Neuromotor Control of Gluteal Muscles in Runners with Achilles Tendinopathy
Smith, Melinda M.; Honeywill, Conor; Wyndow, Narelle; Crossley, Kay M.; Creaby, Mark W.
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise: 10 October 2013
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the neuromotor control of the Gluteus Medius (GMED) and Gluteus Maximus (GMAX) muscles in runners with Achilles tendinopathy to that of healthy controls.
Methods: Fourteen male runners with Achilles tendinopathy and nineteen healthy male runners (Control) ran over-ground whilst electromyography of GMED and GMAX was recorded. Three temporal variables were identified via visual inspection of EMG data: (i) onset of muscle activity (onset), (ii) offset of muscle activity (offset), and (iii) duration of muscle activity (duration). A multivariate analysis of covariance with between subject factor of group (Achilles tendinopathy, Control) and variables of onset, offset, and duration was performed for each muscle. Age, weight and height were included as covariates and alpha level set at 0.05.
Results: The Achilles tendinopathy group demonstrated a delay in the activation of the GMED relative to heel strike (p < 0.001) and a shorter duration of activation (p < 0.001) compared to that of the Control group. GMED offset time relative to heel strike was not different between the groups (p = 0.063). For GMAX the Achilles tendinopathy group demonstrated a delay in its onset (p = 0.008), a shorter duration of activation (p = 0.002), and earlier offset (p < 0.001) compared to the Control group.
Conclusion: This study provides preliminary evidence of altered neuromotor control of the GMED and GMAX muscles in male runners with Achilles tendinopathy. Whilst further prospective studies are required to discern the causal nature of this relationship, this study highlights the importance of considering neuromotor control of the gluteal muscles in the assessment and management of patients with Achilles tendinopathy.
Essentially what these authors found was that the in the group with the achilles tendinopathy that:
- Gluteus Medius had a delay in onset; shorter duration of activity; but offset was the same as the control group.
- Gluteus Maximus had a delay in onset; shorter duration of activity; and an earlier offset than the control group.
As with any case control study the selection of the control group is crucial. In a previous study I commented on, the selection of the control group was probably enough to be fatal to that study, but in the case of the above study the characteristics of the two groups were much better matched with only a slight differences in ages (p=0.04).
The biggest proviso with this study is the good old chicken or egg scenario. This was a case control study and not a prospective study. This study presents two equally plausible mechanisms:
- The presence of the symptoms of the Achilles tendinopathy altered the gait and caused the findings with the gluteal muscles
- The findings with the gluteal muscles caused a gait problem that was the risk factor and helped increase the load in the achilles tendon
It is not possible from the study design to say if it is one or the other or both. That does not mean that we should not consider gluteal function as part of the assessment of achilles tendinopathy. Even if it is a chicken or egg, the dysfunction is present and there is a potential that it should be dealt with. What is now needed is a prospective risk factor study on this and a clinical trial.
As always, I go where the evidence takes me until convinced otherwise, and this evidence suggests that we probably need to start considering what is happening with glutes in Achilles tendinopathy.

After a 1-3 start to the season, Northwestern shocked everyone on Saturday, lighting up Iowa 38-31. Yes, we're talking about the same NU team that mustered just seven points in an embarrassing home loss to Illinois State three weeks ago.
So what changed over those three weeks? Not much. The 'Cats just finally played to their potential. We know this NU team has its fair share of playmakers, but a lot of them hadn't shown up until this week.
NU's offense had showcased some of its talent, but didn't put it all together until Saturday. The offensive line did its job, Justin Jackson ran wild, Austin Carr hauled in three touchdowns and quarterback Clayton Thorson "had the best game of his career," according to head coach Pat Fitzgerald.
On defense, there were still issues with an inexperienced secondary, but Trae Williams stepped up when it mattered most, sealing the victory with a late interception. Anthony Walker looked dominant again, racking up 10 tackles and causing havoc in the backfield. Ifeadi Odenigbo, who had been benched earlier in the season, had four sacks and earned Big Ten co-defensive player of the week honors. Even Jack Mitchell made all five of his extra points and a 25-yard field goal.
In short, almost every NU player did his job and played well on Saturday. That's the first time we've been able to say that this season, and Fitzgerald made a similar point after the game.
"What we do works, when we do it the way we're capable of doing it," Fitzgerald said. "It works. It works. We've won a lot of football games, a lot of games by doing it the right way. When we do it the wrong way, we've lost our fair share, too."
That's easy to say after a victory, but Fitzgerald has been echoing this sentiment all year, even through the early struggles. In fact, this quote largely represents the identity of NU football - an identity that is responsible for NU's hot-and-cold performances, and one that isn't going to change any time soon.
In his 11th season, Fitzgerald is already the second-longest tenured coach in the Big Ten, and his staff rarely changes. NU is a private school with high academic standards, and will never reel in the same blue-chip recruits as Ohio State or Michigan. If your goal is to become a first round NFL draft pick, you're probably not going to NU.
Fitzgerald has to work with that talent pool, and he has built the Wildcats' identity around it. Over the last four years, he's proven that his system can work with two 10-3 seasons, but it has also stalled, with two 5-7 seasons nestled in between.
Northwestern has been playing with a very low margin of error, and that's just the reality of who Fitzgerald can recruit. His success is impressive, considering NU's talent depth, but it's unrealistic to expect that level of success consistently.
Early in the season, Fitzgerald repeatedly said the 'Cats were struggling because some guys were trying to do too much and straying from their roles. He stressed the importance of everyone executing the "little things" – if all the working parts don't mesh, or if the players don't play well and succeed in their individual roles, the 'Cats will drop games to teams like Western Michigan and Illinois State because they don't have the talent to overcome not playing their best.
A lot of that starts in the trenches. As we've seen this season, NU doesn't have the offensive weapons to overcome poor offensive line play, and their defensive line needs to be active for the defense to be successful. The Wildcats need to put both together, and then they need their playmakers to make big plays.
If NU isn't able to execute in the trenches, Clayton Thorson isn't going to be successful – as opposed to a team like Ohio State, where an elite playmaker like J.T. Barrett can improvise when others fail to execute. Everything needs to be working in sync for NU to succeed, and that low margin of error leads to inconsistency.
Sometimes, the Wildcats have a dominant unit that can win them games even when everything isn't in sync – the 2015 defense, for example. But even then, NU still got crushed by Iowa, Michigan and Tennessee. In those games, the 'Cats were simply overmatched in both talent and execution.
This year, NU doesn't have the luxury of relying on its defense – almost every player needs to execute for the Wildcats to succeed. When you add the injuries and inexperience, that's a high degree of difficulty, and it's why the 'Cats can lose to Illinois State and then beat Iowa.
As for the rest of the season, it's anyone's guess. If everyone on NU continues to execute to near perfection, the 'Cats have a legitimate shot at upsetting a few more teams. But they just as easily could slip up in a few key areas, and they might fall to a Purdue or Minnesota. Northwestern's talent pool and identity gives it a low margin of error, and unless either of those things change, the 'Cats will continue to be inconsistent and largely unpredictable.

