Dewey LeBoeuf
Dewey LeBoeuf might not be the worst of the bankruptcy bunch. Arguably, there are other BigLaw firms getting rich whilst frolicking upon the playing fields of our corrupt bankruptcy legal-industrial complex whose immorality, illegality, or bone headed flagrancy exceeds these days of Dewey's Distressful Dookie. Even thus speaking as the Devil's advocate, no person can deny that Dewey LeBoeuf today is quite the assembly of bankruptcy lawyers, indeed.

Thank you readers of BankruptcyMisconduct for your warm wishes, we apologize for our time away. Here is a treat for you, our way of saying thanks.
This document Dewey_LeBoeuf_Bunsow_Complaint.pdf is the actual lawsuit by the well known litigator Henry Bunsow against specifically named former managing partners of the bankrupt law firm Dewey LeBoeuf. The Defendants include Steven H. Davis, Jeffrey L. Kessler, Joel I. Sanders, Stephen DiCarmine, James R. Woods, and up to 200 unnamed persons.
From our reading, the clear allegations of fraud and such crime is enough to trigger all sorts of criminal and ethical referrals. Wethinks there will be many third parties for BankruptcyMisconduct to track as to their own obligations under the ABA model code rule Maintaining The Integrity Of The Profession Rule 8.3 Reporting Professional Misconduct. How will all of the lawyers witnessing this airing of embarrassing laundry explain their own failures to report the misconduct?
Oh, did we just telegraph something?
Dewey Crime Ring Private Placement Mushroomhot! 05/11/2012 Hits: 3525
Hey Gang,
Do we feel a new page coming on? Yeah, Baby!
As Dewey LeBoeuf seems to be revealing itself as having operated as a criminal enterprise, the moiety forming the cover up will likely be first to splash the Zeitgeist. How ironic that a law firm would take part in developing a private placement memorandum which willfully and knowingly hid extremely important "guarantee" details. We believe it is called "Fraud". We also think that it will be very, very difficult for the underwriters to escape RICO consequences, unless they run to a DA and cut a deal.
Assuming al arguendo that a prosecutor tees up Dewey LeBoeuf, let's put ourselves in her shoes for a moment. First, she may be a little upset at having had her precious little derriere backed down into a corner. Right? I mean what prosecutor would break the first rule from the Planet Of The Apes and actually bring charges against another ape? Well take a step back. Which of you believed any of the predictions of BankruptcyMisconduct concerning Dewey LeBoeuf, like our prescient point about brother attorneys in the firm ratting out their own former management? OK, you should be ready to have an open mind now.
And thus, J.P. Morgan is in play. What will J.P.Morgan claim? "We asked them if there were any problems or hidden stuff under the rug and they said there is was none", or something like that. It doesn't really matter, because at least one party was a crook, and perhaps they both conspired.
The funny thing is that these lawyers just don't get it. They are soooo used to lying under oath in their affidavits of disinterestedness, and getting away with when caught, that they just couldn't conceive of getting jail time for lying in a private placement memorandum.

Nothing Is Definitivehot! 04/23/2012 Hits: 3659
BankruptcyMisconduct is not 100% sure how candid The Gang Of Four and the Chairman intended to be on this memo. According to the Wall Street Journal, the following memo was sent to all employees at Dewey LeBoeuf. We wonder if the phrase "nothing definitive" was intended to include things like "future paychecks", whether the office doors will be padlocked in a few days, and whether the firm intends to go lawsuit crazy on its own former partners.

Inter will enter the match off the back of a 2-2 draw against Parma in Serie. Antonio Conte's side will now face arguably their toughest fixture in the Champions League.
Inter will travel to Spain to take on Real Madrid, at the Alfredo Di Stefano stadium.
Inter missed multiple chances of picking up full points from their first two matches. They were held to a 2-2 draw by Gladbach and a goalless draw against Shakhtar last week.
Real Madrid hasn't had a fruitful campaign so far either. They sit at the bottom of the group with 1 point.
Statistics & Encounters
Inter have only won two of their last 12 Champions League matches, suffering five defeats, while their last two campaigns in this competition have ended in the group stage.
Inter's top scorer Romelu Lukaku with 5 goals might not make the trip to Spain which will further hinder their chances against Real Madrid.
Romelu suffered a muscular thigh injury.
The last time Inter faced Real Madrid in any European competition was the group stage of the 1998-99 Champions League. Inter were the 3-1 winners on home soil, having suffered a 2-0 defeat in the reverse match at the Bernabeu.
Suspensions and Team News
Lautaro Martinez is certain to start in the final third of the field, where he could be joined by Alexis Sanchez.
Milan Skriniar has recovered from COVID-19 and will be available for the encounter.
Stefano Sensi will remain doubtful for the fixture and Matias Vecino remains in rehab.
Real Madrid will be without the services of Nacho, Martin Odegaard, and Dani Carvajal through injury, while Alvaro Odriozola remains a doubt due to a calf problem.
Probable Line-Ups
Inter (3-4-1-2): Handanovic, D'Ambrosio, De Vrij, Bastoni, Hakimi, Brozovic, Vidal, Young, Barella, Lautaro, Sanchez
Real Madrid (4-3-3) Courtois, Marcelo, Ramos, Varane, Mendy, Kroos, Casemiro, Valverde, Hazard, Benzema, Viniscus Jr.
Inter: 1
Real Madrid: 1
Both teams will look to record their first Champions League wins of the season. Lukaku's expected absence is a big blow for Inter, but defensive solidity will keep Inter in the game.

Previous Post: Address embed chapter
- Basic chapter: sending an email with a fixed mail body to a fixed address
- Mail body chapter: changing the mail body of an email using embedded commands
- Address embed chapter: changing the address of an email using embedded commands
- HTML Email chapter: sending an HTML email
- Non-delivery response chapter: troubleshooting when an email has not arrived
With Questetra BPM Suite Version 13.1, it is now possible to send an HTML email using the Throwing Message Intermediate Event (email).
What is HTML Email?
HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language, and in simple terms it is a computer language used for making Web pages.
HTML email can be thought of as a form of email that takes advantage of HTML features in the email body to enable visual representations, document structures, and so on.
Specifically, elements enclosed in < and > (called a tag) are written in the character string, and reflect the function of those elements to be displayed.
Below is an example character string.
It's a Title
The body appears like this
You can highlight partially
I will insert some tags into it.

It's a Title

The body appears like this.

You can highlight partially

When it is displayed, it will appear as follows.
As you can see, the written tags themselves do not appear but affect the area where each function is specified.
By the way, the types and functions of tags are so diverse that they will not be covered in this article. Please search the Internet for detailed explanations.
Body (HTML) Settings
We are going to set up an HTML email sending Step using the workflow app that has only a Confirmation Step and an email sending step, like you created in Let's Send an Email Automatically in the Middle of a Workflow (Basic)). Add the following items as the Data Items.
|Data Item Name
|Field Name
|Confirm Step
|Title to insert
|String-type (single line)
|Character string to be embedded the Title
|Title color
|String-type (single line)
|Specify in hexadecimal
|Text to insert
|String-type (multiple lines)
|The texts underneath the title
Open the property screen of the Send Step, the Throwing Message Intermediate Event (email), and in the setting field of [Body (HTML)] paste the aforementioned character string with the tags.

