Belize City fisherman Giovanni Murrillo is tonight without a boat, following a theft on Tuesday during which his fishing vessel and equipment were stolen. Sometime during the evening, Twista, which was moored at the Lakeview Street Canal, was taken. The eighteen foot, green and red vessel, valued at four thousand dollars, contained two pairs of black diving fins, a black AC Delco brand battery and white cast net, as well as a Yamaha outboard engine valued at nine thousand dollars. The total value of Murrillo's loss is upwards of fourteen thousand dollars. Police investigation continues.

Summer is filled with highly anticipated superhero movie releases. While superhero epics seem like the Greek mythology of our time, with towering men and women possessing deity-like capabilities to save the world, there is something human in their approach that we as social sector warriors can borrow in our change management efforts. Whether we are trying to pivot to a new strategic plan or move to a more collaborative model within a community (see Collaboration Commandments), change is hard. While it sometimes feels like we need superhero strength to weather change, we mortals are resilient and can thrive by channeling our inner superheroes into a step-by-step process to change.
We are big fans of John Kotter's book, Leading Change, which breaks the seemingly colossal goal of change into actionable tasks that, with effort and planning, can be implemented in social sector organizations. His roadmap to change, as outlined in the graphic above, incorporates many of the best practices we share with our clients. The truth is everything has some element of change involved and these steps can be helpful reminders.
True for superheroes and social sector warriors alike, we need to gear up for changes in our organizations. In preparing our teams for tough sacrifices and new ways of working, we need to create a sense of urgency around why change is needed. Whether you are Iron Man demonstrating the threat of weapons in enemy hands or a nonprofit CEO facing regularly declining financials or the threat of irrelevancy in the market, social sector leaders need to show their teams that the threats are real and shed light on the real consequences of inaction. After a credible threat has been acknowledged, leaders should build a team of like-minded champions to lead the charge and develop a well-defined vision and strategy for a thriving future. The biggest mistake that social sector leaders make is underestimating the role that complacency has as an enemy of social change. They make assumptions that because they understand that change needs to happen, that all others understand it in the same way. Or, they don't prepare for an inevitable backslide once change begins to take hold, but barriers to change emerge. To mitigate this, we encourage clients to be a "broken record" – repeat and repeat until a new way of working is heard multiple times in multiple ways. By preparing for change, you are much more likely to build an army of support and have a shared vision and action plan that will help you weather inevitable barriers.
For any change effort to succeed, social sector leaders need to be fearless in spreading their vision of the future, empowering employees to take action and building momentum for success through short-term wins. In this step, you must often turn over the vision and trust employees to lead the charge. My favorite example of this is the YouTube video called First Follower. It will change the way you think about leadership and will be the best 3 minutes of your day today. In order to change an organization, your employees need to have a clear picture of the steps they need to take and systems (including budget support) within the organization to support their action. As Malcolm Gladwell has said, "If you want to bring a fundamental change in people's belief and behavior …you need to create a community around them, where those new beliefs can be practiced, expressed and nurtured." For example, if silos or bureaucracy need to be broken in order to facilitate quick communication and decision-making, leaders need to change those systems to equip their staff. The biggest mistake that social sector leaders make is losing momentum during this phase. To mitigate this, consider benchmarking progress along the way. Celebrate successes and ensure that employees do not become disillusioned when all the hard work and sacrifice seem to be going nowhere. We are big believers in setting up success through short-term wins – research shows that a series of short-term wins leads to a higher rate of sustained success. By communicating how the new changes create those wins and recognizing those who help in the effort, leadership builds momentum for even more change.
The last phase of the change effort is to infiltrate your organization by anchoring key values and behaviors into the culture. Superheroes like Wonder Woman do this by keeping the company of those who share the vision of peace and expelling those who don't. For social sector leaders, infiltration means bringing on staff who share the vision for the future, taking on new projects that further support the change effort and increasing participation to more staff. By engaging employees in the process and creating a cohesive culture, leaders can further their change effort. The biggest mistake that social sector leaders make is not integrating this change into the organization's culture and using it as a litmus test for future hiring and promotions. To mitigate this, consider updating your values to include the change or setting an annual goal to reinforce the change as a long-term goal. By building in expectations about employees' behavior into the fabric of the organization, change begins to perpetuate and sustain itself.
Change is tough for the social sector, but when leaders take heroic steps to call everyone to action it is manageable and achievable. And, when you hear employees and community stakeholders talking about the change to outsiders as the new norm, or even better, as their idea, you will know you have won the battle. We invite you to share your experiences with change and any successful battle plans for making it happen.


Ever had that sinking feeling after changing your dog's food knowing that for the next week you will have to live with awful smells, and will have to pick up loose stools and patches of vomit mixed with grass daily? Well, that's because dogs' digestive systems differ from ours.
You and I can eat pasta for lunch, steak for dinner and curry tomorrow, and we're fine. Dogs are different. Believe it or not, the microflora (bacteria) which dogs use to digest their food cannot cope with sudden big changes. Different bacteria in their stomachs digest different nutrients in food. Any sudden changes in their diets can lead to poor digestion and stomach upsets because the microflora has not had time to adapt to the new ingredients in the food.
WUMA! Dog Food, for example, is specially formulated for optimal nutrition. It contains a range of vitamins, minerals, joint health supplements and anti-oxidants to boost immunity, some or all of which may be new ingredients for your dog. Also, WUMA! contains no soya, no artificial colourants or flavourants, meaning a drastic change when compared to what they may have been eating.
So, what to do? The secret is to gradually change to the new food. You need to give your dog's digestive system time to adapt to the new diet, and to let those microflora get into full gear for digesting the new ingredients.
Day 1 and 2: Feed 75% of previous dog food and 25% of new dog food.
Day 3 and 4: Feed 50% of previous dog food and 50% of new dog food.
Day 5 and 6: Feed 25% of previous dog food and 75% of new dog food.
Day 7: Feed new food only.
If your dog is sensitive and prone to develop tummy problems, you may want to increase the change-over period. Puppies can be particularly sensitive, and if you see any signs of stomach upset after day 1, reduce the amount of new food and increase the number of days. Every dog is different, and you will be the best judge of how to go about it.
Look at our product range, http://wumadogfood.co.za/products, for the nutritional make-up of WUMA! Dog Foods, listing the special vitamins and minerals required at every stage of your dog's life, from puppy to adult to senior. You will also find detailed feeding guidelines on our website to keep your best friend in ship shape after the change-over.
We'd love to hear from you … please share your experience with the change-over to WUMA! with us.

