Smell the roses.
I'm currently loving this Recollections paper called Timeless, and my 8" by 3" card bases. After all, I am trying to use up my stash of pre-folded cards.
The first layer was cut at 7.75" by 2.75", and the second 6.75" by 1.75". I wanted to show more of the bottom layer on this one. I inked all the edges of my layers with Tim Holtz Distressed Ink, Tea Dye.
The flowers are from the Art Philosophy cartridge, (page 69, Font Shift) cut at 3" and 2.5". Its the first time I have actually got round to using this particular flower and I'm really pleased how they turned out. I added a small pearl dot in the centre of each flower, and I have used glimmer mist on the flowers but it doesn't show up in the photo.
The leaves are also from the Art Philosophy cartridge (page 43, Branch 1) cut at 3" length. I embossed the leaves with a stylus to make them look a little more realistic.
The sentiment is from the CTMH stamp set that came with the Art Philosophy cartridge. The layers for the sentiment were cut at 3.25" by 1.25" and 3" by 1" and I popped this up using foam dots.
A little bow to finish off the card and I promise to have something a little more exciting next time :-)
This card is being entered in the following challenges.

EuroGamer - My hero, it transpires, is a man named Grubby.
Grubby's inferior human name is Manuel Schenkhuizen, and he hails from the Netherlands. He's mild-mannered and pleasant, as far as I can gather, and he's atypically good at StarCraft 2. He's a genius at it, a real pro. He's not as atypically good as some of the other pros gathered in Versailles for the European leg of Heart of the Swarm's Global Launch event, though. The pre-match chatter suggests that Grubby's not going to win tonight's competition. It's a four man affair composed of two semi-finals (each built of three games each), which are capped with a tense three-game decider. Grubby's good, but he's going out in the first round.

First Things First
Transfering Grants from Another Institution
Faculty who are transferring to U of T Mississauga from another institution may have existing research grants, contracts or other awards which will need to be transferred to the University of Toronto. The procedures for transferring grants between institutions vary depending on the policies of the research sponsor, so faculty looking to transfer a grant(s) should contact the U of T Mississauga Research Office for specific advice on the necessary administrative procedures. Transferring grants between institutions can be a complex process, and can take many months, so it is wise to begin this process as soon as possible.

Kids Team Profile: Cheryl Kerwin
Today's kids book team guest post is a Q&A with Cheryl Kerwin Sr. Marketing Manager.
Where are you from originally and what brought you to Tyndale?
I grew up in the central valley of California near Fresno, CA. It's known as the fruit basket of the world because of all the farm produce grown and harvested there. It was the perfect place to live because you weren't too far from the Sierra Nevada mountains and the beach. I moved to the Chicago area on January 3rd from Pismo Beach, CA. I ask myself often…"Am I crazy? I moved here from the beach?"
When you were a young child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to be a teacher, I played school all the time at home with my younger siblings as students, and of course being a bossy older sister they didn't get very many "A's". I never made it to teaching because I started working at a large Christian bookstore and loved it so I stayed. I've been in the bookstore industry ever since and that was 1985!
What was your first paid job?
Working in the fields for my grandfather and dad. Because we had a large family they figured they had the perfect field crew during the raisin harvest. I worked in the fields and packing sheds until I started in the bookstore.
What do you like most about your job at Tyndale?
I love working for a company that sticks to its mission, is fiscally responsible and has a focused vision of ministering to the spiritual needs of people. It's an honor to work here.
Working alongside an author is probably what I like most. We get to work with some amazing writers, ministers and storytellers.
What is your favorite Tyndale Kids product and why?
One of my favorite Tyndale products is a repackaged version of Big Thoughts for Little People by Tyndale's founder, Ken Taylor. This title has been around since 1983 and continues to sell. All of the illustrations completely illustrate what Dr. Taylor is trying to teach kids and parents about values, character traits and the alphabet. I could look at the illustrations for hours and not see the same thing twice.
What is your favorite Christmas tradition?
I am almost embarrassed to say what my favorite Christmas tradition is because now-a-days wearing a Christmas sweater in public is mostly a joke. Since 1985 I have been collecting Christmas sweaters and wearing them from the weekend after Thanksgiving until Christmas day, sometimes without repeating. When I first started wearing them so many people complimented them and that drove me to buy more, I bought at least one sweater a year for many years. When I worked retail, customers used to come in just to see what sweater I was wearing that day, it brought the customers and me a lot of joy. Flash ahead to current day – now-a-days because of the "ugly Christmas sweater" movement, my co-workers have to convince me to bring my sweaters out of storage to wear during the season. This year I had made the decision to abandon my almost 30 year tradition but after much convincing by my friends I pulled them back out of storage once again to wear proudly. I have to admit as funny as it sounds these sweaters are like old friends who are visiting for the season.

Riverton Real Estate (2018) LTD MREINZ
Riverton, fondly referred to as the "Riviera of the South", is considered by many to be Southland's No 1 seaside resort. Located 38km from Invercargill, Riverton is one of the oldest European settlements in the country. The early whalers sought shelter from the turbulent Southern seas as the bay was known as a safe haven. Why do people live and visit here? 1. Enjoy being close to nature with beautiful, clean, safe swimming beaches, bush walks, and awesome skies. 2. Quiet pace of life yet in close proximity to Colac Bay, Fiordland National Park, Stewart Island, ski fields and city of Invercargill. 3. Great education facilities, doctor and ambulance service. 4. A range of sporting facilities - excellent surfing spots, golf course, heated pool and race track. 5. Art center, cafes, fishing.