It's a Title

The body appears like this.

You can highlight partially

In the pasted character string, replace the "It's a Title" part in between
 and
 with the expression to embed the "Title to insert" using the Insert reference…
Similarly, replace the part in between
 and
 with "Text to insert". In addition, add codes that specify the character color in
 as follows.

Replace "XXX" with "Title color" as described above. If you proceed to this point, the character string set in [Body (HTML)] should be as follows.

#{#q_Title}

After that, set an address for testing in [To] and the Data Item "Title" in [Subject] and close the settings screen.
Now, let's test sending an email. Run the [Debug Execution] and enter the following in each Data Item on the Operation screen of the Confirm Step.
- Title: Test
- Title to insert: It's a Title
- Title color:#1ce61c
- Text to insert:
The body appears like this.
 You can highlight partially

Once you have entered the information and finished the Confirmation Step, an email will be delivered to the specified address.
- The value entered in the Data Item Text to insert is recognized as HTML codes
- Appearing line breaks in the input field are ignored
- You need to insert
 where you want the line break, as in the input example
- When you write symbols called special characters (such as< > & " and consecutive half-width spaces) in a sentence, you need to replace them with the format for displaying them (HTML escape)
- For example, type & lt; HTML & gt; to display
- The value to be entered in "Title text color" is a 6-digit hexadecimal number starting with #
- If you Google search, for example, '#123456', the color picker tool will be displayed with which you can get the value of the color of your choice
Combining HTML with Plain Text
There are two setting items on the Throwing Message Intermediate Event (email) settings screen: [Body (Plain Text)] and [Body (HTML)].
Body (Plain Text)
Used when sending a plain text email. The characters and symbols you enter will be displayed in the body of the email as they appear in the settings field. Line breaks, etc. will be displayed as they are, and you cannot change the size or color of the characters.
Body (HTML)
Used when sending HTML emails. The characters and symbols you enter are recognized as HTML sources. By inserting tags, you can add various decorations such as character color, font specification, and column structure.
How an HTML email is displayed on the receiving side may differ depending on the email software, smartphone app, or webmail service (Gmail, etc.) that displays the email. This is because the displaying software, etc. supports the HTML standard differently. Also, HTML email cannot be displayed on email clients that do not support HTML email.
Therefore, when using HTML email, it is desirable to write HTML codes that assume the environment of the receiving side. Also, assuming an email client that does not support HTML mail, it is recommended to set not only [Body (HTML)] but also [Body (plain text)]. If both are set, the received email client will display it properly.
- When both [Body (HTML)] and [Body (plain text)] is set, the email will be sent with its content-Type as multipart/alternative.
Creating HTML source
1. Handwrite the source
First, let's create a simple document email for the purpose of understanding HTML.
Let's open your text editor and start writing…I don't think so, it's too hard. So let's use tools for it. Go searching for "online HTML editor" on the internet and find an appropriate online editor to use.
On the document creation screen, create a document in the same way as Microsoft Word or other word processors. When you are done, use the "View / Download / Copy HTML Source (Code)" menu to get the HTML source code.
You paste the obtained code as it is in [Body (HTML)] of a [Throwing Message Intermediate Event (email)], to send it as an HTML email.
2. Utilizing a Template
Sophisticated HTML emails, such as those sent to you for advertising emails, have fairly advanced HTML coding. To design such source code from scratch you will require specialized knowledge and skills.
So let's use a template available on the internet. Go searching for "HTML email template" and get an appropriate template. If the site that provides the template has an editing function, use it to complete your HTML email source code. When you get the completed source code, set it in [Body (HTML)].
Utilizing String-type multiple-lines
When setting the Throwing Message Intermediate Event (email), there is a limit of 100,000 characters including the To, Cc, Bcc, Subject, and Body. Since an HTML email has a large number of characters, it is better to set the HTML source in a String-type multiple-lines Data Item and embed it in the body (HTML).
Prepare a String-type multiple lines Data Item and insert an expression that refers to the Data Item in [Body (HTML)] of the [Throwing Message Intermediate Event (email)]. Enter the completed source code to the String-type Data Item while Operating the Step.
Utilizing Update Data
You can automate inputting to String-type Data Items by using a [Update Data]. Select the String-type Data Item in [Data Item] and set the obtained source code in [Value or Expression].
Also, It is also possible to rewrite the contents of the outgoing email that will be sent for each Process. Prepare the necessary Data Items and insert an expression that refers to those Data Items in the appropriate place of the source code set in [Update Data]. With this, the emails to be sent will be composed with the values entered into the Data Items.
- You can use the following functions in the Update Data to automatically correct the value entered in String-type multiple-lines
- HTML escape
- e.g. #{#escaper.escapeHtml(#q_string1)}
- Line break
- e.g. #{#joiner.splitJoin(#q_string2, '
')}
- HTML escape
3. Utilizing Add-ons (Professional)
If your Questetra BPM Suite is Professional edition, you can install and use the add-on [Email-HTML String, Create SimpleNotice] to automatically generate an HTML source.
- Email-HTML String, Create SimpleNotice
Prepare Data Items for data insertion, such as Magazine Title, summary text, link button display text, publisher name, etc., and a Data Item to store the completed HTML source. Set the reference expression on the add-on settings screen respectively.
The HTML email sent will look like this:

