Starting with a Chevy Malibu or up to $425/mo all the way through a Cadillac XT5 Luxury or up to $900/mo ... which will you earn?
...or in your reality!
Choose how you want to make money!
The cost of starting a Mary Kay business is $100 and this includes everything that you need to demonstrate the product and get your business off the ground. Just like the owner of a coffee shop would need to pay rent or buy the counter where the barista stands, this kit gives you the tools you need to get started.
Using your $100 Starter Kit, here are 12 ways that you can make money as an Independent Beauty Consultant:
Selling the product: We sell our products for twice as much as we buy them for, for a total profit of 50% of the sale
In a group setting: A skincare class or party has 3 to 6 people and takes approximately an hour.
One on One: Facials have one or two people in attendance and usually take about 30 - 45 minutes.
On the Go: Quick 10-15 minute appointments where only one or two products are introduced, sampled and sold.
Online: The company has provided the opportunity to have a beautiful website for your business which is constantly being updated for you.
On paper: Through the preferred customer program customers will receive a Look Book to purchase from 4 times a year in the mail. They can also take that look books and earn free product or gifts from you by taking orders from their friends.
Show and Sell-Product: Guests can keep their makeup on while checking our products.
Reorders. Our product is consumable just like bread and milk. We have the most brand loyal customers of any product on the market and the majority of them will continue to purchase our products as long as they have a consultant who keeps in touch and asks about their reorder needs every month or so.
If for some reason you cannot hold an appointment that you have scheduled, you may call another consultant to hold that appointment for you. She will hold the appointment and pay you 15% of the sales from the class as a thank you for booking the class for her. She will take all of the new customers and bookings and you will keep your hostess and any of the people who where already your customers.
Sharing the Opportunity.
When you share the Opportunity with someone who becomes a consultant, Mary Kay pays you a commission every time they order. This commission is paid directly from Mary Kay's profits and does not in any way come out of your team member's pocket. They keep all of their profit, and Mary Kay sends you a commission check of 4-13% as a consultant.
Career Car.
As a Consultant you may choose to earn the use of a Chevy Malibu, or choose an alternate prize of a cash compensation of up to $425 per month.
In a leadership position there are additional Career Cars which may be earned, including the coveted Pink Cadillac.
Promote yourself to a Leadership Position.
If you choose to promote yourself into the position of Sales Director then you will earn additional commissions based on the production of your unit.
There are so many different ways to earn an income through this business, and the great news is you can pick and choose which ones are right for you - if you like selling a few products here and there, but prefer not to be in a leadership role- that's perfectly acceptable! Whatever works for you is the right path!

Back to a future
First civil war, then a tsunami – until recently, only fearless travelers sought out Sri Lanka. That's changed and people are flocking to the island again. Our author went in search of its magic and discovered an urban jungle with a soul, legendary beaches and a holy mountain
Happiness, it seems, is here for the taking – the ocean so blue, the flowers such a blaze of color, the streets so clean. Glittering towers dreamed up by the world's best architects reach for the sky. A tantalizing vision, but too good to be true. For now, at least, only a computer-generated idyll, this vision is plastered on construction site fences around Colombo. The reality is quite a different story: Sri Lanka's city of millions stinks. It's a sweaty, noisy, rattletrap of a place that stifles your breath. Its streets are dangerous and the weather makes you suffer – one minute the tropical sun is frying your brain, the next, a cloudburst knocks you off your feet. Tourist attractions, parks, beaches? Palaces or museums? Such things barely exist here – as yet.
Civil war raged in Sri Lanka for a bitter 26 years. Although most of the fighting took place in the north and east, the entire island seemed paralyzed, including Colombo on the west coast. Today, more than six years since the end of the war, investors are flocking to the city. Tourists are also returning to Sri Lanka, their number nearly four times that in 2009. Most still give the unlovely urban sprawl that is Colombo a wide berth, but this is set to change. On Galle Road, just steps from the Indian Ocean, hotel tower blocks are taking shape, and there's an entire new neighborhood planned next door – an ambitious, classy, ultramodern development project built on land to be reclaimed from the ocean.
The mood on the art scene is also euphoric at present. "We are seeing collectors and curators coming in from all over the world," says Saskia Fernando, 33, whose art gallery shares her name. Its snow-white walls display works vaguely reminiscent of Frida Kahlo and Salvador Dalí: surreal, opulent, brilliantly colored. And yet, a sense of identity grounded somewhere between India and the South Seas is already apparent. "For the first time in Sri Lanka, artists are able to make a living from their work," says Fernando. "When I set up my gallery six years ago, that was unthinkable."