I have been using a fixed pressure (7) Resmed S9 for the past six years. I am heading over the states (from Australia) next week and want to buy an AirSense 10 AutoSet.
I "think" I might like the extra choice of the algorithm for her, but I read somewhere about an update to the firmware on the non specific gender model which adds that algorithm. Is this correct? I greatly prefer the looks of the black unit, but don't like paying the same $$ for less. Any advice is appreciated.

Amgueddfa Genedlaethol Caerdydd - National Museum Cardiff& Chapter, Canton, CardiffRuns to 26 February 2017
With the prize being staged in Wales, with a Welsh artist on the shortlist and that being, Bedwyr (he wins everything) Williams, to boot, you're thinking it, I'm thinking it, everyone's thinking it... shoe in.
Artes Mundi, however, isn't a product of self-congratulatory Cymraeg pandering. A celebration of contemporary art, it genuinely considers art from every continent, this year from an open submission nomination pool of over 700 different artists.
The biennial contemporary art prize exhibition features all six shortlisted artists: John Akomfrah (Ghanaian-British); Bedwyr Williams (Welsh); Neïl Beloufa (French-Algerian); Amy Franceschini and Futurefarmers (US); Lamia Joreige (Lebanon); and Nástio Mosquito (Angola/Belgium).
Three selectors, different people each time choose the shortlist and the winner. This is no academy anointing their own. Artes Mundi, with Victorian plant-collecting vigour, gathers exotic plants. If a seed of introduction falls in the fertile soil of the selectors it may well grow, but in the crowded undergrowth it may well falter. It's no surprise that the resulting exhibition and prize always contain something you'll never have seen before.
The exhibition is held at two Cardiff venues: the Contemporary Galleries at Amgueddfa Genedlaethol - National Museum; & Chapter Canton.
I was lucky enough to attend the Artes Mundi conference at the Reardon Smith Theatre, which is worth going to any event here as the Lecture Theatre is so well designed, every seat feels close to the stage, you can hear well, the seats are largely comfortable, and the interior styling transports you to the era of Dead Poet's Society. Each artist was given stage time, followed by a panel discussion where they were joined by Rachel McKinnon and two of the three selectors. This gave a further opportunity to understand each artist's practice and hear from the artists directly.
Bedwyr commanded the lectern and gave us his Reverend Williams, by way of the perfect observation of domestic society and angry ranting of Rhod Gilbert. He took a pulpit Rickey Gervais-like stance and managed to be more likeable and on occasion somewhat funnier than he.
The stand up performance piece was like a brilliant turn by the intelligent sixth former at the leaving assembly: we knew the references; we heard the parody of an Eisteddfod trained recitation rhythm; we cringed at knowing criticisms; and laughed. "Performance artists beat you before they start by eating a vine leaf or some other 'look at me' food and proffer one with an oily hand."; "I noticed the board under their kitchen surface had fallen, revealing a paper plate and discarded party popper, I considered crawling in and living there, these people would probably pay me."
His work in the bar at Chapter works well, making the café users a live tableau against his dark dystopia. Bedwyr Williams' Tyrrau Mawr/Big Towers in the museum shows the same scene in 4k, Cadair Idris in a modified landscape rendered like scenic matte painting to become a modern city, I see hints of iconic towers of the modern East and international art galleries. Bedwyr's narration here is just that, in contrast to his performance voice it lends itself to listening as if you are reading it yourself. The story of the banal lives of the inhabitants would be just that, aside from his choice of characterisations and juxtapositions, dripping with knowing wit.
This is one of the two most visually rich of the work presented. The scene including the water rippling and steam rising, city lights and the dawn rising and the quality and size of the image, probably best viewed recumbent on one of the huge white bean bags provided, is quite overwhelming. This won the Derek Williams prize, and the work will be purchased and entrusted to the National Museum of Wales to take care of. It is a great addition and I think will be popular with visitors for years to come, I wonder what influence it may have on future artists, maybe a step towards digital art becoming more mainstream as part of an artist's choice of media.
Nástio Mosquito chose to greet us in the dark. He sang a cappella with a bold, clear voice. He shouted and exclaimed 'Depression needs me.' 'x needs me' 'y needs me' and gained our narked attention. It was a performance piece, but the context was not shared with us. His gallery piece in Chapter feels similar. There are messages, but without a clear context it's hard to distil any real meaning or feel anything. Like a stack of road signs in the factory waiting to be installed; yes I agree with your message but who is it to and why? His work for Chapter's lightbox could literally do with more illumination, a brain, and an advert for his suppositories that list special properties rather like a snake oil advert in the Wild West. The boxes of these in his gallery piece can be taken away by visitors. Scattered on the floor in their red boxes they did bring to mind discarded life jackets of refugees. It's hard for me to read his work, it's always talking loudly so you feel it must be powerful, but at once it seems both glib and sincere. Note: Nástio Mosquito: Transitory Suppository: Act ♯III Light.Boxed runs at Chapter to Sunday, 5 March 2017
Lamia Joreige's work was about living with conflict. She lives in Beirut and examines the affect of Lebanese wars over the... I couldn't help but realise, forty or-so years of my lifetime. She makes films that are close to documentary with a very observational rather than didactic tone. She makes choices in what she shows but it seems like a huge collective diary rather than news or documentary. It's a collective of the human experience of the conflict, making it easy to relate to the experience and at the same time, because of the vast collective information, you feel the abstract absurdity of human suffering being meted out for so long.
I found Joreige's work both gentle and powerful and Lamia herself very sane and comforting in person. The exhibits are film projections and objects, such as a book and a list displayed of all the museum artefacts lost in the conflict. The image of works that the curators had hidden in concrete I found very moving, that people who value culture took steps to protect this as their lives were in danger. A concrete sculpture is actually a cast of a 3D scanned image of the hole in the wall made in the museum, through an historic mosaic. Lamia has made images through the hole and shared them with us, so we can see what the sniper saw, and to live that vicariously.
Neïl Beloufa's work fills the exhibition space with curiosity. Children particularly responded to his work. His explanation of his practice and work was chaotic and showed a very lively brain trapped in a man who needs art to fully articulate his ideas. It was obvious that being spontaneous and creative in his art making is important to him. He creates and accepts opportunities and parameters and then interacts with them. His sculptural works have film projections and moving parts within them and use sensors to react to the viewer, so you really become part of the piece.
Future Farmers, the farming collective founded by Amy Franceschini, feel that heritage seeds once gathered and stored are of no real use and should be shared and planted to ensure their continued development and contribution to the world. I couldn't agree more. Their gallery offering somewhat undersold their endeavours and I feel that theirs is art by practice, a performance an experience that has become a way of life. The art is communicated by action and hardly at all by objects.
Beautifully crafted ovens, seed careers, the seed lifeboat are all incidental to the doing. The gallery display is like seeing artefacts as an anthropologist, not like viewing an installation or a documentation of a performance piece. It seems to me that what they do did not fit into the exhibition part of Artes Mundi.
John Akomfrah won the seventh biennial Artes Mundi prize, for which he received £40,000. The artist, director, writer and theorist has been highlighting the legacy of African diaspora in Europe by creating films that explore marginalised histories of European society.
His talk at the conference was beautifully delivered, I would happily pay to hear him lecture on film, a medium he obviously loves and studies himself. In fact I suspect the language of film, cutting, lighting, the rhythm of movement is second nature to him now.
His works included the two channel video projection Auto De Fé, which is ostensibly intended to use the aesthetics of period drama. However, it was lit - and the players dressed - like an interior by Vermeer. A beautiful, powerful and interesting work that should be seen after visiting the Art in the Netherlands gallery; conveniently on site.
The wonderful live guides that Artes Mundi offer and the narrative on the walls help hugely in gaining information and insight into what the artist is trying to communicate and where their practice fits in to contemporary practice. But I am a believer in viewer experience and that art should communicate largely on its own terms. However it's great that the option to be informed and feel confident to view art - for people who feel they need to be initiated to join in at all - is offered.
Artes Mundi run a wide range of events alongside the exhibition and still to come is their final Family Workshop in February half-term 18th to 26th with three starting times each day; free but booking required. I'd urge anyone to go and view this exhibition and enjoy it for themselves.
The biennial contemporary art prize and exhibition is on show until 26 February, featuring all six shortlisted artists, admission is free.
Artes Mundi returns to Cardiff in 2018.

