When to bottle craft beer?
Craft beer which is available mostly in kegs is now moving to the retail shelf. A look at some of the compelling reasons.
As the craft beer demand continues to grow, the more successful craft beer produces have a happy dilemma when growing organically, is moving on from the first phase when the start-up microbrewery only kegs the beer to bottling beers. The margins created by retailing your beer instead of selling it wholesale have sustained the growth of microbreweries. This successful approach has succeeded in generating phenomenal growth in the industry.
Wholesaling only has downsides, mainly for those micro breweries that do not have their own direct chain of distribution. Those without direct distribution have struggled in the past and are the micro breweries most likely to disappear. Microbreweries without their own direct outlets are those that have tended to fail first over the years. The need to have a substantial distribution network was recognised immediately for example by BrewDog in Scotland, and Whitewater Brewery in Northern Ireland.
The important initial capital outlay required to open a microbrewery needs a rapid growth of sales and margins to sustain the business. You have to have a guaranteed high margin from your own distribution from the very start, or you will need deep pockets to sustain the start up from zero. Many of your clients will also want to enjoy their favourite beer at home or on a picnic. And you need to serve them, or they will buy their tipple from the competition. Therefore you need to satisfy this type of consumption by offering bottled beer, pretty soon after starting your brewery. Initially the quantities to be bottled are relatively modest – maybe only 500 or 1000 bottles at a time for each of your various recipes. Initially, therefore, the easy way, although an expensive way, is to contract bottle outside the premises. This seems the way to go. Contract bottling has many disadvantages and could eat into your margins because of extra logistics cost and scheduling. In-house bottling could be the solution. Bottling in-house requires generally more money than anticipated.
More and more fancy craft beer is also showing up in aluminum cans. Five years ago, just a few dozen craft brewers in the U.S. were canning, while today there are more than 500. The beer in a can cools faster. The can protects from beer-degrading light. Beer cans are portable and take up less space, advantages both for retailers and for consumers who want to take them camping, hiking or fishing. There's also more space on a can for wraparound design and decoration.
While glass bottles take longer to cool down, they also stay cold longer once they come out of the cooler. Plus, glass producers and plenty of brewers will tell you translucent amber glass has been working fine to protect beer from light and air. The biggest selling point for the bottle, though, is flavour. There's at least a perception that cans impart a metallic taste, whereas liquid stored in a bottle comes out tasting pure. The metal touching your lips is still a factor in terms of flavour, but most craft brewers suggest pouring out beer into a glass before sipping, whatever package it comes in. It may be coolness, or it may be convenience, but the bottom line is, cans are getting cheaper. Bottling in-house remains a simpler, cheaper process. The Brewers Association estimates just 3% of craft beer on the shelves is in a can. Sixty percent still goes out in bottles, and the rest is sold in kegs. Glass has been a very reliable package and tradition will prove itself well that glass is not going anywhere.
In India quite a few microbreweries plan to launch bottled beer brands to cash in on rising demand for India's craft beer. So far, India has seen just a few craft beer brands such as Bira, White Owl and Simba, sold off shelves despite nearly 170 microbreweries that opened over the past decade. Karnataka government does not allow brewpubs to distribute in-house beer and are permitted to produce a maximum of just 1000 litres a day. Windmills Craftworks will start producing cans of craft beer from their newly-acquired 2000-litre production brewery in Goa. India's craft beer industry accounts for 2-3% of the country's beer market which is largely skewed towards the stronger version. The surge of interest in craft beer has been driven by millennials, many particularly interested in this form of beer that is more authentic, premium and has a complex flavour compared to regular lager sold by MNCs.
But making and selling craft beer at a larger scale isn't easy. Besides licenses and distribution, brewpubs have to wrestle with cold chain supply infrastructure, short shelf-life of craft beer and smaller budgets compared to United Breweries, Ab InBev and and Carlsberg that together control 90% of the market. As a result, many are planning to roll out variants such as hefeweizen, stout and light golden ale – that can survive better in these tough conditions. And some are opting for pricier cans to package their products instead of glass bottles. Cans are lighter, unbreakable, carry more branding information, have little oxygen uptake and do not allow light to enter easily, unlike bottles. International craft beer brands can collaborate and set up bottling plants in India to retail now. Big commercial beer brands are also waiting, and will hop on the craft brewery segment in the next two-three years. Perhaps herein lies the opportunity for Praj, Krones, Alfa Laval and KHS.

Scotch Whisky makes strong Economic Impact
With the Brexit debate dominating British politics, the fate of Scotch, the money spinner for Scotland will be closely watched.
The Scotch Whisky industry is strategically important to the economies of Scotland and the United Kingdom. This report – building on work by the Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) – explores Scotch Whisky's direct contribution to GVA, international trade, employment, supply chain and revenue through excise duty. The contribution of the Scotch Whisky industry to the UK economy has grown by 10% since 2016 to £5.5bn.
A new report by the Scotch Whisky Association, building on research carried out by the Centre for Economic and Business Research (CEBR), also reveals Scotland's national drink generates two-thirds of all spirits Gross Value Added (GVA) in the UK. The industry has been buoyed in recent years by record exports, reaching £4.7bn in 2018, and several new distilleries beginning production and opening their doors to tourists.
This success comes despite the industry continuing to pay the fourth highest duty rates in the EU, and one of the highest of spirit producing nations globally. Recent freezes to UK duty have helped the industry to reinforce its vital importance to the UK economy. Karen Betts, Chief Executive of the SWA, said:"This research shows the huge contribution that our industry plays to both the Scottish and UK economies.
"Significantly, the research shows that our industry's GVA increased by 10% to £5.5bn between 2016 and 2018, as a result of Scotch Whisky companies' continued export success and the industry's consistent investment – over £500 million in the last 5 years – in production, distribution, marketing and tourism.
"Despite the challenges of Brexit, this is investment that continues to flow, with more projects planned and more distilleries set to open – a sign that the Scotch Whisky industry remains confident about the future. This is great news for our many employees, our investors, supply chain and, of course, for our consumers all over the world, who love Scotch. "This report also highlights the high rate of domestic tax that Scotch Whisky faces in the UK. In the US, Scotch and other whiskies are taxed at just 27% of the rate that HM Treasury taxes us here at home. We will continue to press the Chancellor for fairer treatment of Scotch Whisky in our domestic market, which reflects the vital economic contribution the thousands of people who work in whisky make to the UK economy every day."
Scotch Whisky provides £3.8bn in direct in GVA to Scotland – helped by regulations in place that requires all Scotch Whisky to be distilled and matured for at least three years in Scotland. This means Scotch Whisky contributes more than double than life sciences (£1.5bn) to the Scottish economy, supporting more than 42,000 jobs across the UK, including 10,500 people directly in Scotland, and 7,000 in rural communities.
The sector was found to perform a crucial role in driving productivity across Scotland. The manufacturer of beverages in Scotland – dominated by Scotch – produces £210,505 GVA per employee. Comparatively, the industry is more productive than the energy sector (including renewables) at £173,511 per head, life sciences at £93,735 per head, and creative industries at £60,712 per head.
Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury Robert Jenrick MP said: "I'm delighted to see how this important sector is thriving. "We are supporting the Scotch whisky success story by freezing duty on spirits again this year. "Our record of reductions and freezes to alcohol duties have provided more than £4bn of support to the drinks sector here in the UK." Rural Economy Secretary Fergus Ewing MSP said: "I welcome the contribution that the Scotch Whisky industry makes to the Scottish Economy. "The industry's performance is testament to the hard work of those who work in this important sector, making Scotch Whisky one of Scotland's greatest global exports."

