Patrol Manager works by recording data from location buttons located along a specified route. Whenever it touches one of the location buttons, the unique code from that buttons is recorded in Patrol Manager’s memory together with the date and time. Operating on the same principle, buttons can be programmed to record individual events e.g. window open, lock broken etc. Event Wallets, containing up to 10 data cells per wallet allow electronic recording of patrol findings.
or
Patrol Manager is a revolutionary new concept to help companies maintain control of their security personnel and processes. Just imagine receiving a daily printed report itemising in detail the movements over the past 24 hours of every member of your security staff and the events they encounter.

Centennial Mountain Area of Environmental Concern, Montana
This area is an ACEC based on the habitat it contains for grizzly bear, lynx and wolf, its use as a wildlife migration corridor, its outstanding scenic value, and for the only known occurrence in Montana of Whipple’s beardtongue. The area provides relatively intact habitat with limited evidence of human-caused impacts, and provides and important route for wildlife migration and movement between high security habitats. The Continental Divide Trail traverses this area and passes through some the highest quality scenic values in southwest Montana. The dramatic 3,000 foot rise of the northern face of the Centennial Mountains is a well-known landmark in the region.

Tom, the property manager of Whalesback Cottage and a very friendly and jolly Irishman, told me to go 600 meters down the road and stop at what looked like a small barn with two refrigerated trucks parked out front. Go in and tell them Tom sent me and I wanted to have some lobsters cooked for dinner. The place was a lobster distributor that sold fresh lobster to local restaurants and stores. The boats literally pull up to the back of the shop and unload their haul into large pools. They grabbed two lobsters and weighed them up, then cooked them. Amazingly well done and at about a third of the price of a restaurant. Dolce and I were happy campers. We had so much lobster, we had to make lobster omelettes the next day for breakfast!

Eric Baker 34/52
Meet The Person:
Eric Baker - Quality Assurance Manager.
Eric does Quality Assurance for ASF east and nearly everything else there as well. What excites him most about his work is the experience he is gaining to put on his resume. He has worked his way up the ladder and is now running his own department. He also has his 16k medical degree that he is not currently using. He was hoping to be dead before paying off all of his school loans (his words not mine!)
Personally, Eric says his life can not be any better. As a kid, Eric lived about 10 lives thus far, really getting his money's worth! He has now settled down with his beautiful wife Nikki (married last May - www.nickpompei.com/baker) He and Nikki have a dog who they love spending time with. In fact, Eric would rather spend time being with them more than anyone else!
Eric also enjoys spending time with a lot of his close friends. He has remained close with a lot of friends from his childhood and holds his friends near and dear. He is also involved in many sports and currently plays for the Telford Rangers. His team is in a league which is one of the biggest adult baseball leagues in the country and very competitive for a 30 plus league. He was also a boxer on and off for eight years. He also helped train an MMA fighter who went on to fight a very high profile MMA fighter in the UFC.
Eric thanks his parents for their support and tough love. Eric was always involved in something and his parents helped guide him along. One night after training with the heavyweight boxer at the gym, his mom came up to his room. She stopped dead in her tracks and was screaming and crying. Eric was bleeding all over his pillow - he suffered bleeding in his equilibrium and over night had bled onto his pillow. Needless to say, Mrs. Baker was not a happy camper!
Eric wouldn’t change anything about his past. He is very down to earth and sees the world for what it is.
Influence:
Eric Baker. Crazy dude.
Eric has been one of my best friends since 9th grade. He was that older kid who I wanted to be friends with. He was tough, cool and a bad ass. And as a little 9th grader, getting to hang out and be friends with a kid like him was awesome!
We hit it off right away and quickly became inseparable. Eric, Tim, and I all became the three amigos - hanging out together nearly every waking minute. We would all feed off of each other and the crazy stuff we did was, well, crazy. One night, during the week because you know, what do you do during the week as a high school kid, Eric and I were bored and driving around. He had this awesome, 1985 VW Rabbit GTI. The car was awesome and I wish he still had it because it’s a collectors car now! My parents had gotten my family a new Sony camcorder. At the time, it was a sweet camcorder. So I have this camcorder with me and Eric is driving down the road near our high school and we see this dead raccoon on the side of the road. And what else do high school kids do with a dead raccoon? Nothing right? Not us. We pulled over, hopped out and grabbed his jumper cables from his hatch. I put one end of the cables on the coon’s dead foot and then pull the other end up to the passenger door and get back in, hanging out the window. So now, I am carrying the video camera in my left hand, hanging out the window while holding the other end of the jumper cable (the other end attached to the coon) and begin filming. Eric peels off and now we are dragging this raccoon about 2’ behind his GTI with me hanging out the window filming the entire thing. I am laughing so hard its nearly impossible to make out what’s dragging behind the car because the camera is vibrating from my laughing. We take this thing up and down the road a few times and now have a lineup of cars behind us, witnessing the craziness. We thought this was the funniest thing ever. So Eric gets this idea to put the raccoon on the rock. Now the rock is this huge boulder that Pennridge had outfront of the high school so kids would spray paint and graffiti it instead of the building itself. So we park his car, carefully get out (coon still attached and dragging) while I am still filming. We walk up to the rock, tag up the rock with a line that lives in infamy to this very day - “1 luv coon” We then drape the raccoon overtop of the rock in a proper burial/symbolism of the fun we had. I of course am filming all of this right up to the end when we peel out of the parking lot, basking in the awesomeness that we just accomplished. If there was YouTube back then, we easily would have topped over 5 million views, I can guarantee it! This tape still exists by the way…
Eric was one of three boys. So his younger brother was easy prey for the three of us. We would have so much fun beating up and picking on his little brother and all of his friends. Since I would always be down in the wood lab at the high school, I would make us some awesome paddles to beat them with. If anyone has seen the movie ‘Dazed and Confused’ you all know exactly what I am talking about! I even drilled holes in them so when you swung them they moved through the air faster! We would be hanging out at Eric’s house just playing video games and just decide it was time to go beat up his brother. We would kick in the door, jump on him, rough him and anyone in there up, then go back to our business. Man that was good times. Of course, we got older and they somehow got physically bigger than us and that stopped quickly!
Eric is also a second rate stuntman/daredevil. He jumps from trees, hangs your cooler 20’ in the air out on a thin branch for you to clean up the next day and even paralyzes himself but doesn’t really paralyze himself. That’s a fun story. On our first trip down to Virginia beach for Senior Week, we had this awesome house with a pool out back. Because it was senior week, some people were drinking during the day and Eric being Eric, did a nice flying squirrel or flip or something into the pool. But the pool was only like four feet deep. No one thinks anything of it and we are going about our business. Well he slowly surfaces and somehow crawls out of the pool and lays on a chair. A few minutes later he starts murmuring something about not being able to feel his legs and had a splitting headache. So we start worrying because Eric doesn’t complain about pain. He told us how when he jumped into the pool he smashed the top of his head on the bottom. He said everything went limp and he doesn’t remember getting out of the pool or the last few minutes. We rushed to get him some water to drink to kind of calm down. It may have been the only time I have ever seen Eric drink water. So luckily he came around and started to feel his legs again. I am not positive but I think he has secret superhuman powers. Either that or he is really lucky, which may also be the case! Either way, that didn’t slow him down because I know he has done some crazy stuff since then!
Eric I have had some amazing times together. The time I spent with him has given me some of the funniest and craziest moments of my life. We have had some rocky moments in our friendship, and who hasn’t? But he is someone who I could count on in a heartbeat if I needed something. He was there for me when my high school girlfriend and I broke up, when my sister got sick, when I tried picking fights with kids I had no business fighting, when I would need a harrassing for not skipping school with him and Tim, when I wanted to have some fun on a random school night and everything else in between. If I needed something right now I could call Eric up and he would do it for me, no questions asked. That’s just the type of guy he is.
Love you bud,

