Corrupted Office word files
What has happened to my word docs? I cannot open them - the icon for these docs is a plain orange/yellow sheet instead of the the normal whote with blue W logo on - this happens on docs I created and saved myself over the past couple years or with a word
doc attachment that looks normal on the email but try open in and it says doesnt recognise programme.
I then get a Microsoft pop up asking me to upgrade.
This Office package (Word Starter 10) was part of my computer when I bought it and has worked fine for
the past couple years since new - suddenly this happens - very important docs I cannot get access to.
Anyone know why this has happened and what I do to get the docs back to normal format so I can open, edit save etc.

Birtwistle – Melancolia I
Vaughan Williams – Flos Campi
Joy Farrall (clarinet)Helen Tunstall (harp)
Clare Finnimore (viola)
Britten Sinfonia Voices (director: Eamonn Doughan)
Students from the Royal Academy of Music
Britten Sinfonia
Baldur Brönnimann (conductor)
This final concert in the Barbican Centre's 'Birtwistle at 80' series – I managed to attend all but one – presented some of the composer's music in a more general English context. Whilst there are doubtless correspondences to be drawn here, I could not help but wonder whether something a little more international might have been preferable. There are strands of pastoralism – albeit of rather different nature – and melancholy in common, but might it not have been more revealing to hear either some music from the more distant past or music from Birtwistle's contemporaries? The Britten Sinfonia nevertheless offered fine performances under Baldur Brönnimann, joined by students from the Royal Academy of Music for Melancolia I.
Vaughan Williams's Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis received an excellent, very 'different' performance: perhaps in part, though this is too easy an answer by itself, the result of having a conductor unburdened by a host of 'traditional English' associations? The score sounded febrile, almost Baroque (in a positive sense); but Ravel was present too, and, despite the small forces, so was lushness of sound. Structure was admirably clear – and meaningful, developmental in spite of the tendencies to stasis. Novelty of interpretation notwithstanding, the aforementioned vein of melancholy remained.
The interest Holst seems to have held for Birtwistle is understandable. Birtwistle is quoted in the programme as having described his predecessor as 'a strange, shadowy figure', who 'didn't really ever find himself and suffered from the English label'. No one could accuse Birtwistle of having failed to find himself, but the blurred line between 'English' and 'continental' music may suggest something in common. One can also imagine Birtwistle having set some of the same texts, especially in the case of the Eight Canons from 1932. I wondered whether the performances from Britten Sinfonia Voices were sometimes a little too bright in character for the texts, imbued as they are with loss. Words were not always as distinctly communicated as they might have been. That said, one had due sense of the musical processes at work, as one did with Birtwistle's own Ausonius piece, The Fields of Sorrow, which followed on immediately from Holst's (seemingly unknown to Birtwistle at the time of composition) From the piano opening and English horn response, to the very close, this was a melancholy, but never maudlin, experience, its symmetries seemingly both reflective of and helping to construct an imaginary – 'mechanical pastoral'? – landscape. 'Old flowers that were once bewailed names of kings' came to life – and, perhaps, to death in the final antiphonal exchanges.
Melancholia I came in 1976, five years after The Fields of Sorrow. The composer's tool of 'stasis in progress' was audibly present not only in work but also potent, well-shaped performance. Joy Farrell's performance on clarinets and Helen Tunstall's on harp were irreproachable, the former perhaps inevitably bringing to mind ghosts of Pierrot, however different the material and its working. Swarming strings, the Royal Academy players significantly augmenting their ranks, offered spatial as well as dramatic distinctions. A return to Vaughan Williams for the final Flos campi brought an apparent echo of the English horn from The Fields of Sorrow. The performance was purposeful, with excellent singing and playing from all concerned; Clare Finnimore made a fine last-minute replacement for the indisposed Maxim Rysanov. Vaughan Williams's sensual, wordless delight may be very different from Birtwistle's landscapes, but there is virtue in contrast as well as in correspondence, and in practice one is likely to find, as here, something of both.

Pregnancy Answer A25550
Welcome to ehealthforum,
If you have been sexually active during later days of period time or after finishing with periods, then you could expect chances of pregnancy as you get closer to your fertile days at after finishing with periods. Sperms once released can stay alive for 3-4 days inside you. The egg once released from ovary can stay alive for 6-7 days. The cramps and the spotting could have been suggestive of possibility of pregnancy. Wait and watch for your next periods. If you suspect to be pregnant, look out for development of any other new symptoms suggestive of pregnancy. If you suspect pregnancy, or if periods do not start within 10 days of expected period dates, or if you have altered periods, consider visiting your doctor/gynecologist at the earliest for further examination (to confirm pregnancy related changes/signs in body) and blood/serum HCG level test (to confirm/rule out pregnancy accurately). Take adequate rest. Drink plenty of water. Maintain healthy diet.
Take care.

According to experts at LiveAquaria, the Columbian Shark, also known as the black fin shark, requires a moderately low level of care. Despite its misleading name, the black fin is actually a catfish, and its peaceful demeanor makes it a popular addition to aquariums.
Black fin sharks can grow up to 10 inches long, so a tank size of at least 70 gallons is recommended. The species prefers at least some degree of aquarium salt in the water, and it can be acclimated gradually to saltwater aquariums. Avoid pairing larger black fins with significantly smaller tank mates, and keep the diet to bloodworms, sinking catfish pellets and high-quality algae food.

