Delayed Commitment
It's funny how you can state who you're not interested in, yet you find it difficult to state who are you are interested in. It's your fear of commitment - you've committed before, you know how rewarding it is to stick with something for a while, but you also know how repetitive and institutional it can be. But you're too young, you're not ready for that, you want to explore the world, stay open to new opportunities, and see what it's like at other places. Your 20s are just too early. Children are for later in life, after your silly flings, one night stands, and drunken escapades. Then you'll be older and decide to settle down, probably with the last boy you met.
At the least, you'll fall in love, more than once. Drifting from one boy to another, letting your tumultuous feelings lead your direction. You say to yourself: "I have time, he's just not right for me" each time you decide not to call back. It's all for the sake of experience, you say, as you look back from the middle to the beginning.
But you're still in the beginning, aren't you? Now you're older, and you realize that as your 30th birthday approaches; some of your friends have kids, and they're going to elementary school now. Left and right are engagements, marriages, honeymoons - if they haven't fallen in love, they just haven't realized they have, you say. And you, you're not quite alone - you still talk quite frequently to your last ex-boyfriend, and you're warming up to him again.
It's not that you're desperate, but you just don't quite have the energy you once had; you're working hard in the middle of your career, but with all your friends settling down and your job in one place - you've already started slowing down. So you work at that ol' relationship you once had - he's older, mature, not rolling in dough as you were once hoping, but doing well. You peek at the dating pool - you're too old for older guys, too old for younger guys - it's a bit of a predicament. But you loved him.
You think about that the amazing times you had with him, and wonder what it was that broke the two of you apart. No, you shouldn't have asked him to not hang out with his buddies. Yes, you should've listened to him more often. And you realize, well, he wasn't a bad guy, you were just the right couple at the right place at the wrong time.
So you look at your options - you're not settling, you say to yourself, but really, you don't have much choice - you're putting on more makeup as your suits get more expensive and your job gets more stressful. You can make it. You just need to work a little harder for him, you hope. Give him more massages, cook him dinner a few more times a month, and it'll be better, he'll be back.
And come back he does. He was sure, you weren't. You see his wide smile and fall in love again. That was why you loved him. How could you ever leave a man with a fatherly love for children and an adorable sense of humor? You hope to relive the wild times you had by visiting Victoria's Secret, surprising him with a little strut in your step - it's the old days again, and you're in love.
There's not much to it, really, there's no exquisite engagement ring, no grand wedding with hundreds of guests flown to his castle, no month-long honeymoon in some faraway, secluded tropical island. Just small little affairs, the best he can manage - besides, there's love, what more do you need? You're both occupied with your jobs, and striving hard to reach the next level of management - maybe you'll reach the top one day.
But it's just a dream, one you realize will never happen when your first child is born. Long weekend trips to campsites with just the two of you are a thing of the past, replaced by time spent comforting late night cries. Now you're balancing parenting with your job, and both seem to be asking for your attention all the time, and you're not getting much out of either. Your husband is stressed too, and the strain on the relationship causes little fights, about little things: who's changing the diapers, him coming home late, you and your business trips. You long for the days were it just seemed like he fit perfectly with you, when he almost finished your sentences and telling the best jokes, but no, there's no time for that.
Little Jonny isn't quite ready to go to school yet when another one comes, this time a girl. You're a little tired, but just as happy as before, and not quite so scared. You've got a little schedule going: daddy cooks three days a week, you change the diapers, no problems. And once he's off to school, you'll have a little more time with Daddy, and maybe you can even stay late at work again to finish up those projects - maybe your boss will notice and you'll be in his eyes again.
Yet school isn't quite as good at babysitting as you hoped - now you're helping him with math you forgot years ago, probably before that night you drank a few shots too many - but no worries, you can learn it again. Susie needs to be watched over carefully too, she's a fragile little princess; maybe she'll marry a prince one day. But that day is far away, and right now, you have to make it through the next week, when your husband is away for business. At least you have the apartment to yourself - maybe you could redecorate.
If you had a bit more money - maybe if you finally got that raise you deserved - then maybe you could have a house, with a lawn, some flowers, maybe even a garden! Then your kids could run around and you wouldn't have to worry about them being too close to the busy intersection or getting lost in the maze of sidewalks and buildings. Maybe if your husband just worked a little harder and tried to impress his boss a bit - if he just ironed his shirts before he wore them instead of leaving them all wrinkly, if he just combed his hair a bit more nicely, then you wouldn't be in this crumbly, cramped apartment.