The Way Forward For India And The Alcobev Industry
While captains of industry welcome the new government and are hopeful of industry friendly policies, they are also looking at sustainable growth for the future. The alcobev industry has sputtered along in spurts and jerks. With a new government in place, the industry is hopeful of new impetus for growth.
"A stable government is indeed welcome for the nation and economy. We hope that the new government will reinforce its progressive policies towards the industry, and usher in the next phase of reforms to promote ease of doing business and 'Making in India'. We also look towards the Federal government to encourage states to urgently bring comprehensive regulatory reform into key state- GDP contributing sectors such as alcoholic beverages," says, Anand Kripalu, Managing Director and CEO, Diageo India.
The beer industry has its fair share of challenges. And with the competition heating up and input prices rising it is becoming difficult to invest in growth. "With a strong mandate that the government has received, we look forward to sustained reforms that will spur further growth in the economy. We also look forward to continued emphasis on ease of doing business," says Shekhar Ramamurthy, Managing Director, United Breweries Ltd.
ABD in its new avatar, has discovered growth in volumes and is now translating it in to value by creating millionaire brands of its premium brands. The elections and the policies will be closely watched. Will Bihar lift prohibition under the new government? That is perhaps the question on the lips of all marketers.
"It is indeed a blessing that India has elected a strong and stable Goverment and I look forward to more structural reforms so that India can continue on a strong growth trajectory with gainful employment for all its citizens. I also expect the federal goverment to build consensus amongst all states to include potable alcohol in GST," said Deepak Roy, ABD Vice Chairman.
Plagued by high taxes, both Central and State, the Indian alcobev industry is struggling to find the way forward. Some years ago it was the number game and companies like USL managed to cross the 100 million cases mark and brands like Officer's Choice crossed the 30 million cases mark. But those numbers did not translate into profits and only companies like Pernod Ricard consistently remained in the black. But now companies are scaling down their volumes where the margins are thinner, introducing premium brands and focussing on profits. Diageo is working to get consumers to 'premiumise'. The company is working to taking a long term view and creating business value. The history associated with Diageo's iconic brands, too, bears testimony to such far-sightedness.
However, despite all the challenges in the Indian alcobev industry, Radico has managed to do well, particularly after the opening of the UP market. They have also successfully launched 8 PM Premium Black followed by a big media blitz. Even Magic Moments is maintaining its leadership position backed by heavy advertising on TV channels.
While congratulating on the grand come back of PM Narendra Modi, Dr. Lalit Khaitan, Chairman of Radico Khaitan Ltd. says, "The voters have endorsed Modi's decisive leadership, his ability to take the country from red tape to red carpet, his government's multiple schemes to pull out millions from abject poverty and provide them essential services like electricity, cooking gas, bank accounts and free health services."
Whereas down South KALS Group has been growing very fast particularly after acquiring Imperial and introducing more products like Sparta and so on. It is aspiring to expand to other markets beyond South and has chalked out long term plans.
KALS CMD Mr.S Vasudevan says on the historic victory of the NDA government, "I wish our Honourable Prime Minister Mr. Modi for his impeccable victory. This is a well-deserved victory for transforming our nation in terms of controls, governance, and GDP growth. I personally look forward to having reforms in the IMFL Industry as well that contributes significant revenue to the respective states. I wish the new government all the very best and I'm confident under the leadership of our Honourable PM, India will get into the strides of excellence."
In India Diageo is taking a long term view well emphasised by the purchase of USL for over US$ 3 billion which could create tremendous opportunities for the next 20 to 30 years.
USL added about 5,000 employees to Diageo's global workforce, and it wasn't just about gaining access to a strategically important market. The company's Indian talent pool and its investments in IT and service centres in India serve not just the Indian market, but the group globally. And having overcome the legacy issues associated with the USL acquisition, Diageo claims to have set itself the ambitious target of "changing the alcohol industry in India". Much of that effort revolves around a campaign to inculcate the spirit of 'responsible drinking', which translates into reinforcing moderation, and in promoting road safety in collaboration with State governments.
And the way Diageo hopes to make the transformation in India is to "premiumise" the business by inducing consumers not to "drink more", but to "drink better", by moving to up-scale brands. That has also seen it franchise out some of the lower-end brands it acquired along with USL, and renovate its brands.
Companies like Pernod Ricard has had a sound strategy in place as well. Not only most of its brands are millionaire brands but they enjoy good margins and the company has consistently delivered profits over the years.
But the company too has suffered from disruptions and would like more business friendly policies. Says Guillaume Girard-Reydet, Managing Director, Pernod Ricard India, "The people of India have exhibited with full clarity, their confidence in stability and progress in current reforms. I encourage this government to continue the momentum on reforms in the economy, to increase ease of doing business and comprehensive regulations enabling best growth for India."
Pernod Ricard launched recently its 2030 'Sustainability & Responsibility' roadmap as part of the Group's strategic plan to 'Transform & Accelerate'. This roadmap sets out 8 ambitious and concrete 2030 targets supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which was unveiled at the Martell Cognac distillery in France. The Group is taking bold next steps in addressing both environmental topics, to preserve the terroirs its products come from, and social responsibility, in particular by accelerating the fight against alcohol misuse.
Scotch Whisky Association is also looking at a long term boost to its business value. It has drawn up plans till 2050.
Mumbaikars appear to be more discerning about their alcohol now than they were seven years ago. Consumption of hard, and, at times, spurious, country liquor has barely increased, but the tribe of wine-drinkers has risen by over 67% in the seven-year period.
Consumption of country liquor (CL) increased only 5.7% in this period, prompting experts to say that people with lower income who opt for it have controlled their drinking habit. However, those preferring the costlier IMFLs have increased by almost 30%, show the seven-year data. The consumption of the 'safe' option – beer – has only increased by 6% in this period. Beer and wine have less chemical spirit (up to 17%) content than IMFL and CL (which have up to 44%).
"People go for IMFL and CL or may be a mix for a better and quicker kick. But since the chemical spirit is higher in both of them, there are chances of them adversely affecting a patron's health. It's hence a worrying sign that Mumbaikars are increasingly drinking more IMFL than beer," said an expert who works for the de-addiction campaign.
Excise duty on beer has made prices similar to that of IMFL. This, experts say, comes as a major discouragement for those who want to switch over to liquors with lesser pure spirits. On the contrary, countries in the West and a few in Asia like China encourage beer to ensure minimal damage to the health of regular drinkers, by offering cheaper pricing.
Between 2010 and 2017, alcohol consumption in India increased by 38% from 4.3 to 5.9 litre per adult per year, said the researchers. In the same time, consumption in the US (9.3-9.8 litres) and in China (7.1-7.4 litres) increased marginally.