Rev. Dr. Eddie Cruz
American Baptist Home Mission Societies
Work Phone: 800.222.3872, x2423
The Rev. Dr. Eddie Cruz has always been what he refers to as a "social and religious entrepreneur." The "social" part is innate. The "religious" part came later.
"No matter how successful you think you are, if you are not successful in relationships, you aren't successful," he says.
His talent for relationship building has been evident throughout his career in ministry and community outreach. As director of American Baptist Home Mission Societies' (ABHMS) Mission Advancement and Passionary Movement, he has set goals that will use this gift.
"My goal is to design a comprehensive strategy to utilize people's talents for the glory of Jesus Christ, to promote a culture of generosity and to make a transformational difference in people's lives," he says.
Since accepting Jesus Christ in 1972, Cruz has focused his ministry on making a difference in people's lives and communities. As a pastor, community activist and leader of social justice organizations, Cruz says he has tried to follow Christ's lead.
"Jesus Christ was invested in people," he says. "He was always with people doing ministry."
Cruz says he asks God for creativity to think outside the box, and Cruz's ability to do just that has not gone unnoticed. He was asked by Mayor Richard M. Daley of Chicago to appear in a public service announcement relating to the city's community activism and invited twice by the White House during the George W. Bush administration to participate in a national immigration think tank. While serving as a unit director of the Boys and Girls Club in Chicago, he worked closely with community leaders and Metro Chicago Interfaith Coalition to foment a synergy of education, peace and justice.
Born and raised in Chicago, Cruz is well acquainted with that city's mean streets. While at his home church—North Shore Spanish Baptist Church—he was in the choir, served as a Sunday school teacher and preached at many local churches, where he met and was inspired by the words of the Rev. Modesto Lopez, a man who, to this day, remains one of Cruz's heroes.
"It was a transformational moment in my life, and I made the decision to become a Jesus-follower," Cruz says. "It was a life changing experience that impacted my whole family, who eventually met and accepted Christ as well."
Blessed with the gift of leadership as a youth, Cruz was voted president of the Tri-State (Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana) Youth Evangelism Team. He sensed a call from the Lord to pursue ministry.