As healthcare costs rise, health care sharing ministries (HCSMs) are getting a lot of attention—not all of it good—as an alternative to traditional health insurance. Open to people who share religious or ethical beliefs, they aren't insurance companies. Rather, they seek to help members share and reduce healthcare costs.?
Key Takeaways
- Health care sharing ministries (HCSMs) are cost-sharing organizations, not insurance companies, and are intended to help cut medical costs for members.
- Membership is open to people who share religious or ethical beliefs, typically Christian.
- HCSMs are controversial: They aren't required to cover or pay medical care costs or to follow Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandates.
How Health Care Sharing Ministries Work
Health care sharing ministries (HCSMs) are membership groups whose members share religious or ethical beliefs and pay monthly dues that are, in turn, used to pay the medical costs for other members. Essentially, members make monthly payments similar to premiums, and those funds are used to pay medical expenses for others in the ministry.?
Health Care Sharing Ministries vs. Traditional Health Insurance
On the surface, HCSMs may look like insurers. Members pay monthly for coverage, must meet a predetermined amount before receiving benefits, and may be required to see in-network medical providers. HCSM members may also receive assistance paying for medical expenses. However, key differences exist that should be understood and considered before choosing this option.
Unlike health insurers, HCSMs aren't legally bound to pay claims according to terms to which parties have agreed to follow. HCSMs don't have to follow the same coverage requirements as Affordable Care Act (ACA)-compliant health plans. Because HCSMs aren't providing insurance, they don't have to comply with ACA mandates. For instance, they don't have to cover preexisting conditions, preventive care, reproductive care such as birth control, or services for substance use disorders.
HCSMs can require members to follow specific lifestyle requirements to receive assistance with medical costs
For instance, you must not use tobacco and must limit alcohol intake and engage in sexual relations only with your spouse (as defined by the HCSM). In addition, you may be prohibited from participating in high-risk activities such as rock climbing, skydiving, and bungee jumping.
HCSMs aren't regulated by state insurance agencies or federal entities
Because oversight of HCSMs doesn't exist, members are unable to turn to their state insurance commissioner if they have a dispute over an unpaid medical bill. However, some HCSMs have appeals processes in place if a medical expense is denied for payment (or sharing).
Benefits of Health Care Sharing Ministries
Although HCSMs aren't insurance companies and don't provide the same coverage as traditional medical insurance, they may have advantages for some people.
Monthly HCSM payments may be lower than traditional medical insurance premiums
Because you're not paying for traditional medical insurance—which requires coverage for things like preventive care, preexisting conditions and reproductive care—a monthly HCSM payment (or share amount) is usually less than a monthly insurance premium. Still, under the ACA, many families qualify for healthcare subsidies.
HCSMs don't have individual and/or family deductibles
Traditional health insurance plans include a deductible that must be paid out of pocket before medical benefits are paid out. With an HCSM, you pay what's called an annual unshared amount. This is the out-of-pocket amount that you agree to pay for eligible medical expenses before your medical bills are "shared" for payment.
The annual unshared amount, which resets each year, is typically lower than a traditional health plan deductible. For instance, with Solidarity HealthShare, the annual unshared amount is $750 for an individual, $1,500 for a couple, and $2,500 for a family.
Members might receive assistance on medical bills even if they aren't?eligible for premium subsidies through the ACA Marketplace
Although you still would need to pay for your own preventive care plus your annual unshared amount, you might receive assistance from an HCSM to cover any major medical expenses due to illness or injury.
Example of Health Care Sharing Ministries
As of 2021 107 HCSMs have been certified by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. One example is Medi-Share, which is a nonprofit HCSM of Christian Care Ministry Inc. If you are a member with a $3,000 annual household portion (AHP), or annual unshared amount, you would pay your medical bills out of pocket until you reach $3,000. That's when your benefit kicks in.
It's important to note that only eligible medical bills as defined by the HCSM apply to the AHP. For instance, if you see your doctor for preventive care, that bill doesn't count against your AHP. However, if you get sick and see your doctor, that bill is eligible and would apply to your AHP amount. Once you meet your AHP, all eligible medical bills are submitted for sharing and payment.
Another example is Solidarity HealthShare, which covers some preventive care. Like Medi-Share, you pay an annual unshared amount before eligible medical expenses are shared for payment. However, one wellness exam per year is eligible for sharing, which might include certain screening labs (such as hemoglobin A1c or lipids) and services such as mammograms and colonoscopies.
What are health care sharing ministries (HCSMs)?
Health care sharing ministries (HCSMs) are groups whose members share religious or ethical beliefs and contribute a monthly amount that is, in turn, used to pay for the medical costs of other members. They aren't insurance companies and don't provide health insurance in any form.
What are the pros and cons of HCSMs?
HCSMs may provide an affordable way to receive assistance with paying your medical bills. Typically, the monthly share amount as well as the annual unshared amount (similar to a deductible) are less than the premiums and deductibles of traditional health insurance coverage. Because HCSMs aren't providing insurance, they don't have to comply with Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandates. For instance, they don't have to cover preexisting conditions, preventive care, reproductive care such as birth control, or services for substance use disorders.
How much do HCSMs cost?
The amount that you pay to join an HCSM program or plan depends on your household size, age, marital status, where you live, annual unshared amount, and the program or plan that you join. Typically, the costs are lower than those for traditional health insurance, although for the lower price, members probably won't be covered for everything paid for by traditional insurance.
The Bottom Line
If you are considering an HCSM, it's important to shop around to see which medical services are covered and which aren't, what your annual unshared amount would be, and how much the HCSM charges for administrative, application, program, and other fees. In addition, you should review the HCSM's membership requirements to see if these are terms to which you are willing to agree to join. Failure to adhere to these terms could result in a denied application or membership cancellation.

Instant health information via SMS
don't 4get ur pills: Text Messaging for Health is an article in today's Wall Street Journal (the online link is behind the cash wall but won't be for long according to Murdoch), which presents several public health projects in various parts of the world that use SMS texting for relaying timely health information:
In England, women have received text reminders to take their birth-control pills. In Australia, texting helped AIDS patients adhere to complicated drug regimens. And German researchers are examining how text messages can offer psychological support to bulimics. A recent study in New Zealand found that smoking-cessation programs were more effective in conjunction with supportive text messages.
The article quotes Jonathan Linkous, executive director of the American Telemedicine Association about this phenomenon. His says that they're developing guidelines for the appropriate use of SMS for discussing health issues. Revealing a diagnosis, such as cancer, would be forbidden.
Here're some American companies with their spin on the concept:
Intelecare Compliance Solutions Inc, based in New Haven, Conn.,can provide to clients a service "that sends text, email or voice-mail messages reminding users to take their pills, refill prescriptions, get to appointments or check vital signs." [Do you have a pulse? Are your breathing?]
Utah-based Smile Reminder allows dentists, spas and other professionals to remind their clients of appointments, or just a way to keep in touch. This could cross the line in being spam instead of wanted information. I wonder how they strike this balance, especially when you have a per message SMS cost from your carrier?
FishPhone lets you "send a text to the number 30644 with the message "FISH" and the species, and then get back a message." It's just a flat file database on different species of fish, and the current thinking about the food safety issues.
The article does mention a study that suggest that the elderly wouldn't benefit from this new technology "according to a 2006 report from Vodafone Group PLC, the British mobile-phone provider."
The are several qualms I might have about such services besides the spam issue. Do you know who is texting you, and what their qualifications are, or whether they know the right information about you? Are they liable if they have you inject a dose of insulin that's wrong?
Will such services put patients in a more passive role as to monitoring their own health? Would it be possible to determine whether a person should go to the ER through an SMS communication loop?
Is this all part of the effort to commoditize healthcare communication?