Q: Trouble passing JSON data into embedded map I'm trying to build a page that will display several points on a map, each representing a scheduled event with a Title, location, date, link, and description. For the map itself, I'm using the maplace plugin (http://maplacejs.com), and the events are being stored in a .json file. Currently, I get no errors in the log, and the map appears on page load, but the points don't appear. Here's the relevant code:
data.json
{ "allEvents": [

  {
  "eventName" : "Event #1",
  "eventDate" : "May 27, 2014",
  "lat": "52.963619",
  "long": "-125.619140",
  "link": "http://www.google.com"
  "description" : "short description"},
]}

in my header script
 var eventLocations = [];
 $.getJSON('data.json', function(events) {
        for (var i in data.allEvents) {
            var name = data.allEvents[i].eventName;
            var date = data.allEvents[i].eventDate;
            var latitude = data.allEvents[i].lat;
            var longitude = data.allEvents[i].long;
            var link = data.allEvents[i].link;
            var desc = data.allEvents[i].description;

            var loc = "{ lat: " + latitude + "," +
                        "lon: " + longitude + "," +
                        "icon: images/icon3.png," +
                        "title: " + name + "," +

                        "
 },";

            eventLocations.push(loc);

        };
    });

and
$(function() {
  var maplace = new Maplace({

    //I have lots of other parameters here (controls, stylers, options, etc)

    locations: [ eventLocations ]
  });

  maplace.Load();

It's also worth mentioning that if I write out one location in the Maplace (i.e. in place of the 'eventLocations' variable, the pin shows up fine.
Thanks in advance!

Today is Harmony à la Carte's first birthday and I can't believe it's been a year since I hit that post button for the first time. I had procrastinated starting a food blog for almost a year, but one day just dove head first into custom CSS code and this baby was born.
Like many food bloggers, I started this partly as a creative outlet and partly to share my evolving dietary habits and everything I have learned in the process. I had been a health foodie for several years, but went on a 4 month honeymoon with macrobiotics in early 2013 which taught me so much about food, my body, my food choices, and myself. I learned to listen to my body, to treat it with kindness and give it what it needs and it responded well. While I haven't been following macrobiotics strictly, I credit it for giving me a push in the right direction and for leading me to the development of this blog. I've become a healthier, happier and more creative cook as a result and I continue to grow and evolve in my food journey everyday. For those who've been reading along regularly, you know I've also embarked on an adventure recently and I've gone back to school to become a registered holistic nutritionist. It's such a relief to have finally found my passion. Better late than never.
Speaking of birthdays, yesterday, March 5, was actually my "legal" birthday. I say legal because I was actually born on January 17, in a small town in the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon. It was winter and times were tough and since they had a long way to travel through Mount Lebanon to the nearest city they didn't get around to registering my birth until a month and a half later. I'm still not sure why it wasn't back dated to my actual birth date, but so be it, I can be thankful because I have two birthdays and can celebrate twice a year. Who wouldn't want that?
In the spirit of birthdays, blog anniversaries and the weekend, here's a Blood Orange Cacao pancake recipe to help you celebrate.
I'm not going to get into a long discussion on the nutritional value of this recipe, they are pancakes after all. However, I just want to point out that living a healthy plant based lifestyle doesn't mean you can't enjoy a decadent breakfast from time to time. For us, that time is the weekend. I usually make crepes, pancakes or a breakfasty baked good of some sort, on either Saturday or Sunday and very occasionally both. To keep things on the healthier side, I choose my ingredients carefully.
These pancakes are made with whole spelt flour which is higher in soluble fiber, vitamins and minerals compared to wheat flour. It's also easier to digest and tastes slightly nuttier and sweeter and is more enjoyable overall, assuming you can tolerate gluten, as this whole grain is not gluten free. I also added pure raw cacao powder which is a great source of polyphenols (antioxidants), a natural endorphin and seratonin booster and the best way to have chocolate for breakfast.
Citrus fruits are so welcome this time of year, adding a little brightness to a late winter day. These Blood Orange Cacao pancakes are made with organic whole spelt flour and have an intense chocolate flavour with the tart sweetness of fresh squeezed blood orange juice. Perfect for a weekend breakfast or brunch.
Preheat the oven to 100 C, and then reduce it to the lowest setting, just to keep it warm. Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper and put it in the oven, you'll use it to keep the pancakes warm while you're making them, so the first ones don't get cold by the time the last one is ready.
Sift the flour and other dry ingredients together into a large bowl, add milk and orange juice and stir to combine. Do not over mix the batter, a few lumps are ok. DO NOT ADD the apple cider vinegar yet.
Now, add the apple cider vinegar to the pancake batter and stir to combine. The batter will expand at this point, which means you're going to get nice and fluffy pancakes. It's important to do this just before you start cooking the pancakes, and you'll want to move as quickly as possible since the chemical reaction between the vinegar and baking soda/powder will weaken over time.
Place about 1/4 cup of pancake into the center of the pan. I use a 3.5 inch cutter/shaper to get perfectly round pancakes, but this is totally optional. The result is 8 thick and fluffy pancakes. If you like your pancakes thinner, use less batter for each one and you'll get about 10.
Let the pancake cook until air bubbles start to form at the top, about 3 minutes. Be patient here, it's important. The top of the pancake should be almost dry before you flip it. At this point, flop the pancake and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side.
Once the pancake is ready, Place it on the parchment lined try in the warm oven and proceed with the next pancake.
Serve with pure Canadian Maple Syrup.
Back when I posted my Life Changing Pancakes, everybody was asking how I got such perfect round pancakes and I told them, a cookie cutter! It really does make them perfect and fluffy.
These look sooooo yummy! Love the chocolate!! I'll take the whole stack ok?!!
Ogm Brandi. I totally remember you posting those pancakes and thinking they looked perfect…it must have been in the back of my head when I decided to use the cutter/shaper. Come visit and I'll make a stack just for you.


