When I saw the 2019 Academy Award nominated live action short films, I thought it was a quite strong group of films. All of them held my interest well; all of them were impressively well done. If I had to pick a favorite of the five, I would maybe lean toward Madre from Spain for its taut intensity, but it would be really close. Another serious contender would be Detainment. In fact, if we alter the question slightly and ask which film I thought about the most after the fact, which one's emotions stayed with me the longest, I'd be inclined to move Detainment into first place, perhaps in part because it's a true story.
I was interested enough in this story, in fact, that I spent an hour or two reading up on it online after I got home. I vaguely remembered it from back when it happened—in the '90s—but it's not a story I had followed at that time, more just something that I saw a couple headlines about, overheard part of a summary of on TV news, etc. Pretty much all the details were new to me.
The case that is the subject of the film is the murder of two year old James Bulger, who was abducted from a shopping mall in the Liverpool, England area and murdered by Robert Thompson and Jon Venables, both 10 years old at the time. Parts of the story are acted out, and parts (including the killing itself and any gruesome details of the story) are conveyed via police interrogations of the boys (separately, with family present).
In the interrogations, the boys go from denying having ever even seen the toddler, to admitting to taking him but insisting they didn't harm him in any way, to admitting they killed him but each insisting it was really the other who did so.
Thompson comes across as a complete psychopath. You also get at least a hint of a psychological explanation for his role in the shocking crime when, in the context of denying his guilt, he mentions that he has a little brother that age and surely if he wanted to kill a toddler he'd have simply killed him. So it's entirely possible that he experienced the common resentment and jealousy of the older sibling for the younger sibling whom he perceived as getting all the attention and favoritism as the "baby," and it triggered such a rage in him that, coupled with his being a psychopath and thus not putting moral inhibitions on his impulses, resulted in murder, albeit redirected toward a different child rather than his brother.
Venables appears to be more of a panicky little kid who got caught up in something that got way out of hand. Whereas Thompson regards his police interrogators with the defiant sneer of a cold-blooded felon, Venables just looks like he's in over his head as he breaks down repeatedly, crying, blubbering, and desperately hugging his parents or even the cops themselves.
When I read about the case later, in certain respects I got a different impression than I had from the film. Not so much in the sense that the film is inaccurate—which is depressingly routine for virtually any film "based on a true story"—but more in the sense that the film comes from certain specific evidence, mostly the transcripts of the interrogations, and is short enough that it can include only a fraction of that evidence, and so the picture it paints is almost unavoidably going to be at least subtly different from the whole story.
From the film, I got the impression that a lot of what happened was unplanned and impulsive. The boys are shoplifting and engaged in various low-level crimes and hijinks in the mall, and on a lark they grab some kid, not knowing what they even intend to do with him. They take him out of the mall, walk around aimlessly with him for a while, encountering various people along the way and explaining to them that he's some lost kid they found that they're taking to the police station. Eventually, perhaps fearing that they'll get in trouble for having this kid for so long for no plausible reason and wanting to silence him from telling on them, they take him to an isolated area and kill him.
But in reality they confessed that they'd planned before they had ever arrived at the mall to grab a little kid and take him out and throw him into traffic to kill him. Mall security cameras show them watching various kids and following them around, and even trying to grab one before being shooed away by an angry parent.
The film hints that there may have been some significant ill-treatment prior to the murder, that it wasn't just a "clean" killing, but it's not specific about it. In fact, they were really brutal in how they tortured and killed the kid, and left his body on train tracks where a train smashed it and sliced it in two.
As far as the nature of the boys themselves and the dynamic between them (by the way, the actors who portray them look just like the photos of them), in broad terms the impression created by the film seems correct: Thompson was a heartless psychopath and Venables was tagging along and letting Thompson influence him to participate in his misdeeds. At least the portrait of Thompson seems correct; I'm not a hundred percent sure on Venables. I still think he was mostly a panicky kid who refrained from doing most of the worst stuff that Thompson did and is more guilty of failing to intervene than of actively participating, but it's possible he's just a different style of bullshitter and went a lot farther than he's willing to admit.
It's interesting, though, the paths they've taken since the crime. Plenty about them is not known, because they were ultimately given new identities in "witness protection program" style, and there remain strict gag orders on reporting about them in the press, but a certain amount of news about them has gotten out, one way or another.
Though they were tried as adults, they were only incarcerated for about eight years before getting out on parole.
Venables throughout his incarceration continued to seem like the one who wasn't a hardcore criminal, the one who did one terrible thing one time when he was heavily under the influence of a malevolent partner and never showed tendencies in that direction again. Upon his release his likelihood of re-offense was labeled as trivial.
Yet he's the one who has been in and out of trouble ever since. He has violated his parole by engaging in public brawling and been sent back to prison. In maybe a guilt-based death wish, he has multiple times revealed his true identity to people in his life. He has dated mostly teenagers and people much younger than himself. Most ominously he has violated his parole multiple times by possessing child pornography and images of extreme violence directed toward children, and is in fact currently back in prison for this.
There's no indication that any time after the crime he has actually acted on his apparent obsession with the violent abuse of children. And his adult behavior isn't necessarily inconsistent with the hypothesis that he's not a psychopath like Thompson and directly participated far less than Thompson in the horrific treatment of the Bulger toddler. It's possible that what we've seen in him since isn't evidence that he was truly evil all along, but evidence that he was greatly damaged by what took place when he was 10.
Thompson, by contrast, has remained out of trouble. He wrote what appears to be (but who knows?) a sincere statement of apology to Bulger's family upon his release, and reportedly has lived a quiet, law-abiding life ever since in a long term, stable, homosexual relationship. He did evidently reveal his identity to his boyfriend, but unlike Venables he has not blabbed it to others indiscriminately.
It's possible he's still the consummate psychopath, but prison is an exceedingly undesirable place, and even a psychopath with zero moral concern for anyone else might refrain from doing things that could land him back in prison, purely from a motive of self-interest. Maybe his being a psychopath has kept him from being wracked with guilt in a way that would fuck up his life like it seems to have fucked up Venables's. Whereas Venables appears obsessed with what happened and keeps returning to it in one form or another, such as with the violent child pornography, maybe Thompson isn't troubled by that because, due to his cold-hearted nature, he was never particularly emotionally involved.
Anyway, it's obviously a wild, truly disturbing story, and Detainment is gripping in how it relates it.