Clean brewing equipment is an
absolute necessity for the best coffee flavour, so it's surprising
how often I see various brewers layered with old coffee gunk. The
problem is simple, coffee oils tend to stick to most surfaces, and
when they oxidize they form a tarry coating.
Oxidized coffee oils also have a
horrible rancid taste, which easily contaminates a fresh brew. Prime
culprits are often the filter screens of plungers and moka pots and
the filter holders in drip brewers. All of these can usually be
easily removed for a good scrub with hot water and detergent,
followed by a thorough rinse.
When it comes to espresso
machines, though, the cleaning requirements get a little bit more
complex. First, the most used bits, the portafilter, filter baskets,
shower screen and gasket should be cleaned every day. You can get
special espresso machine cleaners which are mostly trisodium
phosphate, but a good wash in hot water and detergent will do for
the portafilter and baskets. The showerscreen can be wiped with a
soapy sponge, as can the rubber gasket. The gasket can also be
cleaned of grounds with a brush, a bent "kiddy" toothbrush works
Remember to rinse everything
clean; you don't want detergent flavoured coffee!
About once a month the
showerscreen can be removed for cleaning. It's important to use the
correct sized screwdriver so you don't strip the screw; there are
pictures with this month's internet newsletter showing the
procedure. Use a scotchbrite with detergent to clean the group, and
if the screen is really dirty and the holes are blocked, a wire
brush can work wonders. When you replace the showerscreen, the screw
should only be "finger tight". In between the daily and monthly
cleaning machines with solenoids can be "backflushed" about once a
week to clean out the showerscreen and water path to the
IMPORTANT NOTE! None of the
domestic espresso machine manufacturers recommend backflushing, and
any damage that occurs while you're doing it will not be covered by
That said, there is an excellent "how-to"
tutorial on Randy Glass' website at http://www.espressomyespresso.com that takes you through the necessary steps. You do need
accessories like blind filters and espresso machine
Unfortunately no equivalent basket exists
for the Lelit machines, so again there are photos on the website showing
how to make do. I use a circle of self adhesive foil tape in the
bottom of the single filter basket, as you can see.
Finally, machines should be descaled about every
6 months or so. You can use expensive commercial descaler or plain
citric acid from the supermarket. First, remove the showerscreen
(and the water spreader washer on the Silvia).
Simply dissolve 10g of citric acid in a cup of
hot water, then add cold water to make the quantity up to a litre.
Replace any water in the tank with the citric acid solution, then
run 300ml (one and a half cups) of water through the group, then
turn off the machine. Wait 20 minutes then turn on again and run
another 300ml out, this time through the steam wand, then turn the
machine off. Repeat once more, then empty any remaining solution
from the tank, flush with clean water, refill and run about a litre
of clean water through the machine, alternating between the group
and the steam wand. Replace the showerscreen (and washer spreader)
and you're ready to brew

House of Horses Helsinki – a new brand
House of Horses webstore that I founded in the beginning of 2016 started more as an equestrian webstore importing goods from outside Finland. Actually mostly from States and Canada, also some from France. After a while I started also to design House of Horses' own collection, when I wanted to sell some things that were hard to find or didn't exist. One of these is the House of Horses Stirrup Bag, which resolves the annoying problem with the storage of big stirrups like Free Jump or Jin Stirrup -type heavy jumping stirrups. The Stirrup Bag prevents them from scratching the saddle and keeps them "up" while not in use. Stirrup Bag became immediately a success as there was not another product like that on the market. It was also featured recently in ReiterRevue 2/2017 which for me was a huge milestone! 😀
During last year I also designed a halter and some saddle pads to the HoH -collection. This year is going to be even more interesting for HoH – last week we launched the House of Horses hoodie to the public in the Helsinki Horse Fair! It's a hoodie designed to equestrians – longer from the back, opening cuts in the sides, zippers in the pockets and a really flattering super cut! I'm really happy of this product and we almost sold out during the fair – next fair will be in Tampere Hevoset fair in April.
During spring the collection will grow a little – with a perfect cap and a scarf for stables – with a hint of our favourite colour – light pink of course 😉 Stay tuned! Follow our story in Instagram and Facebook and remember to tag House of Horses in your pics of our products or use #hohfinland! I'm so happy to bring Finnish design to the equestrian world 🙂
Wish you all a lovely spring time,
And thank you for all the supporting feedback during the journey of HoH – glad to have you on board! <3

Innovative cuisine in stunning surrounds with sustainability at the heart
Unique selling point: Far from the straightforward sit-down restaurant experience, at Azurmendi the journey starts in the rooftop vegetable garden where guests inspect the home-grown produce before continuing via the kitchen to an indoor greenhouse for a selection of 'snacks'. Diners are eventually seated in a section of the dining room, flanked by temporary fabric walls projecting different scenes for different courses.
The chef: Basque cook Eneko Atxa was brought up with the kitchen at the heart of his home and says he's committed to giving guests the same homely experience. Azurmendi is a family business that also houses a winery run by his cousin, Bertol Izagirre, specialising in Basque txakoli wine.
Other ventures: The chef opened Eneko at One Aldwych, a more relaxed version of Azurmendi, in London in 2016.
On the menu: Highlights include Truffled egg, which is 'cooked inside out', with part of the yolk removed and replaced with truffle consommé, while Edible Cotton is a classic snack that guests eat in the greenhouse.
Bonus point: Azurmendi first won The Sustainable Restaurant Award in 2014, and this year it once again gained the highest sustainbility rating, winning the award for a second time. Not only is the restaurant made with environmentally friendly materials, it also recycles its own waste, harvests rainfall and cools itself using geothermal energy.

Maple Apple Chips
A week ago I made these apple chips. A week ago was also the first time I took any of my children to the emergency room to be seen. It wasn't life threatening by any means but any injury can cause a panic. Though the only one truly panicking was my oldest.
It all started with her wanting to practice cutting apples as she saw me doing. She silently refused to wait for help and took it upon herself to try when my back was ever so briefly turned. Tools are sharp and she learned that the hard way.
What should have been an hour visit (max) at the hospital took 4 hours. FOUR! When we arrived we were next in line, but then one ambulance after another arrived and we were pushed back in line waiting. Do you have any idea how it is to sit in an emergency room with three children? One who is scared and bleeding, another who is bouncing off of the walls and won't sit still and the last who is desperately trying to fight a nap but knows he should just give in. It was fabulous. Thankfully the Mr left work early and surprised us. A much needed and appreciated helping hand.
Well into our extended visit, her finger was glued up and we were nearly on our way.
So arriving home, finally, these beauties were still sitting on the counter waiting to go in the oven. After sitting out for so long they had some extra time to dry out on their own but fear not, that wouldn't be the only time I made these. I needed and wanted more so I made a second batch the next day.
I wish I'd made a batch of cinnamon apple chips along with these because I'm not sure which I like more. I'm a huge apple cinnamon fan but the sweetness from the maple syrup was just outstanding. It complimented the apples perfectly. And since I had some smaller apples to work with this year, I was able to use a mandoline slicer (see also injury – be careful people) unlike last year where my apples were too big and had to use a knife. This meant thinner slices and a crisper finish with the maple chips. Absolutely heavenly.
If you've never made apple chips and have a serious love for apples, I highly recommend making some. They're a true treat to have and a great healthy snack!
Cook Time: 3-4 hours
Maple Apple Chips
- apples (I used Cortland and Paula Red)
- maple syrup
Wash apples well. Carefully slice apples as thin as possible using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, discard seeds. Place slices on a parchment lined baking sheet. Generously brush with maple syrup.
Place in a 200 degree oven for 3-4 hours or until apple chips are crisp.
If making multiple trays at once, be sure to rotate trays between racks after each hour. I made 2 trays on day one and 3 trays on day two.
Store in an airtight container for up to several weeks or more.

