European Technology Report: IFFA 2010
Meat industry innovation grabbed center stage in May, with around 58,000 trade visitors attending the IFFA exhibition in Frankfurt, Germany.
At the 2010 IFFA exhibition, which is held every three years, more than 900 exhibitors from 40-plus countries took the opportunity to demonstrate the latest innovations in meat processing machines and equipment, packaging technology and ingredients. Reflecting the prevailing industry demand, automation, throughput, safety and hygiene had clearly influenced many of this year's developments.
Automation — an increasingly important driver of activity in Europe — was demonstrated by a fully operating, automated production line, which had been set-up within Hall 4 for the first time at this year's event. The Robotik-Pack-Line was the result of collaboration between leading companies in their fields, such as CSB-System AG; Fanuc Robotics Deutschland GmbH; Habasit; Mettler-Toledo Product Inspection; Peter Suhling Automation GmbH; TM Robotics; Sealpack GmbH; and Weiss, in cooperation with the German Institute of Food Technologies (Deutsch Institut für Lebensmitteltechnik e.V. or DIL). Built on a modular basis that could be tailored for different applications, the Robotik-Pack-Line illustrated how sorting, portioning, verification, packaging, sealing and labeling systems can be effectively operated using a wide range of industrial robots.
On its stand, Treif was highlighting its in-house strength in the area of automation with its new Falcon conti robotic portion cutting machine, which handles boneless and bone-in products that are fed in continuously. Designed to replace manual picking or traditional sorting/loading technology, the cutting-edge robot system ensures that portions are reliably sorted and uses a camera with both color- and shape-recognition technology to separate out cutlets with and without fillet, for example.
"The robotics behind the automated weight control line represent a very important development," said Guenter Becker, president, Treif USA, who explained that the robot uses Treif's patented vacuum technology to pick up to 150 pieces of meat per minute from the conveying line and place them into trays or boxes. "There is a lot of complex engineering and technology behind this and a high level of investment. The machines are suitable for high throughput lines operating at rates of 2,000 to 3,000 pounds per hour, and each machine has to be tailored to customers' requirements."
An increase in output and a smaller footprint compared with traditional methods and savings on personnel costs are coupled with the improvements to be had in quality as a result of the minimal handling of the product and faster packing, according to Treif, which is in initial discussions with a few companies in Europe and Asia, but has no plans yet for installation of the new robotic lines in the United States.
Automatic loading was a feature of Treif's new Divider 880 high-performance slicer prototype, which uses a patented cutting and transport system to ensure the optimum coordination between the slicer and the tray feeder, while stacking at high speeds without any blank cuts. It was attracting attention alongside the company's Dragon portion cutting machine for cutting deep-frozen bone-in products, such as T-bone steaks; and Treif's new patented vacuum gripper, which is especially designed for holding soft products, such as boiled or cooked sausage or ham, that are hard to grip or can easily pull away. The vacuum gripper has a two-chamber vacuum system, which is said to provide a firm grip and the minimum of residual-held pieces after slicing.
Automation was also order of the day for the numerous developments premiered by Handtmann. For sausage production, Handtmann unveiled its fully automated ConProLink 200 and ConProLink 400 with linking function together with the new ConProTherm sausage production line with an automated cooking system and loading robot, which provide continuous production for linked, fine sausage products from processing through to packaging; and a new AST 340 robotic system for automatically transferring smoke sticks loaded with strings of sausages, directly into the smoking trolley.
The AST 340 can handle star-shaped and round smoke sticks and, thanks to Handtmann's new robot technology, it accurately and gently positions the smoke sticks into the smoking trolley without the need for operators. It achieves a more concentrated smoke stick hanging, which improves the throughput of the cooking/smoking system at a faster rate than is possible for manual operators, according to Handtmann.
Marel, Stork and Townsend's combined booth featured 20 new machines, as well as live music every day at 4 p.m. and live demonstrations of its new StreamLine intelligent deboning and trimming system for beef products. It has been developed to monitor and control the yield, throughput and quality of production from carcass intake to product dispatch. Any trim from the StreamLine can be run through Marel's new SensorX fat analyzer, which measures the fat content of the trim using X-rays prior to automatic sorting in the trim grader.
Among the other new machines highlighted on the stand were Marel's new PolySlicer 1000, which has an involute blade capable of high-speed slicing at a rate of 1,500 revolutions per minute for slices of 0.6 to 30mm. Its large slicing aperture is designed to handle up to three logs of product at one time and produce stacks, shingles or — using a pulsed product feed — thick (steak) slices. It can be programmed with up to 100 product specifications to ensure fast changeover times.
New slicing technology also is featured among Weber's latest developments and included its first dedicated bacon slicer, the CCS 702, and the versatile Weber Slicer 804 for sausages, salami, ham or other soft products.
The new CCS 702 Bacon Slicer has been specially developed for high throughput bacon production and can handle up to 2,000 slices per minute of 0.1 to 50mm in thickness. The slicing throat height has been kept down to 100mm, by 300 to 380mm wide, in order to keep the footprint of the machine to a minimum, and it uses Weber's beveled product carrier rather than a gripper in order to reduce processing time between product, as no residue has to be removed from the gripper. Precision slicing is achieved using Weber's technology for constantly measuring and adjusting the distance between the blade and shear bar, which, in combination with an optical weigher, ensures both high output and high yield.
A compact slicer that is said to offer the top performance within a small footprint, the Weber Slicer 804, uses idle cut technology and has a maximum slicing speed of up to 1,500 slices per minute and, with a slicing throat 380mm wide and 180mm high, can process three products/logs — with dimensions of 100 x 100mm — simultaneously. The Weber Slicer 804, which effectively replaces Weber's 902, now features the company's automatic central loading technology that loads products into the correct position automatically. For further automation, the 804 can be combined with the Weber Food Robot, which automatically inserts the sliced portions into its packaging to give high throughput and highly efficient and flexible production.
Yield, productivity and cost effectiveness were the aim of the introductions from CFS, which included a new MegaSlicer generation for on-weight slicing; fully automated robot loading; grinding, multi-zone cooking and defrosting technologies; an entry level model of its Powerpak thermoformer; a bowl cutter with enhanced control; and a brine injection and cooling combination.
"When you consider that purchasing of raw materials leaves little room for negotiation, and end customers dictate the sales price, about the only opportunity left to improve profitability is to increase productivity and yield in the plant," said Brain McCluskie, CEO of CFS. The company demonstrated its new MegaSlicer generation together with its CFS OptiScan system, which determines the density distribution over the length of the product using X-ray technology and helps to increase yield when slicing products like hams or bacon that have an irregular shape and varying product density. The MegaSlicer can be used with a circular blade for up to 750 revolutions per minute or an involute blade that operates at up to 2,000 revolutions per minute, and slice up to 440mm in width and up to 180mm high.
Hygienic slicing was the particular focus for Cozzini, which has just completed the overhaul of the slicing equipment it acquired when it took over Dover Products Inc./Anco Slicing Technology in 2008.
"We have completely redesigned the Anco slicers to meet and exceed the new sanitation and safety standards," said Ed King, director of product development at Cozzini. "We are probably one of the first companies to have taken a look at the equipment from the ground upward and address all of the safety and hygiene features. These slicers are bulk slicers, and we may also have increased the yield but that is yet to be determined."
Among other features, Cozzini's redesigned (Anco) PrimeSlice 827C backclamp/gripper-style slicer has a variable-speed blade that turns up to 1,500 revolutions per minute and is now fully guarded for operator safety. It has a cantilevered design and jump conveyor with a sanitary seamless belt to feed product to the slicer blade. All belts and feed rollers are removable for ease of cleaning. The stainless-steel servo motor has a IP69K washdown rating.
"The polyurethane timing belt drive system allows for complete washdown of all drive components. Before there were gear boxes and chains, which made such hygienic cleaning impossible," said King, who explained that disassembly for sanitation and washdown is easy as all the components that come in contact with the product can be removed without tools. Additional options include wash-in-place spray systems for both the knife housing and drive housing, which allow the operator to wash the blade from both sides while it runs, without the need to open the blade housing. "We are now working on the development of a continuous pepperoni slicer in the PrimeSlice range, which we hope to launch at the end of 2010," King said.
Production improvements were also key to the developments discussed by Baader Food Processing Machinery, which highlighted a new device that allows large meat products to be processed without the need for mechanical pre-cutting; and its improved Baader 600 range for the gentle separation of sinews, gristle and cartilage from meat reduced in size. The Baader 605 and 607 are now equipped with a touch panel for system monitoring — including temperature control.
Baader also recently introduced its Baader 54 skinner for Sockeye fish at the Seafood Processing Europe exhibition in Brussels in April. The Baader 54, which was originally developed for Alaska pollack, provides a deep skin cut after the shallow skinning process and produces a separate fat layer which can be used, for example, for obtaining Omega 3 fatty acids. Skinned fillets leave the machine stretched out and separated from each other for further processing.
A taste of its future technology was given by Risco, which previewed its new top-of-the-range vacuum fillers. The RS 600 series will be available in two models, the RS 605 and RS 615, and is intended for larger-volume manufacturers. The RS 600s feature high-efficiency filling systems with large chambers and a newly designed air extraction vacuum system. According to Risco, an advanced "stuffing" system minimizes the compacting stress on the ground product, which will help to improve the quality of the finished product.
Risco also unveiled its RS 2006 continuous vacuum filler for ham. This new- generation model features Risco's "long life" filling system, and large chambers that are designed to minimize the cuts of the muscle and preserve the original structure of the product as far as possible. The RS 2006 will feature the next generation servo-assisted motors and the ability to monitor the fillers operations on a continuous basis.
Dicing and portioning
Optimizing the dicing and portioning operations was the focus for Holac and Vemag this year, both of which introduced new developments in this area.
In its new booth concept taking up 300m2, Holac discussed both its new multipurpose dicer – the Cubixx 120 and the Holac portion cutting machine – the Sect 230. Designed for a wide range of meat processing applications, both machines have been built with stringent hygiene in mind.
The Cubixx 120 features an integrated pre-loading chamber as well as a large (120 x 120 x 570mm) loading chamber, which is opened and closed using a manually operated lateral pre-press-block that gives an improved filling angle. An integrated discharge conveyor offers improved ergonomics and operability, according to Holac. Its discharge conveyor base frame remains in the machine while the conveyor belt itself can be easily removed for daily cleaning.
The Sect 230 has a new 30-degree loading chamber, which has been designed to ensure the accurate guidance of any product during transport and cutting. To help with ease of handling, the blade does not require separate bushing, and as standard, the entire machine is equipped with automatic lubrication systems to minimize maintenance. It operates with continuous or intermittent product feeding, which can be selected according to product type, cutting thickness or blade requirements. And, all "smart-slice" functions such as dividing, sectioning or grouping, are also included as standard.
On its almost 1,000m2 stand, Vemag demonstrated 21 machines and product lines, eight of which were new developments. The new LPG 209 length portioning machine with casing magazine was designed for flexibility, speed, innovation and productivity. The machine links sausages with high accuracy in length and weight, and it also processes cooked and raw sausages in natural, collagen and cellulose casings within the caliber range of 13 to more than 40 mm. Collagen and cellulose casings are automatically loaded, which reduces casing change times and increases productivity, along with eliminating kinking.
As the casings are filled, the vacuum filler operates as a pump within the continuous production output. Special dividers in the dividing belts gently grip the casing and divide each individual sausage. The length portioning machine also eliminates the risk of split casings when using synthetic or collagen casings, which is often spotted too late by the operator when using conventional machines. Each of these split casings is immediately registered and produces a signal on the filler so that it immediately comes to a stop.
For the industrial packaging of large products and high packaging volumes, VC999 Packaging Systems unveiled its new VC999 K9 vacuum chamber belt machine, which has a chamber with a useable sealing bar length of 1,500 and operates at a capacity of up to four cycles per minute — all within a footprint of five square meters.
"Customers are increasingly asking us for volume, and we have responded. The K9 is the biggest vacuum conveying machine on the market in terms of seal bar length and the space within the sealing bars," said Martin Wüst, head of VC999 engineering and development. Bags are fed onto the conveyor and positioned with their seal edge outwards. As the K9 features sealing bars on each outer edge of the vacuum chamber, two rows of bags can be sealed simultaneously. "There is a capacity width of 894mm between the sealing bars, so if you have bags that are 350 mm wide you can position four bags alongside each other and, depending on the bag length, you can place four further filled bags on the other side of the conveyor belt."
Adaptable filler plates, which can be changed over in around five minutes, can be fitted to the lid of the chamber to accommodate lower products, such as ham or bacon, in order to reduce the vacuum times required for sealing.
"The K9 can handle products with a maximum height of 285mm, but not everyone has such large products so the filler plates allow flexibility," said Wüst. "Sealing times clearly depend on the volume of product and the size of vacuum pumps, which the customer selects and positions according to their applications. Some companies need to handle large cuts of meat, but not necessarily at a fast throughput."
Seal integrity has been built into the K9 with its bi-active sealing mechanism. Bags are sealed at top and bottom through creases or meat residues, and each sealing bar features two electrodes next to each other to give a double seal. All programs are automatically controlled using VC999's vacuum processor controller.
Among other packaging technologies, Multivac also premiered its new high-performance vacuum chamber belt machine, the B610, at the show. With a sealing length of 2 x 1,500, the B610 has a distance between the sealing bars of 800mm and a maximum chamber height of 280mm. It has been designed for high output with minimal operator intervention, as well as improved convenience and hygiene — the entire machine can be soaped or washed down, inside and out. The lid of the chamber can tilt and opens in a couple of easy steps to give access to the insides for cleaning and maintenance. It also features an optional automatic sealing height adjustment system that offers four different levels.
Multivac's new IPC 06 control system with a touch screen and HMI 2.0 user interface means that "never before has it been so easy to operate a packaging machine and the associated line modules," according to Multivac. A strainer and special new valve prevent the vacuum pump from drawing in any product residues or cleaning fluids. And a short hose to the vacuum pump increases the output significantly. The new B610 can operate at a rate of 2.5 cycles per minute.
Other Multivac innovations included a prototype of a thermoform packaging machine with all pneumatic components replaced with electric drive technology, which avoids the need for compressed air and water connections. The e-concept is said to give energy savings of up to 20 percent, which mitigates the high acquisition costs as it has a payback period of just one year, according to Multivac.
Rapid payback, high throughputs, reliability, safety, security, consistency and quality output within a small footprint underpinned all the developments at the show and reflect the dynamics driving the industry. These give a taste of the many other innovations being discussed in the aisles and being tested in plants throughout not only Europe, but throughout the world.