Three years ago, someone taught me the knit stitch. And that's all I thought there was to knitting!
I started a scarf in garter stitch with no pattern. About that time I met Matt. I started KIP to impress him.
Flash forward three years. The scarf is long, too wide (co 44 stitches) and I haven't touched it in months. Then, Matt's mother passes on to me a bag full of knitting materials. Yarn, circular needles, dpns, even a homemade knitting spool!
What are all these strange items and how in the world are they used for knitting? Answering that question, I accidentally taught myself spool knitting. And I discover websites that teach you all these other techniques. Before I know it, I've learned the purl stitch, how to read a pattern and I haven't looked back since!
Now, being so enlightened, I unraveled the crazy wide scarf, finished it and gave it to Matt as a gift. We joked that since it began our relationship, finishing it might end the relationship but he wears it now proudly and we are still happily together.
Today, he's not as impressed with my knitting as when we first met. He's more of a knitting widower. When he needs attention though, he pulls on my work with his toes and I know its time to put it down and cuddle.

USDA announces fish recall dating from 2018
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is concerned that some fish on a current recall may be in peoples' freezers. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
Approximately 121,151 pounds of various Siluriformes fish (Catfish) items were imported on various dates between March 20, 2018 through May 4, 2019 from Bangladesh and Myanmar. Both countries are ineligible to export Siluriformes fish product to the U.S.
Illinois is one of nine states to which the fish (see spreadsheet) were shipped.
The problem was discovered during routine FSIS surveillance activities of imported products. Products were not presented for import re-inspection the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.

The Language curriculum in Montessori introduces a phonetic approach before pointing out the names of the letters. Children learn the sounds of each letter in the alphabet through activities that demonstrate pre- reading skills like "find the beginning, middle and ending sounds of pictures or objects." Later, children learn to blend these letter sounds forming a short vowel word (cat, sun, bat).
I put this video together to refresh your mind on the letter sounds again, so you can reinforce the proper sounds with your child. You can also show your child this video as a visual exercise outside of the classroom. Notice the consonant letters are in pink and the vowels are in blue, it is the same color theme as you would find in most traditional Montessori Language lessons.
Enjoy and share!

Fun face
What do you look for in your cosmetics? If the answer is fun, trending colours that won't break the bank, there's a new player in town that's worth a visit. 3INA (pronounced Mina) offers cheerful, affordable and easy-to-use products that would especially suit younger women, those who like experimenting with vibrant colour and those who are good at DIY. Standouts include their coloured mascara, liquid liners in iridescent finishes and nail polishes in a staggering variety of shades.

The brand also has makeup for the less adventurous, stocking a full range of staples from a 3-in-1 Foundation to brow pencils, matte lipsticks, chubby lip pencils, brushes and other makeup tools.

There's a good chance you've just started those resolutions for a healthy New Year. But how do your changes stack up to the latest research in cancer prevention?
Decades of research in diet, weight, physical activity and cancer risk have led to major findings. It's now recognized that approximately one-third of the most common US cancers can be prevented with what we eat, weigh, and how much we exercise. Cancer prevention research is a relatively new field, but advances have created new approaches to reduce cancer risk, and improve overall health.
Here are six trends in cancer prevention research that can help you make 2015 your healthiest year yet.
1. Focus on what you eat most of the time
Forget worrying about the broccoli you skipped for lunch or any one fad health food. And no need to zero in on the latest cancer-fighting nutrient making news. Early on, studies focused on how specific foods or compounds play a role in cancer risk. This kind of specific research is useful, but now evidence is showing the importance of looking at dietary patterns, which is what you eat most of the time. For example, eating plenty of vegetables, fruits, whole grains and beans while limiting alcohol, sweets and red meats creates an eating pattern linked to lower risk of cancer and other chronic diseases.
2. To lose weight, find the diet you can follow
Do you like Mediterranean foods? Love pasta and whole grain bread? Or perhaps you can't do without a dab of butter on your vegetables? A study this past year that looked at popular diets found that people who followed either low-carb or low-fat diets for a year lost about the same amount of weight. And there was little difference in weight loss among specific diet programs, such as Atkins or Weight Watchers. The study adds to the research that following any (healthy) eating pattern you can stick with is the best diet for losing weight for you.
3. Cook more, just a little
Cook dinner at home and you're more likely to eat fewer calories, both at home and eating out, found a new study this year. This is only the latest that adds to the research on how cooking can help you eat healthier. This study also found that people who cooked a lot ate fewer calories when they went out to eat compared to those who barely cooked. And those making dinner at home frequently were eating fewer refined carbohydrates, sugar and fat. Try out our essentail cooking tips to get started.
4. Reduce that chronic inflammation
Years ago, it was all about rogue molecules called free radicals spurring cancer, and how antioxidants protect again free radicals. The antioxidants found in fruits, vegetables and other plant foods surely play a role in cancer protection, but the picture is more complex than we first thought.Today, research suggests we should pay more attention to chronic inflammation. This condition likely plays a pivotal role in many cancers, along with type 2 diabetes and other metabolic health disorders.
Obesity is one possible cause of chronic inflammation, and that may be a reason obesity is one cause of so many cancers. So how do you slow or reduce chronic inflammation? Eat well and work to get to a healthy weight – see numbers 1 and 2. You can also sign up for AICR's free online weight loss program for additional ideas and support – The New American Plate Challenge: 12 Weeks to a Healthier You.
5. Add options to up your kids' veggies and fruits
Studies used to mainly look at diet among adults as a link to cancer risk. After all, cancer primarily affects people when they get older. Yet the habits kids develop often stick as they age, and overweight kids are more likely to be overweight adults. Research also suggests there may be periods of time as kids grow when diet plays an especially vital role in future risk.
Studies point to several ways you can help kids eat healthier, such as having kids try a new food repeatedly and letting your kids see you eat it. In one study, preschoolers who were offered a variety of vegetables and fruit as a snack were more likely to eat more of both.
6. Take moving breaks
You know you should exercise. There's a good chance you already have it at the top of that resolution list. It turns out, getting up from your desk or couch regularly can also do your body a lot of good.
The research on sedentary behavior and cancer risk began in earnest several years ago, and it continues to build. An analysis of all the research published this year found that being too sedentary – whether at work or home – increases the risk of three cancers: colon, endometrial, and lung.
Each two-hour per day increase in sitting time linked to a modest but increased risk of cancers of the colon and endometrium. There are plenty of ways you can get up and move during commercials or when relaxing at home. At the office, here's a for quick 3-minute office workout.

