Department of Management Studies
News &Announcements: National Conference on Managing Business Enterprises in BRICS Countries NCMBE 2016
We organised an Industrial Visit for MBA students to a Production Unit On 7th march 2014 to PARLE Industrial visit, Behror Neemrana , Rajasthan
ICICI stock mind game was held on 25th November 2014.and one of our Final year MBA Student won first prise and got selected for national level competition.
Departmental Magazine: Vol_I_Issue_I, Vol_I_Issue_II
An explosion of technological advances is continually transforming the way we live and do business. Engineering managers have incredible opportunities to play a significant role in shaping the development of these technological advances, and the course of the societal transformation they are fueling. Through the countless strategic and operational decisions they make, engineering managers guide the development of technology in the production of goods and services that fulfill commercial and social needs. To be as effective as possible, they must possess both the engineering expertise to understand the technology they are managing, and the managerial skills to facilitate the efficient development of that technology. Their effectiveness is further enhanced when they can integrate these two competencies by bringing area management perspective to the engineering problem and an engineering perspective to a management decision.
The Management program at JSSATEN is geared towards engineers who want to stay in a technological environment, but focus on managerial roles. Through an in-depth, real world group design project, and course content in management science, project management, decision and risk analysis, information technology, finance and accounting, systems analysis, and organizational behavior, students gain the technical and managerial skills necessary to become effective engineering managers. They also learn managerial skills to help organize and supervise people from different cultures and backgrounds so as to maximize teamwork, creativity, and productivity, and to do so in an environment of global awareness and concern for ethical issues. Further, they learn to navigate this process with a broad, global perspective that considers the full range of technical, economic, environmental, social, and other consequences over an appropriate time horizon. While critically important to the success of managers, many of these skills are not emphasized in traditional engineering curricula. Graduates of the Management program may work in the private or public sector, and in technological industries ranging from computers to manufacturing to construction. For companies to compete in today's highly technical, dynamic, and competitive global economy, they not only need to have cutting-edge technology, but also the ability to manage it well. With a combination of solid technical expertise and managerial skills, graduates of the Management program are uniquely qualified to do so.
MBA careers are open to anyone who has earned an MBA degree. There are numerous MBA job opportunities available in nearly every business industry imaginable. The type of job you can get is often dependent on your work experience, your MBA specialization, the program you graduated from, and your individual skill-set.
The MBA degree is highly respected in the business world. If you network properly, update your skills regularly, and stay abreast of the industry you are interested in, your career options are virtually endless.
Specializations include:
National Seminar on "Recent Trends in Management Research" on 4th April 2014.
Ashish Sharma, MBA IV Sem student has emerged as a Topper (Rank 1) at Regional level and qualified for the National Level of STOCKMIND CONTEST organised by ICICI Securities across the nation among more than 550 colleges including IIMs in the month of December 2013 .
Ashish Sharma, MBA IV Sem student has also won the best project award in HR category for his project titled "IMPACT OF KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT ON THE HR PRACTICES IN NTPC" by Ghaziabad Management Association on the occasion of their 25th National Convention at Hotel Country Inn Suits, Sahibabad.

