HP WebOS

HP WebOS adalah sebuah sistem operasi mobile didasarkan pada kernel Linux , awalnya dikembangkan oleh Palm , yang kemudian diakuisisi oleh Hewlett-Packard . Nama resmi adalah uncapitalised WebOS, namun "WebOS" juga digunakan sebagai istilah lain.
WebOS diperkenalkan oleh Palm pada Januari 2009. Berbagai versi WebOS telah tampil di beberapa perangkat, termasuk Pre , Pixi , dan Veer telepon dan touchpad HP tablet.

WebOS memiliki antarmuka grafis dengan desain oleh Matias Duarte untuk digunakan pada perangkat dengan layar sentuh . WebOS menggunakan multi-touch gerakan untuk menavigasi di layar sentuh. Antarmuka menggunakan "kartu" untuk mengelola multitasking . Pengguna switch antara menjalankan aplikasi dengan gerakan menjentikkan dari kiri dan kanan pada layar. Aplikasi ditutup dengan menjentikkan "card" up-dan "off"-the screen.

WebOS menggunakan fitur, Synergy, untuk mengintegrasikan informasi dari berbagai sumber. Pengguna dapat sign in ke account pada Gmail , Yahoo! , Facebook , LinkedIn , dan Microsoft Outlook (melalui Exchange ActiveSync ) dan mengintegrasikan semua sumber ke dalam satu daftar. Kalender dari berbagai sumber dapat dilihat bersama-sama atau satu per satu waktu. Untuk pesan, Synergy menggabungkan semua percakapan dengan kontak masing-masing menjadi jendela obrolan-gaya tunggal. Sebagai contoh, pesan instan dan SMS pesan teks dilihat bersama-sama.

Pada tanggal 9 Desember 2011, HP mengumumkan rencananya untuk merilis kode sumber di bawah lisensi open source untuk WebOS di beberapa waktu dalam waktu dekat.

Proses penyaluran dana BOS dari tingkat pusat sampai dengan tingkat sekolah dilakukan 2 tahap, yaitu:

Tahap 1: Penyaluran dana dari Kas Umum Negara (KUN) ke Kas Umum Daerah (KUD) Provinsi. Mekanisme penyaluran dana dan pelaporannya diatur dalam Peraturan Menteri Keuangan (PMK).

Tahap 2: Penyaluran dana dari KUD provinsi ke rekening sekolah. Mekanisme Penyaluran dana dan pelaporannya akan diatur dalam Peraturan Menteri Dalam Negeri. Untuk kelancaran penyaluran dana BOS, ada beberapa tahapan/langkah persiapan yang harus dilakukan:

1. Bagi sekolah yang belum memiliki rekening, misalnya sekolah baru, maka sekolah harus segera membuka rekening bank atas nama sekolah (bukan atas nama pribadi) dan segera mengirim ke Tim Manajemen BOS Kabupaten/Kota;
2. Tim Manajemen BOS Kabupaten/Kota mengkompilasi nomor rekening seluruh sekolah yang telah digunakan pada tahun 2011 dan nomor rekening baru (jika ada), kemudian mengirimkannya kepada Tim Manajemen BOS Provinsi (Formulir BOS-02);

4. SKPD Pendidikan Provinsi menyerahkan data daftar sekolah penerima dana BOS dan alokasi dananya kepada BPKD untuk keperluan pencairan dana BOS dari BUD ke sekolah.

Dana BOS disalurkan dari KUN ke KUD secara triwulanan (tiga bulanan), yaitu:

• Triwulan Pertama (bulan Januari sampai dengan bulan Maret) dilakukan paling
  lambat 14 (empat belas) hari kerja pada awal bulan Januari 2012;
• Triwulan Kedua (bulan April sampai dengan bulan Juni) dilakukan paling lambat 7 (tujuh) hari kerja pada awal bulan April 2012;

Goodbye....Hello

Early morning Tuesday, May 31, 2011....the sun is just barely peeking up over the Costa Rican hills and we are pulling into the Liberia airport. It seems very surreal that our year here is over. My head is spinning with so many different emotions. I am filled with anticipation and excitement to be reunited with our families again, but my heart is aching as I think about the many friends here we are leaving behind. I know that each of my kids and Lane are feeling the same as well. It is a very melancholy feeling, and the pouring rain is only adding to our emotion., but is brings me back to the first title of this blog...smiles and rain. Very fitting.