SIDEBAR: Ingredients to help boost efficiency, quality and clean labeling
Gewürzmüller presented a modular system for natural, clean-label products as well as its natural antioxidant from oregano. The company's Pure Taste system combines seasonings, meat cultures and process technology tailored to individual products. It draws particularly on natural options, such as spices, fruit and vegetable extracts and other ingredients, such as yeast, in order to keep additives to a minimum. The systems have been developed for traditional meat products such as cooked ham, scalded sausages and raw fermented sausages. Origanox, Gewürzmüller's oregano extract, has a high phenol content and strong antioxidative properties, which can be used to help delay fat oxidation and increase the antimicrobial activity in fish and meat products.
Hydrosol's innovations included its new PLUSstabil Ultrabind injection additive that can be used when 100 percent of the product is to be injected. According to Hydrosol, for products such as cooked ham, it is possible to achieve high yields of 180 percent or more. Yet, the new additive gives a homogeneous appearance in the finished slices without the "streaks" often associated with injection systems. It gives a firm consistency and dry cutting as a result of minimum syneresis. Hydrosol's new PLUSstabil 80 BAC has been developed for belly of pork and can be used to fix the brine as a firm gel in soft connective tissues.
New cultures, efficient stabilizers and natural antioxidants were featured on the Danisco stand. Texel XT is a starter culture that gives rapid texture development in salami while also delivering good flavor and color. According to Danisco, the rapid textural firmness achieved using Texel XT provides an opportunity for the development of novel casing-free snacks and also ensures good slicing properties earlier in production. Danisco was also showing its Grindsted MeatBinder Stabiliser Systems — natural solutions for transforming odd-shaped meat trimmings into medallions and nuggets with defined shapes and sizes, as well as excellent cooking and freeze-thaw stability. Further natural developments included Danisco's Guardian Green Tea Extract for natural protection against oxidation.
Solae introduced its Cenergy FMS soy fiber solution for kebab and ground meat products. Designed to increase the cooking yield, reduce cooking time and provide cost savings, Cenergy FMS is derived from the cell wall of the soybean cotyledon and contains a matrix of insoluble fiber, soluble fiber and protein. The combination of these ingredients in formulation is said to help control purge, increase water retention and improve cooking yields.