The ancient Mayans may have something new to teach us, and it's not a date for Doomsday.
A recent study of 2,000 stalagmites from a cave in Belize reveals that climate change had long-term impacts on the growth and demise of the Classic Maya civilization. Douglas J. Kennett, a geoarchaeologist from Penn State University, as well as a team of colleagues studied the stalagmites from Yok Balum cave, leading to a discovery of detailed historical records of the Maya culture, including political systems and advanced technology inscribed on stone monuments. Calendar dates show wars, marriages, as well as accessions of kings and queens, matching specific dates in the Christian calendar.
The team also analyzed how climate changed played a key role in the Classic Maya developing a growing kingdom.
"In the study we developed a high resolution climate record," says Kennett. "We developed two measurements, whether it was wet or dry, per year for the last 2,000 years. We can go back and learn what was going in AD 110 in terms of climate. And within the record, it shows that the conditions were very wet, favorable for various kinds of agriculture that was being practiced by them at that time, and really the expansion of population and the integration of these people into larger cities, like northern Guatemala. There were 60-70,000 people living at that location during the classic period."
Once the climate became dryer, Kennett notes, the Maya cities reduced, potentially leading to its downfall.
"What we see in the historical record is increased warfare between these major cities, which seems to be one of the major social responses to the drying climate," explains Kennett. "We made the argument that it's related to decreased agriculture productivity, potentially stimulating social and political instability. Even as early as the 7th century you see some of these cities start to disintegrate. The kings in control lost their influence and power. And many of them failed between AD 800 and 900. That's when conditions were continuing to dry through that period."
The team stresses that despite the surprising connection between climate and the Classical Maya, it's only one part of the story. The researchers plan on using the data to further study the relationship between environmental and societal change. With the climate changes we're experiencing today, anthropologists are interested in further understanding how weather can possibly alter an entire society. The collapse of the ancient Maya continues to be a mystery among scholars, but these new findings may provide more clues on why it occurred.
And as for the end of the world supposedly on Dec. 21? Kennett states there is no specific connection found within the stalagmites being studied.
"In terms of the linkage between the Maya calendar and the business about the end of the world in December," Kennett said. "The only connection to that is the Maya calendar played an important role in looking at the relationship between climate change and cultural change."

Poet Duncan McGibbon in Cardiff
There is a rare chance to see Catholic poet Duncan McGibbon when he visits Cardiff this Sunday to perform some of his work at Poetry on Tap, upstairs at The Promised Land,
McGibbon has recently published two new books: At Lanwit Major - A Meditation in Time and Happiness, published by The Poetry Spring; and The Consolations (Mulfran Press), a collection of poetry that journeys from Our Lady of Geneva to the heart of the poet's family.
Born in Greenock, Scotland, the poet has lived and worked in Geneva, commuting between his British and Swiss Poet's Workshops, until moving to Bath in 2009. For more information see: mulfran.co.uk/DuncanMcGibbon.html
Claire Potter, author of Spilling Histories (Cinnamon Press), a poetry collection inspired by the aftermath of the New Orleans disaster is also performing. She represented Wales at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington DC last summer, and is well-known for her vibrant, vivacious poetry performances.
There is also an open-mike session. Poetry on Tap takes place upstairs at 2pm this Sunday, 14 February, in The Promised Land on Windsor Place, just off Queen Street.

Top 100 Agencies 2015: Biolumina Group
When Kirsten Kantak returns to New York City later this month to take the reins as president of Biolumina Group, it will feel like a homecoming for the 12-year Harrison and Star veteran.
After playing pivotal roles in growing H&S's oncology franchise and starting conflict shop Biolumina, Kantak has spent the past three years establishing European operations out of London and Paris.
Biolumina has carved a stellar reputation in the high-science specialty categories and Kantak truly "bleeds" its values, culture and the work it does. "It's the science that gets us excited," she says. "It's being able to take these highly complex scientific ideas and translate them into compelling, memorable, creative things that impact customers and change their behaviors."
Kantak has set a high bar for the agency and for herself, with a focus on attracting and cultivating talent and clients. "I'm looking forward to continuing to build the organization," she says.
Ty Curran, chairman and CEO of Medical Specialist Communications Group, which owns Biolumina and H&S, has little doubt that Kantak will succeed. "Kirsten has proved herself to be a natural leader," he says. "Her charisma has helped to build strong teams and solid client partnerships for H&S, and now she'll do the same for Biolumina."
Jad Daccurso, SVP, group account supervisor, will also return from Europe to the New York office. Meanwhile, previous Biolumina president Ane Jones is heading in the opposite direction to lead the European business.
Kantak reports that Biolumina enjoyed a good 2014 (without disclosing numbers) and that 2015 is so far consistent with that. Head count is in the region of 70 to 80. Clients include Novo Nordisk, Novartis, Genentech, Eisai, Salix and Apobiologix, and most of the recent growth has been organic.
"We've worked with a number of existing clients on launching either new products or new indications," says Kantak. "We've also been able to expand our foothold with some clients, doing more work from a professional standpoint, and also different kinds of work—particularly market prep, because a lot of the brands we work on tend to be first in class."
But the current trend of faster approval times, particularly for breakthrough products, brings its own challenges. "We have to find ways to get ready for a launch in a much more expedited time frame but, at the same time, maintaining the high quality of work," says Kantak.
Other challenges of the modern landscape include the need to demonstrate value of medications across audiences. "We have to think about the impact, not just on efficacy numbers, but also on the patient experience," says Kantak. "And we try to find ways to ensure that the value we're communicating to payers is consistent with the value we're communicating to physicians and patients."
Kantak hopes to introduce innovative approaches but understands that evolution isn't always straightforward. "You have to be willing to take risks, but you also have to recognize when something's not working and learn from that quickly."
The sheer pace of change and the proliferation of information in specialty areas can be daunting, and Kantak believes Biolumina can play a key role in helping clients keep up. "We want to make sure they understand the value of the products and how they fit into the context of the treatment of particular diseases so they can make the best choices."

