Leader #1
Here's to the Red of it,
There's not a thread of it,
No, nor a shred of it, In all the spread of
From foot to head. But heroes bled
for it, Faced steel and lead for it, Precious blood shed for it, Bathing it
Leader #2
Here's to the white of it; Thrilled by the sight of it, Who knows the right of
it, But feels the might of it
Through day and night Womanhood's
care for it; Make manhood dare for it; Purity's prayer for it, Keeps it so
Leader #3:
Here's to the Blue of it; Beauteous view of it;
Heavenly hue of it, Star-spangled
dew of it,
Constant and true. Diadems gleam
for it, States stand supreme for it, Liberty's beam for it, Brightens the
Leader #4:
Here's to the whole of it, Stars stripes and pole of it. Body and soul of it,
And to the roll of it, sun shining through. Hearts in accord for it, Swear by
the sword for it,
Thanking the Lord for it, Red, White
and Blue.

Props: Cards
with words printed on them for each Cub Scout, and an upright stand such as a
ladder for each sign to be attached at the appropriate time.
We think of Cub Scouting as
a ladder of good citizenship. Let us show you what we mean.
Friendship. We make lots of friends
in our school, church, neighborhood, den and pack.
Teamwork. We learn how important it
is to work with others as a member of a team.
Dependability. We learn to be places
when we promise and to do our part.
Leadership. We learn to lead games
and help with other den and pack activities.
Honesty. We learn to tell the truth,
to handle money, and to understand what honesty means.
Loyalty. We learn to be true to our
friends, our parents, and our den and pack, and to honor our country and its
Good Will. We like to help our
school, church, neighbors and those less fortunate than we. Good will projects
make us feel good.
Good Citizenship.
Through Cub Scouting experiences, boys learn things that help make them
better citizens as they grow into manhood.

Den Chief. Two hundred years ago, God gave us a nation; a
land of wealth and bounty, choice among His creations. We must protect its
freedom and defend its worthy cause, and support our Constitution, which is
based upon God's laws. We must pledge to be loyal throughout each coming year,
and with God's help, we will know no doubt nor fear. When we keep our promise

Please stand and join us in singing, "God Bless America." (After audience is
seated, Cub Scouts continue.)
Cub 1. We're glad you came to our banquet! We have
many things to say about our love for America as we celebrate today.
Cub 2. Independence is a big word, and hard for me
to say. But I know it means a lot to all Americans today.
Cub 3. Our national bird is the eagle. Have you
ever wondered why? It may be because it soars above all birds to reach the
Cub 4. The Liberty Bell is ringing, though its
sound we do not hear. Freedom of speech and worship, freedom from want and
Cub 5. Without our flag of red, white and blue,
things would be different for me and you. It's a symbol of pride in the
American way, so we should be loyal and true each day.
Cub 6. Please stand and join us in the Pledge of
Allegiance to our flag.

Is there really no snow in the alps?
The headlines could not be more sensational today in the Daily Mail, Telegraph and Times, putting the fear of a ruined holiday into the minds of those booked for January, or even those considering booking this year's trip.
Well, what a load of tosh!
Firstly, I starting skiing this season on the 17th December and I have just skied 18 miles today over a 4 hour period. Most skiers do this in a day so it shows how much terrain can be covered. To be precise Chatel Pre-La-Joux, Les Crosets, over the 'wall', down to and around Avoriaz, Lindarets and back down to the car park!
Secondly, these headlines take no account of the snow that fell over the weekend or the metre of new snow that is coming tomorrow, Wednesday, Thurdsay, Friday, Saturday and Sunday plus through into next week!
Below are my photos from today. You can see the quality of the snow on piste and my video, although shakey, shows the quality real time! drop us a line for January skiing – just £499pp per week in January. email@example.com

When Not To Begin Potty Training
by Danna Henderson
Potty training can be a stressful experience for you and your child. It's best to start potty training when your child has an established daily routine and is not dealing with any additional stress. Potty training should be the only major change in your child's life.
If your child is showing signs of potty training readiness, ask yourself if any of the following situations exist:
New baby – Although the thought of double diaper duty may be overwhelming, your child needs time to adapt to the new baby before you begin potty training.
Divorce or Separation – Divorce or separation is always stressful for children. Your child may be living in two different homes or under two separate sets of rules. When things calm down, share your potty training plan so that you are both aware of the other person's plan and can work together for the benefit of your child.
New daycare/babysitter – If your child has recently switched day cares or baby-sitters, wait a couple of weeks/months (depending on how your child adapts) before you start potty training.
New bedroom or bed – Small changes, like a new bedroom or bed, can have a big impact on your child. Wait until your child has adapted to his new bed before you begin potty training.

