Why Eco Resort Near Gurgaon Picnic Better For School Kids
Summary: School trips near Delhi are important for the kids to learn and explore the world. The eco resort near Gurgaon helps the child discover their strengths and become people's person. Here are some reasons why as a parent you must always send your kids for the school picnic.
Are you a parent of a school-going kid? Did you just get notified that the school is going to arrange a resort picnic? It's perfectly alright to be apprehensive about sending your child to the resort picnic. However, you must put a leash on your overly protective attitude towards your child and allow them to go along.Resort picnics are one of the best things that can happen to a school kid.They are one of the initial milestones on the path of self-discovery.
Eco resort near Gurgaon picnics might not have as much educational valueas the picnics to the conventional places like the zoo, national park, or the museum but they are much more enjoyable. And that's exactly what the school-going kids need once in a while,a break from the curricula. Resort picnics usually last for a couple of days, which means the kids, would be on their own. Of course, the teachers would supervise them and make sure they are fine, the kids get a lot of time to learn the important life skills.
This might be their very first experience of being away from home unless they are already living in a hostel.The occasion makes them realize how important it is to bond with people outside their family. They learn to interact with their classmates, teachers, other people involved in the process in an appropriate manner. That's how they begin to develop their knack to become a people's person and keeping up the conversation.
Staying away from home for a school trips near Delhi can kick start their thought process and make them realize that sooner or later, they have to get out in the world. They have to come out of their protective cocoon and leave their comfort zone. On a resort picnic, the kids would learn to take care of themselves. They obviously won't learn everything there is in just one day, but it is certainly a good start. They will know the association with a group.
The resorts where such picnics are often held have recreational activities like zorbing, wall climbing, loop walk, rappelling, pocket bike racing, swimming, commando net, cat walk, zip lining, treasure hunt, etc. Not everyone gets an opportunity to go on a vacation with their families. Resort picnics offer a great way to fulfill that void. The kids can experience the things that they hadn't before; splashing the water on their friends as they play in the pool, the fear when they go on a water slide for the first time, the joy when they reach the bottom safely. These experiences are priceless.
As surprising as it may sounds, a chance to have an overnight stay with the friends away from home ingrains a sense of independence and self-reliance in the kids. It boosts their self-confidence that they can do just fine even if their parents are not around for a while. It will reduce their dependency on you and pave a way for them to become strong-willed individuals. Such prospects help build character.
We hope that after reading the psychological benefits of sending your child away to the resort picnic would definitely wash away your apprehensions. Send your kid to the upcoming school picnic and we are sure you will be glad you did.

Rooting a device can bring a wealth of features and functionality to a user's device. In truth, the act of rooting does not add anything in itself, but what it does do is offer access to the device at a level where the functionality can then be achieved. While some devices are easier to root, others are not so easy. As such, the ability to root a newer device is largely dependent on how easy it is to begin with and how much people want the device to be rooted. One of those devices which had proved difficulty in gaining root access was the Sony Xperia Z3.
In fact, it was becoming so difficult that back in November a now-common bounty began for the device. For those unfamiliar with root bounties, these are usually where the community comes together and offers a collective bounty, which is awarded to whoever can find an exploit and gain root privileges. As such, November saw the announcement of the start of the bounty for much of the Xperia Z3 line of devices. The good news came by January when root seemed to be achieved for the Xperia Z3 using a method developed by XDA member zxz0O0. That said, the method did not seem to work so well for the T-Mobile version of the Xperia Z3. This was due a locked bootloader and a patch for the exploit already included in the specific carrier variant's firmware.
As such, by February a bounty began specifically designed for the T-Mobile Xperia Z3 (model number D6616). Well, root seems to now have also been achieved for the D6616. Again, the exploit which gains the root privileges was determined by zxz0O0 and working off the more general Z3 exploit. For those interested in gaining root access on the T-Mobile version, the feedback so far from those testing the method is slightly mixed. This seems to be due to issues when trying to install. Therefore, if the current and main method (source link below) does not work then you are advised to read on from the method post as the thread does go to further collectively explain how to gain root access. If you are running a Verizon version of the Sony Xperia Z3, then it seems this exploit also works for your device too. Click the source link below to find out more.

Hexxit Updated Memory Requirements & Player Slots
- Memory Guideline
To avoid lag or memory errors, order a minimum of 5GB of memory. If you are playing with friends or planning on hosting a public server consider ordering 6GB or more. You won't know your exact requirements until you start building and getting more players on. Don't worry you can quickly upgrade your memory as your server grows. Follow this guide if you need to upgrade.
- Recommended Max Players is our best guess on how many slots gives good performance per GigaByte of memory. It relates to how many players can join before running into lag or out-of-memory errors. Newer servers with lots of mods/plugins will have less players per GB, you won't know exactly how many players until your server gets busy. You have Unlimited Slots, set this in the control panel, use your slots wisely. It's a guideline not set in bedrock!

Thinking Skills Development:
Development of Higher-order thinking by students involving the transformation of information and ideas. This transformation occurs when students combine facts and ideas and synthesise, generalise, explain, hypothesise or arrive at some conclusion or interpretation. Hence, by developing thinking skills to higher levels, we develop information processing skills (Finding relevant information Organizing, information, Representing or communicating information), Reasoning skills (Giving reasons, Making inferences or deductions, Arguing or explaining a point of view),Enquiry skills, (Asking question, Planning research or study, Engaging in enquiry or process of finding out), Creative thinking skills (Generating ideas, Imagining or hypothesizing, Designing innovative solutions), Evaluation (Developing evaluation criteria, Applying evaluation criteria, Judging the value of information and ideas).
Project based learning
In Project Based Learning (PBL), students go through an extended process of inquiry in response to a complex question, problem, or challenge. While allowing for some degree of student rigorous projects are carefully planned, managed, and assessed to help students learn key academic content, practice 21st Century Skills (such as collaboration, communication & critical thinking), and create high-quality, authentic products & presentations. Project-based learning involves,
- Asking and refining questions
- Debating ideas
- Making predictions
- Designing plans and/or experiments
- Collecting and analyzing data
- Drawing conclusions
- Communicating ideas and findings to others
- Asking new questions
- Creating artifacts
Visual learning
Visual learning strategies such as Thinking Maps, graphic organizers, diagramming, mind mapping, outlining and more are being vital in education. These strategies help students or all ages better manage learning objectives and achieve academic success. As students are required to evaluate and interpret information from a variety of sources, incorporate new knowledge with what they already have learned, and improve writing skills and think critically, visual learning tools help students meet those demands. Paired with the brain's capacity for images, visual learning strategies help students better understand and retain information.
Collaborative learning & Collegial Coaching
Collaborative learning refers to an instruction method in which students at various performance levels work together in small groups toward a common goal. The students are responsible for one another's learning as well as their own. Thus, the success of one student helps other students to be successful. Moreover, through Collegial Coaching method where teachers are paired together to help one another grow and improve with feedback and support, aimed at increasing collegiality, improving instructional delivery and ultimately having significant positive impacts on student learning and achievement.
Differentiated Instructions
Differentiated instruction is a process through which teachers enhance learning by providing guidance to teachers in creating learning environments that address the diversity typical in all classrooms and enabling teachers to learn how to differentiate instruction in order to make certain that every student grows in all key skills and knowledge areas. Differentiated instruction allows all students to access the same classroom curriculum by providing entry points, learning tasks, and outcomes that are tailored to the students' needs.
De Bono's Six Thinking Hats
Hats are easy to put on and to take off. Each hat is a different color which signals the thinking ingredient. In a group setting each member thinks using the same thinking hat, at the same time, on the same thinking challenge a tool that facilitates creativity and collaboration. It enables each person's unique point of view to be included and considered. Argument and endless discussion become a thing of the past. Thinking becomes more thorough.
Class room and Behavior Management
The most effective ways to deal with class room and behavior management challenges. Practical ways to create classroom environment that reinforces positive behavior, stimulates attention and imagination and makes teacher expectations clear to the students.