Q: Querying database in Grails The values in database are saved as such
::{"rating1":"2","rating2":"4","rating3":"5","rating4":"0","rating5":"0"},
Now I need to acces the individual values like 2,4,5 etc.
I made a variable "rating" of the Domain Class type and tried accesing as object using (.) operator but it wont work and gives error:
:exception::groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: rating1 for class: java.lang.String
, I tried casting to array and list (as Array, as ArrayList, as List) etc but that wont work either.
Casting to List gives exception:exception::org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.typehandling.GroovyCastException: Cannot cast object '{"rating1":"2","rating2":"4","rating3":"5","rating4":"0","rating5":"0"}' with class 'java.lang.String' to class 'java.util.List' .
Accessing like "rating[3]" gives answer "a". Should I use "rating[11]" to get value 2 or is there any way around.
What could be the possible solution. Please help.

A: You're storing a string, so you only have string operations available. You need to parse that string to get at the attributes individually (JsonSlurper perhaps?).
rating[character-position] is a bad idea IMO.
Maybe transients (check the GORM docs) would be useful.
class YourDomain {
    String yourField
    String getRating1() { new JsonSlurper().parseText(yourField).rating1 }
}

Maybe. Totally untested, just an idea.

"The Shadow Queen"
Sandra Gulland is the author of the Josephine B. Trilogy, internationally best-selling novels about Josephine Bonaparte which have been published in over seventeen countries. Her fourth novel, Mistress of the Sun (also published internationally) and her new novel, The Shadow Queen, are set in the 17th-century French Court of Louis XIV, the Sun King.
Gulland applied the Page 69 Test to her new book, The Shadow Queen, and reported the following:
Page 69 of The Shadow Queen comes at a pivotal and dramatic moment in the narrative. Claudette, although young (21), is the true care-taker of her witless mother and special-needs younger brother. Their life has been one of hard-scrabble impoverishment, and Claudette has miraculously won a chance for her mother at theatrical employment. This is the opportunity she has been praying for, but her mother is resistant...
Mother had frights in the morning, of course. I made her a calming lemon balm to take with her morning gruel. "I'm putting your little Virgin in my bag," I assured her, refreshing Gaston on proper etiquette: stand tall, at least try to lock eyes (he was so shy), dip with a sweep of his hat.
(Although Claudette's brother Gaston is 14, he is childlike mentally and emotionally. He is also—I must add—one of my very favorite characters.)
"Monsieur Corneille looks like a clerk, but he's the greatest man in the land," I said. "Treat him as if he were king."
"Oh Mary!" Mother sighed, fanning herself with her chicken-feather fan (in spite of the bitter cold). The very mention of the Great Corneille stirred up her humors, put her in a state of profound disarray.
(Before Claudette was born, her mother and father had played in the first performance of The Cid by Corneille. Her mother had been a talented player, but her husband's death had "unhinged" her. Claudette is hoping that a return to the theater world will help cure her—as well as put food on the table.)
OUTSIDE, THE WORLD was frozen but bright. The sun was high, and everything seemed unearthly. Mother began dragging as we approached the theater, turning in a trance of memory. "I remember that shop. But oh, that's new. Look how this tree has grown."
I took advantage of her reverie to glide her through the theater doors, which had been propped open with a paving stone.
"This isn't it," she said, coming to a stop in the entry, her hands on her hips. "This isn't the theater of the Marais."
Now what? "Maman, this is the Marais."
"It's completely different, except for—" Mother gazed down at a star design set into the stone floor. "Except for this," she said, running the toe of her boot over the points of the star. "This, I remember. Gaston, Claudette, look! Your father, he proposed to me ... right here. My beloved Nicolas stood on this very spot." She blinked to keep back tears.
"It's all that is left of the old theater."
We turned, startled by a man's voice. The Great Corneille was plainly dressed, still looking like a weary accountant whose sums didn't add up.
I gestured to Gaston to wipe his chin as I sank into a curtsy.
And thus begins one of the enduring relationships of the novel.
I dedicated the novel in this way:
In memory of my father, Robert Zentner
whose lovable eccentricities are reflected
in several of the characters in this novel.
And those characters are Claudette's mother and the dear and oh-so-great Pierre Corneille. I love them dearly.

New York Penal Law 156.05: Unauthorized use of a computer
The unlawful use of a computer in the State of New York is governed by New York Penal Law 156.05 which states that a person can be found "guilty of unauthorized use of a computer when he or she knowingly uses, causes to be used or accesses a computer, computer service, or computer network without authorization." The crime is a class A misdemeanor. It's punishable by 364 days in jail and a fine of up to $1,000 or three years of probation. A number of activities such as giving out a password or hacking are contemplated by the statute. Other more serious crimes related to the unauthorized use of a computer include identity theft.
An example of the unauthorized use of a computer
Joe had signed out of a social media account on a social network, but his girlfriend got his password to the website when looking over his shoulder. He had previously refused to give her his password to that account. The girlfriend took Joe's laptop home with her with Joe's permission. She went to the social media website and opened Joe's account using the secret password that she didn't have permission to use. She then accessed his otherwise private messages without his permission, and she responded derogatorily to several of them. On those facts, she would likely be found guilty of unauthorized use of a computer.
Without authorization
As per New York Penal Code section 156.00(8), the term "without authorization" involves using or accessing a computer or computer network or service "without the permission of the owner or lessor or someone licensed or privileged by the owner or lessor where such person knew that his or her use or access was without permission after actual notice to such person that such use or access was without permission." It also involves "access of a computer service by a person without permission where such person knew that such access was without permission or after actual notice to such person, that such access was without permission." If unauthorized use is shown, the prosecution may use that as presumptive evidence against the defendant. Like other legal presumptions, that presumption is rebuttable.
Defenses to the unauthorized use of a computer
Section 156.50 of the New York Penal Code specifies a defense to the crime of unauthorized use of a computer. The defense arises when the person charged with the offense believed that there were "reasonable grounds to believe that he had authorization to use the computer." A person might also successfully defend against this charge if another person used their computer without their knowledge or consent to access the computer of a third person.
Regardless of the fact that the unauthorized use of a computer is a misdemeanor, it still involves a conviction for an act involving dishonesty or deceit that might stay with your name for life. That conviction can impact potential employment, educational opportunities or even housing. Sentencing alternatives might be available that can help you keep your good name and reputation. Our law firm has extensive experience in defending clients who have been charged with computer crimes.
If you've been arrested for the offense of unauthorized use of a computer, don't give the police a statement or confession. Those would only be used against you in the future. Contact us first. You can call us 24 hours a day at 888-977-6335 for a free consultation and case evaluation.


