 the University of Chicago. The couple started a family, living in the rented house of acclaimed economist Milton Friedman near the university campus.
Dr. Cook completed his doctorate and became a professor at Harvard Business School in 1956. He taught a range of courses that included Business Responsibilities in American Society. "He was very much of the Adam Smith school of economics," said his son Peter of Sudbury, describing the influence the 18th century Scottish economist had on his father's core beliefs. "He didn't believe in government restrictions."
At 39, Dr. Cook accepted the presidency at Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Ind. in 1966. He spent two years in the post before returning to Massachusetts, where he signed on as a special consultant to MIT president Howard Johnson. The two had met during Dr. Cook's tenure at Harvard.
Dr. Cook also launched his own business consulting company, Paul W. Cook Jr. Associates of Lincoln, in 1970. He provided his economic expertise to legal firms representing large companies in antitrust lawsuits filed by the government. Dr. Cook worked with the New York firm Cravath, Swaine, and Moore, among others, and helped the defense of cereal giant Kellogg's and Morton Salt.
"He was always much more of a free-trade believer," his son said. "Less government control let the system work itself."
Though an economic whiz, Dr. Cook never bored his children with his work. "He didn't pitch his economic theories to his kids," John Cook said. "He was interested in teaching us how to bait a hook or play catch instead."
After years of renting vacation spots on Martha's Vineyard, the Cooks purchased a home in West Tisbury in 1967. Dr. Cook devoted many hours to studying what lures and bait work best, the benefits of trolling vs. surfcasting, and the different prey that hide in Nantucket Sound.
He also met Johnny Mayhew, a Vineyarder who lived down the street from the Cooks and would become Dr. Cook's fishing buddy.
"He learned a hell of a lot," said Mayhew, 83. "I used to kid him, but he ended up being quite a good fisherman. One day, just the two of us caught about 600 pounds [of bluefish] surfcasting. We were both looking forward to this year."
Dr. Cook kept a 26-foot inboard fishing boat at a boatyard on Lagoon Pond near Vineyard Haven, and for decades cast off on almost daily expeditions, unless weather conditions prohibited the hunt. Sometimes the lure of the chase clouded the pair's judgment. "One time, we went out, and it breezed up, blowing about 45 miles per hour. It was pretty snotty out there," Mayhew said.
During retirement, Dr. Cook instructed and took courses at the Harvard Institute of Learning in Retirement in Cambridge. He spent winter months for the last 15 years in Marco Island, Fla., with his wife, where he also fished.
Dr. Cook was a former member of the board of directors of the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln and sat on the town's Long Range Planning Committee.
"He was always an educator," said his son Peter. "I guess you could say he always saw the good in people."
In addition to his two sons, Dr. Cook leaves his wife, Marian; a daughter, Catherine Sue Cook Breau of Burnham, Maine; six grandchildren; and one great granddaughter.
A memorial service will be held at a later date.Senhor José is a minor official in a registry office. He lives alone and spends his days in the documentation of the bare essentials – birth, marriage and death – of the lives of people he doesn't know. By chance he comes across a woman's file, in which her date and place of birth are not recorded, and his ordered, restricted life is turned upside down. Determined to discover more about the woman, he breaches all the regulations which have previously ruled his life. His quest becomes an obsession and gives a new meaning to his life yet his attempt to play God with other peoples' lives is destined to create new mysteries and complexities. In Senhor José, drawn from isolation into contact with the messy realities of human relationships, Saramago has created one of his most memorable characters and All the Names is one of his most subtle and engaging novels.
Octopi, part of Navis and Cargotec Corporation, has announced a new subscription agreement with the Port of Belize Ltd. The Caribbean port chose to partner with Octopi to modernise its operations, bring the terminal up to international standards of operational excellence and upgrade its customer services, according to a statement.
The Port of Belize currently handles 45,000TEU annually and is focused primarily on container and Container Freight Station (CFS) operations, but also handles a significant volume of liquid and dry bulk cargo.
Octopi says its terminal operating system (TOS) provides the ideal combination of functionality, visibility and ease of use needed to make both immediate and lasting impact on the port’s operations. In addition, Octopi’s cloud-based platform supports the port to capture and collate its operational data.
Boss was throwing them out. All brand new, most still in packaging besides the few I took out to look at.
They are selling for $800??
there ain’t no way. For a single unit?
A zigbee hub as described would indicate it’s a receiver for zigbee devices not an RFID reader. But yeah seems like the company doesn’t even mention the product on their site so it’s hard to find info. The one site has them listed for over $800 but without any other sites to compare it to, could be just a “Hey Jimmy, stick it up there with some stupid price to see if someone buys it” type deal.
Well I mean, with that being said. What would be a recommended fair price for everyone?
If that price per unit is correct.
I will be losing out on ALOT… going by my pricing in the original posting!
But I’m not about to scam fellow members. Because that price per unit is extremely mind blowing.
looking at the price on that website seems like a crazy feels like the low supply so raise the price or we don’t have it so put a crazy price.
So they are useless or at least useless to us?
Pages 13-15 give you an idea of the system. “Useless” is a stretch if they can be used with something like homeassistant then they could be fun or I’d there hackable in any way.
Id definitely be willing to send one to you if you’re willing to give it a try/see what you can do?
Crack one open and post lots of pics, there’s better people than me on here but pictures are definatly a start.
Guessing they are proprietary to work with their Messenger LENS access control system.
Throw them up on ebay.
That being said… if anyone sees anything that can be of use, let me know.
So there’s ethernet (port not populated but looks like everything else is) including controller tlk110.
Big atmel chip (sticker covering partnumber best case its something like a atmega 2560) and interestingly looks like the zigbee controller is completely seperate board. Debug and jtag connectors as well as serial. I’d love to get one to see if it’s usable but if you wanna list them on ebay you might find a buyer.Free web-based Status Report and SCRUM management tool.
scrumitUP is a free, web-based app development tool for managers that need to create, submit and track each teams’ status reports. It’s easy to use and an ideal solution for teams spread across multiple locations.
The problem: Any manager at any company at any given time is managing a project – it could be the CEO, or it could be the QA manager. Regardless of the title, this person is tasked with the challenge of managing multiple email updates on the status of projects, and reports from each individual on the status of the project. Sometimes these updates are given in-person, but oftentimes they are provided via email which forces the manager to keep track of all the emails received with no easy way to sort them by type, submitter, problem, etc. Currently, there is no great solution for managing all of these individual status reports. And it’s even more complicated when teams are spread across multiple locations. Enter scrumitUP.
The scrumitUP solution: scrumitUP launched a web-based app for managers that need a quick and efficient way to create and maintain status reports. scrumitUP is simple and easy-to-use at any level – no learning curve or tech background required. You simply login, create a team, add team members and have them start posting status reports daily (or any scheduled days that you like). You can manage updates from any location, print reports, create tags and get daily email summaries – and best of all, it’s free.The SpaceCo Optima 3000 is offered in a variety of platform finishes and sizes.