How does she envision the future? "Sometimes I am concerned for our soul," she replies. "Construction is in progress everywhere – at the expense of our environment, culture and tradition. But of course we urgently need development, tourism, jobs. And mostly I do feel positive because the soul of Sri Lanka is its people. They are so amazing, so irrepressible." Later on, wandering through the city, I begin to understand what she meant. No matter how crowded, noisy or down-at-heel Colombo is, people smile at you as though their life depended on it; almost as if they had decided to be the happiest people on earth in spite of everything.
The man about to take the plunge could almost be Bob Marley's son: broad grin, dark skin, black dreads. The water lies 15, maybe 20 meters below us. He wants to dive in? "No problem, mister," says Asanka, 26, "it's my job."
I'm in Galle, once Sri Lanka's largest port. I made the journey by express train; it took us nearly three hours to cover a stretch of coastline slightly more than 100 kilometers long, the doors wide open as we headed south. If Colombo is the island's present and future, Galle represents its past. Just outside the actual city, there's a fort, which was built by the Portuguese in the 16th century and later added to by the Dutch and the British. With ocean on three sides and mighty walls and towers to shield it, Galle Fort was long considered invincible.
Asanka is now standing on one of these towers. He takes a running jump, flies, swoops down with back straight, arms stretched wide and is received by the ocean below. He disappears beneath the surface and the next moment, is standing – the water only reaches to his hips. "I've been doing that since I was 15," he tells me, after climbing back up the wall, "just for fun to start with, along with my friends. Now I do it for tourists, for money, as a job."
There are 400 ancient houses behind these high walls. Living here, until recently, was like inhabiting an enchanted world. Then along came the foreigners, who bought the weathered colonial buildings, fixed them up, and either moved in themselves or turned them into luxury hotels. When Sri Lanka's first highway was built between Galle and Colombo, the city's elite discovered the fort for themselves. Actors now live here, and sports stars, including cricket legend Kumar Sangakkara.
Has the fort lost its magic? Anything but! The intersection of Lighthouse Street and Pedlar Street is teeming with tourists, backpackers climbing out of tuk-tuks, and expensive restaurants, souvenir and gemstone stores line the streets. But further on, I encounter some elderly women in colorful saris. Boys in white stand outside the large Koran school, while Buddhist monks in orange robes stroll high up on the city wall. From inside a primary school, I hear the voices of dozens of exuberant children, drowned out only by the spine-chilling call of a huge peacock perched on the roof next door. Oh yes, there's life in the old fort yet.
Exploring the real Sri Lanka is best done by bus. What you should know: Buses never use their brakes, and love to overtake. Rock-hard benches, diesel engines that sound like tractors and a Bollywood-style soundtrack are all part of the trip to Arugam Bay. It's a genuine experience and takes ten hours.
A two-kilometer stretch of street lined with huts, houses and small hotels: This is the east coast's legendary surf spot. West of the place also known as "A-Bay," peacocks strut across paddy fields, and further south, elephants lumber through the wilderness. I arrive with a headache, a backache and hurting ears: I need a beer. The Siam View Hotel, owned by A-Bay veteran Fred Netzband-Miller, 65, serves the best beer, I am told. "I came here in the seventies, to smoke pot and surf," says the Dutchman. "Then I met a local woman. She said there'd be nothing happening between us unless I married her first. So I did – ten days later."
We are on the roof of his hotel, on the Flower Power Terrace. Over a beer – homemade and excellent, by the way – Fred talks about the wild days in A-Bay – and about the civil war, the battles that raged on other beaches not far from here. Surfers still came to A-Bay, though – for the spectacular waves – if necessary even traveling through the region occupied by the rebel Tamil Tigers. Fred also experienced and survived the 2004 tsunami in A-Bay: "I was up here, partying with my staff. All of a sudden, there was salt water sloshing into my gin and tonic. Absolutely unacceptable!" Then the easy smile he has worn until now disappears. "But seriously, you know: The party saved our lives."