The apprenticeship contract and its special characteristics
The term apprenticeship contract means the contract, according to which the one of the contracting parties undertakes the responsibility to transfer to the other party the empirical knowledge necessary, for the practice by the latter party of a certain profession or a certain vocation.
It is not seldom, that the borders between the apprenticeship contract and the dependent employment relationship become "particularly blurred", especially in cases where the element of the work delivered starts acquiring, during the apprenticeship, bigger weight and importance, so that the role of the education recedes respectively. For this reason, it is worth it to proceed to a strict definition and clarification of the boundaries between the two terms, so that there arise no doubts.
In particular, forms of an apprenticeship contract are the original apprenticeship contract and the dependent employment contract of an apprentice. The provisions of labour law and the collective employment contracts apply on the dependent employment contract of an apprentice. They do not apply on the original apprenticeship contract, which constitutes a relationship of education and not of employment, since the apprentice is not employed for the production targets of the business, but for their own technical and professional education and training.
Within this frame, any kind of work delivered by the apprentice is done with the goal of them understanding better the object of their vocation or profession (Court of Cassation Decision Nr. 2052/1990). As a result, on the original apprenticeship contract there apply only mutatis mutandis the labour provisions of the Greek Civil Code, when those respond to the nature and purpose of this contract, while the provisions of the labour legislation do not apply (for example with regard to the time limits related to work, the minimum legal payment, Christmas and Easter bonus, holiday payment and bonus, termination of the labour contract, etc.).
On the contrary, on the dependent employment contract of an apprentice, which exists when the apprentice employee offers their work within an undertaking or establishment, aiming, at the same time, at acquiring knowledge or competence in a particular specialization or profession, the education on a vocation or profession comes as an automatic consequence of the application of the contract and within the frame of the normal function of this and does not constitute an object of particular responsibility of the employer and, subsequently, on this contract (of the dependent employment of an apprentice) there apply the general as well as the specific provisions of labour law, since its primary goal is the delivery of work from the side of the apprentice against payment and only the ancillary goal is the education on a vocation or profession by the apprentice, according to the guidelines and instructions of the employer.
Combining the learning process with work, apprenticeship positions allow young people to acquire professional experience as well as, at the same time, practical competences which respond to the requirements of employers. This inherent pertinence to the labour market makes the apprenticeship positions beneficial for young people as well as for businesses: the apprentices often stay in the business where they complete their training or improve their probabilities of landing a job position that will correspond to their qualifications in comparison to their colleagues in general education or in the VET offered by the educational system. In addition, small or medium-sized employers can secure specialized workers. The training of apprentices allows a business to form their work habits and to occupy, in the long term, employers with qualifications and professional fervour.
At this point, it is worth mentioning the "special apprenticeship contract", with a duration of up to one year, which is concluded with persons aged 15-18, who receive 70% of the minimum daily wage or salary set by the National General Collective Labour Agreement (article 74 par. 9 Law 3863/2010, as applies). The above-mentioned apprentices, as is explicitly ruled, are not subject to the provisions of labour legislation, with the exception of the health and safety provisions for employees. Moreover, particular legal provisions and ministerial decrees arrange issues of remuneration, occupational conditions and in general handling of specific categories of "apprentices/trainees", like, for example, of practically trained students of Technological Education Institutes (TEI), Schools for Schoolteachers of Professional and Technological Education (SELETE), Higher Education Institutes (AEI), or students of Professional Schools (EPS.S.), apprentices of the Manpower Employment Organisation (OAED), trainees of the Institutes of Professional Training (IEK), etc. Finally, it has to be noted that, depending on the category under which the "apprentice" falls and, subsequently, the provisions/ministerial decisions etc. that apply every time, there are also determined differently in each case the employer's responsibilities regarding the occupation of apprentices, practically trained university students, vocational students, school students, etc.
However, it is a fact that the education of apprentices demands from the businesses that they realise investments (financial, organisatory or relevant to the human resources), which do not always lead to the expected benefits. The insecurity that surrounds the yield of those investments might limit the business's willingness, especially that of the smaller ones, to occupy apprentices, much more when that takes place during financially difficult periods.
It is characteristic that the expenses for the realization of apprenticeship programmes are normally shared between businesses, apprentices, state (national or peripheral public authorities) and social partners. They decide what percentage of the programme is constituted of learning in the working place, they collect the financial resources through general taxation (state) and contributions (state and social partners) and they distribute them to the apprenticeship programmes, so that the expenses by the businesses themselves be limited. The businesses normally pay the remuneration to the apprentices and cover the training expenses in the workplace, while the state covers the cost of education in educational institutes. The apprentices undertake part of the costs, accepting payment or other remuneration smaller than the salary that they would receive as employees.
All of the businesses, independent of their size, are offered tax incentives, either in the form of tax deductions for each person occupied with an apprenticeship contract, or as a reduction of the employer's social security contributions. To the smaller enterprises there are special incentives offered, which contribute significantly to the increase of their investment in training.
Recapitulating, the conditions that have to govern the work and learning by apprentices are the following:
- The legislation must secure the rights and obligations of apprentices, both in the frame of their work as well as in the frame of their education.
- There must exist a reference point (competent institution), which will inform the apprentices about the rights and obligations of all parties and provide them with support.
- The apprentices that are connected to the business with an employment contract must enjoy all the rights and benefits of the employers and to be subject to all the relevant obligations.
- The apprentices must be protected in case of an inability of the company (e.g. due to insolvency) to provide education.
- The apprentices must have access to guidance and counselling services.
In every case, it must be noted that the legal adviser can have a proven decisive counselling role towards businesses as far as the development/shaping of a relationship (as a works, apprenticeship or dependent or independent employment contract for a fixed or indefinite period) is concerned, since they have the necessary legal tool at their disposal, in order to proceed to the relevant evaluations and place the real situations under the sphere of the right provisions, according to the specific features of each business.