But there's not much you can do, and soon enough, middle school is around the corner, Susie's disruptive in class, and you're still in the same apartment. Same job, different kids. But you're not a teacher. It's a little tougher - it was hard letting Jonny walk to school, but it had to be done - you just left too early to take him to school, and Dad's schedule is just all over the place. You realize that, well, college really isn't that far away anymore, and according to your friends, it's also quite a bit more to go now. They talk about how they had to put off vacations and trips, even save a little bit more just to put their kids through college, and you begin to wonder - you haven't planned a vacation in a while.
Yet there's no time, really. Jonny's signed up for a million clubs, even a sport too, and Susie is having play dates almost every other day. Sadly, home is quite empty quite often now, as everyone is busy. It's not anybody's fault, really, but no one seems to be seeing each other much. Time isn't moving fast - your career is at a standstill - but the little two are growing fast! You concede that, well, you want the best for them both, and you're going to send them wherever they want to go.
But it's hard, it really is a lot of money - your husband is tired and would rather they pay half, and you relent - you want a vacation too. So they have to pay their living expenses, and good thing you decided early, because now Jonny has time to find a job while Susie is trying to be popular. It looks like a bright future, maybe he'll get a scholarship or two and end up at a private school instead of the state university. He's very busy between school, work, sports, and clubs, so you cook a little more often just for him, even though he's not home quite as often anymore.
As it turns out, Susie isn't as popular as she thought she was, and she has already come home crying more than once already - it can get lonely without an older brother, you realize. You can't even get her the dress she wants for prom because Jonny's school is costing a little more than you thought, and every penny counts. It's a rough patch, your husband is in a low point in his career, hopefully not a mid-life crisis - he's not quite useless yet. It's quiet when Susie isn't home - your husband is becoming a bit of a workaholic too now - and you consider picking up a hobby or two, like knitting or scrapbooking. It's cheap, and maybe it'll be as fun as a vacation, or maybe you can even make money from it too! Too bad work at your job is drying up too, so late nights at work are no more.
Even though it really was never that big to begin with, the apartment just feels empty, even though it's the same one you've with your husband all these years. It was just, smaller back then, even though you have more family pictures lining the walls and desks now, there just isn't the energy there once was. The friends you used to chat with so often are now about to retire, and you just don't go out as much anymore. Looking at old photos too long to admit, you relive old memories, of energy, of desire, of dreams. Those were the days you long for.
Your husband? He's a good father, a hard worker, tired, but spirited. A good man, being with him is nothing to be ashamed of. Yet you're still curious about what life could've been – you look up old friends and boyfriends, and you see that some of them are in higher places, some of them are in lower places, and some of them are in no place to be. Could you really regret anything? Well, it's far too late, for one, but it was a good run, fun was had and despite the tough times, you made it through. You've got a loving husband and two kids, one doing well and the other just making it, but they're happy, and you're happy.

The authors encourage critical thought, investigation and the questioning of current practice in order to improve the leadership and management of sport in today's society.
Ideal for Undergraduate students of sport management, sport business, sport policy, sport marketing and sport development.
Contemporary Issues in Sport Management: A Critical Introduction presents an extensive selection array of absorbing contemporary issues relevant to managing sport. Internationally recognised scholars have contributed thought provoking chapters on current global and local issues that are challenging traditional ways of thinking about and delivering sport.
Hot topics such as corruption, doping, ethics, player transgression, social media, innovation and corporate social responsibility will engage students in thinking about the dynamic nature of sport and organisational implications. The Tools for Analysis and Action Learning questions provide a great basis for students to employ higher-level thinking strategies to the diverse array of incredibly interesting 'real life' Sport Cases presented in each chapter.
This exciting new book is rich in theory and stimulates readers to really think through the associated implications for sport management practice.
With this edited and timely volume, Byers and her international expert contributors provide an expansive and easily digestible overview of key issues in sport management. From a critical perspective contemporary topics are examined within each chapter's introductory, case study, analysis, and action learning sections.
Byers's excellent textbook provides a comprehensive and diverse introduction to relevant issues in the theory, principles, and practices of contemporary sport administration...a useful introduction and reference resource for anyone interested in sport administration and management.
A valuable and useful book for any student of sport management to have ready at hand.
Very good reading and perfect for our course.
A very good overview of contemporary issues within sport management; this is a great supplemental text for students undertaking individual projects/assessments surrounding this issue.