Shelved: Children's fiction (contemporary)
Challenge: Classics Challenge – #4
Buy: Hive
More: Goodreads
Are You There God? It's Me Margaret is one of those books that fits into the 'teenage fiction' category – not quite 9-12, not quite young adult. Judy Blume is one of the authors who started writing about young teenagers, way before 'young adult' even existed. I cannot possibly write a 'book review' of Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret because it's one of those books that (at least, it felt like) everybody except me had read – it's a classic! But here's my thoughts on reading it as a 25-year-old girl who never got the opportunity to read it as an actual pre-teen. Yes, I'd never read a younger Judy Blume, I'm sorry! I only read Summer Sisters, her adult novel, last year. Published in 1970, Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret seems to be Judy Blume's most famous novel and as she visited the UK a couple of months ago (I'll write the blogpost soon, I promise!), it seemed only right to pick this one up first.
Margaret Simon likes long hair, tuna fish, the smell of rain and things that are pink. At 11-years-old, she's just moved from busy NYC to the quiet suburbs – Farbrook, New Jersey – where she's faced with a whole bunch of awkward new firsts. I was surprised to see how relevant and current Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret still is, but yet it's unsurprising because growing up is difficult, whether it's 1970 or 2000, when I turned eleven.
I can see how Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret would feel pretty life-changing to young girl growing up, unable to talk about the challenges of puberty and worries of getting your first period. (It's odd to think how controversial this was in the 1980s, when it became a 'banned book'). It's incredible to discover a book where the main character is going through something you're going through, something that you couldn't talk to other people about. I only had teen magazines! It reminded me of all the things I used to worry about as a 11 to 14-year-old and how the worrying doesn't stop, but the things you're worrying about just change. I enjoyed the realistic banter between Margaret and her new best friend (and neighbour) Nancy, and the challenges of dealing with Nancy's older brother Moose and his friend Evan (especially when you mix school gossip into the equation), plus seeing her deal with between torn between her parents and her Grandma.
I assumed Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret would be a religious novel, likely one of the reasons why I hadn't picked it up until now, because of the title and the fact that it's American (and the US edition emphasises that aspect of the storyline a little bit more), but how wrong I was! Margaret's parents are technically Catholic on one side and Jewish on the other, but neither actually follow a religion. Margaret is unsure what she believes in, so tries out both before she makes a choice (which she doesn't find easy), meanwhile talking to her own private God, instead of 'Dear Diary', about the trials and tribulations of being a young, new and uncertain.
Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret is timeless in its ability to show young girls that they are not alone. I love the new US editions of her books (check out the tagline: 'Growing up is tough. Period') – bringing them to fans of YA contemporary fiction (and contemporary romance), who may never have picked up Judy Blume before. I already have Forever, which will be my next Judy Blume!

Wakeup call: The volunteers are aging
The current county volunteer fire and rescue system may be in peril. There is serious concern among local authorities that the increasingly rigorous training demands from the state, coupled with an aging fire and rescue volunteer population, are challenging the viability of the system — and that means we could have to pay first responders, just like everyone else in the region.
Four fire and rescue company representatives and Emergency Services Coordinator Richie Burke crowded into a small board room on the second floor of the Visitors Center Friday afternoon, invited by Deputy County Administrator Debbie Keyser to discuss an uncertain future for the volunteer fire and rescue system.
The bottom line: The volunteers are aging, and the younger generations are not stepping in to do the heavy lifting. This year, an 82-year-old man ran over 400 emergency response calls, that's about 75 percent of the calls for his company.
Panther wrestlers slash competition
The varsity wrestling team dominated the Rappahannock River 1A Conference Championship this weekend. The guys traveled to Lancaster County Saturday (Feb. 6) and competed for the team prize, and to qualify for the regional tournament in Northampton next weekend. Of the 14 weight classes that comprise a varsity team, the Panthers sent 13 wrestlers to the finals, producing seven champions and six runner-ups. Team scores: Northumberland, 80; Essex, 84; Lancaster, 139; and Rappahannock, 204.5.
The entire team qualified for the Region 1A East Championship to be held this Saturday, Feb. 13, at Northampton High School. To advance to the state championship in Salem, Feb. 19 and 20, wrestlers must finish in the top four in their weight class.
35 homes at Avon Hall? Too much
Don't shoot the messenger, Town Attorney John Bennett sighed after 45 minutes of discussion of a potential use of the 12-acre Avon Hall property, which just went on the market at last month's Town Council meeting.
The Council considered Monday night (Feb. 8) the construction of 35 houses on the property, an idea introduced by Bennett, on behalf of an anonymous interested developer.
Budget hearing next Thursday, school calendar set
The School Board is hosting a public hearing on the budget next Thursday (Feb. 18) in the high school auditorium. Schools Superintendent Donna Matthews said that the hearing is a way for the Board to hear about what the needs are in both the county and the schools, and she noted that it is not a question and answer session. Since the governor has not yet announced how much funding the state will provide to local schools, residents in attendance should not expect a concrete budget from Matthews.
The Rapp: Honors (and diamonds) for Rappahannock inns
Once again, two Rappahannock inns were picked for AAA's elite Diamond lists. Each year AAA reviews nearly 28,000 hotels including resorts, historic inns, B&Bs and more. Just 0.4 percent make the AAA Five Diamond list, which again includes The Inn at Little Washington. The Inn has been on the list since 1989, and it's the only hotel in Virginia among this year's Five Diamond winners. And The Inn is also a Five Diamond restaurant.
979 acres in county added to conservation easements
Rappahannock landowners placed nearly a thousand acres of land into conservation easements in 2015, according to a Piedmont Environmental Council report released last week. The addition of 979 acres last year brings the total county acreage in easements to 32,345.
The PEC reports that a combined total of 11,517 acres were protected in Albemarle, Clarke, Culpeper, Fauquier, Greene, Loudoun, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock Counties, last year.
Of stones and words: An interview with Flint Hill's John Henry
Rappahannock County is blessed with an abundance of interesting individuals doing interesting things, often not widely known. In the interest of community-sharing and in the first of an occasional series, Rappahannock News' Walter Nicklin does a Q&A with Flint Hill's John Henry.