Sula Vineyards crushes over 50% more Grapes in Harvest 2019 compared to 2018
Sula Vineyards crushed a total of over 9,000 tonnes of wine grapes in FY 2019-20, which is about 50% more than what was crushed by the company in FY 2018-19. According to the company, this was possible due to a decent monsoon and following conducive weather conditions for cultivating wine grapes. These figures are expected to help Sula cross its own record-breaking 2018 sales, over 1 million cases world-wide.
Chief Winemaker, Senior Vice President – Vineyard and Winery Operations Karan Vasani elaborated on the Harvest events: "This year, the distribution amongst the varietals was around 55% of red variety grapes and 45% of white grapes crushed. Most of the grapes are crushed and processed in Nashik and Southern parts of Maharashtra although some harvesting and crushing are also done in Karnataka for the wines to be made and sold in Karnataka by Sula Vineyards under its brand Kadu."
While 2019 was positive for grape-growing conditions, the weather may be indicative of the impacts of climate change. The harvest was slightly delayed this year, starting in mid-December and went on till the first week of April.
"Wine-making is such an old process, the challenges will alw
ays be the weather," explains Founder and CEO of Sula Vineyards Rajeev Samant. "Our planet is in danger and our priority needs to be our impact on the environment. There is lots of waste generated by the traditional production and crushing process. Instead, we use every part of the grape, from seed to skin. After the grape juice is extracted the seeds are used to make grapeseed oil and the remaining mulch becomes compost for our vines," he explains. Sula Vineyards is committed to protecting India for the future by planting more and more trees.
Sula is also cultivating additional land across Maharashtra and Karnataka, giving a boost to the agri sector. Sula planted 360 acres in 2018 and will plant an additional 340 in 2019. This will take their total area under wine grape plantations to about 3000 acres which will also add to the rural employment numbers. Today, almost 510 farmers from Maharashtra and Karnataka are working with Sula with assured buy back contracts.
In general, Maharashtra saw a bumper grape harvest this season with figures from Nashik district, the heart of India's grape region, crossing 1.43 lakh tonnes of grapes. About 2% of these grapes are wine grapes. However, except for 2017 when the highway liquor ban was put in motion, the Indian wine industry has recorded a steady growth in CAGR, which means that more and more Indians are drinking wine, in many cases switching away from hard liquor.