The book covers a lot of current topics and challenges in Sport Management. However, at the same it is very extensive and therefore only parts of the book can be adopted for the course.
It has not been adopted, but is one of several books under consideration for when the course is going through the next remake.
Dear Sage,
you sent me a book which is not relevant to my teaching; I am teaching Sociology of deviance, policing etc
These websites should explain what I teach
Useful chapters on a wide range of topics linked to sport, the media and contemporary society.

The use of interventions on the negative film is also part of the Epoché essay, but no longer with the primary purpose of expressing the materiality of the photographic image (as it is in Material Objects and Yet Present). During my graduation and post-graduation studies, one author that left a deep impression on me was Sextus Empiricus, in the work Outlines of Pyrrhonism. According to him, through philosophy, we seek the truth on maters that are not evident. But if we could take the rational inquire further enough, we would often find the existence of contrary arguments of equal force. Faced with the equanimity of force in opposing arguments, the only rational path would be the suspension of the judgment (called in Greek "epoché"). The dogmatic one is the one who does not take the rational exercise it limits and, by "self-love," places himself as someone who has found the truth. The skeptic would be the one who, for the love of humanity, would continue the rational exercise until the equanimity of forces and the subsequent suspension of the judgment. This suspension, by mere act of chance, gives the skeptic the tranquility (called in Greek "ataraxia"), which was initially what he aimed at in his quest for truth.
At many occasions I wondered how to visually express the suspension of judgment, as a means to take the viewer to ataraxia. This is a question to which I always return. In the Epoché essay, I seek the midpoint between the representational and the abstract, to suspend the viewer's belief in the reality of what is photographically portrayed. To achieve this aim, I lay over the negative transparent elements, to force vision to move away from the elements recognized in the image to spatial arrangements of colors and shapes. In several pictures of the essay, the result is the doubt whether the image portrays something that exists or is the result of assembling the colorful transparent parts. What is left to me is to hope that the spectator, as well as the skeptic, when suspending the judgment on the reality of the content portrayed, finds, as if by chance, the ataraxia in the contemplation of the image.

Confession (Tomboy): Easter was invented specifically to remind us that we must eat all animals, especially super cute baby ones, because even the candy is shaped like rabbits and lambs and chicks and eggs. Most people don't cook rabbit, though. But they do cook pork! I love pork. I love pork chops and bacon and ribs and pork belly and HAM. Mmm, ham. I had some spiral honey glazed ham for dinner, along with some asparagus in hollandaise sauce and scalloped potatoes. Ordinarily I pass up asparagus - because it looks ridiculous and tastes rubbery usually- but with the sauce, it quickly surpassed the potatoes as my favorite side dish. I didn't even have room to eat my choco-bunny, but that just means I can extend Easter a little bit longer.
Confession (Femme): Easter Sunday at my mother's was quite lovely! The weather was great, my younger brothers had their usual three stooges shtick going and I plied my folks with enough booze to keep things nice and breezy. M, the petite and I went on a midday bike ride in search of a pond and some cows grazing in a field nearby. There was a fine meal and hunting for Easter eggs and my mom even let me copy down some recipes from my beloved and much guarded Grandma's recipe box. During all of this, a lifetime mystery was solved. Y'all know how I'm the most fussy, persnickety eater ever?
Get this: When I was born, not only did my mother have a diaper service come along to the house several times per week, she also made all of my baby food herself. By hand. Without exception. Super hippie-yuppy stuff (for 1980, anyway). She kept it all up for at least two years until my brother came along, at which point she did what any self-respecting mother would do, which was to throw up her hands and say, "To hell with all this shit! Disposable diapers and Gerber FTW!" But because every fruit and vegetable I'd had until then had been pureed to high heaven and back from its original organic form, introducing me to the actual textures was never successful. This was compounded by my asshole father's strict parenting, which allowed zero room for the occasional normal fussy eating of children, much less bringing me 'round to new textures in a non-traumatic way. Not only that, but my mother's aversions to certain textures mirrors mine exactly, to this day.
M sat across the table completely bewildered, partly speechless and partly actively engaging in the unraveling. It is no wonder that I'll branch out and be more adventurous so long as the texture of whatever scary food is rendered almost completely unknown. I'll throw fruits I'd never eat whole into a blender for a smoothie. I'll refuse to eat corn any other way than on the cob - even if you cut it off with a knife right in front of me, I probably wouldn't eat it.