It\'s known to impart feelings of increased energy, pleasure, emotional warmth, and distorted sensory and time perception. Buy Ecstasy (MDMA Molly XTC E X Beans Adams) online.
The chemical name for ecstasy is 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA). It is a derivative of amphetamine and has a similar structure to methamphetamine (\"meth\").
Some of the most colorful slang terms used for ecstasy (MDMA), based on the name of the drug, effects, and appearance, include:

Beans for sale online,
Buy Candy drug online.
Buy Clarity drug online.
Buy E online

While ecstasy was initially used primarily in nightclubs and raves, its use has now spread to a wider range of populations.
Ecstasy (MDMA): Everything You've Been Afraid to Ask
Signs of Ecstasy Use
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, MDMA causes a range of effects including:
- Anxiety
- Attention problems
- Confusion
- Decreased libido
- Depression
- Impulsiveness
- Insomnia
- Irritability
- Memory problems
- Reduced appetite
The effects of MDMA typically last for three to six hours.
How Long MDMA Stays in Your System
Types of Ecstasy (MDMA, Molly, XTC, E, X, Beans, Adams)
Ecstasy is usually taken in tablet or capsule form, but it can also be swallowed as a liquid or snorted as a powder.1
- Tablets: Ecstasy typically comes in a tablet form that\'s often imprinted with graphic designs or commercial logos.
- Powder: Ecstasy known by the popular nickname Molly (which is slang for \"molecular\") is often used for the supposedly \"pure\" crystalline powder form of MDMA. However, Molly is often combined with other substances like synthetic cathinone (bath salts), according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
Unlike other recreational drugs such as cocaine and nicotine, which are derived from plants, ecstasy is synthesized by altering the structure of the amphetamine molecule. Because of the way it\'s made, its purity can vary substantially, and other compounds can be easily combined into the same tablet. Ecstasy additives and contaminants often include methamphetamine, caffeine, ephedrine, and ketamine.
Would You Know an Ecstasy Pill If You Saw One?
Uses Ecstasy (MDMA, Molly, XTC, E, X, Beans, Adams)
Though known today mainly as a recreational drug, ecstasy has also been used off-label in medical contexts. Ecstasy was briefly explored as a therapeutic drug, as some psychotherapists believed it opened people up and enhanced their potential for empathy and understanding of one another.1
This use was interrupted by the criminalization of MDMA. The view that ecstasy can reliably enhance the therapeutic process has now fallen out of favor in the psychotherapeutic community.
Ecstasy was classified as a Schedule I drug in 1985, which means that the substance has a high potential for abuse and is not used to treat medical conditions.2
Impact of Ecstasy (MDMA, Molly, XTC, E, X, Beans, Adams)
Ecstasy works by influencing the activity of three chemicals in the brain: dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. These chemicals play a role in a number of different functions in the body including energy levels, mood, emotions, and sleep.
The immediate impact of ecstasy begins within about 45 minutes of taking a dose. People typically experience an increased sense of well-being and emotional warmth. Other effects include feeling greater empathy toward others and enhanced sensory perception.
The Effects of Ecstasy (MDMA) on the Brain
Risks Ecstasy (MDMA, Molly, XTC, E, X, Beans, Adams)
While people use ecstasy experience these increased feelings of euphoria and alertness, taking the drug also has a number of adverse impacts including:3
- Disorganized thoughts
- Feelings of detachment
- Increased anxiety
- Increased heart rate
- Irritability
- Nausea
- Poor appetite
- Sweating and hot flashes
Overdose is rare but can be life-threatening. Ecstasy overdose symptoms can include faintness, panic attacks or extreme anxiety, high blood pressure, and seizures. When ecstasy use is followed by vigorous physical activity, it can lead to a potentially dangerous rise in body temperature known as hyperthermia.3
Another significant danger is the fact that people who take ecstasy don\'t really know what they are actually ingesting. In one study, researchers found that only 60% of samples tested contained any MDMA at all and many were mixed with so-called \"fake cocaine.\" In nearly 25% of the samples, the researchers were unable to identify what was actually in the tablets.4
History of Ecstasy
MDMA was initially developed in 1912 as a pharmaceutical compound that could be used in the preparation of other pharmaceuticals, and it was patented in 1914. But once the drug\'s hallucinogenic properties were discovered, further development was stopped for several decades.
Ecstasy was one of several drugs tested in a military context decades after. It was then re-synthesized, first by Gordon Alles, then by Alexander Shulgin, who tested it on himself, his wife, and his friends. Shulgin went on to develop a range of new compounds, with varying effects and risks, including MDMA and PMMA (paramethoxymethamphetamine), many of which ended up as versions of street ecstasy. It was many years after this that MDMA eventually appeared on the streets as a recreational drug.
An earlier version of ecstasy, MDMA became popular as a recreational drug during the 1960s and 1970s. In the 1980s, MDMA became fashionable as a party drug in the nightclub and rave scene and its use grew among college students, \"yuppies,\" and in the gay community.
However, due to concerns about the health risks associated with ecstasy, it was made illegal in the United Kingdom in 1977, way ahead of its popularity in that country. It was made illegal in the United States in 1985, at which time it was classified by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) as a Schedule I drug, according to the Controlled Substances Act.
For a few years, in an attempt to circumvent the law, different versions of ecstasy were synthesized, which was the basis of the designer drugs movement. This production was eventually outlawed but re-emerged as a problem around 2000 with the popularity of homemade crystal meth.