Ilmater
(pronounced ihl-MAY-ter)
The Crying God, the Broken God, the Lord of the Rack, the One Who Endures
Faerûn
Quick Descriptions:
Ilmater is a short, burly, balding male, wearing only a breechcloth. His body looks to have been badly mutilated by punishment and torture, and walks with a limp. Despite his appearance, he has a kind, homely face that is warm and comforting.
Ilmater's temple is a moderate-sized complex surrounded with a 6ft wall of red brick. The entrance is an archway with solid wooden doors. Inside is a large courtyard, leading to a central chapel, is a wooden stable and garden to the right, with a rectory and a small hospital to the left. The edges of the courtyard are adorned with various statues of Ilmater's giving saints. The chapel is a two-story brick structure with a central tower. The interiors has several rows of wooden benches, with a central aisle leading to a dias near the back. On the dias is a large stone altar. Behind the altar is a mural of Ilmater's faithful aiding people.
Ilmater's priest is a humble middle-age gentleman. He has shaggy gray hair, and rough stubble on his chin. He is wearing a dark gray robe with a lighter gray tabbard featuring Ilmater's symbol (pair of white hands bound at the wrists with a red cord). He has a set of medical tools and potions strapped to his leather belt.
ADVERTISING - PLEASE SUPPORT THIS SITE
Ilmater is the god of those who suffer, the oppressed, and the persecuted - He offers them relief and support, encourages them to endure, and who encourages others to help them, take their burdens or take their places. His portfolio includes endurance, martyrdom, perseverance, and suffering. Ilmater is a gentle, good-spirited, even-tempered deity who willingly shoulders the burdens of a long-suffering world.
Although he is low to anger, the wrath of the Broken Deity is terrible in the face of extreme cruelty or atrocities. When his avatar appears, he takes assaults upon his person passively and rarely lifts a hand against another. He is not totally nonviolent, though, as many often assume by his doctrine of endurance. When facing cruelties and atrocities his rage can boil up, and then he is a figure of frighteningly righteous wrath. He takes great care to reassure and protect children and young creatures, and he takes exceptional offense at those who would harm them.
To the Iulutiun people of the Great Glacier, he was known as Ayuruk, and to the Angulutiun people he is Itishikopak.
Worshipers, Clergy & Temples
Misunderstood by most, and often pitied, the church of Ilmater still has one of the largest and most faithful followings in Faerûn. In a cruel world, the suffering, the sick, and the poor have come to rely only on the Crying God's followers to provide succor to all. The church of Ilmater is widely loved by common folk in settled lands everywhere, and its clergy can count on generous support in their lifelong mission of healing.
The followers of Ilmater are often perceived as being intentional sufferers, but in reality they concentrate a lot of effort on providing proper treatment and healing to those who have been hurt. To a vocal minority, the church is scorned. Among those who hate weakness, the church of the Crying God is seen as weak and foolhardy—cruel tyrants and powerful villains alike dangerously underestimate its members.
Ilmatari share what they have with those in need and always take time to counsel those who are upset and care for the injured. Ilmatari speak for the oppressed, guide the lost, feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, and gather herbs and make medicines at all times for disasters to come. They bury the dead, treat the diseased, and give food, drink, and firewood to the poor. They see life as sacred and suffering as holy, but they do not stand in the way of others' desires or condemn them for their chosen path. When war is expected and time permits, clerics of Ilmater gather in strength with litters, shovels, tents, splints, bandages by the cartload, and wagons of medicines and healing potions to tend those who will soon suffer. They also tour the wealthier cities and settlements of Faerûn soliciting money to support the church. Many clerics learn alchemy so that they can help those beyond their immediate reach.
Few priests of Ilmater are soldiers, and fewer still are merchants, but they do outstrip all other priesthoods in the size, number, and level of treatment in the many infirmaries and leper sanctuaries they maintain. From their inception into the priesthood, Ilmatari are trained in the recognition and treatment of all known disease, injuries, and conditions; senior priests have had prepared detailed programmed illusions to show beings in various stages of harm. An Ilmatari priest who has been shown these could, for instance, recognize a human infested with rot grubs at a glance.
The process of joining the clergy of Ilmater is simple: A novice enjoys a gentle walk and talk with a senior priest, during which they talk and explore the novice's views of life. They then dine and the novice is (knowingly) given a wine taht puts him or her into a gentle trance where various clergy and wizards friendly to the faith can easily employ mind-scrying spells to thoroughly explore the novice's true feelings, loyalties, and aims. If no dedication to evil or precluding religious or secular loyalties are found, the novice is accepted and adorned with the simple robes of Ilmater (this cautious practice was instituted because so many folk in the past have posed as willing entrants into the Ilmatari just to learn their medicines and lore, and then stolen away with as many medical supplies as they could).
Ilmatari wear a solid gray tunic, tabard, and trousers, or gray robes. They wear skullcaps in gray (most clergy members) or red (senior clerics). Novices who have not yet been adorned wear no skullcaps. The symbol of Ilmater is worn as a pin over the heart or on a chain around the neck and serves as a holy symbol. Some of the older members of the faith have a gray teardrop tattooed to one side of their right or left eye.
In the field or on quests, Ilmatari priests dress appropriately for the mission and the weather, but usually wear gray tabards decorated with Ilmater's symbol stitched on the chest near the left shoulder over any other clothing or armor they wear. They are never without their holy symbols and a satchel of medicines, bandages, salves, splints, and slings.
The Adorned, as the clerics and monks of Ilmater are known, are organized in an informal hierarchy centered on the leader of a large temple, abbey, or monastery to whom the Ilmatari of the region report. All the Adorned are priests, but no titles are commonly used in the clergy except Brother and Sister. For senior clergy, Revered is added to this, and for the heads of temples, abbeys, and monasteries dedicated to the Crying God, Father and Mother are used. So, for example, the head of the Towers of Willful Suffering, the abbey to Ilmater in Eshpurta, is known as Revered Mother of the House Heldatha Dhussta.
Abbeys and monasteries are usually tied to specific temples, often adding a second tier in the informal hierarchy. There is no one pontiff of the faith or governing body, although the senior clergy come together for informal conclaves on occasion. Although most monks dwell separate from the church in monasteries or abbeys, some reside in Ilmatari temples as teachers or defenders.
Temples of Ilmater are typically located in the countryside along major routes, serving as waystations for weary travelers. Most are named for an Ilmatari saint, of which there are many. Most are manors of a sort, with protective walls around at least a chapel, chapter house, stable, and garden. Many have facilities dedicated to the care of the sick and injured. Others contain libraries, monks' quarters separate from the chapter house, or barracks for an affiliated knightly order.
Clerics of Ilmater pray for spells in the morning, although they still have to ritually pray to Ilmater at least six times a day.
They have no annual holy days, but occasionally a cleric calls for a Plea of Rest. This allows him or her a tenday of respite from Ilmater's dictates, to prevent emotional exhaustion or allow the cleric to do something Ilmater would normally frown upon. This custom is an established tradition that some leaders of the faith rely upon, sending their best fighting clergy out to do things that the church cannot otherwise accomplish (covertly removing a tyrant rather than confronting him openly, for example).
The most important ritual is the Turning: It is the duty of every cleric of Ilmater to convince the dying to turn to Ilmater for comfort, receiving the blessing of the Broken God before they expire (this deathbed prayer does not change the person's patron deity to Ilmater). As the veneration of Ilmater grows, even in death, his healing power becomes greater.
Ilmater's church has several affiliated knightly orders of paladins and warriors, including the Companions of the Noble Heart, the Holy Warriors of Suffering, the Order of the Golden Cup, and the Order of the Lambent Rose.
Monastic orders are also numerous, and include the Disciple of St. Sollars the Twice-Martyred, whose most famous facility, the Monastery of the Yellow Rose, is located in Damara, high up in the Earthspurs near the Glacier of the White Worm (monks of this monastery specialize in genealogical studies). Other Ilmatari monastic orders include the Followers of the Unhindered Path, the Disciples of St. Morgan the Taciturn, the Sisters of St. Jasper of the Rocks. Most Ilmatari monasteries traditionally are named after flowers that symbolize something of significance to the order, though this is not mandated.
One group of Ilmatari monks, the Broken Ones, acts as defenders of the faithful and the church's temples, as well as agents of punishment for those who cruelly harm others. These monks can multiclass freely as clerics.
Help all who hurt, no matter who they are. The truly holy take on the suffering of others. If you suffer in his name, Ilmater is there to support you. Stick to your cause if it is right, whatever the pain or peril. There is no shame in a meaningful death. Stand up to all tyrants, and allow no injustice to go unchallenged. Emphasize the spiritual nature of life over the existence of the material body.
Appearance, Manifestations
The Crying God appears as a man whose body has been badly mutilated by punishment on the rack, crisscrossed with marks of torture and having broken and ravaged joints. He is short, burly, balding, and wears only a breechcloth, but his kind, homely face is warm and comforting.
Relationships & History
Ilmater is an older deity who has long been associated with Tyr (his superior) and Torm, who together they are known as the Triad. The Triad work together closely, for in union they are stronger than as individuals. Ilmater is also allied with Lathander. He opposes deities who enjoy destruction and causing pain and hardship for others, particularly Loviatar and Talona, whose natures are diametrically opposed to his own. Other foes include Bane, Garagos, Malar, Shar, and Talos.