Flavor Chemists copy successful food & beverage products on the market. For a budding young Flavor Chemist, this is fun and rewarding. As our career moves forward, we want to improve on successful products. Jif's®Chocolate Flavored Hazelnut Spread is an attempt to improve on the already popular Nutella® Hazelnut Spread with Skim Milk & Cocoa. Improve, because Jif® has natural flavors; as opposed to artificial flavors in Nutella®. We want all natural food products. Jif® Chocolate flavored Hazelnut Spread is a failed flavor matching attempt and pales in comparison to Nutella®. Making artificial flavors into natural flavors can be extremely challenging.
Both hazelnut spreads contain similar ingredients: sugar, palm oil, hazelnuts, cocoa, skim milk, lecithin and flavors. Jif® lists natural flavors and Nutella® lists vanillin(artificial) and artificial flavors. Jif® is bumpy; the flavor notes come out in "spurts": green hazelnut up front, oily flavor, chocolately notes and a bitter aftertaste. Nutella® is smooth, sweet and full. It tastes like roasted hazelnuts blended with chocolate coated milk caramels. I prefer Nutella® and so does my family. In 3 days, we have eaten over half of the 13 oz jar.
Hazelnuts are grown in Italy, home of Ferrero, and also in the Pacific Northwest. I have a hazelnut tree in my yard with green hazelnuts on it. The characterizing aroma component of hazelnut: 5-Methyl 2 hepten-4-one has been isolated and is available for flavor chemists to use in both natural and artificial forms. This component, also termed Filbertone®, is VERY powerful. It is green, creamy, nutty and slightly metallic. A flavor chemist has to be extremely careful with the level of Filbertone® they use in flavors, sometimes less than 1 ppm. The roasted note in hazelnut: 3(5,6) Methoxy 2 methyl pyrazine has not been isolated naturally…yet. I suspect that this and the lack of vanillin (a creamy vanilla note) contributes to the difference in the flavor profile of these two hazelnut spreads.
The big question for us moms is the nutritional value of these products? I compared Jif® Hazelnut, Nutella®, Peanut butter and Peanut Butter & Co. Dark Chocolate Dreams: peanut butter blended with rich dark cocoa:
|Jif Hazelnut

|Peanut Butter

Jif® and Nutella® have similar nutritional profiles. This mom thinks peanut butter is the superior nutritional choice (low sugar/high protein). I love peanut butter, but did not enjoy Chocolate dreams Peanut butter blended with dark chocolate. If they increased the amount of salt in their product, it would not be healthier, but it would taste great. Currently, it tastes too oily and "it's gotta taste good".

Mobile Transactions: Fundraising's Next Revolution?
As growing mobile use weds with credit-card payment readers and apps, mobile transactions are going to become commonplace in fundraising -- at least that's the opinion of Atul Tandon, president of the Tandon Institute, in an article for "Fundraising Success" magazine. He foresees the day when fundraisers -- whether development professionals or volunteers -- will be able to quickly and easily gather donations large and small at any venue anywhere in the world by using card readers or payment apps with mobile devices. For those who doubt the height and depth of the transactional shift in fundraising, he cites the oncoming wave of a mobile generation. Recent data shows that those who donate via mobile are more likely to be part of the tech-savvy younger generation and more reflective of emerging American demographic diversity, for example. Blackbaud's recent "State of the Nonprofit Industry 2012" found that surveyed fundraisers themselves are predicting "explosive growth" in the use of mobile technologies for fundraising and marketing. That's good news for nonprofits in terms of lower overhead, lower fundraising costs and speedier donation growth. But it's also a challenge. How many are prepared for the coming-of-age of the mobile donor? For the full article, see http://www.fundraisingsuccessmag.com/article/mobile-giving-the-next-revolution/1

I'm not sure that yelling "it's in the title, you fucking idiots" would be the most productive measure to take. I'll look up ways to take screenshots on android devices in the next day or so, and try to send them the screenshots.
Sent another e-mail. I'll keep everyone posted to my ongoing adventures with Google's legal department.
To whom it may concern,
Attached is a screenshot of the material in question. The primary issue is the use of the an existing article on the SCP Foundation website while disregarding the Creative Commons license used by the site. The content of the game is of relatively little concern; the use of SCP Foundation intellectual property and the disregard for the CC license is what concerns the site. Hope that this clears everything up! If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to e-mail me.
Best regards,
Heard back from Google…
Thanks for reaching out to us.