Others were not so fortunate: Up to 38 000 Sri Lankans lost their lives in the tsunami, among them the father of Irsah and Irfan. On the beach in the morning, I meet the 25-year-old twins, who work as surf instructors and fishermen today. "We were 14," Irfan says, "and had to quit school because our mother had no money." Today, they are short of cash again; this time to fullfill the great dream they share. Irsah points to a structure at the top of the beach with no walls, but a large roof about 14 to 15 square meters in area, made of palm leaves and supported by tree trunks. "That's going to be our surf school," Irsah tells me, "as soon as we have a few spare rupees, we'll carry on building, buy some second-hand boards. And then we'll really make a splash – you'll see!"
The stars are signposts to heaven. But no, they're not stars at all – my first impression deceived me: Behind a string of lights shimmering like pearls rises the dark silhouette of a pyramide-shaped mountain: Sri Pada, aka Adam's Peak. Roughly 5500 steps lead up to its 2243-meter summit. I want to climb it. Why? Nimal, 43, owner of the hotel where I'm staying, has told me the mountain's secret. "If you climb it regularly, you will live ten years longer." He himself has been up there 1500 times, and he really does look quite youthful for his age.
Like most people on the same mission, I set out just before 2 am so that I can reach the top before sunrise. Sri Pada, in the highlands of Sri Lanka, is the spiritual heart of the island. The Buddhists, who make up the great majority of the population, claim that Buddha left a footprint almost two meters long at the top. Not so, say the Hindus: It was Shiva. Muslims ascribe the footprint to Adam, Christians to Thomas, the Apostle. The mountain is sacred to everyone, and together they drag themselves to the top. But if you expect to find a special, spiritual atmosphere there, you will be disappointed at first. We walk for half an hour past vendors' stalls packed with sweets, soft toys and figures of deities before we enter the dense undergrowth. The starlit path now begins to rise steeply. The entire country seems to be on the move: boys leaping up the steps, like almost everyone else here in flip-flops or simply barefoot; whole families resting beside the path or huddled close in sleep, and men actually carrying their grandmothers – wrinkled bundles of skin and bone – piggyback. A few steps, a pause, a deep breath and then onwards and upwards.
I make it to the summit at around five o'clock. Shoes off and into the temple I walk amid the throng of pilgrims. I turn my eyes east, to where the pale sky is turning a deep red. A little old woman beside me folds her hands, smiles rapturously, and then flits through the crowd in search of a spot with a clear view of the sun. Maybe she'd like to sit on my shoulders? I point to my back, crouch down. She gives me a bashful look, giggles like a little girl and then bursts out laughing. The climb has been worth it, if only to hear her beautiful, easy laugh.
All I have left to investigate now is the footprint. Who really made it, I wonder? That particular question remains an open one. Worship is permitted, but on no account may you look directly at the footprint, which is covered by a cloth and closely guarded by monks to make sure it stays that way. The mountain evidently prefers to keep some of its secrets to itself.

How do you give a robot a sharper sense of smell? By using genetically modified frog cells, according to Shoji Takeuchi, a bioengineer at the University of Tokyo in Japan.
Today's electronic noses are not up to the job, he says. Although e-noses have been around for a while – and are used to sniff out rotten food in production lines – they lack accuracy.
That's because e-noses use quartz rods designed to vibrate at a different frequency when they bind to a target substance. But this is not a foolproof system, as subtly different substances with similar molecular weights may bind to the rod, producing a false positive.
Instead, Takeuchi believes there is nothing quite as good as biology for distinguishing between different biomolecules, such as disease markers in our breath. So he and his team have developed a living smell sensor.
First, immature eggs, or oocytes, from the African clawed frog Xenopus laevis were genetically modified to express the proteins known to act as smell receptors. He chose X. laevis cells as they are widely studied and their protein expression mechanism is well understood.
The team then placed the modified cells between electrodes and measured the telltale currents generated when different molecules bound to the receptors. They found this method can distinguish between many nearly identical biomolecules.
As a proof of concept, Takeuchi has built a robot that shakes its head when moth pheromones are sensed by the nose.
He now wants to extend the frog-based technology. "The X. laevis oocyte has high versatility for the development of chemical sensors for various odorants," he says. "We believe that a shared ability to smell might open a new relationship between man and robot."

In today's column, I shared some background info on one of the more interesting Texans, and a personal favorite, Bryan Braman.
Already a fan favorite, my guess is the more you learn about him, the more you'll pull for his success.