Purchase the Financial Plan here
You can set up an introductory call for an on-screen demo of the financial plan
Valithea's financial plan was specifically developed for high-risk or fast-growing businesses, from pre-revenue startups to growth-stage companies. They include all figures sought by investors, as well as a realistic financial plan to be used by business owners. Additionally, all assumptions used are checked for consistency and while developing the financial plan, we work on adjusting the strategy together. Our financial plans are preferred by those clients who value precision over simplicity (we have an alternative financial model for those who prefer a simpler model)
With years of experience and testing on different business models, this financial model was engineered to:
* realistically project market size and penetration with top down approach TAM/SAM/SOM
* test all types of revenue models and easily switch between different scenarios
* display a changeable set of assumptions that entrepreneurs can update independently (training provided)
* measure liquidity
* integrate different feasibility analyses and make strategic decision
* present all necessary figures to investors, with presentation-ready tables and graphs
* link the financials to advanced valuation techniques and risk assessment that are defensible in negotiations.
The financial plan for startups and fast-growing SMEs is usually planned on a monthly basis, as measuring liquidity is important to correctly measure the amount of funding to raise, as well as to observe the changes in strategy closely and how they affect financials, but can also be delivered on a yearly basis, as is preferred by the client and according to our recommendation. This is recommended for companies that aim to raise a large amount of funds and quickly grow to raise Series A and B.
The financial plan includes:
- An editable assumptions page with instructions (no need to change any formulas)
- Customers' development, usage rates and acquisition costs for customers and suppliers to realistically project market size, churn and penetration with the top down approach using TAM/SAM/SOM (the bottom-up approach is also available)
- Detailed revenue model based on your unique revenue models (regular or one-off services/ products, SaaS, trading, subscription fees, licence fees, transaction fees for marketplaces, transaction fees on funding, rent, inventory fees, advertising, and more)
- Detailed direct and indirect costs (and inventory flow with value/volume and timing of payments) for all types of business models
- Personnel development based on growth and salary increase, including varying paying models across countries
- Operating costs timed with expansion phases and regular admin costs, as well as capital investments with detailed depreciation
- Integrated IFRS financials with P&L, balance sheet and monthly and yearly cash flows (and past financials analysis) to measure liquidity
- Estimate of funds to raise for the period of time of your choice, that is automatic and measures minimum and maximum funds to raise, divided into multiple rounds
- Snapshot, Breakeven analysis, KPIs
- Template structured for automatic updates with tables that are easy to copy into reports, with changeable brand colours
- Snapshot, Breakeven analysis, Budgeting, KPIs, Scenarios, Valuation, Investors' Dashboard and various other add-ons including an advanced Valuation (optional)
Long-term support is also available through the hourly packages.
The basic assumptions of the financial plan are determined on the cover page, as well as having instructions and quick links to the relevant pages.
The disclaimer cannot be deleted to ensure the fair use of the financial plan.
Most assumptions are determined on a single page for each scenario. This makes the financial plan fully flexible, as it can be updated anytime without changing any of the formulas contained in the projections. The image below has some hidden rows, but excel easily allows you to find the relevant assumptions, divided by market, revenue model, direct costs & inventory, opex (marketing, staff and administration costs), capex and funding/working capital assumptions. All pages can be expanded to show more details or minimised to show only basic information, for easier printing: additionally, the links take you straight to the relevant section you need to edit. The financial plan works with dates and there is a timeline where you can easily input all relevant dates.
We use here a top down approach, by analysing market entry, market size, identifying customers to target, competition, competitiveness, growth strategy and retention. This produces highly realistic market penetration and growth built-up, slowly in the first months, and faster in the following years, with a later slowdown in each market (but growth can be sustained by entering new markets or selling new products to the same market. For a small business, instead, the bottom up approach is preferred and we have included the option to use the bottom-up approach or a fusion of both approaches. We estimate a TAM, SAM and SOM by assessing competition, and establish a maximum penetration and growth rate to ensure realistic growth. Additionally, we include a realistic number of suppliers or usage rates related to your customer data.
The detailed revenue model allows to include a variety of products or services, subscriptions, licences, transaction fees or advertising revenues. Each revenue stream has a variety of assumptions that help determine realistically how much you can earn from the selected customer base. We also calculate detailed figures on which revenue figures are based: sales volumes on which transaction fees are based, website views on which advertising fees are based, etc.
Direct costs are measured for each revenue type, and the inventory flow as well as related costs can be calculated in detail, potentially also for different products if relevant for your liquidity planning. The financial plan provides many hints on costs that you may have forgotten.
The financial plan can be seen on a monthly and yearly basis by opening and closing hidden cells (in Microsoft Excel). Marketing and sales costs can be projected based on 4 main channels and conversion rates: this allows you to portray the funnel, measure and validate your Customer Acquisition Costs. It also helps many customers plan out marketing channels that they previously did not consider, and to have realistic marketing expenses expectations . For example, you can plan the number of sales people needed to achieve certain goals.
Operating costs are calculated based on detailed projections of staff according to the strategy and realistic revenue/employees KPIs, salary for each position, and a variety of operating and administration costs, growing according to chosen variables, which ensure that no important business expense is left out.
Capex is typically low for startups, but it can include hardware for employees and intangible investments. This is calculated together with depreciation and balance sheet figures.
Rows and columns can be collapsed or expanded to easily find all relevant sections. The financial plans includes a high level of detail as you can see below, which was tested many times for potential errors. The complex formulas allows you to freely change the assumptions without ever needing to edit formulas. If you want to insert hard values, you can also do that.
The financial statements include a standard income statement with all relevant figures, a balance sheet and a cash flow statement with the direct approach to easily measure the timing of cash flows (both direct and indirect cash flow method available. This gives us information on the run rate, gross and net burn rate, breakeven profit and breakeven investment time (when present), as well as how much funds to raise.
The financial statements are viewable monthly or yearly, and rows can be collapsed or expanded to fit the tables perfectly into business plans.
We can also measure the upcoming round of funding by determining how many months it should cover, including a safety buffer to avoid being short of cash too early, before the next round of funding can take place. The amount of funds to raise automatically updates and flows into the balance sheet according to the period selected. This helps us select a financing strategy with multiple rounds when necessary.
Metrics can be both general and sector-specific, and give you a last overview of all key data on customers, product prices, revenue per customer group, breakeven analysis for each main product, and lifetime value of customers, among others.
At last, these tables and graphs update automatically, and are ready to be used for business plans or pitch decks. May graphs were correctly sized to fit into our documents. You can also change the colours of the spreadsheet to your brand colours, or copy paste the graphs into your branded power point: the colours will automatically adapt to your brand colours.
Get in contact if you want to discuss your strategy before purchasing:
You can also receive the following analyses in excel:
- A Crowdcube Financials Snapshot
- A detailed Budget
- 2 in 1 Scenarios
- Financial KPIs

Claims $10,000 top prize in Star-Spangled Cash scratch-off
In addition to the good friend he met for lunch in Baltimore's Canton neighborhood back in January, a retired accountant unexpectedly bumped into $10,000 worth of Lottery luck.
The big fan of games of chance – casinos and horse racing, mainly – decided to try a Lottery scratch-off when he spotted an instant ticket vending machine near the shop where he was dining.
"I picked the Star-Spangled Cash game because of the $10,000 prize and the straight forward play style," the 83-year-old told Lottery officials. "When I scratched it there with my buddy, I did it real slow, to draw out the tension. I never expected that it would actually be a winner."
His deliberate technique proved effective, immediately revealing a match worth $3,000. "We were stunned," he said. "I almost stopped scratching right there, I was in heaven."
Reminded by his companion that there was more of the game to play, the Baltimore resident found two more matches that brought his total win to $10,000. "I'll tell you, that was the most exciting lunch I've had in my entire life," he said.
The happy Lottery player is putting his winnings in the bank. He plans to try more Lottery games as well as the tasty prepared meals at the lucky Harris Teeter store at 3779 Boston Street. "I'm relatively comfortable financially, so I'll use this money to enjoy the 'twilight' part of my 'twilight' years."
Lottery records show three more $10,000 Star-Spangled Cash tickets are unclaimed in Maryland stores. The $2 ticket also has four of its $3,000-winning tickets available.

Russia 'very likely' to invade Ukraine, says top US official
By Koert Debeuf
It is "very likely" that Russia will invade Ukraine and it can only be stopped by "enormous sanctions", Adam Schiff, the chair of the US House intelligence committee said on Sunday, The Guardian reports.
"I think that it would require enormous sanctions on Russia to deter what appears to be a very likely Russian invasion of Ukraine again," Schiff said. "And I think our allies need to be solidly on board with it. Russia needs to understand we are united in this."