"Do What You Love"
FREE Package of Services
At the Martial Arts Marketing Network (MAMN) we have a mantra we repeat to ourselves every day — "help our clients do what they love."
That's what we've been focusing on since 2007 and, as a result, over the years we've developed more and more services to be able to do this better and better.
Our team loves helping our clients grow and, like you, we're always looking for new clients.
What we've found is the best way for us to get a new client is to provide some of our services for free so a school owner can experience, first hand, if MAMN is a good fit for their school — or not.
However, we've also found that school owners have different needs so offering every school owner the same thing doesn't make any sense.
So, here is what we do instead.
1. Provide a free phone consultation with a school owner to better understand their needs
2. Based on what we learn, put together a free package of services customized to meet the school owner's most pressing needs (usually we can decide what this looks like within a couple of days).
The school owner can then decide if they want to take advantage of our offer or not (there is no obligation to do anything).
The market value of the packages we put together vary — but they're usually worth several hundred dollars.
Obviously, our goal is that you love what we've done for you and you become a client but, again, there is no obligation to do anything further with us.
To sign up to schedule a consultation call with us, just fill out the form below and someone will get back to you within a day or so.
NOTE: as you'd expect, we can only work with a few school owners at a time on these free offers and the demand is great. If we're backed up, we might not be able to schedule the free conference call right way.

The Inquiry about the Home Security System
Home alarm systems Terminology
There are many terms utilized by home security system to explain their goods. Ideas have described what a number of these terms mean so that you can rely on them when looking at the home security systems reviews.
• 2-Way Intercom: This refers to the ability for homeowners to communicate directly using their home security monitoring service with provided equipment.
• 24-Hour Monitoring: When a home alarm system has Round-the-clock monitoring, this means that the alarm company includes a monitoring facility that is staffed by real people 24 hours a day, Seven days a week. Which means that any time of day your home alarm sounds, someone is watching your system and you will receive notification out of your monitoring service.
• Carbon Monoxide Detectors: Recently, security alarm companies have begun including deadly carbon monoxide detectors as part of their home alarm packages.
• Cellular Monitoring: a cellular connection is the safest home security option, as your security alarm will not drop in case your telephone line is cut or perhaps your wireless connection falls. Cellular monitoring is just considered 100% dedicated if the home alarm system supplies a cellular signal between your sensors and the user interface, as well as between the control panel as well as your monitoring station. Some providers only offer a cellular connection between the sensors and the user interface.
• DIY Systems: Do It Yourself systems cut out the professional alarm system installation fees that lots of security companies charge. These systems are often wireless in order to make installation as easy as possible. They have a tendency to become great for renters as these security systems usually can be moved.
• Door and Window Sensors: Window and door sensors really are a basic element of any home alarm system. They notify your alarm monitoring service whenever a window or door is opened and the contact between two sensors is broken.
• Equipment Manufacturer: Based on your home security company, the maker of the actual alarm equipment you obtain may be provided by a third party technology company, produced by the alarm company themselves, or intermingled between a numbers of different manufacturers. If you opt to change home security companies in the future, this can make upgrading or altering your alarm system expensive and sophisticated.
• Equipment Warranty: This refers to the coverage provided when the security alarm equipment you install is faulty or malfunctions in any way. Depending on your home security company, your equipment may be covered by a complete lifetime warranty, a limited time warranty, or perhaps an optional warranty for further cost.
• Flood Sensors: For homes with basements or near to streams, flood sensors are definitely an important feature. Flood sensors will trigger the home security system if it determines that excess water may be accumulating in your home.
• Freeze Sensors: Freeze sensors assist in preventing damage from burst frozen pipes or any other cold-related damage that may exist in homes that experience extremely cold conditions.
• Heat Sensors: Some home security systems provide heat sensors that will help detect the threat of fire by measuring alterations in temperature. Heat sensors do not provide smoke detection.

Mirkarimi, 50, appeared in court this afternoon and pleaded not guilty today to misdemeanor charges of domestic violence battery, child endangerment and dissuading a witness.
He was ordered by San Francisco Superior Court Judge Susan Breall to stay away from his wife, Eliana Lopez and their 2-year-old son Theo throughout the court proceedings, despite an emotional statement by Lopez in support of her husband and against the order.
"The violence against me is I don't have my family together," Lopez said. "I'm not afraid of my husband at all."
She said Theo woke up at 5 a.m. today to ask "Is daddy at home?" and said she promised that he would be home the next day.
Mirkarimi removed his glasses to wipe away tears at times during Lopez's speech to the judge.
Assistant District Attorney Elizabeth Aguilar-Tarchi had sought the stayaway order and laid out much of the evidence in the case against Mirkarimi in support of it.
Aguilar-Tarchi cited a video that a neighbor took of Lopez, who went to the neighbor's home the day after the alleged incident.
Lopez "poured her soul out" in the video, saying she was afraid of Mirkarimi and showed the neighbor a bruise on her inner right bicep allegedly caused during an argument with Mirkarimi, Aguilar-Tarchi said.
In text messages between Lopez and the neighbor in the ensuing days, Lopez also mulled whether to change the locks on the doors of the family's Webster Street home and said she wanted to take Ross to therapy, Aguilar-Tarchi said.
The neighbor, since identified as Ivory Madison, reported the incident to police on Jan. 4, according to an arrest warrant affidavit filed by police last Friday.
According to the affidavit, Lopez also alluded in the video to past incidents between the couple and said she wanted to use the video "just in case (Mirkarimi) wants to take Theo away from me" because he allegedly told her he "is very powerful and can do it."
Lopez's attorney, Cheryl Wallace, initially claimed that because Madison is a licensed attorney, the video should not be admitted as evidence under attorney-client privilege, but Aguilar-Tarchi countered that Lopez also told a second neighbor about the incident.
The second neighbor said Lopez described it as Mirkarimi "going ballistic," according to the affidavit.
Breall ultimately sided with prosecutors and issued the stayaway order, saying although Lopez is "quite charming" and "says her husband is a good person," she said, "I have to go by this affidavit."
"I'm concerned about a child that's involved ... and I have to take a police report at face value," Breall said. "This situation is still a volatile situation."
Before Breall issued her order, Mirkarimi's attorney Bob Waggener acknowledged that Mirkarimi left the bruise on Lopez's arm during the argument but said "it's really on the lower tiers" of domestic violence.
Waggener said the couple has since reunited and should be allowed to work through their problems.
"Couples get over it, couples get through it," he said.
The hearing was briefly delayed while Lopez talked to a victim services official with the district attorney's office at the recommendation of Lopez, and so Waggener and Wallace could discuss the case.
At the end of the hearing, Mirkarimi was ordered to return to court on Monday to set a date for trial. Because the case is a misdemeanor, the trial has to begin within 45 days.
He will also return to court next Thursday when Waggener will seek to modify the stayaway order to allow the family to reunite.
Mirkarimi did not speak during the hearing and declined to speak to reporters outside the courtroom after the hearing.
His wife spoke briefly, blaming the U.S. legal system for keeping her family apart.
"This country is not allowing me to work on my marriage in a healthy way," she said.
Mirkarimi, who was just sworn in as sheriff on Jan. 8 after serving for seven years on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, has said he does not plan to resign.
If convicted on all charges, he could face up to a year in prison and three years' probation.