From his poor upbringing, to his struggles after high school, to running around like a madman at Reliant Stadium on Sunday's, Braman's story is fascinating.
And I didn't even write about how he fell into modeling for a bit, his stints as a bouncer (think "Roadhouse"), or how almost all of his teeth have fallen out or been replaced.) And I just found out that Braman played the first two days of training camp with no insoles in his cleats, because he was afraid to ask the equipment guys for them.
I'd love to hear more about Braman's late grandfather, Ivan Cecil Braman, a World Ward II veteran and the family rock, who was 7-4, 460.
Braman might be the unlikeliest of Texans, considering where he came from and his route to the NFL. If you think sometimes athletes don't appreciate what they have, you should read Braman's story.
"When he was a young kid, we always knew that Bryan's heart was going to be able to take him places," his mother Tina Braman-Fields said. "He's so genuine. Had that go-getter personality, knew that he would do good. And be worthwhile. He's a big kid, and big-hearted, who would help anybody."
Braman half-joked that he must have been born to be a Bull on Parade. Even with the last name, sans the "h."
"I'm so stubborn," Braman said. "My sign's Taurus, the Bull. Bullheaded. I am hardheaded. I've just always been that. I don't know why."
But that bullheaded, headhunting linebacker is warmhearted.
"Bryan has a genuine, sensitive spirit within him that rocks," said Anthony "JuJu" Predisik, a counselor at Shadle Park High School in Spokane. "We're just on the edge of seeing great things from him."
Braman is as genuine and real an athlete as you'll come by. A regular guy. Well, a regular guy who happens to have a world-class combination of size speed and strength.
One glance at the bodies in the Texans locker room and it is obvious that Braman is different.
Tackle Andrew Gardner, who is 6-6, is the only Texans taller than the 6-foot-5 Braman, and of the tall Texans (Matt Schaub, Brandon Brooks, Ryan Harris, Derek Newton and J.J. Watt are all 6-5 too), there is no question who is the better athlete.
Braman has been special athlete as far back as anyone can remember. Bigger, faster, stronger. Braman was a star at every sport he tried. Immediately.
A dogged competitor, Braman was always the leader of the pack. One day Braman looked at the javelin and said, "Well, I think I can throw that."
Next thing you know, he was throwing it 200 feet and had posted the longest throw in the state of Washington that year. He won medals at the state track meet in the javelin, long jump and high jump, where his personal best is 6-11 ¾, and competed in the 400-meter relay.
"I don't know if I ever gave anybody a chance really," Braman said. "I like winning and I always wanted to show everybody I was bigger, faster, stronger."
He played almost the entire season of his freshman year with three broken fingers and still dominated. At Shadle Park, which produced one other NFL player (Mark Rypien), Braman's athletic feats were legendary.
In a game against Gonzaga Prep, Braman dominated the line of scrimmage with three sacks and two batted down passes, plus added a special treat with a rousing 78-yard kickoff return.
Jason Jaso, his coach at Long Beach Community College, says Braman, who had 17 tackles in a game, but also won the javelin at the state track meet, is a "decathlete in waiting."
"There's not anything that he can't do on the football field," Jaso said. "He's the one guy you got that could probably play every position. I'm serious. Nobody can do that, but I wouldn't bet against Bryan."
Jaso told me how college scouts were stunned by a play in which Braman blindsided a quarterback, but instead of going for the kill shot, he deftly swiped the ball from the QB's hand, like a statue of liberty play, and raced in for a touchdown. The quarterback followed through, not even knowing that Braman has taken the ball. No one had seen such a play.
While at LBCC, though he wasn't a primary return man, Braman picked up a couple of punts and averaged 31 yards a return. Remember, the guy is 6-foot-5. He blocked eight kicks there too.
I know Gary Kubiak isn't big on trick plays, but I can see the Texans pulling something sweet on a kick return with Braman one of the days, ala Thomas "Hollywood" Henderson in Super Bowl X.
Even his teammates marvel at Braman's build, strength and speed.
"I like to think of myself as a good athlete with a nice build, but Braman, he's on another level," Texans linebacker Whitney Mercilus said. "Man, he is fast, strong and has a lean body. He is special in what he does and there is nobody else like him on this team. He goes out there and puts his heart on the line."
And appreciate all that he has gone through to make it to the NFL.
