As a coach, the opportunities to learn, grow and develop have never been more accessible with the myriad of articles, books and podcasts available via the internet, social media or from your favourite bookstore.
The natural growth mind-set of coaches means we are always on the look-out for opportunities to improve, be it our knowledge on the latest techniques in teaching skill, expanding our communication skills or growing as a leader.
Reading remains such an important skill for coaches. The written word provides opportunities for learning, reflection and growth and for busy coaches, is also a great tool for relaxation.
Podcasts have quickly become the busy coach's best friend for learning. Whether it is driving to a game across the city or a long road trip, podcasts provide an easy opportunity to listen to and learn from leaders and high achievers across a range of fields of expertise.
In part one of our blog on "Developing Your Knowledge Through Reading and Podcasts", we asked some coaches and coach educators around the country for their favourite books, articles and pods.
Michael Czepil – High Performance Coach (Metro), Basketball Victoria
Positive Coaching Alliance: PCA Development Zone (podcast)
A podcast that I have found great value out of over the last couple of years is the Positive Coaching Alliance. The PCA is a non-profit organisation that operates to the motto, Better Athletes, Better People. A great online resource, the PCA has had a number of high-profile guests appear on their podcast:
- Daniel Coyle – author of The Talent Code
- Sandy Brondello – current Australian Opals Head Coach
- Jay Bilas – ESPN analyst
- Jon Gordon – bestselling author (The Energy Bus, You Win in the Locker Room First) Brad Stevens – Boston Celtics Head Coach
The messaging across a lot of what I have listened to is how coaching and teaching at the youth level, when done in a particular manner, can impact the athlete for decades to come. The content is definitely varied, with podcast titles ranging from –
- Youth sports can be a vehicle to help kids find their purpose
- Elite people want to be challenged
- The pitfalls of early specialization
- Failure is an opportunity
It is a great listen for those long road trips to and from work, club games or practices, and you will find that one episode leads to another book or resource that the guests share which has helped shape their philosophies. Definitely worth a listen.
Nico Loureiro – Player Development Coach, NBA Global Academy
Help the Helper: Building a Culture of Extreme Teamwork (book)
Quotes – Help the Helper
- "Even though worker capacity and motivation are destroyed when leaders choose power over productivity it appears that bosses would rather be in control than have the organization work well"
- "Many companies and teams fall short of their potential due to too much attention paid to the person perched on the mountaintop"
- The wicked leader is he whom the people despise. The good leader is he whom the people revere. The great leader is he of whom the people say "we did it ourselves"
- "Concentration and mental toughness are the margin of the victory (Bill Russell)"
- "Motivation is everything. You can do the work of 2 people, but you can't be two people. Instead, you have to inspire the next guy down the line and get him to inspire his people"
- "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader"
- "The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is thinking having problems is a problem."
Robbie McKinlay – Assistant Coach, NBA Global Academy
I found this article extremely though provoking and covers all areas for coaches and building a culture. It is a short article so should be easy to read. I understand it is a football article, however, relatable for basketball. Very specific and in-depth.
A good podcast:
Coach Van Gundy talks about his assignment with USA Basketball, NBA Refereeing and OKC Thunder.
Rob Coulter – Coach Development Officer, Basketball Victoria
Bear Bryant on Leadership: (book)
Six-time Championship winning coach from the Alabama Crimson Tide Football team – Bear Bryant has his "7 sides of Leadership" and although he coached his last game in 1982, all his teachings still ring true today both in life and in coaching. The book covers his thoughts on:
- Vision
- Communication Skills
- People Skills
- Character
- Competence
- Boldness
- Serving Heart
Tons of great quotes, and I had the highlighter nearby and working overtime when I read it. And it's only about 200 pages long!
Dee Butler – Head Coach, Australian Under 19 Women
AFL Victoria Coach to Coach (podcast)
I checked out a podcast today about AFL Coaching Co-ordinators and their role in helping support young or junior coaches. It has some good discussion about the importance of having a support network and for coaches to share information between each other.
I liked the comments that were made about mentoring and the suggestion that coaches shouldn't just rely on Co-ordinators (or DOC's) to mentor or up-skill them, but other coaches to share their experiences and identify the different capabilities so you can learn from them.
Peter Lonergan – Head of High Performance Coach Development, Basketball Australia
Above the Line – Urban Meyer (book)
Urban Meyer is one of the most successful college football coaches in history and this book provides an insight into his journey of growth and how he has embraced change in his life and the way he coaches young players.
Working closely with respected leadership coach Tim Kight. Meyer has built a perennial power at Ohiop State University and done it very differently to how he approached it vastly different to his time at the University of Florida.
The Woj Pod with Sam Presti (podcast)
Sam Presti is regarded as one of the pre-eminent minds in professional basketball, starting as General Manager of the Seattle Supersonics at age 31 and is currently GM of the Oklahoma City Thunder in the NBA.
Some great insights on this terrific pod on building a career and facing challenges in professional sport.
In part two of this blog, we will explore some more great pods and books that coaches can use to build their knowledge base and continue to improve.