I realize all of this would be settled rapidly in by living for a few weeks in a third world country, and trust me, I've considered it. M has made me much braver than I used to be, and we're continously making little deals with one another - I'll try something she wants me to try, if she does something I want her to do (and no, it's not always dirty!). There's still hope for me yet!
PS. I stole this blog post title from my friend's Easter photo album. It was too cute to not share!
PPS. Before you even bother to ask, yes of course I rode the bike in this dress, heels and gloves. It was a very fancy bike ride.

He is an enthusiastic kirtaniya with a powerful voice. I was not there when he started his session, but Swami Veda was. Swamiji sent for me, saying that I would not want to miss this. Krishnananda was doing Krishna bhajans at the time. He often sings a Sanskrit stotra solo and then breaks into a Malayalam, Sanskrit or Hindi bhajan to which his disciples are an equally enthusiastic chorus.
Afterwards, Swami Veda gave, as he often does for visiting performers and sadhus, a token of appreciation. You can get a glimpse of Swami Krishnananda's personality from this picture.
Someone snapped this picture of me during the kirtan. I look pretty meditative. Likely it is because soon after I arrived, the Swami started doing kirtan for Rama, Shiva and other demigods--even the Navagrahas. So I was appreciating his voice, but not so much the content.
After the performance, we went up to Swami's dining room to eat. Krishnananda Swami and I were introduced. He took one look at me and said, "After eating, we will go back downstairs and do 15 minutes of Hare Krishna. And you must dance." He spent about five minutes eating and then was madly off in all directions.
Surprisingly, Swami Veda also came downstairs into the meditation hall and contrary to habit, did not sit in his vyasasan type chair, but on the floor. He said of K.S. that, "Most people start kirtan slow and work up into high gear, but you start at top speed." In Mayapur, the kids used to call me "Rail Gari" because I led kirtans as though I was driving a train. Anyway, that is the way Krishnanandaji led the Hare Krishna kirtan.
There was no getting out of it. I had to dance. And soon everyone was whirling around like a bunch of dervishes. Men and women. As a matter of fact, the rather grave looking woman to the far left of the Swami in the second picture above was a rather impressive figure with a lot of elegant moves. Swami gave of himself energetically.
It went on for half an hour and then we all calmed down with three minutes of silent meditation...

About Listed Buildings Listing is the way that a building or structure of special architectural or historic interest is recognised by law through the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997. We list buildings of special architectural or historic interest using the criteria published in the Historic Environment Scotland Policy Statement. The information in the listed building record gives an indication of the special architectural or historic interest of the listed building(s). It is not a definitive historical account or a complete description of the building(s). The format of the listed building record has changed over time. Earlier records may be brief and some information will not have been recorded. The only legal part of the listing is the address/name of site. Addresses and building names may have changed since the date of listing and if a number or name is missing from a listing address it may still be listed. Listing covers both the exterior and the interior and any object or structure fixed to the building. Listing can also cover structures not physically attached but which are part of the curtilage of the building, such as boundary walls, gates, gatepiers, ancillary buildings etc. The planning authority is responsible for advising on what is covered by the listing including the curtilage of a listed building. Since 1 October 2015 we have been able to exclude items from a listing. If part of a building is not listed, it will say that it is excluded in the statutory address and in the statement of special interest in the listed building record. The statement will use the word 'excluding' and quote the relevant section of the Historic Environment Scotland Act 2014. Some earlier listed building records may use the word 'excluding', but if the Act is not quoted, the record has not been revised to reflect current legislation. If you want to alter, extend or demolish a listed building you need to contact your planning authority to see if you need listed building consent. The planning authority advises on the need for listed building consent and they also decide what a listing covers. The planning authority is the main point of contact for all applications for listed building consent. Find out more about listing and our other designations at www.historicenvironment.scot/advice-and-support. You can contact us on 0131 668 8716 or at email@example.com.

|What's in your wallet?
Are you carrying the burdens of living this life in this depressed economy. Trying to provide for your family; keeping up with mortgage, groceries, utilities, car payments, and maintenance? Are you in a job (if you have one at all) you don't like, spending more time there than with your family? Well, exchange them for Jesus' burden.
Give your cares, worries, troubles, burdens to Him and you will find rest.
"What?" you ask. "It can't be that easy?"
But it is. It's that easy. Jesus came that we might have abundant life if we just believe HIM. Not just believe in Him but believe HIM and what He says is true.