Partnerships key to retail fund of funds at Sella Gestioni
A new approach to the use of open architecture is behind the introduction of fund of funds strategies at Sella Gestioni in Italy, explains Mario Baronci, who heads the selection team.
A new approach to the use of open architecture is behind the introduction of fund of funds strategies at Sella Gestioni in Italy, explains Mario Baronci, who heads the selection team.
Italy's Sella Gestioni Sgr, the asset management arm of domestic bank Gruppo Banca Sella, launched its Star Collection at the end of January, a multi-manager fund of funds created using five different strategies.
The investment portfolio's focus is on medium/long-term euro bonds, balanced emerging markets, global multi-assets, international bonds and international equities.
Funds included in the five strategies are selected among international houses. Most of the process is run by Sella Gestioni, on behalf of its holding bank, by a team headed by Mario Baronci (pictured).
Allocation balance
Baronci says that the decision to step into the fund of funds arena has been driven by the willingness of the bank to handle the open architecture process offered to retail clients in a more effective way.
Star Collection allows investment advisers to balance the allocation of clients' money on a constant basis. Retail investors have a target volatility, which in current markets has become hard to abide. The right mix of funds managed by the biggest international players make this process easier and more effective for the bank.
Fund houses are selected through a careful qualitative and quantitative screening, based on the investment philosophy and process, and performance consistency.
This process is run by the fund selection team with the support of the research team at the bank.
"We work with about 15 fund houses, giving priority to firms with which Banca Sella has set up partnership agreements," Baronci says.
These are: Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, Carmignac, Schroders, Franklin Templeton and Fidelity.
On top of these six players, Baronci has selected about 10 extra firms which are taking a relevant weight in the portfolio mix.
"We have a carefully selected investment universe," Baronci adds. "We assign an internal rating to funds in each asset class, based on our proprietary research, following which we derive a buy list for top funds. A third of the quantitative analysis we use is developed by our research team, two thirds comes from external data providers."
Quantitative analysis is applied to each fund's past performance over the past three years, a very robust time span in which risk aversion regimes constantly alternated, with sharpe ratio and information ratio as the main parameters. Funds are taken into account only if they have at least three years of distribution.
Team coach
Given the experience of the bank in fund selection, Baronci's team acts like a football team coach. "We already know who are the best players, but we have to field the ones that work better for each match," he says.
Each fund of funds includes 10 to 15 funds, as Baronci believes diversification can add value only up to a limited number.
At the moment, given the initiative has just launched and is a work in progress, the funds mix is updated on a daily basis. Looking ahead, Baronci expects the funds will be reviewed on a monthly basis, with constant monitoring of performance.
So far, Star Collection has been welcomed by the market, and the fund has posted interesting inflows in the first few weeks. Looking ahead, the Italian bank has set an ambitious target of inflows for its new product, made even harder by current market conditions.
It is yet to be seen if the Italian investment market is ready to light up for this new offering. If this proves to be the case, it is likely the strategy formulated by Banca Sella will be soon replicated by most of its competitors.

Find out something new about the FSPA Tap Faculty/
Megan White
Tap 1 & 2
1. Why do you love tap?
I started taping when I was 2 years old. My mom said I wanted to tap so bad she begged the local dance studio to take a 2 year old in the 3 year old class. I haven't stopped since. I love how much creativity you're allowed in tap. Your tap shoes are like a jazz instrument. The possibilities are endless.
2. What do you love about teaching tap?
I always say tap is like Legos. You have to learn all the basic steps to create a wonderful masterpiece. Tap is really just creating different combination of basic steps and changing the tempo or rhythm to create different sounds.
3. Dream role that includes tap?
I love the tap number Abraham, choreographed by Robert Alton. It is Vera Ellen's solo in the movie White Christmas.
Renee McKinney
Tap 3 & 4
1. Why do you love tap?
I'm only happy when I'm tapping!
2. What do you love about teaching tap?
Seeing students progress throughout the year and enjoying tap!
3. Dream role that includes tap?
I played Erma in "Anything Goes", would have loved to been Peggy Sawyer in "42nd Street" (I was her understudy!)
I was also in the chorus of "Singing in the Rain" but would had loved to have played Kathy Selden!

