In some ways, The Con is that album most of us secretly hope our favorite band is just about to make: one where the raw desire to share their story leaves things a little rough around the edges. You may struggle a little to find your connection with albums like this one: They can be unsettling, a little off-center, odd in tone and difficult to understand, at first. But once you get there, after moving through the dissonance and making it to the other side, the bond that you share with that music can become so meaningful that it just might stay with you forever.
The fact that Tegan and Sara are out and proud lesbians is so healing and perfect and beautiful. Thinking about them going home to their girlfriends and loving them and holding them and being intimate with them, another woman is so amazing and it’s almost hard to believe it’s real. I just find it so unbelievable that people I admire and love and look up to are out and proud and gay and happy because it makes me feel like I can be just like them someday.

SAN CISCO SIGN WITH ALBERTS World-wide publishing agreement signed
Posted on 8 Nov 2011
ALBERTS is absolutely thrilled to announce that Indie poppers SAN CISCO have joined the independent music rights company’s group of talented music creators. ALBERTS will be representing the worldwide publishing of the Fremantle based group.
ALBERTS have been fans of SAN CISCO since they first heard their King George demos 2 years ago. Catchy hooks, clever songwriting and bright melodies created by Jordi Davieson, Josh Biondillo, Nick Gardner & Scarlett Stevens, impressed everyone from the very beginning.
“When I first heard Golden Revolver I loved it! This is a unique young band bursting with creative energy, who have a real shot internationally. We're looking forward to working with Phil [Stevens] and our partners around the world to help San Cisco grow,” said Michael Szumowski, Head of Creative Development at Alberts.
Esteemed manager Philip Stevens is also delighted to be working closely with Alberts.
“It is an amazing pleasure to have San Cisco partner with Alberts worldwide. Alberts and Philip Mortlock in particular, were the first publishers to say they liked their music and their songs, over 2 years ago. The team at Alberts have since shown an immense passion for San Cisco's music, and have displayed great A & R skills in courting the band to their company,” said Philip Stevens. “At a time when most companies are looking for completed projects, Alberts still believe in the development process and can identify potential at an early stage.”
It’s an exciting time for SAN CISCO. Coinciding with Jordi’s high school exams and getting ready for shows across the country, their infectious new song ‘Awkward’ has smashed into the Australian Alternative Airplay Charts topping it at #1 and remains there this week for its 2nd consecutive week.
SAN CISCO join fellow ALBERTS songwriters ROSCOE JAMES IRWIN, MEGAN WASHINGTON, LEE GROVES, SEABELLIES, OLD MAN RIVER, HARMONY JAMES, DAVID GUETTA, HARRY VANDA, GEORGE, MALCOLM & ANGUS YOUNG to name just a few.
So what do the SAN CISCO think of today’s big announcement?
"Totally stoked to be joining the Alberts family..... Who's having Xmas this year?!" said Jordi Davieson.
We’ll be seeing you at the dinner table in December SAN CISCO! Welcome to ALBERTS!

The scenic drive from Queenstown to Kingston offers 40 km of mountain and lake scenery. Learn how to get there and see a video of what to expect on this scenic drive on the edge of Lake Wakatipu.
The scenic drive from Queenstown to Kingston follows State Highway 6 and is approximately 40 km (25 mi) in length.
Driving at about 100 km/h (62 mph), it would take approximately 25 – 30 minutes to drive from Queenstown to Kingston.
However, you won’t be able to drive 100 km/h consistently, because of the many curves in the road.
The road is pretty flat and straight from the roundabout at Queenstown airport until it starts skirting the edge of Lake Wakatipu, where it then becomes hilly and winding.
A large part of this section of State Highway 6 runs along the Eastern edge of Lake Wakatipu.
You’ll get scenic views of mountains and of Lake Wakatipu during this entire scenic drive. There are a few picnic spots along the way, but the best one I’ve found is the third one when coming from Kingston. When you’re driving towards Kingston, you can spot it easily, because its a protrusion that looks kind of like a beach.