We have to change our way of thinking and speaking. We have to begin to confess our desired outcome. Say things like "I am blessed" "I have more than enough to pay my bills and to be a blessing to others" Speak the Word about your situation. Oh yeah and give Him thanks and praise. Show grace, mercy and forgiveness to your family, friends and co-workers. Love is the motivator. Because He first loved us.
So, lay your burdens down and strap yourself to His yoke. When you do, you'll find that He bears most of the weight. He said his yoke was easy and his burden was light. Make the exchange..."What's in your wallet?"

MLM-Network Marketing companies are a FANTASTIC way to earn income. A part time income, a semi full time income, a way to make six-figures if you really buckle down and work for it. The skies the limit when it comes to network marketing.
Having been a network marketer before I saw the dynamics of the organizations, how to make the most of it, but I also saw quickly what were absolute no-no's, don't do's, you're sabotaging your business mistakes that so often were taught but never taken seriously.
Now, i'm not an active network marketer anymore as I branched out into my own business, however I now coach a LOT of moms who are running network marketing businesses. Many of these moms receive great training by their companies, their uplines, and friends. But there are a number of network marketers who somehow think the training and rules don't apply and they just WING IT, if you will.
Let me just say this is a HORRIBLE idea because in the end you wont see your business grow and you will likely burn a number of bridges in the process. There are only so many times your friends can receive the same "Hey I going XYZ company and I'm just in LOVE with it, are you interested in buying-seeing-taking a look at my product" without you actually asking how they've been or talking to them regularly.
Like I said, I was a network marketer and I did quite well for myself. However, it was not an easy beginning for me and I'm here to share my mistakes (and mistakes of others i've had the unfortunate pleasure of dealing with) to help you avoid them too!
1. If you don't love the product…. DON'T sell it!!
First and foremost, for the love of all that is holy, do not try and sell a product you yourself have not used or enjoy using. You must first be a customer before you can be a sales person. I promise you will NOT make a ton of money selling something you don't use yourself. I have sadly witnessed a number of people who get into network marketing because someone told them they could make money and lots of it. They didn't think about the product they would be selling they simply had their eyes on the prize of money. BIG MISTAKE! If I never worked out a day in my life or simply hated working out I wouldn't sell fitness programs. People will see right through you if you are not a product of the product.
2. Don't Lie
While this should be common sense it is sadly overlooked more than it should be. When you are talking to a potential customer do not tell them something about your product that you simply can verify. That wrap will NOT make you lose 20 lbs, this pink drink will NOT make you skinny in a week, this oil will NOT make your life calmer all around, no you can NOT eat what you want-workout and get the goal body you want, no these leggings will NOT make you instantly more attractive to others, no your crows feet will not disappear as soon as you rub this cream on them the first time….. Do you see where I'm going with this?
Share with people actual information and I assure you that you will create life long customers through honesty. Results will vary from person to person- truth. This company does not guarantee any level of income- truth. You will not see instant success you must work for it but it can pay off if you do so - truth. You will have clearer and more younger looking skin but it is a process - truth. Again, you don't need to make things more shiny than they are to make a sale, you simply need to be honest. Because those people looking for quick fixes will not be the long term customers you are looking for.
ALSO, do not go around telling people you make consistent 4-5 figures a week/month if you're not making that. I promise people will see right through it. While there may be some people who are gullible and will follow you in hopes of doing the same, the others who are already skeptical will go check out your social media platforms to see if what your saying matches your lifestyle. If you're making 5 figures each week but you've got grainy cell phone photos someones going to wonder why you can't afford a better phone for better pictures. If you're saying your making 4 figure each week yet your saying how you're not sure if you'll have enough money for groceries this month you might lose some followers and potential clients. If you're saying your making 5 figures a week and only have 100 or less followers combined on your platforms someone may call horsehockey. <— All scenarios that I've seen first hand.
Just don't lie, be 100% honest with your audience and you will grow much quicker and achieve the long term customers you're hoping for!
3. Don't Be Shy
It's fantastic that you have a lot of friends on social media. That will come in handy when you start your business but I promise it's not enough to sustain a long term business. While your friends and family love you, they can only take your business posts and messages for so long before they become annoyed. You need to branch out and "network" in order to grow your audience of individuals who are interested in what you have to offer. You must be willing to get out of your comfort zone in order to reach new people. Find others who you have common interest with and make a connection with them. NO i don't mean someone loves puppies and so do you so send them a message about your business and offers. I'm saying find someone else who loves puppies and send them a message about their furkid, ask them questions, get to know them, build a relationship. Overtime you can introduce your opportunity to them but you must first build a solid foundation with them before pitching to them. This is also a great way to make lasting friendships too!