TECHUPDATE - Mill Wide Information Systems
By Tony Kryzanowski
Wonderware PacWest
The Wonderware System Platform provides a single, scalable software foundation designed to integrate new and existing industrial systems into a unified operations management solution.
System Platform is an object-based approach with a common set of applications that allow users to build a custom-fit and easily maintained manufacturing system that represents the exact processes that require control, monitoring and management at production facilities.
Leveraging Wonderware's unique ArchestrA technology, System Platform can meet the most demanding industrial manufacturing requirements, the company says.
It can achieve increased manufacturing supply chain efficiency through reliable and optimized information flow between the plant floor and business systems. The Wonderware System Platform enables business continuity throughout the enterprise by interfacing with Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), Supply Chain Management (SCM) and many other enterprise business systems.
MyMill from USNR is a mobile machine monitoring and control system that allows mill personnel to interact with equipment using mobile devices. This new tool gives people the freedom to move around the mill, carrying the tools and information necessary to do the job from wherever they are, the company says.
With a dozen systems now sold, MyMill is catching on as a time and money saving solution for streamlining mill operations. The system delivers all the functionality that is typically available through a stationary HMI touch screen, at a fraction of the cost, according to USNR.
MyMill is not limited to sorter and dry kiln functionality. It can be used for operations, maintenance, quality control, and monitoring of virtually every machine centre. Operating with built-in safety features over a dedicated and secure wireless in-plant network, MyMill reduces downtime and simplifies maintenance and troubleshooting.
TradeTec Computer Systems
Effective sales campaigning helps forest companies to identify prospects, contact these prospects and turn those leads into customers. Campaigning can be incorporated into a company sales strategy with a simple to use web-based interface, capable of working on anything from a smart phone to a desktop, and run from within the company's inventory program.
Salespeople won't have to jump from inventory to CRM to email when making sales; one program, TallyWeb, brings it all together and is easily adapted for multiple users and multiple mill applications. With built-in CRM, sales campaigning, Voice Over I/P, and Microsoft Outlook interface, sales progress can be tracked right down to the call or email level, and success measured.
Microsoft's SSRS reporting tool is built right into TallyWeb so that reports are easy to generate, detailed, relevant, and crystal clear.
TradeTec is designing a new tally app designed to run on Android devices, with availability this fall.
SiCam Systems
SiCam Real Time Size Control gives sawmill managers the tools to manage their 'on-size' performance. What is the value of catching a size problem right away and not half-way through a shift or worse yet at the planer mill? Or knowing when a saw blade needs changing? By minimizing size variations, sawmill managers can confidently reduce target sizes and improve lumber recovery to get a respectable increase in the bottom line.
SiCam 3D line lasers measure the profiles of cant faces, side board widths or wane balancing out of the edger. High speed point or line lasers are used on the planer infeed and outfeed.
At a glance, graphic displays show the health of each machine centre and which saws or chippers are on or off size.
SiCam's 'Fence Verification' provides fast results. A high-speed laser measures the board end position after the fence. Whether stacked cylinders or advanced fences, this technology can determine whether or not each paddle, lift gate or roll is working. SiCam has identified an issue within 30 minutes of start up at several installations.
The Milltrack Inventory Management System (IMS) offered by SOFTAC provides a variety of tools specifically for the forest industry.
MillTrack IMS's functionality includes integrated inventory capabilities, as well as a control system, production monitoring, order entry, shipping, and report and analysis.
It is said to be a fast and flexible system for conducting searches, and includes such features as manual package entry, complete tally entry, order entry and shipping, inventory analysis, inventory recap and reconciliation, purchased lot analysis, package de-stacking, lumber value calculation, kiln loading, the ability to export reports to Excel and Adobe, as well as multi-user security.
By incorporating the power of SOFTAC's IMS with the mobility of its Lumber King technology, companies can also track a number of lumber yard activities.
Raptor Integration
Raptor Integration Inc. offers a Web based architecture of its scanning and control system interface that allows for simple client deployment using only a web browser. The web server can reside on the mill floor or in a remote, environmentally friendly server room.
For lumber handling applications, the scanning and sorting configuration resides in a single product, all with a common product database, creating a single unified solution. The days of trouble shooting hand-off issues between multiple computers are over, says the company.
Redundancies in the PLC and software architecture provide a mechanism for data restoration, to get back up and running in record time in the event of a hardware failure or loss of a PLC program.
The system database and PLC code comes with all the necessary hooks to support data gathering by the enterprise and maintenance system of the client's choice.
Raptor's mobile version provides full capability from a remote device and is included as part of Raptor's standard offering.
PMP Solutions
Lumber drying has great impact on mill throughput, product quality and global productivity. However, negative impacts of drying are usually only observed down the line, at the planer mill, if not at customer sites. Two processes and two teams can result in no available solution, even though the problem seems obvious.
There now is a solution thanks to PMP Solutions' GPS tracking technology, when loaders move bundles in the yard.
In addition, PMP Solutions has developed a proprietary software solution that synchronizes all grade and moisture content measurements of every piece graded in the planer mill, and links these results back to the original rough material. This way, errors observed at the planer mill can be associated with sawing or drying operations, and necessary adjustments can be put in place.
To accelerate the adoption of its software in the industry, PMP Solutions has joined with Comact to develop a specialized interface that reports the performance of every production run at the planer mill. This specific interface is now available with every GradExpert implementation. Requiring no configuration, this solution is an entryway to modern and sound data management for the entire production chain.
MiCROTEC's high-speed, inline CT-scanner looks right into the log and recognizes the quality of the final products before the breakdown at 120 metres per minute.
The technological highlights of the company's CT.LOG include complete log and stem description in real time; digital reconstruction of the dimension and quality of the log and virtual cutting; identification of the cutting pattern with the highest value; sorting based on quality, value and optimized cutting pattern; and it comes standard for logs up to 650 mm in diameter and up to 120 metres per minute of conveying speed.
Compared to other technologies CT.LOG is said to allow sawmills to detect large splits inside a log; detect knots, size of knots and how they transpire through the log; and, detect pith and core inside the log, allowing the sawmill to cut out the core from each log.

As of 1st February 2016, landlords now have a legal obligation when letting their property: to ensure their tenants have a 'right to rent'.
What is 'right to rent'?
The government has recently introduced legislation to help make sure that tenants are legally able to rent residential property in England. This means that, before the start of every new tenancy, each individual who will be using the property as their main home will need their documents checked, and records kept, to ensure they have this right.
Landlords can be fined up to £3,000 if they fail to make these checks.
The right to rent check must be carried out in the presence of the tenant, in which time landlords are required to identify the legitimacy of the documents.
How do I know if this applies to me?
The legislation, which is covered under Section 22 of the Immigration Act 2014, is applicable to landlords in England. These checks will only be required if the tenancy started on, or after, the date of the implementation of the scheme; any tenancies that started before that date are exempt.
Not all landlords are required to make these checks; the only people required to do so are:
- Private landlords
- Those who have a lodger
- Those who are sub-letting property
- Agents appointed by private landlords to conduct the right to rent checks
What are the exceptions?
There are several types of tenancy agreements which are exempt from the scheme. These include:
- Accommodation that involves local authorities
- Social housing
- Student accommodation
- Hostels and refuges
- Care homes, hospitals, hospices and continuing healthcare provision
- Mobile homes
- Tied accommodation
- Long leases (of 7 years or more)
For more information on the specifics relating to these tenancy agreements, please refer to section 3.7 of the scheme.
What constitutes an acceptable form of documentation for the right to rent checks?
There are a number of documents that can be presented to the landlord to confirm the tenant's right to rent. These can be presented as a single document, or in combination, to prove that the tenant either has an unlimited or time-limited right to rent.
You can view a full list of applicable documents on the government's 'Right to Rent Document Checks: a User Guide'.
As stated on the UK government's website, 'You can ask any agents that manage or let your property to carry out the check for you. You should have this agreement in writing.'. Selina's Lettings are able to handle all the necessary referencing checks for £16 (ex VAT) per check. If you are a landlord in Gloucestershire who requires this service, please get in touch.

Simply put, it's a place for entertainment. Anything from concerts to hockey, music to comedy, or anything in between. Plus, it's used as a venue for company conferences or banquets of all types. There are six restaurant options too. With more than 19,000 seats on three levels, be sure to reserve any of the 140 private suites. You'll be glad you did.
There are plenty of hotels close to the Canadian Tire Centre. One of the cheapest is Welcominns Hotel Ottawa. Another good choice is the Holiday Inn Ottawa East. The Hampton Inn Ottawa and the Courtyard by Marriott are just a bit more expensive.
When there are big events taking place parking becomes a challenge. Staying near the venue is beneficial so you don't have to worry about where to put your car.
If you're driving in take Palladium Drive North, there's usually less traffic. Use OC Transpo public transportation or pre-purchase a parking space through Capital Tickets. During huge events, make your hotel reservation early.

