GECDSB School Based Learning Sessions (SBL)
Thursday March 2nd, 2017
Thanks for inviting me to learn with you on your school based learning day! The group was energetic and excited to learn about meaningful manipulative use, spatial reasoning, some counting principles, visualizing numerical expressions, some multiplication/division and the importance of concreteness fading!
Here's a summary of what we explored today throughout all three 100-minute blocks:
The GECDSB Mathematics Strategy
Mathematical Proficiencies
The full GECDSB Mathematics Vision is here.
Paying Attention to Spatial Reasoning
Warm-Up: How Do You See the Dots?
We did a quick Dot-Card warm-up asking you to visualize how you saw a series of dots on the screen. We went around the table and it seemed that everyone had a different perspective.
Here's some of the ways you might have visualized the dots:
Counting Principles
We briefly discussed the importance of counting and quantity principles like subitizing and unitizing. A full summary is below:
Counting Principles – Counting and Cardinality
A Progression of Counting and Quantity Having spent the majority of my professional life teaching secondary math and mentoring intermediate (grades 7 to 10) math teachers, my new role as K-12 math consultant has led to a wealth of knowledge that I wish I had during my years spent in the classroom. My conversations about student learning needs with intermediate and senior math teachers always se...
A Spatial Reasoning Task
Both the primary and junior groups were interested in some tasks that might help students with their spatial reasoning skills.
One that came to mind immediately was from NRich.org:
A Puzzling Cube
Here are the six faces of a cube – in no particular order:
Here are three views of the cube:
Can you deduce where the faces are in relation to each other and record them on the net of this cube?
You can use this interactivity to try out your ideas. You will still have to visualize the cube folded up!
Check out the interactive version here.
Then we took some time to explore a 3 act math task with a very low-floor and high-ceiling, called the Airplane Problem:
Airplane Problem – Trip to Toronto [3 Act Math Task]
How many seats are there?
From Subitizing and Unitizing to Multiplicative and Algebraic Thinking This 3 act math task was designed specifically to have a very low floor in order to be useful from primary grades and a high ceiling with an opportunity for many extensions so the task can be used in junior and intermediate classrooms. While I believe this task can touch on many different specific expectations at man...
In the airplane problem, we made predictions, explored subitizing and unitizing.
After the predictions for number of seats, I challenged the group to:
Create any numerical expression that could represent the seat configuration (or array of seats) for the airplane and use your manipulatives to represent your expression concretely.
Then, in number talk fashion, we had each person share what numerical expression(s) they saw. Here's a few screenshots of what came out:
Visualizing the Order of Operations
With our intermediate friends, we explored the Airplane Problem and also looked at different ways to write the seat configuration using as many different numerical expressions as possible. Some great conversations were had and it led us to think about some of our order of operations work in the intermediate grades.
Here's some of where it led:
We also took some time to visualize the order of operations in various ways including these:
See the whole playlist of visualizing order of operations videos here.
Extending to Multiplication and Division
Finally, with the junior group, we explored the Donut Delight 3 act math task where we played with multiplication to predict how many donuts there were in the "double hundred dozen" box and then used repeated subtraction to lead to a flexible division algorithm for division when we tried to find how many layers there were.
Donut Delight [3 Act Math Task]
How many doughnuts are there?
Sparking Curiosity to Fuel Sense Making of Multiplication and Division When one of our district math leads, Brennan Jones asked me to brainstorm some ways we could help his staff engage in some professional development around division and incorporate a 3 act math task into the learning, I immediately thought of some contexts where arrays, base ten blocks and area models could be used to h...
While we didn't explore the progression of multiplication explicitly, the following post might be useful to extend some of the thinking from the donut delight task.
The Progression of Multiplication
Arrays and Area Models to The Standard Algorithm Did you know that the words "array" and "area model" appear in the Grade 1-8 Math Curriculum a combined 22 times? Not only do arrays and area models help to support the development of proportional reasoning when we formally introduce multiplication in primary, but they also help us understand how to develop strategies that lead to building numbe...
Vertical Non-Permanent Surfaces
During the second 100-minute block, some discussion arose from the use of whiteboards – also known as "vertical non-permanent surfaces (VNPS)". Peter Liljedahl from Simon Fraser University has done extensive research on Vertical Non-Permanent Surfaces (VNPS) including his paper Building Thinking Classrooms. In his research, he has found that standing and writing on non-permanent surfaces like chalkboards or whiteboards is very effective for engagement, time-to-task and time-on-task in mathematics class:
Concreteness Fading
We attempted to summarize the use of manipulatives on a continuum called "Concreteness Fading". While the name suggests that concrete manipulatives fade away over time, it is important to remember that they fade away with one layer of abstraction and then reappear as a new layer is "piled" on.
Hope you folks found this professional learning experience useful.
I'd be delighted to come back and learn alongside you all again sometime soon!

R. Kelly & Jeezy Want To 'Spend That'
R. Kelly is aiming for a huge win with the release of his new album "Black Panties" on December 10 via RCA.
Kellz called on 2 Chainz, Ludacris, Kelly Rowland, Jeezy, Future, Juicy J and Migos to turn this project into a hit.
The album surfaced online on Friday and since then urban music fans have been praising the "Love Letter" singer for putting up a very solid effort.
One of the most acclaimed cuts on "Black Panties" is called "Spend That" and features Jeezy. It was produced by Dj Mustard.
Seven years after hitting the jackpot with their collaboration "Go Getta," Kellz and the Snowman try to recapture the magic on this sure-to-become club anthem.
The "Fiesta" artist believes in the song so much that he is already teasing with the remix just as he did ten years ago with "Ignition."
"Spend That" has hit written all over it but we will have to wait and see if it has the same kind of massive crossover appeal "Go Getta" showcased in 2006-2007.
It looks more and more probable that R. Kelly will benefit from some word of mouth style promo for "Black Panties" to reach its full potential since the album did not even get a proper music video yet, just nine days before the official release date.
The buzz surrounding the Lady Gaga collaboration came at the right time for the Pied Piper of R&B, it helped remind people that at age 46 and twenty years after hitting it big in the music industry he still has it.
If "Spend That" becomes a single in the upcoming months, it will probably seal the deal for good.
R. Kelly is on top form with "Black Panties," and although the game has changed quite a bit, this veteran remains the same.
If people are willing to look past some of the "crazy shit" as he likes to call them, the album could make some noise in 2014.