"We acknowledge that he's a big, sturdy guy that can run like a horse, but I give him credit for overcoming the adversity that he faced in his personal life," Connor Barwin said. "He could have given up on his dream of playing in the NFL but he didn't."

Diary of an Arctic Adventure
Arthur Conan Doyle
University of Chicago Press, 2012 ($35)
Long before he wrote the Sherlock Holmes detective novels, Conan Doyle interrupted his medical school studies to serve in 1880 as a ship's surgeon onboard a whaler bound for the Arctic. In his diary (above), reproduced from the original and accompanied by commentary from two Conan Doyle scholars, the author describes scrambling across ice sheets in search of seals to club and whales to spear, and he sketches pictures of other journey highlights. Memories of this voyage, he later wrote, stayed with him for the rest of his life.

Helen Amy Murray is recognised for her hand-crafted creations that take inspiration from nature and form to create surface relief within textiles.
Helen had previously applied the techniques to leather and suede but The Rug Company collaboration successfully translated Helen's abstract designs into innovative, hand carved, hand knotted rugs.
The results are truly ground-breaking and Helen's Peony rug was awarded the Homes & Gardens award 2008 and the BIDA Award at Decorex Fair in the same year.
"I'm excited by transforming flat materials into a carved, layered aesthetic and making it come to life." Helen Amy Murray
Star Silk
Star Silk is handknotted from silk and the motif is hand carved into the surface. Helen says: "I use this star pattern carved into metallic leathers, but the silk used for the rug really enhances it. I call it Star, but you could see diamonds or little boxes too."

A pulpit for our time
If Forward Movement decided to sell liturgical furniture, this is the sort of thing we'd offer. A company called Little Mountain Productions is now selling the iPulpit. You guessed it. It's a pulpit for your iPad. When I preach from a text, this is exactly how I do it: using my iPad. Paper is so 2009.
Of course, for Episcopalians, that giant Bible with all the highlighting is going to be a prayer book / hymnal combo. And more would probably sell if they could figure out how to stick an iPad into an eagle lectern or something.
What tickles my funny bone is that the URL for this thing is "…gamestands.html". Game stands. But all kidding aside, using an iPad for preaching is no game. It offers few advantages over paper, except that I won't get pages out of order. I also like that I can tweak my sermon in my office between services, and the iPad is automagically updated. This seems to me the way preaching should work in our tech age.
One of these days, I'll rant more about preaching and rave about using my tablet for preaching and teaching.
Wave of the giant Bible to pastorgear.com and a certain bishop who sent me this link. Also, Forward Movement is not going to sell furniture. That references was for illustrative and humor purposes only.

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi
A Life Dedicated to Humanity
Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi quietly transformed lives. For more than forty years, she travelled internationally, offering free public lectures and the experience of self-realization to all, regardless of race, religion or circumstance. She not only enabled people to pass this valuable experience on to others, but taught them the meditation technique necessary to sustain it, known as Sahaja Yoga.
Shri Mataji maintained that there is an innate spiritual potential within every human being, and it can be spontaneously awakened. She emphasized that this awakening, described as self-realization, cannot be purchased. Money has never been charged, nor will it be, for the experience of self-realization or for the teaching of Sahaja Yoga meditation.
The inner balance and stress-reduction that accompanies the practice of Sahaja Yoga meditation has already benefited hundreds of thousands worldwide. The ability to quickly and easily activate our innate, spiritual energy - and experience its benefits - differentiates Sahaja Yoga from other forms of meditation. With practice, individuals are able to direct their own energy and redress mental, physical and emotional imbalances to achieve a state of well-being, serenity and fulfillment.
In addition to Sahaja Yoga, which is now established in more than 95 countries, Shri Mataji founded a non-governmental organization for destitute women and children, several international schools teaching a holistic curriculum, health clinics offering treatment through Sahaja Yoga meditation techniques, and an arts academy to revitalize the classical skills of dance, music and painting.
London – Throughout her life, Shri Mataji found herself face to face with a wide range of people from different countries, circumstances and cultures, and she related to them all with genuine regard. Whether discussing matters of state with world leaders or family issues with a taxi driver, Shri Mataji was sensitive to what is essential to human beings and her concern was always for their benevolence.

HUDSON, OHIO (Nov. 19, 5 p.m. ET) — Rapra Ltd. U.S. will close its doors Dec. 31, less than two years after opening its office in Hudson, Ohio.
