Criminal Justice Training
Paralegal or Legal Assistant is an exciting occupation in the Felony Justice area. Punishment (in the form of prison time) might serve quite a lot of functions. First, and most obviously, the incarceration of criminals removes them from the final population and inhibits their skill to perpetrate further crimes. A brand new aim of jail punishments is to supply criminals an opportunity to be rehabilitated. Many fashionable prisons supply education or job coaching to prisoners as a chance to study a vocation and thereby earn a reputable residing when they are returned to society. Religious institutions even have a presence in lots of prisons, with the goal of educating ethics and instilling a sense of morality in the prisoners. If a prisoner is launched earlier than his time is served, he is launched as a parole. Which means they are launched, however the restrictions are higher than that of somebody … Read moreContinue reading

The "Faros " of Raches is one of the best spots in the Mediterranean for kitesurfing and windsurfing. According to Kite surfers, this beach is ideal due to the stability of the winds and the amount of windy days/month. It also has one unique feature, a stripe of sand offering both flat and wavy conditions.
This makes the spot an ideal place where many athletes from different regions of Greece, but also from abroad meet.

All the summer, the village is full of energy and liveliness. Raches are also famous for their excellent food and summer sports.

Best sounds period. Always know it's going to be quality with any Sound Oracle release. I love the new Moon Rocks sounds
From the moment I used @SoundOracle's drums, I've had #1 after #1 on the charts. Whats even more insain is that I'm using drums from the same sound designer as my producer icon @Timbaland. Authenticity of the purcussion loops, music loops and over-all quality is unmatched.
This site always gives me inspiration when I need it. The loops are some of the best I've heard, and the drum samples are really high quality. Whenever I am stuck creatively, I almost always turn to these sounds.
Super clean and professional. Every sound is unique and can take productions to another level whether it's the drums or samples

Jurgen Klopp has hailed Naby Keita's finest performance to date for Liverpool — and won't lose patience with the £53million midfielder.
Keita was singled out for praise by Klopp on the pitch after the final whistle in Saturday's 3-0 win over Bournemouth, and told he'd made a "big step" forward.
The Guinea international, who the Reds had to wait until this summer for despite doing a deal with RB Leipzig a year earlier — ran the game from deep in midfield, including a terrific, defence-opening pass in the build-up to the final goal, scored by Mo Salah.
Klopp said: "This was a really good game.
"There is still a lot to come, because he is still adapting. Sometimes it takes longer, that's how it is. People lose patience, that's normal. But we don't. You have to talk and explain. For a boy or a young boy – he turns 24 – he made a big move from Leipzig to Liverpool ; he wants to do it right.
"Against Bournemouth , it looked natural. That's exactly where we wanted it to come and where we wanted it to go. It was the big step he needed.
"We have a lot of options. Hendo (Jordan Henderson) maybe could have played. Adam (Lallana) could have played again. But it was clear that Naby was pretty much one of the first on the teamsheet."
Klopp wants his big-money man to find his rhythm and added: "I've said it pretty much about all of the [new] players — we are really demanding. The boys have a lot to learn, if you want. It's not that it's constantly about that."

