| Paragliding Training Course -[15th -16th Sep 2007] | 2007-09-15 08:30:00 | General | What is Paragliding? Paragliding is the simplest form of human flight. A paraglider is a non-motorized, foot-launched inflatable wing. It is easy to transport, easy to launch, and easy to land. The paraglider consists of a canopy (the actual �wing�) constructed of rip-stop nylon from which the pilot is suspended by sturdy Kevlar lines called risers, and a harness. In addition, the brake cords provide speed and directional control and carabineers are used to connect the risers and the harness together. The pilot sits in a harness for maximum comfort. With a paraglider, you can fly like a bird, soaring upwards on currents of air. Paragliders routinely stay aloft for 3 hours or more, climb to elevations of 15,000?, and go cross-country for vast distances. Training Program: Practicing is the best part of learning. So your practical training is our top priority. You are carefully guided - Physically and intellectually. The joy that you derive from the sport, increases exponentially, as you gain knowledge and develop new skills. The Basic Winch launched Paragliding course. This two and half day course is conducted at Hoskote. You spend about three to four hours each session learning the various skills of Paragliding. At the end of the course you will be launching independently. (under the supervision of an Instructor) Course Duration : Two & half days Venue : Hoskote, Approx 20km from Bangalore Time of the day : Morning 8:30 to 10:00 & Evening 4:30 to Sun set : To give maximum benefit we will try to make it a WHOLE day activity like our previous batch. Maximum head count : 8 Members (On First come first serve basis) |
| FOSS.IN 2007 events | 2007-12-04 08:00:00 | General | Dear all
It's that time of the year again, when we reveal details about this year's FOSS.IN.
FOSS.IN/2007 will be held from December 4th to December 8th. That's Tuesday through Saturday.
The venue will be (for the most part) the National Science Symposium Centre (NSSC) of the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. As always, there are plenty of changes, improvements and new things at the event.
The event itself is in two major parts
- The Main Conference, which is on December 6/7/8 (Thu/Fri/Sat)
- Project Days, which are on December 4/5 (Tue/Wed)
The formats of each of these are very different from each other, but both are integral parts of the event. Both will take place at the main venue.
THE MAIN CONFERENCE
The Main Conference (Dec 6/7/8) is similar to the format of the event in previous years, with some dramatic differences:
No Tracks:
Unlike in previous years, the main conference will not have tracks. Each session will be self-contained. While talks will still be classified according to the broad topic, they will not all be concentrated in one hall. This will encourage movement between halls and getting exposed to a
wider variety of topics.
Talk slots:
Each slot will be 90 minutes instead of the usual 60 minutes. However, this does not mean that talks will be that long - each talk will be about 45 minutes talk time, and about 30 minutes discussion time. And there is a 15 minute buffer between talk slots to allow audiences (and speakers) to move between halls, grab a coffee or a snack, etc.
--more--
In addition, the main conference will only use the 750, 120, and 90 seater
halls. The 250 seater is still being considered - we will use it only if
the number of high-quality talks selected exceeds our capacity. The 60
seater hall will not be used for talks (we have other plans for it).
The Main Conference will differentiate itself from previous years in the
way talks are selected. Most of the talks will be by recognised experts in
their fields. Because our Talk Slot format dramatically reduces the number
of talks from previous years, we can afford to be choosy. And we will be.
While we will still have a formal Call for Participation (CfP) for all<
talks, many talks will be invited, and others will be brutally scrutinised
for depth, context and value to audiences.
Talk Feedback System:
In addition, we are introducing a talk rating/feedback system that will<
allow people to comment on and rate talks online after the talk completes.
The feedback system will be moderated and authenticated (you know, to
prevent our friends selling body-part enhancements from turning this into
a market place, but the comments will be public and permanent.
This will achieve two things:
- The feedbacks for each talk will act as a reference for the speakers, if
they need to prove their bonafides as speakers, they simply have to
point at the FOSS.IN site where information about the talk and the
feedback from the audiences will be recorded.