Self-laundering and the impact on a company's model of organisation, management and control
April 2014 | EXPERT BRIEFING | FRAUD & CORRUPTION
financierworldwide.com
In recent years issues around money laundering and the reuse of 'dirty money' have intensified due to their impact on the market and on free economic development.
The Italian Legislator has introduced a regulatory system based on double-track provisions providing for, on the one hand, criminal measures with repressive purposes and, on the other hand, preventive measures contained in the Legislative Decree no. 231/2007, aimed at introducing obligations to cooperate in respect of those persons who, due to their activities, are more exposed to money laundering phenomena.
On the repressive side, money laundering crime (pursuant to article 648 bis of the Penal Code) punishes with imprisonment from four to 12 years and a fine ranging from €1,032 to €15,493, those who, apart from cases of complicity in the crime, exchange or transfer the proceeds of the crime or carry out operations suitable to hinder the identification of the criminal origin. The current provision is devoid of the previous exhaustive list of crimes and involves new conducts which provide for punishing, essentially, any conduct liable to hinder the identification of the proceeds of the crime.
According to the expression contained in article 648 bis of the Penal Code (i.e., 'apart from cases of complicity in the crime'), the person acting in the crime from which the utilities derive and those who have been complicit – in moral or material terms – in the crime, are not punished. This exclusion of criminal liability is due to the theory that describes the behaviour of the persons concealing the proceeds of the crime as a natural consequence of the crime which, therefore, being a simple post factum, is not punishable. According to this approach, punishing those activities carried out by the perpetrator of the crime, whose purpose is to benefit from the proceeds, would be a duplication of the penalties referring to the same fact, in breach of the so-called principle ne bis in idem. In other words, a self-laundering crime today would not be considered punishable given that it is a normal consequence of the crime and, therefore, such conduct would already be punished when punishing the crime from which the illicit profit derive.
This approach leads to two thoughts. First, if self-laundering should be punishable (e.g., eliminating the expression 'apart from cases of complicity in the crime'), its high penalty would be greater and disproportionate to punishment arising from the crime from which the utilities derive. Second, if the self-laundering post factum is a typical enactment and expression of the underlying or predicate offence, the establishment of an autonomous type of offence would make it a hallmark of any offence against property, thus doubling the offence.
It should be noted that the concept of money laundering contained in art. 2 of the Legislative Decree no. 231/2007 does not provide for the expression contained in article 648 bis of the Penal Code (i.e., 'apart from cases of complicity in the crime') and, therefore, includes self-laundering. However, its regulatory framework is limited to the decree and shall not affect the Penal Code.
In recent years, the European Directives 2005/60/EC, 2006/70/EC, the International Monetary Fund, the OECD, the Bank of Italy and the National Anti-Mafia Prosecutor pressed the Italian government to introduce a self-laundering crime because, like money laundering, it constitutes one of the main channels through which criminal associations conceal the criminal origin of their resources and obtain the economic tools to strengthen their unlawful action.
On the national level, in January 2013 a Committee was established to verify the opportunity to introduce a self-laundering crime, headed by the Prosecutor of Milan, Francesco Greco. Later, in March 2013, the former national anti-Mafia prosecutor, Piero Grasso, filed a bill aimed at introducing a unified case of money laundering and self-laundering. In June 2013, a further Committee was established to work out a regulatory system against organised crime, in particular by providing self-laundering and vote trading.
The common element of such proposals is to create an independent case of money laundering in a separate title of the Penal Code dedicated to crimes against economic and financial order. This would punish, under self-laundering, only fraudulent operations, without punishing persons for conduct intended solely to allow them to benefit from the proceeds of the crime.
Some public prosecutors have argued that the perpetrator of the crime from which utilities derive might be liable for self-laundering to the extent that the conduct has been committed through other persons misled by him, using the figure of the so-called 'mediate author', pursuant to article 48 of the Penal Code (according to which, persons who instruct someone to commit a crime are liable for the crime committed by the person deceived). However, this approach was rejected by the Supreme Court (see Court of Cassation, decision no. 9296 of 27 February 2013), considering irrelevant modes – direct or indirect through a third party – through which the acting author exchanges or transfers the unlawful proceeds.
Article 63 of the Legislative Decree no. 231/2007 has extended company liability for the crime of receiving, laundering and using money, goods or assets of illicit origin by introducing article 25 opties in Legislative Decree no. 231/2001. The involvement of companies in a crime is consistent under a criminal point of view because frequently money laundering operations are disguised by using the company as a screen. The involvement of the company may occur when it places the proceeds of crime into the economic system.
Therefore, the Model of Organization Management and Control (Model) must adopt preventive measure – especially in view of the possible liability of the company in the event that self-laundering is introduced in the Penal Code – commensurate with the nature and size of the organisation and with the kind of activity performed. In this respect, the Model must set procedures for risk assessment and risk management in accordance with the anti-money laundering discipline and carry out customer due diligence (i.e., identifying customers, maintaining records of transactions and reporting suspicious transactions).
Furthermore, the Bank of Italy, in its decision of 24 August 2010 provided a series of 'anomaly indicators' aimed at identifying suspicious transactions. Among such indicators there are those related to customer behavior (e.g., the customer refuses to provide information about his identity, the purpose and nature of the business, or about the economic and financial situation), to the kind of transaction (e.g., the relation is economically disadvantageous or unusual compared with market practice), and to the method of payment (e.g., use of cash, especially a significant amount).
Therefore, in implementing the Model, it should be taken into account that all commercial and financial operations should be appropriately verified to ascertain the possibility of crimes of money laundering, the customer's identify and the origin of the goods, to ensure traceability of financial and commercial relations with third parties.
This involves obligations to disclose and report suspicious behaviour to corporate bodies such as the board of directors and audit committee. In this respect, a key role is played by the Supervisory Body (OdV) which must monitor activities related to sensitive processes and identify atypical financial flows. Moreover, failure of the OdV to report such information to the competent authorities listed in Legislative Decree no. 231/2007 entails criminal liability pursuant to art. 55 of Legislative Decree no. 231/2007, with imprisonment up to one year and a fine ranging from €100 to €1000.