On seeing yet another online influencer promoting the awesomeness that is detox tea, I got thinking about the credibility of the fad. I use the term fad loosely, as tea-toxing has been around for many years. In the past, such supplements were limited to the shelves of specialist shops.
However, in today's land of social media, detox teas have been firmly placed in the mainstream. So is it a craze or a fat burning dream?
In the confusing world of weight loss, it is easy to see why many women and men gravitate towards a particular school of lifestyle thought. Gluten free, vegan, ketogenic and paleo are just some of the terms bandied around. For a person struggling with weight loss, it is not uncommon to go through the diet motions. Vegetarian today, Atkins tomorrow! Following a particular discipline, albeit for a short period, gives us a glimpse of hope that we might now, be on the right weight loss track. The thing is, losing weight is not easy, and deep within all of us, and we know it is a simple case of hard work. Perhaps detox teas are just another set of rose-tinted glasses in the frustrating world of dieting.
Specialty versus Supermarket Tea
Most detox teas claim to do just that; detox. They also promise to beat the bloat and burn some pounds. Are these specialty detox teas simply the supermarket herbal ones in an expensive disguise? Perhaps.We can probably agree that herbal teas have some benefits, such as aiding in better sleep (in comparison to regular black tea). Do detox teas really offer anything more than these supermarket options? It could be argued also, that a diet rich in fruit and vegetables, lean meats and fish is enough to detoxify the body.Why then, should we spend money on an unnecessary extra?
A more dark side to some detoxifying teas is the presence of Senna. Senna can irritate the bowel and cause a laxative effect. Weight loss is definitely not worth the price of your precious health.
Many celebrities and insta-influencers have long hailed the taking of such teas in conjunction with healthy lifestyle. I however, have to wonder is it another case of the long suffering dieter trying to fool themselves? What are your thoughts?

I've been trying to write something sensible for quite a while. Can't come up with anything, so instead I'll just post what I've got…
A pile of neatly folded clothing is covering most of my bed. In the last seven years I've seen this sight way too many times. Each time I'm trying to give away more stuff. For years I haven't been buying anything, maybe with the exception of my beloved, super warm downie. This time I promised myself (again!) to choose just the few items that are absolutely essential, and get rid of all the rest. Do I really need two hoodies? Three summer dresses, that I will most likely not wear more than once a year each? A little pile of fancy cardigans is a reminder of my short lived City career. Mum bought them for me, and let's face it, I will probably never buy anything this nice myself. I can't bring myself to give them away.
Most of my possessions can be now fitted into two suitcases. But then there's the 'random stuff', little box with earrings, big box of documents and receipts, a bamboo buddha from Yunnan that comes with me every time I go away for more than a month, a bagful of cables, chargers and batteries. Plus the books. My god, what to do with the books. (It's always the same question. I now have a kindle, but what to do with the existing books??)
So, yes, I'm moving house again. It was so much easier when I had a base for all my stuff at my mum's. Moving to China for six months felt like going on holiday. Just pack some basic stuff, and go. Now everything I own has to go with me.
Just a couple of months after I learned to love the grit, I have to leave the beautiful Peak District behind. It feels quite sad.
The marketing job I was working since leaving uni had to come to an end. I had no love for it left and I felt like I learned everything there was to learn. I wanted a similar arrangement, freelancing part-time with another agency, but this time hopefully for outdoor industry clients. And then I saw an ad for an EpicTV job. I applied, and I got it.
The down-side is that I'm not part-time anymore. The unbelievable plus-side is that my work revolves solely around climbing. The office is in Chamonix.
So, from Sheff to Cham, I have to pack everything once again, get my driving licence sorted, move to France and buy my first car. Learn a new job, meet new people, climb new rock.
Maybe I'm getting older, or maybe Sheff is just a really good place, but for the first time I want to stay almost as much as I want to go. The curiosity still wins, so France, I'm coming for you! But first, I need to do something with that ridiculous pile of clothing covering my bed. And the books. What the hell do I do with the books.
* * *
PS. Everything is sorted. Books stayed with Martin and Kate (thank you!) I've got a driving licence. I don't have a car. Flying to Chamonix tomorrow.


text: Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has announced in a financial results presentation that the company is not planning on holding a large presentation at E3 this year. Iwata gives the reason for this being that the event hosts different groups of people such as gamers, analysts and distributors which all want varying types of information from Nintendo. Therefor the company feels different methods will be needed to convey the appropriate information to said groups. This will result in Nintendo holding smaller events at E3 to individually target each group. The focus is said to be on software for the US market, courtesy of Siliconera. Iwata also said he will not be speaking at E3 as well as adding, "There will be one closed event for American distributors, and we will hold another closed hands-on experience event, for mainly the Western gaming media.†Apart from a new 3D Mario game and a new Mario Kart game for Wii U, Nintendo have not revealed any other information on other games they intend to present at this year's E3.

Mary Waya, influential Malawian netball player
Malawi has one of the best netball teams in the world. Mary Waya was one of the country's best players and is now, at the age of 48, the national team's coach.
Born 25 May 1968, Mary Waya is a Malawian netball player and coach. Waya started playing international-level netball at age 14, and has played in more than 200 representative matches for Malawi. During that time she has competed in two World Netball Championships (1995 and 2007), three Commonwealth Games (1998, 2006 and 2010), and two World Netball Series (2009 and 2010).
Mary Waya came to international prominence during the 2007 World Championships in New Zealand, where the Malawian national team finished 5th, their highest ever placing. She remains the national team's most high-profile player, and was chosen as the flag bearer for the Malawi team at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi.
Listen here to her inspirational story as part of a BBC Radio 4 Interview (10:30/56:19)
Mwai Kumwenda Wins IWGA Athlete of the Year Award
Malawi netballer Mwai Kumwenda has been crowned Athlete of the Year by the International World Games Association (IWGA).
Kumwenda was one of 18 international athletes nominated for the IWGA award, from a cross-section of sports. She was crowned as the clear winner by an online poll.
Kumwenda, who plays professionally for Mainland Tactix in New Zealand, was awarded Player of the Tournament at the Netball World Cup SYDNEY 2015. Her win was backed by impressive statistics – 91% shots on target. With 321 goals in eight games, she was the only player to score over 300 goals.
The 26 year-old shooter was delighted with the win: "I feel so excited and honoured that so many people around the world have voted for me – I really appreciate it."
Kumwenda first played netball aged 15, in her village in Malawi, she is now an international netball star who plays professionally for Mainland Tactix in New Zealand, and she recognises the progress she has made: "This is important for me because netball has been my life from a very young age. I would never have thought, in a million years, that I would win this award.
"This has been a journey – a journey of small steps, with each step dreaming of the next. It has been a journey of great support from all around me – family, friends, coaches, team-mates and most of all my fans around the world. This is also important because, to all those young girls and boys just starting out with the same dream, I would say 'don't give up, get the right people around you and keep working hard'."
Mwai was nominated for the Award by the International Netball Federation. Clare Briegal, CEO, said: "This is great recognition for a superb role model in netball. As well as being a world class athlete, Mwai embodies women's empowerment, and is a fantastic inspiration to so many people all around the world."
Molly Rhone says: "Winning this Award is not only good news for Mwai but for her country, Malawi, and netball in general. Mwai has excelled through hard work and dedication to netball and is really deserving. She is a great role model for young girls and I congratulate her most heartily."
The IWGA is an organisation recognised by the International Olympic Committee. Its principal aim is to develop the popularity of the sports governed by its 37 Member Federations, which includes the International Netball Federation, to improve their prominence through excellent sporting achievements, and to conserve all the traditional values of sport through The World Games, which take place every four years. The 10th World Games will be held in Wroclaw, Poland, from 20-30 July, 2017.


text: This quote is from the "How to get hundreds of yards thread" This fits with my overall management philosophy. I want my employees in any endeavor to be making money like mad, but I want them to be earning it with incentives. If my incentive plan is well structured, we will both make money. I'm curious how many of you use incentive plans and if you do, how you structure them. Thanks, Mike


text: The Inner Temple began as a Templar building in the 12th century. A group of lawyers came to live there in the 13th century as legal advisors to the Templars. When the Templar Order was disbanded, the land was given to the Knights Hospitaller, a holy Order who provided medical aid in Jerusalem. The Hospitallers did not live there, but earned money through rent instead. The lawyers remained in the old buildings, one group occupying the consecrated inner buildings (inner inn), and the other moving into the unconsecrated buildings between the inner inn and the Outer Temple. The former became the Inner Temple and the latter the Middle Temple. By the Elizabethan age it had become a large centre for the teaching and selecting of barristers, and extensive building projects and beautification had taken place there.