In its brief existence, Rapra Ltd. U.S. was a non-profit economic development group for the polymer industry. Group officials said in a Nov. 16 news release that the closing was the result of "an unexpected loss of funding."
The decision to close "was made with deep regret at the loss of our ability to serve as a catalyst of private economic development and (as) implementation arm of so many groups," they said.
Most recently, Rapra Ltd. U.S. hosted a Global Polymer Innovation Expo in Columbus, Ohio, on Aug. 26-29. The event featured 35 exhibitors.
In the release, Rapra Ltd. U.S. President Laura Woods said the group "will live on in many ways," including the collaborations, business deals, innovations and conference networking that it helped to create.
The group was part of Rapra Ltd., a global polymer innovation organization based in Telford, England.

Sunday, Sunday! And less than a week to go before The Big Chill! Yay! Today we're learning about Kathi Langelier and her two ventures, Herbal Revolution and Three Roasted Beets. I can say with personal experience that the homegrown + foraged personal wellness products from Herbal Revolution are amazing. Plus, while you're dropping them in your tea, rubbing them on your face, sore muscles, or whatever you can think of her wandering the woods outside of Lincolnville looking for just the perfect twigs and roots to help your skin, aches and pains, attitude and more.
The Big Chill: What is the first sign of winter, in your opinion?
Herbal Revolution: When the tip of my nose is cold all the time. When the ground is hard to dig in to. When I am ready for bed by 7:30. And my favorite first sign of winter is the first real blizzard of the season.
TBC: What items from your business will keep customers happy + warm all winter long?
Herbal Revolution: There are plenty of herbal products to keep everyone in the family happy throughout the winter months. We have tinctures, elixirs and teas that will keep the immune system boosted, the nervous system uplifted and cheery and the respiratory system supported.
We have some great lotions, cream and oils to keep the skin moisturized and nourished during these drier months.
Lastly, we also have some great knit and felted wear. Arm warmers, cowls, scarves, shrugs and wraps. Plenty of warm wool to keep everyone warm and cozy throughout the chilly months!
TBC: What's your favorite comfort food in the dark of winter?
Herbal Revolution: Roasted tomato and red pepper soup with a fresh mozzarella, red onion and kale sandwich. Warm gingerbread or ginger snap cookies with fresh whip cream And I am a serious sucker for smart puffs cheese puffs as a snack, … oh, and how could I forget a Rogue Chocolate Stout beer to top it all off!?
Wow! Thank you, Kathi, for your thorough replies. We're excited Herbal Revolution and Three Roasted Beets will be joining us on Saturday, December 3rd at Mayo Street Arts Center (10 Mayo St., Portland) from 10am to 4pm. WoohoO!

Not only has Lenovo just released the shape-shifting IdeaPad Yoga range, the Chinese laptop giant has also pushed out a new tablet and keyboard combo, called the IdeaTab Lynx.
Touting one of the new dual-core Intel Atom mobile processors, it runs also runs the full Windows 8 experience, making it quite a persuasive device. Like the Android-based Transformer line of tablets by Asus, this is a product you can split in two, with a separate battery in both the tablet itself and in the keyboard. Lenovo tells us you will get 16 hours of battery from it when both are put together.
The screen on the Lynx is a 1366 x 768 IPS 11.6-inch panel, which looked very good up close. Almost as good in fact as the display on the much more expensive IdeaPad Yoga.
Read: Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga pictures and hands-on
On the sides of the tablet are a micro USB slot, micro HDMI and a microSD card slot. The keyboard adds a pair of USB 2.0 ports. On the front is a 2-megapixel camera, completing the tablet package, along with all the usual Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and a pair of microphones.
The top of the Lynx has a sort of tactile matte effect that we particularly like. We also think its hinge system, while being fairly ugly, is one of the most robust and functional we have seen. A big plastic guide sits around the tablet, ensuring it's secure when slotted into the keyboard dock.
The 11-inch tablet is very light when once the keyboard dock is removed: weighing 640g, it is also just 300.9 x 188 x 9.48mm in size. Add the keyboard dock and the whole thing weighs 1.3Kg.
As Windows 8 tablets go, this strikes us as a quite desirable bit of kit. We didn't have enough time to play with the tablet to see exactly how quick that Atom processor makes Windows 8 run. It certainly felt snappy, but don't expect speeds like the transforming Yoga that Lenovo has just announced.