Louis Vuitton is thrilled to welcome Nicolas Ghesquière as artistic director of the women's collections. pic.twitter.com/iEZkh38kdz
— Louis Vuitton (@LouisVuitton) November 4, 2013
Leaving Balenciaga. Arriving bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.
Nicolas Ghesquière is the new artistic director of women's collections at Louis Vuitton, reports Women's Wear Daily. The position has been open since Marc Jacobs — the celebrated American designer who sat at the helm of the design house for 16 years — stepped down before the 2014 ready-to-wear runway show in Paris in October.
Since Ghesquière's abrupt departure from Balenciaga last November, there has been much speculation over his next move. In May, System magazine published an exclusive tell-all interview with the designer, in which he detailed the challenges he faced while working under parent company Kering.
In the interview, the designer confessed, "I began to feel as though I was sucked dry, like they wanted to steal my identity while trying to homogenize things." Ghesquière's indiscretion violated his separation agreement, and Kering filed a lawsuit to cover damages to the brand. (TDB)
Despite bitter endings, the designer's 15-year term at Balenciaga was defined as a phenomenal success. As early as 2001, Suzy Menkes of The International Herald Tribune said, "Nicolas Ghesquière is the most intriguing and original designer of his generation. His collections are explorations of shape, volume, and embellishment that seem totally new—yet reflect in a glancing, abstract way the style of the iconic design house that shelters him." (TDB)
His work amassed such a cult following that it inspired the pertinent (now-defunct) Tumblr, Balenciaga Did It First, and his exacting mix of sportswear, tailoring, and shapes cut with couture-like precision defined the fashion landscape for many seasons. The fashion world largely has Ghesquière to thank for popularizing everything from bra tops and sculpted sleeves (although Cristobal Balenciaga did do that first), to graphic slogan sweaters—like those from the Balenciaga Fall 2012 collection that still remain the most photographed street style look in recent memory. (TDB)
That is a quality Ghesquière and his predecessor, Jacobs, have in common. Jacobs launched ready-to-wear for the luxury house and, during his 16-year career, helped build the booming business that is now defined as LVMH's "cash cow." It was also during Jacobs's time that Louis Vuitton was at the forefront of logomania, which, despite hefty price tags, inspired mass-market appeal and copycats across the globe. (TDB)
It's probable that Ghesquière, whose approach to womenswear recalls that of studied couturiers, will focus on instilling a more elite sensibility to the collections and the brand at large. It poses the question: will the spectacular Louis Vuitton presentations at Paris Fashion Week be a thing of the past? The media has come to anticipate fantastical sets, not to mention generous ticket allocations, at the Louis Vuitton shows. But, large-scale events and theatrics are not Ghesquière's way: he prefers intimate, more traditional presentations. (TDB)
Regardless, the new artistic director will assuredly take the brand (which celebrates its 160th anniversary next year) to an exciting new place—it's sure to be an interesting ride come March. (TDB)

The municipality is considering moving the garbage compactor at the Nesters site back to its original position.
"Clearly there is a pinch point between the new building and the garbage compactor so we will probably move it back to where it was located in the back corner," said Brian Barnett, the Resort Municipality of Whistler's general manager of engineering and public works.
"It is a pretty simple thing to do."
Locals and visitors alike have watched with fascination as a mammoth "lean-to" has been constructed at the Nesters garbage and recycling site over the last several months. But while the structure may look over-engineered and costly it's not, said Barnett.
"It does look like it was an expensive undertaking, and it was $258,000, but it is well built, well designed and it will serve Whistler well for many years," he said.
The design stems from the use of hemlock wood for the construction. While this may not have been the first choice for the "lean-to" it worked for this project because it was available to the municipality for a great price.
The wood, explained Barnett, was over-supplied to the Whistler library project and rather than ship it elsewhere the supplier offered it to the municipality at a very attractive price.
(The municipality has just sold the last of the wood, making money in the process, to the company doing the upgrade on the wastewater treatment plant.)
"It was actually a cost saving opportunity," said Barnett.
"It was actually cheaper than if it was done on a traditional approach."
The municipality had wanted to upgrade the recycling area for some time because, said Barnett: "The experience at the compactor and recycling sites is quite sub-standard for the Whistler experience we are trying to maintain here.
"There is usually a pile of snow that turns into ice because people walk in there and it is slippery and dark, or rainy. So it is just a pretty unpleasant experience.
"The intent was to build basically a lean-to shelter over the containers so people would have a dry, safe lit area to do their recycling… it was really just a simple amenity to improve the quality of the recycling experience in an effort to increase recycling rates in Whistler."
The project was put out to tender but local bids came in at $30,000 more than Coquitlam based Acculine Construction, which was awarded the job.
CWA Engineering designed it.
The garbage compactor had to be moved to the centre of the area to facilitate the building of the lean-to over the recycling bins.
Barnett, who does his own garbage drop off and recycling there, agrees that the new design is a bit of a problem.
"The layout was a municipal staff decision and in hindsight probably not the best decision, but it wasn't an expensive undertaking to re-locate it and it did have to get re-located to build the lean-to," he said.
"We had to move it off to the area it is now for the construction, so to put it back to where it was is certainly no problem."
In-house municipal crews did most of that work.
The concrete pad was laid to protect the asphalt during the delivery and removal of the garbage compactor. It can be removed.
It may be, said Barnett, that in the future the smaller mixed paper compactor or another unit will be placed in that vicinity.
Asked if he thought it was a good use of public money Barnett replied: "I think it is a cost effective project and it is intended to support our sustainability initiative by making the recycling rates better."