CoinJoy Review
For participants actively engaging with the crypto market, it is advisable to have all the tools required to cope with increasingly evolving narratives. This requirement is particularly critical for individuals whose profitability depends on quick responses to changing tides. This is where crypto news aggregators enter the fray and why we have decided to explore the features of Coinjoy.io, one of the latest and most impressive additions to this landscape. Here, we will look at the core fundamentals of this product as well as its pros and cons.
What Is Coinjoy.Io?
Coinjoy.io is a new breed of crypto news aggregator that has done enough to feature on our prestigious list of top crypto websites. The platform came into the scene in early 2020 with the mandate of establishing an all-in-one site, where crypto participants can track happenings in the budding industry. Even though it is a new offering, Coinjoy.io has shown that it understands the rudimentary of the crypto landscape and the fundamental needs of participants. And so, its features tackle prevalent issues associated with crypto news trackers.
What Are the Features of Coinjoy.Io?
News Aggregator Algorithm
As you would expect of an aggregating platform, Coinjoy.io has an algorithm that collates news from a long list of media platforms committed to providing accurate and up-to-date reports on the latest crypto developments and events. This algorithm indicates the time of publication and displays a preview of the news. With this capability, users do not need to visit the sources of aggregated news before having a clear understanding of what it contains. This model is more convenient than the popularly utilized headlines aggregating algorithms.
Crypto Price Tracker
Apart from enabling a crypto news aggregating feature, the platform also offers an interface that tracks the live price movements of 12 popular cryptocurrencies. This functionality allows users to keep track of price movements and also analyze how events or developments alter market conditions. In other words, Coinjoy.io provides an array of trackers for extensive fundamental analysis. Besides, a click on the prices of these digital assets redirects users to CryptoCompare, where further analysis and data are provided.
It Has A Media Section
One thing we found interesting about Coinjoy.io is its attention to detail. In a section tagged ''Media," the website publishes articles encapsulating popular crypto events and other core developments brewing within the industry. Likewise, there is a column in the form of a weekly summary that rehashes exciting developments in the crypto world. The media section also contains reviews about other crypto websites and comprehensive guides explaining processes and systems relating to blockchain and crypto technologies.
What Are the Pros and Cons of Coinjoy.Io?
Having explored the features of Coinjoy.io, the next step is to identify its strengths as well as its flaws.
Pros of Coinjoy.Io
The Platform Is Free
Coinjoy.io has made sure that its visitors access all the features mentioned above free of charge. Therefore, users do not need to pay to enjoy these services, nor do they need to register or submit their details to receive special privileges.
The Interface Is Neat and Simple
Another notable advantage of using this news aggregator revolves around its user interface. The website utilizes an aesthetic and simple design that promotes fast navigation and boosts user experience. All the features and tracking systems of Coinjoy are neatly toggled on the home screen. This feat is even more impressive when you consider that site provides a preview of aggregated news. Furthermore, the platform incorporates a dark-themed screen design option.
The Website's Algorithm Is Efficient
The essence of adopting a news aggregator site is to have all the critical and latest news in a single and well-arranged setup. And so, it only made sense that Coinjoy.io ensured that its algorithm logs entries swiftly. In other words, Coinjoy.io immediately logs crypto news whenever supported media platforms publish them. It is worth mentioning that this bodes well for crypto traders, as they ought to identify tropes that could change trends quickly. While compiling this review, we noticed that the aggregator even acknowledges crypto news in a variety of languages, which is a rare feat. Hence, this led us to believe that the team behind this project is looking to establish a platform suitable for a global market.
It Relies on Credible Sources for Its News
Other than offering a fast crypto news aggregator algorithm, Coinjoy.io has also ascertained that all of its sources are credible new portals. After going through its list of the 47 supported news portals, we discovered that Coinjoy.io prioritizes media platforms with reputable track records. This list includes prominent sites featured on our top crypto news websites category, including Cointelegraph, Coindesk, and be[in]crypto.
The Website Has No Ads
It is also a rare undertaking that Coinjoy.io chose to enable a website that is completely free of ads, even though it is providing news aggregating functionalities in exchange for nothing. This notable move is a major boost for user experience as visitors do not have to worry about distractions while using the tools made available on the website.
It Is Mobile-Friendly
To improve on UI and UX, the design adopted for the Coinjoy.io website is mobile.friendly. During the analysis of the mobile version of the site, we noticed that all tools were functioning appropriately. In other words, there were no disparities between the user experience of the desktop and mobile versions of the site.
Cons of Coinjoy.io
There Are No Alerting Tools
From our research, we discovered that Coinjoy.io is an ongoing project. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that certain functionalities are yet to feature on the website. One of such functionalities is the alerting tool. Without this, users cannot receive notifications whenever the platform logs one or more events that could alter the price movements of digital assets in their portfolios.
There Are No Community Sentiment Indicators
Another vital feature absent on the site is the community sentiment indicator. This tool allows users to have an idea of the prevailing sentiments trailing news. In most cases, established crypto news aggregators show whether readers think that an article will have bullish or bearish effects on the prices of cryptocurrencies.

The new orientation in construction of bogies consists in realization possibility "negotiation the radii of curvature", the axes being placed in an approximately radial position. This reduces wear on the wheel and rail surfaces if the stability of the horizontal transverse movements of the vehicle is not affected. In railway motor vehicles, these requirements are achieved by means of rubber elastic elements which by their own damping capacity also contribute to the reduction of axle movement. The paper presents a series of considerations regarding the elastic constants of the springs from the axle steering system.

Micro-loans Helping Solar Power Take Hold in India
Friday, January 6, 2012
In Chemangala, in southern India, silk farmer H.B. Manjunath walks into a back room of a dark thatched roof cabin, flips on a light switch and watches as the cool light illuminates hundreds of milky white silkworms crawling in a wooden box full of mulberry leaves.
The worms need the crispy leaves to survive and spin their silk cocoons, but they'll only do it when there's continuous light. Manjunath said that used to be very hard to come by.
"We had four or five hours of unscheduled power cuts every day," Manjunath said. "Sometimes, we would not have it at all."
But that changed when Manjunath took out a small loan from his local bank to pay for a single solar panel and batteries to store the electricity they generate. The 120-watt system generates enough power to illuminate the silkworms for three hours a day. Manjunath's not worried even if he doesn't have grid power for 24 hours.
"The solar works for us," he said.
Manjunath's bank loan was part of an effort in the southern state of Karnataka to promote affordable solar lighting in rural areas, part of a larger national movement. India's government hopes to boost renewable sources of energy and install 20,000 megawatts of solar generating capacity over the next decade, to help fill a huge power gap in the country.
About 500 million people don't have electricity in the country today. That's nearly half the population. And even places that are hooked to the grid face frequent blackouts.
Dr. Harish Hande, founder of the Bangalore-based solar company SELCO, said the need for energy is urgent, and not just so people can run their businesses or light their homes.
"It's very important from a governance point of view, India's social stability point of view, that we need to provide basic needs," Hande said.
India's economy is booming, but conventional sources of electricity just haven't been able to keep up with the growth in demand in India. That's one reason Hande spent years trying to convince local banks in Karnataka to offer small loans to rural families for renewable energy systems. In recognition of his efforts, Hande recently was awarded the prestigious Magsaysay Award, sometimes called the Asian Nobel prize.
Hande said solar lighting can have a profound emotional impact on the poor.