I have a funny relationship with music, I think, in a way that I find quite hard to explain. I'm going to try here, however, and I'd be interested to know if readers can identify with me, or if I actually am unusual in this.
I'll start by saying what is not the case: I don't dislike music; there is music I don't enjoy, but there's a lot of music that I like very much. And, as this implies, it doesn't "all sound the same to me", or something odd like that—I can identify if something is out of tune (although I do miss things that more musically trained ears notice); it's not that it's something I just can't get into or understand at all. Nor is it the case that I enjoy the music I like on some intellectual, rather than an emotional or visceral level. Music affects me: some of it makes me sad; some of it makes me happy; some of it makes me excited; and all sorts of emotional effects inbetween. Nor do I ignore it: I do buy music; I do play it; I occasionally go to listen to it live. And it's not that I don't make a distinction between a world with music and a hypothetical world without it. The first is certainly preferable to me (although I'd be happier to live in the second when I'm trying to sleep).
It's just that, if the world we live in changed suddenly into the second kind of world overnight, I think it would be a long time before I noticed. For all that I like music, its role in my life is quite small. This does not stem obviously from my upbringing. I grew up in a musical family: my mother has sung in choirs since long before I was born; my father's not much of a singer (although he can hold a tune), but he spends most evenings napping to the sound of some CD. And I grew up in Wales, where singing (choral and solo) is at least as important as rugby—part of the school year is always taken up be preparations for the school Eisteddfod on St David's Day and the Urdd Eisteddfod in May/June. Throughout my childhood, there was a piano in our house, which my mother played often, and on which I practised (irregularly) between piano lessons. And in my teens I started buying CDs; but I never really got in the habit of listening to them as regularly as my father listens to his. When I relax, I've always preferred silence; music interferes with my relaxing, or with my work. I sometimes put music on if I'm doing something repetitive or automatic, but it's no good for other types of work; it just distracts me.
That, I suppose, is not all that odd. I know plenty of other people who seem to find the same. It's just that they all seem to have more space than I do for music in other areas of their lives. At the pub quiz, I recognise only sporadic songs in the music round, and then only ones you'd expect anyone to have heard. I almost never go to listen to live music; I certainly very much enjoy nights like Acoustic Edinburgh when I go, or the Edinburgh Jazz Bar when it's not too crammed; it's just that if I had to pay for it, I generally wouldn't bother. I'd rather spend my money on films and books than music. Dancing doesn't especially interest me, and when people talk about going to some club because they have a particular kind of night on, they might as well be talking about baseball.
And yet, I was keen to see Camille O'Sullivan this year at the festival—and not just because she's rather an attractive woman; the only reason I didn't go is that I had to spend the money on something else. So maybe it's just that I have very narrow tastes.
I think, in short, that music is for me what books are for people (like my brother) who don't much read. But is that odd?

New events together with healthy growth affirm AsiaWorld-Expo's status as a world-class MICE venue
Building on its success in 2010, the venue is poised for growth in the years ahead
"Extending our contracts with AsiaWorld-Expo continues the expansion of Global Sources' high quality, face-to-face trade shows. I am happy to announce the inaugural Medical & Health Products and Solar & Energy Savings Products shows scheduled to be held in April 2011, which expands and complements our existing line-up of China Sourcing Fairs," remarked Mr. Merle A. Hinrichs, Chairman and CEO, Global Sources, "AsiaWorld-
It is not only the "China Sourcing Fairs" that have experienced healthy growth since their introduction at AsiaWorld-Expo. Numerous other recurrent trade fairs have undergone significant expansion at the venue. For instance, the "Hong Kong Jewellery and Gem Fair" has become the largest event of its kind in the world since choosing AsiaWorld-Expo for its innovative "One Fair, Two Venues" concept introduced in 2009 – and this mammoth show continues to grow. In 2010, it grew by 5% to welcome 3,205 exhibitors from 45 countries and territories, with a record high of 44,274 trade buyers, up 13% from 2009. In 2011, the fair will expand yet further to occupy a record 130,000 square metres of exhibition space across two venues, making it the largest fair ever held for any industry in Hong Kong.
The "Asian Aerospace International Expo and Congress" is also returning to AsiaWorld-Expo for the third consecutive time in 2011. This important biannual event is set to be the biggest ever, with record numbers of visitors expected from around the world, including more than 300 influential business leaders at the high-level congress. Moreover, the inaugural "CARTES in Asia", held at AsiaWorld-Expo in 2010, was likewise such a success that the event quickly confirmed its return to AsiaWorld-Expo in 2011.
More new exhibitions, conferences and public shows such as "2011 International Antiques & Arts Expo – Hong Kong" (28-30 May), "Better Living Expo" (22-24 July), "Vitafoods Asia" (7-9 September), "Wine Future Hong Kong" (6-8 November), "Super Inflatable Game Carnival" (8-17 July), among many others can also be enjoyed at AsiaWorld-Expo in 2011.
"Our successful track record gives us great confidence for the future," said Mr. Allen Ha, Chief Executive Officer, AsiaWorld-Expo Management Limited. "In our 5th year of operation in 2010, AsiaWorld-Expo reached a number of significant milestones. The landmark "River of Wisdom – Animated Version of the Riverside Scene at Qing Ming Festival" exhibition welcomed almost one million visitors, equivalent to one-seventh of Hong Kong's total population. Our conference business also continued to grow, and we launched our newly renovated Runway 11 event hall, which provides unparalleled facilities for conferences and other corporate functions. In total, over 3.2 million visitors came to AsiaWorld-Expo last year. In economic terms, it's been proven that our trade fairs alone contribute over HK$9 billion to Hong Kong's economy every year and generate an estimated 18,000 full-time-equivalent jobs."
Looking ahead, AsiaWorld-Expo is set to enjoy strong market growth for many more years to come. Its proximity to several key cross-border infrastructure projects will make it the default MICE hub for the entire Pearl River Delta region, which itself is forecast to become one of the world's most important economic zones in the coming decades. Projects such as the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-