That the app creators saw fit to make a derivative work without inheriting our license is a violation of copyright, not that they didn't make it sufficiently distinct from our work.
Got a thing back. tl;dr: not going to do anything because reasons.

The Google Team
Also, the maker added this to the description for the Stairwell
- - - - This game is NOT associated with SCP-087, IN NO WAY! - - - -
Which suggests that they had some awareness of the complaints, either by finally reading the e-mails I sent (although choosing not to respond) or because Google actually bothered to contact them.
At any rate, I'll try to e-mail them again, but don't hold your breath.
They didn't respond. Their e-mail address gives the name Mikhael Vasilieovich, which leads me to think that they're Russian. I forwarded GeneR this thread and asked him to try to get into contact with them.
Just got this notice from them
Hello. I am so sorry dor the delay in my reply. SCP-432 and The Stairwell were removed from Google Play. First - I don't particularly love making the license. Second - these games are not interesting, I want to improve them and post later with your instructions. Thanks.
And a quick check confirms that they've been taken down. So that solves that issue.

In this age of digital media, everyone is taking photos (JPGs), listening to music (MP3, OGG, FLAC), taking videos (MP4, DivX, MPG, MKV) – and there are plenty of other formats for each of those to choose as an alternative. Equally, there are many ways to consume those formats – Desktop, Laptop, tablets, PDA, phone.. the list goes on.
Over time you may come to realise that you have lots of files everywhere (SD cards, hard drives, USB memory sticks, Facebook, etc). – You probably have also wondered how can you organise them a little better so you don't have to go to one place for pictures, another for music, etc. etc.
If you've not heard of NAS (or Network Attached Storage) already then this might be the answer for you!
What is NAS?
A NAS drive is one or more 3.5″ hard drives contained in an enclosure along with some additional bits and pieces to make it more than just a hard drive. For the technically minded, those bits and pieces are a network port, sometimes a USB port (to enable attachment of other USB devices including printers) and typically a micro kernal flavour of Linux allowing some other features such as the ability to automatically download .torrent files, FTP access, user management, etc. If you're wanting yet more info, check out the Wiki article on it.
The NAS drive connects to your network router and provides the ability to store and retrieve data to (almost) any other device that can connect to the same network. To give you a flavour of just what this means, take a look at the possibilities below!
From this you can see that the potential to centralise all your picture, music and movies is pretty compelling. So what's the catch?
What's the catch?
NAS drives are as fast as the network they are connected to and the activity they are performing. For example, if you had 3 people trying to stream 1080p (HD) video on a 802.11B wireless network they are going to have to deal with slow network speeds and (potentially) one hard drive trying to squeeze 3 HD videos down a small network pipe. You can imagine that won't work well! Also some devices have to do some extra decoding on the fly for certain content (usually video) – again that can add an overhead.
But it's not all bad, is it?
Not at all – personally I have a single drive NAS drive (Iomega 1TB) which serves as a central store for all my digital content. It means I can share media across any device including XBox 360, PS3, laptops and Android phone. Slight frustration is with Apple mobile products; my iPad won't connect without downloading (buying) more software or by routing the content via a PC / Mac which would have to be on to serve the content.
What else should I know?
NAS drives can be bought with the capability to house multiple hard drives. The main reason for this is to provide failover should one hard drive fail. You may have heard the term "RAID" – this basically means that whatever is on a disk is mirrored to another disk so that if one fails, the other disk has the same data to provide backup/failover. Read more about RAID here. This means that you could have 2 x 1TB drives with only 1TB of storage space but redundancy for that capacity.
NAS drives should also come as DNLA / UPnP and iTunes compatible so you have lots of options open to you – many do, but this is just something to look out for.
Also look out for those NAS drives that can act as a Print Server – that means you can connect your printer to the NAS drive and any device on the network potentially can use that printer.
So what NAS drive should I buy?
There are many options; if you have the budget I would recommend getting a NAS drive with RAID, plus drives as big as you're comfortable buying. Check Amazon, NewEgg and CNET for recommendations – I've heard lots of good press about Buffalo; I've had a good enough experience with my iomega NAS too.

This special post has been in the works for quite a while. My beautiful friend Amanda asked if we could do progressive maternity photos throughout her pregnancy – naturally I thought this was a brilliant idea! It has been amazing to see how this pregnancy progressed through the seasons leading up to the birth of Nick and Amanda's adorable son this November. I'm so excited to share some of these images, and am thrilled for Nick and Amanda on the birth of their handsome boy.
Here we started out with the exciting announcement, just as the first signs of spring were sprouting…
A couple months later it was time to find out the baby's gender! Amanda and Nick decided to have their doctor write the gender on their ultrasound printout, so that we could capture the moment on camera when they found out if they were going to have a boy or a girl…….It was a boy!!!
Finally, we did our last set of photos towards the end of Amanda's pregnancy on a lovely fall day. It was a great way to finish this fun series. These two are so darn cute!

They are as close as breath and as near as an embrace. They are not in Heaven or across the great Oceans. There are here, besides you, around you, in you. There, in the corner partially obscured is a tower of blue chairs. There is what you have been looking for...searching. There in a stacked pile of wooden forms is a human hand, mind and imagination...creating something out of this world. No, not in a literal sense, not on Mars or Venus...here in front of you. In a pile of chairs. Here it is - all that is essential, eternal and sacred!

The Sacred, the Essential and the Eternal

I am a Union Man
I attended the Hebrew Union College to study for the rabbinate. The word "Union" is expressive. It represents my personal connection with Judaism (unconventional and unorthodox). The term is used by those who strive to make that ultimate connection that brings one to Heaven's Gate, to the Throne of Glory. Here according to some is where the Divine dwells.
Of course, I have a different take on the matter. I have spent the creative part of my life exploring and discovering elements of the Sacred. And, I find sacredness in interactions, in poetic words, inspired and seemingly coming from outside of me and I see the sacred wherever I point my camera.