John Havlicek, a relentless force for the Boston Celtics over two decades and two championship eras and one of the greatest clutch stars in N.B.A. history, died Thursday in Jupiter, Fla. He was 79.
His death was announced by the Celtics. No cause was given, but it was known that he had been treated for Parkinson's disease.
Havlicek showed an unassuming but unyielding consistency throughout a 16-season, Hall of Fame career. He was known by the nickname "Hondo," given him by a childhood friend who had trouble pronouncing his surname and who thought Havlicek's strong, silent demeanor was reminiscent of John Wayne in the 1953 movie of the same name.
One play epitomized Havlicek's reputation as the pre-eminent hustle player of his time and possibly, as many older Celtics fan would argue, of all time.
On April 15, 1965, the Celtics were clinging to a 110-109 lead in the decisive seventh game of the 1965 Eastern Conference final playoff series. With five seconds remaining, center Bill Russell's inbounds pass from under the 76ers' basket hit a guy wire overhead, giving the 76ers the ball and a chance to win the series.
Guarding Chet Walker, a star forward for Philadelphia, in the area near the free-throw line, Havlicek began silently ticking off the five allotted seconds that 76ers' guard Hal Greer had to inbound the ball. Then, at the count of four, Havlicek peeked back at Greer, who had just tossed the ball in Walker's direction.
Havlicek reached and tipped the pass to Celtics guard Sam Jones, who then dribbled out the clock to cement the Boston victory, setting off pandemonium in Boston Garden. Havlicek was hugged by Russell, mobbed by fans and stripped of his No. 17 jersey.
The play was immortalized by the Celtics' longtime radio broadcaster, Johnny Most, whose call — "Havlicek stole the ball!" — became enshrined in every highlight reel of the Celtics' glorious history.
"Red Auerbach always said, 'Look for an edge,'" Havlicek recalled in a 2015 N.B.A. video marking the 50th anniversary of the steal, referring to the Celtics' organizational patriarch and nine-time champion coach. "I did what I was supposed to do. I never realized it would last this long, but it is everlasting."
Spanning eras that included Russell and Dave Cowens, star center of the 1970s, Havlicek was part of eight Celtics championship teams in all, never losing in an N.B.A. finals. He was also a standout at Ohio State when the Buckeyes won an N.C.A.A. title in 1960 and reached the championship game in two subsequent seasons, in which Havlicek co-starred with his roommate Jerry Lucas, another future Basketball Hall of Famer. Those teams won 78 of 84 games. (Another member of the roster was Bob Knight, who would go on to a renowned and controversial career coaching college ball.)
'The Best All-Around Player'
It was with the Celtics that Havlicek developed his game as a unique two-position player — small forward and shooting guard. Early in his career he raised the visibility and value of the sixth man, or first man off the bench, before becoming a starter when Russell, a player-coach, retired after the 1968-69 season and Tom Heinsohn, a former teammate of Havlicek's, took over as coach.
Havlicek was voted to the all-N.B.A. team four times, the second team seven times and the defensive first team five times. Russell, who is considered to have been the most indispensable Celtic of all, called Havlicek "the best all-around player I ever saw."
Havlicek, who averaged 20.8 points for his career, played in more games (1,270) for Boston than Russell, scored more points (26,395) than a later Celtic star, Larry Bird, and handed out more assists (6,114) than any other Celtic playmaker except Bob Cousy.
But when he joined the Celtics as a rookie in 1962 as the seventh pick of that year's college draft, Havlicek was mainly a tenacious defender with an indefatigable work ethic. Some teammates, Cousy included, doubted he would amount to much.
"He didn't really shoot from the outside or dribble that much," said Heinsohn, who had played alongside Havlicek for several seasons in Boston. "But he was like a wide receiver in football, and he would run and catch long passes from Cousy for layups."
Before joining the Celtics, Havlicek almost did become a wide receiver, for the Cleveland Browns. The Browns selected him in the seventh round of the 1962 N.F.L. draft, even though Havlicek — who had been an all-state high school quarterback in Ohio — had repeatedly rejected offers to play big-time college football at Ohio State for Woody Hayes, one of the sport's coaching giants. (He also played baseball in college, as an infielder).
But after a disappointing initial contract offer by Auerbach, Havlicek accepted an invitation by Paul Brown, the Browns' coach, to try out as a wide receiver. The Browns wanted to take advantage of his height, a shade over 6 feet 5 inches.
Lucas recalled asking him, "You're going to do what?" He added, in a telephone interview, "John was that good an athlete — pretty much any sport — and especially that good a runner."
Fred Taylor, Ohio State's basketball coach, liked to use members of the university's cross-country team as pacesetters when he had his players run laps. "John would run away from us, and then he'd run away from the pacesetters," Lucas said.
After playing in two preseason games, Havlicek was a late cut by the Browns and soon after joined the Celtics in training camp. He quickly let his new teammates know what they were in for.
In his first scrimmage, Havlicek was matched with Jim Loscutoff, a burly forward known for his physical play. After a while, a winded Loscutoff yelled out: "Hey, you're crazy. Nobody runs like that. Slow down."
Havlicek responded, "Quit pushing me so hard and I'll quit running so hard."
Havlicek never did stop moving, all the way to April, 9, 1978, when he scored 29 points in a victory over the Buffalo Braves. It was the last time a Celtic wore No. 17.
A Boy Who Ran, and Ran
John Joseph Havlicek was born in Martins Ferry, Ohio, on April 8, 1940, the second son of Frank Havlicek, who had emigrated to the United States from Czechoslovakia at 12, and Mandy (Turkalj) Havlicek, who was of Croatian descent but born in the United States. His parents ran a general store, and the family lived above it, on U.S. 40 in nearby Lansing, an Ohio Valley town of a few hundred residents near Wheeling, W.Va.
Fearing traffic on the busy roadway, Havlicek's parents refused to let John have a bicycle as a youngster, so he tended to sprint everywhere to keep up with friends.
"Maybe that's where I developed my stamina," he wrote in "Hondo: Celtic Man in Motion," a 1977 autobiography written with Bob Ryan. In a 1988 interview with Sports Illustrated, Havlicek attributed his "exceptional lungs" to all the running he did, claiming that doctors "have to take two chest X-rays to fit them in."
Havlicek liked to cut through an uphill wooded area on the way to meeting his friends, including Phil Niekro, who lived across the street and, along with a brother, Joe, went on to pitch in the major leagues. On the way home, Havlicek would run all the way downhill, dodging trees, falling often.
"But maybe I developed the instincts for all the shuffling in basketball," he wrote in his book.
The discipline to keep running, keep working, came naturally, he said, perhaps from watching his parents labor in their store. Frank Havlicek — a fan of soccer, a game John didn't play — seldom had time to attend his son's basketball, football or baseball games at Bridgeport High School, in the Ohio River village of Bridgeport, where he was heavily recruited for basketball. (Its gymnasium was named for him in 2007.)
According to Lucas, Havlicek worked diligently at everything, including his college studies. He was bewildered by Lucas's reliance on his memory skills, fearing that his roommate would become academically ineligible and "ruin our team."
As a professional, Havlicek was so focused on avoiding body fat that he typically arrived at training camp slimmed down and had to "eat his way back to his playing weight," Heinsohn said.
"But he could do things like that because he was so darned disciplined," he added.
Havlicek was a man of such preparation and routine that he folded his socks on a hanger in the locker room before slipping into his game uniform.
In an interview, Ryan, Havlicek's co-author, who covered the Celtics for The Boston Globe, called him "the all-time standard of stamina, the essence of moving without the ball and the greatest sixth man in history." He added that Havlicek too often "falls between the cracks" of historical measure when compared to generational peers like Oscar Robertson and Jerry West.
One Good Arm Against the Knicks
In Boston, Havlicek was never undervalued after his rookie year, Heinsohn said. More than anything, the Celtics could count on him to play hard and hurt, as he did in another Eastern Conference final seventh game, coached by Heinsohn, against the Knicks in 1973.
Earlier in the series, Havlicek had run into a screen set by Dave DeBusschere, the Knicks' bruising power forward, separating his right shoulder. After sitting out one game, Havlicek labored through the last three games, reduced to mainly using his weaker left hand.
"His right arm was dangling — most guys wouldn't have even been out there," Heinsohn said.
The injury caught up to Havlicek in Game 7, when he was able to make only one shot and score 4 points as the Celtics lost a seventh game in the postseason at home for the first time. The Knicks, with Lucas in their lineup, went on to win the N.B.A. championship.
The Celtics won the N.B.A. championship title the next season, defeating the Milwaukee Bucks led by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in seven games. On a rejuvenated Boston team featuring Cowens, Paul Silas and Jo Jo White (who died last year at 71), Havlicek was voted most valuable player of the finals.
Bill Bradley, the former Knicks star and United States senator who had the burden of guarding Havlicek in the late-1960s and ′70s, called him the "quintessential Celtic — unselfish and loyal."
"For 10 years, John Havlicek was my toughest opponent in one of the biggest rivalries in the league," Bradley said in a statement on Friday. "Night after night, he was the epitome of constant motion. He only needed half a step to beat me, which he usually did."
Havlicek maintained a low basketball profile after retiring from the Celtics, splitting his time between New England and Florida with his wife, Beth (Evans) Havlicek, whom he had met at Ohio State and married in 1967.
An avid golfer, Havlicek continued the work he had begun during basketball off-seasons, as the vice president of the International Manufacturing & Marketing Corporation in Columbus, Ohio. He also started a company, John Havlicek All Sports Products, and owned Wendy's franchises.
Havlicek is survived by his wife; a son, Chris, who played basketball at the University of Virginia; and a daughter, Jill Havlicek Buchanan, a high school basketball and lacrosse player who also played lacrosse at Virginia and married Brian Buchanan, a former major league player.
While Havlicek was at first glance no imposing specimen on a basketball court, he had the sinewy look of the long line of mine workers on his mother's side. In a 2009 interview with The New York Times, he scoffed at the notion that his era's best would struggle athletically against the more high-flying modern-era players.
The game, he said, was still about executing fundamental basketball skills and the willingness to run opponents into submission.
"I certainly think we could compete, and given the same latitude" as modern players — "wraparound dribbles, three or four steps to the rim — we would be even better," he said. "For every dunk they'd get on us, we'd probably get two backdoor layups on them."