Guwahati: With Assam heading for elections - expected to take place around April - the BJP is all set to announce its first alliance with the Bodoland People's Front in lower Assam.
The announcement is expected to be made on January 19 when Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits Kokrajhar - headquarters of the autonomous Bodo Territorial Council - and announces a possible economic package for the Bodo council.
The Bodos - a plain tribe - dominate four large districts in lower Assam and determine the fate of 16 seats.
In 2011, with 12 elected lawmakers, the Bodoland People's Front or BPF had supported the Congress government, primarily because of the efforts of Himanta Biswa Sarma, the former minister in the Gogoi government who's now joined the BJP.
But now the equation seems to have changed. Beyond the Bodo stronghold, the BJP would also rely on the BPF to influence the Bodo vote in districts that have a sizeable Bodo population, especially the ones on the north bank of the Brahmaputra.
The BJP is also reported to be in talks with United People's Front - a rainbow coalition of parties representing different tribes - that claim to have an influence over 30 seats. But the Union Sports Minister Sarbananda Sonowal who heads the BJP in Assam played down these reports. "We are talking to everyone. Nothing had been finalised yet," Mr Sonowal told NDTV.
Assam is a high stakes battle, both for the BJP and the Congress. Having ruled Assam for 15 years now, it's almost a prestige battle for the Congress to retain the state. The BJP, on the other hand, has seen a surge in its support base and won half of the 14 Lok Sabha seats in 2014.
While the party has launched 'Mission 84' to win a majority of the 126 assembly seats, several senior ministers have started visiting the state. Last month, Sushma Swaraj and Smriti Irani addressed public rallies and today Rajnath Singh landed in Assam for a two-day trip.
This will be followed by the Prime Minister Modi's visit where he will also address the BJP's youth wing. "Prime Minister is an icon for the country's youth and our endeavour would be carry his message to the youth of Assam tomorrow bring about a change in the state," Mr Sonowal told NDTV.

Blood Test Identifies Women at Risk
Blood Test Identifies Women at Risk
Aptitude for Alzheimer's can be
tested; © Picture Disk
This discovery could lead to a new and simple way of determining who is at risk long before there are any signs of the illness. The thesis is based on the Prospective Population Study of Women in Gothenburg, which was started at the end of the 1960s when almost 1,500 women between the ages of 38 and 60 were examined, asked questions about their health and had blood samples taken. Nearly all of the samples have now been analysed and compared with information on who went on to suffer from Alzheimer's and dementia much later.
"Alzheimer's disease was more than twice as common among the women with the highest levels of homocysteine than among those with the lowest, and the risk for any kind of dementia was 70 per cent higher," says doctor Dimitri Zylberstein, author of the thesis.
Homocysteine is an amino acid that is important for the body's metabolism. It is known that high levels of homocysteine can damage the blood vessels and increase the risk of blood clots. Previous longitudinal studies linking homocysteine and dementia had 8 years of follow-up at most. The present study is by far the longest one with follow-up time of 35 years. The study is also the first to show association between homocysteine levels in middle aged women and dementia development several decades later. The researchers do not yet know whether it is the homocysteine itself that damages the brain, or whether there is some other underlying factor that both increases levels of the homocysteine and causes dementia.
The thesis also looks at a gene which, in some variants, appears to offer protection against dementia. This gene variant reduces the risk of dementia by no less than 65 percent when present doubled (homozygous) which occures in just one in ten Swedes and by 40 percent when present in mixed form (heterozygous) in additional four of ten Swedes.
"We have only been able to carry out a genetic analysis on just over 550 of the blood samples from the Prospective Population Study of Women, and want to undertake bigger studies before we can say for sure that the gene really does protect against dementia," says professor Lauren Lissner who supervised the thesis. "We hope to be able to perform the same analysis on more samples from the study."