We had an interesting discussion at the last Boston Media Makers meeting on the topic "Do Production Values Matter?" We set aside 30 minutes for the discussion, and a lively discussion ensued that went on for over an hour. Here's a little video excerpt from the discussion:
Beth Kanter also blogged about, the meeting, and her post also includes a video she made.
If you're interested in exploring this topic further and you live in the Boston area, I'm doing a session called "Champagne Production Values on a Beer Budget" at the 17th Annual Pro Video show on Saturday, March 10th at Stonehill College in Easton, Massachusetts. More info is available in my previous post about the show and the two sessions I'm doing there.
Colophon: I made this video from video fragments shot with a Canon PowerShot S410, digital photos shot with the Canon 10D, and audio recorded with an M-Audio Microtrack 24/96 and a pair of Conference Grabber boundary microphones. The video was edited in Final Cut Pro 5.1.x on a laptop on the train down to New York. I also grabbed some images from Flickr when I had a hole and no material to fill it. I recorded continuous audio, but only shot short video segments. In editing I had to sync up the video shot with the S410 with the audio track. Becuase the S410 records audio, it was easy to sync things up, using he S410's audio as a reference. It's a pain, but since the boundary microphones were closer to the speakers (one at each end of the table) and are also better mics than what the S410 offers, the better audio made it worthwhile to do what is called in the industry, "double system sound," recording image and sound in separate devices.

By Dave Andrusko
I remember rolling my eyes (subconsciously, I didn't want to be rude) whenever people who should know better would tell me that after a year or so of stewing/brooding over her election defeat, Hillary Clinton would just….go away. Really?
If they watched a snippet on CBS from the full interview that will air Sunday, or listened to her speak at NARAL Pro-Choice America's 50th birth celebration Thursday night, they'd see the fire, the resentment, the anger, the entitlement burns as hot today as it did November 8 when Clinton and all her friends in the Monster Media learned Donald Trump had won the election.
(Clinton sycophant Jane Pauley conducted what is described as "a wide-ranging interview with Clinton and her daughter, Chelsea, about their new book." Clinton we're told, "weighs in on talk of impeaching President Trump; the potential of the president's reelection; her loss in the 2016 election; and her life today.")
Judging by the clip, Clinton had practiced her attack dog lines that were part of her speech to NARAL. Here are two tweets from Clinton about the gathering:
Women's rights are human rights, and for 50 years @NARAL has taken on the toughest fights to protect our most fundamental freedoms.— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 26, 2019
Happy anniversary. Let's keep going.
I was honored to close out @NARAL's 50th anniversary celebration last night. The work to defend reproductive rights is more urgent now than ever.https://t.co/hus6czB7wx— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) September 27, 2019
Obviously I wasn't at last night's gala at the Capitol Hilton, but the Huffington Post's Josie Harvey was. We learn….
Pro-abortion Speaker Nancy Pelosi shed some crocodile tears for President and later said she prays for him. Who knew?
Harvey writes
Pelosi also emphasized the right of every woman to reproductive health care, saying, "We have won in the court of public opinion, and now we must continue to win in the court of law."
By packing the Supreme Court? By assassinating the character of nominees you don't approve of?
said the nation had also reached an important crossroads on reproductive freedom.
"In the last Democratic debate, there was not one single question about abortion rights. It has to be a critical issue in 2020."
Maybe the moderators didn't ask because (a) all the contenders are abortion militants, or (b) worried someone might spill the beans and reveal that they endorse abortion on demand through the 40th week (approval of beyond is still under wraps) and want the pockets of the American taxpayer picked to pay for them.
NARAL Pro-Choice America is a still a formidable force, even if its glory days are in the rearview mirror. How appropriate that Hillary Clinton would finish the "celebration."

Like, WTF?
Minnesota passes same-sex marriage
Six months after voters in Minnesota voted to defeat a proposed constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, the state legislature passed legislation providing equal access to civil marriages for gay and lesbian couples. Gov. Mark Dayton signed the bill into law and Minnesota is now the 12th state with marriage equality, and is the third state this month to pass marriage-equality legislation, following Rhode Island and Delaware.
"Minnesota is a perfect example of the progress we've made on marriage equality in America," said Human Rights Campaign President Chad Griffin. "Voters in Minnesota brought anti-equality efforts to a screeching halt on Election Day, and today state leaders in St. Paul made it clear that all Minnesota families are equal in the eyes of the law."
New Zealand passes gay marriage
New Zealand's parliament voted in favor of allowing same-sex marriage, which prompted cheers and the singing of a traditional Maori celebratory song from the public gallery. The bill passed with 77 of 121 members voting in favor of amending the 1955 Marriage Act to allow gay couples to wed. New Zealand is the first country in the Asia-Pacific region to do so.
"Two-thirds of parliament have endorsed marriage equality," said Louisa Wall, a gay opposition Labour party MP who campaigned in favor of the bill. "It shows that we are building on our human rights as a country."
France passes gay marriage
France became the 14th country in the world to permit same-sex nuptials when its parliament voted to legalize marriage equality and adoption by gay couples. Lawmakers in the lower National Assembly, where President Francois Hollande's Socialists have a majority, passed the bill with 331 votes for and 225 against.
Transgender student denied prom crown
A Pennsylvania high school student was denied the opportunity to become prom king when the school's principal said it was "not traditional." Issak Wolf said he put in his ballot to be considered for prom royalty only to learn his birth name was used in the ballot and was rejected to run as prom king. Wolf later said he would like an apology from the school for the mistreatment.
Man arrested at hospital for refusing to leave bedside of sick husband
A Missouri man was arrested after he refused to leave his sick husband's hospital room. Roger Gorley went to visit his husband at Research Medical Center when a member of his husband's family asked him to leave. When Gorley refused, hospital security removed him in handcuffs, and he was later arrested and served with a restraining order.