Our serving may be less visible: Prayers of intercession, acts of kindness, words of encouragement, attitudes of mercy and grace. Our love for our fellow man reflects our love for God. Jesus said, "The greatest commandment is to love the Lord your God with all your heart . . . The second is this: to love your neighbor as yourself." We are called to live in a Christ centered community. With God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit as our true example of community, we seek to walk together in humility, honoring one another as those who bear the very image of God. It is our joy to encourage and empower one another to shine forth in the true gifting and glory that reveals Christ in us both as individuals and corporately. We seek to love one another, bear with one another and stand together as one in the body of Christ. As brothers and sisters in the Lord we are Christ to one another in all circumstances "rejoicing with those who rejoice and mourning with those who mourn."

BAFT Member Update
Posted: August 2020
Posted: July 2020
Posted: June 2020
Posted: April 2020
Please direct all media inquiries to Blair Bernstein (Public Relations) or Gregory Kramer (General Communications).
ITFA and BAFT, working through the law firm Sullivan & Worcester, jointly produced this legal opinion as a benefit for their member institutions to reduce the cost and complexity for banks subject to the EU rules and to increase the ease of doing business under the English law version of the BAFT Master Participation Agreement (MPA). Input to the opinion came from working groups of both associations.
Read the Legal Opinion and Guidance Note
Under these new European regulatory requirements, credit risk mitigants, like the BAFT MPA, will need a legal opinion on whether their credit protection arrangements are legally effective and enforceable in all relevant jurisdictions. The legal opinion, issued by Sullivan & Worcester, is designed to facilitate this process for members of ITFA and BAFT.
"Our members make wide use of the BAFT Master Participation Agreement as one of their tools for distributing trade risk in the broadly-based modern forfaiting industry," said Paolo Provera, chairman of ITFA. "Reducing the expense of regulatory compliance is one of the tasks ITFA has set itself. This opinion reduces, at a stroke, the need to carry out much of the expensive and onerous groundwork in ensuring the agreement meets capital rules requirements."
"The BAFT Master Participation Agreement facilitates distribution of trade risk using a common framework, thus enabling more liquidity to meet financing needs," said Tod Burwell, BAFT president and CEO. "For both BAFT and ITFA, this legal opinion is critical to ensuring regulatory compliance while continuing to meet the needs of trade finance clients around the world."
The BAFT MPA is an industry standard for the transfer of trade finance related risk. It's English and New York law forms have been vital tools for the international banking industry for nearly 10 years.
About BAFT
About IFTA Founded in 1999, ITFA - The International Trade & Forfaiting Association (previously known as International Forfaiting Association – IFA), is the worldwide trade association for companies, financial institutions and intermediaries engaged in trade and the origination, structuring and distribution of trade debt. ITFA also represents the wider trade finance syndications and secondary markets for trade assets.

The secret to the healing Hungarian waters lies in the fact that, here, the crust of the earth is thinner than elsewhere. This allows the waters to absorb beneficial minerals more effectively on their way to the surface, meaning that certain springs contain a combination of minerals that have been shown to have a profoundly revitalizing effect on the skin.
The Omorovicza story has many layers and evolved over a considerable period of time. Margaret and Stephen's decision to create skincare which replicated the effects of the healing waters can be traced back to a meeting they had with the head of a Hungarian laboratory of dermatology famous for its Nobel prize winning discovery of Vitamin C.

One thing I love about paper crafting is the ability to customize cards or gifts for any style or personality. I really wanted to make a trendy card for a stylish gal & had so much fun creating this project!
This flower/vase image from Unity just screamed out to be embellished! The open circles from the flowers were the perfect size to glam up with some of my new Kaiser crystals. This fun leopard-print & hot pink floral paper is from the Peyton Collection by Anna Griffin. (Doesn't it make you want to purr!) ;)
Here's a close-up of my bedazzled bouquet. Mmmm!
For the "belt" - I just cut a small strip of paper... stitched both sides... and then added a few silver eyelets. The buckle is from a hardware kit by We R Memory Keepers.
Thanks for checking out my 'Hot Mama' card! ;) It felt so good to just create something! --- something with no deadlines attached to it. --- the way it should be! Ahhh! I love this hobby! :)

Connect and engage with TPP
The final report on the study to assess two exemption requests in Annexes III and IV to the RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU) have been prepared by Oeko-Institut e.V and peer reviewed by Fraunhofer Institute IZM and published on the European Commission's CIRCABC website as well as on Oeko's own website.
The report was prepared under the Framework Contract: "Assistance to the Commission on technical, socio-economic and cost-benefit assessments related to the implementation and further development of EU waste legislation" and outlines the outcome of the assessment of the renewal of exemption IV.42 and the request for a new exemption for lead and hexavalent chromium compounds in electric and electronic initiators of explosives for civil (professional) use.
The key outcomes include a recommendation for extension of exemption IV.42 to 30 June 2026, from the original expiry date of 30 June 2019. Regarding the requested new exemption for lead and hexavalent chromium in electric and electronic initiators of explosives for civil (professional) use, the authors recommend a narrower scope of the exemption to be valid for five years. The exemption is recommended to apply not to all lead and hexavalent chromium compounds but to lead diazide, lead styphnate, lead dipicramate, orange lead (lead tetroxide), lead dioxide in electric and electronic initiators of explosives and barium chromate in long time pyrotechnic delay charges, both for civil (professional) use.