- This will encourage speakers to be far better prepared than some have
been in the past. A last-minute preparation speaker is almost certainly
going to get bad feedback, so the tag was a speaker at FOSS.IN
work against the speaker if she wasn't prepared, but work wonders for
those speakers who do prepare, deliver an in-depth talk and who
interacts with the audience.
Feedback will be on a per-talk basis, not per-speaker, but multiple-talks
per speaker will be an exception anyway - youd have to be a superstar to
achieve that.
Focus:
Both the Main conference and Project Days (described below) will focus on
development and contribution to FOSS Projects. General talks will be
limited to a few, and in general the nature/background of the speaker will
decide whether the talk will be selected.
As it was last year, advocacy and basic introductory talks will not be
accepted. This is to avoid the preaching to the choir problem, as well
as avoid duplicating the efforts of other FOSS events in India.
PROJECT DAYS:
Project Days (Dec 4/5) are new to FOSS.IN. Loosely based on the
mini-conferences made popular by events such as Linux.conf.au (LCA), these
will be an implementation of the topics idea proposed in 2005.
Project Days will be full day sessions on a single topic, and the topic
will be a specific FOSS project. Led by project leaders/contributors, the
sessions will expose audiences to the current stateand future plans of the
project, and show where and how people can get involved. Workshops are
encouraged to be part of such sessions.
The number of projects will be limited. As the 750 seater hall will not be
used for Project Days sessions, sessions will take place in the 60/90/120
and 250 seater halls. That means there can be (2 days x 4 halls)=8 Project

| Workshop On Appreciative Leadership | 2007-12-07 06:00:00 | General | Every person, all the events of your life are there because you have drawn them there. What you choose to do with them is up to you. Richard Bach
The Context:
Rapid change in technology coupled with ever increasing competition has resulted in demanding customers who have zero-tolerance to delay and mistakes. Organizations, faced with rapid change in economic, policy, market and public opinion arenas, are finding it hard to make sense of the change, let alone reacting or responding to it. In addition, young and mobile professionals are growing ever hungrier for challenges and support in the quest for deepening their knowledge-edge.
In this environment, the leaders play a crucial role in enlisting the personal commitment of the professionals for organizational challenges. They play a crucial and critical role in being coaches to build and strengthen the self belief, trust and understanding among professionals, leading to their dreaming big and motivating them to achieve bigger challenges.
Appreciative Inquiry [AI], in the words of Cooperrider and Whitney, is about the co-evolutionary search for the best in people, their organizations, and the relevant world around them. ……AI involves the art and practice of asking questions that strengthen a system’s capacity to apprehend, anticipate, and heighten positive potential.
The Workshop:
The 2-day residential workshop on Appreciative Leadership is designed to help both new and experienced leaders to rethink leadership and experience a paradigm shift in their leadership style. Through experiential learning and learning laboratory methodology the participants will build their competence essential for appreciative inquiry. The emphasis will be on concrete initiatives for building an Appreciative Organization back in the workplace. Hence the focus of the workshop will be learning the spirit of appreciative living and not just the concept, technique or tools.
Using the 4-D process of AI, which is at the core of the program design, participants will learn Encouraging Discovery, Creating Dreams / Visions, Designing Futures and Insuring Delivery.
The workshop will help you to be effective in your role as a leader by:
recognizing the relational interdependence forging new links & network encouraging bonding promoting dialogue & the art of keeping conversations open encouraging the imaginary acting in the moment; and *above all, valuing the positive core in you and your team members.
You will also learn to coach your team members on the above.

| Bangalore Ultramarathon | 2007-12-16 10:00:00 | Sports | Announcing India’s First Ultra Marathon
Come 16th December, Bangalore will find itself on the global running map. For the first time in India, the gruelling Bangalore Ultra will be organised – an activity that embodies the acme of fitness.
Runners for Life (RFL), a division of The Fuller Life, is organising India’s first Ultra Marathon, on Sunday, 16th Dec, 2007 in the outskirts of Bangalore.