You exploded from the water like a shark with black hair beaching itself and collapsed on top of me. I drowned in the sand and your mouth was salty like the sea... your face burnt a hole in the sky.

The RealHelp iPhone App Can Help Keep Teenagers Safer.
Newport Beach, CA (PRWEB) October 23, 2012
The RealHelp App gives teenagers another way to reach out for help when they need it.
Parents cant guarantee the safety of their teenage children, but with RealHelp they can give them one more option to reach out for help. RealHelp exists for those situations between which a user might call a friend or family member for help, and those where a call to 911 is appropriate. With the swipe of an alert button, RealHelp sends dozens of push notifications to preselected emergency contacts, informing them that the RealHelp user is in trouble. From there, those contacts can see the users location, hear live streaming audio, and see any pictures taken by the alert instigator. It gives all of those people everything they need to help. They can head to the alert location to intervene and extract the RealHelp user, or they can listen and direct emergency services to the location if it sounds appropriate. Just the act of involving so many people may be all that it takes to prevent crimes that wouldnt take place if there were witnesses present. While the RealHelp App is useful for anybody, its especially useful to teenagers in that it makes them more likely to seek help and get a response.
With RealHelp, a teenager can make sure that alerts only go out to people that he or she is comfortable seeking help from. There are three color coded alert levels, red, orange, and yellow, and the user can quickly and easily set which of their contacts gets alerts at which level. Just like a teenager might call a friend for help, RealHelp allows that teenager to reach all of his or her friends for help. If the situation is urgent, that can make all of the difference. In the time that it takes for one persons phone to start ringing, RealHelp can have pushed dozens of push notifications and Facebook wall posts inviting friends to get involved and help out. By the time that a user could have reached voice mail, they could already have a friend messaging them within the RealHelp alert. Whats important though is that the user trusts all of those people on his or her contact list enough to call out for help. While parents can insist on being on that list, they cant insure that their child wont remove them from some alert levels. While parents may prefer to be notified on every level when their child is in trouble, they probably prefer that their child seeks help without hesitation rather than stalling until its too late.
The creators of RealHelp stress the importance of not using RealHelp as a substitute for 911, but want it to be available where teenagers have reasons not to call 911. Everyone wants their children to be able to call 911 and get quick emergency assistance when in trouble. Unfortunately, teenagers are prone to be engaged in various illegal activities. In fact, it seems more likely that a teenager will need to seek help while involved with underage drinking, recreational drugs, or just out after a citys curfew. For all of those situations, a teenager has to weigh the legal consequences of calling the police against the importance of getting fast reliable emergency assistance. Just hesitating may mean waiting for the situation to go from bad to worse. With RealHelp, a teenager can call out for help without worrying about legal consequences. Even where a teenager might eventually called 911, he or she can use RealHelp preemptively. That low barrier to action means that the user can can reach out for help earlier, and even keep the situation from progressing to the point where 911 is appropriate. That RealHelp alert also increases the chances that others who are listening in will call 911 if the situation requires it.
You can learn more about RealHelp App at RealHelpApp.com, and get the fully featured version free for your iPhone at the iTunes App Store. The RealHelp App is entirely supported through user donations, and is ad-free.
About The RealHelp App
The RealHelp App heads off potential emergency situations by instantly notifying dozens of preselected friend and broadcasting audio, location, and pictures to them in real time. RealHelp is available fully featured and free for the iPhone in the iTunes App Store. Its supported through in-app donations by RealHelp users.

9 Days: Bailey's Irish Cream.
Just a quick 'warm and fuzzy' post – it's been cold and rainy here all day so the dogs (and my pictures) had to be cooped up inside today.
When we first went to look at Bailey at his foster parents' house, his name was "Jimmy". I'm sorry, but "Jimmy" just did not fit an adorable blonde puppy. After we officially adopted him, Jimmy had to have a name change. We went through tons of names and finally narrowed it down to 2 – "Brody" or "Bailey". While we were trying to decide between the two, Justin and I went out for ice cream. Voilà! Bailey's Irish Cream ice cream. And that's how Bailey was named "Bailey". Little did we know that we would eventually run into many other "Bailey" dogs (apparently it's one of the top 10 most popular dog names), but it seems to fit him and his personality.
So … how did your dog get his/her name?