A Hartford man was arrested Friday in connection with a hit-and-run crash that left a woman dead earlier this month, police said.
Kayvon Cook, 24, was charged with evading responsibility with serious physical injury, reckless driving, operation with a suspended license and making a false statement. His bail was set at $100,000, police said.
Cook fled his car hit Chante Tucker as she walked near the intersection of Albany Avenue and Garden Street on the night of Sept. 5, police said. Tucker, 47, of Hartford, was found in the street with serious injuries and taken to a hospital, where she died the next day.
Officers found the Chevrolet Malibu Cook had been driving when he hit Tucker and traced the vehicle back to him, police said.
Cook, of Stonington Street, may face additional charges pending a finding by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner to determine Tucker's cause of death. The investigation is ongoing, police said.

Don't Let 2022 Harmonized Schedule Updates Slow Your Supply Chain
Gabrielle Griffith, SCB Contributor
The Harmonized Schedule is commonly referred to as our industry's "universal language." Its logical and systematic format is not only the basis for identifying goods and their corresponding duties and taxes, but is also for devising trade policies, monitoring controlled goods, developing specific rules of origin, determining freight rates, analyzing transportation statistics and more. Don't let the 300-plus updates to the schedule in 2022 slow down your supply chain.
A new Harmonized Schedule was rolled out on Jan. 1, 2022. Familiarity with the updates of this "language of trade" is imperative. It's said that the best defense is a good offense; for supply chains, offense takes the form of preparation. Knowing the who, what, when, where and why enables companies to identify the points of supply that need reinforcement in light of these changes.
Who: The Harmonized Tariff Schedule is set forth by the World Customs Organization. The WCO's primary objective is to enhance efficiency of member customs administrations. It adopted the HS Convention to facilitate international trade by harmonizing the description and classification of goods.
What: In the latest update, 350 new tariff numbers have been added. Some address advances in technology, including:
Smartphones. New header 8517.13.0000 replaces 8517.12.0050, and specifically defines "smartphones" in the new Legal Note 5 to Chapter 85.
Unmanned aircraft. New header 8806.10 replaces 8802.11, 8802.12 and 8802.20 for classification of unmanned aircraft. New Legal Note 1 to Chapter 88 will define unmanned aircraft.
Aircraft parts. New header 8807 addresses all parts of aircraft, including unmanned, as well as helicopters, manned aircraft and gliders.
Machines for additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printers. Subheadings address printers that deposit metals (8485.10); plastics or rubber (8485.20); plaster, cement, ceramics or glass (8485.30), or other (8485.80).
Other updates address global environmental changes as well as "dual-use" items. The latter have civil applications as potential use as military-based weapons of mass destruction. By specifically providing for the following types of items, WCO is able to better track the movement of these items globally. The full list of impacted tariff codes can be accessed at http://www.wcoomd.org/-/media/wco/public/global/pdf/topics/nomenclature/instruments-and-tools/hs-nomenclature-2022/table-i_en.pdf?la=en.
When: HS 2022 is the 7th edition of the Harmonized Schedule. It went into effect on Jan. 1, 2022 and set forth 351 amendments.
Where: Updates were to the WCO Harmonized Schedule, which will in turn impact the U.S. Harmonized Tariff Schedule and U.S. Census Schedule B. Industry should not forget the necessary updates within internal systems such as Shippers Letters of Instruction (SLIs), Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) and SAP templates.
Why: The changes recognize evolving industries and trade patterns, as well as environmental and social issues of global concern. Examples include new codes surrounding e-waste, new tobacco and nicotine-based provisions, specific codes for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and smartphones, and new provisions for placebos to facilitate cross-border medical research.
The best way to address the 2022 changes is to compare the updated list against your organization's existing classification data, or recommend that your clients do so.
Don't get caught with outdated HS numbers in 2022. Inaccuracies in HS codes could not only mean incorrect assessment of duties and taxes, but also unnecessary delays in your supply chain. Take steps now to inform yourself and your clients of the 2022 HS tariff changes.

Merchant services allow businesses to process a variety of payments in the day-to-day operations. Although most processing providers often offer similar services, the option of wireless payment terminals can set your business apart from your competitors. Whether you're in the service industry or perhaps run a taxi-cab service, the freedom and flexibility of wireless payment make your services more convenient for your customers, which, in turn, can grow your business.
Not sure how wireless payment terminals would work for your business? Here's the rundown of what wireless means and how your business can set it up.
Essentially, wireless payment terminals allow you to take the transaction directly to your customers, without the restrictions of wires, plugs, or a base dock. Wireless terminals function exactly like wired terminals and are equipped to handle a variety of different payment methods such as contactless transactions (NFC technology), chip and pin security, or the old-school magnetic strip swipe.
Wireless means that your customers have the ability to pay for their purchases without heading to the cash register.
Wireless manages to both promise significant revenue streams and provides businesses with more reliable and faster service. Many major retailers and restaurants offer this kind of wireless check out in-store, so the customer doesn't have to make their way to the cash.
The comfort factor of wireless transactions is a huge selling point for customers. Consider the restaurant industry, where getting up to go to the cash to pay for your meal seems like a thing of the past. Allowing your customers to pay from their seats is something that makes them more comfortable and makes your business look good. Ultimately, regardless of the circumstances, being able to bring the transaction to the customer means they're getting convenient and consistent service.
The only major drawback to consider in setting up wireless payment terminals is perhaps the base cost of wireless operations and the required hardware. Not only would you have to factor in processing costs, you'll also need a new terminal, smartphone, or tablet to use with each mobile card reader. In that regard, businesses may first need to weigh the need for express service versus the start-up costs to properly integrate wireless methods.
Depending on your merchant services provider of choice, you may be subject to all sorts of processing-related fees and start-up costs in order to equip your business with wireless payment terminals. However, any reputable provider will be able to ask any questions or concerns you may have and provide you with comprehensive customer support. If this kind of service isn't included with your provider, it might actually be worth paying a little more in fees to avoid unreliable service.
Without a wireless payment terminal, your profits may be limited to cash-only transactions. Nowadays, very few carry large amounts of cash on their person, so if they have to leave your establishment in order to find an ATM, they may likely just head out the door and keep on walking.
Paying with plastic is the most convenient form of shopping. In fact, people tend to actually spend more in a store when using a credit or debit card. That's a boost in profits that your business can't afford to lose just because it isn't equipped to deal with different payment methods. When you offer the convenience of a wireless terminal, your customers don't have to worry about finding an ATM, meaning they're more likely to spend more money, thus increasing your bottom line.
Ultimately, the right payment processor can help your business grow. That's why it's important to find the right merchant service for you and truly make an informed decision. So, ask yourself if it's time for your business to set up wireless payment terminals.