Trinity Stitch is one common name for a stitch that is also sometimes called a Cluster Stitch or Bramble Stitch. You might also see it called Raspberry Stitch or Blackberry Stitch.
Whatever you call it, It is formed by working multiple stitches into one stitch, then decreasing the same number of stitches.
The look is puffy and full of texture. It's almost like a bobble, though a bobble is typically made differently and usually stands out from the knit fabric a little more prominently than Trinity Stitch does.
The stitch pattern is pretty dense and uses a lot of yarn.
How to Knit Trinity Stitch
Trinity Stitch is worked on a multiple of 4 stitches. The pattern rows are the wrong side of the project, and they stick out onto the right side, which is worked in purl.
- Row 1 (right side): Purl.
- Row 2: *(K1, p1, k1) all in the same stitch, purl 3 together. Repeat from * across.
- Row 3: Purl.
- Row 4: *P3tog (k1, p1, k1) all in the same stitch. Repeat from * across.
Repeat these four rows for pattern.
Watch Now: How to Purl Stitch
Projects Using Trinity Stitch
We have used Trinity Stitch on a prayer shawl for a baby (it's also a great doll baby blanket, which is how my daughter uses it) and a simple Trinity Stitch Headband. It's a great stitch pattern for fun summery accessories and works great in stripes or color blocking.
If you'd like to explore this stitch more, there are a lot of great patterns available.
Breadnbadger has a great slouchy beret that uses the stitch, worked in the round inside out, so there is more knitting than purling. Another fun hat—inspired by one Hermione wore in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part One"—is available from Lindy's Knits and Laces.
Inspired by that first hat, heatherwil worked up a matching pair of mitts, also worked inside out in the round. The Casting On Couch also has video instructions for Trinity Stitch mitts and a scarf (scroll down the page to find them).
Red Heart has a great pattern for mitts, and a matching cowl worked with Trinity Stitch and cables, which look lovely together.
Rag Lana has a pattern for a scarf that uses a variation of the stitch involving a yarn over in the middle of the triple stitch instead of the purl (so you work k1, yo, k1 in one stitch, which is a little easier and doesn't make a difference in the look of the finished stitch). Check that out if you find the traditional form of this stitch too tricky.
Joanna Nassiokas has a lovely, simple, Trinity Stitch neckwarmer (small cowl) that would be great for quick gift knitting.
If you're looking for something a little different, try the Trinity Stitch Shawl from Esther Smith Bozak. This is a triangular shawl worked from the bottom up, starting with just one stitch. This one is worked more like a lace project, with sport weight yarn on larger than expected needles, which makes the brambles stand out differently from the other projects listed here.
Remember you can also search for the name variations when looking for patterns. For example, looking for Raspberry Stitch, you will find a cute pair of fingerless mitts with a little contrast on the thumb (from ShortRounds) and a simple cowl form Undeniable Glitter.

The truth is, birth injuries and birth defects are very different from one another – so how do you differentiate between the two? Depending on the specific injuries that a child has sustained, it may be difficult to tell if the child was injured by the negligence of a care provider or by an unpreventable birth defect. Birth injuries, for one, occur when a complicated occurs during the birth process. The numbers may surprise you: For every 1,000 babies that have been born each year in the United States, five will be injured during birth. In some cases, this is due to an obstetrician's use of an improper medical technique or improper use of a medical device. However, you must realize that birth injuries are not always due to negligence because accidents will happen and not every birth will come without complications.
Birth defects are a bit different. These are defects that caused harm to the baby before they were even born, due to something that happened during the mother's pregnancy. However, just because a birth defect occurred, does not mean the mother or her body were always to blame. Sometimes these defects occur because a mother was prescribed a medicine that affected the baby. It is estimated that nearly 7% of all babies are born with some type of defect, even if it is minor. Sometimes it is hard to prove whether or not a birth defect was the result of a mother's actions during pregnancy, her environment, or a doctor.
Common Birth Injuries
Let's focus on injuries that take place during the delivery process, when a doctor may be to blame for negligence. Here are the most common injuries that affect newborns in the hospital every year:
Caput Succedaneum: This is when a newborn's scalp swells, which is sometimes caused by pressure on the baby's head when they are being delivered head-first. Sometimes it can also occur when a doctor is using a vacuum extraction procedure.
Cephalohematoma: This can also happen as the result of a vacuum extraction, and occurs when blood collects between the skin and the cranial bone.
Erb's Palsy: This is a nerve-related injury that occurs when the baby's neck or shoulder is stretched too far during delivery. The newborn may experience weakness, numbness, and loss of motion from this injury. Erb's Palsy can be very serious, but the good news is that many babies will recover feeling after some time. However, surgery may be necessary in many cases to fix this.
Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy: When the baby's brain does not receive an adequate flow of oxygen, this condition can occur. This can result in the death of brain cells, brain damage, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, or even death.
Fractures: Babies can sustain fractures through the birth process, primarily of the clavicle or collarbone. They most often occur when the doctor has a reasonable opportunity to utilize a C-section but does not.
Subconjunctival Hemorrhage: In this injury, the small blood vessels of the baby's eye can rupture. In many cases, there is no permanent damage but is still handled very seriously.
On the most severe level, some birth injuries can result in fetal death. What if the treating physician failed to provide the level of care that a reasonably skilled doctor would have engaged in under the same circumstances? A wrongful death action may be brought against a doctor if this is the case. However, this will depend on upon many unique circumstances involved in your particular case.
Establishing the Standard of Care
How do you know how the "standard of care" applies to your case? To prove that medical malpractice actually took place, you must be able to show this in your claim. The question that you must ask yourself is this: "Would a similarly-skilled health care professional have provided me with the same treatment under the same, or similar, circumstances?" If the answer is "no," then you probably have a case. To prove this, however, you will probably need an expert to testify. The expert must be trained in the same field as the one who injured your newborn and will need to establish the standard of care that was acceptable in that situation. By doing this, they will ultimately prove exactly how the treatment provided to you fell below the reasonable standard. (3)
Damages in a Birth Injury Case
There is always the question of how much you will receive from a birth injury compensation claim. Unfortunately, there is usually no definite answer because pinpointing an exact figure is next to impossible. Many damages will pay for things like medications, doctor's visits, physical therapy, home accommodations, counseling, special education costs, and pain and suffering. In many of these cases, the parents of the injured infant will file for damages on their behalf. Medical expenses can be quite costly and compensation can go toward taking care of the infant in these mentioned aspects. Just remember: There is a statute of limitations for these cases, so act as quickly as possible to have your case resolved.