The Surfrider Foundation is a non-profit grass roots organization that started 25 years ago. It all started when 3 surfers from Malibu were about to lose their favorite wave through development. The Surfrider Foundation was founded through their efforts to preserve something they loved and gave them enjoyment. Their mission thereafter was "The protection and enjoyment of oceans, waves and beaches through a powerful activist network." They feel pretty strongly about their commitment to protecting our beaches and have extended their reach around the world. We at Falling Waters Landscape were fortunate enough to team up with the Surfrider Foundation to design a display at the 2013 Spring San Diego Home Garden Show.
We are are certified contractors for Surfrider's Ocean Friendly Garden program which aims at preventing runoff from entering our oceans, conserving water by planting native and climate appropriate plants, increasing permeability of water back into the soil and by utilizing a variety of water retention methods. The Surfrider foundation realizes that Urban runoff from vehicles, garden chemicals and man made and caused bacteria and sediment is the number one source of ocean pollution. Their noble attempts to educate the public about this issue have brought companies like ours into the mix to be stewards of the program and implement these ideals of conservation into practice for the coastal cities in which we work and live. The Surfrider Foundation has always been at the forefront of protecting our coastlines through a variety of programs and the Ocean Friendly Garden program is yet another in a dedicated effort to protect, conserve and allow everyone to enjoy our beaches and coastlines.

Night mode is an automatic setting which takes advantage of the new wide-angle camera that's in the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro models. It's equipped with a larger sensor that is able to let in more light, allowing for brighter photos when the light is low.

A Closer Look at 'Handoff' and Other New iOS 8/Yosemite 'Continuity' Features
As described by Apple, Handoff can be used for several different activities, including email and web browsing. Users can begin writing an email on an iPhone, for example, and then switch to a Mac to finish. Websites work similarly, allowing users to browse the web on one device, and then continue looking at the same website on another device. While this is already possible via iCloud Tabs, Handoff makes the entire process easier and extends the functionality to other apps.
We believe you should be able to use the right device for the moment. We want the transitions between these moments to be as absolutely natural and seamless as possible.As demoed during the keynote, iOS devices and Macs are "aware" of each other, and can pick up a task when nearby. When composing an email on a Mac, for example, users will see an icon on the screen of their iPad or iPhone that can be tapped to allow them to continue writing on the iOS device. Similarly, an iPhone near a Mac will cause the activity to automatically pop up on the Mac's dock, allowing for a seamless transition between devices.
When you're working on your Mac, your devices around you in proximity are aware of each other and are aware of what you're up to.
Handoff currently works with the following Apple apps: Mail, Safari, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, Maps, Messages, Reminders, Calendar, and Contacts. There's also a Handoff API for developers, which will likely see Handoff capabilities added to a range of different apps.
The enhanced Continuity between OS X and iOS also allows Mac devices in close proximity to an iPhone to both place and receive calls, leveraging Bluetooth and WiFi with the iPhone serving as a relay. Users can answer a call made to their iPhone on their Mac, a useful feature when an iPhone is across the room charging or otherwise inaccessible.
During the keynote, Apple's software chief Craig Federighi used the calling feature to contact new Apple employee Dr. Dre on his Mac, demoing its ability to place calls.
Similarly, iPads and Macs are now able to receive SMS messages from non-Apple devices, a function previously limited to the iPhone. iPads and Macs are also able to utilize an "Instant Hotspot" feature that allows them to connect to an iPhone hotspot with just a click, and AirDrop is also cross-platform.
Currently, Handoff and the other Continuity enhancements are features limited to developers who are using both iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite, but it will be available to the general public in the fall after the official release of the new operating systems.

Yet another feature taken from Android.
False. While you can send texts or make calls from Hangouts, you must do so using a Google Voice number. This utilizes your actual phone thus not requiring someone to have more than one number for you.
Does the iPhone have to actually be paired to the Mac? Meaning that I can't use a Bluetooth speaker and use continuity? Or does Bluetooth just need to be on on both devices?
No pairing, it's almost certainly iBeacon based tied with iCloud.
Yet another feature taken from Android.
Where in the world does Android offer this? Sarcasm?
Really looking forward to seeing more integration between mobile device and desktop OS from Apple and Microsoft. This is the future and unfortunately it looks like Android is going to be left out of the party.
Really can't wait to try this feature out, I'm sure this will make some more Android users switch too.
I hope this doesn't get all crazy confusing when you got your friend over or a are living with other people and their devices. The last thing I want to see is a bunch of little things popping on the corner when it's not my device.
It's gotta be tied to iCloud. Unless your computer has their Apple ID on it I don't think it'll be an issue.
One generation newer than what you own.
So this "handoff" concept is the reason Apple has been destroying professional quality applications and dumbing them down with new versions sans most of their features so that they could run the minmalist iOS version instead and thus be able to "handoff" the app between the two?
While in principle, it sounds neat to be able to do such a thing, it's a shame that it has to be at the expense of the software's capabilities on the Mac. I guess if they move to ARM, it won't really matter anymore since the iPad (in a clam shell or whatever form instead) will BE your "Mac" from then on. Welcome to the dumbing down of the computer, the Internet and the population that uses it. I couldn't help but notice how messages pretty much chooses your words for you now. At some point, it will just go ahead and reply FOR you and make the decisions as well using artificial intelligence, freeing you up to stare at more commercials (which are currently at a 20 minutes of commercials for a 60 minute program ratio or a 3 hour for a 2 hour movie despite the fact that hardly anyone watches them (skip them with the DVR or get your stuff from iTunes or wherever and don't even have to skip them).
Heck, I remember the days when we had really high tech phones. Those phones actually allowed you to use VOICE CALLS where you could talk hands free and not have to use your thumbs to type fractured sentences or stare at a screen that could get your killed while driving. Somewhere along the line, phones got DUMBER and required "texting" instead of talking. Imagine that. Slower productivity and more danger for what? ZERO benefit. Frankly, people don't need to know what you're doing at work. Obviously, you're not working if your texting and if you weren't texting, you should be WORKING. I wouldn't be shocked if companies started an automatic zero tolerance FIRING policy if they catch you texting on company time. I would. I'm not paying you to chat with your friends. IT CAN WAIT.

In the following three minute films, students capture amazing true stories from, and about, the adults in their lives. Humor, pain and human endurance color these stories that describe the various, unpredictable journeys of life. Watch and, we promise, you will laugh, cry, wince, or say "awwww."
This semester-long project has been a collaboration of students' multimedia and English classes. This project began with each student conducting one 45-minute interview with an adult whom they admired or about whom they wanted to know more. Then, as part of the story building process, each student transcribed their own 45-minute interview. Using their own transcription as a guide, students then edited their sound work into a seven minute story. Lastly, and after many rounds of critiques, each seven minute story became a beautiful and concise three minute piece. Through this process, students learned to carefully find and craft a meaningful story. The classes nominated their final 10 selections (out of 25 total) for cinematic production. An archive of all their sound narratives is here.
Next, students moved into visual production through an extensive film practicum program with UCSD's ArtPower! program. ArtPower! recognizes that creative learners make creative teachers, and teaching and learning go both ways. In spring 2012, ArtPower! Film, Sixth College, and the Department of Visual Arts, along with our 12th grade students at High Tech High Media Arts, embarked on a ten-week creative mentorship program where UCSD students collaborated with and mentored our 12th grade students in order to produce these very special short films. This project was also facilitated by UCSD's Visual Arts Department faculty member Michael Trigilio, ArtPower!'s Curator Rebecca Webb and Associate Director for the Practicum, Diane A. Forbes Berthoud.
These final films culminate into the following ten projects and were shown at the 5th Annual Artpower! Student Film Festival at The Loft on UCSD's campus during the spring of 2012.
We hope you enjoy their work.