Coming Soon in 2017
The Victory Park bar and restaurant scene is about to experience a dramatic change as we welcome new concepts, opening later this year, from some of Dallas' top food and beverage operators.
In late 2017 expect to see three unique concepts by Rebees, led by Dallas entrepreneur Tristan Simon. These will include a modern Texas saloon, a retail emporium showcasing local artists and makers and a creative workspace with a day-focused café.
The entire ground floor of the west Victory Plaza building will be completely transformed into a restaurant and entertainment concept by the groups responsible for HG Sply Co, Standard Service, Barcadia, Mudsmith, Beauty Bar and more. We are excited to welcome this concept by 8020 Hospitality, led by Elias Pope, in partnership with Brooke Humphries.
Humphries will also open a bar and tavern with a covered patio inside the parking garage on Victory Avenue. Wondering what a bar inside a parking garage looks like? We can't wait for the big reveal!
Last but not least, This & That Concepts is scheduled to open a 4,232 square foot restaurant and bar with a large second-floor dining terrace overlooking Victory Park Lane across from the W Dallas Victory Hotel. This & That Concepts operates other local favorites including High Fives, So & So's and The Standard Pour.
Victory Park is undergoing a redevelopment to evolve the district into a welcoming, walkable, and soulful urban neighborhood. We have partnered with Trademark Property Co., a national leader in retail development, to reposition and complete the retail at Victory Park to include unique best-in-class local and national entertainment, dining and retail uses.
Victory Park Transformation
- 1. Cinepolis Luxury Cinemas – 700-seat, 8-screen movie palace set to open early 2018.
- 2. Unveiling of public art program and installation
- 3. Two-way traffic conversion on Houston Street and Victory Avenue
- 4. Two-sided retail on Victory Park Lane
- 5. 85,000 square feet of new retail and restaurant space
- 6. Enhanced sidewalks, storefronts, graphics, seating and landscaping
- 7. Improved signage, wayfinding and walkability
- 8. Katy Trail extension

It seems like ages ago when the debate was who would be the better NFL Quarterback, Trent Dilfer or Heath Shuler. These top rated Quarterbacks came into the NFL in 1994 and neither lived up to expectations.
Shuler bounced around unsuccessfully and eventually found himself out of a job, Dilfer however proved to be a mediocre but serviceable Quarterback for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for six years before leaving via free agency to join the Baltimore Ravens for one year. But, what a year it was… Dilfer "guided" the Ravens offense and Ray Lewis and company took over the league with their defense. In the end, Trent Dilfer and the rest of the year 2000 Baltimore Ravens were left sporting shiny new Super Bowl rings. Dilfer would go on to spend four uneventful years with the Seattle Seahawks before spending the 2006 season as a sometimes starter for the Cleveland Browns.
With the recent injury to Alex Smith, the San Francisco 49ers find themselves putting the fate of their up and coming young team in the hands of former Super Bowl Champion Trent Dilfer. All is not lost 49ers fans… there currently are only five starting Quarterbacks in the NFL who have also won Super Bowls as starting Quarterbacks, and you have one of them – Trent Dilfer.
The other four?
Oh, uh…
Peyton Manning
Ben Roethlisberger
Tom Brady
and Brett Favre
so, yes it could be better.
In the interest of full disclosure, there are two other winning Super Bowl Quarterbacks still in the league but serving in a backup role: Kurt Warner with the Arizona Cardinals and Brad Johnson with the Dallas Cowboys.

Want to be in business for yourself? A computer repair service may be perfect for you. But how do you start and run a computer service business? First, read this book, written by a computer technician with more than nine years' experience working for himself. I started my business from scratch and built it up to a viable, full-time enterprise, and I will show you how to do the same.
I recently had a financial conversation with a smart, educated 31-year-old about what should be a well-known financial principle. I asked him if he'd ever heard of this principle outside of our conversation about it. The answer? "No." Yet it's critical to know about this principle and others like it if you're going to retire young and wealthy. That's what this book will teach you.
If you want to write more compelling stories and books...if you want to write faster and with less effort...if you want to sell more of your work...then this is the audiobook you've been looking for. Write Well, Write Quickly, Write for Money starts by teaching you how to write skillfully, because every honorable writer wants to write to the best of his or her ability. I'll show you how to write clearly, accurately, and yet concisely. I'll also show you how to conduct your research and interviews, how to write ethically, and much more.
The United States has fought a war against drinking and driving for more than 100 years. Many battles have been won, but DUI still kills more than 10,000 people in America every year, and injures tens of thousands more. "More Americans have been killed in alcohol-related traffic crashes than in all wars the United States has been involved in since it was founded," according to the National Criminal Justice Reference Service.


text: Ok, did the update to 2.2 with no problems (2 phones). Notice now that under Settings / Applications / Manage Applications /Running there's a lot more info than before. In the list of 'running apps' it shows things like Flickr, Facebook, Footprints all with the HTC Corporation underneath them. I'm assuming this is part of HTC Sense and they can not be 'turned off' since I tried to kill them (don't use Flickr nor Footprints) but see they come back on by themselves. Under the Apps screen there's no icon for Flickr but there is one for Footprints. But, it doesn't have anything under settings that says "Don't start" or similar. I'm just trying to make sure that the update didn't install or modify settings on some of the services/apps I turned off when I got the phone as part of my power management tweaks. It appears that some of these have indeed been reset (My Sprints, for example, completely reset to have all notifications, news, updates etc. turned on when I had turned them off previously). So, i'm assuming that the HTC related items can not be 'turned off' unless anyone knows a way to do it. And, just to make you aware, some of your settings most likely have been reset if you've done the update to 2.2 which will affect your battery life.