"We estimate that order and acceptance times have been reduced from over two minutes to just 26 seconds under the new system, which is an incredible advance. The fact that Wireless Logic's SIMs allows us guaranteed connectivity, over a variety of networks, and that the JCT box is easily accessible by the restaurant, means that we can guarantee that the order will be received and fulfilled much more quickly than before."
David Buttress, Managing Director, UK and N. Ireland at Just-Eat
Before Wireless Logic
- Reliance of over-burdened fixed-lines to fulfill orders
- Missed orders
- Delays in confirming customer orders
The Solution
Just-Eat has pioneered the development of its 'Just Connect' (JCT) box, developed alongside Danish wireless product development company, RTX. The box itself – designed to remove the need for fixed-line connectivity – comprises a GPRS modem, a small thermal printing device and, crucially, a Wireless Logic data SIM. The box is distinct in that it features 'feedback and confirmation buttons' that allow the restaurant to accept, decline or modify orders, there and then, which mitigates any delay; something that was a problem under the old model. Each embedded SIM is activated upon the signing of the service contract and so are active as soon as installed within each restaurant.
In this way, for the first time, restaurants are given a two-way communication device, via a secure fixed IP address, which allows Just-Eat greater control over the service offered by its participating restaurants an opportunity to respond to, and modify, orders if necessary.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download
We are entering an era where increasingly, a single individual can have a major impact on the world. New technologies are constantly being developed. More and more, they are available to everyday people at a lower cost.
On one hand, this is amazing. The Average Joe can go and build a robot in the basement with his kids. On the other hand, it's dangerous. The Average Joe in his basement can engineer an experimental nanovirus that accidentally gets released into the world. Oops. That was a major lack of foresight.
The human brain has not changed in over 10,000 years. We are 7 billion cavemen living in a technological society. And this is something that the transhumanist movement is concerned with.
Transhumanist Movement: Becoming More Than Human
How can we enhance a human being's intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities using cutting edge technology? How can we upgrade ourselves for the 21st century and beyond? These are questions that transhumanism aims to answer.
Many present day transhumanists are largely concerned with personal enhancement. Improving cognition, bodyhacking for optimal health and performance, and on the far side – immortality.
Back in his basement, Average Joe may be now a highly enhanced cyborg. But will that prevent him from releasing his nanovirus and destroying the world? Maybe not. After all, being a technologically upgraded superhuman doesn't necessarily make one more empathetic.
Increasing human empathy is something that certain groups of people have been at for a very, very long time. Namely, Buddhists. Loving-kindness meditation is one way to voluntarily increase empathy, for example. Many spiritual traditions around the world have worked out methods for improving humans and increasing our morality and virtues, particularly interpersonal ones. And this is something the transhumanist movement can borrow from.
Cyborg Buddha: The Future of Moral Enhancement
That is exactly what James Hughes is attempting to do in his upcoming new book, Cyborg Buddha. James Hughes is a bioethicist, transhumanist, and techno-progressive. He is the executive director at the Institute of Ethics and Emerging Technologies and a professor at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut.
In the Cyborg Buddha book, he borrows from his personal experience of studying Buddhism for several decades, briefly being a buddhist monk, and later living as a secular buddhist in USA. James attempts to distil key human virtues, and argues for the possibility of human moral enhancement in the future.
But the need to upgrade ourselves isn't the only hurdle we will be facing this century. Technological progress in robotics and automation are not so subtly taking over thousands of jobs every year. Technological unemployment is becoming a reality for millions of people worldwide.
Technological Unemployment: Will Robots Take Your Job?
This is nothing new. Machines have been displacing human labour since the time of Aristotle. The only difference is that today, it is happening faster than ever before. Although new jobs are being created in new industry sectors, they are often not enough to replace lost jobs. And in many cases, the industries are changing is so fast that people simply cannot adapt and gain new skills quickly enough to keep up.
This is an area of much debate. Some people believe that the technological unemployment we see today is just temporary. That once robots take all the labour and repetitive jobs, humans could develop a new economy of creative and intrinsically human jobs that cannot be automated. This is an optimistic view.
We can already see that even "creative" jobs like design and newspaper reporting can be performed by software. It's already happening. Jobs that we think of as distinctly human, like babysitting or caring for the elderly, may also be done by machines in the near future. In Japan, tech companies are currently developing these robots to care for their ageing population. And even highly skilled jobs like lawyers and doctors could eventually be replaced by artificial intelligence. Research has shown, for example, that sophisticated software is better at diagnosing an illness than most human doctors. And this is today.
The reality is, we will likely see mass technological unemployment within our lifetime. This is not a pretty picture, but it is something we have to think about and prepare for, even if it doesn't end up happening.
Universal Basic Income
So what is the solution? James Hughes talks about introducing universal basic income. This is the idea that every citizen is paid a certain amount of money by the state every month, regardless of their employment status. This is not the same as a welfare system, because universal basic income is meant to be for everyone – not just the poor or the temporarily unemployed. One way of moving into a basic income system would be to introduce a negative income tax for incomes under a certain threshold, while everyone else still pays tax. This system would also eliminate the need for welfare, pensions, food vouchers, or other social benefits.
The idea of universal basic income is not new. It was proposed by Thomas Paine in 1795, and has been considered several times since. Pilot programs have been run in United States and Canada to test the idea in the 1960s and 1970s. Canadian officials have recently announced another pilot program to run in the next few years.
As for results, we will have to wait and see. Speculation is one thing, but getting data from real studies is crucial. We may have to consider basic income as an option sooner or later, so testing it now is an important first step.