Cigar School
Lesson 1: Cigar Parts
Cigar Wrapper
The wrapper is the most important and most expensive part of a cigar. Typically grown under a gauze tent (shade) to prevent the leaf from growing too thick,
the wrapper must be smooth and have very few veins. The majority of a cigar's flavor is derived from the wrapper.
Cigar Binder
Binders usually come from the bottom part of the plant, where the leaves are thicker and have more strength. These leaves usually have little or no flavor.
Cigar Filler
The filler can be from any part of the tobacco plant. The top of the plant usually produces the strongest flavor, while the bottom produces the tobacco with the best burning properties. Most cigars have blended fillers (fillers from varying parts of the plant and varying sources) to achieve the desired taste and optimum burning qualities.

We've seen some fairly decent platformers this year, including the likes of Guacamelee! 2, and in contrast, we've endured some pretty horrendous additions, such as Awesome Pea. I could dive deeply into the pool and throw out a gigantic list of both heavy hitters and miserable cash grabs, but, I'd be here all day. Safe to say, the platformer genre isn't short of attention. Miles & Kilo is the latest title to join the ranks, but does it do enough to stand out in such a widespread crowd? Yes, and no. It's a worthy trip, but it's far from memorable.
Much to be expected, there's not much in the way of a story. The titular Miles and Kilo find themselves stranded on a string of islands following an event that saw a mysterious specter take down their plane. Now, it falls to this duo to retrieve all of the scattered plane components in an attempt to put it back together so that they can escape from the archipelago. Components, I might add, that have since been stolen by the archipelago's few antagonists. It's a simple and straightforward plot, yes, but it does the trick regardless.
The game's world map showcases its islands to you, and in order to reach successive islands, you'll need to beat the island (and its boss) that you're situated on. Each island is compiled of a handful of levels, in which, again, you'll need to unlock through completing the prior. There's not much to keep on track of as far as the game's handling is concerned; left and right movement, a jump, an attack, and that's that. You're free to map these functions however you see fit, allowing you to customize the layout of your controller's commands.
You'll take on the role of Miles for the most part, however, there are sections in the game in which you'll play as Kilo. The controls and commands remain the same, but each character does enjoy their own unique outputs. Miles, for example, can climb walls, throw fruit, punch, and slide. Whereas Kilo can barrel roll, and smash enemies in rapid succession via homing to clear large drops; Sonic 4-esque. There's a nice bit of variation on show here, but it's the way that each level is catered for each character that brings much of the challenge.
Each level can be completed in less than a minute, but due to the game's harsh difficulty, you'll likely be spending a lot of time perfecting your jumps and fine tuning your platforming before you're anywhere close to success. The crux of play sees you starting at the far left of a level, and working to the far right. You'll know when you're at a level's end as there's a sizable barrier that you'll need to hit to end your run. Outside of that, things don't really get too complex. This is a game that puts depth to the side in favor of bouts of replay value.
I say that because each level is graded upon completion; fruit held, coins collected, time, and so forth. There's some achievements tied to performance, but in truth, I highly doubt I'll ever see them adding to my gamerscore through lack of skill. That said, this is certainly a game that will strongly appeal to hardcore fans of the genre. The levels play out as you would expect. Tight platforming, environmental hazards, and enemies are strewn all over. You'll move through them, and then be met with a boss at the end of each and every world.
It truly does prove to be quite a taxing game at parts though. Several times I found myself contemplating switching to another game due to how tough some levels are, and how accurate they expect you to be. It doesn't help matters that the game oftentimes throws cheap tactics your way, and because of that, a lot of trial and error is involved here. Despite that, mind, Miles & Kilo is a worthy investment, especially if you have a soft spot for split-second, quick reflex platformers. Just, expect to endure some frustration along the way.
Death means a complete level restart, and death, as alluded to above, will come often. Most levels see you jumping from narrow platform to narrow platform, dodging spikes and guillotine, and taking out the game's few enemy variants. The latter can be achieved through Kilo's homing attack, or via launching Miles' fruit – to which he can only hold five fruits at a time. You can indeed pick up some replenishment along the way, but most of the levels within are laid out quite strictly, giving you just enough room for success, and little else.
With cheap tactics to the side (more on that shortly) the boss battles are the weakest element on show. There's only a few to defeat, but none of them are particularly memorable, nor do they house much of a challenge. You'll spend most of your time here simply dodging their attacks and then getting your own attack in; rinse and repeat until they fall. It would have been nice to see some more depth on this front, or at the very least a bit more of a challenge. Instead, all of these encounters feel quite cheaply constructed.
Moving back to the game's other drawback, Miles & Kilo is chock-full of unnecessary, poor design choices. The game makes a habit of killing you for no reason outside of bad timing. Whilst this is an acceptable aspect in many games of this kind, here, it just feels well out place due to how cheap these moments feel. Most of these issues fall to timing rather than anything else, such as moving guillotine, which unavoidably takes your life through no other reason than reaching the area that it's stationed at, at the wrong time. It's infuriating.
The game has several moments like this, and there's little way to bypass them outside of hoping that you reach said danger at the precise moment that it's giving way. When all is said and done, however, Miles & Kilo is a decent platformer that does manage to get a lot right. The game's visual and audio design isn't anything to scream about, but there's enough detail and distinction across the board to see it through. There's also a time attack mode that unlocks once the campaign is complete, lending the game even more replay value.
Miles & Kilo offers a colorful and, at times, exciting adventure. Its steep difficulty curve and the simplicity found in its handling sits well with its short-burst level design. However, its reliance on using irritatingly cheap tactics is bound to frustrate even the most forgiving of players. That said, Miles & Kilo does enough right to justify a recommendation, but it's a recommendation that I can only extend to the patient fans of hardcore platformers.