Kim Dotcom
A huge story in New Zealand right now is the arrest of Kim Dotcom, a wealthy investor who is being held on charges of reproducing and distributing infringing copies of copyright works – including movies, television programmes, music, software and books.
It's a big story which has many facets, but in terms of immigration there are a couple of points of interest to me:
1) Dotcom was allowed into the country despite serious previous criminal convictions
I don't have an issue with taking a decision on previous convictions, especially as full details were given to the immigration officials making the decision and the German system had wiped them anyway.
However in this case the immigration department has created a situation where they have drawn accusations of allowing Dotcom to buy his way past the good character test. Initially he was declined but somehow passed the good character test after paying $10 million to the NZ government. This looks even more shabby when another government department had decided to block Dotcom from buying land because in their opinion he failed the good character test.
We won't even get into the revelations that Kim has diabetes, a slipped disc and hypertension but apparently had no problem with medicals.
The Immigration Minister knew about the decision but was not involved, however the Prime Minister John Key has come out in defence of the decision saying:
"I think because they deemed under the clean slate legislation he effectively didn't have a record and he wasn't trying to hide anything, those convictions were a long time ago, so they let him through," he said.
The idea that admitting your crimes should confirm good character is a little difficult to swallow as is the inconsistency shown in these decisions.
Political support for Dotcom after he splashed cash around is extremely worrying. The government has already reduced the English Language requirements for investors (they only need an IELTS score of 4 now) moving away from concentrating on skilled workers to encouraging investors, and this could be a worrying sign that they are willing to bend the rules more if the right amount of money is on offer.
2) John Banks, then Auckland Mayor, provided Dotcom with immigration advice.
It transpired through the reporting that John Banks, then Mayor of Auckland, had admitted to giving Dotcom immigration advice in relation to his Residence application.
As Mayor of Auckland Mr. Banks may not have been aware that in providing immigration advice he would have been committing a serious criminal offence punishable by up to 7 years in prison – arguably more than Kim .com will face in the USA.
A perfect example of a much needed piece of legislation that was very poorly written and implemented (the Immigration Advisers Licensing Act 2007) was introduced in 2008 that prohibits anyone not licensed or exempt from providing immigration advice.
Mr. Banks is not registered as a licensed immigration adviser and does not appear to fall into any of the classifications of an exempt person as Mayor (although bizarrely as an MP he does as if this somehow gives him magical information on immigration law and policy).
Move2NZ as an independent migration commentator has written to the Immigration Advisers Authority to ask what their response to this will be. Their reply has been that they are thinking about it and will respond next week. Hmmm.
We'll see what the IAA does/says and what other tidbits of information come out about this case in days to come.

A Talespinner is a spinning coin that can be used like a twenty-sided die to determine a random number.
How does it work?
Step 1: Lay the coin on a flat surface, number side up. There is a raised point on the center of the coin's back which should allow it to spin on most surfaces.
Step 2: Set the coin spinning fast enough that the numbers on the edge become a blur.
Step 3: Stop the coin with your finger or a pencil (pointer). For the best result catch the edge of the coin. The number under the pointer is the result.

Coral Gables Sees Mega Deal; Largest Of 2016
MIAMI—The seller more than doubled its money in 11 years.
2121 Ponce includes a five-story, 586-space parking garage and street-level retail space.
MIAMI—It's the largest commercial real estate transaction in Coral Gables, FL so far this year. A joint venture between Greenstreet Partners just sold the 2121 Ponce office building to a member company of Zurich North America for $57.5 million. Greenstreet acquired the building for 27.1 million in 2005.
Zurich Alternative Asset Management, Zurich's alternative investment adviser, worked with the buyer on the deal. The sale of the 164,848 square-foot office building marks the latest sign of mounting demand for high-performing South Florida office properties among institutional investors around the world. CREC and CBRE brokered the deal.
"Coral Gables has long been one of South Florida's most desirable submarkets, and that position will only grow as office users prioritize locations that are walkable and in close proximity to public transit options," CREC principal Steven Hurwitz, who manages leasing at the building in tandem with CREC's Doug Okun, tells GlobeSt.com. "2121 Ponce has emerged as one of the neighborhood's best addresses over the past decade, particularly among companies in the market for space priced slightly below the rates at newer buildings nearby."
CREC and Greenstreet acquired 2121 Ponce in 2015. Since then, the office asset has seen significant renovations of all common areas. A leasing and marketing program repositioned the building as a boutique, service-oriented option for Coral Gables office users. CREC has worked as the exclusive leasing agent and will continue managing the office asset for the new owner. The property is 95% occupied.
CREC's Warren Weiser, Harry Blyden, and Andrew Remick co-brokered the sale of 2121 Ponce alongside CBRE's Christian Lee, Jose Lobon, and Andrew Chilgren. Roy Rosenbaum, director of acquisitions, and Sean Bannon, managing director and head of US real estate, led the way for Zurich.
"Our experience at 2121 Ponce is an example of how a building's value can be maximized by bringing a clear vision to life through creative leasing, construction, marketing and property management strategies," says CREC chairman Weiser. "The investments we've made over the past decade have transformed the building into a core institutional-grade asset, leading to this sale. We expect similar acquisition activity in the coming months given high barriers to new development across South Florida."
Located in the Coral Gables business district one block north of the "main and main" intersection of Ponce de Leon Boulevard and Alhambra Circle, 2121 Ponce includes a five-story, 586-space parking garage and street-level retail space. Goldstein Schechter, Fox Latin America, Valley National Bank, the Consulate of Barbados and CREC call the office building home. POC restaurant is located on the building's ground floor.
The office property's setting in Coral Gables' walkable downtown is also appealing to tenants as the $21 million makeover of two of the neighborhood's main retail thoroughfares, Miracle Mile and Giralda Avenue, gets underway. The submarket is home to more than 150 multinational corporations, more than a dozen luxury hotels, a free public trolley system, and boutiques and restaurants. Eighty-five new eateries opening in the last five years. Meanwhile, more than 1,500 residential units are expected to come online over the next three years.