The youngest delegate at the Republican National Convention is 17-years-old, but the reporter who interviewed him is even younger.
13-year-old Maple Buescher is a middle schooler from Cleveland Heights who's spent the year as a reporter for Time for Kids—an educational magazine produced by Time.
Of 10 kid reporters with the news outlet, Buescher was the only one who conducted interviews and produced daily stories from the floor of the RNC.
"So, I was on the floor while they were actually casting their votes. And I got to talk to delegates on the floor. And I got to film. And I got to do Facebook live. And that night was just such a whirlwind, and so much was going on and there was so much energy and excitement."
Looking to the beginning of the school year, Buescher says this experience will add to the regular political discussions she has with her classmates.
"I'm sure we'll have amazing discussions this year and we would anyways but I'm hoping to be able to contribute some from the inside point of view."
The young reporter enters the 8th grade in the fall.

Read & Watch Cameron Crowe's Tribute to Philip Seymour Hoffman
by Alex Billington
Source: The Uncool
"That's what great art is about! Guilt and longing, and you know love disguised as sex, and sex disguised as love…" We lost a very strong voice in cinema over the weekend, a beloved actor with so many memorable performances in his filmography, with films from directors of all caliber (read Ethan's full look back here). Early in his career Philip Seymour Hoffman took a role working with Cameron Crowe, who directed him in his semi-autobiographical film Almost Famous as small time rock journalist Lester Bangs. It may not be his most unforgettable role, but it is a good one in an outstanding film. At his recent death, Crowe wrote a very moving and brief tribute to Hoffman in a memo on his official site. "I'm always home, I'm uncool!"
Here's the letter in full by Cameron Crowe from The Uncool, along with two photos from Almost Famous.
My original take on this scene was a loud, late night pronouncement from Lester Bangs. A call to arms. In Phil's hands it became something different. A scene about quiet truths shared between two guys, both at the crossroads, both hurting, and both up too late. It became the soul of the movie. In between takes, Hoffman spoke to no one. He listened only to his headset, only to the words of Lester himself. (His Walkman was filled with rare Lester interviews.) When the scene was over, I realized that Hoffman had pulled off a magic trick. He'd leapt over the words and the script, and gone hunting for the soul and compassion of the private Lester, the one only a few of us had ever met. Suddenly the portrait was complete. The crew and I will always be grateful for that front row seat to his genius.
Thanks to the joys of the internet, we can embed the actual scene from Almost Famous he is referring to:
For more video tributes to Philip Seymour Hoffman and his tremendous acting career, watch this one by Nelson Carvajal and yet another one by Movie Mezzanine. Or just watch one of his many, many great films.
As Hoffman has worked with so many different people over so many years, numerous filmmakers and colleagues have spoken out about him. A Most Wanted Man director Anton Corbijn wrote a whole piece for The Guardian; Charlie Wilson's War and Death of a Salesman director Mike Nichols: "No words for this. He was too great and we're too shattered." Indeed. Even Robert De Niro (via BBC News) spoke up about his friend: "I'm very, very saddened by the passing of Phil. He was a wonderful actor. This is one of those times where you say: 'This just shouldn't be'." It means something that others speak so highly of him, and I'm more than happy to feature more praise for Philip Seymour Hoffman. Said best by Lester Bangs, "the only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you're uncool."

Sixers go for fifth straight win, face skidding Raptors
The Philadelphia 76ers will look to win their fifth straight game when they host the Toronto Raptors on Monday.
The Sixers captured their fourth in a row with a 118-106 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Friday.
Even playing without Tyrese Maxey (fractured left foot), Tobias Harris (back) and Furkan Korkmaz (non-COVID illness), the Sixers received 34 points and 13 rebounds from Joel Embiid and 27 points and nine assists from James Harden.
"You just gotta find a way each night," Sixers head coach Doc Rivers said. "The late scratch game like (Korkmaz) and (Harris) tonight are difficult you know, because you kind of had them in your plan then you pull them out and you have no guards left. We sent (Jaden Springer) down, thinking we had all our guards or some back. We literally didn't have enough guys today."
Having Embiid in the lineup on any night can mask a lot of issues.
Embiid has scored at least 30 in six straight games, the longest active streak in the league.
"It's next man up mentality," Embiid said. "We are missing our best player in Tyrese. Tobias has been great this year. He's doing his thing, been efficient defensively, he's been great. When you are missing these types of guys it's hard, but I think we have enough talent."
Not only have the Sixers won four straight at home, they're 10-1 in the last 11. It's a good sign for a team which struggled early.
"I think our guys are finally seeing like this is who we are, this is how we have to play," Rivers said. "They know it. They're starting to visualize what we are and that's a good thing."
The struggling Raptors will aim to snap a five-game losing streak when they battle the Sixers.
The Raptors fell 126-110 to the depleted Golden State Warriors on Sunday despite 27 points from Pascal Siakam, 22 from Fred VanVleet and 17 from Scottie Barnes.
Toronto has been without OG Anunoby (hip) for the last four games and Gary Trent Jr. (thigh) for the last two. The prognosis appears to be more encouraging for Anunoby.
"I expect him back this week, sometime," head coach Nick Nurse said. "What (the medical staff) said, is he's back and through his sickness and both his hand and his hip are improving."
And Trent Jr.?
"It doesn't look like it's getting much better," Nurse said of Trent Jr. "I think they're searching for more information at this point."
The Raptors' five consecutive losses is their worst skid since a seven-game losing streak to complete the 2020-21 season.
The losing streak can be correlated to some key injuries. But miscues on defense have also been a consistent issue.
Golden State shot 53.1 percent from the field, including 18 of 39 from 3-point territory.
"We certainly had a hard time tonight. It wasn't very good. There (weren't) a whole lot of positives to take out of the defensive side especially," Nurse said. "We were just chasing them all night. We've got to dig in."