There isn’t much to see when you reach Kingston, the town at the Southern end of Lake Wakatipu. It is a small and quiet town. From the main road into the town (King Street), you can take a right turn onto Churchill Street to get to a spot where you can enjoy the views from the Southern end of Lake Wakatipu. There is a bench there where you can sit, have lunch, and enjoy the view.
How to get to Queenstown
The quickest and easiest way to get to Queenstown is by catching a flight to Queenstown airport.
If you’re driving from Christchurch, drive South in the direction of Timaru on State Highway 1. On State Highway 1, once you’ve passed Ashburton, you’ll see a sign for Mount Cook (Aoraki) and Geraldine. Hook onto State Highway 79 to Geraldine.
Continue driving on State Highway 79 until you reach Fairlie. In Fairlie, take State Highway 8 to Mount Cook and Tekapo. This can be seen as the best route from Christchurch to Lake Tekapo.
The drive from Christchurch to Queenstown can take up to 7 hours. While there are long and straight stretches of road, you’ll be going through mountain passes, and the road will get hilly and winding at times.
It’s less scary than it sounds, though. This drive can become uncomfortable, because of the length of time you’ll have to sit behind the wheel. But you can take several breaks from driving along the way to better enjoy the scenery. And if you’re wondering, there are public toilets in a few of the towns along this route.
Basic info for the scenic drive from Queenstown to Kingston

Indian Crypto Industry Reps Call for Reduction in Certain Taxation Rules Indian Crypto Industry Reps Call for Reduction in TDS
The call for reducing Tax Deduction at Source (TDS) on crypto transactions is intensifying among the crypto ecosystem players in India. A TDS of 1% on virtual digital assets has been approved by the Union budget 2022-23. Terming this too high as it can drive traders away from the market and hurt volumes, industry representatives are demanding to bring it down in the range of 0.01% to 0.05%.
Unocoin, CoinDCX CEOs Call for TDS Reduction
Sathvik Vishwanath, co-founder and CEO of one of the oldest Indian crypto exchanges, Unocoin (2013), on Tuesday, said in a tweet, “I am nowadays meeting traders who are leaving India just because they cannot tolerate TDS. Govt is not going to achieve revenue this way. Even for Govt, it should be a volume game.”
Last week, Sumit Gupta, co-founder and CEO of CoinDCX, now the highest valued crypto startup in India, said:
“At the industry, we are engaging with the government and have submitted a presentation on how 30% tax and more than that, 1% TDS is detrimental to the growth of the industry. It will lock up capital for traders and suck liquidity from the market. If liquidity is not there, retail investors will suffer.”
Meanwhile, the government is planning a tougher tax environment for crypto businesses. Last week, media reports suggested that Indian tax authorities are planning to put crypto activities under the highest 28% GST slab, usually reserved for non-essential and luxury activities such as betting, gambling, and horse racing.
“We will try to make it simple at our end but we still continue to engage and keep the dialogue open with the government asking them to bring down TDS to 0.01 or 0.05 percent. Income Tax of 30 percent is also on the higher side, which we are requesting them to bring down,” Gupta added.
Income Tax, TDS on Crypto Activities
The Budget 2022-23 brought much-needed clarity about taxes on crypto profits and transactions. A 30% capital gains tax is levied on profits made on crypto transactions without the provision to offset losses. The tax rate is the same as applicable to income from speculative transactions such as horse racing.
It also proposed 1% TDS on payments above Rs 10,000 (Appr. $125) made for the acquisition of virtual digital assets in a financial year. The threshold is raised to Rs 50,000 (Appr. $725) for individuals and families required to get their accounts audited under the I-T Act. The capital gains tax has become effective from April 1, while the TDS will be levied from July 1, 2022.
During the debate on budget proposals in March, some parliamentarians observed that bad crypto regulation will cause an innovation exodus. These remarks turned out to be prophetic as, within the first ten days of the new taxation policy, trading volume at major exchanges dropped significantly.
This, coupled with a denial of instant retail payment services UPI to crypto exchanges by the regulators, added to the turmoil, leading to the closure of trading in INR at Coinbase, WazirX, and CoinSwith Kuber.