The 4LO is built upon the same, highly efficient Virtual-Rotary Platform that has been commercializedin numerous industrial applications around the world over the last six years. At its core, the 4LO possesses all of the superior 1BLOW Machine Features and Benefits :
1) Virtual Rotary Kinematics
Rotary Motion is the key to achieving High-Speed and Low Energy Consumption in machinery; and thus is the chosen concept for the Industry Leaders in Stretch-Blow Molding Machines. The 1BLOW Platform stands above its competition with linear kinematics, through its unique Virtual Rotary Concept. Over 90% of the of the 4LO Machine Motions are rotary; leading to Maximum Mechanical Outputs of 2,000 Bottles / Mold / Hour and Machine Efficiencies of +95% which are in-line with the exceptional levels of the Industry Leaders.
2) All Electric Operation
All of the Main Machine Motions on the 4LO are effected by servo motors. Known for both their repeatability and reliability, servo motors are also the most energy efficient motion system. Comparative Operational Testing to similar sized competitive machines has demonstrated that 1BLOW machines can use up to 60% LESS Energy. The All Electric Concept also has the additional benefits of being both the cleanest and quietest stretch-blow molding machines in the industry.
3) Blow Mold Compatibility
The 1BLOW Mold Clamp Format and Stretch-Rod Pitch were designed after thorough evaluation of and consideration for all blow mold formats currently being used for Stretch-Blow Molding. This research, combined an Open Architecture Format, allow for 1BLOW Machines to accommodate blow molds from virtually all other competitive Stretch-Blow Molding Machines on the market. This ability allows customers to utilize existing blow molds on the 1BLOW Machine; thereby saving investment in redundant blow molds. Some 1BLOW customers are using two or even three different blow mold formats on the same 1BLOW machine.
4) Low Cost Blow Molds
With the choice of virtually any Blow Mold Format on the market, the 1BLOW can be configuredto accommodate the most widely manufactured and lowest cost blow molds available. Industry Standard Cylindrical Blow Molds are the most economical. A Simple, Small Bottle Cylindrical Blow Mold Set can cost as little as $ 6,000 USD for a two cavity machine ; and only $ 12,000 for a four cavity machine like the 4LO.
5) Low Cost Change Parts
Like all 1BLOW Machines, the 4LO was designed to minimize the number and quantity of Change Partswith the goal of reducing format costs for converting customers. Through this optimization, the 4LO Change Parts Set can be up to 50% LESS than a Change Part Set for a comparably sized competitive machine. A key advantage for converters who can have dozens of machines each with dozens of Change Part Sets.
6) Quick Change-Over
Another benefit of minimizing the number and quantity of Change Parts is that it takes less time to do a Machine Change-Over. 1BLOW has taken this a step further by making as many of the Change Parts in a Tool-Less format. The result is that the 4LO, in some cases has 50% less Change Parts than some Comparable Competitive Machines leading to a much quicker Machine Change-Over.
7) Compact Footprint
For reference, the 4LO Base Machine is just slightly larger than a four(4) door Mini Cooper. In fact, the 4LO is so spatially efficient, three 4LO Machines can fit in the same floorspace as one typical Rotary six cavity machine. Thus, this platform provides the advantage of two times the Output and three times the Flexibility of a six cavity rotary machine.
8) Accessibility
Despite its Compact Footprint, the 4LO has superior internal accessibility for technicians. Virtually every external body panel of the machine is actually a door which opens completely. In additional the Virtual-Rotary Concept is spatially efficient and provides many open areas inside the machine large enough to comfortably accommodate a technician. The 4LO, in fact, can accommodate four(4) technicians inside the machine at the same time.
The 4LO Machine goes to the Next Generation with its platform's ability to accommodate all of the Five Key Technology Kits with a Maximum Mechanical Output of 8,000 BPH. As a result, it is perfectly suited for the both the Custom Bottle Molding Demands and Production Outputs of the North American Market.
The Five Key Technology Kits offered by 1BLOW are :
1) Preferential & Offset Neck Heating
This Technology Kit produces opposing longitudinal heating bands to the preformto optimize production of Oval or Oblong Bottles. The 1BLOW technology goes one step further by also allowing for these heated bands to be moved off-axis from the preform centerline; so that Offset Neck Bottles can be produced. A truly unique capability in the industry.
2) Neck Orientation
This Technology Kit puts all the Neck Finishes on each and every bottle to be in the same orientation. This is invaluable for containers that use a Flip-Top Cap so that it aligns in the proper position for opening and pouring. Unlike the competition, 1BLOW can do this alignment without the need of a Tab or V-Notch on the preform. The 1BLOW servo-driven mechanical system, relies on the thread start only, and thus can use standard preforms; opening up the spectrum of preforms that can be used.
3) Heat Set
This Technology Kit combines Heated Blow Molds with Recirculating High Pressure Air Cooling to induce higher crystallinity into the bottles. This higher crystallinity allows the resultant bottles to have heat resistance to the Hot Fill Process.
4) Base Inversion
This Technology Kit is a Multi-Staged Mold Base System that allows for the Base Push-Up of the Blow Mold to be moved up in two or more increments and allows for the creation of a Diaphragm Base. On Heat Set Bottles this acts acts to absorb the vacuum created after the liquid contents cool in Hot Fill Bottles.
5) Sure Grip
This Technology Kit is allows for the production of bottles with a hyper-extended grip into the bottle that could not be produced in standard stretch-blow molding process. It utilizes Software and Hardware on the machine combined with a Multi-Staged Mold Insert System that allows for both opposing Handle Grip contours to be moved inward during the stretch-blow molding process.
We welcome NPE Exhibition Vistors to come by the 1BLOW Booth to experience the 4LO first hand to and see and learn of all of its Features, Benefits, and Advantages, and why it also just might be the Greenest Stretch-Blow Molding Machine on the market today. www.1blow.com