US intelligence findings, published December in the Washington Post, estimate Russia could start a military offensive in Ukraine in a matter of months.
The findings say Russia could begin the offensive "as soon as early 2022" with 100 battalion tactical groups, which is twice the scale of forces Russia built up in the region last spring.
Officials told CNN that the current levels of equipment stationed in the area could supply frontline forces for seven to 10 days and other support units for as long as a month.
Tensions between the United States, the EU and Russia are spiking since Russia amassed 100,000 troops on the Ukrainian border. But the situation might be worsening fast.
The comments of Schiff came just before US president Joe Biden had a call with Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
Biden told Zelenskiy that the US and its allies will "respond decisively" if Russia further invades Ukraine, according to a statement from the White House.
The call came days after the second conversation Biden had with Russia's president Vladimir Putin.
In this call both presidents agreed to hold talks between representatives from the US and Russia on 9-10 January in Geneva, followed by Russia-Nato Council talks and a meeting of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE).
According to the White House spokesperson, president Biden underscored the commitment of the United States and its allies and partners to the principle of "nothing about you without you."
In December, US secretary of state, Anthony Blinken, has said that the US was consulting with European partners on Ukraine.
During a meeting of Blinken with EU's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, both agreed "that any discussion about European security will happen in coordination and with participation of the European Union," an EU statement said after the meeting.
In his interview on CBS, Schiff also said that an invasion would see "more Nato assets closer to Russia. [It] will have the opposite impact of what Putin is trying to achieve".
"I fear that Putin is very likely to invade. I still frankly don't understand the full motivation for why now he's doing this, but he certainly appears intent on it unless we can persuade him otherwise.
"And I think nothing other than a level of sanctions that Russia has never seen will deter him, and that's exactly what we need to do with our allies."

A Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Social Media, Mrs. Lauretta Onochie, on Tuesday said it would be difficult for President Muhammadu Buhari to remove members of Peoples Democratic Party members who are serving in his government overnight.
She spoke at the 2nd annual international conference on Tuesday in Abuja with the theme focusing on institutions: A panacea for sustainable development.
The event was organized by the Progressive Solidarity Forum in collaboration with National Orientation Agency.

She corroborated claims by Comptroller General of Nigeria Customs Services, Col. Hammed Ali (rtd) who said that the change agenda of Buhari government had been hijacked by members of PDP who defected to the All Progressives Congress.
She said more than 50 per cent of PDP members are in the Buhari government serving in the presidency, judiciary and law enforcement agencies.
According to her, these members are serving their personal interest instead of that of President Buhari government.
Mrs. Onochie said: "That brings me to those who are in this government to serve themselves. Those Col. (rtd) Hammed Ali, the CG Customs called PDP. He said that there are about 50 percent of them in this government.
"But I say no they are more than 50 per cent. They are everywhere. They are in the presidency, the national assembly. You can find them in the judiciary, they are in the law enforcement agency.
"They serve their personal interest. They encourage unsuspecting youths, our youths to be their foot soldiers on the social media to abuse and curse people while their own children are sipping tea in England or America or elsewhere. They are a poor example to our youngsters on the social media.
"You just don't go and change all the agencies. That is not how it works. If you have to change the whole civil service, the whole police, the whole market women, you change the whole children in the school.
She said Nigerians must come together to fight corruption before it kills the nation.
"Corruption is everywhere. All of us must come together and join hands with this president to kill corruption before corruption kills our nation.
"Our youth population is in need of good role models. They were born into corruption," she said.
Earlier in his remarks, Grand Patron and Founder of the organization, Dr. Ibrahim Emokpaire, said Nigeria needs a strong institution to fight corruption.
According to him, the federal government needs to focus on creating a robust and dynamic institution to accelerate development on a sustainable basis.
"Focusing on functioning institutions remains the most pragmatic enduring legacies, of the short stint of a progressive party in the governance of Nigeria," he said

99 Ways To Die
Mysterious Book Report No. 380
by John Dwaine McKenna
After the end of World War II in 1945, China was in total disarray; weakened for decades by the lack of a functioning central government, the vast areas controlled by individual warlords, and devastated by years of savage mistreatment by the occupation of Imperial Japanese armed forces in the 1920s, '30, and '40s. After WWII the strongest of the warlords, Chiang Kai-shek, leader of the Kuomintang (National People's Party), and his former ally, Mao Tse-tung, founder of the Chinese Communist Party, fought a civil war. With the defeat of the Nationalists the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949, the surviving Nationalists fled to the island of Formosa . . . which is now called Taiwan . . . and set up what they called a government-in-exile known as the Republic of China. And just so you know, the Chinese claim the island, forty miles off of the coast as their own, while the United States and about twenty others recognize Taiwan as a sovereign nation and have signed defense treaties with them.
Which is all background material for this week's MBR No. 380. It takes place in the capitol city of the controversial island, home of a mish-mash of different identities and cultures.
99 Ways To Die, (Soho Press, $26.95, 273 pages, ISBN 978-1-61695-968-5) by Ed Lin is the third in his acclaimed Taipei Night Market series which features a sidewalk food stall that's run by a man named Chen Jing-nan, who inherited it from his father and grandfather. He's assisted by a pair of employees named Dwayne, who supplies the muscle, and Frankie the cat, an older gent with a dubious past who has all kinds of underworld connections. The action begins when a business tycoon and billionaire named Thomas Lee Tong-ming is kidnapped and held for ransom. Know familiarly as "Tong-tong," he's a vehemently outspoken opponent of immigration, one of the richest men in Taiwan, with family and business ties back on mainland China, and he's also Jing-nan's landlord, as he owns most of the real estate that underlies the Taipei Night Market. His kidnapping causes a media sensation because of Tong-ton's notoriety, and the ransom demand for a secret computer chip design. So, when Peggy Lee, Tong-tong's spoiled daughter . . . who's a classmate and lifelong friend of Jing-nan, calls and begs for help rescuing her father . . . because, "The police are incompetent, uncaring idiots," in her words, he can't refuse. And, just like that, Jing-nan finds himself neck-deep in hi-tech crime and conspiracy, murder and mayhem with roots going back generations to the pre-communist days on the mainland.
99 Ways To Die will bring you so deep into the insights and sounds, the culture and character of the breakaway island nation, you'll think you've actually been there!

- 2-3 leaves laurel
- 0.5 glass white wine to spray the meat
- 0.5 glass water
- 0.5 Knorr stock I use the gelly ones ("Knorr Homestyle Stock")
- First step of this easy Italian chicken recipe is also the most important one: marinate the chicken chops.Put the chicken chops into a large bowl, add all the ingredients used to marinate it, cover it and let it rest for at least 3 hours, up to 1 night.
- Two hours before the meal, put the pan over high heat, and when it is hot start putting the chops, one by one, on it, after draining them off. The meat has to roast with noise. Before they get burnt, turn the chops on the other side and repeat the roasting.
- When it is roasted on every side, spray the chops using the white wine, that will almost immediately evaporate.
- Now lower the heat, add 1/2 glass of water and half stock and cover the pan. Keep it cooking over low heat for about 1.5 hours. After that, chicken should be almost ready, but still too much liquid, that you will make evaporate cooking over medium heat until it reduces.