More Choices in Store: India's Retailers Are Stocking Up on Private Label Brands
December 3, 2009 • 14 min read
Last year, Tasty Treat, a private label launched by Indian supermarket chain Food Bazaar, came into the spotlight following a disagreement over margins between the retailer and Frito-Lay. Frito-Lay temporarily broke ties with Food Bazaar, which promptly stocked its shelves with Tasty Treat potato chips. The result: The homegrown chip brand raced ahead. In the past, store brands were considered cheap, no-name substitutes for "real" brands. Today, they are found across a spectrum of products -- from groceries and staples to apparel, consumer electronics and mobile handsets -- and are considered brands in their own right. What accounts for the change in status of private labels among retailers and consumers alike?
If you are in Chennai and in the mood for some authentic kasundi with your fish, you may be out of luck. The pungent mustard paste is part of the culinary tradition of West Bengal and is not commonly available outside the state. None of the big, pan-India food companies sells it. Supermarket chain Food Bazaar, which is part of India's largest listed retailer, Pantaloon Retail, introduced Tasty Treat kasundi some years ago as a private label — or store brand — offering. But you won't find it on shelves across all 119 Food Bazaar stores, only in markets with significant Bengali populations. Similarly, you are not likely to come across Tasty Treat khakra and thepla, traditional savory snacks from the western state of Gujarat, in Food Bazaar outlets in north India. "The product mix varies significantly depending on local tastes and preferences," says Santosh Desai, CEO of Future Brands, which is responsible for private label development for the Future Group, including its flagship Pantaloon Retail. "Unlike national brands where such differences are muted, with private labels, customizing your offering is critical."
Private labels weren't always taken so seriously; in the past, they were considered cheap, no-name substitutes for "real" brands — cheap in terms of price as well as quality. They were found mainly in generic products such as detergent and toilet paper, and staples such as rice and sugar. While many consumers bought stores' own brands, which usually sold at a substantial discount to national brands, they didn't often acknowledge it. For the retailer, the private label was one more way to earn a little extra. As quality improved, though, customers became more accepting, and retailers began to change their attitudes.
Not only are private brands now found across a spectrum of products — from groceries and staples to apparel, consumer electronics and mobile handsets — they are considered brands in their own right. The fundamental reason for the success of private labels is their price advantage, made possible by their nonexistent or very limited spending on product development and brand promotion. The bulk of the products are reverse-engineered copies of category leaders and they are promoted within the store, not advertised outside. Their value still resonates with customers, but it is no longer the only reason private labels are finding their way into more homes.
In India, the growth of store brands is a function of increasing retail sophistication. Large-format, modern retail stores (known as the "organized" retail sector) — as opposed to smaller, traditional "mom and pop" stand-alone stores — are presently only a small portion of total retail in the country. A report by investment bank Northbridge Capital, titled "Indian Retail Research 2009," estimates the total Indian retail market at US$450 billion, growing more than 30% a year and expected to cross US$720 billion in 2011. Of this, organized retail accounts for just 14%, or US$63 billion — although this sector is expected to grow 40% faster than the overall market to reach US$90 billion in 2010.
Harish Bijoor, CEO of Harish Bijoor Consults and a visiting faculty member at the Indian School of Business, Hyderabad, wonders whether the definition of "private label" should include single-store labels as well. "If it does, then private label's share [of the retail market] becomes quite large. Many small businesses in the unorganized sector do stick their stores' name on the products they sell."
Why Private Labels Matter
Private labels matter for several reasons, the most important of which is their higher margins. For retailers, gross margins on private labels are, on average, 25% to 30% higher than on those of manufacturer brands. In consumer products especially, retailers' margins on national brands are in the 12% to 17% range, which is not enough to offset the cost of modern trade overhead. With a house brand, the margin can be upward of 40%, points out Pankaj Gupta, head of the consumer and retail practice at management consultancy Tata Strategic Management Group. "From the retailers' point of view, the urgency is obviously because of margin play."
The introduction of a store label also gives the retailer greater leverage with manufacturer margins and an increased ability to ride out business cycles, because the retailer has more leeway in pricing, marketing strategies and long-term planning.
Retailers view manufacturer brands as little more than commodities that can be easily procured from any outlet. Store brands, then, help retailers differentiate themselves. "As these products are unique to our stores, we benefit [from] the increase in [consumer visits] and overall sales," says Gunender Kapur, president and chief executive of Reliance Retail. If a store brand becomes popular enough to become a destination brand, it has implications for customer loyalty and profitability. "If a customer remains loyal to the store but switches brands, that works for the retailer," says Avinash Mulky, professor of marketing at the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore.
To some extent, the market for private labels will grow on its own. "The more consolidation there is in retail trade, the greater the growth of private labels," notes Nirmalya Kumar, director of the Center for Marketing and co-director of the Aditya Birla India Center at the London Business School. According to a September 2009 report by PricewaterhouseCoopers on the outlook for the retail and consumer products sector, retailers across Asia — and particularly in India — report a strong increase in the sale of private label goods. "India may be Asia's most receptive market for private label goods. Today, private labels account for 10% to 12% of the retail market there, and leading brands are far less dominant than in other countries."
Even the economic downturn has not damped that enthusiasm. In fact, private label sales typically increase during a recession as cost-conscious consumers trade down from branded products. While brands tend to return to favor when the economy recovers, the correction isn't to the same degree, Kumar says. "There is a permanent positive effect."
Others echo that thought. "As consumers learn about the improved quality of private labels in recessions, a significant proportion of them are likely to remain loyal to private labels, even after the necessity to economize on purchases is no longer required," says a March 2009 KPMG report titled, "Indian Retail: Time to Change Lanes."
Retailers in India are spurring consumers' decision-making by expanding the scope of private labels. In the book Private Label Strategy: How to Meet the Store Brand Challenge, which he co-authored with Jan-Benedict E.M. Steenkamp, Kumar writes: "To be successful with private labels, retailers must remember when private labels add value. They should 'fill a void in the category' either in price or in value." That happens in three cases, according to Kumar and Steenkamp: where a copycat product offers consumers a choice even if prices are similar; where the market can be expanded by offering similar-quality products at significantly lower costs; and where innovative products that are not available through national brands are launched.
All three scenarios have been part of the Indian experience. For instance, most store brands in mass categories such as processed foods, personal care and home care are "me-too" products. (Interestingly, brands in grocery items are a more recent phenomenon for both retailers and national manufacturers: Traditionally, staples in India are purchased either in bulk from a wholesaler or loose from the neighborhood store.) The Tasty Treat label took off after a disagreement over margins a year ago between the Future Group and Frito-Lay. The snack company temporarily broke ties with the retailer, and Food Bazaar promptly stocked its shelves with Tasty Treat potato chips and a rival brand, ITC's Bingo. The result: The homegrown chip brand raced ahead. "The Tasty Treat brand outsells better-known brands in many products, and we don't advertise," says Future Brands' Desai.