Media Information on the WMOF2018 Closing Mass in Phoenix Park
3.00pm Sunday 26 August 2018

Prelude in the Park will feature national and international performers from Ireland, England, America, Germany, Austria, France, India, Canada and USA. They will lead worship, drama and pop-up concerts to prepare everyone for the arrival of Pope Francis at 2.30pm.

The Mass
Father Liam Lawton, liturgical composer and priest of the Diocese of Kildare and Leighlin, will sing the psalm, The Lord Hears the Cry of the Poor, which he has composed for the Papal Mass. Father Liam will be joined by a 3,000 strong papal Mass choir that has been brought together for the Mass.
The first reading will be proclaimed ‘as Gaeilge’ by Marie Wheldon from Clontarf, who was involved in the new Irish language translation of ‘An Leabhar Aifreann’. While Teresa Menendez, originally from Argentina and marketing manager for the World Meeting of Families 2018, will read the second reading in Spanish.

Mother of five Emma Mhic Mhathuna, will bring up one of the offertory gifts for the Papal Mass in the Phoenix Park tomorrow afternoon. The mother of five will be accompanied by her children, Natasha, Seamus, Mario, Oisín, and Donnacha, and friends, Mai Uí Bhruic and Tomás Ó Bruic.

•The family of one of those killed in the Omagh bombing 20 years ago;
•and a family involved in the “All Are Welcome” Mass in Avila, in Donnybrook, Dublin.
•LITURGICAL MUSIC
The music chosen for the Papal Mass will place an emphasis on congregational singing, so many of the pieces will be familiar to those in the Phoenix Park congregation of 500,000.
Irish music and composers feature prominently throughout the Mass. The Opening Hymn is A Joy For All The Earth, written by Ephrem Feeley, which is the official hymn for WMOF2018.