A 22-year-old unemployed man who pleaded guilty to several cannabis charges has six weeks to pay the District 'A' Traffic Court a $2,500 fine.
Acting Magistrate Sandra Rawlins imposed the amount on Christopher Anderson Caesar of Champaign Land, Martindales Road, St Michael today.
The cannabis, which weighed 24 grammes and had an estimated street value of $310, was found in his home when police executed a search warrant yesterday.
Caesar was charged with possession, possession with intent to supply and trafficking of the drug, as well as possession of a grinder which was used as apparatus for the misuse of the drug.
After explaining to the acting magistrate his reasons for having the illicit substance, he was slapped with the fine for the trafficking charge. He will spend three months in prison if he doesn't pay up by October 24.
Caesar must also perform 240 hours of community service by January next year on the possession charge.
He was reprimanded and discharged for the other offences.

Just about everyone in this social media driven world who has a smartphone with a built in camera can snap pretty decent photos, including ones of themselves. In fact, self-portrait shots are all the rage on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram.
But, let's face it (no pun intended) the term "self-portrait" sounds old. So, of course, we have a new snappy word for it. Originally coined in Australia in 2002, the word 'selfie' didn't take off until 2012, when self-portrait shots started flooding social media sites. The Oxford English Dictionary even chose the popular Aussie term as the Word of the Year in 2013.
Anyone can snap a selfie, but why not take one like a professional photographer would, and stand out like a work of art?
A professional photographer takes time to consider lighting and composition before taking a shot.
For example, your selfie doesn't have to be your face. It can be any part of you. Think outside the box to stir up intrigue—but keep it classy!
Use your camera's cropping tool. This way you can zoom in on your face, cut away an extended arm, which makes it so obvious your photo is a selfie, and minimize a busy background.
Use natural light instead of the camera's flash. It's far more flattering. You can also play around with the camera filters on your phone. Light is a mood influencer. Experiment with different filters to create interesting ambient effects.
Speaking of natural, try to pose in a casual, relaxed way. Or snap your photo a bit off-center. You don't want your selfie to look like a mug shot.
If you want to stand out from the typical social media photo clutter out there, be creative. Make some photo art. And have fun.