It was a very tender thing to witness Jose saying goodbye to his "best brother"....that is what he always calls him. He had on his "Terminator"t-shirt that he only saves for special occasions....and he said, "the machine is crying!" ah....it was very tearful.

Neida and Jose spent the night with us and helped us get all our luggage to the airport, since we needed two cars. They also stood watch over our bags while we were getting checked in. We love them so much. They stood at the window as we passed through to the boarding area...waving and blowing kisses at us. My heart was in my throat. I was thinking back to the first time we met them and how we felt a connection with them right away. That connection grew into a beautiful friendship that will last forever. Stepping onto the plane was difficult. I did a lot of pondering during the flight. My heart was filled with gratitude for all that our family experienced this past year. I am so thankful that we followed our hearts and took the opportunity to do this. It was a year of challenges and growth, eye opening experiences, facing fears, new people to love, service opportunities, learning, patience, quiet time, laughter and tears. I wouldn't trade any of it. As the plane lifted up over the hills and the ocean came into view, it was hard to hold back my tears. I never would have dreamed that this little country would hold such a special place in my heart. We flew over Nicaragua and could see the volcanoes rising up out of Ometepe Island where our journey began....I thought of our little island family there and my tears continued. I feel so blessed to have friendships with people in so many places. They have enriched my life so much. Knowing that the plane would be landing soon in my own beautiful country, I began to get very excited. After all, the most important people in my life are there. My family.


Well....we finally arrived on the other end and were happy to see our car once again. Lora and Emma were especially excited about this as you can see. It felt strangely familiar.

We have now been back for 10 days and it has been so wonderful. I have never thought Utah looked more beautiful and our families as well. So far, we have had a family wedding, graduation party, birthday party, and baby blessing. It has been busy with so many good things and I have enjoyed every minute. Seeing my kids together with their cousins again has been so fun. They are in heaven.

This will be the last post. That seems sad and yet fulfilling at the same time. I am so thankful that I have kept this blog so that my children and Lane and I will never forget the details of our year. I hope to print it into a book so that we will have it as a keepsake forever. Even if someday it is lost, I know that all of it is stamped into our hearts and has become a part of us. Seeing the beautiful Salt Lake temple again had more meaning than ever. I am so thankful for my knowledge and testimony of eternal family and eternal relationships.
So I will say goodbye to this blog and remind all who have been reading it, including myself...to always

ENJOY THE JOURNEY.

Santa Cruz Branch

As the time is getting closer and closer for us to leave, the thing we are going to miss the very most is our little Santa Cruz Branch of the church here. We have truly grown to love these people like family and this coming Sunday is going to be very heartbreaking as we have to say goodbye to them. This is just a few of them as we were getting seated for a baptism on Sunday morning.

Hermana Pina has been one of our dearest friends, along with her husband Jose. They are like family to us. She has helped us more than anyone with our Spanish.

Maggie and Estaban are the cutest latin couple ever and we love them so much. She is the RS President and he is the EQ President. Powerhouse couple!

Had to get a picture of Lane hard at work in the Branch Pres. office. This is one of our awesome full time missionaries, Elder Daniel Whitlock. (thought his mom would like this)

This is our Young Women's group.....yep, only 3 of them! Lora just graduated into YW last month. These other 2 girls adore her.

Here is Lora with her 2 best Primary friends before she left them and went into YW.

Lane and his "Best Brother" ...Jose Pina. They are in the Branch Presidency together.

Our cute branch President's mother. She is just an angel.

Here is the best picture I could get of all my primary kids. They have a hard time posing for a picture. I love them all so much. I just want to bring them all home with me.