This is a two-part unit on using spinal opioids to manage postoperative pain. Part 1 outlined the pharmacology of spinal opioids. Part 2 discusses the selection of patients and their nursing care. It also focuses on the incidence of and response to adverse effects. For further information on contraindications, nursing care and patients’ clinical requirements, see Portfolio Pages.
Bowrey, S., Thompson, J. (2008) Spinal opioids in postoperative pain relief 2: adverse effects. Nursing Times; 104: 31, 28-29.
Sarah Bowrey, MSc, RN, is research nurse; Jonathan Thompson, FRCA, MD, BSc, is senior lecturer and honorary consultant; both at university department of anaesthesia, critical care and pain management, University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust.
- Understand the role of spinal opioids in postoperative pain management.
- Be aware of the incidence and treatment of adverse effects of spinal opioids.
The administration of a single spinal opioid injection performed in combination with a spinal anaesthetic has the advantages of simplicity, reliability, a low dose requirement and the provision of predictable analgesia for the first 24 hours post surgery.
With spinal analgesia, there is no need for an infusion device, an infusion bag and an infusion-giving set as there is with patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) and epidural analgesia. This will result in potential financial savings.
Preoperative anaesthetic assessment is vital to assess patients’ suitability for spinal anaesthetic and a spinal opioid for postoperative analgesia (Coventry, 2007). Side-effects and potential risks must always be balanced against potential advantages.
Appropriate assessment and postoperative nursing care is essential if patients are to
be safely monitored postoperatively in a general surgical clinical environment.
Patients who have received spinal opioids must only be nursed in surgical wards where staff have specific training in managing them. The support of the acute pain service is vital to help with early recognition and treatment of complications (Rawal, 2007).
It should be clearly documented on the patient’s prescription chart that they have received a spinal opioid. Giving regular paracetamol as an adjunct will improve the efficacy of opioid analgesia and, if indicated, administering an NSAID can also reduce the need for rescue opioid analgesia (McQuay and Moore, 1998).
Appropriate rescue analgesia, an anti-emetic and naloxone should also be prescribed as needed, according to unpublished adult guidance developed by Cardiff and Vale NHS Trust.
Regular observations must be completed to ensure patient safety. This is especially important with spinal morphine because of the increased potential for late onset respiratory depression. Regular assessment of postoperative pain on movement is fundamental to effective pain management and it ensures postoperative mobility is optimised. A verbal rating scale tends to be short, easy to understand and use. A visual analogue scale (VAS) is validated for clinical use but some patients find it more difficult to understand than descriptor scales (Power and Atcheson, 2007). The pain assessment tool used must be consistent, appropriate for patients to understand and for clinical staff to complete. Observation of sedation scores, as well as assessments of blood pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation and respiratory rate, are essential.
Incidence of adverse effects
Irrespective of their route of administration, opioids have a similar side-effect profile including respiratory depression, sedation, pruritus, nausea, vomiting and urinary retention (Stoelting and Hillier, 2006).
The incidence of adverse effects is influenced by several factors including the route of administration, dose, patient’s physical condition and opioid tolerance. There is considerable variation in the frequency of these effects.
Respiratory depression is generally defined by a respiratory rate of less than eight respirations per minute, accompanied by an increased sedation score. It occurs at two time-points after the administration of spinal opioids.
Early respiratory depression, which is attributed to systemic opioid absorption, is typically witnessed 1-2 hours after opioid injection when the patient may still be in the post-anaesthesia care unit. Late onset respiratory depression is due to rostral spread of the opioids within the CSF. This affects the respiratory centres in the brain and occurs 6-24 hours after administration (Kanner, 2003). The latter is characterised by an initial increase in sedation score. The respiratory rate may remain normal in spite of significant hypercapnia (elevated arterial CO2 tension), and hypoxaemia (low arterial oxygen tension) may occur (Rathmell et al, 2005; Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists and Faculty of Pain Medicine, 2005).