Efficient Power Management Based on Application Timing Semantics for Wireless Sensor Networks
This paper proposes Efficient Sleep Scheduling based on Application Timing (ESSAT), a novel power management scheme that aggressively exploits the timing semantics of wireless sensor network applications. The authors present three ESSAT protocols each of which integrates a light-weight traffic shaper that actively shapes the workload inside the network to achieve predictable timing proper-ties over multiple hops, and a local scheduling algorithm that wakes up nodes just-in-time based on the timing properties of shaped workloads.

|Please go, and go now.
Written by Curryman on Wednesday, 8th Apr 2015 13:07
I'm presently having a bout of amnesia and deja vous in parallel. The problem is, I have heard it all before, statements such as 'lessons have to be learned' roll of the tongue of a mouthpiece for the odious family that still taunt and sue the fans of Blackpool FC and laugh at the complete and utter dis-interest of both the FA and the FL.
I'm obviously on, partly, about this year's April Fool's gag, at least that's what it appears to be because we've heard it so often before and we are meant to believe it. Come to think of it perhaps we are coming up to the time of the year when the baying crowd need softening up a little so that a few more season tickets can be sold when the time comes and a few more pennies can drop into someone's grasping hands. Lessons will no doubt have been learned and a proper start to the season will be expected after a full pre-season tour.
Where the tour will be is anyone's guess, last year it was to Penrith. Now I have nothing against Penrith, in fact it is quite a decent little town, but to have your one and only pre-season game as your tour there is a bit rich. Add to that the line-up, trialist after trialist after trialist and it explains why the envy of the Football League suddenly became the Laughing stock of the Football league. It begins to explain why the club found itself in difficulty from day one of the campaign, when players who should have been in the team or on the bench were not even registered.
Now we are sent back from where we came, to coin a phrase. The spectre of League one football has been confirmed. In some ways it is a relief for the condemned to know their fate, but it is a tragedy of titanic proportions that appears to have been engineered from poor judgement and pure spite. Could it be that William Shakespeare was right when he penned – 'Hell is empty, and all the devils are here.' The devils in our case being the owners of our club and until they are exorcised, I have no doubt that the continued fall from the pinnacle of success will continue.
The fact that we have been relegated is disastrous, but the length of time we remain down is important if we are to ever see a Blackpool team in the higher echelons again, certainly during my lifetime and the lifetime of a lot of older supporters. Supporters who have been through this all before in the 1980's, supporters who have bled tangerine but are now so disenchanted with the miserly way in which the club is perceived to be run. Then there are the so called glory hunters, but truthfully a new breed of fan who have swelled the numbers at the ground and shown what can happen with a winning team, mostly gone maybe never to return. The youngsters who have been brought up on Manchester United, Chelsea etc via SKY television but who had never experienced the joy of a match day experience along with tangerine shirts blossoming around the area. What has happened to them? If, by some miracle, we are able to grace the upper leagues again, will they be back, or will it just be a case of 'seen it all before, I want an instant fix'. However the worrying part is if we remain in the 1st division or even worse go down again, our fan base for the future will have been lost, if it has not already been lost.
To quote the bard again, 'A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool'. I feel this quote adequately sums up the position we find ourselves in. We appear to have a fool at the helm, a fool who has become mute since his transgressions in text messages were revealed. This lack of any sort of communication from him or from his elderly in denial father has, rather than calming the situation, made things a whole lot worse.
I taught Health and Safety for many years and the one thing I couldn't get across enough was the fact that communication was the most important element in any business, club, team et al. This applies throughout, and not just to Health & Safety. Communication comes in all sorts of forms, through general speech whether this be one to one or even one to one hundred, body language and of course through the written word. From the initial communication there will be feedback, not always positive, and this gives the communicator the chance to way up his/her options. Clubs tend to communicate through meetings as well as through direct messaging and get togethers, formal or informal. Be warned, any club that doesn't communicate is on the rocky road to oblivion as people who rely or look forward to the next words of wisdom to come from above or the next meeting, become agitated and contemptuous of the person supposed to make those disseminations. That lesson appears not to matter to some, and thus we find ourselves in our unforgiveable position. A position that seems to have been purposely engineered or at least a position that has come about due to crass bad management.
My plea is for the Oystons to take stock of their situation and realise that they have passed the point of no return, where relations between themselves and their customers (the fans) have been damaged beyond repair, Put the club up for sale and go and look after their other business interests. They are not wanted at Bloomfield Road and neither will they or their family ever be, after what they've done.
What then? It doesn't matter to me if the new incumbent is not a Champagne Charlie, as empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that. So long as the new owner has that big heart we will see Blackpool rise again starting at fan level and I for one look forward to that day.

