POSTER PRESENTATION GUIDELINES


Posters can be a powerful method of communicating information. For one thing, people can study

posters at their own pace. It is also an opportunity for delegates to discuss information with the

poster presenter more extensively than they can during oral sessions. To assist you with your

presentation and make your experience of a poster presentation as effective as possible, please

read the following information:

PREPARATION OF POSTERS

SIZE

Posters should be no larger than 1m x 1m. Posters larger than these dimensions will exceed the

board; it is therefore necessary, that the poster adheres to the specified measurements.

VIEWING

Posters must be readable from 1.5 meters. To help you design a readable poster, here are some

suggested sizes of print:

Use UPPER and lower case for general content as the use of all-capital text is difficult to read.

Avoid using mixtures of type/font styles.

Tendulkar positive about World Cup

Cricket's grandest event might very well mark the swansong of the game's primary achiever Sachin Tendulkar and so he is looking forward to the event with bated breath. Waxing eloquent on the World Cup 2011, the Little Master predicts that it will be a "fabulous experience" and that the cricket-crazy Indian public will have a real spectacle to watch out for from Feb 19.
oneindiain121:http://thatscricket.oneindia.in/news/2010/12/24/tendulkar-positive-about-world-cup. "Back home in India, people are waiting to welcome all the cricket playing nations and it is going to be an experience of a lifetime because knowing how people follow cricket in India, it is going to be a fabulous experience," said the little master, who is busy preparing himself for the second Test against South Africa in Durban.The batting genius said that the event carries a similar magnitude of importance and excitement for the players who will be privileged to respresent their respective sides. Tendulkar, who shall be appearing in his 6th World Cup, says that the event holds a special place in his heart and that he hopes to be on top of his game for the upcoming edition. "It is something that all the players would cherish for the rest of their lives," said the 37-year-old genius. "It is too early to speak about the performance (of players) as it is all about what kind of form you are in during that tournament and how you peak at the right time, that's important," said the batsman.Tendulkar has certainly peaked in most of the World Cups he has played, holding the record for the most runs in the tournament - a total of 1,796 runs from 36 games at an average of nearly 50. On two occasions - in 1996 and 2003 World Cups, he made the most runs by an individual batsman in the tournament. Now, no batsman can top that.

Celtics, Magic rematch with a Christmas Day twist

ORLANDO, Fla. – Celtics coach Doc Rivers remembers when Boston overhauled its roster three years ago. Sure, the talent was there with the Big Three. So were the questions.
"When we made our move everybody told us you had to wait a year to put a championship team together," Rivers said before the Celtics practiced Friday in Orlando. "I didn't buy into that. Neither did our guys, and we proved everybody wrong."
Now imagine a major midseason shake-up.
The Celtics will face a reconstructed Magic team Saturday trying to duplicate the quick turnaround — only doing so in December — that propelled Boston to instant champions, giving this Eastern Conference finals rematch a Christmas Day remix.

No Dravid, Pathan in India's preliminary World Cup squad

Veteran batsman Rahul Dravid and off-colour pacer Irfan Pathan failed to find a place in India's 30-strong list of probables announced on Saturday for next year's ODI cricket World Cup in the sub-continent.

In a squad which didn't offer any major surprises, youngsters Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane were included along with established stars such as Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag. The squad would be pruned to half by next month and chairman of selectors Kris Srikkanth said whatever be the final combination, it would do well at the quadrennial mega-event starting February 19 and to be played in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

"As you know there are no big surprises. This is a probables team and everyone selects himself. There is one more month to go to select the final team and we will sit down and think calmly before finalising the team," Srikkanth told reporters after a meeting of the selection panel. "I am confident that the team will do well in the World Cup. They have been doing well in one-day cricket.

The World Cup is happening in the sub-continent and I am confident that the team will do well," he added.

Apart from the omission of the 37-year-old Dravid, who has not played an ODI since September last year, and Pathan, on the sidelines since February 2009 in ODIs, there aren't any surprise selections. The batting list expectedly features Tendulkar, Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina. The 22-year-old Pujara along with Virat Kohli are among the youngsters picked at least in the preliminary squad. The bowling line-up is also on the expected lines with the pace attack led by Zaheer Khan featuring Ashish Nehra, S Sreesanth, Munaf Patel and Ishant Sharma. The spin department has the experienced Harbhajan Singh along with Amit Mishra, Piyush Chawla, Pragyan Ojha and R Ashwin. Apart from Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the probables list has three other wicketkeepers in Parthiv Patel, Wriddhiman Saha and Dinesh Karthik.