This highlights the need to measure respiratory rate and sedation score together (Rawal and Allvin, 1996). Although pulse oximetry is widely used to monitor postoperative patients, practitioners should be aware that oxygen saturation levels may be normal despite significant respiratory depression, especially if the patient is receiving supplemental oxygen therapy.
Several factors are associated with an increased risk of respiratory depression. These include: increased patient age; high-dose spinal opioids; the opioid-naive patient; and concomitant use of sedatives or systemic opioids (Macintyre and Ready, 2001).
Jacobson et al (1989) observed respiratory depression in 80% of patients who received a morphine dose of 1mg, compared with 10% in those who received 0.5mg. The authors concluded that the higher dose had an unacceptable side-effect profile. The highest risk time period for this complication was 5-10 hours after administration.
If a patient suffers respiratory depression, boluses of 50-100mcg of naloxone should be administered intravenously until the patient is rousable. It is important to note that the duration of action of naloxone is shorter than that of morphine; therefore a naloxone infusion may be required.
Opioid-induced pruritus (itching) affects predominantly the nose, face and trunk. The precise mechanism of spinal opioid-induced pruritus is unclear but the ability of naloxone to reverse it assumes an opioid receptor mediated central mechanism (Rathmell et al, 2005). Histamine is not thought to be a contributory factor. Anti-histamines have sedative properties and, if administered for opioid-induced pruritus, they may contribute to increased patient sedation which may then be incorrectly attributed to the spinal opioid.
In clinical practice, small incremental doses of IV naloxone (50mcg) are effective for relieving spinal morphine-induced pruritus without affecting analgesia.
Nausea and vomiting
This is the most commonly observed side-effect of opioids. Patient groups most at risk are women, especially those undergoing gynaecological procedures, non-smokers and those with a history of motion sickness (Koivuranta et al, 1997).
Opioid-induced nausea or vomiting occurs as a result of stimulation of the chemoreceptor trigger zone in the medulla. The effect is intensified by vestibular stimulation, that is, any form of movement. There is little evidence of a dose-related effect. Anti-emetics work less well once symptoms have developed. It is more effective to routinely administer anti-emetics (for example, cyclizine 50mg tds) to all patients receiving postoperative opioids (Baxendale, 2007).
Urinary retention following the administration of spinal opioids is common but its true frequency is unclear as many patients are routinely catheterised. The mechanisms are multifactorial and include both an alteration in parasympathetic tone and the actions of central analgesia. The latter results in an increased pain threshold causing detrusor muscle relaxation and an increase in bladder capacity (Rathmell et al, 2005).
Urinary catheterisation is not necessary for all patients, however it may be required for patients who are uncomfortable and unable to void. This inability to void usually resolves 10-12 hours after opioid administration.
Regular pain assessment can facilitate the administration of supplementary analgesia at a predetermined pain score. With regular pain assessment and reassessment, once analgesia has been given, pain scores can be prevented from becoming severe (Bowrey et al, 2005). If analgesia is inadequate following administration of rescue analgesia, then supplementation with parenteral or oral opioids may be considered. Caution should be exercised in giving further strong opioids to ensure increased sedation and respiratory depression are avoided.
If the spinal opioid provides inadequate pain relief and the patient continues to report moderate to severe pain despite receiving the rescue analgesia recommended, then it may be necessary to commence a PCA. This would only be carried out following review by the acute pain service and/or anaesthetist, and initially small incremental morphine doses (for example 0.5mg intravenously) may be prescribed to reduce the risk of respiratory depression. After 24 hours, patients can be titrated on to an alternative oral analgesic regimen and routine postoperative observations continued according to clinical condition.
Spinal analgesia plays an important role in the postoperative management of patients undergoing a diverse range of surgical procedures. Patients do not have the physical restrictions of an external infusion device as with epidural analgesia.
Spinal opioid analgesia is safe and effective in many clinical areas including general surgical wards, provided patients are monitored and managed appropriately. Establishing the optimum dose of spinal morphine requires balancing the associated but treatable risks of adverse effects with the benefits of effective analgesia.