Tuesdays 9:30AM
Wednesdays 2:00PM
Thursdays 9:30AM
Saturdays 9:30AM
The games on Thursdays and Saturdays are exclusively Club Draw Games of 14 ends. All members present desiring to bowl will bowl in such games and their bowling teammates will be selected by draw. Whites shall be worn on those days. Members shall not arrange and play in a set up game of their choice during the time of the Draw Game, but a member may practice by herself or himself. All members are eligible to play in such games.
Whites are favored, but not required for the games on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Games on those days will be 14 ends by draw among those wishing to be included in such draw games, but members are free to arrange a set-up game in which they select who their bowling teammates and opponents shall be for that game and the number of ends that will be played. It is recognized that some players may desire to play in a much shorter game than 14 ends.
A Draw Game of 14 ends takes approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes. If you are not prepared to play that long you should not enter the Draw Game because Ieaving early is not fair to those who have come to play the 14 ends. Nevertheless, in the case of injury, exhaustion or emergency a player can of course withdraw from the game, but should make an effort to have a substitute finish the game in his or her place if available.
If you need clarification or have questions please call 619-319-5509 and leave a message and someone will get back to you.

Gear Graphics for PowerPoint
Buy and Download for $10+ (1.42 mb)
Gears – these denote that things are moving, something is happening. Yes, gears mean action.
Have you ever wanted to use animated or non animated gear graphics in your PowerPoint slides?
OK – let's tell you the bad news first! To use gears and animate them in PowerPoint is very
difficult! Why?
Because gears come in all sorts of sizes. And more importantly the teeth of your gears may be of different sizes so they don't move with each other well. You may spend hours trying to sync gears with each other. Fortunately, we solved all these problems for you! We created these special gear graphics for you that animate perfectly all the time. What's more, we animated each of these gears so that you can be sure that they will work perfectly.
Even better, we welcome you to copy these animated gears and paste them in your own slides. What could be easier? And what do you get? Not 1, not 2 – but 6 highly detailed gear styles, each of them in so many sizes! We also mention how many teeth each of these gears have – so that you know exactly how long each of them will take to make a full 360 degree spin!
All these gears are native PowerPoint shapes – you can recolor them, add effects, and do more – all inside PowerPoint. Results which would have taken hours to achieve now take less than a minute! You can get this complete kit for only $10 – you'll save so much time that you can use doing something else! Have fun using the gear graphics, and make your audience take notice! All these gears can be rotated and resized, as required. Since they are essentially pictures, all types of edits that you can do with pictures work with them too!

Series: Preston Brothers Book #2
Author: Darah Lace
Genre: Romance
Blurb: Marcus Preston wants a relationship built on love and trust, but the woman he wants made it clear long ago she's only interested in fun and games. Yet, moving on proves difficult when no one else can erase the memory of the night they shared last summer.
Charlotte Reese doesn't believe in love, marriage, or happily ever afters. An occasional one-night stand is all she needs to take the edge off her loneliness and enhance the bad-girl image she uses to discourage commitment-seeking men' especially Marcus, the only man to melt both her body and her heart melt.
When Charlotte wins Marcus hot off the block of Houston's Most Eligible Bachelor Auction and they're forced to spend the weekend together, she seizes the opportunity to seduce him and extinguish the attraction sizzling between them once and for all. But for Marcus, it's all or nothing. He won't be seduced. Instead, he'll show Charlotte she has more to offer a man than sex.
Thoughts: Things aren't always what they seem….and Marcus learns that the hard way in Bachelor Auction. Both Marcus and Charlotte are fighting their very real desire for each for their own personal reasons. Charlotte isn't interested in anything permanent, and goes above and beyond to portray an image of herself that is fun and fancy free. Marcus on the other hand is interested in anything less! Unfortunately, he has also bought into the whole 'image' Charlotte shows to the world – and he also believes that Charlotte is a little too free with her affections. Their chemistry is not going away though – and when a few of their family and friends get together to set them up by changing Charlotte's bid to win a date with Marcus, the couple winds up spending far more time together than they had anticipated. Marcus slowly finds himself given peeks into the character of the 'real' Charlotte…and he wants to see more!
This is a sweet little romance that has a depth to it that pulls you in slowly and has you really rooting for these two mixed up characters. Both are attracted to each other, yet they never seem able to get their acts together and get over some of their baggage and hang-ups to take a chance on each other. I was a little irked at Marcus for being so willing to believe all the bad publicity and negative image that Charlotte had and fight for what he wanted, but overall I really enjoyed the story and the romance between these two characters.

Sanchez says his special skills will save Fulham
Jose Mourinho might be poised to leave English football but the Premiership's newest manager appears to have been taking lessons from the self-appointed Special One. True, Lawrie Sanchez stopped well short of comparing his status to God yet it was still hard not to be struck by his confidence, particularly after he had begun his tenure as Fulham's caretaker manager with a defeat.
"They said I couldn't beat Spain, couldn't beat Sweden and couldn't beat England," said Sanchez. "So I've proved the impossible is possible. That's why I'm here. That's my unique selling point. If they [the players] want to see what can be done against the odds, then they've only got to look at what I was achieving two weeks ago [with Northern Ireland]. Once they know, 'Yeah, he knows what he's talking about', which I think they do now, then they'll get the rewards that go with it and they'll do it better next time."
If the rhetoric was more stirring than the last days of the Chris Coleman regime, the end result remains in need of improvement. This defeat sucks Sanchez's team ever closer to the drop zone and there were only limited signs that a reversal in form is imminent. Fulham have picked up three points in eight games, although Sanchez could justifiably point to an improvement on Saturday after a very ordinary first-half performance.
"I could have written the script on the first half," he said. "Why? Because I'm a manager and I can see things before they happen. I'd like to think it was calm and constructive [at half-time]. It was pretty much, 'That doesn't work for you, this will, let's do what works for you'. It's an easy decision for the players."
With Reading's winner coming after 15 minutes, it was unfortunate that the Fulham players waited until half-time before implementing the new manager's words of wisdom. Carlos Bocanegra was at fault for the goal, conceding possession inside his own half before Kevin Doyle's cross was converted from close range by Stephen Hunt. Fulham then had to rely on Antti Niemi for several excellent saves, although only an incorrect offside decision denied them an equaliser through Papa Bouba Diop. Michael Brown also hit the crossbar in injury-time.
According to Sanchez, Fulham need five points from their remaining four matches against Blackburn, Arsenal, Liverpool and Middlesbrough to be sure of retaining their Premiership status. The players still seem to be reeling from the sacking of Coleman on Tuesday. "It took us by surprise," said Brown. "Chris Coleman is a great guy, a great manager. For us to put him in that situation, we've all let him down massively and the club as well."
Man of the match Brynjar Gunnarsson (Reading)
Lita lets loose at FA
Leroy Lita has accused Talal El Karkouri of "cheating" and being "an idiot" after receiving a three-match suspension for allegedly aiming a head-butt at the Charlton defender during the 0-0 draw last Monday. The Reading forward insists that he made no contact with El Karkouri and is furious that he has been charged with violent conduct by the Football Association. "The incident against Charlton was embarrassing, you don't need that in the game," said Lita. "I didn't touch him, he went down like an idiot and it was cheating. I would love to see them [the FA] do something about diving. I've only got two games at the end of the season now because of the ban. I spoke to Steve Coppell and he said the decision was pathetic. But that's the FA for you."