Irish music and composers feature prominently throughout the Mass. The Opening Hymn is A Joy For All The Earth which is the official hymn for WMOF2018 written by Ephrem Feeley. Well-known liturgical composer Father Liam Lawton has composed a new Psalm for the Mass which is called The Lord Hears the Cry of the Poor.
Two pieces by Ireland’s most renowned liturgical composer, Seán Ó Riada, feature as the Penitential Rite/Kyrie (A Thiarna Déan Trócaire), and at the Lord’s Prayer (Ár nAthair). Fintan O’Carroll’s Celtic Alleluia with an enhanced verse by Ronan McDonagh will be sung as the Gospel acclamation.
The Apostles’ Creed will be John O’Keeffe’s own composition, while Fr. Pat Ahern’s A Thiarna Éist Linn will be sung between the Prayers of the Faithful.
As this is a World Meeting of Families there will be a number of international composers featured in the Mass including Caritas et Amor by Z. Randall Stroope has been chosen for the Presentation of Gifts and three piece from Jean-Paul Lécot’s Mass of Our Lady of Lourdes will feature as the Gloria, Sanctus, and Doxology/Amen.
The Communion hymns will be Ave Verum (William Byrd), The Last Supper (Bernard Sexton), Come Feast at this Table (Ian Callanan), Anima Christi (Mon. Marco Frisina), and Bí Íosa im Chroíse.
And finally, the Anthem to Our Lady will be Go mBeannaítear Duit, A Mhuire by Peadar Ó Riada (son of Seán), and the Recessional Hymn: Jesus Christ, You Are My Life by Mon. Marco Frisina.
•THE VESTMENTS - POPE FRANCIS WILL WEAR GREEN VESTMENTS INSPIRED BY CELTIC IMAGERY
Green has been chosen as the colour of vestments to be worn by Pope Francis during the Closing Mass of WMOF2018 which is the colour associated in the liturgy with Ordinary Time. The green is a symbol of how God is ever-faithful, and it also quite appropriate for a celebration in Ireland.
At the centre of each vestment is the Trinity spiral, the same as can be seen in the WMOF2018 logo. The three parts of the spiral represent the mystery of the Holy Trinity, and also draws from Celtic imagery, as spirals can be found on many ancient stones and monuments of Ireland’s past. The colours used in the spiral are the same green, red and gold as the vestments.
Alongside the central spiral are lines which lift and spread out along the side of the vestments. These lines are inspired by the line in the liturgy ‘Lift up your hearts’ inviting us to participate in the celebration of Mass. When expanded the lines represent a cross, with the Trinity spiral as the head of the cross.
The vestments were produced by Haftina, a family business based in Poland, which specialises in liturgical vestments, chalice gowns, altar tablecloths and canopies. The vestment designs were created by Haftina in collaboration with the WMOF2018 Liturgical Committee.
•PENAL CROSS AND PROCESSIONAL CROSS
A penal cross will be present on the Altar while Pope Francis celebrates Mass in the Phoenix Park. The cross, which is carved into a single piece of wood, dates back to 1763 and has been cared for at a Carmelite Community in the Archdiocese of Dublin. The carvings on the front and back of the cross are designed to tell the story of the Passion and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The penal cross served as the inspiration for the processional cross which was newly created by Anne Murphy of Eala Enamels, based in Co Carlow in the Diocese of Kildare and Leighlin.
•CHALICES AND CIBORIA
To aid in the distribution of Holy Communion during celebrations of Mass both at the Pastoral Congress in the RDS and at the Phoenix Park, 4,000 ciboria and 200 chalices have been produced by MMI who are based in the Bluebell industrial estate in Dublin. The ciboria and chalices are pewter and silver, adorned with a Celtic cross containing the Trinity spiral of WMOF2018.

Schirmer Farms (Batesville) Operations Manager Brandon Schirmer, sprays defoliant on one of the fields at his father's multi-crop 1,014-acre farm, in Batesville, TX, on August 12, 2020. Mr. Schirmer has already contacted the Texas Department of Agriculture to let them know that he will be spraying a defoliant to promote the cotton plant's leaves to drop off and bolls to open in preparation for harvest approximately 14-days later. The plant remains alive and will continue to produce cotton unless the field needs to be replanted for another crop to improve soil health or for economic opportunity. The sprayer vehicle has location and system data that is accessed by a smart-device app. The app allows him to show authorities detailed records of what, where, and how much was sprayed. He uses this historical spray data to improve future harvests. The liquid concentrates are carefully measured and safely poured into the sprayer's mixing system. Once in the cotton fields, the sprayer with its 90-foot-wide spray arms will deliver defoliant to the plants just below the nozzles.
Schirmer Farms operates in consultation with an agronomist for science-based recommendations for all soil, crop, and harvest management.
Brandon Schirmer is the sixth generation of the Schirmer farming family.

We are very proud to be working with the SCCS and be part of this year’s Go Bald 6.0 to help support the unfortunate children as well as their families and loved ones. We want to tell them to always be strong, keep on fighting and stay positive… that their hair loss is only temporary and part of the recovery process. After all, being bald is cool!”
SCCS Manager Jodie Sim said: “We are very pleased to have Tune Hotels coming on board for Go Bald 6.0 this year. We hope our Go Bald tour covering Kuching, Sibu, Bintulu and Miri this year will be the biggest ever. We look forward to more volunteers and donors who will come forward and participate for this noble cause.”