The Berean - Titus 1:14-16
The Berean - Titus 1:14-16
(14) not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn from the truth. (15) To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. (16) They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work. New King James Version Change your email Bible version
Can a person be a Christian without believing? Can a Christian pick and choose what to believe and what not to believe? Satan has deceived the whole world (Revelation 12:9), and he deceives by subtly promoting disbelief of God's Word. It is so simple. And there it is, brought to our attention right at the very beginning of the Book. It is related so very simply to help us understand a principle that can be the foundation of great understanding and insight.
In Genesis 3, God clearly shows what delineates His people from the world. What Adam and Eve did was lay the foundation of the world. The world as we now see it, with all its cultures and all of its political, educational, economic, business and religious systems, grew or was built following the same general pattern of disbelief in what God said. Our world contains that same general pattern of good and evil—some from God, some from Satan.

Institution: Wofford College
Instructor: Kaye Savage
Description: This course introduces students to the interdisciplinary field of Environmental Studies by examining how human populations affect our planetary environment, and how our planetary environment affects us. In the Environmental Studies program at Wofford, we focus on the complexity of particular issues within this framework, and explicitly recognize that there are many disciplinary perspectives as well as private opinions on any given topic. We group academic perspectives into humanities & arts, social sciences, and natural sciences (a "3-legged stool"), and ask you to think carefully about the different ways of learning, knowing, and communicating embodied in these approaches. We also ask you to skeptically examine the basis for your own opinions, and to respectfully explore differing personal views with one another. The Climate Change unit assignment involves making an artistic work that incorporates climate data, and writing an accompanying artist's statement.
Level: Undergraduate
Timing: Taught every semester (various instructors).
Country: United States

In our examination of political emails involving the re-election of Grayslake School Board members Mary Garcia, president of a Skokie school district's union, and Sue Fackham, we are now about two weeks away from the April 5th election.
Fackham was re-elected, coming in third, while Garcia was not, placing fourth.
Images, remember, can be enlarged by clicking on them.
Earlier collections of emails can be found in Part 1 and Part 2.
That the Lake County State's Attorney is investigating the matter is found here.
Email traffic with Grayslake School District addresses stops showing up about ten days before the election.
The next one–right before the election–is from the office of Republican State Senator Suzi Schmidt.
It conveyed a letter about "alleged ethics violation of Mary Gracia" concerning a March 5th email. It was sent to Northbrook/Glenview Elementary School Distrrict 30 Superintendent Ed Tivador and Board President Jim Beam and members of the Board of Education. District 30 is where Grayslake School Board President Mary Garcia is President of the teachers' union.

I never understand why money magazine, cnbc, fortune, etc., do not call out so-called experts when their stock picks are completely off. I think it would be both entertaining and educational. So when I came across an old Fortune Magazine today and saw the article, 10 Best Stocks for 2011, I wanted to see how the so-called best picks were doing 4 months into the new year.
Fortune provides a reasoning for each stock, but I think that is less important for the post rather than just pure returns, however, as a group Fortune mentions,
Our selections this year are slanted toward commodities…protection against a falling dollar…some contrarian selections, including one house-related stock
Fortune Magazine's Top 10 Stock Picks
- YTD Is up 1.05%
- YTD is up 6.82%
Dow Chemical
- YTD is up 11.04%
East West Bankcorp
- YTD is up 14.02%
Entropic Communications
- YTD down 33%
- To be (kind of) fair the article mentioned this pick as a boom or bust…
- YTD down 2.35%
- YTD is up 5.25%
Royal Caribbean Cruises
- YTD down 13.13%
Royal Dutch Shell
- YTD is up 9.79%
- YTD is up 13.39%
If you were to invest $100 in each of the 10 stocks your portfolio would have been up $12 or 1.2% (not counting fees). Not a great return considering the S&P is up over 6%.
I am not sure 4 months is a fair representation but I will absolutely come back to this post in a couple months to see how the "experts" are doing.