As if we didn't love Ryan Gosling enough, we recently learned that the "Gangster Squad" actor loves to knit.
Gosling, who is on the cover of GQ Australia's February/March 2013 issue, told the magazine that he learned the craft from "old ladies" when filming his 2007 film "Lars And The Real Girl." He said that day was one of the most relaxing in his life.
In fact it was so relaxing that Gosling apparently fell in love with the method. "If I had to design my perfect day, that would be it," he told the magazine. "And you get something out of it at the end. You get a nice present. For someone who wants an oddly shaped, off-putting scarf."
Well, it's safe to say we'll be going to bed tonight dreaming of Gosling knitting something for us that not only has been touched by this gorgeous man but maybe even smells like him.
Click through our slideshow to see Gosling at his best and head over to GQ Austrailia for the full story.

BOOK REVIEW "Hak Aabhalachi"
Author: Shri. Na. Pendase
Language: Marathi
Genre: Biographical Novel
Pages: 241
Cost: 200/-
Publisher: Parchure Prakashan
First Published in India: 19 March, 2007
"Hak Aabhalachi" is a biographical novel on 'Lokmanya Tilak'. Lokmanya Tilak has been my idol from my childhood days. He is one of the top most respected, talented, larger than life, and God like personalities of Maharashtra. He is in the league of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharj for me. We still regret that there are still not enough books on Chatrapti Shivaji Maharaj. Same thing also applies for Lokmanya Tilak. There are hardly any books which elaborates the story of this Maharashtra's Hero. Only way today's youth is learning about him is through school books. And that is surely not enough. So when I came across this book I was overjoyed. And other reason to pick this book is that the book is penned by Shri. Na. Pendase, who is one of my favorite authors. So I had huge expectation from this book.
But book does not fulfill any of my expectation. I did not come across any new thing about Lokmanya Tilak's life which I wasn't already familiar of. Book is irritatingly repetitive. You will find same story repeated in every chapter. Book is not at all in the form on novel it looks like grouping of essays written on Lokmanya Tilak. As I mention earlier Shri. Na. Pendase is my favorite author. But I did find his class and quality lacking badly in this book. It may be because while writing this book he was really old as he mentioned in prologue. As a fan of his work I really feel sad to say that this is worst book written by him. And saddest thing is that it happened with the book which was based on my idol 'Lokmanya Tilak'.
Although it is not up to the mark of best novels, youth of Maharashtra and India should read this book. And try to know the great man who served Maharashtra immensely. I hope someone will do more research on him and put light on the life of Tilak. Or after 2-3 decades Lokmanya Tilak will remain as a statue in some junction or name for any train any station any road for next generation. He will fade away from history.
If I have to rate this book I will give it 3 out of 10.

For the last five years, the small Finnish game studio Remedy has weathered a stormy economy, kept its studio small against the trendy tide of high production costs, and has somehow kept Microsoft at bay from canning its project after a half decade of tinkering. Come May 18, Alan Wake will finally have its day in the sun. Unlike so many games that lose their steam and tech edge after a five-year development cycle (witness Peter Molyneux's first Fable and Dave Perry's Wild 9), Remedy's Alan Wake just seems to keep getting better.

Sadly you cannot mix and match cases and bracelets unless you buy the complete pieces that have those cases and bracelets. Though each does look good on a nice strap. For mere style, there are less expensive options out there compared to Rolex replica watches uk. Though for style, prestige, and value retention these watches are a good bet. Rolex replica watches uk has just launched a smart new new video promotional campaign called "Rolex And Icons." People often ask us "what watch brands are using social media well?" This requires a lot of thought as only a few come to mind who replica watches are even using social media properly. We've even asked experts who track this sort of data and replica watches uk it seems as though for the most part, fashion-based brands with a lot of products for women (i.e. Cartier and Chanel) are doing it best, and it isn't their replica watches uk that are keeping the social media momentum going. Rolex may be quite late to the social media game, but they are off to a great start.

Here's a Super Simple Way to Organize Your Used & Unused Batteries & Memory Cards
Organization is crucial if you're working on a set, especially if being disorganized means bringing the entire day of shooting to a screeching halt.
Here's a terrifying on-set scenario: Your entire crew has worked super hard to get the set ready for the next scene. The talent is completely prepared. Everyone's all set up. You change out the battery for your camera only to realize—it's dead. And as you fumble around looking for a fresh one, everybody is looking at you and it's mortifying and you can't find a good battery because how the hell are you supposed to know which ones are good when you don't have a system for that and now you're thinking your dad was right about going to business school and quitting "all of this Hollywood crap." (We've all be there, right?) You need to get organized with your batteries, bruh.
If you're in need of solutions when it comes to gear management, these Wolf Packs from Fangs Film Gear might be a good fit for you. They have a simple green-for-go, red-for-no design; put your fresh batteries in the green pocket, and your dead ones in the red. They come in three sizes to fit the volume of batteries and/or memory cards you go through, which is especially helpful for those that work on long shoots and need to change out their batteries several times throughout the day. The Wolf Packs also have a carabiner so you can hang/attach it anywhere, which is a pretty nice touch.
Key Features
- Dual pockets (green/red sided)
- 3 sizes (3oz, 5oz, 8oz)

There are certainly some cheaper/free ways to organize your batteries and memory cards so you can be more prepared when you walk on set but if you've got a little change you're looking to spend on something specifically designed to help manage your gear, the Wolf Pack looks like it does just the trick. Head on over to Fangs Film Gear to learn more.
How do you organize your full/empty batteries and memory cards? Let us know in the comments below!