Kapur of Reliance Retail notes that his company's multiple-format stores stock private labels in categories including processed foods, staples, personal and home care, and even dairy and beverages. "The prices are 10% to 40% lower vis-à-vis similar branded products, while the quality is consistently very good. The share of private labels continues to grow as more and more customers are discovering the value and great quality." The introduction of own-label mobile handsets by telecom retailers such as The Mobile Store, HotSpot and Univercell similarly falls in the second category of value creation by private labels. "There may be customers down the value chain who currently buy traded-in phones who would be happy to upgrade to a new, branded, reasonably priced instrument that is feature-rich and comes with a warranty for after-sales service," says TSMG's Gupta.
The third category — offering a product not available from name brands — is perhaps the most sophisticated way private labels can create value. This was probably the first step taken by organized retailers seeking to launch private labels in India. Store brands in apparel were introduced along with the first Western-style department stores and hypermarkets. When Shoppers Stop launched the STOP brand of Indian wear in the early 1990s, it was the first branded ethnic women's wear range. "Branded merchandise was not available, so retailers had to start their own labels," Kumar notes. Similarly, consumer electronics products have been available for some years through most retailers as big international brands or smaller national/regional brands. But Ajit Joshi, CEO and managing director at Infiniti Retail, the Tata group company that runs the Croma chain of electronics stores, says that "innovative products encourage early trials and are therefore interesting for private labels to explore and be present in." More than the usual laptops and toasters, the "Handpicked by Croma" brand is drawing attention because of its introduction of products including wine coolers, jewelry cleaners and binoculars.
Store brands in high-involvement categories such as consumer electronics seem contrary to conventional wisdom. "Indian consumers can be aggressively brand-conscious, especially when it comes to durables," Bijoor says. "The brand is seen as a guarantee of quality and also has flaunt appeal." Joshi notes that in electronics, private labels have "higher acceptance in products and categories that have low brand preference and high functional appeal. In categories that are predominantly driven by leading brands, it is a challenge to get visibility and conversions. Penetration in brand-neutral categories like peripherals and accessories is easier. We have a fair presence in the small appliance and IT category, both of which allow us the flexibility to offer technologically superior products at high perceived value."
'Just Another Brand'
By that logic, do private brands lend themselves to any particular category of product? "For most consumers, a private label is just another brand. Hence, the categories where consumers have less loyalty to better-known or promoted brands are the categories where retailers should try to push private labels," says Harminder Sahni, managing director of retail consultancy Wazir. Commoditized items with low levels of product innovation and emotional involvement from the consumer, then, are ideal candidates to become store brands. But given the regional variations in India, there is tremendous scope for customization even here. Kasundi and thepla are cases in point, but Desai also cites a to-be-launched staples brand that is a "highly localized effort," with even the variety of wheat differing from region to region.
How do private labels get potential customers' attention? For starters, they advertise — but not for all brands, not at the same scale as national brands, and, often, not in the same media. Unlike national brands, which may opt for 360-degree campaigns using television, radio, print and online media, retailer brands typically rely on local advertising avenues such as radio, leaflets and newspaper inserts.
The bulk of the communication, though, happens at the store level. That's because most retailers accept that 80% of purchase decisions are made at the store shelf, and the store is where they have maximum control. Thus, most retailers work on creating multiple touch points within the store, through extensive in-store advertising and placement strategy. "Private labels benefit most by comparisons, so retailers will try to drive sales, for instance, by strategic positioning of the product next to the most expensive competitor," says Bijoor.
In-store interactions also have an important role. The traditional Indian shopper prefers to touch and smell food grains before buying. Working on that insight, Food Bazaar outlets display open containers of rice, wheat and lentils to encourage customers to run their hands through the grains and check the quality. Similarly, grinding mills installed inside many outlets reassure customers that the flour they are buying is fresh — and fresher than the national brands.
Retail stores' sales personnel also play a role, especially when communicating the store brand's advantages. The price angle is rarely the focus of the sales pitch. Instead, the emphasis is on how the house brand is superior or similar in quality to the leading brand. Most retailers in India source their private label products from "contract" manufacturers. The KPMG report points out that "[in] India, very few players are into manufacturing of private labels and are very dependent on third parties. For example, Vishal Retail is increasingly shifting from manufacturing to third-party sourcing primarily because of increase in categories for private labeling and volumes." Importantly, big brands often source from similar third-party suppliers, a move that has implications for the retailer. Not only do margins increase, the quality of the private label product is likely to be closely matched with the national brand. For consumers who are sitting on the fence, that argument is often the clincher, retailers say.
Who Loses Market Share
Despite the activity surrounding private brands, Indian retailers recognize that it is highly unlikely that a private label will unseat the number-one player in any category. In fact, the conventional wisdom is that when a private label enters a category, it is more likely to take away market share from the brands in second and third place. "Private label products typically offer a wider choice to the consumer and should not replace leading category brands that help set consumer expectations," Joshi says.
Most retailers are aiming for about 50% revenue from their own labels, though there are exceptions. Pantaloon, the Future Group's apparel store, has an own-brand ratio of more than 80%, while the ratio is even higher for Trent's Westside stores. Consultants advise against tilting too much in favor of private brands. If manufacturer brands decide to walk out and the in-store variety is compromised as a result, customers may follow.
Manufacturer brands react to the influx of private labels with understandable wariness, especially during the launch phase of a store brand, when its nuisance value is still to be evaluated. If the retail label looks to be successful, the retailer's bargaining power increases. An addition to the product portfolio means greater competition for the retailer's limited shelf space. The result? Better margins for the retailer and more promotional offers for the customer. At the extreme, if too many players occupy a category, the retailer may opt for brand rationalization and do away with the nonperformers.
Retailers aren't tough only with manufacturer brands. They are equally uncompromising when it comes to evaluating the performance of their own brands. Barely a month after launch, Mela — a home furnishings brand — was overhauled after Future Group chief Kishore Biyani decided it wasn't working in the existing format. Another in-house brand, Fashion Station, has been phased out on similar grounds. "If you are in the business of retail, your religion is making money for every square foot," Desai notes. "Building brands comes only after store-level efficiencies are achieved."