High School Sports
Football: Stratford at Lexington
Site: WildCat Stadium. Time: 7:30 p.m.
Stratford notes: The Knights, who have complied an impressive 233-92 all-time record all under coach Ray Stackley, suffered through their worst regular-season showing (3-8) in 13 years. And with newly opened Cane Bay cutting into the talent base, Stratford's status as Lowcountry's alternative to Summerville domination may be at an end … Tyler McDonald is the Knights' primary offensive weapon. The senior quarterback leads the team in rushing and passing … Stratford eliminated Wando from the playoff cut by beating the Warriors 31-15 last week to end the regular season on a positive note … Stratford is 22-22 in the playoffs.
Lexington notes: A year ago in Allen Sitterle's first year at the helm, the Wildcats were probably just thrilled to have made the state playoff cut. This season, one and done is not acceptable … Lexington (8-3) tuned up for the Class 4A Division I tournament by whipping district rival White Knoll 40-0 in a game of fair historical significance. It was the 500th win in school history dating back to 1924. It was also the fifth straight win without incident at the school's new on-campus stadium … Anthony Carden hit the 1,500-yard rushing mark last week and has 21 touchdowns on the books after gaining 113 yards and scoring three TDs in the rout of the Timberwolves … The playoffs have not been fun for the Wildcats through the years, as their 12-29 postseason record since 1970 attests.
Series history: Friday's Division I opener marks the fifth playoff meeting of the teams, who have never played during the regular season. The Knights have a 3-1 edge in the series. The lone Lexington success was a 28-14 first-round win in 1997.

Our Trust Programs
We offer 4 different programs that suit a variety of financial situations. Beneficiaries may even have several accounts funded from different sources.
Programs #1, #2, and #3 are pooled for investment purposes and each beneficiary's sub accounts have their own financial record and are used for that beneficiary's sole benefit.
We are happy to discuss in more detail with you the varying options available. It is recommended that you consult your attorney for specific legal counsel including review of any program you are interested in.
Trust Program #1, our original pooled program created in 1993, allows client's chosen attorney to draft the trust to suit an individual's special needs. This program includes a self-settled trust or a 3rd-party trust. This program retains the option for the family to choose the investment approach and financial institution, as well as limiting or expanding types of purchases the trust can make.
Trust Program #2, is our Special Needs Pooled Trust created in 2004, funded with the beneficiary's own assets. Similar to Program #1 in purpose and purchases permitted, the beneficiary is not required to retain an attorney to draft a trust document. They simply sign a joinder agreement to join our already existing Pooled Trust. This program has a Medicaid pay back provision as required by law for self-settled trusts. Passumpsic Financial Advisors is the trustee of this program and ELO is the trust manager.
Trust Program #3, is our Third Party Special Needs Pooled Trust created in 2010. It is funded by people other than the person with disabilities, often a parent, relative or friend. Similar to Program #1 and #2 in purpose and purchases permitted, this program does not require that an attorney be retained to create the trust. Program #3, like Program #2, allows the grantor/funder to simply sign a Joinder agreement which is under our established Pooled Trust. Unlike Program #2, this is not a Medicaid pay back trust, because it is funded with money from someone other than the beneficiary with disabilities. Charter Trust Company is the trustee of this program and ELO is the trust manager.
Trust program #4, is our Medicare Set-Aside Trust created in 2010. It is funded from certain personal injury settlements. The Medicare Set-Aside monies are used to pay for medical bills related to the injury itself.

Jambora which lists down some very remarkable running feats by 15 CEOs which include familiar names like Fernando Zobel de Ayala (COO, vice chair and president of Ayala Corp.), Wilfred "Fred" Uytengsu (President and CEO, Alaska Milk Corp.), David Charlton (CEO, David's Salon Inc.), Camilla Brooks (General manager, Crown Worldwide Group), Jaymie Pizarro (Publisher/owner, The Bull Runner magazine), Jonel Mendoza (EIC/publisher/owner, Frontrunner magazine), and takbo.ph's very own head honcho Jinoe Gavan (President, Leadpack Inc.).
I'd like to say that these people are truly admirable as they proved to us that there's really no excuse if we really want to get things done. CEOs can find time, and maybe if we can do the same we'd be CEOs in our own careers. Keep it up running CEO idols!

SUBJECT/S: Liberal leadership; Newspoll
MICHELLE ROWLAND, SHADOW MINISTER FOR CITIZENSHIP AND MULTICULTURALISM AND SHADOW ASSISTANT MINISTER FOR COMMUNICATIONS: Happy New Year, everyone. Today the vote that happens in the Liberal party room is actually quite irrelevant in terms of who it elects leader today or tomorrow. The reality is that it's the unfair policies of this Government that have turned Australians off this Government completely. Their refusal to even acknowledge the unfairness of their Budget. And while all these shenanigans are going on, we have a government that has simply stopped governing. We have a situation where the most brilliant young scientist in Australia has turned down the most prestigious scholarship that can be awarded because in her words, there is no future for science in Australia.
No future for her with the current policies concerning higher education or funding for science. We have unemployment going up and up under this Government, the promise of a million jobs being created simply not being able to be met. We have broadband in this country, an absolute laughing stock compared with the rest of the world where we have continued to drop behind in the latest broadband rankings. We are even behind many of the countries in Eastern Europe. And we also have young people who have gone to enrol in TAFE to find that their TAFE fees have, in some cases, tripled. This is not a government about growth. Their Budget was not about growth, their Budget was not about innovation and the future. These are inward looking people, and irrespective of what happens in that party room, this is a government - and all of its members, all of its ministry and all of its backbenchers, committed to their Budget of unfairness and taking Australia backwards.
JOURNALIST: You must be quite pleased with today's Newspoll, Labor's 14 point lead over the Government?
ROWLAND: I think when you look at these polls, as a person in Opposition, and as someone who has always put her electorate first, the reality is that you only have to listen to people who are talking to you to know that this Government is on the nose. So I don't need any polls to tell me what people think about this Government. People on the street tell me all the time. This is a government of unfairness, this is a government of arrogance. Let's remember this is a government that is barely over one calendar year old that came in with a massive majority whose members are on massive margins, and it's been their arrogance, their hubris that has taken them to this point.
JOURNALIST: What's the mood on the Labor front bench, are they hoping the motion will fail?
ROWLAND: I think the mood on the front bench, from the colleagues I've spoken to, is that we need to remain focused on the policies of this Government and us as the alternative government. We are the only side of this Parliament at the moment that is actually devising policy and thinking about, listening to people, about what's good for Australia. We are the only people in this Parliament doing that.
PETER HELLIAR: Is this spill making you guys feel a little nostalgic?
ROWLAND: Not at all, I think we learnt our lesson Peter from the events over the last Parliament and we took action on it. We actually changed our rules so that it can't happen again. The reality also is that this didn't happen twenty years ago, this happened in the very recent past. Australians have made it clear, as Tony Abbott told us when he was Opposition Leader, that Australians were sick and tired of this kind of circus. And now they have brought the circus back to town, and they're talking about 'oh we want to take people with us'. People have jumped on another bus – they're at the other end of the city. No one is being taken with these people. So I think for this Government to say they're turning over a new start, I wonder if Tony Abbott is going to come out and say it's "Back to Work Monday" before he realises most people just call it "Monday". I think this is a government that is simply displaying its arrogance and inward looking nature.
PETER HELLIER: Thank you.
ROWLAND: Pleasure.