Texas' state climatologist (who might be fired if Tricky Ricky gets even more anti-science, eh?) says the current state drought could be part of a longer dry spell lasting until 2020.
Here's part of why:
Forecasters predict dry weather to last long-term beyond the next decade from the La Nina phenomenon that continues to recur, including in the upcoming year, to cool the surface waters of the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean.John Nielsen-Gammon also notes something along the lines of what I've said ... as records get gathered, our baseline of information for "worst," "100-year events," etc. changes.
But, even he didn't mention why La Nina might be stronger ... climate change. Global warming.

Give a break to your hectic schedule and watch hockey live!
As a sport, hockey has received immense popularity over last few years in countries like America. The popularity can be judged from the fact that now people tend to watch hockey live on different internet websites. Hockey can be broadly categories in two types namely field hockey and ice hockey. Although there is not much difference between the two types except for the fact that the ice hockey is played either on a frozen fish pond or even on an ice rink.
When hockey is discussed, no one can forget to mention the most popular National Hockey League, known as NHL. Being able to watch hockey live is considered to be the most entertaining experience by the hockey fanatics. The game can turn into an aggressive match which makes the crowd even more excited. A special type of shield and other protectors are used at the side of the rink to ensure the safety of spectators. There have been many cases in the past when the spectators were hurt and keeping those events in mind, the shields are considered as a mandatory item for the match.
There are many countries where no TV stations show live hockey matches. Under such situations, being able to watch hockey live online is not less than any blessing. It is quite surprising to see that even prime sports channel do not show hockey matches in most of the countries and people have no other option but to rely on different internet websites to watch hockey live.
The hockey fanatics are of the view that a thrilling hockey match can only be enjoyed while sitting on a comfortable couch with a big LCD HDTV and the best sound system. However, there are many situations when this is not possible and you have to watch to watch it on computer. There might be a chance that you are stuck in office because you have a meeting to attend or are traveling to some to other place. Under such circumstances, you don't need to lose hope.
All you have to do is to connect to internet and watch hockey live match online. You do not need to wait for a miracle to happen that will let you watch your favorite group's match. Even if the hockey matches are shown on television in your country, watching NHL hockey match live online always comes in handy.
In order to watch the hockey match online, you might have to subscribe to a certain cable system. There are other options as well, but you will need to check the legality of each option in your area. It is your responsibility to conduct a research on the possible options and then determine which one is most suitable for you.
Kim - About Author:
The easiest possible way is to discuss with other people in your social circle who watch hockey live and see what they recommend. This is how you will not need to do much research on the legal issues. Different options have different rates and you can get the NHL live stream that suits your budget.

Did you know today is National Coffee Day? I don't really know what that means as it's always coffee day for me. I wouldn't exist without it. Speaking of, last month I went into the studio and shot a personal coffee story, so I figured today would be an appropriate day to share! It centers around coffee moments and all things coffee. Enjoy, and while you're up can I get a refill? Thanks.
These are all just incredible photographs. That dripping jar of caramel did me in.
Beautifully celebrated!
Just saw this Matt- you don't cease to amaze. You're such an incredible photographer already so it always surprises me when your images just keep getting better and better. xx

Coach Chris here… Your body and my gym have a lot in common. When I opened my gym in October of 2011, I had no idea what it was going to look like a year down the road. I mean, yeah, I had ideas, visions, dreams- but I didn't really KNOW. On day one it looked like this:
Day one. Only, not really. You see, this is where we started the building process from. But before we could build we had to remove all of the crap. Here's a picture that's more along the lines of where we started:
There was A LOT of crap to remove- desks, cleaning supplies, shelving units, office equipment, drywall, insulation, etc… We knocked down a wall, busted multiple new "openings" to create space and flow to the room, and swept every last crevice prior to the two pictures taken above.
After the first two pictures were taken, we did the next step and the gym looked like this:
Pretty clear, but in case you missed it, we laid the flooring, prepping the gym for the next step:
We had to first clear the crap, then clean, then lay the flooring, and finally install the racks and other equipment. Any other order and this process would have been a mess. These were the big rocks. From here we made subtle changes over days, weeks, months, a year, and so on…
From that same shot, here is the gym today:
I will show you some of the in-between steps here as we go, but I think we can all agree- that's a pretty drastic change.
Sow how is this like your body you ask? Well, you probably have a goal. In order to achieve your goal you first need to remove the crap. Crap can be anything negative, hindering you from the body and lifestyle you're dreaming of. Do you watch too much TV? Hang out with the wrong crowd? Eat like a 10-year-old? Do you skip workouts often?
Whatever it is, CUT THE CRAP.
Once you've done this, you need to figure out what the (your) big rocks are. Put the big rocks in first. Remember you can't move in furniture/equipment if you haven't laid the flooring. Maybe you're taking the latest and greatest supplements but you rarely eat whole foods on a consistent basis. Maybe you're reading every muscle zine and site but can't find the time to complete a real program in it's entirety.
Eat well and lift often. BIG ROCKS FIRST.
Once the big rocks are all "moved in," it's time to take a look at the fillers. We've got pebbles, then sand, and finally water. The pebbles are the next most important step in your journey. In any process there are a ton of different approaches. Goals are no different. Maybe what's important to you means nothing to me- so your pebbles and sand might be slightly different, but you've got to figure out what they are.
The pebbles for the gym were excess equipment that we didn't NEED, but we sure as heck can get a lot out of. Sandbags, kettlebells, ropes, med balls, sleds, bands, chains etc… It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to have them if we didn't have bars and plates, dumbbells, racks, and benches first. The reality is, we could have gotten strong, lean, and dominated without all of the pebbles, but they make things easier, more fun, and typically can expedite goals.
You can't add the pebbles before the big rocks though.
The sand is really the little tiny stuff that we definitely don't NEED, but it also won't hinder our goals in any way. In the case of the gym, think decorations and equipment that doesn't directly appy to training people. All of the banners, shirts from athletes, posters, the refrigerator, etc… In our case, they add personality, convenience, and show off a little bit. None of those things hinder our goal of getting people in the best shape of their life, but they probably don't directly impact it either.
Water is the excess. The container might seem full with all of the big rocks, pebbles, and sand- but, there is definitely little tiny cracks and crevices where water can fit in. The water represents your "cheats," or anything that could ruin the goal if done in excess. These things are okay, and are actually encouraged as long as the big rocks, pebbles, and sand go in first, and they don't overflow the container.
Sand and water keep us sane. You don't NEED to have them, but life just isn't as enjoyable without them.
The final part to this post is about complacency. The gym was "complete" soon after starting it, but we've made improvements to the facility itself, the systems, the training, etc… every single day. There is literally not a week that goes by that we don't improve something, no matter how arbitrary it may seem. Small changes made often mean big changes over time. The day that you tell yourself, "I'm where I want to be," is the day you not only stop improving, but you will backslide.
So what's your goal? Do you know your big rocks? What could make up the pebbles, sand, and water? If you don't know the answer to these questions, at least you now have a path to even make it to the starting line.
I'll leave you with some pictures of the gym in steps:
These changes didn't happen overnight, and they definitely aren't the "end."
Progression through perseverance.