The Original Montreal Screwjob – Strangler Lewis vs Henri Deglane
When you hear the words "Montreal Screwjob", a few words come to mind. Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Vince McMahon and Earl Hebner spring to mind. Mr McMahon screwing Bret Hart out of the WWF Championship. But did you know this wasn't the first screwjob to happen in Montreal. There was an original Montreal Screwjob!
The original Montreal Screwjob took place in 1931, in a feud between Ed "Strangler" Lewis and Paul Bowser. It was a tale of one promoter screwing another, and then him screwing back. Whether it was a shoot or a work is debated even today, and historians still have not reached a consensus.
The story of the original Montreal Screwjob starts with Paul Bowser in 1930.
The Original Montreal Screwjob
Paul Bowser, Ed Lewis and Ed Don George
Paul Bowser was a professional wrestling promoter, who was allied with Ed "Strangler" Lewis and Billy Sandow in Boston. He created the American Wrestling Association (AWA) in 1930. This is not to be confused by the AWA, the Verne Gagne owned promotion which was formed in 1961.
Bowser recruited a amateur wrestler by the name of Ed Don George to be one of his main stars. George had finished fourth in the 1928 Olympics in the Heavyweight class of Wrestling. This gave him an air of legitimacy, which was a huge aspect of wrestling in the early days. With the perception that the fights were real, being a Olympic wrestler made sure you were one of the toughest guys in the business.
Ed Don George began his professional wrestling training shortly after returning from the Olympics. He soon became a huge star of Bowser's AWA, winning the AWA World Heavyweight Championship. He beat Gus Sonnerberg for the championship on December 10th, 1930, just two years into his professional career.
As one of the most recognisable sports stars of the 1920s, felt cheated. He felt that he was meant to be the man to beat Sonnerberg, and felt betrayed that he and partner Billy Sandow had been left out of the decision making of the Championship.
The pair were two thirds of the "Gold Dust Trio" along with fellow promoter Toots Mondt. The trio revolutionised the way wrestling was sold and presented around America. They developed the first wrestling storylines, and were among the first promoters to promote full undercards, not just a one-match main event show.
Strangler Lewis plots his revenge
Ed Lewis was furious with Sonnerberg, but played along with the promoter and bided his time before he could get his revenge. He waited patiently for his opportunity, and was rewarded when he was awarded a title match with George on April 14, 1931 in Los Angeles. Ed "Strangler" Lewis would take on Ed Don George for the AWA World Heavyweight Championship.
Los Angeles was always a city where Lewis had a lot of fans, so expected the fans to be on his side during the bout. Despite being a fan favourite in the city, Lewis was set to lose. Lewis had placated Sonnerberg and agreed to lose the bout, even though he had every intention to walk out of LA as the new World Heavyweight Champion.
Ed Don George entered the arena fully expecting to leave as Champion. He had been told by Sommerberg that he was the AWA Champion going forward, and Lewis had done nothing to dissuade him. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary until the two men were stood in the ring. Just before the bout began, Ed Lewis informed George that he was going over in the match.
"We can do it the easy way or the hard way"
Lewis warned George that he had no choice in losing.
"Ok kid, tonight's the night, and we can do it the easy or the hard way!" Lewis said to him in the ring. Despite being an Olympian in wrestling, Ed Don George had no confidence in beating Lewis in a shoot fight. Lewis had become the first ever Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion in 1920, and was a giant in the sport.
The fans, however, never thought that Lewis had a chance at winning. Lewis was a respected veteran, but there were a number of young up and comers coming through in pro-wrestling. Ed Lewis was seen as a decent scalp for a champion to claim, and there was still money to be made with him as a challenger.
Ed 'Strangler' Lewis vs Ed Don George
George took the easy way out, and worked the match with Lewis. Realising he could not beat him in a shoot (real fight) match, the pair lasted 70 minutes before Lewis pinned George to win the first fall. Minutes later, Lewis applied a body lock/hammer lock submission, before pinning George's shoulders to the mat. The referee counted the pinfall and announced Lewis as the new champion.
The fans were shaken. Ed Don George was the champion, an Olympian and the next big star of Wrestling. Lewis was past his prime and while still a star, looking to be the man to put the star over than to be the Champion.
Paul Bowser, when he heard the news from his home in Boston, was furious. Bowser allegedly didn't think Lewis was championship material. He didn't think the aging star of the 1920s was promotable as a champion. Some say that Lewis know that too, but his ego refused to let him realise it.
Henri DeGlane vs Ed "Strangler" Lewis – Montreal
Bowser planned his revenge to take place in May of 1931, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Ed Lewis was set to defend the AWA World Heavyweight Championship against Henri Deglane. Deglane was an Olympic Champion, winning the Gold Medal at the 1924 Olympics in Greco-Roman wrestling. He was a Frenchman, so had the support of the crowd in the French province of Quebec.
Ed Lewis had little worry about the match. Despite going to work in a town run by Paul Bowser, he had no qualms. Of course, why would the man whose Championship you stole want to get revenge on you. Lewis was either too cocky or too stupid for his own good.
The match, like the one in which Lewis won the championship, was two out of three falls, As planned, the first fall fell to DeGlane, who's arm lock followed by a flying mare won him the fall. Lewis was looking as old as Bowser percieved him. DeGlane danced around the ring, making him run around and waste energy. DeGlane also kept his hands up, blocking any attempt of Lewis to apply his deadly headlock (Yes, back then his "finishing move" was a headlock). The crowd went wild as their hero won the first fall, willing him on to go on and become the World Champion.
The Screwjob
The second fall is where Bowser's plan came into action. Nine minutes into the match, DeGlane managed to grab Lewis into a hold, pinning the champion for a near fall. However, after the kick out by Lewis, DeGlane jumped to his feet with an almighty yelp. He ran to the referee, still yelling, pointing furiously toward his arm. Just below his armpit was a red bite mark, with De Glane claiming he was bitten whilst in the hold. The referee called for the bell, disqualifying Lewis for biting. With that, DeGlane won the match two falls to nil, and was awarded the AWA World Heavyweight Championship.
But Lewis did not bite DeGlane. It was in fact a ploy, by Bowser and DeGlane, to get the title back off of Lewis. It was a plot of revenge from that night in Los Angeles, where Lewis stole the championship from Bowser.
In the dressing room prior to the match, DeGlane (or an associate, it is not sure) but himself in the arm. Just below the armpit, he clamped down, causing a clear bite mark and drawing blood. He hid this mark until the opportune time in the match, and snatched the title right back from Lewis.
Work or Shoot
Even to this day, people still debate the legitimacy of the Screwjob. Just like in Montreal in 1997, some historians claim that it was a work, used to get the title off Lewis but as to keep him looking strong. Steven Yohe, author of "Ed 'Strangler' Lewis – Facts within the myth", has many points as to why he thinks it is a work, which you can read about here.