Gylfi Not Irreplaceable- But Not Trying To Directly Replace Him Is Smart by BarneyLW
So the dust has finally settled. In what seemed like the most painstaking saga in living memory, Gylfi Sigurdsson is an Everton player. A man the club were silently resigned to eventually losing has moved on and like so often in the past, the club must plan for life without their star player.
Too many things for a title, but stop with the xenophobia accusations! by waynekerr55
I had planned to write this in a different fashion, but Bob Bradley's departure from the club changes a section of this blog. The conclusion was as expected. A seemingly good man and a tryer who simply wasn't up to the job. In short he should never have been given the job.
A New Hope At the Liberty? by BarneyLW
A feeling of déjà vu rose with the sun over Swansea this morning. Another manager out the door, another few days of links, speculation, supposed sightings of candidates spotted outside Rossi's sampling the scampi. But for the first time in recent memory, there is hope in the air.
Swans Fans Were Angry- In A Totally Positive Way How a Common Enemy Helped Guidolin's side pull of by BarneyLW
A return from the international break, which in truth was needed to clear the air around the club. A frustrating transfer market compounded and exacerbated back-to-back defeats against Hull City and the champions, Leicester. Boardroom shake-ups and a tough run of games has given the Jack Army little to be optimistic about.
Guidolin and Conte- An Italian Managerial Head to Head by BarneyLW
A different league in a different country for two familiar foes; on Sunday Francesco Guidolin's Swansea host Antonio Conte's Chelsea side. So how does the head to head record look from their previous encounters in Italy?

Red carpet, champagne on arrival and ladies in little black dresses. The Pub in Mountrath will have glamour like never before this Friday night, February 10, when a local club host their Little Black Dress fundraiser event.
The event is in aid of the Mountrath Ladies Football Club and Deirdre Phelan, club treasurer, is one of the main organisers.
"We only set up the club in 2012 and we field teams from U-12 to U-16," she explained. "But we also started the Gaelic for Mothers and Others and that has been very popular. A lot of the mammies are bringing their children to play and are now getting involved themselves too.
"We've people coming from Camross, Castletown and Trumera as well as Mountrath and the night on Friday is a fundraiser and a night out for the adults in the club."
Tickets are €10 – or €15 if accompanied by a partner – and there are a number of top prizes on offer on the night, including a meal at the nearby exclusive Ballyfin Demesne.
Other prizes include a GHD curling wand sponsored by Heads Up Hair Salon, Afternoon Tea in Kelly Lou's, meal vouchers in the Grove Restaurant and Stir Restaurants and vouchers for Telford's and Frankie's Hairdressers.
Getting underway at 9pm, it promises to be a great night!

HGTV has captivated millions across North America. The network's home improvement, design, and real estate shows give people an easily digestible way to learn about the processes of home buying and renovating.
A home improvement network star, Mike Holmes of the DIY Network series Holmes Makes it Right, shows homeowners where other inspectors and contractors have failed. In one episode, Holmes takes the homeowners outside in the middle of winter. There is snow piled on each roof in the neighborhood except that of the homeowner.
But, what does this mean? Holmes explains that snow piling on your roof is a good sign. It means that the heat is not escaping through your roof and melting the snow. It is normal for some melting to occur around ventilation and exhaust structures, but there shouldn't be any bare patches on the roof.
Holmes then uses a modern technique known as infrared thermography to show the homeowners exactly how much heat they are losing. The results are astounding. Most of their home's heat is rising into the attic, away from their home, and through the roof of the home.
For many, heat loss is a serious problem. As a homeowner, the best thing that you can do to ensure that you are not experiencing gross heat loss through your attic is to check your roof just after a fresh snow.
Additionally, you can request an energy audit from a professional. Many cities, counties and utility companies offer free energy audits to residents and customers. If heat loss is found, measures can be taken to ensure that your home is more energy-efficient.
The best way to prevent heat loss is through the use of insulation. Adding insulation in your home is a sound investment that is likely to pay for itself rapidly in the form of reduced utility bills. For many homes, small air leaks, open to uninsulated attic space, are a major source of heat loss. These leaks should be filled before adding new insulation to your attic space.
Another way to shield your home against heat loss is by keeping your roof structure in good shape. In addition to proper roof maintenance, when re-roofing your home an additional barrier of plywood sheeting can be added over an ice and water shield that covers your entire roof's surface. These preventative measures help to protect your home against leaks and moisture.

This is one way you DON'T want to go down a water slide
SUMMERTIME means sun, beer and water slides.
And providing everybody follows the official water slide rulebook then everything will be just fine.
But this maverick wanted more from life and chose to slide in a strange – and eventually painful – way.
In a cringeworthy clip – filmed in Iowa, USA – kids frolic around a huge, inflatable blue water slide in their back garden.
Refusing to accept his place in the world as a fully grown adult – the man prepares to enjoy the slippery slide of fun
But feeling the wind in his hair isn't enough and he decides to go on his back, head first.
In a crushing reminder that he isn't seven years old – the thrill-seeker speeds down the slide, slips off the catch area and skids along the grass on his neck.
To top it off he crashes into a trampoline head first.
And he gets no sympathy from the youngsters who all laugh at his fail.
The chap gets up and – even though he seems fine – we all know he must have some serious bruising and grass rash after that.
But he's not the only daredevil to play ringa ringa roses with pain.
One lad decided to try out an Olympian flip in his back garden and failed.
And another jumped off a cliff to catch a frisbee but didn't quite make it.