Advanced technology to be more competitive
In today's era of Industry 4.0 and IoT, the food & beverage industry demands increasingly more automated, versatile, interconnected and efficient bottling and packaging solutions, capable of manufacturing large batches of products in the most economical and eco-friendly way.
To achieve these goals, bottlers like Colombia-based Gaseosas Leticia S.A. (Fig. 1), the smallest bottling plant in The Coca-Cola Company's network, decided to invest in high tech machines and installed a SMI's EBS K ERGON, a camfree stretch-blow moulding machine featuring a fully electronic bottlemanufacturing process.
Gaseosas Leticia – as confirmed by the company's CEO Mr. Hauptman Puentes - began its activity 50 years ago with just six employees and a small production of 25 cans of soft drinks per day (around 625 cans per month), while today they sell 2.000 per day (50.000 cans per month).
Over the years, Gaseosa Leticia S.A has evolved constantly. Being part of the Coca-Cola Group has certainly given the company an added value, but there are other factors which are just as important that have allowed this Colombian company to gain a leading position in the region; for example the talent of employees and collaborators and the latest generation technology within the production department.
Fig 1: Gaseosas Leticia, the smallest bottling plant in the Coca-Cola Company's network
Compact preform-heating module
The EBS K ERGON stretch-blow moulding system has an innovative preform-heating module featuring an extremely compact design, allowing it to be integrated into a single machine module along with the stretch-blow moulder carousel (Fig. 2). The module features a horizontal preform feeder chain and an optimized ventilation and aeration system. Moreover, the infrared lamp units, responsible for heating the preforms in transit, are equipped with a system of thermo-reflective panels made of a highly energy-efficient composite material situated both in front of and behind the lamps. This technically advanced solution ensures excellent reflection of the heat generated by the IR lamps, and consequently ensures a more uniform distribution of the heat over the entire surface of the preform. The inside of the module is also equipped with an aluminium diffuser, to provide optimal temperature control and prevent overheating problems. The blow-moulding pressure is automatically regulated according to the bottle format, offering unquestionable advantages compared to the manual adjustment solutions used on the linear stretch blow moulders that SMI's EBS K models compete with.
Fig 2: EBS K ERGON stretch-blow moulding system
A fully "cam-free" stretch-blow moulding process
Another important innovation is the motorization of the mechanical mould unit (Fig. 3), that has turned SMI's EBS ERGON stretch-blow moulders into a real "cam-free" system through its integration with the electronic stretching rod:
- Significant advantages in terms of greater kinematical accuracy, less maintenance, less vibration, less noise and longer life. With only a single servomotor, the new configuration handles both the up & down movements of the bottom of the mould and the opening & closing of the mould-holding unit, greatly reducing mechanical stress and noise, which this machine section is subjected moulder to in the traditional cam-equipped solutions;
- Thanks to this new technology, the dead angle of the stretch-blow moulding carousel shrinks by as much as 10° if compared to the previous generation range, making the structure much more compact;
- The mould-holder's opening/closing movement are optimized according to the effective diameter of the bottles to be produced. Since this leads to a gradual reduction of the opening/closing stroke, the stretchblow moulding cycle is shorter as the container's size decreases;
- A motorized stretch-rod eliminates the need of a pneumatic cam and the related time needed to change it, since the servomotor automatically sets itself according to the production speed.
Fig 3: Blowing wheel
New group of valves
The new group of valves reduces the blowing time (Fig.4), as well as the dead volume by 50%: This spared time can be used to reach higher speeds, to have the bottle cooled down or to get a compromise between the two things.
Fig 4: Blowing Station Pre-blowing time: 80* ms Blowing time: 350-400* ms Dead volume: 0.15 L per cavity (*Production of 1.5 L bottles)
AirMaster air recovery system
Double-stage system for the recovery of high pressure compressed air (Fig. 5) mounted as a standard equipment in all of the EBS K models . This allows to reduce by about 45% high pressure air consumption compared to a standard machine.
The machine's two stage "AirMaster" enables to juxtapose the basic air recovery system with a second plant, in order to recover and recycle a portion of the air of the high pressure blowing circuit. This system ensures a remarkable reduction of the compressed air consumption and of the energy costs. The air recovery system with AirMaster is composed of two systems:
1. The first one allows to recover the air, which is subsequently used for the preblow phase, the LP air network that feeds external units and the service air circuit, has the following traits:
- each stretch-blow moulding station is equipped with three air discharge valves: one of them feeds the recovery system by blowing some air into a tank; the second one discharges the air which cannot be recovered; the third one puts in and takes out air to/ from the PX tank;
- the air recovered is used for the preblow phase, the LP air network that feeds external units and the service air circuit. The operating pressure is controlled by electronic adjusters;
- when the air recovered exceeds the air quantity required by the pre-blowing circuit and by the service air circuit, the air in excess is used to feed the low-pressure line for external units.
2. The second recovery system comes up beside the first one and ensures the saving of further compressed air as it collects a part of the discharged air and uses it exclusively for the blow phase
Fig 5: Air Master Air Recovery System
Easy to use thanks to the MotorNet System® technology
SMI stretch-blow moulders and integrated systems are designed according to Industry 4.0 parameters, fully automatic processes, electronically-controlled operations and wiring by field bus. These are synonyms of reliability, considerable operational flexibility and high performance. Hardware and software components are IoT (Internet of Things) ready, are "open" and modular, comply with the most important international certifications and rely upon consolidated standards of the industrial field and of the packaging sector: OMAC guidelines (Open Modular Architecture Controls), sercos, PROFIBUS, IEC61131, OPC, Industrial PC.
In particular, by following the OMAC guidelines and the Omac Packaging Workgroup (OPW), SMI can guarantee easy integration with the other machines in line, user friendly technology and maintenance of the investment value. The automation and control system of SMI machines, called MotorNet System®, includes the following hardware components: MARTS (process controller), POSYC® (manmachine interface), COSMOS (digital servodriver for brushless motors), dGATE and aGATE (remote IP65 I/O digital/ analogic modules).