Interested in a Discount on Naltrexone?
Who Should Not Take Naltrexone?
Are using opioid (narcotic) medications or opioid street drugs like heroin.
Are dependent on opioids (your healthcare provider may check for this with a test called a naloxone challenge test).
Are having opioid withdrawal symptoms.
Have opioids in your urine (your healthcare provider may order a urine test) or have opioid withdrawal symptoms after a challenge test.
Are allergic to Revia, naltrexone, or any of the inactive components used to make the medication. Your healthcare provider or pharmacist has a list of the inactive ingredients.
There are a number of situations in which naltrexone should not be used, along with several safety concerns people should be aware of before beginning treatment. However, it is possible that not all of these issues were discussed in this article. Therefore, you should talk with your healthcare provider about the specific warnings and precautions with naltrexone that may apply to you.

Advocacy is about helping you to speak up for yourself, to make sure that your views and opinions are heard and understood. If you find it hard, or you are unable to speak for yourself then you may find an 'Advocate' who can help you.
He was called to English Bar in 2011 and is a member of the Honourable Society of Lincoln's Inn.
Normally to be called to English Bar, someone has to study course called BPTC for a year and has to compelte training and 12 dinning sessions before being called to the Bar and then he has to obtain Pupillage for a year to start pactice as a Barrister. But due to the vast expereicnce and education, Mr. Ahmad had been exempt not only from all education and training and from attedning 12 dinning session but also from pupiillage and he can practice as Barrister after applyng practising certificate.
Even without Barrister's practising certificate, he can serve you in the advocacy field equal to barrister due to his Higher Courts Rights of Audience up to the Court of Appeal in Civil and Immigration Matters.
Mr. Ahmad received the Higher Rights qualification based upon his experience in civil law, advocacy and being judge in Pakistan and with the support of the Judiciary. We are capable of dealing with Immigration, Family law, Civil Litigation Matters including contractual disputes, employment matters.
An advocate should be free from conflicts of interest with those providing services to the person they are working with and should represent the other person's interests as if they were the Advocate's own.

'Shazam!' a giddy epic
By Amy Longsdorf For Medianews Group
After scores of doom-and-gloom-laden superhero movies, along comes "Shazam!," that brings out the zingier side of world-saving.
Billy Batson (Asher Angel) is a streetwise 14-year-old who, though a weird set of circumstances, discovers he can transform into an adult superhero (Zachary Levi) simply by shouting out a single word. Soon Billy and his best buddy (Jack Dylan Grazer) are testing Billy's limits with experiments in flying, lightning manipulating and bullet deflecting. From the chemistry between the actors to the wised-up humor and the eye-candy special effects, everything goes right in this one. On Amazon, Google, iTunes and Vudu.
Also new to VOD and streaming
Breakthrough: Based on a true story, this faith-based film unreels the story of a teenager (Marcel Ruiz) who falls through an icy Missouri lake, spending at least 15 minutes underwater. Pronounced dead, he is all but willed back to life by his mother (Chrissy Metz), who refuses to stop praying for his recovery. An engaging first act and a ferocious performance by Metz are highlights of a movie which too quickly settles into sermonizing about belief systems. The final half of "Breakthrough" is a bit like one scene repeated over and over again, with Metz blasting anyone and everyone who doesn't share her absolute faith in God. On Amazon, Google, iTunes and Vudu.
Dogman: How far would you go to stand up to a bully? Marcello (Marcello Fonte) is a mild-mannered pet groomer in a small Italian village, whose daily grind involves playing lapdog to a snarling drug addict (Edoardo Pesce). But when Marcello is pushed too far, tragedy is unleashed. Directed with unblinking intensity by Matteo Garrone ("Gomorrah"), this dark, ultra-violent yarn is a reminder that no good can come from dancing with the devil. On Amazon, Google, iTunes and Vudu.
Maze: Based on the true story of a 1983 prison break, Stephen Burke's uneven thriller meticulously charts the efforts of a prisoner (Tom Vaughan-Lawlor) to plan an escape from the most secure facility in Europe. "Maze" smartly compares and contrasts Vaughan-Lawlor with a tortured prison guard (Barry Ward) depressed over his imminent divorce. While there's far too many scenes depicting the tensions between rival IRA factions, "Maze" excels when stressing the humanity of both the revolutionary convict and the establishment jailer. On Amazon, Google, iTunes and Vudu.
The Sower: Set in France in the midst of Napoleon's reign, Marine Francen's mesmerizing drama begins with the arrest of the entire male population of a tiny farming village. After many seasons alone, the women vow to share a man if one ever comes along. Cue the arrival of a handsome stranger, who ignites plenty of passions and jealousies among the tight-knit community. Recalling a combination of "The Beguiled" and "The Guardians," the film beautifully captures the ebb and flow of life in the 19th century. On Amazon, Google, iTunes and Vudu.
Devil's Path: Don't expect zombies, werewolves or vampires in this intense, psychological horror show. There's more than enough suspense generated by the strange, twisted bond formed by two men (Stephen Twardokus, Jo Szalzo) who hook up on an isolated nature trail. After being chased by a pair of homophobes, the hikers retreat deeper into the woods, and begin to slowly turn on each other. Director Matthew Montgomery not only draws compelling performances from the actors, but he keeps you unsettled with plenty of twists and turns. On Amazon, Google, iTunes and Vudu.
All You Ever Wished For: "Rain Man" scripter Barry Morrow makes his directorial debut with a romantic comedy that attempts to follow in the frothy footsteps of "Waking Ned Devine" and "The Full Monty." But "All You Ever Wished For" quickly falls flat. Darren Criss stars as a New York fashion executive who winds up in a tiny village in the Italian Alps where, thanks to a gypsy curse, all visitors fall in love with the first soul they meet. The scenery is gorgeous and the townsfolk are lively, but the movie can't overcome its shallow characterizations or the lack of chemistry between Criss and his beloved (Madalina Ghenea). On Amazon, Google, iTunes and Vudu.
Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie: Fans of the colorful crime fighters will want to check out this feature film, which finds the Power Rangers coming to the rescue of Earthlings after evil space alien Divatox sets out to unleash the dark forces of Maligore. Along with the new Blue Ranger, their turbo-powered Zords and the unexpected help of original Rangers Kimberly and Jason, our heroes set out to triumph over their dastardly foes. On Amazon, Google, iTunes and Vudu.