Bailey is the perfect name, Mum looooves Baileys too, I can't say anything, cos I've never been allowed it……
I got my name for quite a few reasons that all just fit together – Mum's always loved Snoopy, Cory (age 10 then) had Snoopy toys and suggested the name and Mum's younger brother had a fisher price Snoopy when he was a kid that Mum had just inherited…..on top of all this it suited my look (even though I'm not a Beagle) and personality…..:) I answer to other variations too, like, Snoop Dawg, Snoops, Snoopinator and Snoopidoo – in fact, if you have a Dentastix in your hand I will answer to anything – haha
Hope you've had a fun day,
Snoopy 🙂
My dog Daley and I met many Baileys over the years and he loved them all! I've never met a Bailey who wasn't friendly and fun! … and adorable!

We, too, rescued a dog. "Callie" was previously named Buffy. She is a so-called designer mix dog that was flown in from Michigan to Virginia at 6 weeks of age. We have not had her DNA tested, but there is no way she is the combination on her transport papers. Callie was "tried out" by many prospective families, but was given back each time due to her lack of training and resulting behavioral issues. Thanks to a lot of patience and love (plus $300 to "spring her" because my husband felt sorry for her), Callie celebrated her first birthday with us. She is a permanent and much loved part of our family. Back to the name, our middle daughter would love to live or go to school in California—hence the name 🙂

Experience Hands-on Baking
There is a little difference between baking bread and baking a perfect 100% Whole Wheat Bread. It is all about proper technique, proper guidance, and a few simple steps that create the difference.
Let me tell you that I have been teaching baking over the past 3 years and one thing I have realized after teaching more than 2000 students is that most people have some idea of how to bake but their results differ every other time. I have realized that people have 3 common problems in their bread baking.
First, they try several recipes online but haven't quite found one that gives desired results.
Second, their 100% whole wheat loaves do tend to be dense.
Third, nobody teaches you the secret tips and the reason for failures.
The biggest reason for the failure of your 100% whole wheat bread is not what you think. It's not the ingredient, the oven temperature or how long you baked.
I actually show you how to avoid mistakes that 99% of the bakers make and how you can bake a perfect whole wheat bread in the very first attempt that everybody loves.

VISITORS have only a few days left to see James May's completed Lego house at Denbies Wine Estate before it is dismantled.
The Top Gear presenter was back at the two-storey building on Friday, and was due to stay there over the weekend before the process of taking it down begins.
That is set to take place from Tuesday (September 22) and could take up to a week.
But before then, Lego lovers, Top Gear fans and anyone else wanting to see the unique structure is being urged to visit the vineyward in Dorking for a glimpse.
Denbies spokeswoman Jeanette Simpson said: "It was finished yesterday [Thursday], and if anyone wants to come and see it, this will be the last weekend."
Thousands of people turned up for the first day of building at the beginning of August. It was hoped the house would be finished within two-and-a-half weeks, but the project overran by a month.
A giant bottle of champagne, also made entirely of Lego, was commissioned by Denbies to celebrate the completion of the house.
The project has been filmed for the BBC series James May's Toy Stories.