4. Giving Up
Running an MLM/Network Marketing business can be hard! But it's NOT impossible. You are going to hear NO a LOT but you have to keep pushing forward. There isn't a single thing on this planet that will give you everything you ever want instantly and network marketing will be the same. I guarantee when your upline present the idea to you they did not get a YES LETS DO THIS from you at first. I'd bet money that your upline heard no from you a number of times before you decided to jump onboard with the opportunity. Now that you're here do not quit! You CAN do anything you put your mind to, but it is going to take some work, struggle, a lot of no's, and persistence.
It's time to go set and crush your goals!
Be you, be authentic, be bold, be awesome, and never give up!

Wrong to Cheat if Your Wife Stops Giving You Some?
Good morning, Shirley and Steve, I have a serious problem. I have been married for 4 years now, and we have a 3-year old son. Everything has been going well: we both make good money, take trips often, she lets me hang out with the boys with no problems, and vice versa. I spoil my wife all of the time. She gets whatever she wants. I take care of our son, cook, clean, while she goes out with her friends, sometimes every weekend. Here's the problem: she's stopped having sex with me. I don't know why. We have tried talking about it, we have even gone to therapy. Nothing works. I'm a Christian man, so I've prayed about this, but nothing has changed. Then, I met A Breath Of Fresh Air: she is single, beautiful, friendly, and likes to have sex. We started out as friends, but the more I opened up to her, the more she's received me: literally. She is WONDERFUL IN BED, and I never have to want for anything with her, sexually. She doesn't want me to leave my family; she is just helping me out through a rough spot. I don't even know what to do about my marriage. Having sex with my wife is extremely important. Steve, I KNOW you understand what it's like to have sex with your wife. That's all I want. I don't want to step out, or be with ANYONE else, but I don't know what to do. I shouldn't ask if it is wrong to cheat on your wife if she stops giving you some. The question should be, am I justified in cheating? Thanks. Signed, FRUSTRATED

Surface Phone Existence Confirmed By Microsoft China
There have been a lot of rumors and patents surfacing online about the alleged 'Surface Phone.' But recently, Microsoft China appears to shed some light as it seemingly confirmed the smartphone's existence.
According to MSPoweruser, Cortana support of Microsoft Asia Research Institute unintentionally established the existence of Surface Phone. This occurred when a user complains about Zhihu about the poor integration of Cortona on Android. The Microsoft Engineer stated that this was due to lack of consents on the operating system. The engineer further stated that "he's looking forward to the flawless performance of Cortana on Surface Phone."
Nevertheless, latest technology news revealed that the answer was later edited as he adds "but we do not know there will be a Surface Phone." This has been speculated to be an attempt to downplay further estimation regarding the renowned device. Additionally, it was suspected that if anyone would know about the Surface Phone, then it would be Microsoft Research.
Latest technology news reveals that Microsoft is speculated to release the smartphone that is dubbed as Surface Phone or Andromeda sometime later this year. Since it is related to Surface, the fans of the Redmond-based tech giant can anticipate it to have a near faultless design and a premium finish together with great specs and features.
As a matter of fact, Neowin has learned that alleged Surface Phone is anticipated to have a dual-screen display having a foldable hinge. It is believed to be powered by ARM processors. In contrast with Windows 10 Mobile devices, it is predicted to run on a full version of Windows 10. The Surface Phone's OS is expected to be backed by adaptive UI shell enabling its transformation between different form factors. It can be recalled that Microsoft has already patented some of the design which might be the plans for Surface Phone or this can be another project that is not known yet.
What do you think of this revelation? Please share your thoughts and opinions in our comment section below.

North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum today appointed Lise Kruse to lead the state Department of Financial Institutions, where she has served as chief examiner of banks since January 2011. The department oversees North Dakota's state-chartered banks and credit unions as well as other financial companies. Kruse replaces Commissioner Robert Entringer, who in May announced he will retire Nov. 30.
As chief examiner of banks, Kruse oversees the department's 16 bank examiners and the examination process. She was originally hired by the department as a financial institutions examiner in June 2004. Prior to that, she worked as a competitor research specialist with Clarica Life Insurance Co. in Fargo for about seven years.