Last fall's story of A.J. Burgess, a 2-year-old boy unable to receive a life-saving kidney transplant from his previously incarcerated father has turned out well. Even though AJ's father was rejected as a donor despite being a perfect match, AJ received a deceased donor kidney, and he has recently celebrated his third birthday. On the surface, it looks like the brouhaha was all for nothing. But this story allowed the public to get a brief glimpse behind the curtain of decision-making in organ transplantation. What that glimpse reveals reminds me why I'm not an organ donor. That's right, I'm not an organ donor. I await the judgment of Mark Zuckerberg, Selena Gomez, and people I actually know.
This article is reprinted with permission from Religion Dispatches. Follow RD on Facebook or Twitter for daily updates.
Me: I know, but it's kind of a big decision. They are my organs. I'm using them.
PLOF: But you can't take them with you. Kidneys are like money that way. I mean, you don't need them after you're dead.
Me: True. I won't need them. But is it impossible for someone with all of her organs to go through the eye of a needle? Oops, I mean get to heaven?
PLOF: Are you that religious?
PLOF: Aren't religions pro organ donation?
Me: If you ask a rabbi, minister, priest, or imam if saving someone's life is ok, then they usually say yes.
PLOF: So they're on board.
Suddenly, all my PLOFs are wide-eyed and concerned. They know where the conversation is headed.
Being an organ donor doesn't just potentially save someone's life. You can focus on that aspect of it—and maybe you should—but there are significant social justice issues involved that aren't apparent on the surface. Among them is distribution—or what the transplant community refers to as allocation. Most of us are aware that there's an organ shortage, but then who gets a transplant and who doesn't? And who decides?
Donate American, Gift of Hope, Facebook, and ORGANIZE attempt to increase organ donation with frequent campaigns, most of which feature personal stories of recipients and the family members of donors. Organ donation is depicted as selfless and heroic, which is a moving story. But if we use a telescope instead of a microscope, we get a different story—one that I'm uncomfortable being a part of at the moment.
To get an organ in the United States, you need financial and social resources. The organs are free—they've been donated—but the surgery, follow up visits, and medications are not free. They're quite expensive. The estimated cost for a transplant and 180 days of follow up and medications ranges from $414,000 (kidney) to $1.3 million (heart), a cost that has to be found either in your bank account or in the bank account of your insurance company in order to get an organ transplant and live with it for six months.
As with retirement, the longer you live, the more money you will need to cover expenses. The majority of patients who receive transplants are well-insured or financially well-off, though Medicare and Medicaid have a history of covering transplants. With Medicaid in particular, the cost of the transplant is covered and three years of anti-rejection medications. After that, well, you're on your own to pay the co-pays for anti-rejection drugs, which is about $600 per month. Since Medicaid is for people with low incomes, you can see the conflict. How do you find $600 a month for anti-rejection drugs when you're hovering around the poverty line? On average, a transplanted kidney could last about 15 years, so getting insurance coverage for only the first three years could limit the longevity of the kidney and the recipient's life by 80% of average expectancy.
But these financial issues obscure a larger problem: to get an organ transplant in the US, you are subjected to medical and social review by a transplant team. This multidisciplinary team consists of surgeons, organ specialists, social workers, nurses, psychiatrists, hospital administrators, and sometimes a chaplain. The medical criteria for getting an organ can be thought of as objective, though also relative to the skills of the local transplant surgeons and the level of risk they're willing to take. The social review by the team is highly subjective, even in the best scenarios. Since donated organs are a scarce resource, the goal is often to find the best host (recipient) for the organ so that it does not go to waste.
In that environment, organs tend to go to people who can have a full-time caregiver, has family who will help with care, doesn't take personal risks, and has a medical history of doing what doctors tell them to do. All of these fuzzy criteria require that there is someone on the transplant team who recognizes a potential patient's behavior as understandable and relatable. Ultimately, these criteria become ciphers for minority status and financial means. Can your spouse take months off of work to take care of you? Mine can't. Can you afford to pay an in-home caregiver? I can't.
So the telescopic story is one of free resources and the skills of highly-trained professionals (skills gained with tax-payer subsidies) helping the well-insured and financially well-off overcome diseases and extend their lives, while medically qualified candidates without financial and social means run out of options. From a social justice perspective, this story mirrors the story of the United States in general: most of the resources flow up to the haves rather than trickle down to have-nots.
According to an AP report, "Wealthy people are more likely to get on multiple waiting lists and score a transplant, and less likely to die while waiting for one, a new study finds." Getting put on multiple transplant lists is not the only way that the haves can get ahead in the current system; they can also move to regions where the organ shortage is not as severe. Doing so can shave years off the waiting time.
Should you be an organ donor? It's not mine to say. Organ donation saves lives; it really does. And the professionals involved in organ transplantation are well aware of the social justice issues. Many are working on reforms. In the interim, you get to decide which story you want to be a character in: the microscopic version where you are an organ donor to a particular person in need, or the telescopic version where your organ becomes a resource in an economy that privileges those with financial means.
To return to AJ's case, it seems that he and his father had been put on the back burner by the transplant team for social reasons. Though the organ wasn't a scarce resource—it was donated to AJ specifically—their social situation wasn't recognizable to the team as "normal." AJ only received the transplant after a significant public outcry. Given that these are the fuzzy social criteria in play, until there's a significantly revised system of review of transplant candidates I'm keeping my PLOF-y organs.

About Idaho's Greatest Big Game
Many, if not most, of Idaho's best hunting memories and biggest game animals were products of the Golden Era (1955-1975). Many of the people who were fortunate enough to have hunted in that era witnessed things that today's hunters can only dream of.
Growing up as a native Idahoan in a small town, Ryan Hatfield was enamored with all of the history and heritage of hunting in Idaho. Ryan founded Idaho's Greatest Big Game as a way to help preserve and share many of those stories that are at risk of being lost forever. As the people who hunted Idaho's Golden Era begin to pass on, many of Idaho's best stories are disappearing. It is our hope and intention to preserve as many of these stories and photos as possible, before they, too, are nothing more than a passing thought or forgotten memory.
Our ongoing series of current and upcoming books is an attempt to not only preserve stories, but also to uncover lost ones. Several bucks in our first two books that were unknown at time of printing have now been identified, and a hunter's name and story has been reunited with a long forgotten or lost trophy.
We would like to encourage our readers to come forward with information on trophies we have been unable to locate and information on unknown trophies. Don't be shy!
Most importantly, if you have any good old-time Idaho hunting photos, journals, stories, or tips on all-time class big game animals, by all means contact us!
About Founder and Author, Ryan Hatfield
Ryan Hatfield was born in Council, Idaho in 1972. He attended Council High School and has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Forest Resources from University of Idaho.
He has been the Editor for Western Hunter Magazine since 2011 and has also worked as Managing Editor of Eastmans' Hunting & Bowhunting Journals and Assistant Director of Big Game Records for Boone and Crockett Club. In his younger days, he also worked in logging and commercial fishing.
Ryan has always been fascinated with hunting and Idaho history, so it seemed a natural fit to do something to preserve Idaho's hunting history and heritage. This journey began in earnest in 1998 and was partly inspired by his great-uncle, Henry Daniels, and his hunting stories of chasing big bucks in the Golden Era.
He hails from a hunting and outdoor family that has roots in western Idaho that date back to 1869. Exploring new territory and traversing familiar trails is what he lives for. He finds great inspiration in Idaho's limitless beauty, rugged and diverse landscape, and storied history.
When not working, writing books, exploring the outdoors, or coaching kids' sports, Ryan competes in professional lumberjack sports. He has been on the U.S. National team multiple times, hold several world records in hand-sawing, and has competed in the U.S., Canada, and Australia.
He and his wife, Kylee, have three children – Owen, Wyatt, and Rylee. They are being raised to appreciate the tough struggle that sports can teach and to love and appreciate wildlife and wild places.

Thunderstorms end Chicago Pride Parade early
CHICAGO -- Chicago police say the remainder of the city's Pride Parade has been canceled as thunderstorms roll through the area.
The department tweeted the message about three hours after Sunday's parade started, citing inclement weather.
As the storms hit, parade officials said they'd hold floats that hadn't left the start of the four-mile route. Emergency management officials advised attendees to seek shelter.
It was unclear how many floats remained when the parade was called off. Police and parade organizers didn't immediately return messages.
Much of the parade took place before the storms. Mayor Lori Lightfoot led the festivities as a grand marshal. She's Chicago's first openly gay mayor and walked alongside her wife, Amy Eshleman.
Sunday's parade marks the 50th anniversary of the police raid that sparked the modern-day gay rights movement.