LA JOLLA -- Scientists have determined a three-dimensional (3-D) molecular image of how anthrax toxin enters human cells, giving scientists more potential targets for blocking the toxin, the lethal part of anthrax bacteria. The finding also points to a possible way to design anthrax toxin molecules that selectively attack tumor cells, as described in the journal Nature published
"This elegant work provides important new leads for the development of novel antitoxins to protect people from anthrax, a dangerous and serious bioterror threat," says NIAID Director Anthony S. Fauci, MD. "It also leads us closer to therapies that could save lives late in the disease when large amounts of toxin are present and antibiotics are less effective."
Using an intense X-ray beam to determine the position of atoms in a crystal form of the protein complex, a scientific team mapped the 3-D structure of one of the anthrax toxin's proteins docked to a human anthrax toxin receptor. Anthrax toxin uses a protein known as protective antigen to gain entry into human or animal cells. The protective antigen protein can bind either of two different cell receptors: CMG2 and TEM8. In this study, scientists solved the puzzle of the molecular structure of the protective antigen protein and CMG2 bound together.
Previously, different groups of scientists in separate studies had determined the 3-D structures of the anthrax protective antigen protein and the CMG2 receptor but only when unbound from each other. The structure of the protective antigen protein-CMG2 receptor complex offers a more precise, finely detailed snapshot of a crucial step in the intricate molecular choreography that ushers anthrax toxin into cells. This detailed, 3-D image provides researchers clearer targets for shutting down this process. For researchers working on anthrax antitoxins, the new 3-D image is like having a roadmap that connects two cities rather than having only separate maps of the two cities.
The newly revealed structure also points to a potential new tumor treatment using a genetically modified anthrax toxin, Liddington says. The TEM8 cell receptor is commonly found in cells lining the blood vessels of tumors. Although the structure of the TEM8 receptor has not been determined, scientists expect it to be similar to that of the CMG2 receptor. "Computer modeling could enable us to design a version of the anthrax toxin that binds only to TEM8 and not to CMG2," he notes. Such a toxin would kill tumor cells while leaving ordinary cells unharmed.

Searching for the grave of Captain Francis Light in Panang Malaysia
I know the name of Captain Francis Light is not one well know to most of this world, but he was the British Captain that was the founder of a new British colony,Malaysia. He and his crew landed on the Island of Panang. He leased the island of Panang from the Sultan of Kadeh on his arrival to the Island in 1786. He was master of several languages including Malay which helped in his development of the island and it's capital George Town (named for King George). There is a story about when he arrived the native Malay people brought him a meal. He asked what it was? The reply was "Curry Kapitan".. It was simple chicken dish that to this day is a great favorite in Panang area. When I was in Malaysia with my friends Herman and Jeffery and his wife. We made a trip to Panang and traveled to Ft. Cornwallis. The fort was originally founded by Light and named after the general who had so recently surrendered to George Washington. I guess it was good to name something for him as his spirits were not too high after loosing and surrendering to Washington and the French and therefore basically loosing the North American colonies. After bounding around in the fort and spending a bit of time hiding from very severe thunder and lighting storm, we went to find the grave of Captain Light. It was not very easy to do but through our hard work and marching through an area that the jungle was trying hard to recapture we found the grave of the founder of Panang. He died of malaria on Oct 25, 1794 and was buried with high honors in the Protestant cemetery on Northham Rd. However it is now called Jalan Amhad Shah in Georgetown. So I thought I would write about a rather forgotten part of Malaysian history. Panang as you may know is called the "Pearl of the Orient" and when you go there you will see why. Of course if you do go there....have some Curry Kapitan in honor of Capt. Light

Chair 3/4 is a designed object from Georgia-based product designer, Sandro Lominashvil. Using the square sectioned steel tubes to create a wrenched-like chair.
By the disjointed leg, the seat seam to be floated. At first sight, it might look unstable due to the disconnected outline, but it is not. The well-balanced structure gives the strength and comfort while seated.
"Like with almost any other project, the idea for the chair came during sketching. With this project, my intention was to break existing rules and standards." Said Sandro.
Chair 3/4 was presented in the Designjunction of Ventura London during London Design Festival as well as in the Ventura Project of Milan Design Week 2015.

The spirit of rebellion peaks between 22 and 24 March, thanks to the Mars-Uranus link. A 'f**k-you-I'll-work-when-I'm-dead' attitude liberates you from the Orwellian social engineering championed by bureaucratic zombies and Labor Party drones. Channel your inner-warrior and fight for your right to party. You win a few fans under the Venus-Mars transit, but then who can resist a protesting ram in a feathered war bonnet?