An Ultra Marathon is a run where the distances covered by the participants are greater than the standard marathon’s distance of 42.2km. It usually consists of a mix of trail and road running across scenic surroundings.
At the Bangalore Ultra, runners can pick any distance (the favoured one is 52 km) provided they manage it within the 12 hours that the course is open. The distances in an Ultra marathon (up to 104 km) are truly testing and the event attracts runners for whom the only competition is against themselves. That is why the tagline of the Bangalore Ultra is “It’s Tough. Are you?”
Runners for Life is a club for runners. So this is an event by runners for runners. The race caters to serious athletes – irrespective of the time they take to run their distance. You will not find a 5 km race for celebrities here. You will, however, find well-stocked aid stations that will be open for the entire 12 hours, adequate medical resources and committed people to run with. The number of registrations is capped at 200 so that we can provide a high quality race. There are no celebrities at an Ultra.
RFL is confident that their Bangalore Ultra – India’s first Ultra Marathon – will put Bangalore on the running map – and will be the beginning of many such similar Ultras across India as interest catches on.
The official TV partner of this event is Times NOW. This event is supported by the Bangalore Hash House Harriers (BH3)
About the organisers:
Runners for Life, the organisers behind this run, has over 700 runners on their mailing list and their membership includes running enthusiasts of every shape and size including CEOs, techies, marketing folks and entrepreneurs. The club was formed to give runners in the city a platform to run and train together. |

15 international matches were played in this ground and India won 9 matches with different international teams. Australia played 5 matches and lost all of the matches except the last match that was played at Nov 12, 2003 and beat India by 61 runs. In this match of TVS Cup Australia scored a record quantity of 347 runs and it was the new record and the lowest run was 169. South Africa scored this lowest run at Mar 25, 2001.
No doubt that now, Australia is the beat team in the world. If India wants to do well in this they have to be well in bowling and fielding. |
| Announcing India's First Ultra Marathon | 2007-12-16 08:00:00 | Sports | Come 16th December, Bangalore will find itself on the global running map. For the first time in India, the gruelling Bangalore Ultra will be organised - an activity that embodies the acme of fitness.
Runners for Life (RFL), a division of The Fuller Life, is organising Indias first Ultra Marathon, on Sunday, 16th Dec, 2007 in the outskirts of Bangalore.
An Ultra Marathon is a run where the distances covered by the participants are greater than the standard marathons distance of 42.2km. It usually consists of a mix of trail and road running across scenic surroundings.
At the Bangalore Ultra, runners can pick any distance (the favoured one is 52 km) provided they manage it within the 12 hours that the course is open. The distances in an Ultra marathon (up to 104 km) are truly testing and the event attracts runners for whom the only competition is against themselves. That is why the tagline of the Bangalore Ultra is Its Tough. Are you?
Contact data for the Bangalore Ultra
Arvind Bharathi (arvind.bharathi@thefullerlife.com), www.BangaloreUltra.com ,
Phone: 080-4112 3851 (business hours 1o a.m. 6 p.m.)
Runners for Life is a club for runners. So this is an event by runners for runners. The race caters to serious athletes - irrespective of the time they take to run their distance. You will not find a 5 km race for celebrities here. You will, however, find well-stocked aid stations that will be open for the entire 12 hours, adequate medical resources and committed people to run with. The number of registrations is capped at 200 so that we can provide a high quality race. There are no celebrities at an Ultra.
RFL is confident that their Bangalore Ultra - Indias first Ultra Marathon - will put Bangalore on the running map and will be the beginning of many such similar Ultras across India as interest catches on.
The official TV partner of this event is Times NOW. This event is supported by the Bangalore Hash House Harriers (BH3)
About the organisers:
Runners for Life, the organisers behind this run, has over 700 runners on their mailing list and their membership includes running enthusiasts of every shape and size including CEOs, techies, marketing folks and entrepreneurs. The club was formed to give runners in the city a platform to run and train together.