Sushi Sei
Sushi Sei is an upscale Japanese restaurant a bit outside the city center in Buda. Popular types of raw seafood dominate the menu: sashimi, maki (cut sushi rolls), nigiri (mounds of rice topped with fish filet), and chirashi (fish scattered over vinegared rice in a bowl). Apart from the typical tuna, salmon, and prawn options, Sushi Sei's impressively broad fish selections also include eel, sea bass, octopus, squid, and salmon roe.
The chirashi bowl (€23) is a good way to sample a cross-section of the most interesting cuts of fish. During the summer, cold soba (buckwheat) noodles dipped in a dashi, soy, and mirin-based sauce (€8) are a reviving way to round off the meal. Although mainly a seafood restaurant, non-seafood fans can order excellently-prepared tonkatsu (€8), karaage (€8), and yakitori (€7).
In part due to the sheer size of the large space, which rarely gets more than half full, Sushi Sei's interior can feel a bit uninviting, but the restaurant is a good option if you're looking for an elaborate meal of sushi. Sushi Sei is slightly cheaper than Fuji, a comparably upscale sushi place not far from here.

But the company announced that votes were still being counted and a verdict would not be delivered on Friday.
Tensions have built over the past few months at the £810million mini-conglomerate, a biomass supplier and provider of engineering and management services to customers such as Network Rail.
It is the former holding company of Eddie Stobart Logistics and has a stake in that separately listed firm.
Tinkler was sacked from the board last month after he launched a bid to oust chairman Iain Ferguson and replace him with Philip Day, the billionaire owner of retail group Edinburgh Woollen Mill.
He claimed employees had lost confidence in the board and wanted change.
Tinkler, who owns nearly 8 per cent of the company, had support from 5.5 per cent shareholder and former Stobart director, Allan Jenkinson, and star fund manager Neil Woodford, who holds 20 per cent.
There was a further twist before the meeting as Stobart announced that chief financial officer Richard Laycock had decided to stand down.
A search for his successor has begun.
Chief executive Warwick Brady told investors Stobart had made "significant progress" across its divisions and would continue to focus on its ambition to double the value of the business by 2022.
Ferguson said: "It is an honour to chair Stobart, one of the iconic British brands. It is a role that I take enormous pride and responsibility in.
"You never want disputes to impact on the business. However, it is important that debate happens in a transparent way. There are hugely important principles at stake. This is not just about Stobart, but about how companies are run for all stakeholders; for shareholders, staff and society.
"I firmly believe boards have a duty to deliver a positive impact in what they do and consider the interests of the many, not just the few. Directors must be truly independent and use their power and resources to benefit all stakeholders."

Southern Pacific 4449 & Pere Marquette 1225
The Southern Pacific 4449 came in from the Oregon Rail Heritage Foundation to join the Pere Marquette 1225 at the Train Festival 2009. Though the weather wasn't very good (cloudy and rainy), the turn-out seemed pretty good and our photography obscured by the throngs of people hovering around the locomotives. The SP4449 had made a couple runs over the last two days and picked-up from branches in the process. The crew was out cleaning off that debris and the soot as the guests toured the cab. Unfortunately the PM1225 was cold as they ran into a mechanical issue and decided to bench the 400-ton locomotive.

The optimization process involves identifying bottlenecks in applications, then using techniques to remove them.
There are a number of steps in the optimization process:
take performance readings from your application
analyze the readings to locate the bottleneck
identify the types of optimization that are appropriate
select and apply an optimization
take performance readings to ensure the optimization works.
The steps are shown in Figure 3.1.
The optimization process is likely to reveal a series of different bottlenecks, so you might have to go through the process a number of times to remove them all. See Bottlenecks move between processors.

ESI's senior analyst Alexandra Stiglmayer was one of the speakers at an conference on security challenges for Europe in Zagreb, Croatia, discussing the challenge of irregular migration to the EU. She outlined the inadequacy of current EU migration and asylum policies and proposed a new approach that would be spearheaded by a voluntary coalition of EU member states. The conference was organised by RACVIAC, the Centre for Security Cooperation in South-East Europe, in partnership with the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung in Croatia and the Institute for Development and International Relations (IRMO) Zagreb.
Alexandra suggested that the coalition sets up a joint reception and asylum application centre in Spain, which has seen increased levels of irregular sea arrivals this and last year. In this centre, most asylum claims should be resolved in quick, but thorough procedures within two months; those who qualify for asylum should be relocated to the other participating member states; and those whose claims are rejected should be returned home directly from Spain, in a joint operation. She said the coalition could negotiate take-back agreements with the main countries of origin, applying only to new arrivals and offering the partner countries real incentives including legal access to work and study.
Alexandra also mentioned the urgent need to improve the implementation of the EU-Turkey refugee agreement in Greece. She said the reception conditions on Greek islands were still inacceptable, more than two-and-a-half years after the agreement was concluded, and that the Greek government has still not set up a sufficient number of appeals committees so that only few asylum procedures are ever completed. As a result, only few people are returned to Turkey or to their home countries, which encourages other migrants and refugees to cross over to Greece, risking their lives.
Alexandra shared her panel with Prof. Murat Erdogan from the Turkish-German University in Istanbul and Filip Dragovic, an independent expert on migration. It was moderated by Senada Selo-Sabic.

Dessert Wars, the largest sweets event in South Florida, returns this Saturday, January 21. Think of it as a pop-up version of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. From Sweet Melody ice cream to Happylicious cookie dough and Nummies baked goods, more than 30 vendors that specialize in all things sugary will compete at this third-annual festival.
This year's event will be hosted at the FIU Arena, a 5,000-seat indoor stadium. It will offer an individual sampling station for each shop, giving ticketholders the chance to taste a few sweets from each, including Nanndi, Chill'N, Circus Eats, and Chocolate Divas.
Expect cupcakes, ice cream, cookies, brownies, doughnuts, and other confections during the two-hour fest, which runs from 5 to 7 p.m.
"We have always planned to move it around the city each year to a new location," managing director Brad Matthews says. Last year's fest took place at the BankUnited Center in Coral Gables. "This year, FIU has a brand-new multimillion-dollar courtyard at their arena. It also gives us much more space than we have had in years past."
Don't forget it's war after all. Guests can expect to receive a ballot to rank every vendor on a scale from one to three. The vendor with the highest score will win.
For the 2017 event, ticket prices jumped to $20, a five-dollar increase from last year. However, attendees have the opportunity to enjoy treats from 35 dessert sellers, up from 22 last year. Each ticket includes 20 vouchers, which can be traded for dessert samplings. More will be available for purchase at the event.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
The ticket price also includes a personal to-go box, allowing each guest to snag a few treats for the road.
Matthews expects about 1,000 attendees and for tickets to sell out in advance.