Suggested wine pairings
One of the most discussed topics about food and wine pairings is what to drink with chicken. Some would suggest white wine, but I personally prefer a red wine, not very strong, in order to avoid shadowing the meat taste, that is delicate.
My choice here is a Chianti, from Tuscany, like this Villa Antinori (amazing value for price): https://bit.ly/2QynzDe, or a wine from my Emilia Romagna, a Sangiovese Superiore, like the one you can find here: https://bit.ly/2UNSWbr. There is often a taste of Emilia Romagna in my choices… just let me know yours!

It is traditional, in circumstances like this, to look for the counterintuitive. To search for reasons why the impossible might be possible. And United's daunting first leg against Bayern Munich tonight is no exception: Eurosport have a video giving five reasons that United fans should have hope, while the Independent, delving deep, have managed to find ten. Ten! Over on ESPN, meanwhile, Miguel Delaney has reminded everybody that knockout football is subject to the whimsies of "blind, wild luck," which is some comfort.
But excluding that last hope — which isn't really a hope at all; more an acknowledgement of humanity's inherent subordination to capricious forces that we cannot hope to comprehend — they are all, well, wrong. Manchester United are not going to win. Manchester United are going to lose. The real question, the only question, the definitely-in-no-way-an-attempted-reverse-jinx question is how are they going to lose? And what would such a loss do to the flailing, drowning experiment that is 'David Moyes, Manchester United manager'?
The utter skelping
This is what the neutral's tuning in to see. Arjen Robben turning Alexander Büttner into marmalade. Franck Ribéry turning Phil Jones into slightly chunkier marmalade. Philipp Lahm fussing Wayne Rooney to death. Thomas Müller disappearing right in front of Rio Ferdinand's bemused face, reappearing on the other side, tapping the ball through David de Gea's legs, then running off with a giggle and mooning the Stretford End.
And it's certainly possible. Bayern are very, very good; United less so. The defence — which hasn't really earned its name for much of the season — is weighed down in equal measure by suspension, injury and inadequacy, the state of the midfield has progressed from tragedy to cliche and out the other side, and up front ... well, Wayne Rooney's been pretty good, and Danny Welbeck is adorable. So we'll give the attack a pass, since they won't be getting many this evening.
But. The funny thing about hammerings is that they don't always have an impact commensurate to their scale. Too many goals and a defeat turns into something inexplicable; less a simple failure of footballing ability, more a freakish confluence of circumstance and misfortune. The early red card did it, or the clutch of injuries, or the referee's unfair decision to allow them to have eleven players as well. Shipping six at home isn't normal. It must be something weird. And you can't blame the manager for something weird ...
The comfortable dismissal
... whereas he can and will be blamed, long and loud and hard and shrill, if this happens. Something like: a 0-3 defeat that involves an awful lot of Bayern possession, a first goal that comes from a defensive error, hardly any United attempts on goal, a considerable number of yellow cards acquired through desperation rather than cynicism or violence, a second goal that comes at the end of a glorious team move, a third that comes a minute later after a tired pass, a red card that only arrives in the last ten minutes, a fine-yet-futile performance from David de Gea, and somebody, Robben maybe, hitting the post.
The home defeats against Liverpool and Manchester City were humiliating not just in the identity of the opposition, but in the manner of the execution. They were defeats at the hands and feet of a group of footballers who looked quicker, stronger and smarter; who were in some vague and indefinable sense more modern in what they were doing. Tomorrow's football against yesterday's. That gap in quality and capacity was what Moyes's was driving at when he made those cackhanded comments about aspiring to play like City. At times, against the best teams, Moyes's boys have played like an overachieving FA Cup team being put firmly in their place by their biggers and betters. And they don't come any bigger and better than Bayern.
Should this turn out to be a classy, similarly comfortable dispatch on Bayern's part, then it'll be the third time in a month that the Old Trafford crowd will have sat and watched their side being clinically dissected. The real danger for Moyes is not that United lose, which as we have established is a certainty, but that United lose in a manner that makes his team look comfortably and fundamentally inferior. Again.
The narrow squeak
A doughty rearguard, a bit of luck, some great saves from De Gea. An opening goal from Danny Welbeck, after Manuel Neuer spills a Rooney punt. A bit of spirit, a bit of fight, perhaps some tactical cleverness that squashes some combination of Robben or Ribéry or Kroos. An ultimately futile exercise, yes, as Mario Mandzukic scuffs the equaliser in off a shin after 70 minutes, then David Alaba's deflected shot trickles past David de Gea just five short minutes later, but still. Something to shout about. Something to shout at.
It'd be a surprise. That it would be a surprise says a lot, not much of it good. One of the sadder aspects of the Moyesian reign has been the defeats, which have come with a general lack of defiance and cussedness, and an overwhelming air of meekness. It's been a good long while since United were such welcoming hosts, and if the team can change that tonight, then Moyes might just make it out of the evening in no greater bother than he is now. It might not be enough to see him into next season, of course, particularly since there's a second leg to come. But it'll make the watching that bit less painful.

Microsoft is reminding customers once again that Windows XP has less than a year to live until life support is switched off. The warning arrives as the Redmond company is gearing up to launch a preview of Windows 8.1 next month during the BUILD 2013 developers conference. The current warning is aimed primarily at small businesses reluctant to upgrade, but it also applies to all users still clinging to the ancient OS.
"Small businesses, we know you love Windows XP. It's been good to you. But it's 12 years old, and the time has come to start bidding it a fond farewell," said Microsoft's Jennifer Chen. "The unfortunate fact is that it's out of date and support for it will end on April 8, 2014 – less than a year from now. Are you ready?"
Many may not be. In fact, many businesses and consumers may still think Windows XP will be supported by Microsoft despite the warnings. While speaking with one local retailer, the manager swore up and down that Microsoft will keep supporting the platform beyond May 2014 given that this particular chain has stores spread out across the country. After arguing back and forth with us over the subject, he still didn't get the message, and said that HP would keep Windows XP supported indefinitely.
The scary aspect of this reluctance is that this chain holds the personal records of millions of customers. Another local business we spoke to was just as reluctant about upgrading, but a quick glance at the screen showed that even security updates issued by Microsoft weren't installed. Again, like the former chain, this company holds personal records of all its customers. Imagine what will happen after April 2014.
"What does end of support mean? It means no security updates," Chen added. "No free or paid assisted support options, and no updates to online content. Using new hardware and software will become increasingly difficult and incompatible."
In 1Q13, Windows XP's market share of the OS market was 38.31 percent, following Windows 7 which commanded 44.72 percent. The usage of Windows XP has dropped to some degree over the past year, but not as much as Microsoft would probably like. In June 2012, the platform owned 43.61 percent of the market, and by December it still retained 39.08 percent. That said, Microsoft has a long way to go before Windows XP is completely out of the picture.