To transfer titled property into your living trust, you must change the owner's name on the title document—from your name as an individual, to the trust's name. The trust is the new owner of the property.
Here are some details about transferring the title of various types of property. A separate article covers Transferring Real Estate into Your Living Trust.
It should be simple to reregister ownership of a bank account as trustee of your living trust or open a new account in the trustee's name. Just ask the bank what paperwork you need to submit.
To verify your authority, the bank may want to see a copy of your trust document or have you fill out its own form, often called a Trust Certification.
If you want to transfer title to a safe deposit box, you'll have to reregister its ownership, too. The bank will have a form for you to fill out.
Credit unions: If you want to transfer a credit union account to your living trust, you cannot simply change the name on the account. Because credit unions are membership organizations, the trust must qualify as a member of the credit union. Most credit unions accept living trusts as members. Ask your credit union for instructions.
Most people don't hold vehicles in trust, for reasons discussed in Vehicles and Property That Is Often Sold. But if you want to hold a vehicle in trust, you must fill out a change of ownership document and have title to the vehicle reissued in the trustee's name. The title certificate to your vehicle may contain instructions. If you have questions, call your state's motor vehicles agency or check its website.
Airplanes. The Federal Aviation Administration, which registers all aircraft, has forms for you to use. For information about its Civil Aviation Registry, check out the FAA's website at www.faa.gov.
How you transfer stocks, bonds and other securities to your living trust depends on whether you hold your stocks in a brokerage account or separately.
If you hold your stocks, bonds or other securities in a brokerage account, either change the account to your name as trustee or open a new account in that name. Simply contact your broker and ask for instructions. The brokerage company will probably have a straightforward form that you can fill out, giving information about the trustees and their authority.
a letter instructing the holder to transfer the brokerage account to (or open a new account in) your name as trustee.
After you've submitted your request, get written confirmation that the account's ownership has in fact been changed.
With some brokerage houses, you may run into a slight glitch. Here's what happens: When you go to transfer your account into your name as trustee, the brokerage house assigns it a new account number. Suddenly your property schedule, where you listed the account, has the wrong account number on it.
What to do? Just amend your property schedule to show the new account number. (See After a Grantor Dies.) Then replace the old schedule with the new one, and you're all set.
If you have the stock certificates or bonds in your possession -- most people don't -- you must get new certificates issued, showing that you hold the shares in trust. Ask your broker for help. If the broker is unwilling or unable to help, write to the "transfer agent" of the corporation that issued the stock. You can get the address from your broker or the investor relations office of the corporation. The transfer agent will give you simple instructions.
a copy of the trust document or a certification of trust.
The stock or bond power may be printed on the back of the certificates; if not, you can probably find a copy at an office supply store. Send these documents to the transfer agent with a letter requesting that the certificates be reissued in your name as trustee of the living trust.
To transfer government securities -- for example, Treasury bills or U.S. bonds -- have your broker contact the issuing government agency, or do it yourself.
Ask the company that issues the mutual fund what it requires for you to reregister ownership of your mutual fund account in your living trust's name. Most will send you an easy-to-use form to fill out. In addition, most will usually want a copy of your trust document or a certification of trust.
How you transfer small business interests to your living trust depends on the way the business is owned.
First, list the business, by name, as an item of property in the trust document. That transfers the name and whatever customer goodwill goes with it.
Because you own the business assets in your own name (a sole proprietorship, unlike a corporation, is not an entity that can own property), you transfer them as you would any other valuable property.
If you have a registered trademark or service mark, you must reregister ownership in the living trust's name.
Trademark: Legal Care for Your Business & Product Name, by Stephen Elias (Nolo), contains sample forms for reregistering trademarks.
Step 1: Fill out the stock transfer section on the back of the certificate.
Step 2: Mark the certificate "canceled" and place it in your corporate records book.
Step 3: Reissue a new certificate in your name as trustee.
Step 4: Show the cancellation of the old certificate and the issuance of the new certificate on the stock ledger pages in your corporate records book.
Normally, you can transfer your shares in a closely held corporation to your living trust by following corporate bylaws and having the stock certificates reissued in the living trust's name. But first, check the corporation's bylaws and articles of incorporation, as well as any separate shareholders' agreements, to see if there are any restrictions on such transfers. If an agreement limits or forbids transfers, it will have to be changed before you can hold your shares in trust.
Special rules for S corps. If you own shares in an S corporation, you cannot hold them in trust unless the trust is "qualified" under IRS rules. Consult a tax adviser.
To transfer a partnership interest, you must notify your business partners and modify the partnership agreement to show that your partnership interest is now held in trust. If there is a partnership certificate, it must also be changed.
Occasionally, a partnership agreement limits or forbids transfers to a trustee. If so, you and your partners may want to see a lawyer before you make any changes.
You should get the consent of all of the other owners before you can transfer your interest to yourself as trustee. (Even if your operating agreement requires the consent of only a majority of the other owners, it's a good idea to have everyone's consent, just to head off any difficulties.) Getting the other owners to agree shouldn't be a problem; they'll just want to know that you, as trustee of your own trust, will have authority to vote on LLC decisions.
To make the transfer, you'll need a document transferring your interest. You can use the Approval of Transfer of Membership form in Your Limited Liability Company: An Operating Manual, by Anthony Mancuso (Nolo).
Limited partnerships are a form of investment governed by securities laws. Contact the partnership's general partner to find out what paperwork is necessary to hold your interest in trust.
If you want to hold your interest in a copyright in trust, you should list the copyright in the trust document and then sign and file, with the U.S. Copyright Office, a document transferring all your rights in the copyright to yourself as trustee. Sample transfer forms are in The Copyright Handbook, by Stephen Fishman (Nolo).
If you own a patent and want to hold it in trust, you should prepare a document called an "assignment" and record it with the Patent and Trademark Office in Washington, DC. There is a small fee for recording. Sample assignment forms and instructions are in Patent It Yourself, by David Pressman (Nolo).
You can name your living trust as beneficiary of a life insurance policy, an individual retirement account (IRA) or a Keogh account. You don't (can't, in the case of retirement accounts) transfer the policy or account itself to the trust. You are the owner. The living trust is the beneficiary, which will receive the proceeds at your death.


about the lyrical problems in brunei,there as been underground death metal/black metal bands emerging to the public and becomig more well knowned. the issue here is that how people of brunei react and accept these type of music?
i know most metalheads are protestors and rebellions but we live in a civilized society and with a country well knowned of its morality and strong islamic beliefs. to metalheads,the pentagram symbol is something that is common but sometimes metalheads do not fully understand what they are portraying here,they just follow what's cool and whats the in thing right now,but the public sees the pentagram not as just a mere star,its a symbol of satanism filled with negative influences. lyrically,when people read black metal or death metal,its referring to darkness and bloody environmnt to picture subliminal issues such as corruption,war,chaos,when is it gonna end and all those stuff instead of all the negative stories of black metal rituals/suicide and whatnot,they mean something much more that stupid suicide,we're not talking about emo lyrics here,however the public instantly accept it to be related to satanism and whatnot. they forget the aspect of poetry and creative self expressions by means of music.
In my opinion, this all comes down to those who follow the music you mentioned about. There are people who simply love the music but not the 'darkness' side of it, there are those who like the music because of the satanism and such, there are who listen to the music but do not realise the meaning behind it. Lots of combination we can put there.
In my honest opinion, the public must not take it as an association with bad stuffs. They need to think critically about why people listen to such music, they must not blame the listeners just-like-that. I'm saying from a point of view of a guy who has friends who like such music but not the mindset the music might want to offer (if there's any).
Location : G-town as it once used to be called.
take a more commercial music for a thought,say hiphop,some contents may be in a hypnotic nature that brings about materialism in our culture,the video clips portray sexual contents,if thats the case,hip hop is too a dangerous music for the community.
however its the presentation of music to the ears differ to the taste of music freaks around the globe.traditional metal might eventually become more melodic and thus the lyrics become less significant to the listeners. Hiphop,R'n'B or any other type of music,country,jazz,ballad all presented clearly with words and may have swear words,imagine screaming f*ck and literally singing it,screaming will be least noticed.
My opinion is that no matter what genre is the song, its really whats in your mind isn't it? Just that the thoughts are brought out and presented through songs and of course through the lyrics. Maybe alot of metalheads out there (foreign country) sing about Satanism, Lucifer etc is because they believe in (or have thoughts) about it. So we don't really need to follow suit in order to be a band. We can sing about what we think of and what we believe in.