Every next step is a journey
Is realizing a great truth a religious experience?
I asked Professor Reines this question 40 years ago. Who were the individuals within the Jewish continuum who changed the paradigm of thought for the world? The answer was: Moses, Moses Maimonides, Spinoza, Moses Mendelssohn, Marx, Freud and Einstein! This truth was accompanied by a racing heart, a pounding pulse and my hands trembled. The truth be told!
That experience - on the uncanny side - led me to the spiritual path, the visual path and to the path of many mystical encounters.

Simulink® supports co-simulation between components using local solvers or that involves simulation tools. For example, co-simulation can involve an S-function implemented as a co-simulation gateway between Simulink and third-party tools or custom code. It can also involve an FMU in co-simulation mode imported to Simulink.
To improve performance, consider running models that contain co-simulation blocks (components) on multiple threads if:
You are integrating multiple co-simulation components
Integration at the component level is computationally intense
This topic assumes that you are familiar with multithreaded programming and concepts.
Simulink lets you run C MEX S-functions and Co-Simulation FMU blocks on multiple threads if they satisfy these requirements:
The block is nondirect feedthrough.
The block is threadsafe, that is, the block can work with multiple threads accessing shared data, resources, and objects without any conflicts.
Multithreaded co-simulation for Level-2 MATLAB S-Function blocks is not supported.
By default, Simulink configures all models to run on multiple threads. However, not all models have co-simulation components that can run on multiple threads, and not all models benefit from running on multiple threads. To see if a model has co-simulation components that can benefit from running on multiple threads, follow these steps:
Open your model.
Start the Performance Advisor tool (on the Debug tab, click Performance Advisor).
Select Simulation > Checks that Require Simulation to Run > Select multi-thread co-simulation setting on or off.
This check verifies that the model or block is optimally configured to take advantage of multithreaded or singlethreaded processing. If the configuration is not optimal, Performance Advisor shows the current setting and warns you that the model is not a good candidate to run on multiple threads.
Run the selected check.
Alternatively, you can manually measure the simulation of the model before and after
changing the
MultiThreadCoSim parameter. For example:
tic; sim('sfunction_components'); toc
Elapsed time is 2.323264 seconds.
ans = 'on'
tic; sim('sfunction_components'); toc
Elapsed time is 4.112674 seconds.
For an example of running co-simulation components on multiple cores, see the
slexCoSimPrimeExample model.
MultiThreadCoSim Parameter
You can specify that an entire model run on multiple threads, or specify that particular
blocks run on multiple threads, using the
MultiThreadCoSim parameter.
Specify that an entire model run on multiple threads if all the co-simulation blocks in the
model are nondirect feedthrough and threadsafe. If some, but not all blocks, are nondirect
feedthrough and threadsafe, identify only those blocks to run on multiple threads. The model
and blocks use the
MultiThreadCoSim parameter as follows.
(Default) Model can run on multiple threads.
Disable the block or model from running on multiple threads.
(Default) Let Simulink decide if the block can run on multiple threads.
Enabling the
MultiThreadCoSim parameter does not mean that the block
or model simulates on multiple threads. Simulation on multiple threads occurs when
MultiThreadCoSim is enabled and:
The block and/or model operate at a single rate.
The block and/or model are threadsafe. (For example, they do not use static or global data).
The block and/or model are nondirect feedthrough.
For S-function blocks, use the
For FMU blocks, leave the
dependencies attribute in the FMU
model description file for the FMU
ModelStructure/Outputs and
ModelStructure/InitialUnknowns field as empty. This attribute
must be (
" ").
The block and/or model is exception-free. For S-function blocks, use the
ssSetOptions function to set
Multithreading does not allow solver reset checks, and therefore skips over any use of
ssSetSolverNeedsReset and
ssBlockStateForSolverChangedAtMajorStep functions. Conversely, in
accelerator mode, if these functions are used or there are continuous states, multithreading
is automatically turned off.
Whether an S-function block runs single or multithreaded depends on the
MultiThreadCoSim parameter value and the
ssSetRuntimeThreadSafetyCompliance function.
MultiThreadCoSim Setting
ssSetRuntimeThreadSafetyCompliance Setting
|Single or Multithread
|Single thread
|Single thread
|The setting is ignored and the S-function block runs singlethreaded
The simulation runs on a single thread for accelerator and rapid accelerator modes.
There is no code generation for co-simulation components.
When the block has these settings, it does not support co-simulation:
Must have a single rate —
ssSetSampleTime(SimStruct *S, int_T st_index,
time_T period) must be called to register only one discrete rate.
Must have a fixed sample time — In
time_T ssSetSampleTime(SimStruct *S,
int_T st_index, time_T period),
period cannot be
Cannot have continuous states — In
ssSetNumContStates(SimStruct *S, int_T
n must be
Must have no direct feedthrough ports — In
ssSetInputPortDirectFeedThrough(SimStruct *S, int_T port, int_T
dirFeed must be
0 for each
input port.
Must be thread safe — In

Dog bite Lawyer Vancouver
Dog bite Lawyer Vancouver: NW Injury Law Center has over 30 years of dog and animal attack experience throughout Oregon and Washington.
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 4.5 million dog bites occur in the United States each year. While dogs are often considered Man's best friend, they are still animals and can react negatively when frightened or acting out of self-defense.
Dog bite Lawyer Vancouver:
In both Oregon and Washington, dog bite laws make owners responsible if their pet attacks someone. Although the laws in Oregon are not as victim-friendly as in Washington, both have enacted laws that protect people from attacks and require compensation if someone is injured.
In Washington specifically, the law makes the owner of the dog strictly liable for dog bites and if it is a repeat offense, the dog may be held liable for all misconduct in the future. Washington law also protects landlords from liability of dog-inflicted injury unless they are the specified keeper of the dog.