This column takes a similar approach to "Seinfeld." There's really no point to it other than to entertain. And over the past couple weeks I've encountered the most bizarre people, experienced the highs and lows of life and learned that Ann Coulter is absolutely, frickin' nuts.
During Spring Break, I traveled to the Big Apple to visit my sister. Now, I've toured New York City multiple times and figured I tackled all that the majestic city has to offer. Boy, was I wrong.
Feeding off of Editor in Chief Katie "I may be small, but I pack a large punch" Sheridan's column, my trip challenged and broke the usual NYC stereotype. People think Jay-Z, Carrie Bradshaw and Rudy Giuliani. Well, everyone should have the opportunity to acquaint themselves with these NYC natives.
Boston Bob, Scoop, Mikey K, Pablo, Dangerous Dave, Coach, Eddie and my personal favorite, Ricky Sprinkle.
Boston Bob and Scoop haven't been sober since the Bay of Pigs. Mikey K could win the jackpot and still find himself in debt. He also filed for bankruptcy with no assets. Pablo set his tie on fire in grade school. Dangerous Dave's Irish brogue and Eddie's thick Brooklyn accent have you continually asking the person next to you, "What did he just say?" (They told me to nod, smile and go with the flow). Coach, well, is Coach.
And now, my faithful readers, I present Ricky Sprinkle. Security guard by day, a tempest of laughter and ridiculousness by night, Ricky would be an enigma for any clinical psychologist.
My sister, her boyfriend and I attended a social gathering at Ricky's place one night. During this exclusive event, Ricky and two others unrelentingly and proudly boasted that their driver's licenses had been suspended. I felt like asking, "Everyone who has a valid license raise their hand!" There would have been a minority.
One woman even enlightened us with her stimulating license suspension story. According to her, she was pulled over, asked to step out of the car and put her hands behind her back. When she inquired as to why, the cop simply said something along the lines of, "You have a 10-year warrant for your arrest." Oh, and the best part, she didn't even know.
But back to Mr. Sprinkle, I would like to make a final note about this prized individual. He has gout. Gout! There hasn't been a documented case of gout since the Bubonic Plague. But I digress.
Earlier that day I traveled down to the World Trade Center site to visit the temporary memorial museum and St. Paul's Chapel. Being that I was only in the eighth grade when terrorists attacked our freedom, I never really comprehended the magnitude of what happened.
Despite their rebuilding effort, the austere, vacant lot where the towers once stood sent chills of patriotism up and down my spine. And with people from all around the world traveling thousands of miles to pay their respects, it served as an ardent reminder that at times we may bend, but will never break.
So, the break was over and I began my journey back to C-Town. Safely navigating my way through the Internet, I stumbled upon some commentary by political pundit and ultra-conservative Ann Coulter. Now, if you don't know who Ann Coulter is then restrain your curiosity and don't Google her. Just ask Al Franken.
Coulter's bombastic writing and incredulous claims would make any decent human being convulse. A few days after 9/11, Coulter wrote, "We should invade their [the terrorists] countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."
Well, "The Golden Girls" is on and I hear it's the episode when Sophia steals Rose's car to go on a blind date. So in the paraphrased words of my uncle, "Live, laugh and play reggae in your head."

Internet Marketing Company –
Promote Your Company and Your Products With An Internet Marketing Company
Marketing is the most important way of propagation and adoption of a product among prospective consumers. Different ways of marketing are adopted by various manufacturers and dealers ensuring to catch the notice of the prospective clients for their products. An Internet marketing company provides you with a host of advantages and makes sure that your website can be accessed by millions on an everyday basis. If marketing is done through the traditional style and strategy it certainly involves high costs and often it becomes a very complicated procedure, but marketing through the Internet is easy, hassle free, and more accomplished to provide an efficient platform. It's an era of computers, Internet and technology, where most people access the world wide web almost every day. Hence, hiring an internet marketing company to promote your website has many advantages over the conventional marketing approach.
Many commercial websites have come up with highly attractive characteristics, are featured with tremendously accessible search engines and are also effectively designed to convert visitors into prospective customers. Advertisement should actually have the quality to build confidence amongst your customers and also a sense of safety knowing that they will not be deceived, which can in turn give clients a tremendously satisfying shopping experienc. Everything should be easy to maintain, so that your focus is not on maintaining the website, but on enhancing marketing and selling your product. Acquiring the services of a professional Internet marketing company in order to boost your website is an overall experience that helps you enhance and maximize your profits. With online marketing, Ireland will get to know a lot regarding the product that you are selling.
Now the most important thing that needs your attention is that the message that you convey to your clients through online marketing should be highly adorned with qualitative words. Delivery of high quality message to your clients is absolutely imperative and inevitable. Besides this, you should automate your lead generation and after sales services so that you can efficiently follow up with those who visit your site rather than getting entangled in the manual process which becomes difficult to handle when there are many leads approaching you at the same time. A resourceful and competent Internet marketing company automatically ensures a series of emails that should arrive at the inbox of your clients in order to keep them updated on the most recent products you have to offer. Get to know about Google PPC so that you can further enhance your website.
Social networking sites are certainly a good way to reach the masses and target your customers irrespective of their age or gender. If you are able to profile your target audience you are sure to employ a successful marketing strategy. Although we can count on many social networking sites, many still consider e-mails as the most trustworthy and most relied upon way of communication to the masses. If you manage to get consent to be able to access clients through an e-mail, it will prove to be very effective and powerful marketing strategy and in the long run it will become an asset for any business. Most people filter their mails, so getting permission will help you reach their inbox positively. A successful online Internet marketing company involves conveying the right message to the right clients or people through the right media that ultimately bring a profitable income to you and helps your business grow and prosper. We at webworks.ie understand you and bring perfect marketing solutions for you, so visit us today!