A 'f**k-you-I'll-work-when-I'm-dead' attitude liberates you from the Orwellian social engineering championed by bureaucratic zombies and Labor Party drones. Channel your inner-warrior and fight for your right to party. You win a few fans under the Venus-Mars transit, but then who can resist a protesting ram in a feathered war bonnet?
Aries sports personality: Maria Sharapova (tennis)
Separating yourself from restrictive individuals or situations between 28 and 29 March helps you reconnect with your individuality. Dare to be yourself for a change, and grow those Lemmy-style sideburns you've always wanted. Mercury ensures that you make new connections on Facebook, as your curiosity about certain imaginary peeps with super-cool profile pics gets the better of you. You stop making sense until 16 March. Be patient and wait for Mercury to move forward mid-month before you open your trap and make a dick of yourself.
Taurus sports personality: Dennis Rodman (basketball)
Your productivity will be less than zero under Mercury's retrograde motion until 16 March. Avoid zine-making and other forms of DIY until the middle of the month, when you'll be in a better place mentally and cosmically to forge ahead with your disturbing but groundbreaking ideas. Others look to you for direction during the Mars-Uranus transit on 12 March. You lead the way in zine community-related activities involving a port-a-loo or a falafel stand or some such demountable.
Gemini sports personality: Anthony Mundine (boxing)
Mars revs up your adventure sector until 12 March. Be brave and explore destinations where Western-style toilets are two kingdoms away. Mercury's influence emphasises the learning process, so get use to wiping your butt with your left hand. A crisis of meaning has you questioning your empty but ridiculously hip lifestyle. You review your belief system around 16 March, after your current guru has touched you inappropriately with his left hand.
Cancer sports personality: Zinedine Zidane (soccer)
You'll need large doses of freedom to release you from the deadening routine of your office job between 28 and 30 March. Paperwork, paperclips, and your Microsoft Outlook inbox can go to hell, as you free that noose from your neck and leap into the lap of thrills 'n' spills. Buck convention buck naked. Try to avoid caving into pressure on 22 March by stripping at a bus stop or outside a church. A trine to your Sun from Venus and Mars makes you ultra-popular this month, thanks to your various nude performances around town.
Leo sports personality: Roger Federer (tennis)
The New Moon on 12 March signals the beginning of a significant relationship. With a Stellium of six planets in the dreamy and spiritual sign of Pisces, your romantic zone will demand most of your attention and energy this month. Focus on feelings. Is your partner meeting your emotional needs, or are they just an accessory you wear on your arm like a henna tattoo? Mars demands that you take charge of your love life. Your ruling planet, Mercury, retrogrades until 16 March. Second chances with someone finer than your current crush are ideal now.
Virgo sports personality: Lance Armstrong (cycling)
The Full Moon in your sign on 27 March highlights the Importance of Being Reasonable. Apart from looking sensational, Libra prioritises justice and harmony, and asks that we give peace a chance. The Venus-Uranus link between 28 and 29 March signals a temporary break from significant relationships. Expect a turning point in romantic direction around 12 March. You'll be demanding authenticity in your love life with plenty of spice thrown in.
Libra sports personality: Ian Thorpe (swimming)
March is the beginning of a new creative cycle for Scorpio. Mercury retrogrades in your arty sphere until 16 March, so review your dodgy DIY output then. You get in touch with a more deeply creative and expressive part of yourself mid month. This period produces a zine titled Getting in Touch with a More Deeply Creative and Expressive Part of Myself, which, as zine titles go, is up there with I'm Sorry I Sold Your Stuff on eBay. Kind of. Kind of.
Scorpio sports personality: Mitchell Johnson (cricket)
Johnny Depp once said that he tries to stay in a constant state of confusion because of the expression it leaves on his face. Sagittarius, you will be adopting this philosophy until 16 March for reasons which are too confusing to explain. DIY planet, Mars, enters your domestic sector until 12 March, so spend time zine-making in the comfort of your cardboard container. Be mindful of the Mercury retrograde motion during the first two weeks; you'll be stop-starting projects. Expect a creative shift mid month, but don't over think the process like a Cancerian - just do it like a Sagittarian.
Sagittarius sports personality: Ricky Ponting (cricket)
Mars and the Sun align with Uranus between 22 to 24 March, and then on 28 to 30 March in your home environment. These are peak periods where others see your domestic choices as unorthodox, especially your attempt to cook a lamb roast in the dishwasher. A cluster of planets in your communication house on 12 March has you mumbling like Beaker from The Muppets, which is an improvement in self expression.
Capricorn sports personality: Tiger Woods (golf)
Mars makes his once-every-two-year visit through your wealth sector until 12 March. This transit helps you master new income options like growing indoor hydroponics, and mastering Spanish 21. The actions you take now help establish a two-year financial improvement plan. This transit comes with a cautionary period that expires on 16 March. Avoid your usual practise of stuffing packets of Maggi Noddles down your trousers when shoplifting at Franklins.
Aquarius sports personality: Kathy Freeman (sprinting)
It will be a super-charged New Moon in Pisces on 12 March. The Sun and Moon,
Neptune, Mercury, Venus, and Mars occupy your first house of self-image. Cut out the iced finger buns for an instant slim down. Mercury aligns with Pluto, suggesting that the truth be uncovered as to how cloying a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup is, and do calories count if the damn thing sticks to the roof of your mouth? Mars boosts courage until 12 March. Be strong and eliminate horse meat from your diet. Mars and Uranus align in your money sector between 22 and 24 March. There'll be a breakthrough concerning money that requires a break and enter job.
Pisces sports personality: Lleyton Hewitt (tennis)

At its most basic, a security system has two components, the initiation points and the control aspect. The initiation points are varied – door and window switches, motion detectors, glass break detectors, smoke and heat detectors, carbon monoxide detectors and many more. In short, anything that can initiate an alarm condition. The control aspect decides what to do when an initiation signal is received; sound the siren, contact the central monitoring station and perhaps send you and email about the activation. The control aspect also includes and an interface device such as a keypad to arm and disarm the system. Since we started installing alarm systems in 1992, both have changed dramatically.
How your alarm system receives those signals makes your alarm wireless or hard wired. In 1992, if at all possible, you would run a wire to a device and install a hard wired system. Back then the devices used alkaline batteries that didn't last very long. Today lithium batteries are used giving up to 5 years of life expectancy. The wireless capabilities also were not as good and the security encryption was nothing like it is today. Today, most alarm systems installed are at least partially wireless.
If the control panel is the heart of the alarm system, the points of protection are the extremities. Start with protecting the vulnerable openings, the windows and doors. If they are opened while the alarm is armed, you want the system to go off. You should also consider glass break detectors in the event someone smashes glass to break in. Next you should have motion detectors to detect an intruder in case they get in via an unprotected area. Those are the basics of burglar detection but your alarm system can be so much more.
Smoke Detectors and Carbon Monoxide detectors alert you and the authorities if there is a life safety risk. If you already have them you should still consider adding them to the system for the reporting capabilities and as a back up.
Other devices can be added as well. Water sensor detectors can alert you if the washing machine hoses burst, your sump pump stops working, or if your basement floods. Temperature sensors can alert you if the internal temperature of the house drops below a certain point. This is especially useful if you leave your home unattended for prolonged periods of time during the winter.
And now, with new technology, you can easily adjust the temperature on your thermostat using your alarm system and a smart phone or computer.
If your are thinking about having an alarm system installed or adding any devices to your existing system, please contact us.