Blueberry and lemon layer cake
Rhubarb and Ginger Cream Cupcakes
As rhubarb is a love of mine and Suzanna also grows it in her garden so it was fitting we tried out this recipe. Which by the way, is delicious and the sour cream makes the cupcake so light and fluffy and you wouldn't even know it had sour cream unless someone had told you!
Recipe adapted from Call Me Cupcake.
1. Preheat oven to 175°C. Prepare a baking pan.
2. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
3. Add butter, eggs, sour cream and vanilla and beat until smooth. Stir in chopped rhubarb.
4. Divide batter among the cupcake liners and bake for 20 minutes. Check with skewer before removing from the oven. Set aside on rack to cool.
5. Put rhubarb, water and sugar in saucepan and let simmer until rhubarb is soft.
6. Strain mixture into a bowl and put rhubarb pieces aside to coo. Poor liquid into saucepan and let thicken. Let it cool and then mix together rhubarb and liquid.
7. Beat butter until pale. Add icing sugar and beat until smooth and pale.
8. Add cream cheese, ginger and food coloring and beat until smooth.
9. Pipe as desired and top with poached rhubarb.
Green Tea Dacquoise
Dacquoise are little french cakes with a light crumb but just enough of a mouthful. The nuttiness offsets the bitterness of the green tea and is sweetened by the green tea buttercream. If bitterness of the green tea is too much for you, add a little more icing sugar to the cream to sweeten the mix or use slightly less green tea powder and almonds.
Adapted from Okashi by Keiko Ishida.
1. Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Sift ground almonds, icing sugar and green tea powder together with sieve twice. Set aside.
2. Beat egg whites until foamy. Add castor sugar and beat until egg whites are glossy with stiff peaks.
3. Add sifted ground almond mixture to the meringue and fold in gently to make the dacquiose batter.
4. Transfer batter into a piping bag with an approximately 1.5cm piping tip. Pipe out small disks (3.5cm diameter) onto the paper. Dust with icing sugar twice and bake for 15 - 20 minutes until risen and surface of the dacquoise becomes dry.
5. Make green tea cream. Beat butter until pale and creamy. Using a clean bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Add half the sugar and continue beating. When egg whites have achieved some volume, add remaining sugar and continue to beat until egg whites are glossy and stiff peaks form. Add meringue to butter and mix thoroughly. Add green tea powder and fold in. Transfer green tea buttercream into a piping bag fitted with a piping tip.
6. Pipe cream onto flat side of the dacquiose discs. Sandwich with another disc, flat side down.
7. For best results, make dacquioses and assemble them the day before serving and leave to chill in the refrigerator. They can be kept up to 3 days.

'Passing' firefighters in miracle rescue from flats blaze
A man had a miraculous escape when he was pulled from his blazing flat in an old convent building in the early hours of Good Friday.
William Douglas, in his 30s, was semi-conscious when firefighters found him lying on the bathroom floor of his flat in Arklow, Co Wicklow.
He escaped with his life from the flat shortly after 4.30am.
Firefighters were in the area and arrived on scene very quickly after battling a gorse fire at Brittas Bay. They were returning to Arklow when they got a call to go to St Mary's Court flats complex in the town.
When the firefighters arrived at the scene, several flats had been evacuated and residents were on the street.
"They said that one man was missing," said chief fire service officer John Connelly.
He said four firefighters using breathing apparatus entered a ground floor flat and found Mr Douglas lying on the floor of the bathroom.
"He was barely able to speak," he said. "We took him out and put oxygen on him until the ambulance arrived."
Mr Douglas and two others who were suffering from smoke inhalation were rushed to hospital.
Mr Connelly said the emergency services were at the scene within two minutes of receiving an emergency call, but another five or 10 minutes could have proved fatal.
He said flames from the fire were shooting out through the front window of the downstairs flat when they arrived.
A garda forensics team examined the flat later yesterday morning to establish the cause of the fire.
The front bedroom of Mr Douglas's flat was gutted and alternative accommodation had to be found for residents of overhead flats that suffered smoke damage.

Game Management
Beyond the Rules
In addition to officiating the rules and employing the proper mechanics, there are many other areas that do not fit into the headings at the top of the page (Runner, Batter, Pitcher, etc.). Some of these, like managing substitutions and proper appeals, actually are rules related, but most are not.
I've included those few rules-related subjects because they tie in so closely to game management. Most of these topics, however, belong in the library of umpiring conventions that have developed over the nearly two centuries of umpiring baseball.