I carry my memory cards in a Pelican Memory card case. The cards that are "fresh" are the "right way up", and the cards that are full are placed upside down.
For batteries I use two separate cases. One for fresh batteries and one for "dead" batteries, and these two cases look nothing alike so it's easy to tell them apart.

Mine are all numbered but I like you sugestion better going to use that. Thanks

I use the same (well, the ones with room for 12 cards), and mark one case with green gaffer's tape, and the other with red gaff tape. Cards in the green are formatted and ready to use, cards in the red case have footage, and the red case lives in the DP's pocket.
If, heaven forbid, a camera gets stolen, all the day's footage survives.

just go 99 cents store, discount store, or even purchase regular bags and sew'em together. color code'em with tape or fabric paint

I number all of my batteries with a silver sharpie, then just always shoot through them sequentially. I shoot on an A7S, so it eats through batteries left and right. This has always been a very efficient method for me. Of course, since I'm shooting DSLR switching cards really isn't an issue (I have a 256gb card that holds something like 10 hours of footage, and all my backup cards are different sizes, so they're essentially already labeled), but the system works there too and I've used it a few times in the past when I was working with 32gb and 64gb cards that I actually had to swap periodically on long or multi-day shoots.

Is this a joke? "Wolf Packs" can't possibly be serious with their pricing!
August 14, 2016 at 6:36AM
I've always had a lot of luck using the battery caps as a marker. Cap = charged. It comes off when it goes in the camera, and stays off until it comes off the charger.
August 14, 2016 at 2:45PM
CAP = Charged. Once cap is removed I place the used battery without a cap into the battery pocket. When shooting is done - batteries without the cap goes to the charger. Before a larger shoot I double check my batteries just in case - you can't blindly rely on that capped are charged (it might have been a while since the last charge or just being human and you forget things).
August 19, 2016 at 3:24AM
Way too expensive. Also, I don't like the fact that you just dump the batteries into a sack and they move around etc.
I use these holders: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Think-Tank-DSLR-Battery-Holder/dp/B007TIYYQ2/re...
Fresh batteries go with contacts DOWN. Once used you put it back in with contacts UP. This way when you open pouch and you see battery contacts up, you know they are used.
On bigger batteries like BP-955 for C100 etc, I just put a gaffer tape on top of the battery. Once used, tape comes off. Simple. :)

Anybody else cringe at 1:58 on the second video, where SD cards are just floating around with (relatively) heavy batteries? That looks like a recipe for something getting dropped/lost/broken.
August 15, 2016 at 12:08PM
Yup, felt bad for those SD-cards. Just a few good bumps and if you are lucky you have the SD-card in the middle of two large-ish batteries aaaaand it's cracked. I always have the cards in a separate small hardcase and use the face-up/face-down method that someone else also mentioned above.
August 19, 2016 at 3:28AM, Edited August 19, 3:28AM
I think any system would work as long as you're consistent...
Though I prefer rubber bands. Cheap and easy to get. Also easy to get off and on... Leaves no residue either...
August 17, 2016 at 7:55AM
I have transparent battery cases and inside of each is a small card that's green on one side and red on the other. Red side up = dead. Green side up = go.
When running and gunning I keep batteries in my vest pockets, charged on the right, dead on the left. I don't even need to look.
Why anyone would shell out that much money for a bag that's always going to be half empty with stuff clanking around in it is beyond me.

When a bright and enthusiastic start up came along with a life-saving idea to provide clean water, Italian network partners joined forces to provide an extra-specialised service.
Today, an estimated 3.4 million people directly or indirectly die from water related diseases and 783 million are still without access to drinking water. To face up to this challenge, Italian start-up SOLWA SRL developed a green and sustainable technology able to treat polluted water and sea water using only solar energy.
This means that pure, distilled water can be provided at zero operational costs. While the technology clearly had the potential to tackle a global issue, the company needed help to fine-tune the product and bring it to the attention of international partners.
To ensure maximum support, two Enterprise Europe Network partners in the Veneto region of Italy pooled their expertise to provide an integrated service exploring on the one hand potential technology partners and on the other, internationalisation opportunities.On the technology side, thanks to the network's brokerage service, SOLWA was able to team up with a Spanish research centre with complementary expertise. This has enabled SOLWA to enhance its technology so that it can be adapted to a wider variety of climates and conditions.
As for internationalisation, the network ensured SOLWA's participation in a high level institutional delegation led by European Commission Vice-President Antonio Tajani in Portugal, known as "Missions For Growth". This provided a unique occasion to meet other companies working in the international markets. SOLWA is now negotiating interesting international partnerships and offering its technology on the international markets - in particular to the developing world - with the continued advice and support of the European Enterprise Network.
Since 2008 the involved EEN partners have worked together in order to enhance the synergies and outlining their competences and skills. These efforts have brought to a clear definition of their role in the region, avoiding overlapping and a waste of time for the client. SOLWA benefited from the deep synergies and integration of the Enterprise Europe Network partners.

