stinger "it's the true light rock" and "light rock with a kick". During the 2000s, it began hosting events headlined by DJs Cherry Bayle (now with Radyo5) and Dylan Thomas.

On October 6, 2008, the Manila Broadcasting Company acquired the station from ACWS-UBN for . Except for the acquisition price, further terms were not disclosed.

2009–present: Easy Rock
On October 26, 2008, the original WRocK transferred its operations online. Despite the move, MBC opted to retain the branding for the meantime. This was MBC's first venture into class upscale market. In December 2008, after a few weeks of automation, the station introduced a new set of DJs.

On May 18, 2009, DWRK rebranded as Easy Rock, ending almost 21 years of broadcasting under the WRocK brand to reflect the change. Most of its programming was similar to the one of WRock.

On October 2, 2019, the main studios of 96.3 Easy Rock at the MBC Building, CCP Complex in Pasay, along with its sister MBC Manila radio stations, were affected by a major fire that originated in the nearby Star City theme park. In interim, Easy Rock broadcast from its backup studio in BSA Twin Towers in Mandaluyong, where its transmitter is located.

On November 15, 2021, after a two-year hiatus, the MBC stations returned to the newly renovated MBC Building inside the Star City complex, which was still under rehabilitation and reconstruction. At the same day, MBC relaunched its new corporate slogan, Sama-Sama Tayo, Pilipino! (lit. We are all Filipinos!) along with the new logos of all MBC radio stations.

Theme music
From 1988 until May 17, 2009, the jingles were resings from 93.7 K-Lite's jingle package from TM Studios. It also had versions recorded by various local artists, including Sharon Cuneta, Regine Velasquez, Martin Nievera, The CompanY, Kuh Ledesma, Lea Salonga, Bituin Escalante etc. as part of its "Why does this singer have lite rock on his/her radio?" campaign. Since 2010, it has been exclusively heard on the surviving WRocK station, DYRK in Cebu.

On May 18, 2009, along with the rebrand, it used the Delilah jingle package from ReelWorld, since it ironically has the same tune as that of K-Lite's. Acapella versions of their jingles were used during their Monday program Remember Someone Today from October 2012 to February 2020.

On December 3, 2021, a few weeks after relaunching its logo, its jingle package was also revamped after 12 years, this time using the Easy Radio jingle package from ReelWorld while keeping the iconic melody of the station. (ReelWorld also produced jingles for its sister stations Love Radio and Yes The Best.)

HD Radio operations

At present, 96.3 Easy Rock is also heard via digital HD Radio via the HD1 channel. The HD2 channel carries the simulcast of Radyo Natin Nationwide, a hometown-formatted national radio station owned by MBC affiliate Radyo Natin Network. The HD3 channel carries a simulcast of sister AM station DZRH.