"With her strong management and analytical skills, Lise Kruse has played an essential role in the Department of Financial Institutions providing consistent regulation and sound oversight of our state-chartered banks," Burgum said. "Her background in information technology will serve our citizens well as financial institutions continue to evolve and adapt to the 21st century economy."
A native of Elverum, Norway and a North Dakota resident since 1997, Kruse earned a bachelor's degree in business and organizational communication in 1996 from Concordia College in Moorhead, Minn., and a masters of business administration degree with an emphasis in information technology in 2003 from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. She graduated from the Colorado Graduate School of Banking in Boulder in 2012 and has served as chair of the Conference State Bank Supervisors' Risk Identification Team.
"I am humbled and honored by the opportunity to serve on Governor Burgum's team," Kruse said. "I'm grateful for the privilege to lead the Department of Financial Institutions and continue its important mission of ensuring the safety and soundness of our financial institutions."
Burgum also expressed his gratitude to Entringer for his 35 years with the Department of Financial Institutions. Entringer was appointed commissioner in January 2011 by then-Gov. Jack Dalrymple and was reappointed by Burgum last December. This appointment requires confirmation by the North Dakota Senate.

Setusamudram hey kaarasthan (Setusamudram is a conspiratorial place)
Press Release:
Janata Party President and former Union Cabinet Minister, Dr. Subramanian Swamy today circulated a letter to the petitioners in the Rama Setu case in the Supreme Court to seek time on Monday [when the Union of India is making a mention before the Chief Justice for a priority listing] to file an interloculatory application to extend the Stay granted on August 31,2007 against the damaging or destroying of the Rama Setu, to staying the entire Sethusamudram Ship Channel Project[SSCP] till the certain urgent matters of conflict of interest are heard by the Court.
In his interloculatory application, it is learnt that Dr. Swamy has documented how the ship channel project will profoundly benefit Union Shipping Minister Mr. T.R. Baalu's sons and two wives[which itself is a criminal offence itself under Section 494 of IPC and carries a seven year punishment] as large shares of owners of Meenam Fisheries Limited as well as the Tamil Chief Minister Mr. M.Karunanidhi's wife Rajathiamma and daughter Kanimozhi as major share holders of Westgate Logistics Limited. Both companies will directly benefit from the project because at present Meenam's fishing trawlers and motorised boats presently have to travel from Port Blair to Kakinada for a longer distance around Sri Lanka for sea food exports[ about $ 2 million in value annually]. Westgate business will also boom once the project is implemented because it's main business is stevedoring, piloting and customs & freight handling which with the claimed increased ship traffic from Tuticorin to Chennai and to Kolkatta will increase business of the Westgate Logistics. Dr. Swamy has pointed out in his application to the Supreme Court that both Baalu and Kanimozhi have admitted owning shares in these companies in their affidavits filed as candidates in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha elections respectively.
Dr. Swamy has also written to the Prime Minister seeking sanction to prosecute Mr. Baalu under Section 11 and 13 of the Prevention of Corrupton Act. He told Jaya TV that he was examining whether to ask the TN Governor for sanction to prosecute the Chief Minister Mr. Karunanidhi for the same reason.
He also said that he is examining whether the recent contract given for dredging in the SSCP by the Dredging Corporation of India to the Belgian company, Dredger International had anything to do with Ms. Sonia Gandhi's receiving the Belgian King Leopold Golden Cross medal and honorary citizenship. Officers of the Dredger International were in attendance when Ms. Gandhi went to Brussels to kneel before the King and receive the award. The Election Commission has yet to pronounce on her MP disqualification petition on this matter, after sending her a Notice.

Sonia gets Belgium's Order of Leopold
H S Rao in Brussels | PTI | November 11, 2006 | 22:09 IST
In a unique honour, Belgium on Saturday conferred the Order of Leopold, the country's second highest civilian award, on Sonia Gandhi, Congress president and United Progressive Alliance chairperson, for her "constructive nationalism" and her efforts to foster a multicultural, tolerant society in India.
Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt presented the decoration 'Grand Officer of the Order of Leopold' on Sonia in the presence of a galaxy of leaders including Belgian Foreign Minister Karel De Gucht, Viscount E Davignon,Indian Council for Cultural Relations Chairman Dr Karan Singh,ICCR Director General Pawan Varma and India's Tourism Minister Ambika Soni.