ENHYPEN Aim To Be K-Pop's Next Global Name: 'We Want Fans & The Public To Think Of Us'
Former cop sentenced in accidental shooting death of pal
/hollywood-entertainment,
Hollywood&Entertainment
BELIFT LAB
Securing yourselves as one of the top-selling acts in one of the biggest music markets in the world in a year would be more than satisfactory for most artists—but ENYHPEN is aiming way bigger.
Since their official debut onto the music scene in November 2020, ENHYPEN has taken the international fandom that watched how 23 K-pop hopefuls whittled into the seven-member boy band they are today and kept a close and open dialogue. Members Jungwon, Jay, Sunghoon, Jake, Heeseung, Sunoo and Ni-ki have spoken about their hope to turn their stories as next-generation pop stars into "music that everyone can relate to" and in one year have connected with an increasingly growing and global audience.
Taking a moment to recount their first year together—that's included earning South Korea's ninth-biggest-selling album of 2021, landing several best new-artist awards, and making high-profile TV appearances around the world—the guys see themselves well on their way to reaching their intended vision.
"I think we achieved so much more in the past year than we actually imagined," says Jake in an early-morning video chat from Korea. "We received the Rookie of the Year award[s], we entered the Billboard charts, we met our fans through a fan meeting and performed on U.S. TV shows. So, I feel like all of these things make us feel very proud of and so thankful to have achieved them as a team."
MORE FROM FORBESENHYPEN Reflect On Global Success, Future Goals & 'Creating Music That Everyone Can Relate To'By Jeff Benjamin
Despite the gratitude on where their hard work has gotten so far, ENHYPEN is also clear that they're working for even larger goals and, with that, larger recognition.
"We worked really hard to perfect our flawless, synchronized group choreography," Jungwon shares. "But most of all I hope that not only ENGENEs, but all the general public can listen to our music and think of ENHYPEN as the 'final K-pop destination.' [We say 'final K-pop destination'] as it reflects our hopes that when fans think of K-pop, they automatically think of us. Our ENGENEs already love us a lot and give us support, but we would hope that the public would also think of ENHYPEN."
That mindset continues with ENHYPEN's latest release Dimension: Answer, a deluxe repackage of the group's full-length album Dimension: Dilemma from October that sold a massive 1.2 million copies worldwide, according to Korea's Gaon charts. It's also a reflective moment for the septet through lead single "Blessed-Cursed." With a sound that blends '70s hard rock with a modern-day Post Malone hip-hop twist, the track explores an all-too-common reality that fame and reaching one's desires isn't always all it's cracked up.
"'Blessed-Cursed' is about boys who learn more about reality and now realize that what they've been given is not quite a blessing but more of a curse," explains Heeseung. "As you know, ENHYPEN went through a survival TV show and, after our debut, we received the full support of the company and we grew while receiving so much support. Of course, we thought that was a blessing and we don't think of it as a curse per se like in the song. But we did have some difficulties with that—we realized certain responsibilities came with being an artist and we are looking for ways to show the best sides of ENHYPEN. That's the kind of parallel with the song and in our lives."
Jake adds that "just being an artist and having the mindset of an artist is something that we always need to improve on and develop as we go through this journey—I feel like there are a lot of little milestones and kinds of issues that we go through and navigate as artists."
Overall though, the guys note that their careers are ultimate blessings thanks to their fans ("The goals we reached are, most importantly, a reflection of the love and support from our ENGENEs," Jake adds) even if they fell on some hard times as a team during Year 1 ("Our full-length studio album came out a little later than we expected due to the pandemic situation and everything so we were a bit sad that we had to meet ENGENEs a little later than we thought"). They're determined to give back to ENGENEs in 2022 though.
So far, that has also included new Dimension: Answer song "Polaroid Love" that Sunoo explains tells the story of "boys who think that the special kind of moment that is in a Polaroid photo, the special kind of love that we feel through photographs, might last forever. That's a parallel to how we feel about the special moments that we share with ENGENEs—we hope they might go on forever and ever." Another note of the connection between the group and their music: youngest member Ni-ki is an avid fan and taker of Polaroids.
MORE FROM FORBESMeet ENHYPEN: Belift Lab's New K-Pop Boy Band Shares Goals & What You Didn't See On TVBy Jeff Benjamin
But ENHYPEN's biggest hope is that they can spread their messages with overseas traveling this year to have their fans—as well as the general public—see what they really can do in person.
"We weren't able to meet our fans overseas, so any opportunity to meet them would be really great," Sunoo notes, before adding, "Although we speak different languages, we really think that we can connect with them through our music and performances."
Jay says that "We didn't get to meet ENGENEs a lot this year so hopefully next year things go well and we have more chances to meet them" with Jungwon adding, "We debuted during the pandemic so we weren't able to see our fans that much but until then we hope they all stay healthy and we hope to see you in person too."
And if the slick-yet-aggressive choreography of the "Blessed-Cursed" choreography is any indication, audiences around the world will, no doubt, also be hooked the moment they get a chance to see ENHYPEN in person too.

David's Got You Covered (Week of 9/22/10)
By David Harper | September 26th, 2010
Posted in Columns | % Comments
Brandon is tied up this week, so I'll be handling the cover touting duties for the week. Except I get the unfortunate distinction of having to write about one of the worst release weeks in terms of titles in…well, as long as I can really remember. This week only one cover really kills it for me, and Dustin Nguyen's Batman: Streets of Gotham #16 cover being a satisfactory entry that I don't get a lot out of (mostly because I don't read the book). So what book is the whole of the list this week?
Cover of the Week: Fables #98
Illustrated by: Joao Ruas
When it was announced that James Jean was going to be leaving Fables, fans of the book responded with a blend of abject terror and pure sadness. It makes sense though: James Jean is perhaps the greatest cover artist in the industry, and his run on Fables was so good they released all of them as a book (sorry to 52 fans, but James Jean's Fables book > JG Jones' 52 book).
Then it was announced that relative unknown artist Joao Ruas from Brazil would be taken over, and people were skeptical. His early works were tied to "The Great Fables Crossover," which likely led to admonishment by osmosis, but there was a lot of beauty in them. Throughout his run, the covers have gotten better and better, culminating in this gem that features the newly revitalized Rose Red along with her Boy Blue loving compatriots.
It fills all of my needs for a great cover: tells the story inside the book with just one powerful image; works as a standalone piece of art; and has an immediate connection with me as a reader that tells me "this book will be quality." I love the glow that Ruas layers upon all of the aspects of the image, almost as if our Boy Blue is returning off camera, basking his loving compatriots and followers with his bright light. It's powerful and just a gorgeous image.