Bitcoin Gold Floods Coffers of Finnish Pirate Party
Following its 2015 election bid, the Pirate Party of Finland has revealed unprecedented Bitcoin support since its initial decision to accept the cryptocurrency for its campaign.
The party, whose aims include wider use of Bitcoin at state level, was unexpectedly inundated with donations following a blog post by member Janne Paalijärvi on Finland's main exchange Bittiraha in March.
Despite the April elections having come to a close on Sunday, almost 5,000 euros worth of BTC was deposited in the party's wallet following publication, making for a total of 10,000 EUR for 2015. In contrast, donations from all channels for 2014 came to 4,000 EUR, a press release issued today states. Paalijärvi wrote in a follow-up post:
"We were positively surprised by the considerable electoral donations, but despite this now is not the time for showing off."
He added that the funds would be used to further the party's campaign work.
Finnish election rules state that parties may not accept more than 1,500 EUR in anonymous donations per year. However, since Bitcoin is not officially recognized, nor has been explicitly mentioned in the ruling, the party's donations are presently something of a gray area and a cause for legal concerns.
While the Pirates remain the largest party in Finland outside parliament following the weekend's elections, its young age compared to many of the other parties coupled with the impressive funding demonstrates an interest in radical innovation, which is swiftly marking Finland out as a land of opportunity.
The country's open stance on bitcoin trading, as well as its tax-free VAT policy, have helped ensure a lively infrastructure including BTMs and even a well-documented revival of physical bitcoins in addition to names such as Bittiraha.
Official feedback from the Pirates meanwhile, following the end of the campaign, is still forthcoming, with official election statistics due to be published April 30.

Many of you know that for the past 7 years (holy cow) I have posted a list of unreasonable goals to complete over the course of the year. I started it back when I was 29, and I called it 'The 30 List'. I am now way over 30. Each year I list off a bunch of stuff I want to achieve, some difficult, with some 'ringers' tossed in for good measure. I aim for at least 30, but cap it at whatever age I am. Anyhow, that's a long explanation.
2014 was the best year ever in terms of completing goals. Personally, it was one of the worst years of my life, but this post is about goals! I consider my list a success if I hit 30%, this year I was at over 50%. I'm pretty impressed with myself. I was able to cross things off the list that have been on there for years. Things like: Complete Dynamic Dirt Challenge! and Install Veggie Garden! and Get a Compost Bin! These goals had floated from list to list year after year, and now they are done. 2015 I've stuck to a lot of my old faves, such as '12 books' and '12 movies' as well as added some new ones, '10 minute mile'.
This year, for something completely new, I would like to invite you, my blog readers, to complete some of these goals with me! I mean, if you want to. Totally up to you. One in particular that you all might like is the 52 week Reddit Cooking Challenge. I would also really love it if some of you would like to share what you're reading with me, maybe we could do a book club or something? Or not?Knitting and sewing projects? Yes? Let me know what you think. I want to be more connected with people this year, and not on Facebook. More on that later.
I really, really cross my heart, plan on expanding and updating this space a lot more this year. I also plan on sharing more horrible photos with you! No really, I'm a terrible photographer. go look at my instagram.