Are you full of confidence or have you ever suffered from Imposter Syndrome?
First I typed 'Imposter Syndrome' into google and started reading this page from Wikipedia. We all know why we should never ever google our symptoms when we are sick. We get more anxious and often diagnose ourselves with a serious disease, then we totally freak out about the false belief. Oh Sooo human! So naturally I have just find out I suffer Imposter Syndrome! Huh? I think. Occasionally. Now, say it, you think I have hypochondria.
I guess suffering from our mindset is a part of human life. The mindset depends on what happens to us and around us. This is the external circumstances of life that form our mind. How do we respond to external suffering is what happens inside. We get hurt. We get criticized. Our mind starts to fear, doubt and question our own worth. This infected mind convince our heart that we do not deserve success we've achieved. No one wants to suffer, but anyone can suffer from Imposter syndrome sometimes, somewhere, somehow.
To all of you out there suffering Imposter Syndrome and to many high-achieving females, who believe they are not intelligent:
You are more than good enough and you get better every day. Give up the right to criticise yourself. Praise yourself. See the perfection in all your genius. Approve of who you are. Don't judge yourself. You are both good and great at all times.

I went through the DS106 Assignment Repository to browse through different assignments, and there were a few that caught my eye. First, I came across an assignment about making a gif of the "Best Sports Play" of the past year. This was an assignment that interested me, and I currently have the tools need to complete this, as seen below. I think we are going to do a lot of projects that incorporate making gifs throughout the semester, and I think that is a very important skill when it comes to digital storytelling.
The next project I noticed was "Turbo Charged Animated GIF." While I currently don't have the tools to complete this, I feel I will learn how to work with something like this (creating separate animation zones in one image) through different projects throughout the semester. I think these skills are important as well to add diversity to my animation ability by being able to animate specific sections of an image, as opposed to either the whole thing, or turning a clip of a video into a gif.

BECKET, Mass. — Jacob's Pillow, the oldest dance festival in the United States and always eclectic and international in taste, began in the early 1940s. But its founding director, Ted Shawn, had been here since 1931, and when he died in 1972, still at the helm, he left the festival with archival materials that went back to his own early days in dance.
This year, the 20th anniversary of public access to the archives, Blake's Barn, the building that houses them, has been greatly expanded as a result of a grant from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and a state development agency, as well as gifts from individual donors. The Reading Room is three times its former size, with more storage and exhibition space, and there are video editing facilities downstairs. The archives now bear the name of Norton Owen, who has overseen the collection since 1990.
Mr. Owen is himself an invaluable piece of Pillow history. He came from Alabama as a dance student and has been with the festival for four decades, serving in various administrative jobs before taking charge of the archives. When I visited last week, he lightly pointed out the significance of a poster for "Dances of the Ages," a Shawn film dating from 1913. Dance literature often claims that Shawn (1889-1971) was not serious about dance until he partnered and married the celebrated modern dancer-choreographer Ruth St. Denis in 1915, but as Mr. Owen noted, this poster shows otherwise. And yes, some footage from the film is in the archives.
When Shawn married St. Denis, their immediate progeny were a school and a company, which both bore the name Denishawn. It was a crucial institution for American dance: Not only did the company tour extensively, but Denishawn idioms were also taught from coast to coast. The style combined aspects of ethnic dance, spectacle, ballet, a new genre called "music visualization" and more. Downstairs at the archives are Denishawn costumes (some in trunks marked "Ziegfeld Follies"); so is a 1920s photograph of an ambitious young Denishawn dancer named Martha Graham, partnered by Robert Gorham. Nearby is a larger picture of Graham the world legend, not long before her death in 1991 at the age of 96.
Though both were beauties, St. Denis and Shawn were sexually a mismatch; their marriage did not last. But the Denishawn legacy did. Its dance aesthetic found a sequel in the range of dance that Shawn presented at the Pillow: European and American ballet, flamenco, Indian dance and modern dance of all sorts.
Since his death, the institution's sweep has only grown. Many of the Pillow performances have been preserved on film, and some are now viewable online though an interactive video feature. The only footage I know of George Balanchine's "The Gods Go A-Begging," danced by Nora Kaye and Hugh Laing, is from a 1951 Pillow performance. Here, too, are the pas de deux from Balanchine's long-lost "Le Baiser de la Fée" (1937), danced in 1951 by Tanaquil Le Clercq and Nicholas Magallanes, and the same two dancing the pas de deux created for them by Balanchine in "La Valse" (1951).
The archive is also a resource for the present and the recent past. There are multiple screens, and when I visited, one was continually playing a video of the Sarasota Ballet dancing Frederick Ashton's "Monotones." The people watching videos or consulting books included dancers from the companies performing at Jacob's Pillow that week, members of the public and Pillow students. The building is not set apart like some cloister; it is centrally placed amid the Pillow's village of buildings, with open doors. After the 11-week festival ends next Saturday, the archives can still be visited throughout the year by appointment.
I had not known that any 1950s footage of Merce Cunningham's "Septet" (1953) existed, but here are two minutes of it — silent but telling. There are also the sole surviving film clips of Cunningham's "Banjo," which had its premiere the same year. After I asked to see the Royal Danish Ballet dancing August Bournonville's "Napoli" in 1955, I found that the DVD began with something far rarer: an 1896 Danish version of the 19th-century classic "Coppélia" (choreographed principally by Hans Beck), which I had never seen.
On this visit, I met Ann Hutchinson Guest, the authority on Laban dance notation, now in her 90s; downstairs is a photograph of her as a child, taking a class with the great choreographer Bronislava Nijinska. This archive brims with testimony to people's past lives. One photo shows Alvin Ailey, long before he was famous, dancing a work by Lester Horton in 1954; another shows Joseph Pilates (1883-1967) with some of his equipment in the 1940s, decades before his physical fitness methods gained renown. All of these people spent time at the Pillow; the archive reflects not their celebrity, but their artistic labors here in the Berkshires.
Especially vivid are the color photographs taken outdoors on the grounds. It's one thing to watch black-and-white silent film clips from 60 years ago, but quite another to see the same dancers (Le Clercq and Magallanes in the "Baiser" pas de deux, Cunningham and his chief partner, Carolyn Brown) in vibrant color, posing in costume in the sunshine as if it were yesterday.