List of probables for World Cup: Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra, S Sreesanth, Munaf Patel, Ishant Sharma, Vinay Kumar, M Vijay, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Ajinkya Rahane, Saurabh Tiwary, Yusuf Pathan, Parthiv Patel, R Ashwin, Wriddhimaan Saha, Dinesh Karthik, Shikhar Dhawan, Amit Mishra, Piyush Chawla, Cheteshwar Pujara, Pragyan Ojha, Praveen Kumar.

INAUGURAL FUNCTION OF THE 11TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON PUBLIC COMMUNICATION OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 2010

Ganguly, Dravid shown the door, Kohli stays on

Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly, Yuvraj Singh and Gautam Gambhir are among the big names released by their IPL franchises, along with Brendon McCullum, Chris Gayle and Andrew Symonds, while Virat Kohli is the surprise retention for his team for the next three seasons. Wednesday was the deadline for the franchises to name the players they would retain from their current squads and while there is no common thread running through the choices of players retained and released, the key factors seem to be form, brand appeal and age.

Kolkata Knight Riders, Deccan Chargers and Kings XI Punjab have decided not to retain any of their players, while all the other IPL franchises have held back at least one current player. Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians, the 2010 finalists, have retained the maximum of four players each, in the process parting with half of the $9 million salary cap available to teams.
According to the auction rules for IPL 4, teams can retain up to four players, only three of whom can be Indians. The retained players - who must have been part of the franchise's registered squads for the 2010 season - will be valued at $1.8 million for the first player, $1.3 million for the second, $900,000 for the third and $500,000 for the fourth.

Mumbai, as expected, held on to Sachin Tendulkar, the highest run-scorer of the 2010 season, offspinner Harbhajan Singh, West Indies allrounder Kieron Pollard and Sri Lanka seamer Lasith Malinga. Chennai took the Indian trio of MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina and M Vijay out of the auction, in addition to South African allrounder Albie Morkel, their regular opening bowler. Delhi Daredevils retained only Virender Sehwag, meaning Gambhir - their captain for the last two seasons - is in the auction pool.

The most interesting choice came from Royal Challengers Bangalore whose sole retention is Virat Kohli, currently on an impressive run in ODIs. There is no place for Dravid, their icon player, nor for Anil Kumble, their captain and the head of the state association. Kolkata's decision to drop Sourav Ganguly, the biggest cricketing name to emerge from the city and the face of the franchise's on-field persona, is a bold step.
Punjab's decision to release all their players was expected following their dismal 2010 season, which means Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene and Yuvraj Singh will go under the hammer.

Siddhartha Mallya, owner of the Bangalore franchise, said the decision to retain just one player was backed by financial logic. "You must realise that with retention, a big chunk of your budget gets taken away," Mallya told ESPNcricinfo. " Mumbai and Chennai have kept four players, which means that half their budget is gone. It finally comes down to how much money one was going to lose. We have a big balance sheet but we have lost $1.8 million for keeping one player. We still have about $7-odd million left but if we had retained four then we would have had to buy virtually an entire squad with the remaining half."
Age is not a universal disqualification. It didn't count in Tendulkar's case, nor in that of Shane Warne, Rajasthan's coach and captain, who was retained by Rajasthan Royals, along with Shane Watson, a day ahead of the deadline. One franchise official explained the difference: "Warne is a global brand so that only helps to promote the franchise."

If Rajasthan opted for Warne because they have always viewed the IPL as a global brand, Mumbai went with Tendulkar and Harbhajan for their popularity. Pollard and Malinga may have made the cut on account of being impact players, who have backed up their strong Twenty20 credentials with consistent performance.
Sehwag's match-winning abilities, coupled with his rapid emergence as a brand, clearly had a say in Delhi's decision to retain him. MS Dhoni and Suresh Raina must have been shoo-ins for Chennai following their compelling IPL and international form. Vijay's performances, coupled with his potential to attract a strong local fan-base, must have tilted the scales in his favour, while Morkel's proven all-round skills were always going to be an asset. If there is a stranger in this crowd, it could be Kohli. Despite his owners trumpeting his recent performances, Kohli is still work in progress. But he is young, ambitious and has the youth appeal - all qualities of the UB Group's target audience.