Review of Nokia Lumia as a Phone
- Camera: Carl Zeiss floating lens for image stabilization, double flash, awesome low light photos, tap to focus and click and also Nokia apps like Smart shoot and Cinemagraph.
- Rock solid: I won't say anything on this just watch the below video (drop test and hammer & knife test). This phone is true son of the legendary Nokia 3310 – "the indestructible"!
- Smart Nokia Apps: Nokia music (in few words: it is Spotify will offline listening capabilities), Nokia City Lens (an awesome augmented reality app – though not sure how practical are augmented reality apps but it is still cool to show off the app ;)).
- Equalizer + Dolby: You can access equalizer only when you headset and the presets are good to have. Also the Dolby Headphone playback is quite good.
- Wireless charging & NFC: Wireless charging and NFC are like icing on the cake and are present for more of a novelty factor.
- Battery saver mode: The phone automatically turns off non-essential services once the battery charge goes below a certain threshold and save battery for core phone services.
- Nokia Maps: You will be surprised to know that Nokia maps powers most of the maps in the world and due to their acquisition of Navteq in 2011 now Nokia owns all the maps data and brings turn by turn direction and transit maps right onto your phone for free. Nokia has bigger plans for their maps services and they tout to have the best mapping info among all mapping services.
- High sensitive touch screen: You can use phone even when you are wearing a thin gloves. You can also use any metal (read keys) to operate the phone instead of bare hands.
- and many more features such as awesome display, good battery life (with some tricks), etc
Review of Windows 8 Phone
Windows 8 mobile OS is a refreshing approach to a mobile OS. The OS is very smooth and snappy, I cannot see any lags in scrolling or swiping.
Things I Like in Windows OS:
- Live Tiles: Live tiles are the best thing about the OS. Basically it functions like a widgets (like one supported by Android) and you no longer have an array of boring icons sitting on your phone screen. Currently the OS support three size of tiles: smallest is the static icon, next is half width live tile and last is full width tile. From an app developers' point of view, tiles gives you a large area to exploit and further differentiate and showcase their app.
- Lock Screen: The OS supports customizable lock screen and it also allows some apps to make changes to lock screen background. Such as Facebook, CNN or the default Bing (I prefer Bing because of their awesome daily pictures). You can also customize lock screen to show you details status of an app and them quick status of few more apps (as shown in the pictures).
- Me:When you link up all your social network and other account, the OS integrates the experience into one and now you can update status on various social network from one place. It also pulls all notifications and updates related to you into one place (see screenshots below).
- Linked Profiles: When you connect you phone with various networks (Google, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn etc) the OS automatically links all the related profile. You can also manually unlink and link different profiles.
- MS Office: Now you can not just read but also edit word docs and presentations right on your phone. Office provide basic tool-set to edit and reformat the docs.
- Local Scout: It is an app built in Windows OS which finds local places to eat and drink, things to see & do and shopping outlets.
- Skydrive: It is just like iCloud and Google drive, I won't go into any details here.
Things that needs improvement in Windows Phone 8:
- No unified inbox – I have currently manage 7 email inboxes on my phone which includes personal emails and emails I use for businesses. Even though adding emails was fairly simple but there is lack of unified inbox (iPhone does it best) and it is a hassle to open up all the emails separately and keep track of unread and un-replied emails. Also, in the live tile it shows count of only new emails and the count is set to zero once you open the inbox, I prefer count of unread emails and that way I can estimate my work for the day.
Update: Thanks to Arun to point out the linked inbox option: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/how-to/wp7/people/link-my-email-accounts
- Notification center not clickable: The notification on the lock screen is not clickable and there isn't any one central notification center for all the apps.
- List of apps: All the apps in Windows phone are listed in an alphabetical order and it gives unfair advantage to app names starting with 'A' since they get the most eyeball and ultimately when you have more 30-40 apps in your phone it become hassle to go through the list and find names (it is difficult to remember all app names when you have hundreds of apps and specially ones you use very infrequently). The easy solution to fix this is having three more sorting order for the app list: most recently installed, most recently used and most frequently used.
- No AirPrint/CloudPrint: There is no option of printing in Windows phone which in my opinion is a big shame! They added Office support but seems like they forgot that people generally need to print those documents, presentations, spreadsheets? Hopefully Microsoft add this in next update.
- No favorite call list: It is again a shame that there is no way to create a favorite call list. You can pin person's profile to your first screen in mobile but again it is no single touch operation. Also, if I have a list ten favorite people then I don't want to clutter my screen-space with ten different icons representing those people. This is much-needed in the next update (Microsoft are you listening).
- Bing is the default search engine: Though am not sure if Bing is bad or good but when I need to find some info on web I still say "Google it" not "Bing it" :). Sorry Microsoft!
- Apps are not mature: Apps in Windows phone are not mature enough, it looks like most of the app were made in hurry and most probably will improve upon couple of iterations. I do understand that iPhone and Android app have gone to quite a few iterations before being perfect but still you don't expect users to jump from the mature platforms like iOS and Android to Windows.
- Facebook App Sucks:It is again a shame for Microsoft that being one of the biggest and earliest stakeholder in Facebook cannot a get a decent Facebook app. When more than a billion people on this planet are using Facebook you cannot afford to screw that app.. PERIOD!!! Go fix it or get it fixed X-(!!!
- Other apps I wish was available in Windows Phone: A proper Facebook app, Pulse News Reader, Google+ (for hangout), Amex, Flipboard, Saavn (for Bollywood music), Starbucks, Pinterest, ….. and of course last but not the least our own awesome Majikal :).