When President Trump announced plans to withdraw the United States from the Paris climate accord, Gov. Dannel Malloy of Connecticut responded that his state would continue its push to reduce its carbon footprint. "Connecticut has been a national leader in combating climate change," he declared. "We have no plans of slowing down our efforts."
Yet Connecticut is a surprising laggard when it comes to one obvious way to cut carbon emissions: Consumers are not allowed to buy electric vehicles without a costly middleman. Connecticut is one of at least six states that bans carmakers — including Tesla, the nation's largest manufacturer of electric vehicles — from opening their own storefronts and selling their cars directly to consumers.
With cities and states moving to the forefront of the climate battle as the federal government steps back, even small regulatory changes, like allowing carmakers to sell electric vehicles directly to the public, could have an outsize impact.
Although Tesla can already sell directly to consumers in neighboring New York and Massachusetts, Connecticut is an especially alluring market. Long known for its clusters of wealth (it was the top-ranked state last year in per capita income), Connecticut has pledged to put around 155,000 "zero-emission" vehicles (including electric cars and hybrids) on the road by 2025. To reach that goal, Connecticut offers rebates of up to $3,000 for anyone who purchases or leases a green car, and hosts about 300 charging stations.
Connecticut and Tesla should be a perfect fit. But lawmakers failed to act on a bill in this year's regular legislative session (for the third straight year) that would have legalized direct sales by Tesla, whose business model is rooted in selling directly to consumers.
The culprit? Heavy lobbying by the state's car dealerships.
Thanks to Connecticut's decades-old franchise laws, new cars can be sold only through licensed franchises independent of carmakers. Even though only about 5,500 zero-emission cars have sold in Connecticut since 2011, Tesla's effort to cut out the middlemen would undermine the lucrative stranglehold that car dealerships have on the new car market.
The Connecticut General Assembly's failure to act follows a rough year of defeats for Tesla. In Texas this spring, the car dealers lobby killed a similar measure in the legislature for the third year in a row. In April, the Utah Supreme Court unanimously upheld the state's Tesla ban, handing a win to the Utah Auto Dealers Association, which filed an amicus brief in the case. And last month, Louisiana's governor signed a new law that entirely bars direct sales by carmakers. Michigan and West Virginia have similar laws.
This flurry of lobbying by car dealerships is a prime example of so-called bottleneckers in action. As used in the title of a new book by the Institute for Justice, where I work, a bottlenecker is "a person who advocates for the creation or perpetuation of government regulation" in order to accrue "an economic advantage without providing a benefit to consumers." Often, bottleneckers urge lawmakers to create new regulatory bottlenecks (as in Louisiana) or to preserve existing ones (as in Connecticut and Texas).
Since manipulating public policy to increase profits is hard to defend publicly, bottleneckers rely on other arguments.
For instance, the Connecticut Automotive Retailers Association, which represents 270 car dealerships and led the charge to kill the Tesla bill, claimed that allowing direct sales would mean "10 percent of employees at dealerships could lose their jobs."
But after reviewing employment figures for car dealerships in Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York, the Acadia Center, a nonprofit focused on creating a clean energy economy, concluded that "there has been no negative impact on auto dealer job levels or trends" in neighboring states that allow direct sales of electric vehicles.
Using a different argument, the National Automobile Dealers Association claimed franchise laws "keep prices competitive and low." However, a 2009 paper by an economist at the Justice Department's Antitrust Division instead concluded that "car customers would benefit from elimination of state bans on auto manufacturers' making direct sales to consumers." The paper pointed to a study by a Goldman Sachs analyst in 2000 that found that direct manufacturer sales could lower costs by 8.6 percent, with most of the savings resulting from more efficient matching between consumer demand and supply, and a subsequent reduction in inventory.
No wonder the Federal Trade Commission has criticized franchise laws as a "special protection" for these dealers — "a protection that is likely harming both competition and consumers."
The battle between Tesla and car dealers is echoed in other industries. The hotel industry has started a "multipronged, national campaign" to counter the short-term rental company Airbnb, which now has a valuation on par with Marriott International. And, facing stiff competition from Uber and Lyft, taxi associations are suing to block their ride-hailing rivals.
The failure to legalize direct sales by Tesla is a testament to how archaic laws stifle entrepreneurship and limit consumer choice. If America wants to combat climate change, it needs to take on bottleneckers and change its climate for innovation.