NBC's 'This Is Us' Is Filmed Entirely in the Same City
Fans are curious where the hit NBC show 'This Is Us' is filmed, and so it turns out, it's all filmed in one city — get the details!
For the past nearly three years, fans have been captivated by the NBC series This Is Us. The show is filled with love, loss, drama, and more, and it's hard not to feel like you've known the Pearson family for years while you watch it. But since the show's scenes and settings are always all over the place, fans are curious to know: Where is This Is Us filmed? Scroll down for everything we know!
Where is This Is Us filmed?
The show This Is Us is filmed around Los Angeles, Calif., according to IMDB. The site also reports that scenes from the series take place at Stages 31 and 32 at Paramount Studios, which is located at 5555 Melrose Avenue in Hollywood, Los Angeles.
According to Curbed Los Angeles, the show has filmed a bunch of its scenes all over Los Angeles and the surrounding areas, with all of the character's housing in the state as well.
The Pearson family home is allegedly on a quiet street in Eagle Rock, Randall's house is allegedly in Altadena, Calif., Kate's house is allegedly in Los Angeles in Hancock Park, the famous pool they go to as a young family is allegedly in Long Beach, the family cabin is allegedly in Topanga, Calif., and Kevin and Kate's elementary school is allegedly in North Hollywood, among other notable locations.
Where does This Is Us take place?
Even though This Is Us is filmed in California, the show has storylines that take place all over the United States. For example, Kate lives in LA, Kevin lives in New York, and Randall lives in New Jersey.
On top of that, it's said that Jack and Rebecca's family home is in Pittsburgh, so there's a lot of mention of Pittsburgh in the flashback scenes.
Meanwhile, none of the show is filmed on the East Coast even though the show makes you feel like that's where they are the entire time.
How many seasons of This Is Us are there?
The show kicked off its first season in January 2017. There have already been three full seasons of the show, and the series is currently a few episodes into its fourth season.
When is This Is Us on?
If you're a This Is Us fan, your favorite day of the week is Tuesday, because that's when the show airs on NBC. You can catch new episodes of the fourth season on NBC on Tuesday nights at 9 p.m. EST.
How can I watch This Is Us reruns?
To watch reruns of This Is Us, you can head to NBC.com for every episode of all four seasons thus far. You can also catch episodes on Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, YouTube, iTunes, Vudu, and Google Play.
And trust us, you won't be disappointed if you decide to binge-watch the series! It's not too late, either, especially because the show was renewed for three more seasons in May.

TIRANA, July 22
The city of Kruja, besides being a historical and cultural city, is known for centuries in the country as a center of artisan works. The symbol of this development is the Old Bazaar (in Albanian: Pazari i Vjeter). The different works of handloom, copper, wool, silver or other materials make the city of Kruja to draw the attention of local and especially foreign visitors.
Old Bazaar continues to this day attracting many tourists via its 70 shops, where you could see closer the craftwork by the locals, preserving the tradition and inheriting it generation after generation. At the Old Bazaar, you could not avoid encountering on window displays the famous Albanian woolen hat known in local language as qeleshe or plis, which is an old symbol of the Albanian traditional costume.
One of these craftsmen is Adi Guni, a 26-year-old who continues the tradition of sewing this hat in his family. He is the fifth generation in his family to practice this kind of art. He says for A.T.SH. that he started the craft since he was 14 years old. The process of producing the plis is done in an old-fashioned way, without using any machinery, and it is hand-made. He adds that to produce a hat, it has to go through different phases where the tools that he uses are very old.
If you go to his family store in Kruja, you will see the different shapes and styles of plis and opinga (traditional Albanian shoe very similar to moccasins), which show the cultural heritage of Albania. Adi Guni closes by saying that when foreign visitors come to his store, they are stunned by the woolen hats and shoes that are sewn in the old traditional way, and even more they are all hand-made.

Is the end of discretionaty trusts?
The recent decision by Justice French[1] (Western Australian Federal Court) as part of the ongoing litigation over the collapse of the West Point Group has raised the need to reanalyse:
1. the structure of and set up of discretionary trusts;
2. the wording of the trust deeds; and
3. the roles and identity of trustee, directors, shareholders, appointors and default beneficiaries.
In that decision, Justice French found that because a trustee was effectively the "alter ego" of a relevant beneficiary or otherwise subject to his or its effective control, the beneficiary has at least a contingent interest within the meaning of that term as used in the definition of "property" in Section 9 of the Corporations Act 2001.
The definition of "property" includes "any legal or equitable estate or interest whether .vested or contingent." This is not dissimilar to the definition of "property" in the Bankruptcy Act 1966.
As a consequence French J extended the receivership of a director's personal property to the assets of a discretionary trust of which that person was a beneficiary or a member of a class of beneficiaries of a trust.
Essentially this is the first time (outside of a family law dispute) that a beneficiary's interest in a discretionary trust has been equated to a form of property. Previously, a beneficiary's interest in such a trust was considered a mere expectancy and was not considered sufficient to create any proprietary interest in that trust.
The breadth of the decision and its impact on discretionary trusts as an effective vehicle for asset protection is potentially extremely wide and serious.
Great care needs to be taken in the establishment of discretionary trusts, as to who is appointed to key roles (trustee, director, appointor and beneficiary). It is equally important that the trust is administered and operated in an appropriate manner after it is established.
We have, as a consequence of the decision, developed a detailed checklist for:
1. review and analysis of existing trust structures and set ups to identify risk;
2. for the establishment of new trusts,
particularly in circumstances where a party could be or is a "person at risk" and may be somehow involved with the discretionary trust.
We highly recommend a very careful review of your existing trust structure. It is also vitally important you take account of these factors in the establishment of any new trust so as to limit the exposure of the assets of those trusts to bankruptcy or insolvency administration.