Mobily hits out at STC campaign
Mobile operater Mobily has filed a complaint with Saudi telecom regulator the Telecommunications and Information Technology Commission (TITC) against rival Saudi Telecom (STC) for launching an advertising campaign which it says calls into disrepute its services.
Mobily has called on the telecom regulator to stop the campaign.
Mobily claims the advertising campaign, which STC launched in the Kingdom recently, makes a direct reference to one of its services, 'Raqme' (My Number), and discredits its coverage.
Humoud Al-Ghobaini, media manager at Mobily, said the company objected to the campaign on three grounds.
"First, STC used this brand in their ads and started a campaign without permission from TITC. Second, they are using our trademark. Third, they alluded to the weakness of our network in their ad by saying 'what is the use of using Raqme if you don't have a good coverage?'".
Al-Ghobaini said that Mobily was hoping that as a result of its complaint the TITC would ban the campaign.
However, it had yet to receive a response from the regulator, he said.
STC was contacted with regard to the aforementioned campaign, but did not respond to calls by press time.

Everything happens to make you learn valuable things
- By Guest Blogger
- June 21, 2019
- No Comments
Are you a person that gets fascinated by watching any drama or series about Army officials? Their personality and aura give you fan moment when you meet any graceful army official. That happens to me too. I went to ASRC (Army Selection and Recruitment Center) for a test regarding Lady Cadet Course. The only thing that convinced me to give the test was the "Captain" rank that I would get if I pass the test and undergo the training, and I had a firm believe that everything happens to make you learn valuable things
Though I couldn't make it, the experience of being at that center and waiting for hours made me learn many things. Let me tell you about the fan moment, I saw a panaflex at the center claiming that we don't entertain any referrals and inappropriate candidates and in the end. After some time, the one who took my interview appeared from his office to take a round of center.
He walked past the registration area where I was waiting among many other girls. The moment I saw him with his name tag was mesmerizing. His personality caught my eyes but I tried to stay normal as I don't want to be noticed. The thing that attracted me was his personality, the uniform and of course the rank. Besides that, I learned some valuable things too that were academic as well as for my personal grooming.
1) You can always learn different things from your surrounding:
I am a Hijabi and try to learn new styles. I met many girls there who came for the test. I saw two girls wearing the same hijab style. I stared at their style for long enough to understand the hijab style. I wore the hijab next day and successfully copied them-plus is that style suited me too 😛
2) To Be Patient:
Many girls were sitting there taught me how to be less considerate and wait without complaining too much. Good things in life take time and every moment teaches you a lesson only if you concentrate.
3) Time Management:
It's a key for those who are preparing for an army/navy or even for an entry test. Playing with the time and attempting questions intelligently is the only best option that can make you succeed. Focus on the questions you can solve rather than wasting time on questions with long calculations and thought process. These questions are always included to test your skills of time management and unfortunately, I failed even after trying a lot not to waste time. But better luck next time 🙂
4) Come out of your shell:
I am a bit introvert and feel difficult to initiate a conversation with new people. Luckily, I always find some talkative people that entertain me. But this time I tried something new. I tried to come out of my shell and started a conversation sitting next to me and soon I realized that it's not that difficult to start a small talk. I hope it will continue and make me a better person in communications 😛
5) There's nothing bad in failure
Though not passing an intelligence was hitting my self-esteem. I met many girls who came out with a smile despite being failed in the test. When I communicated with one of those I found that they are happy because they at least tried and learned something that will definitely help them in the future at some point.
6) Brush off your old skills:
I polished some mental math's technique too as there was a section of that in the test with the strict time limit. Doing tick-tok like a time bomb and thinking under pressure was challenging as well as fun.
Overall experience was great. I was skeptical about going to a new place for a test early morning. I won't lie that I prayed before going to bed and setting alarm ' ALLAH subah aankh dair sey khulay,test ka time nikal jaye' 😛 I was afraid of giving the test but I did because I don't want to regret in future.
My advice is to try new things, don't listen to the thoughts every time. Chances are there to avail, don't let them go unattended. No matter you get a pass or fail; you will at least not get the pangs of conscience! Sometimes, coming out of the shell is the best way to explore yourself 🙂

Event Type: SeminarEvent Date: 17 January 2019 - 4:00pm to 5:00pmVenue: ASE 3-D Visualization Lab (N2-B1c-16c)Speaker: Dr. David Wald
About the speaker:

About the event:
In the immediate aftermath of a damaging earthquake, billions of dollars of relief, recovery, and insurance funds are in the balance through new financial instruments that allow those with resources to hedge against disasters and those at risk to limit their earthquake losses and receive funds for response and recovery. Many of these mechanisms, such as catastrophe bonds (catbonds), have come to rely on near-realtime (NRT; typically minutes to a few hours) earthquake information that allows those affected by the consequences of a disaster to quickly access financial capital. NRT products had been routinely used for situational awareness, to support response and facilitate aid, and as such they should also be of interest to those in the earthquake hazard and risk community. Such financial strategies can have significant benefit for stakeholders: They facilitate risk transfer, foster sensible management of risk portfolios, and assist in disaster response and recovery.
Yet, making funds available for at-risk populations also provides opportunities for investors who benefit from financial diversification. We will discuss the general categories of post-earthquake financial decision-making that benefit from detailed NRT earthquake hazard input: (1) Rapid damage assessments that guide disaster response and aid deployment; (2) estimation of monetary loss to a portfolio of industrial, commercial, or residential exposures to guide the claims adjustment process; and (3) the triggering of so-called parametric transactions—insurance instruments that rely on the physical measurement of event characteristics to determine if the insured party receives compensation and how much. In this presentation I will focus on the latter two categories.