The Mindy Project Should Reboot Itself Next Season
Keep Mindy, Danny, and Morgan. Scrap everything else.
The Mindy Project finishes its second season tonight with an episode called "Danny and Mindy," which finds our central lovebirds going through a bunch of rom-com staples. I'm sure it will be very darling — because of course it will be, that's how this show rolls. But I hope this is the end of the Danny/Mindy romance, because when the show comes back next season, I want it to be a whole new show. TMP should scrap everything except Mindy Kaling (obviously), Chris Messina, and Ike Barinholtz, and it should start all over again — keep those actors, but everything else, including the premise, needs to go.
The best part of the show is Mindy and Danny's Luke-and-Lorelai–style chemistry, and the second-best part is Morgan's strongly earnest goofiness, which helps temper the more sardonic aspects of the series. So keep some version of those characters vaguely intact! They are fun. Everything else, though, is hurting the show more than it's helping. Go ahead and name the rest of the supporting cast. It can't be done.We can all name Mindy and Danny, and I can name Morgan, but only because when I talk to my mom about the show, she mentions him by name because he is her favorite character. Sorry to Beverly, Betsy, Tamra, Pete, and Jeremy, but they are not contributing to the series whatsoever. The fact that the show is set within a medical practice doesn't add anything, since we very rarely see anyone practice medicine, plus it makes Mindy's youth-oriented escapades — like her trip to a high school or letting one of her teenage patients crash with her — seem ludicrous. Chuck the doctor premise.
Mindy has already borderline rebooted itself: When the show started, Mindy's naughty secret was that she was sleeping with Jeremy (he's the British doctor), and the series also included a bunch of scenes with Mindy's outside-the-practice friends. That's been scrapped, and for the better, and the show added Morgan 13 episodes in — also a good move. But then the series added Adam Pally in season two, which was less encouraging; Pally's great, and we all miss Happy Endings, but his character Pete is just another jerk among the many. Danny's bristly enough, but the show also has a recurring jerkish midwife (Mark Duplass); Josh (Tom Dewey), who was jerkishly two-timing Mindy; the seemingly nice Casey (Anders Holm), who turned into a jerk; and Mindy's other ex Tom (Bill Hader), who is also a jerk. James Franco's character was a jerk. Even Mindy herself is often a jerk!
The show did not need more of that. Instead, the show needs to just be another show completely — which I know isn't really going to happen, but superficial changes aren't quite enough in this case. Keep Mindy's pop obsessions and Danny's weariness, but give those a purpose so that the jokes have some grounding in why the characters act the way they act: Maybe she's an English teacher and he's a beleaguered guidance counselor at a middle school? (Morgan could be the principal, because it's fun to have incompetent bosses in sitcoms.) Or maybe she's the web-savvy new boss of a struggling local newspaper, where he's the stick-in-the-mud old editor; Morgan runs the sports section. We could even go borderline You've Got Mail and have them run rival (but independent!) bookstores, with Morgan as both stores' most valuable customer. I want a setting and premise that serve the characters so that their oddball tendencies enrich the show's universe rather than deny aspects of it.
Right now, the show is set up where Mindy is kind of ditzy — but she's a really good doctor — and Danny is a total grump — but he's a really good doctor — and Morgan is a loopy, enthusiastic ex-con — who for some reason was hired by some good doctors. All those ideas are in conflict with each other: What is it about Mindy and Danny that make them good at being doctors? What does that mean about how they see themselves? It's fine to have Morgan as the latter-day Woody Boyd, but that works best when the other characters are kind to him, not when they manipulate or take advantage of him — the lovable dumdum is the chance for us to see a more loving, gentle side of our sometimes abrasive characters. It's also something disparate characters can have in common; everyone revered Coach and thus Woody on Cheers, but that might be the only thing Carla and Diane truly share.
I've seen every episode of The Mindy Project, and I enjoy it tremendously, but more often than not that's in spite of what the show is working with, not because of it. There's a wonderful show in here somewhere, it's just not the show Mindy currently is.