At MCN, we are committed to providing programming that helps to educate community members about their rights and empower them in addressing issues they are facing. As a result of this workshop, students reported feeling equipped with the skills they need to defend themselves should a harmful situation arise.

So there's a new study making the rounds showing that there are natural weight fluctuations for people and that we tend to be higher on the weekends and lower during the week. The study notes that people tend to eat more on the weekends and their weight goes up, but if they eat healthy during the week, it has no long term effect on weight loss if you choose to have some over-eating on the weekend.
First off, this study was INCREDIBLY tiny. I think the sample size was less then 30 people. But I do agree that having a treat once and a while is not going to derail your weight loss efforts if you otherwise eat healthy.
What are some nuances to this? Well, you have to know yourself and your body. First off, if you are a total sugar addict, you probably don't want to scarf down a couple of brownies on Saturday if it's going to make you crave sweets for several days. But if you are the type of person that can have something sweet and get right back on track, then go for it.
In some people, having a sweet treat actually can PREVENT out of control cravings that can lead to a binge.
However, while you are actively losing, if you choose to have a cheat day or 2, it WILL slow down your weight loss. There's nothing wrong with that - this is not a race. But you can't get discouraged if you have some high calorie cheat meals and then you don't lose 3 pounds this week. But if you don't mind a slow weight loss - especially if it does keep you from going off the rails in the future, it can be beneficial.
If you are maintaining like me, or getting close to maintenance, you will learn that you don't have to be 100% on plan every day. I always eat more on the weekends, and it doesn't effect my weight stability as long as starting Monday, I get right back on track.
So let's not beat ourselves up when we eat a big ass cookie tonight, ok?

The San Jacinto Masons provided gifts and food for needy families of students attending Megan Cope Elementary School in San Jacinto. (CONTRIBUTED IMAGE)
The San Jacinto Masons has always donated time, resources and financial assistance to local schools as a way to help young people succeed.
Programs such as Raise a Reader, Teacher of the Year, Constitutional Observance and scholarships have become regular events at local schools thanks to the group. This year the Masons helped sponsor a student of the month program.
In 2010, the administrators at Megan Cope Elementary School in San Jacinto, asked the fraternal organization to do a cornerstone for the new school.
"Master of the Lodge, Jim Ridley, and the Masonic family came together to make it happen," said Michael J. Sekera, School Advisory Board/Grand Lodge of California and Senior Warden of San Jacinto Masonic Lodge No. 338. "We adopted (the school) since the laying of the cornerstone, meaning we help them with school supplies they need for the year."
A relationship between the San Jacinto Masons and Megan Cope Elementary School has been very successful. Those involved with this year's Christmas Cheer program included from left, Megan Cope Elementary health clerk, Beth Johnson; Supervisor Abeer Sekera; San Jacinto Masonic Lodge representative Michael Sekera; school principal Ken Swanson and assistant principal, Lauren Armijo. (CONTRIBUTED IMAGE)
For the past two years, the group has helped four needy families from the school as part of its Christmas Cheer program. The group raised $2,000 and purchased gifts and food.
Abeer Sekera said she enjoyed shopping from the provided wish lists knowing that each person would receive a gift they really wanted.
"Meeting these families was great – the expression on their faces of joy was so rewarding," Michael Sekera said. "It was very emotional to hear their stories and how thankful they were to the Masons for helping them out."
The Masons have been involved with schools since the 1600s, even starting school systems in many states. The first superintendent of schools in California was a Mason, according to information provided by Sekera.
In the past two years about $75,000 has been donated to the San Jacinto area from the Grand Lodge of California and the San Jacinto Masons. Sekera said there are about 200 Masonic members in the San Jacinto Valley.
"It is very important that people in our communities realize that people do care and that someone out there is trying to make a difference," Sekera said. "I, myself, feel very humble when having the opportunity to see firsthand these people receiving help."
Information, www.sanjacintomasons.org.
In April Mike Sekera, from San Jacinto Lodge, along with Dr. Shari Fox, Superintendent of the San Jacinto School District, accompanied representatives from the Raising A Reader program to the Edward Hyatt Elementary School in San Jacinto. While visiting the Kindergarten class he was asked to read to the students. The book that the students chose was "Read and Rise".
The class also presented to Brother Sekera a collection of pictures and thank you notes, made by the students, thanking the Masons for the Raising A Reader Program that they are participating in. The pictures were given to the Grand Lodge representatives at the Public Schools Kick Off event on April 12, 2013, that was held at their school.
Mike was very moved by his experience with the children and agrees with the philosophy of the Raising A Reader program, "Reading is the foundation for all other learning. Not only do readers achieve better in school, they also become lifelong learners."