Poop. What can I say? I am pretty freaking sick, and it's slowly working its way out of my delicate system. I haven't been "normal" sick in years. I have been "West Nile" sick, but not just "flu" or "cold" sick. I almost welcome having something that is easily remedied. ALMOST.
I am certain I will be extending my 34 in 30 to accommodate my initial goal. I would like to think that I am strong enough to gesso, prep and paint while I am sick, but honestly, I am not. I feel beat. It's a bummer, but I am not going to dwell on it. I will just keep jotting down ideas and the moment I am well enough to produce, watch out!
Anyhoo, that's all I have for today.
Be well.

Pastoruri Glacier…or, what's left of it
**An older version of this post originally appeared in 2015 on the old legacy blog. We hope you enjoy this updated version!
Most trips to Huaraz include a side trip to Pastoruri Glacier, one of the few glaciers remaining in tropical South America. Except that nowadays, it's more correct to say, what's left of the glacier.
Pastoruri Glacier sits at 17,000 feet above sea level and can be reached by bus from Huaraz. This is not a short drive; at least two hours over gradually diminishing roads to the glacier. Some people apparently bike this distance, we saw at least a few people who were doing so. I don't know who or what these people are; they must be stranded so near a yellow sun that it gives them super powers. I was not entirely sure the bus would make it.
The Glacier is not what it once was. Sylvia visited here some years back, well before the 'Gringo Friendly" walkway you see in the pictures was installed, and the walk was longer and rougher. She was saddened by what she saw; the glacier is now a fragment of what it was, diminished by the rise of global temperatures. Everywhere around the world they say the same thing; at Salkantay three years ago, our guides told us that the snow-capped peaks they remember in boyhood have receded. I won't get too deeply into politics but if you are one of those global warming 'skeptics' – well, go ahead and take a look at the pictures.
Go anywhere around the world where there are glaciers and you will see the same. I saw blocks of ice the size of refrigerators marooned on the rocks, slowly melting away. In our lifetimes, it is likely there will be no more Pastoruri at all.
The hike itself was easy but the elevation was a physical presence…just stepping off the bus I felt as if I would pass out. So we proceeded at a VERY slow pace and in time adjusted pretty nicely. The scenery was awesome, and as it was off-season (and late in the day) the place was almost empty. You could see spaces for thirty or more buses so in season this place must be a complete zoo.
We must have been the last group of tourists to the place; on the way back all the women selling water and candies jumped on the bus with us, and along the way we met the guy renting horses, galloping down the road with his charges, headed back to the home pasture. And thus ended the first day of adventuring…leaving us to prepare for the main attraction…the four day Santa Cruz Trek.

WASHINGTON - The Gallaudet University women's basketball team wrapped up a busy stretch of its schedule here Monday night at the Field House where the Bison lost 61-50 to Morrisville State College in a North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC) contest. This was Gallaudet's fourth game in six days after several games were rescheduled due to snow.
A spirited rally by Gallaudet, midway through the fourth quarter, pulled the Bison to within four points, 49-45, with three minutes left in regulation. GU (9-8, 8-5 NEAC) was unable to get any closer as Morrisville's Charlotte Walker (21 points) made back-to-back jumpers to increase the margin to eight with two minutes to play.
Three different Bison finished in double figures led by sophomore forward Kelsey Hudson's (Blissfield, Mich.) double-double as she recorded 14 points and 13 rebounds. Senior guard Zamica Gage (Washington, D.C.) and sophomore guard Sabina Shysh (Tucson, Ariz.) scored 11 apiece. Gage grabbed seven rebounds, made five steals, four assists and had one block. Senior forward Danielle Morris (St. Louis, Mich.) brought down a team-high 10 rebounds and made two blocks.
Gallaudet controlled the game early before Morrisville (12-6, 8-3 NEAC) doubled up the Bison in the second quarter and took a 30-24 lead into halftime. The Mustangs finished the game by going 6 of 8 from the free throw line in the final minute.
GU cut the lead to two, 32-30, at the 7:42 mark in the third quarter but the Mustangs responded with a 14-2 lead to build some distance away from the Bison.
Walker led the Mustangs in scoring and grabbed seven rebounds while Jordan Anderson and Caitlynn Adams (nine rebounds, three blocks) scored 11 and 10 points, respectively.
- Senior guard Danielle Warren (San Jose, Calif.) scored seven points
- This is Hudson's second double-double of the season
- The Bison scored 23 points off 18 Mustang turnovers
- Morrisville outrebounded Gallaudet by seven, 48-41
- The four team blocks are the second most made in a game this season for the Bison
- GU has dropped its last two games against Morrisville
- The Mustangs beat the Bison 75-49 in New York last season
- Gallaudet holds a 4-3 series edge over Morrisville since the Bison joined the NEAC
- This was the Mustangs' first win at the Field House
Gallaudet will rest before this weekend's away trip to New York where the Bison will begin at Keuka College (3-13, 2-8 NEAC) on Saturday, Feb. 6, at 3 p.m.

Toddler fatally hit by car while mom stares at phone
A 2-year-old girl was killed last month in China while her mother stared at her smartphone, leading many Chinese social media users to call for a change, the New York Times reports.
Surveillance video (Warning: graphic content) posted online on Oct. 20 shows the toddler walking near an SUV while her mother is on her phone a few steps behind her, reports McClatchy.
The SUV starts moving, running over the little girl as she walks in front of it. The mother doesn't appear to look up from her phone until her daughter had already been hit.
The girl, identified as Tutu, died before an ambulance could arrive. Police determined the driver wasn't at fault because Tutu was in his blind spot. The video spread all over the Chinese web, leading to outrage, New China reports.
"If the mobile phone was so much fun, then why had you given birth to the child?" one person writes online. "Everyone should be alerted not to play with a smartphone while walking. God knows how regretful the mother is," writes another.
A local prosecutor's office calls it "heart-wrenching." "Put down your phone. Save the children!" it posts online. At least two other 2-year-olds were killed by cars while their mothers were looking at their phones in the past 15 months in China.
"There's not enough discussion or awareness" of "potential dangers," a smartphone addiction expert tells the Times. (Two women go blind in one eye after using their smartphones.)