Retailers continue to take the limelight next week, with supermarket Sainsbury's, fashion chain Next and online player ASOS lining up to report figures.
Fashion chain Next is set to mark a milestone on Thursday when results are expected to show annual profits overtaking those of high street bellwether Marks & Spencer for the first time in its history.
A stellar Christmas sales performance saw Next up its profit forecast for the second time in just over two months, with the group now expecting earnings for the year to January 25 to surge by up to 12.6%.
It notched up a better-than-expected 11.9% jump in sales from November 1 to Christmas Eve, with sales increasing by 7.7% across its stores and 21% in the Next Directory catalogue and online division.
The group left rivals such as M&S in the shade, helped by its long-held policy of not discounting before Christmas.
M&S and a raft of clothing retailers resorted to hefty pre-Christmas discounting, which damaged profit margins.
But Next held firm in the face of competitive conditions and said it went into the January clearance sales with 11.5% less stock to shift after its robust festive sales.
It expects to earn between £684m and £700m in its full year, up from a previous range of between £650 million and £680m.
This puts it on course to make more money than M&S for the first time since it launched in 1982, with M&S predicted to see underlying annual pre-tax profits fall to £628m.
Analysts at Nomura said Next put in "an extraordinary performance in the context of difficult autumn trading for the sector and was driven by areas such as knitwear and sleepwear, which were not as strong for peers".
They put its success down to the launch of free next day delivery for orders placed by 10pm, as well strong growth in homewares and international online sales.
"However, we think that customers are likely buying from Next at full price because they believe the group's products offer them good value," they added.
Sainsbury's is expected to break its three-year record of consistent underlying sales growth when it publishes figures on Tuesday, as it battles against the might of discount chains and comes up against tough comparatives from a year earlier.
Analysts are forecasting a decline of around 3% in like-for-like sales in a sharp reversal of recent fortunes.
The drop would bring to a close its lengthy run of sales growth, having seen underlying sales increase for 36 quarters in a row, and marks a downbeat end to the year's trading for outgoing boss Justin King.
It put in the best performance of the "big four" players, but still came under pressure as it admitted it was likely to miss expectations for a full year like-for-like sales increase of 1% to 1.5%, prompting analysts to shave annual profit forecasts.
The fourth quarter update will make for "grim reading", according to retail analyst Andrew Porteous at Agency Partners.
He is pencilling in a 3% drop, with the chain suffering after failing to follow a tough act from the previous year, when it outperformed many rivals amid the horsemeat scandal and benefited from the timing of Mother's Day trade.
Despite the sales tumble, he said Sainsbury's is still managing to beat its three closest rivals.
Shore Capital Stockbrokers is forecasting a like-for-like fall of between 2.5% and 3%.
The chain is also expected to come under pressure as rivals look to fight back against the rising popularity of discounters Aldi and Lidl.
Its three main rivals have all launched price slashing campaigns in recent months, with Morrisons the most recent to join the fray with a £1bn campaign over three years to stem sliding sales.
Embattled Morrisons boss Dalton Philips said the grocery sector was facing the biggest structural shift "since the 1950s and the advent of supermarkets" as shoppers turned to discounters to make savings.
It came as the Bradfrod-based chain slumped to a £176m annual loss.
Sainsbury's has put in a resilient performance in recent months, with the latest data from Kantar Worldpanel showing it held its share at 17% in the 12 weeks to March 2, while Tesco, Asda and Morrisons all lost ground.

Christmas fine, but in which decade!
Yellow streak Gordon Brown gave the ultimate hostage to fortune this morning by stating categorically that the British economy would be growing again by Christmas.
This masterpiece ranks alongside "no more boom and bust" and "...we not only saved the world..." as among the most memorable of this Moron's most famous utterings. It makes you wonder what figures he and his corrupt cronies are busily massaging to make this miracle happen!
It may have escaped yellow streak Brown's deluded mind that the next quarter's figures will not be published until the third week in January. So, he is going to do what comes naturally, lie about it again.
This country has been living on borrowed time for too long now. The "prosperity" of the last decade was an illusion funded on the back of excessive bank lending and a property bubble which allowed people to withdraw the "equity" in their homes to fund a lifestyle they could not afford. With no real industry left, yes, I know we have some, but a lot of it is specialised and small scale, dwindling reserves of oil and gas, rising unemployment and a national debt most of which is off the books, PFIs and public sector pension commitments that is out of control, I see no way of returning to our glorious past.
Instead I see the rise of the East and the BRIC economies and the slow grind down of western living standards.
Anyone with any sense will leave this sinking ship, or at the very least, start taking Mandarin language lessons.