Rumor has it that Batali's Mozza's is slowly creeping towards opening day: there's now signage on one side. Not a huge leap forward, but progress is progress. As one of our readers writes:
I know you hate it when there are no pics to go with a news item (driving and taking pics with my cell is not exactly a safe driving tactic, despite its popularity...) but I did spot an outgrowth and fresh coat of paint on the Highland side of Batali/Silverton enterprise: Mozza in yellow on a burnt orange/saffron colored awning. Craft paper and tape still up on the windows around the Melrose entrance. I pass it each morning, so will try to get a pic.Please do, because we're tired of throwing up Batali's crazy Fonzie impression every time we mention Mozza. First reader to get a pic, gets a free pizza. No, not really, but you do receive our deepest gratitude and your name in pixels. Isn't that enough?

Horticulture is poised at an exciting moment in history. Since the first domestic crop was cultivated, farmers, backyard enthusiasts, and horticultural hobbyists have traded plants through traditional means such as nurseries, wholesale suppliers, open auction, public markets, and hand to hand exchanges. Sometime in the 1990's agriculture arrived at a juncture called the internet and markets fractured. Every aspect of the horticultural industry followed a path, including hobbyists who found their way to online nurseries in droves. The 1990's were a heyday for any nursery with a good budget. Trading occurred at a faster pace and appealed to a wider audience than ever was possible by any single enthusiast. The days of waiting for specialty items all but disappeared due to a new marketplace; the internet auction. For the next 10 years cyber-auctions dominated. The fast-paced trading was now occurring at hyper-speed in a global market. More and better varieties coupled with resources for smarter growing equaled huge profits. And that was the beginning of the end.
Large, unregulated profits will attract any number of hosts in any industry and horticultural hobbyists are not exempt. Droves of hustlers flooded the larger marketplaces with fake and low-quality products leaving thousands of victims in their wake. The bad guys penetrated every form of the horticultural hobby and the formerly safe spaces to trade were now a minefield for everyone. And there were no penalties. The bad guys were, and still comfortably exist today without fear of intervention. The first to recognize the problem and offer a safe space for fig enthusiasts was Danny Gentile, who launched figBid.com in 2017. figBid.com quickly gained support and today stands as the largest and safest marketplace for fig material in the United States. But the success of figBid didn't stop there. Shortly after conception a new, broader idea was developed; a similar, safe marketplace encompassing virtually every legal form of plant material collected and traded in the US today. figBid had already cleared a path to success and the missing pieces consisted of a bit of expertise.
Hello BidNGrow.com.
Danny discovered the tools for servicing a larger, much broader audience in the form of a team of fig enthusiasts with additional gardening interests. The pair already understood the hobby, the market, and have an added bonus of internet auction proficiency with the development and implementation of their own niche business edcbid.com. So a months-long brainstorm began. Using figBid's framework and core-values as the foundation and building blocks, a new super-site was born, BidNGrow.com. Bidngrow.com became the collaboration that unites decades of industry-specific expertise and the knowledge gained by the success of figBid.com with horticultural hobbyists. And we knocked it out of the park!
We know it's difficult enough for any internet auction site to police any one specific category of sales let alone hundreds or even thousands. Can any website really address personal concerns when shoes, toys, cars, antiques, real estate, clothing and thousands of other items are traded daily on its website? The answer is NO; It's an impossible task for a huge open market. We pared it down. No advertising, no fluff, no baloney. The feeling you get when first logging into BidNGrow is safety. It's an immediate homey feel, like help is around the corner if needed. Just like figBid, Bidngrow.com is a category specific auction website built for home-grow enthusiasts and small businesses. Bidngrow.com does not follow marketplace trends or cater to large groups of buyers and sellers. There is a bottom line but Bidngrow.com is concerned with the individual and dedicated to joining quality buyers, sellers and traders of all things green, except figs. More importantly, Bidngrow.com is available to address members on a personal level, effectively police itself and keep out the dishonest people.
The bad guys will never be out of the hobby completely, but the bad guys will NEVER be allowed to operate on BidNGrow.
Meet the team.
Danny - Danny brings 21 years of professional Law Enforcement experience, 23 years of experience in the internet auction marketplace, and 2 years of lessons learned from successfully operating figBid.com. Danny's experience in fraud detection and prevention helps to keep everyone on the site safe. "Crooks stand out like a sore thumb." The bad guys don't stand a chance!
Matt - Matt's 15 years in the IT industry, managing and designing software for major corporations across the country , helps keep the machine running smoothly. "Operating an internet auction site is like running a thousand different retail sites at once, every single day of the week." It's a challenge most Product Managers will never get to experience. Matt also brings his experience with edcbid.com and servicing a 'larger ticket' audience.
Justin - Justin brings 22 years of owning and managing several successful small businesses. He's a seasoned entrepreneur and well-rounded individual with a solid background in management, manufacturing, sales, and procurement. Justins skills have earned him a reputation as disciplined businessperson and industry leader. Justin has coupled his skills with the edcbid.com and brings that additional experience over to BidNGrow.com.