Genetic population structure of the net-winged midge, Elporia barnardi (Diptera: Blephariceridae) in streams of the south-western Cape, South Africa: implications for dispersal
1. The net-winged midges (Diptera: Blephariceridae), with highly specific habitat requirements and specialised morphological adaptations, exhibit high habitat fidelity and a limited potential for dispersal. Given the longitudinal and hierarchical nature of lotic systems, along with the geological structure of catchment units, we hypothesise that populations of net-winged midge should exhibit a high degree of population sub-structuring. 2. Sequence variation in the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) region of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) was examined to determine patterns of genetic variation and infer historical and contemporary processes important in the genetic structuring of populations of Elporia barnardi. The DNA variation was examined at sites within streams, between streams in the same range, and between mountain ranges in the south-western Cape of South Africa. 3. Twenty-five haplotypes, 641 bp in length, were identified from the 93 individuals sampled. A neighbour-joining tree revealed two highly divergent clades (5%) corresponding to populations from the two mountain ranges. A number of monophyletic groups were identified within each clade, associated with individual catchment units. 4. The distribution of genetic variation was examined using analysis of molecular variance (amova). This showed most of the variation to be distributed among the two ranges (80%), with a small percentage (15%) distributed among streams within each range. Similarly, variation among streams on Table Mountain was primarily distributed among catchment units (86%). A Mantel's test revealed a significant relationship between genetic differentiation and geographical distance, suggesting isolation by distance (P < 0.001). 5. Levels of sequence divergence between the two major clades, representing the two mountain ranges, are comparable with those of some intra-generic species comparisons. Vicariant events, such as the isolation of the Peninsula mountain chain and Table Mountain, may have been important in the evolution of what is now a highly endemic fauna. 6.

VP Sara: We can live without confi funds but work's easier if we have itBy ANNA FELICIA BAJO,GMA Integrated News
Vice President Sara Duterte on Monday said her office can live without confidential funds, however, these are needed to ensure the safety of the enforcement of projects.
Duterte faced the Senate committee on finance as the OVP seeks P2.385 billion budget for 2024. Of the total amount, the OVP is asking for P500 million in confidential and intelligence funds.
Duterte told senators that the OVP is not insisting for any amount, but the office's work would be much easier to accomplish if it will have confidential funds that will guarantee the safe implementation of its projects.
"The OVP can only propose the use of confidential funds based on Joint Circular 2015-01 but we leave it to the decision and discretion of Congress [which] has the power of the purse to decide whether to grant confidential funds to our office," she said.
"We can only propose but we are not insisting. We can live without confidential funds but of course our work will be much easier if we have the flexibility of confidential funds in monitoring the safe, secure, and successful implementations of the programs and projects and activities of the OVP," she added.
Duterte said all of the OVP's projects would benefit from the confidential funds.
"All of the projects of the Office of the Vice President use the confidential funds, it is intended for the safe, secure, and successful implementations of programs, projects, and activities and engagements of me and all the satellite offices including the central office of the Office of the Vice President," she reiterated.
Confidential expenses refer to those related to surveillance activities in civilian government agencies that are intended to support the mandate or operations of the agency.
The Joint Circular No. 2015-01, issued by Commission on Audit (COA) and four other government bodies on January 8, 2015, governs the spending of intelligence and confidential funds, as well as the auditing of expenses under it.
In the budget hearing, Duterte was grilled by Senator Risa Hontiveros about the use of the confidential funds as the latter had pointed out the limited range of purpose for using the funds.
The senator also asked the Vice President if the OVP has been gathering intelligence on certain subjects as well as entities. In response, Duterte confirmed that the OVP has been doing intelligence gathering.
"That is correct. As an example, we did a surveillance of complaints from constituents in Bulacan, with regard to the selling of OVP assistance and the selling of TUPAD projects in Bulacan," Duterte said.
"And there was a surveillance operation that was ran by the VPSPG for about a month and we were able to apprehend the person and we were able to successfully prosecute the case and that person went to jail for six months," she added.
She also said intelligence information starts "from the ground" or from communities and stakeholders, and not with other security forces.
She maintained that "there is no redundancy or duplication of effort because we have different mandates from the other government agencies."