True also that the UK is due to be made redundant with the introduction of the Lisbon Treaty. And yes control of our future is now in the hands of foreigners and predatory transnational corporations. And okay - we have lost control of our borders and our cities are being swamped by Islamic hordes whose hearts desire is to behead us all.ReplyDelete
I think I'll go lie down now ...
Scunnert, all I can do is agree with your comment but I won't lie down. I will continue with my fight against this bloody corrupt government and its lying leader.ReplyDelete


text: Prosecco Mirò ( Il Milione) at Venice Consort News September 14, 2017 Events, Featured News, Luxury Prosecco Il Milione (Mirò's Prosecco) – Sponsoring events at Venice Film Festival 2017 Passion for art, style and natural taste, wine and finesse. That is how we can describe last Venice Film Festival. It was a magnificent event, which will be remembered with tenderness for a long time. One of the sponsors, who created this frame of mind, was the wine company "Mirò's Prosecco". The wonderful world of flavours and shades can be transmitted through the actors' play. Such as like the grapes in skilled hands are transformed into delicious wine. Pure magic. Sometimes the style and the taste is transmitted equally well as in wine and as in the cinema. That's why this cultural connection between the world of cinema art and a wine are so important for "Mirò's Prosecco". The passion for wine, the patience of the expectation, the respect and appreciation of what the magical territory of the hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene makes available and the humility to always take a step back to learn from the experience of others the salient features of this company. Mirò's point of view is the minimalist approach to grapes handling, accurate product control – from vineyard to bottle – through careful selection of winegrowers and grapes to winemaking, with reasoned interweaving of ancient methods and modern technologies to provide consumers with clarity at every stage of processing, while respecting natural processes and tradition. Still firmly attached to these beliefs, today Mirò proposes three product lines: the Milione, Brighella and the traditional Prosecco Treviso "Col Fund". A fourth Prosecco DOC "Gold Doge" line is dedicated to the overseas market. Each Mirò product is characterized by a minimum amount of sulfur dioxide.

"Experience has shown me that a good performance can alter the life of a person and change something within them."
Jacques Matthiessen, Artistic Director Denmark's Passepartout Theatre Productions
A Danish take on Shakespeare using Puppetry at SO Festival 2019
SO Festival is an annual cultural arts festival held on the East Coast of Lincolnshire in England. The event's Danish Artistic Director, Jens Frimann Hansen brings a Nordic and continental direction to the festival that provides a display of outdoor art and entertainment for both community engagement and thought. The British Council spoke to the Artistic Director of Denmark's Passepartout Theatre Productions (PTP) Jacques Matthiessen, which will perform Shakespeare plays using puppets at this year's festival.
Can you tell us about the company?
PTP was created in 2007 as a producing theatre with an interest in international, cross cultural theatre performances aimed at children and youth. The first production was a co-production with a theatre in Mali, and the second was with a theatre in Nepal. Both performances were informed by old fairy tales which carried strong moral messages. Each had very few actors and were therefore easy to travel with and be enjoyed by the whole family. One might say that these ingredients make up the DNA of the PTP, which has created more work and collaborated with other companies ever since. We've worked with partners in Lebanon, China, Croatia, Sweden, Norway, Turkey, Uruguay, Uganda, Burkina Faso, Tanzania, Nepal and Lithuania.
What's your mission as the Artistic Director?
The short answer is to tell strong and humanistic stories that have the ability to move audiences and make them think differently about their own lives and the ways of the world. Experience has shown me that a good performance can alter the life of a person and change something within them. These are alterations that one cannot learn at school.
Why choose Shakespeare's plays to perform for the public?
Firstly, because they a very good stories: they contain universal themes and so everybody can understand them no matter where they are from. But they are equally simple and very deep. One might describe a play by Shakespeare like a rose: one may look at it from afar and know what it is, but closer inspection reveals that there are important complexities, nuances and contrasts. This is no different to human life.
Do you work with professional puppeteers?
I tend to work with professionals trained in the world of theatre. When it comes to puppeteers, I mostly work with actors which have an understanding of action and reaction, but also the importance of space, energy and rhythm. In Denmark we don't have a specialist education for budding puppeteers, so one has to go abroad to get it. But then again, I have found that trained puppeteers have the tendency to just look or concentrate on the puppet technique at the expense of the story.
What are you performing at SO Festival this year?
We are performing King Lear as a thirty-five minutes nonverbal family puppet performance. The two puppeteers, or actors, are bakers baking a big cake for King Lear. He decides to divide the cake in three parts, for his daughters. But first his daughters must express how much they love him. I think everybody can understand this situation and can see how unwise a father he is and why it all turns out so badly. The performance was originally created as an outdoor performance for the king's garden at Hamlet's castle in Helsingor, which will be perfect for the SO Festival. It was produced by HamletScenen in 2014 and played there for two years.
How exactly do you manage to tell stories without words?
By combining the possibilities that the puppets provide, with the theatre technique of mime – stage fight and traditional acting. That means that it is the action, or a reaction, which tells an audience what the puppet wants, and it is through quality of movement that one may express feeling. It is very important to remember that a puppet cannot think or have feelings. Rather, it must be expressed in a movement, action or a physical response. It is also important to note that a puppet can die on stage!
Do you think that an audience in the UK will have a different reaction to an audience in Denmark?
I don't think that the children's reaction to Shakespeare's plays will differ, but those of the adults might. This would likely be due to British audiences having a closer and more critical view of Shakespeare's stories. Of course, sometimes it is up to an outsider to introduce new ways of seeing to an audience who are slightly set in their ways when it comes to understanding a certain tale.
Why do you think street theatre and entertainment is important?
I think that art in all forms are important for a society: for the way that we as humans live our lives, how we reflect on it and the big and small questions that we encounter.