Key Benefits
- Flexibility of bag pattern, loading configuration, and bag size
- Efficient loading for open top trucks
- Rapid truck change-over time
Innovative mechanical concept for open top truck loading
Intelligent bag loading technology
Reduced power consumption. The flexibility to load different bag types and sizes. Greater efficiency at higher capacities. Modern cement plants are placing ever greater demands on their automatic truck loading system.
The VENTOMATIC® CARICATECH truck loader offers a tailored solution to these challenges that provides:
- The highest output on the market for single-bag loaders, with 10% greater productivity than its closest competitors
- The greatest flexibility of bag patterns and truck types that can be loaded.
Using the same bag-loading principle as our well-known CARICAMAT® truck loader, the CARICATECH forms the bag layer above the truck and then transfers the layer onto the truck platform. What differentiates the CARICATECH is that bag layers are formed on a special roller bed and then picked up and positioned on the truck by forks. With the CARICATECH SB model, the loading pattern is adjusted to the truck dimensions automatically.
Flexible and reliable automatic truck loader for open top trucks
- Flexibility of bag pattern, loading configuration, and bag size
The optimal solution for Indian and Chinese markets, which predominantly use HDPE non-laminated bags. Bag layer configurations are automatically customised to the truck bed, with a wide variety of loading patterns.
Bag feeding is also flexible according to your plant layout and logistics requirements. Fixed or mobile belt feeder, central or lateral feeding – all are possible regardless of the required loading stroke.
- Efficient loading for open top trucks
- Whether your trucks have fixed side panels and/or rear fixed sides, bags are loaded to fill the complete width of the platform. The bags are positioned and pressed to avoid space between the stacks and layers, giving unparalleled stability during transport.
- Rapid truck change-over time
The high vertical speed of the CARICATECH head allows the immediate entrance of a new truck into the loading bay. This dramatically reduces changeover time, allowing average capacities of 3000 bags/h or more to be reached.
Traditionally, plants with loaders with slow changeover times have two loading bays with two automatic truck loaders dedicated to each packer to prevent bottlenecking. Our solution consists of one high-capacity packer (typically a ten- or twelve-spout rotary packer for capacities of 150-180 t/h), one automatic bag applicator, and one CARICATECH truck loader.
As the bag loading cycle stops for only a few tens of seconds, the average capacity is extremely high, without the need for a second bay and loader. It's time and cost efficient, ensuring excellent average production using only one loading bay.
- Ground palletising
When the trucks are not available, it is possible to position a mobile roller conveyor under the loader for bag palletizing. This enables production to continue and improves bag dispatch flexibility. It is an ideal solution for sling bags.
A smart automatic truck loader that reacts to changing parameters
Remote assistance
Control of the CARICATECH truck loader is based on IPC technology, which replaces the classic PLC hardware. This gives incredibly high performance, as the machine control logic and human-machine interface (HMI) run on a common platform. We can also provide remote assistance in real time via VPN or internet connection from FLSmidth.
Smart operator panel
The operator panel enables smart management of loading parameters according to truck characteristics and customer requirements (number of bags, stack configuration, tonnes, etc). It's easy to program the different bag sizes and pattern configurations. Diagnostics and troubleshooting operations are also improved, thanks to a dedicated operating environment.
Simple to install
The CARICATECH truck loader can be fitted into existing loading bays with minimum requirements. Thanks to the preassembled and pre-wired execution, it can be installed and commissioned in about 10 days.
Easy to operate
The operator panel displays a dynamic mimic of the loader and provides both a clear and detailed overview and close monitoring of all operations. Additionally, it's possible to connect the onboard camera system to a pair of monitors positioned close to the operator panel.
Setting loading parameters is easy and intuitive. It's possible to make changes to the loading parameters in real time. But the biggest benefit is the diversity of automatic loading capabilities. It's possible to handle different bag sizes, pattern configurations (interlocked or not), and loading modes (flat and/or pyramidal loading) with a different number of bags per layer, layer by layer, completely automatically.

Detectives in Oldham have released an image of four men they wish to speak to in connection with a burglary at an address near Werneth Park in May.
Officers were called to an address on Lacrosse Avenue shortly after 6pm on Friday 7 May to a report of four men - one wielding a baseball bat and another holding a flick knife - entering the property and making threats.
The occupant of the address - a man in his 20s - was struck twice to the back of the head with the bat and required medical attention for two large, deep wounds.
During the ordeal, the offenders made demands and used the knife to threaten the victim before they made off with a PlayStation4, Louise Vuitton bag, jewellery, clothing, aftershaves and the victim's bank card, totalling a cost of between £700 and £800.
No arrests have been made and following extensive enquiries from Oldham CID investigators, including forensics and CCTV trawls, an image has today been released of a group of men they are interested in discussing the incident with.
Detective Constable Mike Radcliffe, of GMP Oldham's CID, said: "It's important that we catch the culprits of this appalling act of violence and by releasing the image of these four men we want to speak to as part of our investigation I hope it may get us closer to catching those responsible.
"The place where people should feel safest is in their own home and we are doing all we can to ensure the offenders are taken off the streets and brought to book for these crimes."
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact police on 0161 856 8926 quoting incident 2243 of 07/05/2021. Details can be passed anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

ADAMS COUNTY, Colo. — A 34-year-old Adams County man nicknamed "Monster" and "Dysfunctional Rockey" has been arrested after allegedly trapping a woman in a home for several weeks and assaulting her almost every day.
On Wednesday around 2 p.m., Adams County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a 911 call regarding a domestic disturbance, which included a person who had been assaulted, along the 1600 block of Main Street in Strasburg. When deputies arrived, they found a woman with multiple injuries. She told them that the suspect, Christopher Dale Rockey — who also goes by the nicknames "Monster" and "Dysfunctional Rockey" — was inside the home and likely armed, according to the sheriff's office.
The Adams County deputies surrounded the home. Rockey refused to come out, so members of the county's SWAT team were dispatched to the scene. Rockey then surrendered without an incident, according to the sheriff's office.
Following an investigation, detectives learned that Rockey had locked the woman in the home for several weeks, and had been strangling and assaulting her almost every day. He threatened her with multiple weapons, according to the sheriff's office.
On Wednesday, the woman was able to escape and ran to a neighbor's home for help.
Deputies arrested Rockey on charges of:
-Attempted first-degree murder
-Second-degree kidnapping
-Second-degree assault
-False imprisonment
-Multiple outstanding warrants
He is being held in the Adams County Detention Center.
No other information was available as of Friday morning.