Sheer Joy, quote by Henry Miller
"Whatever I do is done out of sheer joy; I drop my fruits like a ripe tree. What the general reader or the critic makes of them is not my concern." HENRY MILLER, American writer (1891-1980)

Anais Nin's Writing Room
Renowned diarist Anais Nin — the muse of Henry Miller and many others — lived in Silverlake (Los Angeles) from the early 1960s until her death in 1977 at age 73. Her beautiful home, located at 2335 Hidalgo, was designed by Eric Lloyd Wright (Frank's grandson), the half-brother of Rupert Pole, Nin's then-husband. Nin led a complicated personal life that included bicoastal husbands (Hugh Guiler in New York and Rupert Pole in California). She eventually had her marriage to Pole annulled, but continued to live with him in the gorgeous house he had built just for her.
From REFLECTIONS by Henry Miller (Capra Press, 1981): With Anais I felt safe, secure. She delighted in keeping things running smoothly so I could write. She was really a true guardian angel, supportive and enthusiastic about my writing at a time when I needed it most. She was generous too. Kept me going with little gifts — pocket money, cigarettes, food, and so on. She sang my praises to the world long before I'd become regarded as a writer. In fact, it was Anais who paid for the first printing of Tropic of Cancer. For these reasons I feel utterly grateful to her. It's rare to find a friend, a confidante, a colleague, a helpmate, and a lover, all in the same person.

10 Writing Tips from Henry Miller
Work on one thing at a time until finished.
Don't be nervous. Work calmly, joyously, recklessly on whatever is in hand.
Work according to the programand not according to mood. Stop at the appointed time!
When you can't create, you can work.
Cement a little every day, rather than add new fertilizers.
Keep human! See people; go places, drink if you feel like it.
Don't be a draught-horse! Work with pleasure only.
Discard the program when you feel like it — but go back to it the next day. Concentrate. Narrow down. Exclude.
Forget the books you want to write. Think only of the book you are writing.
Write first and always. Painting, music, friends, cinema, all these come afterwards.

Henry Miller's First Writing Job
FIRST WRITING JOB
The constant battle to stay alive to stay fed, that's what made me. I wouldn't let it destroy me; I couldn't let it get the best of me.
Jesus! When I think of what June and I went through to make a few lousy bucks – it was nightmarish.
We printed some of my poems and June went from bar to café selling them while I waited outside. We knew she'd make more money if I wasn't around. Sometimes she wouldn't come out of a bar for a couple of hours. She'd sit and talk to some guy who'd buy her drinks and even pay her just to listen to him. She'd come out with maybe only fifty cents, once in a while she'd show up with fifty dollars and there I'd be, huddled in a doorway freezing to death with a valise of printed poems in my hand…
June was such a beauty. She usually went with me when I'd ask for writing jobs. We got sympathy and favors more often than if I went alone.
One day we met the head of Liberty magazine. I asked him for a job as assistant editor. He looks June and me over very carefully and he says, "Write me an article on words!" I jumped at the chance to prove myself to someone who could give me a good job, and it was a broad subject – I could write just about anything I felt like…
Well, it took a long time for Liberty to pay me. They didn't know whether or not to use the article because, as they explained to me, it was "too good," "too high brow." That bucked me up tremendously. The recognition and encouragement was extremely important to me. Eventually they did pay me, though the article never was published. Three hundred dollars was a windfall in those days.
June was with me when I went to pick up the check. On the way to the elevator the editor shook my hand, wished us luck, and pressed a twenty-dollar bill into my hand. It was people like that who bolstered my efforts, encouraged me to forge ahead. Without them I wouldn't be where I am today.

Henry Miller & Brenda Venus
During the final four years of his life, Henry Miller wrote more than 1,500 love letters (over 4,000 pages!) to his muse, a beautiful Native American actress named Brenda Venus. Originally published by Morrow in 1986 — six years after Miller's death — the voluminous correspondence was edited into an approximately 200-page book, with commentary by Venus. When it came out, the book received rave reviews, including a sensitive, insightful analysis by Noel Young in the L.A. Times (2/2/1986). Here is an excerpt:
Henry Miller's death in 1980 brought an end to one of the most extraordinary romances ever conceived, coming as it did from the impassioned mind of a man nearly 90, admittedly a physical ruin, and the good graces of a young actress, aptly named Brenda Venus, in the prime of her life. For Miller, it was love at first sight, kindling an ardor that kept him alive for four more years. He did what he did best — he wrote; and he laid it all on the line in more than 1,000 letters from which this volume is drawn.
An ordinary man, blind in one eye and partially paralyzed, might have taken to bed and wasted away, but not Henry Miller. Instead, he fell hopelessly, shamelessly in love and spilled it out in letters to his dear Brenda, wallowing in a euphoria that lasted to his end. He worked himself into a lather, at least on paper, and lived for those Thursday nights when she appeared at his door, took him by his arm and drove him to dinner at his favorite Japanese restaurant in the Hollywood Hills. One stormy night, to spare him hobbling through the puddles in the parking lot, she simply picked him up and carried him upstairs to the entrance. He accepted this with aplomb and a jaunty smile."
Dear, Dear Brenda by Henry Miller (with text by Brenda Venus, edited by Gerald S. Sindell with an introduction by Lawrence Durell) is available at Amazon.com here.