April 17, 2017 By justmovingaround in Sightseeing Tags: blogging, cooljapan, Great Buddha, Japan, Nara, Sightseeing, temple, travel, traveling, travelingjapan
A couple of days ago, I joined yet another network feed that relies entirely on photographs. And, I quickly discovered functionality that with one click tests any photo on repeatability with those made by others. The test, which I promptly named 'my Pinterest test' is as revealing and blunt as it only can be. Any even original shot depicting a popular tourist attraction has its numerous duplicates on the Web. As there are some thumb rules on a photograph geometry, the layouts are repeatable, too.
In the copy and paste world, the repeatability is also true for web entries. For years I was tutoring students in writing their final papers before graduation. Copy and paste practice became a serious problem with emerging of the World Wide Web. There was a moment we were even equipped with software helping us to pick any kind of piracy in our students' texts. When prepping this entry, which is a note on a visit to a place that is on the absolutely must-see list in Japan, I found numerous blog and web entries repeating the same information. With long-term practice in picking too long passages of exactly the same wording, I am sure I saw much copy and paste work here and there. I must say, however, I found one or two blog entries, where the authors did an excellent job (chapeau bas).
Now I stand before a travel blogger's dilemma. I was to a place well described by all possible Internet resources. My photos do not hold the Pinterest test (are fully repeatable with those by many other photographers and bloggers). Yet the place is that kind of impressive that I want to write about that I saw. And I do not necessarily want to repeat all that what I read the last couple of hours on the Internet.
The place is Nara, a small town but also a province quite close to Kyoto, which was a location of seven temples famous for the Japanese Buddhist teachings. That time the province was the official seat of the Japanese emperors. Those were times as the Japanese emperor had real power. In later periods the actual power was with the shogun, who was the chief military, whereas the emperor had a symbolic role instead. And all of these happened already one thousand and two hundred years ago in the VIII century.
For different reasons that may be altogether summed up as a desire for divine protection, a big statue of Buddha was cast. The process took years, was labor-intensive and costly, and depleted the country's bronze resources. The statue was partially recast a couple of times, but still, much of its structure is older than the oldest Gothic cathedrals in Europe! And it is told to be the biggest bronze statue of Buddha in the world. The statue was placed in a big wooden hall in the Tōdai-Ji temple, the so-called Great Buddha Hall. As in Japan, many old wooden buildings were destroyed by fire, earthquakes, or other disasters, the current structure, like many others, is not the original one. But still, it is more than three hundred years old. It is smaller than its predecessor. Still, until not a long time ago, it was classified as the biggest wooden building in the world. (It was dethroned in the late XX century by an American football stadium in Northern Japan). The (existing) main gate you have to cross to get to the temple area, the so-called Great South Gate, is even older than the existing Buddha hall. It was constructed in the XII century. If I had to look for a comparable site in Europe I saw recently in terms of age and symbolism (with of course a different religious context) I would point out the Mount Saint Michel monastery (>>>), that also origins in the VIII century. Besides the Great Buddha, there are at least six (to my recollection) other impressive statues of figures traditional for the Buddhist temples in the Tōdai-Ji temple complex. Two are at the Great South Gate and four inside the Great Hall.
But Nara is famous for yet another thing that brings much fun for visitors. It is 1,200 deers walking freely around the park complex (that covers quite a huge area), but also the surrounding streets. Deers are accustomed to people, which is a genuinely great and pleasant experience. Imagine a group of people and a group of deers together crossing a street on a zebra.
The Nara deers have a divine status. There were even times as harming them was punishable by death.
There are many stands in the park where you can buy particular kinds of wafers, with which it is allowed to feed the deers. The stands belong to the authorities managing the complex. The feeding is hence fully legal, provided you use those wafers and not other food. But once you have the crackers in your hand, you will have a few deers around you keen to catch apiece. Much fun is guaranteed, but watch your hands against bites.
To get to the Tōdai-Ji temple from the Nara railway station, we can either walk a street or cross the park area. I would recommend the park because of the deer experience. To get to the temple area, we have to cross the Great South Gate. Crossing the gate do not forget the two figures that stand inside the corners, even if they are ring-fenced by a dense net. They are crucial to the Buddhist traditions. The figures called Nio, are ugly and muscled. According to one of the legends Nio used to follow Buddha and protected him. Those in the gate were carved in the XII century.
The southern gate is the first stop on the way to the temple complex. Behind it, there is a lake (Japanese: ponds) full of carps. Most of them are grey, but some are orange /gold. Carps are a vital part of the Japanese symbolism. They can get upstream, a feature that is treated as a sign of strength and vitality, and some other virtues. As far as I can recall in each of the temple complexes we visited in Japan, there where were ponds it was full of carps.
The next stop is yet another gate. It is not open in front. To buy the entry ticket and enter the complex, you go to a door on its left-hand side. The exit is at its right side. Close to the exits, there are souvenir stands. I quite rarely look for souvenirs, but to my recollection, the stands there had quite an interesting offer.
Below the upfront view onto the Great Buddha Hall. I did this photo standing with my back to the middle of the gate on the upper picture.
All Japanese temples, no matter Buddhist (came to Japan from continental Asia) or Shinto (indigenous Japanese religion or rather belief system) is equipped with a symbolic cleansing facility. The cleansing may happen through the usage of water, fumes, sand, etc. In Tōdai-Ji this is a fuming ritual.
And finally, the Great Buddha. The statue is of bronze, the seat is of gold. The temple web page states that some parts of the Buddha were x-rayed. Several artifacts, things that probably belonged to the emperor that commissioned the cast were seemingly melted into one of the knees.
To his left, a smaller Buddha statue. Yet another one is located to the right.
After paying respect to Buddha, lighting a candle, the visitors are guided to take a route around inside of the Great Hall. Of things interesting to me were two statues of the Great Hall guardians. The one on the picture below is called Komokuten. Secondly, there were several small wooden models on display showing the previous layouts of the temple complex, including pagodas (tiered towers), that were not rebuilt after the original buildings were destroyed. Kids may go through a hole in the bottom of one of the pillars that support the Great Hall. This should provide them with a prosperous life. Finally, as in many temples around Japan, you can buy there various kinds of charms and religious accessories. These will be luck charms in the form of protective amulets, wooden votive plaques that you hang on special stands, or fortune-telling pieces (rolls of paper) that you take home when the telling is positive, and leave in the temple when it is negative (>>>).
We visited Japan without a guide, and I think in most places we saw a guided tour was not necessary. But if I had to revisit Nara, I would book a guide to listen to historical and religious explanations.

Stirling Castle was a seat of Scottish kings (see map). It was built originally in the XIIth century. Throughout history, during the Scottish wars of independence, it fell many times into English hands. Once, it was retaken in a battle led by William Wallace, a Scottish hero (played by Mel Gibson in Braveheart). Sometime later by Robert the Bruce. The latter was the Scottish king, the one, who in fact was nicknamed the Braveheart. Contrary to historical annals, in the film, it was William Wallace, not Robert the Bruce called by this name.
The William Wallace monument seen from over the walls of the Stirling Castle
The castle as we can admire it today was constructed in XVth, XVIth, XVIIth and early XVIIIth century by successful additions of new premises inside and outside the castle defensive walls. It was mostly in times as it served as the Scottish royal residence.
Later on, the Stirling castle served as an army barrack and a military depot. From the mid-XXth century, much effort had been given to restore the interiors so that they can provide at least a grasp of medieval life. The restored chambers have been opened since 2011.
The internal yard of the Stirling Castle
I must say I enjoyed the sightseeing in Stirling Castle very much. Usually, when visiting castles, you are let in, and go along a predefined route, with no return possibilities. Stirling is organized more openly. You can enjoy it outdoors as well as indoors, freely moving around. Of course, in royal chambers, you follow a defined route entering by one door and leaving by another. By you can return to previous chambers if you want to. It is also possible to make the route once again as the order, in which you visit the castle premises is up to you.
The Stirling castle exteriors
Of the interiors, you can visit the royal lodgings. The chambers are restored, but only a few of them contain furniture so that you can see how it was in the past. Besides the furniture, you can admire hand-woven tapestries. This is not the originals. Still, they had been reconstructed recently to recapture the atmosphere of the Scottish royal court.
During our visit, there were at least three guides inside, each working in another chamber, wearing dedicated clothing and patiently answering questions asked by visitors.
The royal lodgings
The part of the building, where the royal lodgings are located, was turned into a small museum showing not only the history of the castle but also giving insights into the history of Scotland.
A part of the castle I found interesting was the kitchen, fully equipped, with wax figures and food replicas. We arrived at the Stirling castle in the very morning to enter among the first groups on the opening. I left my fellows and somehow found my way to the kitchens. I had around twenty minutes being alone there, so making clean photos was quite easy. Later in royal chambers, taking clean photos turned out to be difficult as the chambers were full of visitors.