Do we need assessments?
by Carson Boddicker on May 6th, 2011
Recently there has been a little bit of discussion on the necessity of assessment. Some argue that if you simply coach movements to look pretty, the need for assessment is nil. As I chimed in last year regarding a definition of corrective exercise, I, in principle agree that great coaching can be highly "corrective" in nature. I thus maintain that failing to coach movement quality is both unacceptable and entirely unprofessional. This r...Read More » Tags Share Comments (1)

We are "A group of crazy guys who aimed to research, plan and build a remote controlled car that has never existed before in size, or in design. This is Project Mammuth."
Earlier this year, we were contacted by a group of people who developed a rather interesting remote controlled car, and we decided to help them. Here are their first results.
They are using mikroC PRO for PIC32 and Visual TFT to create a graphical user interface for mikromedia for PIC32, which will become a custom controller for their car. Unlike Mammuth I, which had a rather simple control mechanism, Mammuth II has Adjustable break balance, adaptive steering and telemetry setup options on the controller.
Make sure to visit their project's webpage, and see the video of the graphics interface they are developing.

MD; Bullard, Michael L. MD; Shtein, Roni M. MD, MSCornea: December 2013 - Volume 32 - Issue 12 - p 1527–1530 doi: 10.1097/ICO.0b013e3182a966b4 Clinical Science Abstract Author Information Purpose: To determine the influence of preoperative donor tissue characteristics on the graft dislocation rate after performing a Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK). Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the associations between donor tissue characteristics and graft dislocation rates for consecutive DSAEK surgeries performed in a 4-year period at a single institution. Results: From June 2007 to June 2011, 64 (18%) of 355 eyes underwent a procedure for graft dislocation. There were no differences in donor age, preoperative endothelial graft thickness, preprocessing endothelial cell density, change in endothelial cell density after processing, time from death to tissue processing, or time from tissue processing to surgery between eyes that experienced dislocations and those that did not (P > 0.05 for each). The graft recipient's corneal disease diagnosis, preoperative corneal thickness, preoperative visual acuity, glaucoma status, history of glaucoma surgery, and cataract surgery at the time of performing the DSAEK were not associated with an increased rate of dislocation (P > 0.05 for each). Recipients who experienced graft dislocation were significantly older (73.6 vs. 70.2 years, P = 0.03) and more likely to undergo subsequent repeat transplantation (29.7% vs. 10.7%, P < 0.0001). Conclusions: We found no correlation between any corneal donor tissue characteristic and graft dislocation after the DSAEK was performed. Graft dislocation was more common in older recipients. Patients with dislocation had a higher rate of subsequent transplantation. Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of Michigan W.K.

The EAT has held in BT Managed Services Ltd -v- Edwards and another 2015 that an employee who was on long-term sick leave and was not expected ever to return to work was not 'assigned' to an organised grouping of employees for the purposes of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE).
Mr Edwards was signed off sick in January 2008 with a cardiac condition, and there was no prospect of his ever returning to work. A service provision change took place in June 2013, and the team he previously worked for was transferred to a new employer. The Employment Tribunal held that Mr Edwards' employment had not transferred with the others.
The EAT agreed with the Tribunal. Where there was no prospect of the employee ever returning to work, it didn't matter that, if he had been able to work, he would have been assigned to the grouping that transferred. The fact was that he could not be said to be assigned to the grouping in any real sense; it was an historical link only.