Without fail, I wake ridiculously early every Saturday morning. I have always been a morning person; it's when I feel my most productive. And since getting a four legged friend, early mornings always feel like they have a purpose. Walking the dog in the peace and quiet with the morning sun and the fresh air gives you this kick; maybe its the exercise or maybe its seeing the sheer excitement on said doggies face as she wiggles her bum round the park in the early morning sun, disturbing the birds from their breakfast.
A beautiful Saturday morning takes away all the stresses and strains of the week and with a whole weekend ahead of you it feels like anything is possible. Sunday mornings however are the thing of nightmares. But more about that tomorrow.
Happy Saturday!

Online fashion retailer Jabong has hired Deepa Chaddha as its Chief Human Resource Officer to strengthen its top leadership.
Prior to joining Jabong, Deepa was the Head of HR, Global Center of Excellence functions, Bharti Airtel.
She has also worked at Oracle in critical business roles for nearly six years along with managing pre sales and Business Development functions. She was involved in launching and establishing the Oracle Human Capital Management brand in India.
Overall, Chaddha has a total 20 years of leadership experience across various verticals including Telecom, Software, KPO and Pharma industries.
"A strong human resource leader is pivotal in building a culture of passion, performance and people orientation with complete clarity of role and purpose. With the diverse experience that Deepa brings, her addition to the leadership fold will greatly strengthen Jabong's human capital." said Jabong CEO Sanjeev Mohanty.
Following Mohanty's appointment as CEO last December, the online fashion store recently appointed Snapdeal's Ranjan Kant as its Chief Marketplace Officer and Kalyan Kumar as the Head of Merchandise in an effort to strengthen leadership.
Jabong, at one point of time was close to Flipkart-owned rival Myntra in sales, but has lost significant marketshare over the past year and is currently being shopped around for a potential sale, according to media reports. The company's revenue growth rate and its total sales growth rate has also slowed down significantly over the past year.
Rival Myntra which previously had taken an app-only approach, re-launched its mobile site earlier today, in an attempt to woo back the lost customers.

CHICAGO (December 6, 2010)—Limited service Mexican restaurant chains were able to increase sales by 2.7 percent and unit counts by 1.8 percent in 2009, despite an overall industry-wide contraction of 3.2 percent during the same time period. Several Mexican chains within the Top 500 were able to achieve double-digit sales increases, and the number of Mexican menu items on restaurant menus is up from 2009 to 2010. Technomic's new Market Intelligence Report: Mexican explores the reasons why Mexican food is more popular than ever.
"The rise in popularity of Mexican food is the culmination of a number of factors all converging in foodservice at this moment," says Mary Chapman, Director of Product Innovation at Technomic. "The fast casual boom is certainly part of the equation – Mexican concepts fit well into the fast casual model. Consumers are also calling for authentic ethnic dining experiences and spicier, more flavorful foods, so Mexican concepts and menu items are on trend in a number of ways right now."
Technomic's Market Intelligence Report: Mexican offers restaurant operators and others aligned with the foodservice industry insights into growth opportunities and consumer preferences with regard to Mexican food.
Interesting report findings include:
- The number of Mexican entrees on U.S restaurant menus was up 3.3 percent from the first half of 2009 to the first half of 2010, with 5.4 percent more restaurant chains offering Mexican menu items over that time period.
- While chicken and beef are still the most prevalent ingredients in tacos, the number of fish tacos on restaurant menus was up an impressive 22.5 percent from the first half of 2009 to the first half of 2010.
- Consumers have begun to respond to regional preparations of Mexican items, much like Tuscan or Sicilian within the Italian category or Cantonese and Sichuan varieties of Chinese food.
The 2010 Market Intelligence Report: Mexican includes data from Technomic's exclusive MenuMonitor online trend-tracking resource, which analyzes the menus of more than 1,200 top chains, emerging concepts and leading independent restaurants. It features data culled from Technomic's Consumer Trend Reports. The report also profiles 92 leading and emerging Mexican restaurant concepts, chosen for their size, growth, potential and/or interesting position.

Brief introduction:
I am Khavya.G from Tamilnadu. I started my preparation exactly in June 2016 but initially, I didn't know where should I start from or what are all the sources I need to refer to, etc. But I was determined that I have to clear this exam without joining a coaching center and I knew that I could. So, I started doing self-studies. In IBPS Clerk, I got allotted to the Central Bank of India.
The very first thing about any competitive exam is that you need to believe yourself that one day or the other, you will clear this exam, no matter what circumstances you get to face while preparing for it.
Second thing is that, if there are 300 vacancies, there are going to be 300 different strategies and 300 different pathways. The strategy that I am providing here did wonders for me. As I don't know about your strengths and weaknesses, I advise you to alter this according to you.
Third thing is that you can give your best in the exams but you need to realize that you have no control over the results you going to get. Human mind functions in a way like, when we give an exam today, we usually expect the result the very next week. But if you come under this category, you need to change yourself.
I believe in "Give your best shot but don't expect the same from the results."
Prelims exam is based on your right choices of questions, speed, and accuracy.
All the candidates can solve all the 100 questions but that is not the case with prelims. Here, you need to pick up those questions which could be solved in minimum time with accuracy.
1) Clear Your basics from Adda247 Youtube videos of SBI PO Preparations.
2) Go for NCERT Books from class (6 – 12) and pick up those topics which are important for bank exams.
3) Solve basic level question from online portals like bankersadda.com or the books you prefer for Quants.
4) Once you are able to solve basic questions efficiently, move to the complex ones.
5) Learn cubes, squares and percentage tables calculations.
6) Use Bankersadda website and Mobile App to solve quizzes.
1) Watch youtube videos of Adda247. When you have a doubt in a particular topic, search that on Youtube and clear your basics about the same.
2) I just followed the online websites to solve questions from a particular topic.
1) Enhance your vocabulary.
2) Read Editorials and note down the meanings of difficult words.
3) Quizzes from online portals, etc.
4) Improve your comprehension skills.
Mains itself a special game where it tests your basics understanding of concepts and your ability to perform well under huge stress.
1) Try to minimize your calculations. Try to do half the solution in your mind because here, in mains, you face extreme calculation problems.
1) Puzzles will play a major role here. So increase your speed in solving puzzles.
2) Purchase a test series and do the questions given there. This will serve the purpose.
1) I do only the quizzes from online portals and practice test series questions.
If you prepare well for prelims you don't need to worry a lot about mains because just difficulty level of questions rises in mains. If you are strong in basics, you can come out with flying colors in mains exams.
1) I didn't buy any book for this section. I did all the quizzes on Adda247 Mobile App.
1) Banking Awareness –Do read Bankersadda Capsule + Frequently Asked Question section of RBI.
2) Current affairs: Read news from different websites daily. If you need, you can make your own notes of current events or else, you can download weekly and monthly capsules from the aforesaid websites.
3) Static: While reading current events, go through all the static part of it. For Instance, If you come across a news of some report published by world bank then learn about Headquarters of World Bank, Head/ Chairperson etc.
4) Static: Concentrate on Dams, National Parks, Days of a Month, Capital and Currencies, International Organizations and their headquarters etc.
1) In the last 1 week, practice typing in your laptop or PC within the time limit allotted to this part.
2) At least, you should have practiced 5 letters and 5 essays by the time of examination. You can choose the topics from Bankersadda etc.
3) Just increase your typing speed, that's it.
1) Follow Interview Capsules and Experiences of different candidates.
2) When you come across a question, just think of the answer you will give when you are asked that question. Then evaluate your answer with the correct one and improve.
1) Practice is very important for competitive examinations. Go for Adda247 Test Series.