Step-by-step description of how to control lights in your smart home with a wall switch. This post includes information on the equipment, steps, and set-up needed to accomplish this outcome.
This recipe outlines the steps to control lights that are connected to a single switch. It provides the steps to accomplish the control via voice commands to your smart speaker.
Here's the recipe:
- Smart home hub – I recommend that you skip using WiFi switches, and jump right to setting up a smart home hub so that you can use switches that support Zigbee and Z-Wave. This will set you up for more smart home devices in the future. The hub will also come with an app that you can use to control your smart home from your phone.
- Smart speaker – The smart speaker will be a key I/O (inout / output) for controlling your switch. The Echo smart speakers include access to the Alexa app for your phone, where you can control your smart switch.
- Smart wall switch – You will need a smart wall switch as the primary device for this function. Here is a solid GE single smart switch, here is a great GE Smart Dimmer Switch, and an overview of some switch options and concepts.
- How a switch works – This quick tutorial will give you a basic understanding of how a switch works, which will make wiring the smart switch a little more intuitive.
- Wiring – Wiring a single smart wall switch is not has hard as you think. Don't let it this step dissuade you from doing the project.
- Wall cover plates – You will probably need a new wall cover plate after you install the switch. The possibilities are endless, but you can usually find what you need on Amazon. Just search for 2-gang, 3-gang, etc.
- Integration – The smart GE Smart Switch will connect to the SmartThings application on your phone. Follow the process in the SmartThings app to connect it.

Mackey v. Bd. of Trustees of the Cal. State University
Five African-American women on the basketball team at California State University at San Marcos (CSUSM) sued their head coach and the Board of Trustees of the California State University, claiming the coach engaged in race-based discrimination and retaliation: derogatorily referring to them as "the group," reduced their playing time, afforded them fewer opportunities, punished them more severely and generally singled them out for harsher treatment as compared to their non-African-American teammates. The trial court granted both motions for summary judgment filed by the Board, concluding plaintiff Danielle Cooper's claims were untimely and that the remaining plaintiffs could not show a triable issue on the merits. The Court of Appeal reversed summary judgment and directed the court to enter a new order granting summary adjudication on some, but not all, of plaintiffs' claims: plaintiffs cannot sue the Board under 42 United States Code sections 1981 and 1983 because CSUSM was not a "person" subject to suit under those statutes. With regard to the remaining claims brought by the four "freshmen plaintiffs," summary adjudication was improper as to their racial discrimination claims under title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Unruh Civil Rights Act. The Board did not meet its moving burden to show the lack of a triable issue as to whether these plaintiffs suffered a materially adverse action under circumstances suggesting a racially discriminatory motive. For similar reasons, summary adjudication was improper on title VI retaliation claims brought by three of the four freshmen plaintiffs, Lynette Mackey, Kianna Williams, and Sierra Smith: each of these women complained about the coach's discriminatory treatment and indicated how they suffered adverse consequences as a result. The Court reached a different conclusion as to plaintiff Crystal Hicks, who never made a complaint and denied facing any consequences as a result of complaints made by her peers. View "Mackey v. Bd. of Trustees of the Cal. State University" on Justia Law

Then a mere four months after the decision was made to develop into a Phase I" inBloom state, White instantly introduced he was withdrawing from the mission, after dad and mom and state board members had erupted in protest about the plan's violation of student privacy. According to the dissertation titled FACULTY AND STUDENT OUT-OF-CLASSROOM INTERACTION: STUDENT PERCEPTIONS OF QUALITY OF INTERACTION by Rosalind Veronica Alderman, they tried to find out what college students thought about the advantages of interacting with their college within the classroom. On the opposite hand, the Bologna Process is a mutual recognition pact among European nations designed to greater the standard of training in Europe.
If your student loans aren't in default status, going again to highschool may help you defer your student loan payments, but if your scholar loans are in default, it may be very tough to qualify for financial help of any variety. We are also dedicated to making sure our training and training programs are aligned to the state's employment, expertise and financial priorities. It really is all about angle – your son can be surrounded by many distractions, particularly the ones who don't like their jobs.
I am positively positive that the varsity districts have taken all the pros and cons into consideration, despite the fact that they know that the uniforms are an unfair additional expense for fogeys who pay taxes for a free public schooling. For extra info on the award program, please go to the California Department of Education's California Teachers of the Year Web page.
The 90+ civil rights, disabilities, training and group organizations that comprise the Coalition for Teaching Quality (of which AACTE is a member) oppose weakening the definition of a extremely certified trainer. The Department of Education Organization Act remoted the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare into the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services. Oregon at the moment sanctions these checks to fulfill scholar commencement necessities, however does not embrace them at school accountability techniques.
From my perspective, it's onerous to evaluate the severity of problems in America's public colleges, though there appears to be important problems in California's public school system, the place the state government is nearly bankrupt and subsequently cuts cash for training seemingly each day. This feedback will be used to inform the Minister's and the Tasmanian Government's decision making in growing new education legislation.

A little late after the closing of VMworld, but, I had to post something and went straight from show floor to wineries for the weekend.
There was a huge showing at VMworld this year (17,000+ based on numbers we were given) and the Xiotech booth was swarmed, Storage Texan standing on a bench waving iPads helped that allot as well. Amazing crowd and even a nice showing for the fun run on Sunday…lots of headwind on the way to Ft. Point.
The non VMware sessions I went to were all sales and that was the comments I heard from everyone, hopefully all the vendors can heed that information and make sessions more "informative" and less sales. The non sales sessions I went to were very informational and a general tone of sessions were the core pitfalls of implementing (whether that be virtual servers or desktops) and one that really stands out is the one that VMware has least control over, storage (it's hard to speed up something that is not fast enough unless you fix it at the source). This has been a general tone in all partner meetings and VMUG's I have attended as of late, to include Briforum in Chicago (Brian Madden's geek rich meeting, held this spring).
The normal trend of storage vendors is to just throw cache, solid state, spindle count, short stroking or other "tricks of the trade", that end up costing you money, more money, more money and power consumption as well as unused footprint of storage (empty disks you cannot use).
There are a number of bloggers discussing options, but, some of the best I have read are by the likes of @StorageWonk with his posting "Removing the Performance Strangelhold" and @StorageTexan with his posting "VDI – Why Performance Matters".
Point being, without pontificating, know what your performance needs are (aka, can we say "View Planner") and ensure your vendors are behind you in your efforts (specifically here, that your storage vendor can perform, AND SCALE).