Salt has been used for centuries to eradicate unwanted plants. Old war practices included "salting the earth" to cut off food sources for the enemy or as punishment following a defeat -- a practice that prevented enemies from rebuilding. Salt can kill just about any plant life, including the ficus tree (Ficus benjamina). Rock salt, table salt, Epsom salts and copper sulfate are all effective types of root killers.
Weeping Fig
The genus Ficus includes about 850 different species of plants that produce fruits, most of which are edible. The species most often called "ficus tree" is the Ficus benjamina, or weeping fig. This native of India enjoys warm climates and grows well in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 10 through 12, although it is often found as a houseplant in cooler zones. The ficus is a resilient plant and difficult to kill. Often, a ficus tree continues to sprout seedlings from remaining stumps and roots well after being felled. You may need to use a chemical treatment to eradicate the remaining underground system. One of the least caustic solutions is salt, which works quickly and effectively when applied with persistence.
Drill and Fill
The best way to apply any salt treatment is to drill holes in the roots of the ficus tree and fill them with salt. Excavate the largest roots you see poking from the ground. Because the ficus tree has some braiding in its root and trunk system, it is smart to work in a circle around the entire tree, finding large roots every few feet. Use a 1-inch, extra-long bit to drill holes into the roots on an angle. Backfill those holes with salt, cover them with dirt and water the area. Apply a salt solution once a week. Dissolve 1 gallon of salt in 2 gallons of water and pour it over the areas you drilled.
Epsom Salts Aren't Just for Pedicures
Epsom salts, or magnesium sulfate, has gained notoriety for its use as a soil conditioner. When used in moderation, Epsom salts reverse magnesium and sulfur deficiencies, causing higher yields and better growth patterns. When used in excess, Epsom salts pulls moisture from everything around it, including soil and trees, which cuts off resources to the tree and kills it.
Basic Salts Work Too
Table salt and rock salt are usually made from the same compound -- sodium chloride. The primary difference between the two is the amount of refining done to table salt. While you can use table salt to fill the drilled holes, it is generally much cheaper to use rock salt. Rock salt breaks down slower, making its effects last longer than table salt.
The Killer Sulfate
Copper sulfate is a drying agent that has been used as a fungicide, antibacterial, pesticide and root killer. While it contains the word "sulfate" right in its title, it is the least saltlike of the salts. It is inorganic and can be toxic to humans and animals without proper care. Crystals are available in most home improvement stores, sometimes marketed under the term "root killer." The copper portion of copper sulfate binds to proteins and damages the cells, causing death. Apply it using the drill-and-fill method, but do not make a water solution with copper sulfate. If you wish to follow up the drilling with more treatments, use a basic rock salt solution.

The results of the mid-term state elections in India were released today to the chagrin of economic analysts around the world. With the next national elections in India slated for some time in 2014, these state elections (as in the US midterm elections) were a prime time to show either a welling of support for the ruling party (The Congress) or a tide change towards the opposition.
From the outset, what seemed to be a rather simple exercise has turned far more complicated. The results have posed more questions than they've answered. In the important Uttar Pradesh province, The Congress faired poorly. The regional Samajwadi Party (SP) won the majority that was expected. Unfortunately, it was thought that the SP would band together with the Congress to form a Government. The lack of Congress seats won has made such a coalition untenable. Furthermore, their loss has been seen as the opening for the taking of the Parliament by the opposition Bharatiya Janata Party.
So what does all this mean for the USD/INR pair?
In essence, it all depends on the actions taken by the Congress in terms of economic policy making over the next two years. Truthfully, they can go either way. If they become far more cautious as elections near and their power is challenged far more fiscal slippage and less reform can be expected.
If on the other hand, they decide to continue on the path of reform (as back-peddling has not paid off in electoral success), the current appreciation of the INR should continue.
Conservatism in the macroeconomic policy area can stall the rally that INR has had against the USD. There has been a somewhat steady strengthening of the INR since the turn of the year with a slight turnaround at the beginning of this month. Conservatism and a stalling of reforms within India would surely cause INR depreciation against the dollar.
On the other hand a continuance of reform minded policy would continue the rally as foreign investment would continue pouring into the country.
Stay tuned as the National Budget is released in 10 days and should offer a clearer picture of what is to be expected in the near term future.
USD/INR is trading at 50.65 at the time of writing.

Impact Factors of Supply Chain Management Journals
Note: The following text refers to a previous version of the JCR impact factors. A more recent version are the 2017 JCR impact factors (see there).
Few days ago, Thomson Reuters published the 2015 impact factors of well-known management journals as part of their Journal Citation Reports. Two SCM-related journals have an impact factor of 4 or larger: Journal of Supply Chain Management and Journal of Operations Management. Two other journals have an impact factor between 2.5 and 3: Supply Chain Management: An International Journal and Journal of Purchasing & Supply Management. Journals with an impact factor between 2 and 2.5 are: Journal of Business Logistics, Transportation Research Part E, International Journal of Operations & Production Management, International Journal of Physical Distribution & Logistics Management. Journals with an impact factor between 1.5 and 2 are: Manufacturing & Service Operations Management and Production and Operations Management. Among the journals with an impact factor between 1 and 1.5 is: Decision Sciences. Journals with an impact factor below 1 are: International Journal of Logistics: Research & Applications, International Journal of Logistics Management and Interfaces. However, keep in mind that journal rankings have a downside and should not be the dominating criteria for judging the value of our research. Financial Times has recently decided to include M&SOM rather than JSCM on the FT journal list which indicates that their list is not reliable at all to make SCM faculty decisions. Qualitative rankings such as VHB-JOURQUAL can be a good supplement to quantitative impact factors.
7 responses to "Impact Factors of Supply Chain Management Journals"
Marco Perona says :
Andreas, thank you for the very interesting update.
I agree with you that the (quantitative) evaluation of our work that is achieved by considering the list of our papers, weighted by the impact factors of the journals that published them, and maybe also by the number of citations they receive, can supply only a partial view of our work's value.
Yet, this is strictly necessary as a filtering criterion, in order to drop from the list those researchers that do not stand up with minimal publication standards.
Once you have a (short)list of researchers that fulfil those standards, you should look inside the publication list, and consider more qualitative and inherent criteria, such as:
– how well each person's topics fit with the position that you want to fill
– which kind of research each candidate is more in (e.g. quantitative, empirical, models, etc.)
– which was each candidate's role within each publication (main investigator / co-worker, ..)
– etc.