Q: Using jQuery: How can a value be updated to match an elements visibility? How to update a value based on an elements visibility?
HTML

CLICK ME

CONTENT

    <input type="text"></input>

NOTE: This code block is duplicate several times.

JQUERY
I realise I can accompplish this using jquery :visible selector.
//Find clicked element
$('.Wrap').find('.Btn').click(function () {
  //Find next element named...
  var $body = $(this).siblings('.Body').slideToggle('fast');
  //Show /Hide
  $('.Body').not($body).slideUp('fast');

  //Find if element is visible
  var value = $(this).siblings('.Body').is(':visible');
  //Set value to match visibility
  $(this).siblings('input').val(value);
});

TWO PROBLEMS

*

*hidden element is initially reported as visible.

*value is not being updated on each click.

DEMO

A: You have to wait until the sliding animation is completed. The complete callback will help:
$(this).siblings('.Body').slideToggle('fast', function() {
    var value = $(this).is(':visible');
    $(this).siblings('input').val(value);
});

Strap in, let's go. Black Friday, the biggest day of the year for retail, is upon us. The retail environment is becoming noisier and more competitive as it seems the holidays are starting earlier each year. I noticed full out Christmas displays in Macy's, Ace Hardware, and other stores as early as mid-October. Radio Shack's Black Friday insert has already leaked on the popular Black Friday Deal site with more to follow. Brands can break through the noise and ensure shoppers have a happy experience on Black Friday by fully employing the social and digital channels. Here's how.
Shoppers are comparing in-store prices online and you can't stop it.
The earlier Black Friday Deals leak, the more time shoppers will have to compare prices online. And, let's not forget they are standing there doing it in the store too using mobile apps like Amazon's Price Check. Amazon's app was famously blamed last year for Best Buy's declining popularity. We could argue Best Buy is to blame for Best Buy's decline, but that's another discussion… The "best" thing you can do for customers in lieu of price matching is to make them feel good about buying from you. Customer experience is important in our highly competitive environment and brands are winning through great service that builds loyalty over price slashing.
How you can turn Black Friday into a loyalty play.
Black Friday is a free for all to discount shoppers. And, we all know that they often hit up the sale never to return, offering less lifetime customer value than the average consumer. This year Target leaked early preview of their Black Friday sale to Facebook Fans on Nov. 8th. Well played Targé.
Create a VIP Facebook shopping app (like Target!) with exclusive Black Friday deals available only to those who've liked your brand page.
Exclusive, highly competitive, Twitter coupon code announced only to followers.
Leak Black Friday deal info early to your email list or Facebook page allowing them early preview. In 2011, Wal-Mart leaked deals on its Facebook page two weeks before Black Friday.
Have a brand ambassador program? Allow your brand's bloggers and top customers first in line privileges or early in-store shopping access.
Provide your loyalty program folks with a "thank you gift" in the amount of a small gift certificate to kick off Black Friday shopping at their favorite store. Yours! This will help combat price shopping other retailers and bring on the feel good vibe that keeps them coming back to yours.
Treat people well and reward them for being loyal, it's pretty simple.
More and more people want to shop Black Friday online. Cyber Monday is anti-climatic.
Shoppers are getting smarter. We know we get the best deals on Black Friday. On the other hand, many of us do not want to leave our family on the Thanksgiving holiday to stand in long lines in a store full of stressed, angry customers.
Two years ago I decided I wouldn't participate in Black Friday lines and instead opened up my laptop to check out the online deals. Starting with Twitter. There were crickets. So I wrote "Where's the Black Friday deals?" A small clothing boutique Tweeted me with a killer coupon code and I ended up spending $150. I'd never have thought to shop there otherwise and my boyfriend is such a big fan of their shirts he's purchased several more since. The following day I checked Cyber Monday deals and they paled in comparison.
Lesson, the power of people engaging people online paired with activating Black Friday shopping online shopping is a missed opportunity for many retailers. Leverage it! The following year I looked for Black Friday deals on Twitter from one of my favorite stores Banana Republic. So were others and their Twitter discount code took down the site down within minutes. A nice problem to have in a recession no?
What happens on the ground is shared online.
Staff up experienced community managers on your social channels for Black Friday and be sure your brand is listening. It's as important as staffing your store and customer service lines for the rush. 'Nough said.
Help create a safe and friendly shopping environment with real time announcements.
Closely monitor location based services Foursquare and Facebook places check-ins, Instgram and Twitter.
Make real time announcements about important things to customers waiting in line such as process, wait time, countdown to opening, etc. Twitter is an ideal channel for this type of communication.
Use Twitter hashtags per store to segment real time news relevant to each location.
Provide some form of entertainment and engagement for those in line or at home. Mobile apps, games or live chats on social media can add to the happiness factor and make people less aggressive.
Once the doors open, make store and Twitter announcements when door buster teaser deals are sold out. There's nothing more disappointing than making your way across the store, it can take a good 30 minutes, to find your deal is gone.
Provide an interactive map on where to find deals in your store, where it's crowded, and how to check out quickly. Part of what causes the mayhem is locating the deals and bottlenecked areas of the store. Plus, there's the potential for the new holiday help not being so helpful to customers because they're clueless about which product it is exactly or it's location. Happened to me last year at Wal-Mart. There's an app for that whether in the form of live in-store touchscreen displays, smartphone app, or simple Twitter announcements.
Black Friday is a big day for brands and shoppers. Social media, web and mobile channels can help make it a safe, happy shopping day for everyone. And, win you new and loyal customers. Wishing you all a successful one!


Preheat the oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone liner, or spray a scone pan with cooking spray, then set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cake mix, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Grate in the cold butter and toss to combine. Whisk in the sprinkles.
In a small bowl, whisk together the sour cream, egg, and vanilla, then add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a circle, about eight inches in diameter. Cut the dough into eight wedges (I like to use a pizza cutter), and place the pieces on the baking sheet or in the wells of the scone pan. Bake 13-15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove and let cool.
While the scones are cooling, whisk together the half and half and powdered sugar, adding more or less to make a glaze that is easy to drizzle. Whisk in the food coloring. Drizzle over the scones while still slightly warm and sprinkle with additional sprinkles, if desired.