Previous recipients of the Order of Leopold include Yugoslav Communist leader Josip Broz Tito and former US president Dwight Eisenhower.
At the same venue, Bozar, where a four-month long festival of India is being held, the Brussels University conferred a honarary doctorate on Sonia.
Prof Bvan Camp, rector of the university, conferred the doctorate on Sonia for distinguishing herself in her areas of work and contributing significantly to society.
Previous recipients of the university doctrate include Nelson Mandela, former president of South Africa, Lord Yehudi Menuhin, world famous composer, Brezed Cullar former UN secretary general, Dr Willy Brandt, former chancellor of Federal Republic of Germany and Sir Peter Ustinov, ambassador of UNICEF.
King Albert II hosted a lunch on Saturday afternoon in honour of Sonia in which members of the royal family including Prince Philippe, Princes Mathilde, Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt and Foreign Minister Karel De Gucht were present at the Royal Laeken Castle in Brussels.
Official sources said the luncheon by the king in honour of Sonia assumes significance in view of the fact that the President of Pakistan Pervez Musharraf, who had visited earlier in September, failed to get an audience with him.
Responding to the honour conferred on her, Sonia said, "I do believe that by conferring this distinction you are recognising not the individual that I am, but the values that I have imbibed and stand for."
She said that she was but 18 when she met her husband Rajiv Gandhi and not long after that she married and moved to India.
"I am reminded of what my mother-in-law Indira Gandhi used to say, 'One's real education is in the university of life'," she said.
"What I am today is largely because of being a member of the remarkable family into which I married, and because of the love I've received throughout from the people who have accepted me as one of their own," Sonia said.
Referring to the 'Festival of India' that has come to Europe after a decade and half, the UPA chairperson said she was delighted that it was being held in the magnificent premises of the Palais de Beaux Art.
Noting that the choice of Brussels for the festival is a considered one, Sonia said, "Your beautiful city has become in many ways the capital of the European Union. It is the seat of the European Parliament and the European Commission. It has a great sense of culture and history."
She said the exhibition inaugurated on Saturday was part of the Festival of India and was unique.
"This is the first time that so many rare priceless sculptures have been taken abroad from among the treasures housed in museums all across India," she said.
Tejas, the name given to the collections, is a Sanskrit term that implies "effulgence, radiance, energy". It symbolises the enduring dynamics and creativity of Indian culture.
"Tejas profiles India's civilisational journey over 1,500 years of a most formative period of its past," she said.
"Going back in unbroken continuity to the dawn of history, our history is an inclusive one," Sonia said.
Over the centuries it has absorbed influences, faiths, ideas and people without compromising its essential integrity and strength, she said.
"Today our nation is a land of diversity and variety on a constitutional scale," she quoted India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru vividly describing India as "an ancient palimpsest on which layer upon layer of thoughts and reverie had been inscribed and yet no succeeding layer had completely hidden or erased what has been written previously."
"Though outwardly there was diversity and infinite variety among our people. Everywhere there was that tremendous impress of oneness, which has held all of us together for ages past, whatever the political fate or misfortune had befallen us," Sonia quoted Nehru as saying.
"We are proud that our culture reflects this. We happen to be the birthplace of four of the world's major religions and home to the second largest population of another faith, Islam," Sonia said.
Noting that India was no stranger to Europe, Sonia said the formidable scholarship of Indologists in various countries of this continent has not only made the world aware of India in its various manifestations, but also made Indians themselves aware of their own history and heritage.
"Being inheritors to a historic heritage is both empowering and humbling. It is empowering because of the remarkably old roots of our nation's composite character. It is humbling because of the enormous responsibility it places on us to preserve it and make it accessible to others," she added.
She said in the modern world there is much that India and Belgium share in common. "Democracy, rule of law, freedom of speech, independent judiciary, a free press and protection of human rights are fundamental values to which our two societies are wedded," Sonia said.
"In the area of economy and trade, our two countries have been expanding and deeping their partnerships. Belgium is the second largest trading party for India with the EU. Our bilateral trade crossed 8 billion euros in 2005, much of it contributed by the diamond trade. In recent years, there has been renewed interest in India because of its economic and technological achievments and because of the contribution of its diaspora. But the India that is on display here is a different one," she said.
"It is an India rich in its philosophical thought, multiple faiths and beliefs. It is an India that once 2,000 years ago had proclaimed vasudeva kutumbakam -- the world is one family," she added.