The all-party meeting, instead, decided to move a Bill in the forthcoming monsoon session of Parliament to �circumvent� the apex court�s directive.
Sources said the parties were of the opinion that electoral reforms must come from within the legislature and not imposed by either the apex court or the Election Commission.
�The Supreme Court has surpassed itself. There will be no democracy in this country if we accept its stricture,� said CPM general secretary H.S. Surjeet.
The proposal for bringing the Bill was based on grounds that Parliament alone could enact a law and that even the apex court cannot direct the government to scrap, amend or pass a legislation. Union law minister K. Jana Krishnamurthi had said as much yesterday.
In its May 2 judgment, the Supreme Court had directed that all candidates should declare, among other things, their educational background, criminal cases against them, if any, and assets and liabilities. The information disclosed by candidates only would have had no bearing on their right to contest, provided they cleared the other provisions.
But most parties felt that the government of the day could trump up charges and embarrass rival candidates since voters of the respective constituencies would have had access to the information.
On June 29, the poll panel incorporated these changes in nomination filing rules as the court had set a deadline on July 1 and the government did not take any decision.
The poll panel�s contention is that almost all the guidelines are already in practise and the only additions are the three issues.
Krishnamurthi said law making was the domain of Parliament and neither the court nor the poll panel could �encroach on the domain of Parliament�.
He pointed to a legal doctrine, the Doctrine of Unoccupied Field, to explain that this �field of election law has hitherto been unoccupied and hence the Election Commission has been issuing guidelines from time to time. Once the field is occupied (by Parliament), then the law would be in effect and the guidelines by the court and the commission would be redundant.�
Bengal�s political establishment convulsed after Abhijit Sinha�s family said shame and pain caused by mental torture in police custody drove the 32-year-old Central excise inspector to kill himself.
�They (the police) are behind my innocent husband�s death,� said his widow, Manasi, the daughter of Moloy Sinha, deputy superintendent of police (crime), CID. He is in charge of the crackdown on the People�s War in Paschim Midnapore.
�My son could not take the insult and pain,� Abhijit�s father, Ashok Sinha, said. �So he killed himself.�
At Writers�, chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee said Abhijit did not have any direct link with the Naxalites. �There was only a telephone call that connected him with the investigation. One of his friends (a suspected sympathiser) had used his telephone� His suicide is unfortunate,� he said.
Bhattacharjee asked the special secretary (home), Arun Mishra, to probe the circumstances that led to Abhijit�s interrogation. He would also look into complaints of police excesses on Abhijit and Kaushik Ganguly, a lecturer, who were picked up on Thursday for alleged links with the People�s War.
Abhijit was pulled out of bed, dragged down the stairs and taken to Baguiati police station, family members said. His wife contacted her father and the two rushed to Baguiati to convince senior officials to release him on condition that the police officer would produce his son-in-law when needed.
On Saturday, Moloy Sinha accompanied Abhijit to Midnapore town. He was interrogated there by officers. The shrill cries of several other suspects being grilled in the next room haunted Abhijit for quite some time, his family said.
�Abhijit was disturbed,� Moloy Sinha said. �There were several calls from Paschim Midnapore police. He told me one caller had rebuked him for keeping the phone off the hook, which he had not done.� The officer said he did not think his son-in-law was tortured. �But, of course, he was mentally upset.�
The chief minister made it clear there would be no let-up in the raids. �Outfits like the People�s War and the MCC believe in the politics of murder and annihilation. Raids will continue.�
The sudden plan to roll back rail ticket prices � fares were raised by about 10-25 per cent for mail and express trains in February � has been prompted by last week�s drastic cut in air fares by Indian Airlines and Jet Airways during the silly season between August 1 and October 31.
The railway is expected to make the announcement later this week. The ministry is also exploring the possibility of slashing fares on Rajdhani and Shatabdi train routes, which were not raised in February.
Officials were tight-lipped about the proposed cut in ticket prices for second class two-tier air-conditioned travel.
Sources in the Railway Board said: �We are examining various options. The focus will be on the highest revenue earning lines like Mumbai-Delhi or small but important lines like Delhi-Indore or Pune. We have completed the framework for the proposed cut, but it will have to be discussed with the chairman of the board and the minister. We will hold the discussion during the week.�
The board could not meet today formally because its chairman I.I.M.S. Rana was on tour, but informal discussions were held among the other members.
�The whole exercise has been carried out after an instruction from the railway minister was sent to the board to examine the issue (reduction in airfare) and hammer out a package that will offset the loss because of the fare cuts through a surge in passenger volumes,� a source said.
Even if the fares are brought down by 5 per cent, the railways will only be partially rolling back February�s fare hike.
It seems that the board has managed to balance the hike announced in the budget to improve the revenue flow and, at the same time, retain its market share.
According to a board member: �Whatever the final package, it will be designed to not only retain the existing passengers but attract more passengers, particularly on the Rajdhani and Shatabdi trains.�
�This is not a knee-jerk reaction to the cuts announced by airlines. It is a strategic move by the railways to retain its market share in passenger traffic.
�We do not want to face a situation like the one we experienced in freight traffic where we have lost out to roadways. At one point, we handled 80 per cent of all the freight movement in the country; that is now down to less than 40 per cent,� the officials said.
The railway�s total earnings from passenger traffic stood at about Rs 13,450 crore during 2001-2002.
The two-tier air-conditioned passengers contributed about Rs 1,000 crore to the kitty followed by three-tier AC passengers with Rs 800 crore; the air-conditioned chair car passengers contributed Rs 300 crore while Rs 175 crore came from first class passengers. The Rajdhani and Shatabdi Express trains contributed Rs 160 crore to the railway.
Railway minister Nitish Kumar, busy fighting a high-decibel battle with Mamata on carving up railway zones in Bengal, has yielded to pressure from the Telugu Desam Party chief.
Nitish dropped plans to create a new division that would have brought Guntakal, a traffic-heavy stretch, in Andhra Pradesh to South-Western Railway under Hubli in Karnataka. Instead, South-Central Railway, the home base of Guntakal, will get two new divisions � one of them headquartered in Andhra�s Guntur and another in Maharashtra�s Nanded.
The changes were prompted by Naidu�s stiff opposition to the prospects of losing Guntakal to Karnataka and Visakhapatnam to Orissa. The Visakhapatnam wing will go to Orissa, ruled by another BJP ally Naveen Patnaik, but the Centre has decided to spare Guntakal as a face-saver for Naidu.
Nitish stands to gain by obliging Naidu. The Andhra Pradesh chief minister appears to have ditched Mamata, at least for the time being. Trinamul had sought Naidu�s support in its fight to stop the bifurcation of Eastern Railway, but contrary to expectations, the Desam chief has been silent on the issue.
With Nitish deftly managing support from deputy Prime Minister L.K. Advani and about 10 chief ministers, including those from the Congress, for his proposal to carve up new railway zones, Mamata�s only hope for a bailout rests with Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Nitish has said he would abide by whatever decision Vajpayee or the Union Cabinet takes.
Sources said the proposal to create new zones and divisions has been welcomed by all chief ministers except Bengal�s Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee.
Tomorrow, an all-party delegation from the state is expected to meet the railway minister. At a Barasat rally today, Mamata today launched a campaign against the division of Bengal zones.
Among those Nitish has spoken to are the chief ministers of Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Jharkhand and Orissa, besides Andhra. Sources said Naidu wanted a quid pro quo and Nitish readily agreed to his demand that Guntakal should not go to the Hubli division.
The MV Al-Murtada, a smallish 50-tonner, �drifted� into Indian waters in a region that is teeming with Indian and foreign naval vessels and surveillance aircraft, and was reported by a passing merchant vessel, the Meridien Navigator, to the the Coast Guard last week. It was 84 nautical miles (155 km) west of Maharashtra�s Ratnagiri coast.
The Coast Guard director-general, Vice-Admiral O.P. Bansal, said the vessel had been abandoned some time ago. He said it might have taken two months to reach the spot where it was found. It could have come from waters closer to Africa�s east coast.
�At the moment, everything is conjecture. There is no report of a missing vessel matching the Al-Murtada�s description. Since the owner and agent is known, however, we expect to learn more about a ship shortly,� Bansal said.
It is of some concern in the security establishment that the ship was found after it had clearly been in Indian waters for weeks. The sea lanes in the Arabian Sea are particularly busy now with the traffic of not only merchant vessels but also the navies of several nations engaged in the US� Operation Enduring Freedom. Bansal said there was also a high degree of air surveillance in the area.
Conjecture on the possible use of the ship has ranged from �simple� piracy (with the crew possibly being killed and dumped) and abandonment after an act of crime (gun or drug-running) or, even, possibly smuggling in or smuggling out a criminal (Osama bin Laden?).
Intelligence agencies have periodically warned of stretches on the west coast that might be used to land contraband. Dubai-based don Dawood Ibrahim was alleged to have reached RDX used in the 1993 Bombay blasts to his accomplices in the Ratnagiri coast.
After an aerial surveillance, the Coast Guard ship, Vijaya, intercepted the Al-Murtada and its men boarded the ship in a midnight operation made all the more difficult in the rough monsoon seas. A search of the ship has so far yielded two AK-47 rifles. (Merchant vessels are not always unarmed. Sailors do carry weapons to ward of possible piracy attempts.) The Al-Murtada is now anchored just off Devgiri.
The ship�s last known owner, presumably a Lebanese based in Khadeh, by the name of Assem Nidal Beaini, has refused to answer repeated telephone calls made by the Indian Coast Guard. The ship�s agent, Talal Abdul, also based in Lebanon, was contacted over the weekend. He told the Coast Guard he had no idea about the vessel but said he would pass on the information to the owner. The Al-Murtada is registered in Sao Tome, an island off west Africa.
The Coast Guard director-general said details of the vessel have been sent to the International Maritime Bureau�s Piracy Reporting Centre in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Neighbouring countries have also been informed. The only thing the Coast Guard has learnt till now is that the ship�s last recorded port of call was Dubai in September last year.
The Coast Guard has also passed on all it has learnt about the vessel to its fraternal security agencies, including the IB and RAW. Sources said it was unlikely the vessel had actually touched the Indian coast before it was spotted. They said the southwest monsoon would have made it drift towards India and when the Coast Guard Dornier recced it, it was �drifting� at a speed of about 1.5 miles a day.
When Coast Guard personnel boarded the ship, they found that there was nothing in it to sustain a crew. But the bridge was equipped with navigational systems and the ship was still seaworthy. The ship�s single 1,500 horsepower engine and the anchor were functional. The Al-Murtada, built in a German shipyard in 1974, had no lifeboats on board. Its fuel gauge showed 1,200 gallons in two tanks.
The ship was still being �rummaged� by officials of the Customs, Intelligence Bureau, Directorate of Revenue Intelligence and the Navy apart from the Coast Guard. The two AK-47s that were found had �Allah� and �Yusuf� inscribed on them.
Ships are not easily abandoned on the high seas because of the huge amount in insurance that their owners can claim. They are either sent for breaking or deliberately sunk to mimic an accident.
In 1999, the Coast Guard had intercepted a Japanese ship that was alleged to have been �hijacked� on the east coast. Since then, the Japanese navy has been carrying out joint exercises with its Indian counterpart.
There is a sense of satisfaction that perhaps the governments plans for Kashmir are gradually falling into place, despite the setback to the scheme after the assassination of moderate Hurriyat leader Abdul Gani Lone. New Delhi is bent on holding credible elections in Kashmir and wants as many political opinions represented as possible.
The Centre had tried to persuade the Hurriyat Conference to contest the elections. Hurriyat leaders were also advised by both the US and UK to do so. So far, the Hurriyat leadership has refused to do so.
There is hope that Shah�s decision may encourage smaller parties in the Hurriyat and some of the Hizb-ul Mujahideen�s cadre to follow. Moderate elements, who are now sitting on the fence, may also be encouraged to take the plunge.
But nobody in Delhi is expecting an avalanche of willing contestants to follow. As one senior official explained, nothing can be taken for granted in the strife-torn state. The Centre is hoping to rope in Majid Dar, the India-based Hizb leader who has had major differences with Syed Salahuddin, the Hizb chief operating from Pakistan. Though it is uncertain whether Dar will contest, some of his men are expected to take the leap.
New Delhi is also hoping to persuade Lone�s son to contest the elections.
Many of the fence sitters would watch people�s response to Shah�s announcement. However, the response of the militants is expected to be more crucial than that of ordinary citizens.
Shah is aware of the risk he is taking by announcing his decision. Pro-Pakistani forces are bent on disrupting elections in the Valley. In fact, the United Jihad Council based in Pakistan and led by Salahuddin has asked Hurriyat leaders to campaign against people�s participation in the polls.
Hurriyat has said that it would not be dictated by the United Jihad Council.
There is much confusion in the Hurriyat and as also among militant outfits in Kashmir about losing Pakistan�s staunch and open support for their cause. The signals from Islamabad are mixed and there is a growing awareness that Pakistan may come under increasing international scrutiny not only to stop sending in armed infiltrators but also to stop its generous funding to militants and anti-India groups.
Under the circumstances, India hopes moderates may realise that their future lies in proving their popular credentials and waging a political and peaceful struggle for their rights.
Shah has been playing hide-and-seek with the Centre for over a year now. Some in Delhi were, at one point, hoping to project Shah as the future chief minister of the state.
In Uttar Pradesh, too, a chunk of the party was apparently willing to �bail� out the BJP in case the coalition government was in trouble. Unhappiness with senior leaders had apparently led the Samajwadi legislators to favouritism for their main rival.
Four Samajwadi MPs had left the party before the Uttar Pradesh elections and supported the Central coalition.
The BJP was eyeing the Samajwadi MPs and MLAs as an �insurance� against instability at the Centre and Uttar Pradesh.
BJP strategists felt that in case a �maverick� NDA partner pulled put of the coalition and additional numbers were required to retain majority, the Samajwadi members could fill in.
Likewise, if Uttar Pradesh chief minister and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) leader Mayavati felt she had enough of the BJP alliance, the Samajwadi could bail the government out in part, or lock, stock and barrel.
The BJP was divided on whether it should start preying on the Samajwadi and split the party or keep its leader Mulayam Singh Yadav in �good humour�, just in case he had a change of heart and decided communalism was not a good-enough reason to keep the saffron forces at bay.
A section of the Samajwadi felt if �secular� parties like the Telugu Desam, the DMK and even the BSP could consort with the BJP and yet pull Muslim votes, what was wrong if it followed? �As it is, in the last Assembly elections, in 40 or 50 constituencies, Muslims voted for the BSP rather than the Samajwadi, despite the knowledge that it would again join hands with the BJP if required,� said a senior Samajwadi functionary.
The impetus for the BJP to look afresh at the Samajwadi as a potential ally arose because of several reasons. After four of its 26 MPs broke away and became part of an Independent block, which included breakaway groups from parties like the Rashtriya Janata Dal and the Kerala Congress, �it was proved that Mulayam was not as unassailable as he was made out to be�, said BJP sources.
Of the four rebels, three � Kunwar Sarvraj Singh, Ramakant Yadav and Balchand Yadav � were expelled while the fourth, Balram Singh Yadav continues to remain a Samajwadi member despite openly associating with the BJP.
With 23 MPs remaining, eight more are required to formalise a one-third split in the Samajwadi. BJP sources claimed that eight Samajwadi MPs are read y to walk out of the party.
However, persistent enquiries threw up only six names: Beni Prasad Verma, Reena Chowdhury, Deepak Kumar, Jawaharlal Jaiswal, Raghunath Singh and Girraj Singh Patel.
But BJP sources believe half the war was �won� by securing the support of an important backward caste leader and old-time socialist like Verma, who stood by Mulayam through trying times.
When contacted on phone in Lucknow, Verma said: �What have you heard? Well, these rumours do the rounds from time to time.�
Straw is scheduled to arrive here on a day�s visit on July 19. He will hold wide-ranging discussions with the Indian leadership, which includes foreign minister Yashwant Sinha and national security adviser Brajesh Mishra on developments in the region, particularly the military standoff and the heavy deployment of Indian and Pakistani troops along the border.
The British foreign secretary, like the Americans, wants Pakistan to stop cross-border-terrorism. But while they have been stressing on the point publicly, in private, both the UK and the US have been trying to convince the Indian leadership to find a way to break the deadlock in its relations with Pakistan.
One way to do that, according to the western powers, is to take steps towards de-escalation � both diplomatic and military � and return to the talks table at the highest political level with Islamabad.
Delhi has noticed this shift in the stands of London and Washington. And to put it mildly, is not amused.
Foreign secretary Kanwal Sibal made it clear today that the international community should sustain its pressure on Pakistan to end terrorism and infiltration permanently. He argued that any wrong interpretation of the commitment given by Musharraf would give him the alibi he needed to continue to promote infiltration across the LoC.
At a round-table conference on Indo-US relations organised by the CII this afternoon, Sibal stressed that it is important for the credibility of the international community to keep up the pressure on the Pakistan President to honour his commitment to end terrorism and take visible action in dismantling terrorist camps.
Referring to remarks made by Washington that Musharraf should tackle that part of the problem of infiltration which was under his control, the foreign secretary said: �That is not the commitment he has given.�
�If interpreted in this way, it will give Musharraf a lot of room to play with ambiguities, allow him to continue the policy pursued in the past and say that the terrorism that occurs is outside his control. This would give him the alibi he needs.�
Sibal also described the travel advisories issues by the US and some other countries asking their nationals to defer visits to India as a �total disconnect�.
�There is a total disconnection in what we see in the country and the perception created in world capitals about the imminence of nuclear threat and nuclear conflict in our region,� he said.
�While over one billion people in the country do not feel threatened, about two lakh foreigners in the country were seen as being victims of something that is going to happen which will be catastrophic in nature.�
The travel advisory was seen in South Block as another attempt by the West to create pressure on India to de-escalate and normalise relations with Pakistan. Though it has been criticised often in private over the past weeks, this is the first time that a senior Indian official has flayed it in public. Sibal said that if the West really feared a nuclear conflict, �what did they do except to move their people who were reluctant to do so?�
He made it clear that instead of putting pressure on Pakistan, the West was now rewarding it by offering loans to the tune of $8 billion from the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, the European Union and the IMF.
However, Sibal maintained that there was no conflict of interest between India and the US. Delhi is not averse to the presence of American troops in Afghanistan, he said. �On the contrary, we welcome it.�
The keys of this luxury car, which probably costs well over �150,000, was presented to Tendulkar by the Formula One racing champion, Michael Schumacher, whom the cricketer much admires.
The meeting between Tendulkar and Schumacher took place at the request of the former, �who has a big weakness for cars�, according to Rajeev Shukla, the manager of the touring Indian team.
Immediately after India had won the one-dayer against Sri Lanka at Edgbaston in Birmingham last week, Tendulkar went off to see Schumacher at Silverstone where the British Grand Prix is held.
�They talked for two hours and then had dinner together,� said Shukla.
Tendulkar stayed overnight and yesterday watched the Grand Prix which was won by his host. �The Ferrari was presented to him by Fiat which owns Ferrari,� said Shukla. �After all, he has equalled Bradman�s record.�
Now, that he has one of the fastest cars in the world, Tendulkar will be able to make Juhu from the Taj Mahal hotel in Bombay in 90 minutes instead of the usual two hours.
Meanwhile, Virender Sehwag, who is being compared to Tendulkar, told British television that the two are very different.
�His bank balance,� said Sehwag, �is much bigger.�

Unique solution finds 'red apple' sales opportunities to increase vehicle sales,
better source in-demand trades, boost retention and drive service and parts sales
IRVINE, CA, October 19, 2011 – AutoAlert,® Inc., the innovator in providing data analytic and lead-generation solutions to auto dealers, said today it had received formal "notice of allowance" for two new U.S. patents.
AutoAlert enables auto dealers to uniquely create highly viable sales opportunities and sell more vehicles with higher gross profit, bring in late model trade-ins, and sell additional warranties and services to their existing customers, while improving customer retention and loyalty.
These third and fourth patents follow on Patent Number 8,005,752 issued Aug. 15, 2011 and Patent Number 7,827,099 issued Dec. 10, 2010. Each new patent addresses extended functionality of the AutoAlert solution and are currently referenced by the U.S. Patent Office as application numbers13/076,203 and 13/076,208. Jeff Cotton, AutoAlert co-founder, said additional patent applications are in process to ensure that the solution's unique capabilities are commercially protected.
The AutoAlert solution identifies the automobile dealership's existing customers whose vehicles and vehicle histories make those owners hot prospects for additional sales opportunities. It identifies customers whose vehicles fit certain sales criteria – equity position and mileage, lease termination and/or mileage, and market demand for trade-in offers, among other metrics.
Today's new normal is about keeping the customer you already have, since the retail auto industry is characterized by lackluster sales growth, a scarcity of late model used vehicles, and rising customer expectations. AutoAlert is a powerful retention tool that helps to ensure longer lasting customer relationships that will convert to sustainable and repeatable sales opportunities.
"Dealers credit the patented AutoAlert solution for helping them 'create a dealership within a dealership' because it helps them identify and then sell up to several hundred extra units a month -- from existing customers alone," said Boyd H. Warner, AutoAlert's president and CEO.
In its 10th year of business, AutoAlert was the first company to offer dealership and enterprise business-intelligence software, support and training of its kind. More than 1,100 dealerships today have utilized the AutoAlert solution to be more competitive, improve their all-important customer retention, and help sales associates excel.
AutoAlert is a registered trademark of AutoAlert, Inc. ServiceAlert, MileageAlert, WarrantyAlert, ConquestAlert, MaintenanceAlert and FlexAlert are trademarks of AutoAlert, Inc. in the United States and/or other countries.