15 May 2001
Q7 Alison Halford:
What discussions has the First Minister had with the Secretary of State for Wales over the proposed review of public sector ombudsman services in Wales? (OAQ11347)
The First Minister:
I refer you to the written answer that I provided to this question, at least in part, on 1 May. I wrote to the Secretary of State about this at around the turn of the year, proposing that we jointly carry out a review of public sector ombudsmen in Wales, the main purpose of which would be to ensure that we have a service that meets Wales's needs in this new century. That review is now underway.
2.30 p.m.
Alison Halford:
Thank you for that, Rhodri. I welcome the review that you are undertaking with the Secretary of State. Will you take this opportunity to underline our commitment to impartial scrutiny? At present, a local council chief monitoring officer is able to hold the additional post of chief legal officer and clerk to the local police authority. It could be argued that more furtive ground for conflict of interest is hard to imagine and that there is a possibility, were issues of corruption to arise, that that individual may need to investigate him or herself. The problem at present is that it is impossible to get one ombudsman to deal with all the multi-competences raised by this issue. The Assembly, through the establishment of the office of Children's Commissioner for Wales, has proved its commitment to open and accountable scrutiny. Therefore, will you ensure that this commitment to transparency and accountability is continued in the review of the services of ombudsmen?
The First Minister:
I hope that I can satisfy your request, Alison. However, I cannot relate this issue specifically to the question about the status of a clerk to a police authority. A clerk to a police authority is not outside the jurisdiction of the ombudsman, but the ombudsman can only look at certain categories of complaint. Matters such as staffing fall outside that jurisdiction, as do amounts paid in compensation by a police authority to members of the public, which are subject to district audit rather than ombudsman investigation. Police authorities, in principle, are audited in the same way as other public bodies and come within the jurisdiction of the district auditor.
Janet Davies:
In view of the number of bodies of varying legal status that receive considerable amounts of public money to deliver services, are you considering or engaging in discussion so that means for redress of complaints may be made more comprehensive?
The First Minister:
I hope that that would be an outcome of the review of public sector ombudsman services. We need a college of ombudsmen to cover the waterfront and to ensure that there are no gaps between the areas that each ombudsman covers. It is important that the public is satisfied that the different parliamentary origins and dates on which legislation is written do not result in some complaints that do not have any mechanism for redress. That is what we intend to do, with the full co-operation of all the people in Wales with responsibilities similar to those of an ombudsman. They believe that this is the right way forward and, as this system has grown like Topsy since 1967, when the original parliamentary ombudsman was instituted, that we must conduct a review in order to modernise the system with a view to comprehensive coverage for the twenty-first century.
David Melding:
Do you agree that members of the public—and some Assembly Members—do not have a good understanding of the work of ombudsmen, and that more work needs to be done to publicise this important function?
The First Minister:
I would be only too happy to arrange visits for cross-party teams of AMs to the different ombudsmen offices, for a half-hour or hour-long seminar or explanation of their work. As the function of an Assembly Member, similar to that of a Member of Parliament, is critical in helping the public to understand how to secure their rights when they feel they have been done a bad turn by the authorities, in whatever guise, it is important that we are able to reassure people with some expertise. Therefore, if that is the general wish of the Assembly, I am sure that we can make the appropriate arrangements, and I will be glad to assist.

Most of us like to know what is happening and when. For many children with additional needs their anxiety is heightened as they struggle to understand what is happening and in what order.
Tune in with your child; communication, motivation, beat frustration! workshop gives participants an opportunity to
Explore different ways to communicate.
Explore the impact on young people who cannot communicate their needs.
Watch a demonstration of using puppets and ideas that can motivate and make learning fun.
Explore how to use a child's interest to enable them to access different areas of the curriculum.
Share ideas and experiences with other participants.
All ideas in the workshop are influenced by what motivates a child. Tapping into the knowledge about a child, thinking about what they are interested in, however unconventional it may seem, will open new ways to communicate.
Thinking outside the box is the key!
'It was really important to help me to relook at non-verbal cues and question behaviour, understand having fun, getting a different perspective and using everyday objects to make things interesting'
'Sue's experience as a parent really contributes to the workshops she runs'
'I am feeling more confident about how to communicate with my child'