Dentist moves from 99th & Holmes to Red Bridge
By Jill Draper
Brian Davis had been thinking about moving his dental practice for several years, and when he found the right opportunity, he took it. On Jan. 7 Davis Family Dental reopened in Suite 211 at the Red Bridge Professional Building, 400 E. Red Bridge Rd., after closing doors at two offices—one at Gomer's Corner Shopping Center and another in Shawnee.
Davis says things felt stagnant at the Gomer's location where he was being pressured to sign a multi-year lease. Instead, he has taken the suite of Turner Lee Peck, who retired after practicing dentistry for more than 45 years.
Davis, 47, runs his practice with his wife, Adriana, who serves as business manager. He describes himself as down to earth, and says he earned a doctorate in dental surgery from UMKC by working at a UPS warehouse for 7 years and at Johnson County's WaterOne utility for 5 years. His wife has a master of business administration degree and speaks fluent Spanish.
They're still decorating the new office, but the walls eventually will hold a display of photography, his weekend hobby. He specializes in taking pictures of storms and concerts. One favorite image is a backlit cloud that towers some 60,000 feet high—at least that's what TV weatherman Gary Lezak, a friend, estimates. Other favorites are stage shots of musicians at venues like the Bonner Springs amphitheater and Harrah's VooDoo Lounge. He recently shot an album cover for a Lawrence reggae group called Streetlevel Uprising.
Davis shoots band and concert photography. "About every local band in Kansas City and Lawrence, Kansas, I know personally," he says. Photos by Brian Davis.
"Photography is a perfectionist thing," he says. "It goes with dentistry. You have to be detail-oriented in both to get it right."
Davis receives photography tips and lessons from an administrator at the City Union Mission, and he occasionally opens his practice on a Saturday to perform volunteer dentistry work on the shelter's homeless children. One year he bought shoes for them, and another year, Kansas City Chiefs jackets.
Davis Family Dentistry plans to hold a grand opening in March with an open house, snacks and raffle prizes, but new patients are being accepted now, including Medicaid recipients ages 18 and younger. For information call 816-943-0003.
Posted in the January 22 issue.

But a little housekeeping first. Friends, May was a tough month. If I could only monetize the frequent flyer miles and hotel award points, I'd be blogging from my own private island in the Pacific.
With all of the activity last month, I'm taking a much needed week off next week and will be completely unplugged... Assuming I can actually handle being disconnected for any period of time. Let's see if I can do it.
On to more important topics...
I'm thrilled to introduce to you the latest additions to our EMC Blogging Corps. You can find the whole lot of us over at the Community Section on EMC.com.
Specifically, let me introduce you to Kathrin Winkler, Sr. Director, Corporate Sustainability at EMC. Her blog, Interconnected World, shares her experiences putting sustainability front and center at EMC.
Natalie Corridan-Gregg falls in the 'nicest people in the world' camp. She's a lead contributor to the Working Mother Experience Blog / Book and also manages her own blog, Natalie's Corner, discussing how she balances the demand of wife, mother and employee. She also has one heck of a cute kid...
Lastly, I'm so happy to introduce you to the nice folks over at Conchango, EMC's UK-based consulting practice. I've been on a few calls with the folks from this team, and they're thinking way ahead of the curve. It's a team blog and is simply chock full of rich and interesting content.
You'll want to bookmark all of these... There's a wealth of good information and conversation.
Enjoy our new blogging friends and we'll see you in a week... Or sooner ;)