Good morning, lovely reader! How are you?
Aside from the funny videos and viral memes that make the rounds on Facebook, there are also several people who make the effort to distribute positive, heart-warming material. These can be adorable photos of small children and puppies, faith-in-humanity restoring tales of human heroics, or even a simple "I love my friends" status with said friends tagged and made aware of their awesomeness.
When I was a teenager and email messaging was starting to become popular among my social group, we also used to send each other chain emails: "You are a precious butterfly. Send this email to 320 other people and you will get your wings in seven days" You know the sort of thing. I never did get my wings. Bloody Royal Mail. These emails were (and I suppose still are) sent by people who have the best intentions in the world, but they're not very personal.
One email that you might also remember was basically a long list of nice facts that supposedly applied to everyone, and had been compiled in order to make anyone who read the email feel better about themselves: "someone loves you", "someone is grateful for the help you've given them", "someone thinks about you every day" and so on (and on and on and on). These are all perfectly lovely things, and I do hope that they're true for all of us. But they are a bit too vague and a bit too grandiose, so I thought it was about time for an updated, more specific and slightly more down to earth version:
1) Someone always wants you on their team
Board games, pub quizzes, video games or even actual sports: you in particular are known for being good at something, and someone always thinks of you when they have to put a team together. Your unique set of skills and knowledge make you invaluable to that team, whether you're trying to win a round about anagrams or running around a field with a stick. (That's how you play hockey, right?)
2) Someone brings up anecdotes about you at parties
Not in a mean way: in a fond way. In the way that explains something central about your personality to the people at the party, or reminds the group of an absent friend who's sorely missed. Cases in point: my house mate once commented that Wales were doing quite well in "the Four Seasons" when of course she meant the Six Nations tournament. Another friend from university once re-enacted the Stations of the Cross using a Wetherspoons burger, chips and a lot of ketchup, and we bring that story up whenever we're all together, because we haven't seen him in yonks and we miss him.
3) Someone always thinks of you when a certain song plays
There are so many songs that make me think of specific people. About ten of my favourite songs make me think of my friend Becca, who introduced me to lots of excellent music in our first year at university. I can guarantee that certain songs will remind people of you, and you'd be surprised by how much good stuff comes out of seemingly inconsequential things like that. For example, writing this one has made me realise how much I miss Becca. I'm going to ring her when I've finished this post.
4) Someone enjoys how ridiculous your friendship is
Everyone has at least one friend with whom they act slightly strangely. In-jokes, silly voices and strange traditions abound between old friends. To be perfectly honest, I'm struggling to think of friends with whom I don't have slightly odd habits: for example, one of my oldest friends and I like to make macaroni cheese together, and we have a song about it. That's right. It's called "We Love the Macaroni Cheese". There may or may not be a dance that goes with it. ANYWAY, the point is that with true and loyal friends it's ok to be a teensy bit insane, and the knowledge that we can't behave that way in public makes us all the more appreciative of the people who allow us to be a bit weird. Have you seen this? This guy knows what I'm talking about:
5) Someone walked past you today and thought you were fit
That's just common sense. Look at you; you're gorgeous!
Have a brilliant day. May your lunch be unusually delicious.

The reality maven took to her favorite social media source Snapchat to show off her new do, which included a new shorter mane and stunning silver blonde hue. While silver and lighter hair coloring can be quite hard to maintain we'll admit that out of all the bold hair changes Kylie has made thus far this one is our favorite!

Recently one of my clients needed one product selection lookup dialog with product images in it. The requirements were as below:
1) Images must not be stored in Salesforce, they want to store images in their own FTP server
2) When user click on create new record, user can select Product from lookup dialog, the same time, in product dialog, user can see the images respective to that particular image. So that it will be easy for user to judge the selection.
So, here is the solution i came up with.
1) Store your images in remote FTP server in a folder, for example, i saved my product images at following location:
2) Give images some unique name similar to ProductCode field of your products like CM_111.jpg, CM_222.jpg, CM_333.jpg etc
3) Now create one "Product Image" formula (text) field on product object like below:
IMAGE("http://labs.aslambari.com/products/" & ProductCode & ".jpg", ProductCode)
4) Add this field into your product lookup dialog layout (Search layouts)
5) Now, whenever you will click on any Product lookup field in your org, you will simply see the product image of that particular product code.
Please check the live demo here.
Click on Product lookup field, Select "Product Family" filter , equals to , "Camera" value. You will see all products with images. See below screen shot.
Hope this will help some developers to achieve this kind of requirement sometime.

Hello dear friends,
I'm just letting you know that I miss you. I miss those of you that I usually read and I miss those of you I usually write for. I haven't read anything lately. I'm STILL way behind on answering e-mails (but don't stop writing).
WOW, and I thought the summer was crazy. I've been helping a few family members that really need me and between that and my own household, I've not been reading or writing at all.
We are still here and happily doing our thing, just VERY busy.
I'm sending you all well wishes and hopefully we will return to our regular broadcast soon. 🙂
God bless you,