To George Washington from Major General Nathanael Greene, 11 November 1778
From Major General Nathanael Greene
Camp [Fredericksburg, N.Y.] Novem. 11 1778
We find ourselves exceedingly distressed for want of Waggoners. Mr Thomson Waggon Master General informs me there are a number of Soldiers now in the Hospital that are incapable of doing the duty of Soldiers any more. Who are about to be discharged from the service. Mr Thomson thinks they may be usefully employed as Waggoners and as they are enlisted during the War it will be a public loss to discharge them. If your Excellency thinks well of the matter I wish all such as have become incapable of doing Soldiers duty and are about to be discharged from the service may be turn'd over to the Waggon department. There they may serve themselves and their Country usefully.1 I have the honor to be with great respect Your Excellencys obedt humble Sert
N. Greene Q.M.G.
1. Richard Kidder Meade replied for GW on this date: "His Excy rec'd your favor of this date, and desires me to inform you that he approves of your proposition of taking into employ as Waggoners all such as may be fit for that service and are unable to do duty as Soldiers, and that the director of the Hospitals shall be instructed to turn all such over to you" (DLC:GW); see also General Orders, 12 November.

Austin City Limits Music Festival | Are You Listening?
After a great start to my ACL weekend I was looking forward to an amazing Day Two. I drove down to the city with the hopes of parking in the Palmer Events Center, but unfortunately the lot was closed again. When I attempted to park at the Elks Club again, it seemed to already be full, so I decided to just drive around till I found something. I ended up parking at a lot near Threadgill's, which is a much further hike. Because it was so hot out I decided to take a pedi-cab to the park this time.
It was a pleasant, although bumpy ride. As I was walking over to the Bud Light stage to see my first band, I just had to stop and take a photo of this great view of Austin's skyline. It was beautiful!!
I got there just in time for Delta Rae. I wasn't familiar with this band, but there was nobody else I wanted to see at this time slot, so I figured, 'What the hell??' They were more of a country band, so a little bit out of my comfort zone, but they were very good. They were into their set and they had the crowd into them too. I liked it. I didn't love it, but I liked it. Before they were over, I made my way over to the Lady Bird stage to get my blanket set up for Portugal. The Man. I had heard such great things about this band. I have one of their albums, but I'm not that familiar with all of their songs. They had a great crowd for their show. I have to admit though, that I was feeling really exhausted and the sun beating down did not help. I ended up laying down under my umbrella and I kinda dozed off for a minute. But I'll tell ya what woke me up…this incredibly badass cover they did of the Beatles' "Helter Skelter".
Yeah, I totally woke up for that. This band is more of a psychedelic rock band, so this version of the song was so unique and cool. I really loved it. And I managed to stay up for the rest of their rocking set. I wish I had seen the whole thing because my sleeping is no reflection of their performance. They were great! When they were done I headed back to the Bud Light stage to catch The Joy Formidable.
After they finished playing I ran to grab some food. I was super excited to see Kendrick Lamar because I had heard such great things about his live shows. When I started approaching the Honda stage I was left dumbfounded at the amount of people surrounding it. It was a SEA of people. I had to take a picture.
I seriously had not seen a crowd that big yet at the fest. WOW!! He had already started playing. I got there on his 3rd or 4th song.
I would love to see this guy perform a full show. I can only imagine how crazy it would get. I started walking over to the Lady Bird stage to find my spot for The Cure because I thought Kendrick's show was over. And then, I heard his music come back on. I was pissed because I would have stayed over there if I had thought he would encore. But the stage lights had come on, so I thought he was done. Booo!! But it was pretty difficult to cut across the crowd to get to The Cure's stage, so I just kept going. I wasn't interested in getting super close. There were just too many people. So I picked a good spot where I had a nice view of the big screens. I mostly wanted to be able to enjoy the show without being packed in the crowd. I had NEVER seen The Cure up until now so this was the moment I had been waiting for! I was too too excited. And Robert Smith did NOT let me down.
I mean, REALLY??? Look at that set list!! I was in heaven, I tell ya!! I enjoyed every single minute of this show. And I was so psyched to see how much Robert Smith enjoyed his audience. He was smiling and dancing around. It was so great. About half an hour before their set ended it started to rain…rain HARD!! Because it was the end of the night and I really didn't care if I got wet, I didn't even bother putting up my umbrella. I just put on my hood and enjoyed the music. I stayed till the bitter end. "Boys Don't Cry" was their final song. There was no encore. They just ended there. It was two hours of bliss. I was so happy to finally have seen one of my favorite bands. I was drenched & satisfied! I actually walked all the way back to my car. It took me about 40 minutes, but I was always in the midst of a crowd, so it was all good. The worst part was driving home sopping wet. I wasn't looking forward to the next day of mud, but I WAS looking forward to the next day of music. It would be my biggest day of the weekend..or so I thought!

The shocking event that took place during the social protest in Tel Aviv on Saturday where a Haifa resident in his 40s set himself on fire triggered a wave of reactions amongst protesters.

Protester who took part in social protest sets himself on fire, rushed to hospital in serious condition and suffering from third degree burns. 'State robbed me,' he said in letter
Stav Shaffir, one of the leaders of the social protest told Ynet shortly after the incident that "it was a horrifying sight. I don't want to see any victims of this revolution."
"I didn't know this man, but reading his letter and seeing what he did… I think that he was trying to remind us that we're in the middle of a social struggle, and that there are people at fault here. He clearly blames the government."

"He said he didn't agree to be homeless anymore. This horrifying incident should serve as a wake-up call. We need to reach results and quickly because we don't have anytime left; more and more people are losing themselves to the system."
Social protest leader Daphni Leef further commented on the self-immolation incident and said "This is an extreme act by a person who broke down in the face of the cruelty of the system."
She wished the victim a swift recovery and called on the government "to take responsibility and make sure such tragedies never occur in Israel again."
MK Nino Abesadze (Kadima) who also attended the rally said: "All of a sudden I saw a huge ball of fire. At first we didn't know what it was but then when we realized that it was a person, we all started pouring water on him."
"I'm shocked. We took to the streets today in demand for social justice. Our demands are true and just but we must not allow people to sacrifice themselves or harm themselves for this cause."