Stunning colours Emma, you really do Barbara's stamps justice.ReplyDelete
Sorry to hear about the shoulder - I have a trapped in my neck and the pain radiates to my shoulder. Physio said that anything involving looking down ie reading, sitting a desk, crafting ...(eeeek) is out.
What am I to do??
Oh well, short bursts should be OK - its been ages since I've sat to do any real crafting and catching up, but thankfully the boys are back at school now.....phew.
Take care,

and where I shall be born again with a new face and an untried heart." - Colette
Seventeen years ago, the girl I once was sat on this bench under the full moon. I was far away from where used to be called home, perched up there on a windswept clifftop, with the ocean raging below. It was toward the end of a life changing Summer, one spent close to the beach. My only personal possessions - a few clothes.
Home for those months was a tiny 10 foot caravan and the whole of a new and beautiful part of the country to explore. The coastline was wild and rugged, the sea by turns tumultous and then calm as a lake, mirrored my emotions.
your refrigerator full of food, your closet full of clothes - with all this taken away,
you are forced into direct experience. Such direct experience inevitably
makes you aware of who it is that is having the experience. "
I was empty - stripped of what I thought I was.
I hadn't realised how far what I had believed constituted 'me' had stretched - out into my art, my possessions, my home, my friends and my environment - until it was all gone and there was just me.
Detoxed and purged by the waterfalls of tears that had washed me clean, I was healed and opened up by living so close to the forces of nature. And there, sitting under that full Moon,
I felt I had been reborn.
I was finally calm within my own skin.
I knew who I was, and I realised that that was what was truly important.
I understood that home was inside me, that 'things' didn't matter, and that the things we fear losing, are the shackles that keep us chained.
I knew that from that day on, whenever I saw the full moon I would be reminded of those things, and that everything else is just icing on the cake.

'Traveling Man Bluegrass Festival next month'
The lodges of the Ninth Manhattan District will be back at German Masonic Park to host its Sixth Annual Traveling Man Bluegrass Festival, with five new acts to perform all afternoon on Sunday, June 11. The park is located at 89 Western Highway in Tappan, New York, and is owned and operated by the Ninth Manhattan, which is home to New York City's historic German heritage lodges.
This year, the brethren are promising additional attractions, like a classic car show, vendors, Shriner clowns, and that child ID thing.
Admission: $15 at the gate, or $10 in advance here. Children 12 and under admitted free. Gates open at 11 a.m., and the music starts at 1 p.m. (Music Workshop at noon.) Lots of free parking. Food and drink, including beer and wine, for sale in the park.
The bands slated to perform are:
RJ Storm and the Old School
Blue Plate Special
Feinberg Brothers
Jim Gaudet & Railroad Boys
Pork Chop Willie
It's always a fun time. If you don't know bluegrass music, or think you won't enjoy it, you're probably wrong. Bluegrass is heard best when heard live, so check it out. Proceeds go to several charities.

THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN PT. 1 (Ed's note: Spoilers ahead)
Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner
Directed by Bill Condon
After plot points about Breaking Dawn Pt. 1 spilled like blood from Bella's ripped C-section, even non-fans of the series had reason to believe that the fourth film would at least be an entertaining, action-packed WTF. So how can a film that features so many crazy, ridiculous, over-the-top elements — vamp-human sex, a demon baby, blood, gore and a wolf "imprinting" on said demon baby — be so freaking boring?
In part, it's because Breaking Dawn seems like the ultimate love letter to its fans — Bella and Edward (Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson) get their dream wedding, while wolf-in-no-clothing Jacob (Taylor Lautner) is shirtless within the first 10 seconds — but it also has no qualms about taking those fans for granted. The film's producers, writers and director know that it simply doesn't matter. The Twihards will turn out in droves and lap it up without discernment or demand for something better. A terrible script, poor pacing, and lousy effects? So what? Bella gets her man.
As usual, author Stephanie Meyer and screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg keep punching feminism in its baby-maker with Bella's "empowerment." When Edward balks at turning her into a vampire she insists, saying, "Hopefully in a year I'm going to look in the mirror and see someone like you." Then she literally has to cry and beg him to have sex with her on their honeymoon, stating she likes how he accidentally hurts her with his vampire strength. And finally she argues that if her demon fetus kills her it will all be worth it, basically because abortion is wrong, no matter how viciously Edward and Jacob spit out terse sentiments like, "Get it out! You think I could ever love it? I hate it!"
And honestly, that's even without going into the absolutely ridiculous sanctioned pedophilia subplot that has Jacob, the new alpha wolf — you know he's grown up because he can grow stubble — who charges in to kill Bella's half-blood newborn and then "imprints" on her, forecasting a creepy future wherein she looks exactly like her mother and has no choice but to accept her fate as the intended vamp-human hybrid of a wolf-human.
Yep. Enjoy. — Andrea Warner