This is one of our little guys that comes each week with no parents...he and his little cousins walk about 2 miles to the church. They showed up eating leaves last week cause they are often hungry. They know they will get a snack after primary so that is probably the main reason they come I am sure, but we try to teach them some good things before they get that snack!
This coming Sunday will be our last week and I know it is going to be a tough one so just in case I don't get any more pis this week, I wanted to post these.

My Happy Girl

I have been looking at my baby lately and realizing that she is not a baby anymore...look at this beautiful girl. She has grown up so much this year. The best thing about Emma is she is so easy to please....she usually has a smile on her face and if not, all you need to do is give her some watermelon, the beach and a friend!

This girl could eat watermelon all day.....and strawberries, but there is no shortage of watermelon here in CR so she gets her fill quite regularly.

Looks like she is just pondering about how delicious this actually is

The other thing that brings her lots of joy here is her best friend Luc! These 2 look more like twins huh? Luc and his family are from Canada and are living here for 6 months. They have become like family to us and we will miss them dearly when we leave. Luc and Emma have so much fun at the beach together. They wear themselves out boogie boarding, swimming away from the sting rays, laughing, playing in the sand, and collecting shells.

Aren't they cute? Good thing they are only 7 and 8. Emma misses Grace terribly still, but Luc has been a good shoe in for a best friend here....once she came to grips with the fact that he is a boy and it is perfectly ok to have a "boy friend" at her age...
I hope that when we move back to the states, the simple things will still make this girl smile.

Time

Time...

I think about it a lot here. Not in the same way I did before...not at all. Before, it was always, what time do I need to be there? what time does so and so need to be picked up? What time do I need to get up to be where I need to be?
Time is just different here. It feels like a gift. It is not that I have more time here...I still have the same 24 hours in a day that I always had before. It's just that I have the opportunity here to use my time more wisely and fill my days with things that will build me instead of keeping me so busy that I don't have time to think about developing my own self .
As I look at the little countdown chart in Emma's room (that is how we measure the days here) and realize that we only have 19 more days .....time is becoming even more precious to me now.
I have prayed every morning and night since coming here that I would be able to use this time to do good things.
Often we put our kids in "Time Out" when they were little. I have learned that it is not just to be used as a punishment.....it is a reward. Everyone needs it now and then. I feel like this has been a big "Time Out"for me here. I am going to miss it more than I even can imagine right now.
I will miss my quiet mornings to read and study things that strengthen me. My long walks along the beach by myself or with a child that needs time with me. Time to sit with Lane on a cliff overlooking the ocean and just talk about our goals and dreams for the future. Time to laugh and play in huge waves with my kids. Time to read to them in the hammock. Time to help Abram with Math for hours and actually enjoy doing it because I really have nothing else to do. Time to spend hours visiting teaching because that is how long it takes here. Time to think about how I want to spend my time today...
As I write this, I realize that I do not have to miss these things, because I don't have to give them up. I just have to make time for them when we get back to our real life. I will still have the same 24 hours in a day that I have here. I still have the agency as to how I use my time. It will take a little more work on my part, but I know that I can still fit all these good things in my life. There will be many more things pulling on me and demanding a piece of my time, but I have the choice. We all have the choice.
I happen to love quotes and one of my favorite from a General Conference past is this:

"We become what we want to be, by consistently being what we want to become."

Richard G. Scott

This last year has largely been about "becoming" for me and I only hope that I can take what I have learned and bring it back with me to a world that is much more demanding, yet full of so many wonderful things as well. I feel renewed and strengthened. I feel so much love for my children and for Lane. We have been a team. We have been so together, it is crazy sometimes how together we have actually been. We have made memories here that we could never recreate anywhere else.
I feel so blessed to have had this TIME. One thing I have learned is how quickly time passes. This has taught me to appreciate the wonderful moments and to be patient during the not so good moments, because both of those moments will pass quickly.
It is the moments that make up our lives. I am grateful for all the moments in this past year.