Apple's iPad continues to dominate the tablet industry – both with general consumers and enterprise users alike. In fact, with the iPad being deployed or tested by 94% of the Fortune 500s and 75% of the Global 500s, it's clear that there's a compelling business use case for iPads.
The sales department is a common landing spot for enterprise tablets, with more reps ditching their laptops for more mobile-friendly options. It's easy to see why; the iPad's lightweight design is ideal for travel, instant-on capabilities allow for faster access to information, and of course, its steady stream of business apps provide busy professionals with tons of control and flexibility.
So which apps make the most sense for salespeople? According to our sales reps, here are the top must-haves:
Salesforce – A free app for all Salesfore.com customers, users can gain immediate access to Salesforce to create and update information. For example, Brainshark's Tim King uses the app on his iPad while on the road to verify information prior to going into a call. "I can update information in SFDC following a call. While I have the app on my iPhone [as well], having the app on my iPad makes it much easier to both see and update information," he says.
LinkedIn – A simple way for salespeople to stay connected and share content with their networks no matter where they are. The LinkedIn app allows you to sync your calendar to acquire profile information about those you intend on meeting with, and of course, stay up-to-date with members in your network and the groups you're part of. As Brainshark's Gavin Blackmore explains, "LinkedIn assists in giving me insight to my accounts, the people I'm working with, and the people I need to work with."
Sandler Training – A guide that teaches salespeople how to be more consultative, maintain the flow of conversation, and keep the prospect both talking and listening. In other words, how to sell the Sandler way! "Sandler provides me with 'The Sales Playbook,' a step-by-step way of going through the sales process [that covers] objection handling, building rapport, understanding the pain/gain funnel – it even has a tip of the day tab," explains Brainshark's Mike Lentz. "This app teaches you how to have confidence and conviction in what you say. [The app] also contains visual diagrams for the folks who prefer visuals to retain info."
Trip Advisor – Obviously, pretty much anyone who travels for a living is already familiar with Trip Advisor. But having the app on your iPad gives salespeople on the road even more flexibility in how they book flights, hotels, attractions, and more. As Brainshark's Beth Cail explains, "It's helpful with giving recommendations when you are in a specific area with a client and want to take them out somewhere for dinner -- or anything really."
GoToMeeting – In case you didn't know, the popular screen sharing service works for the iPad too. Once downloaded, mobile salespeople can attend meetings online from their tablets, view presentations and reports, ask questions, share the screen with others, view attendees, and so on. "I use this app to participate in meetings when I am on the road," explains Beth. "It's really convenient because you don't have to rely on booting up your laptop and can just click on a link from your iPad."
TechCrunch – A great app for reps in the (or selling to) technology and SaaS industries, allowing you to stay updated on all the latest news and trends in an easy-to-read layout. Gavin uses TechCrunch on his iPad and says, "It's great because it provides me with news on tech companies and all the important things going on in the industry."
Box – when you're on the run, you need a place that you can always turn to in order to access any and all of your files. Box is a secure and reliable service that lets you keep them organized in the Cloud. The app makes it easy to share your content, both internally with team members and externally with clients or vendors, all while giving managers or administrators the ability to manage content accessibility. As a rep, you can have the peace of mind knowing that your files are always safe and reachable - that's a win!
SlideShark – PowerPoint presentations have long been a key tenet of sales meetings and demonstrations. The only problem, of course, is that PowerPoint is not supported on the iPad. Fortunately, the SlideShark app converts all PowerPoint slides into iPad-ready presentations, complete with animations, font colors, slide notes, and other features salespeople have come to expect. Users can upload presentations through the SlideShark website and download them to view on their iPads – simple as that. The app itself is free, but companies can also purchase SlideShark Team Edition to take advantage of features like multi-user portal access, account administration, additional storage and valuable viewing analytics. (Note: SlideShark also supports DropBox, GoodReader, and Box.)
What about you? Which iPad business apps can you not live without? Sound off in the comments and share your favorites!

Free UDL Resources
UDL- What is it?
Most of you have heard me go on ad nauseam about UDL- Universal Design for Learning- but if you haven't been exposed to UDL principles- here it is in a nutshell- or an infographic from the UDL Center and CAST.
Essentially, UDL is a way to front load your lessons- be proactive - and provide multiple means of engagement, representation and action & expression.
Why should I care?
The use of multiple means of engagement,representation and expression was demonstrated in a recent pilot test of uPAR here at HES. Students had various selections to read- silently, by a machine voice or by a human voice. It will not surprise you to see that almost 83% of our kids benefitted by these varied methods. What did surprise me was the average grade level increases- +4 to +8 grade levels! So, should all students be allowed to hear the text as they read ? Only if you want their comprehension levels to go up.
Free Resources from CAST
Story Shares
"Story Shares is a non-profit organization devoted to inspiring reading practice and improving literacy skills."
This is a resource which started off on Kickstarter as a writing contest with support from Benetech, the National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD), Orca Book Publishers, and the Center for Applied Special Technology (CAST) and Jabico Enterprises. Now it is a growing platform to support older struggling readers with more appropriate reading material- and as a writer's platform.
I remember trying to use some of the book builder apps from CAST quite a few years ago, and giving up because they were super clunky to use. Things have changed. They have a whole page of free educational pages- http://www.cast.org/our-work/learning-tools.html- that yo can visit when you have time.
I just want to highlight 3 additional tools today.
Book Builder
This tool provides an easy to use authoring tool. The part I like- you can automatically add audio and word by word translation. Is it beautiful? No, but useful.
" iSolveIt puzzles provide an engaging way for students to develop the logical thinking and reasoning skills that are essential in mathematics." These are fun to do- and strike a good balance between challenging and daunting.
"CAST Science Writer, the tool that supports students in writing lab and class reports. This tool is geared toward middle school and high school students. Check out the supports and help available in Science Writer."
"Science Writer is an interactive, web-based instructional learning tool designed to help students in writing a complete science report; it supports students throughout the process of writing a science report. Research has revealed several effective instructional practices in improving the written language performance of students, and Science Writer has been designed to provide these:

Usually frescoes are made when the plaster is still wet, though sometimes artists will add details to plaster when the main part of the painting has already dried. Painting done on dry plaster does not last as long as painting done on wet plaster.
Frescoes were often created directly on walls. The plaster would be mixed and spread on the wall. After about an hour it would be solid enough to paint on. Then the artist would have about ten hours in which to complete the painting before the plaster dried. For this reason, many paintings were done in sections rather than all at once. The artist would decide how much he could paint in ten hours and then mix enough plaster to cover the area. Then he could rest. When he was ready to paint again, he mixed more plaster.
When Michelangelo painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, he created an enormous fresco. He painted one day's section and then, when he came back to paint the next day's piece, he scraped away a little before starting so the sections were connected. Imagine how long it took to paint the entire ceiling and the walls of the chapel!
Check back for tomorrow's post all about the Sistine Chapel ceiling (shown above).