Master Teacher Program
Teaching is one of the core missions of the Department of Medicine. The department is committed to providing teaching of high quality for learners at all levels in a variety of settings. The ability of the department to achieve this goal depends on the recognition and support of its outstanding teachers, and the creation of opportunities to promote the development of excellence in teaching skills in the faculty.
The Master Teacher Program is a two-year educational endeavour that is designed to meet the learning needs of each participant. Participating physicians attend the program one half-day per week. The program provides a core series of sessions and a practicum. The core series includes sessions on essential teaching topics: small and large group teaching techniques, bedside teaching, assessing learner needs, fostering understanding and retention of knowledge, evaluation, feedback, teaching in difficult situations and others. Visiting professors from Canada and the United States as well as outstanding local experts provide the training for these sessions. Participants may also elect to take additional relevant graduate courses offered at the University.
The practicum is conducted in small groups with participants having opportunities to practice teaching and receive feedback. The latter includes analysis of videotaped teaching sessions and direct observation by peers. It is expected that the group will become a strong cohort that will promote individual growth and development of each member through feedback and interaction. Therefore, individuals participating in the program must make a full commitment to attend all sessions to support this process over the two-year duration of the course.
The program will lead to a "Certificate of Master Teacher" from the Department of Medicine. Interested individuals may elect to take additional courses toward a degree program at the University.
The goal of the Master Teacher Program is to provide advanced training for clinician-teachers to enhance their teaching effectiveness. The program is designed for senior postgraduate trainees (at least PGY-4 and above), fellows, and faculty members, who are working full-time and have major clinical and teaching responsibilities. The program will help physicians develop excellent teaching skills relevant to the clinical settings where they spend their professional time. Ultimately, the program will foster the careers of a cadre of superb "master teachers" who provide the highest quality of teaching for our students.
- The program is a two-year course that runs from September to Mid-May over the academic year.
- The requirements to fulfill the program include one half-day session per week (Wednesday afternoons planned for the September 2018 program).
- Participants are expected to make a commitment to attend regularly (mandatory >75% attendance).
Year One
Core lecture series - The core lecture series will meet every other week for a total of at least 13 sessions for three hours each meeting. The topics of the core series includes: a series of microanalytic teaching skills (learning climate, control of session, communication of goals, understanding and retention, evaluation, feedback, self-directed learning), mentoring, lecture techniques, small and large group teaching, teaching communication skills, etc. A reading program will be included.
Practicum - The practicum includes sessions that follow or are interspersed with the core lecture series. Students present their own work and receive feedback from the group and facilitator. This includes opportunities to observe videotaped teaching sessions or direct observation of teaching (lectures, PBL teaching, etc.).
Year Two
Ongoing workshop with the core group of participants - This is a continuation of the practicum started in the first year. Again, interspersed with practicum sessions, will be interactive teaching sessions on a wide variety of topics relevant to clinical teachers.
Project Work - Approximately one third of curricula time in the second year will be devoted to project work. Each participate, either individually or as part of a small or large group, will work on the development of a teaching or educational deliverable that meets their own teaching needs. These projects will be of a calibre that will allow the participant to work towards presentation at a national education meeting or to publish in relevant literature.
Master Teacher Program participants must have "protected time" to participate in half-day sessions once a week for two years. Since financial arrangements for individuals' time commitments are highly variable, this should be discussed with the appropriate division director and/or physician-in-chief. The Department of Medicine will support the core series and practicum so there will be no tuition costs for active members of the department. For enrollees outside of the University of Toronto, Department of Medicine, an annual tuition will be charged. Further information can be obtained from the program director or program administrator.
The program is available to existing faculty members who have major clinical and teaching responsibilities and to clinical fellows and PGY-4s planning future careers as clinician-teachers. The following materials are required:
- Application form/checklist
- Curriculum Vitae and teaching portfolio/teaching dossier of applicant
- A letter from the applicant describing their present clinical and teaching responsibilities and future career plans. This must include an indication of their plans to commit the required time to the Master Teacher Program.
- A letter of support from their division director and/or physician-in-chief. This letter should include a description of the applicant's present responsibilities for teaching, future role in the teaching program of the institution, and a clear commitment to support the applicant's time to participate in the Master Teacher Program. The half day weekly should be protected time, and there should be a commitment to be able to continue for the full 2 year program.
