I tried a year or so ago to add my iPhone 12 Pro to my access control system. I was to grab ids from the phone and add them to user records. I was never able to get them to work.Today for no good reason I tried with the same iPhone and os 15.5.
I was able to unlock my doors. It took multiple attempts as the iPhone cycled through ids before it hits the matching id in my access control software.I was pretty surprised and I'm now wondering how to get it to use correct sooner/consistently.
This should work. I can already unlock the my doors with my phone it just runs through a series of keys before it sends a matching key.I think I just need to establish which key belongs to my building so that there are fewer errors or turn off the beep on failure...
Tried the Wallet Creator as given above. But unfortunaly it will not work. It can provide a serialnr. But it will not scan the NFC inside the lock or card. So we have to look further. Anyone a solution?
Perhaps it's time the European Commission leaned on Apple on this front, after basically forcing them to use USB-C.This stranglehold on the NFC chip in Apple mobile devices could really be considered market protectionism.And since no tech journalist dares to mumble this, maybe the EC should.
Many smoke control systems use automatic-opening doors to provide the necessary airflow when the system is initiated. I have worked on many projects where the pedestrian doors were equipped with automatic operators that interfaced with the smoke control system to open the doors upon activation of the system. I could not tell if these entrance doors operated that way, or whether the operators were provided for accessibility and convenience purposes only.
These doors are not required exits nor are they provided for egress purposes, so they are not required to comply with the code requirements for doors in a means of egress. The doors are not marked with exit signage, but the university went one step further and added signage stating that these doors are not exits.
I think that the signage is too small. I also think that in an event that does not set off the fire alarm, and today, that unfortunately happens more then we would like it to happen, people will be confused and try to exit through the doors.
Equality Florida is excited to have joined forces with Open To All, a campaign to transform America! At a time of deep divisions, we're joining together from all walks of life and work to build a thriving and inclusive nation where all are welcome. We know that building a stronger country means everyone should feel safe, respected and accepted as they live, shop, and work. Yet far too often, we hear stories of discrimination, such as people of color facing abuse and violence in a diner, Muslim women ordered to leave a cafe, people with disabilities being harassed in a restaurant, or an employee being fired just for being gay or transgender.
Open to All says: We must all lead the way to doing better. At the core of changing our country, Open to All is a national nondiscrimination campaign based around the idea that everyone should be welcome regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, immigration status, religion or disability. We believe we all have something to contribute. We believe we can all learn from each other. We believe that when we work together, when we value our employees, when we care for our customers and each other, we all thrive.
Open to All is a growing coalition of more than 200 non-profits, from the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and the Anti-Defamation League to disability groups, LGBTQ groups, faith organizations and more. We also unite thousands of large and small businesses across the country committed to being Open to All.
Never before have so many businesses and nonprofits joined together in a single, unified campaign that sends a message that everyone is welcome, valued and respected. Because when a business is open to the public, it should be open to all.
Open Doors is a non-denominational mission supporting persecuted Christians around the world. They work with local partners to distribute Bibles and Christian literature, give discipleship training[1] and provide practical support, such as emergency relief aid. Open Doors' stated aims are to raise awareness of global persecution, mobilising prayer, support and action among Christians from around the world. It is based in Ermelo, the Netherlands. Open Doors is also a member of the Forum of Bible Agencies International.
Open Doors was founded in 1955 by Andrew van der Bijl, a Dutchman more widely known as Brother Andrew, when he decided to smuggle Bibles to persecuted Christians in Communist Poland.[2] He continued this work in smuggling Bibles to many of the Soviet-controlled countries and in 1957 was given a blue Volkswagen Beetle which he used to make deliveries within the Communist bloc.[3] With this new car he was able to carry more literature. Thereafter, the work of Open Doors continued to expand as it extended its network throughout Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. The name "Open Doors" referencing that of a welcoming group due to the doors being open at all times. He was responsible for smuggling millions of Bibles behind the Iron Curtain.[4]
In 1988, Open Doors used Glasnost[8] as an opportunity to openly provide one million Russian Bibles to the Russian Orthodox Church, at a cost of $2.5 million.[9] Open Doors partnered with the United Bible Societies to complete the task in just over one year.[10]
In 2005, 428,856 people from over 70 different countries signed Open Doors' global Right to Believe petition, saying Yes to religious liberty and No to the UN's Defamation of Religions Resolution.[11] The petition was presented to the UN in New York in December 2010.[12]
The organization publishes an annual World Watch List which ranks countries by the severity of persecution faced by active Christians. The WWL is based on research and comparison of field researchers, external experts, academics[who?], and publicly available research documents but is subjective. In 2012, the methodology of the WWL was comprehensively revised in order to provide greater credibility, transparency, objectivity and scientific quality.[citation needed] In 2013, further refinement of the methodology took place.[22] Countries are ranked on a scale from 0 to 100 depending on the persecution of church life, national life, community life, family life, private life and violence against Christians. Countries are categorized under "Extreme Persecution", "Very High Persecution" or "High Persecution". In 2021, all top 50 countries were in both the "Extreme Persecution" and "Very High Persecution" categories for the first time since the World Watch List was originally published.[23] In 2022, Afghanistan overtook North Korea to become the country with the highest level of persecution. North Korea returned to the top of the list in 2023, with the highest levels of persecution ever seen.[24] The report found Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa at the epicenter of violence against Christians.[25]