I love monthly workout challenges. It is a GREAT way to get in more physical activity on a regular basis and kick start any other workout you are doing regularly. For January, I developed a quick and easy cardio challenge to get that heart pumping.
The challenge is below. Do each exercise for 90 seconds without stopping (should take 7 1/2 minutes). Aim for doing this challenge at least 5 times per week during the month of January. If you do not have time for an additional workout one day, repeat the circuit 2 times for a 15 minute workout burst.
Most of the exercises you probably already recognize, but below is a brief rundown in case you need a refresher:
- Jumping Jacks: Stand upright with arms by your side. As you jump your legs out, wider than your hips, swing your arms overhead (keeping your arms straight). Jump back to your starting position. Keep going for 90 minutes! If jumping is too hard on your joints, just step out your feet instead.
- Invisible Jump Ropes: This one is simple. Act like you have a jump rope in your hand and move your hands as you jump over the invisible rope. You can mix this one up if you get bored by taking one leg at a time and then switching legs. You can do a double jump or even jump side to side. Your call!
- Jump Squats: First, choose between a regular squat (if you want to target the quads mostly) or a sumo squat (if you also want to target those inner thighs). Start with a squat, making sure your knees do not go past your toes, and as you come back up to your starting position- add a jump. Repeat and continue for the 90 second duration.
- Ski Jumps: Stand up straight with your arms bent in front of you like you are holding onto ski poles. Make a slight bend in your knees as you pull your arms in even more (to prepare) and jump to the right with your legs glued together the whole time. Repeat and jump to the left. You should feel like you are on the slopes!
- Star Jumps: This exercise is like a jumping jack in the air. You will prepare with both legs together and slightly bend your knees. As you jump, make an X with your body. Your legs will be kicked out to the side and your arms up in a V. These can get tough so if you cannot keep up the full 90 second duration, take a quick break and jump back in or step instead of jump.
2014 will be our fittest year yet!

I'm one of those painful people called "perfectionists"! I spend nearly as much time unpicking and resewing as I do in stitching in the first place. If I can't do something well, I don't do it at all – eg I would never play chess, because I knew my brilliant son would beat me! I always have to fix mistakes – other people's as well as my own! I'm always correcting grammar, like telling sporting commentators from my lounge room that they've used an adjective instead of an adverb – pity they can't hear me!
My personality of course carries over to my stitching. If you look at my designs, you will see dozens of needle-cases, bags, cushions, wall-hangings, stitching accessories, but only a handful of quilts. That's because I'm an imperfect piecer!
I admit that embroidery is my first love and so it is easy to put all my effort into that. I don't find sitting at a sewing machine sewing little pieces together for a quilt all that enjoyable, especially when they don't turn out 110% accurate. I become disappointed with the result, and therefore I don't sew many quilts!
Over the years, I've learned ways to get by, like designing quilts without points, or using 'disappearing' blocks that look as though you've done amazing piecing, or using lots of appliqué to get the focus in the right place!
We have a half-sized Pool Table which is always covered with a quilt when not in use, which quilt is now VERY faded and drab. As only a quilt will do, I have to face my fear of imperfection and get going and make a replacement. I wanted to use the Arbor Window block (aka Granny Square), but oh dear, all those hundreds of points with the potential to be not quite perfect.
After a pleasant time looking at lots of wonderful quilts using this block on the internet, I discovered the possibility of making beautiful square blocks with no points to align! Out with the calculator, some scraps, and plenty of enthusiasm, and after a couple of attempts at getting the right triangle sizes, I have had success.
I don't mind the small bit of wastage involved, when I can achieve perfect points and accurate square blocks. Nesting the seams makes it easy to line up the square blocks in their rows, which is about all the aligning that I have to worry about.
I am now facing the making of this quilt with a totally different attitude. Once again, I have decided to use the Quilt-As-You-Go method. I feel as though I have somewhat perfected my favoured version of this QAYG technique now and I certainly find it easier quilting small blocks instead of a whole quilt.
I have one other admission to make - using a cutting die (I have an Accuquilt Go) means I start with very accurately cut shapes, and this has certainly helped my piecing to improve. Who knows, one day I might even make a Dear Jane Quilt!

FRBR: the future of the library catalog
Document Type
Full text in Chines published in : Metadata and Library, 2005, pp 219-232 by Shanghai Science and Information Technology Publication
In 1998 the Study Group on the Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records from IFLA (International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions) released its final report of Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR). Since then cataloging experts as well as library system developers across the world have conducted numerous extensive researches in respect to the application of the FRBR model and its impact on bibliographic control and cataloging practices. The United States, in particular, and several European countries such as France, Italy, Denmark and Australia have recently experimented with FRBR in the creation of bibliographic database. FRBR Display Tool for Online Public Catalog has also been developed to test the model for its practical uses. Will FRBR ultimately resolve issues confronting the cataloging community, and therefore be adopted as an applicable model world wide? This article will introduce new developments in the application of the FRBR model. It is hoped that the article will inspire more discussion among Chinese cataloging colleagues with regard to the application of FRBR in Chinese cataloging.

Completing a FAFSA FAQ
Select any question to view the answer
|Ask your financial aid counselor!
|If your financial situation has significantly changed, and the income reported on the FAFSA does not reflect your current situation, please speak with your admissions or financial aid counselor to assess if a petition could benefit you.
|The parent that supports you the most
|The FAFSA guidelines require that you include financial information from the parent that you lived with most during the past 12 months. If you have a similar situation and are unsure what to do, please contact us!
Completing the 18-19 FAFSA:
Beginning with the 17-18 academic year, the FAFSA is now available starting October 1st of the year preceding the year you will start going to school. The FAFSA will now use the "prior-prior" year's tax information. This means that you will use the tax information from 2016 for your 18-19 FAFSA.
|Yes, in most cases.
|The retrieval tool should be available on the 18-19 FAFSA. As long as you qualify to have your tax data transferred, you should be able to save time by linking the data to your FAFSA right away.
|With the new FAFSA changes, you can only use 2016 tax information on the 18-19 FAFSA. If there are significant differences in income between these two years, let your financial aid counselor know and we can discuss other options.
|Only income and tax information from 2016 will be used. Other questions such as family size & assets will be based on your current situation.