Dutch Delftware in the palace gardens
At Paleis Het Loo 45 Delftware garden vases are on display. The vases are produced based on three existing authentic vases, that were made in the 17th century for the first residents of Paleis Het Loo, King-Stadtholder Willem III and Queen Mary. Reintroducing the vases in the palace gardens in 2016 was the finishing touch to the garden renovation. This project was realised thanks to a generous donation of the BankGiro Loterij, with special thanks to the many participants of the Dutch cultural lottery.
tin glazing technique
Delftware vases
The garden vases have been reproduced in close collaboration with the Industrial Design faculty of the Technical University Delft, who used the latest technologies to scan the extant garden vases for the moulds. Production and hand-painting of the vases has been undertaken by Royal Tichelaar Makkum, using high-quality 17th-century tin-glazing techniques. In this way, innovation and craftsmanship was combined.
Delftware vases were a very exclusive element in 17th-century Baroque gardens; they were filled with rare and precious plants, such as orange trees and pineapple plants. It was Queen Mary who laid the foundation for making Delftware a national Dutch icon. Unfortunately, all that remains of the original vases at Het Loo are broken pieces. Three original royal vases were found at various places in Europe – at Erddig Hall in Wales, at Schloss Favorite in Baden-Württemberg and in France – which served as example for the manufacturing of the vases in the palace gardens.
in the palace gardens
The vases will be on display in the palace gardens during the summer season (18 June to 23 October). Throughout the year, more information on this project can be seen in the East Wing. The presentation 'Dutch Delftware in the palace gardens' shows the production of the vases in text, objects and on film. Furthermore, it tells the story of Queen Mary's love for both Delftware and the gardens.
The presentation in the East Wing is open from 1.00 pm to 5.00 pm.