In a scene reminiscent of the days following hurricane Katrina in 2005, churches, nonprofit relief agencies, and government supplies are racing toward tornado-raked Alabama to alleviate what Tuscaloosa mayor Walt Maddox described as a "humanitarian crisis."
Last week's 200-tornado scattershot across the South became the second deadliest in US history, as the death toll rose to 337. With power still out for nearly 1 million people, hundreds, if not thousands, of homes obliterated and water supplies tainted, Alabamians – including official rescue personnel – struggled for basic needs as the shock of the storms that hit the South on Tuesday and Wednesday began to wear off.
"Something as simple as a toothbrush, clothing. There are some people, all they have got is a robe," a Pratt City, Ala. man told reporters. "So, we got to find clothing for them and provide those things for them, so that they can start back rebuilding their lives."
IN PICTURES: Alabama tornadoes
Agencies like the Red Cross, which provides shelter and food in the wake of disasters, continued to beef up resources in Alabama in appreciation of both the immediate need as well as the sheer breadth of damage. The tally of homeless and numbers of properties lost hasn't been completed in part because the state's information infrastructure is torn up.
The lure of personal property scattered from smashed homes also became an issue for overwhelmed first responders. In Tuscaloosa, where at least 39 people lost their lives and 1,000 were injured, National Guard troops were called in to try to stop people from looting broken homes of guns, jewelry, and other valuables.
As in many places around the region, the storms hobbled Tuscaloosa's ability to respond appropriately to a damage path that runs a mile wide for nearly six miles.
"This is a nightmare," Mayor Maddox told the Newshour's Ray Suarez on PBS. "Not only have we lost a large part of our city ... [but] we lost our environmental services fleet ... [o]ur Emergency Management Agency, which handles disaster, blown away. We lost fire stations, we lost police precincts, we lost the main communication tower. We lost our entire ability to provide recovery efforts after this storm."
The Red Cross is currently housing 1,500 people in 65 shelters across the state, but the relief agency had not completed an assessment of how many people or how many supplies it needs to ultimately dispatch to the six-state region impacted by the tornadoes. The Salvation Army reported that it had 38 "feeding units" and one shower trailer deployed in Mississippi and Alabama.
"Throughout the day on Friday, local and state authorities continued to request additional resources from the Salvation Army, as new pockets of need continued to present themselves," said Bill Feist, a disaster services director with the Salvation Army.
Church groups from Ohio to North Carolina are organizing relief trips and filling semi-trailers with clothing and food to be sent into the storm-struck region.
FEMA reported that "supplies such as meals, water, infant toddler kits and tarps begin to arrive, or are en-route to an incident support base established in Maxwell, Ala. The support base will allow FEMA to move supplies closer to the affected area, in case they are needed."
"The first step was to get through the storm," Mercy King, a pregnant mom who barely escaped a tornado in Shoal Creek Valley, Ala., told the Birmingham News. "Now, it's time to start cleaning up and support people who need it."
In Alabama on Friday, President Obama applauded the "American spirit" he saw in action as communities rallied to safeguard victims and requisition supplies.
"We go through hard times, but no matter how hard we may be tested, we maintain our faith and we look to each other to make sure that we're supporting each other and helping each other," Obama said.

In an MSNBC interview with Alex Wagner, Jane Harman of the Woodrow Institute blamed the current chaos in the Middle East on Obama's predecessor, George W. Bush.
Harman also blamed bush for the current "bad foreign policy narrative" and stated her belief that idealism can still play a major role in American foreign affairs.
Wagner discussed recent accusations of America's role in current global instability.
"The breadth of global instability now unfolding hasn't been seen since the late 1970s, U.S. security strategists say, when the Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, revolutionary Islamists took power in Iran, and Southeast Asia was reeling in the wake of the U.S. exit from Vietnam," the article reads.
Since the article's release on Monday, the conversation in Washington has turned towards the cause for this instability. When Wagner asked the global expert from the Wilson Center if the current White House administration—an administration which has been in power for over six years—is to blame for this crisis, Harman patronized the liberal talk show host.
"Oh, dear. Obama came into power in the worst economic crisis since the great depression," Harman said. "The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan certainly were not started on his watch. And he, one of his big campaign things, he never would have voted to go into Iraq. In hindsight, that was the correct position."
Harman went on to essentially pass off any foreign policies woes of the Obama administration on George W. Bush and his years in the White House, placing an emphasis on the crisis in Iraq. But despite these previous leadership woes, the foreign policy expert believes that Obama is still to blame for a few policy errors.
"Anyway, you can't roll back the videotape. He inherited a very dangerous world and I think there's more we can do," Harman said. "Let me not say this is static and we can blame everybody else. he's the president. He's the commander in chief and he's been there 5 1/2 years. i don't think we have a good foreign policy narrative."
But do not be fooled, this foreign policy narrative only appears flawed. According to Harman, those in the Middle East do not like the United States' polices in the region due to the overuse of force and drones. In order to fix this flaw, the Obama administration should outline clearer goals for their pursuits abroad.
"It's very important for this administration to be clearer about what our objectives are. And I actually think the effort, the heroic effort, that John Kerry and Martin Indyk made in the Middle East is commendable, and I think many people there would agree with that. Some would say it was impossible to succeed. But hey, I think idealism does have a place in foreign policy."