Meanwhile, Duterte also said the OVP has been sharing the confidential information that it has been collating with the police and the military.
"Whatever we gather from our confidential funds and surveillance, we share it with mainly the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine National Police as well as they share as well intelligence information that they gather, which are not included in our database," she said.—AOL, GMA Integrated News

New England editorial roundup
The New Haven (Conn.) Register, June 30, 2014
It was a sweeping expansion of the power of corporations and the concept of "corporate personhood" that could have wide-ranging implications on the health, safety, well-being and rights of employees.
Or a backflips-requiring farce of an attempt by five Catholic men to narrowly side with a specific religious belief to which they are sympathetic.
In a 5-4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the retail chain Hobby Lobby and similarly "closely held" private companies can refuse to pay for health insurance coverage of contraceptives if it is contrary to the religious beliefs of its owners.
Previous court precedent has established the dangerously flawed idea that a corporation has some of the same kind of constitutional rights as individuals. This has included the "free speech" right to spend a lot of money donating to political campaigns and influencing elections. Now, apparently, a corporation itself can invoke freedom of religion.
But a corporation is a construct deriving its existence from laws designed to limit the personal liability of the individuals who own it. The standards a corporation are held to impact the well-being of its employees. Corporations are involved in all kinds of functions subject to health and safety regulations that protect the public.
In her dissent, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote: "Religious organizations exist to foster the interests of persons subscribing to the same religious faith. Not so of for-profit corporations. Workers who sustain those corporations commonly are not drawn from one religious community."
Corporations can't discriminate based on religion in hiring employees. They can't refuse to serve an interracial couple at their store or lunch counter, invoking religious beliefs, or in most of the country now, discriminate because they object to someone's sexual orientation. Hobby Lobby is choosing to cover prostate exams for men, while denying what most of society and elected governments have deemed are basic gynecological services for women.
Ginsberg asks if the ruling extended to Jehovah's Witnesses, who object to blood transfusions; Scientologists, who are opposed to medication combating depression, or Muslims, Jews and Hindus, who might object to medical products derived from pigs, such as any prescription for pills coated with gelatin.
Well, in his majority opinion, Justice Samuel Alito made it clear: "This decision concerns only the contraceptive mandate and should not be understood to mean that all insurance mandates, that is for blood transfusions or vaccinations, necessarily fail if they conflict with an employer's religious beliefs."
In other words, objections based on the Catholic religion observed by the five men in the Supreme Court's majority in this case are valid, but not the objections of religions they do not follow.
"Approving some religious claims while deeming others unworthy of accommodation could be perceived as favoring one religion over the other," Ginsberg wrote in her dissent, "the very risk the (Constitution's) Establishment Clause was designed to preclude."
The Concord (N.H.) Monitor, June 30, 2014
One of the most difficult jobs a parent has is striking a balance between allowing kids to be kids and making sure they are prepared for each stage of adolescence. The challenge is made even greater when the child craves the approval and admiration of peers.
As a study released last month in the journal Child Development makes clear, the popularity issue is something every parent needs to address.
Joseph P. Allen, a psychology professor at the University of Virginia and the lead author of the study, tracked 184 young people from age 13 to 23 to explore the long-term effects of what he calls pseudomature behavior. Specifically, Allen wanted to know whether popularity-seeking behavior among seventh- and eighth-graders — such as mild delinquency, intense romantic relationships, choosing friends based on attractiveness and hanging out with an older crowd — stunted or accelerated social development.
What the study found was that "early adolescent pseudomature behavior predicted long-term difficulties in close relationships, as well as significant problems with alcohol and substance use, and elevated levels of criminal behavior."
Allen also found that the behavior that makes a student popular in middle school is unlikely to make him or her popular in high school and early adulthood. This change in stature requires the teenager to adopt more extreme behavior to impress peers, who by that time in their own development are less likely to find such actions attractive.
Another critical problem caused by aggressively seeking popularity in early adolescence is the way it affects the overall maturation process.
"Pseudomature behaviors replace efforts to develop positive social skills and meaningful friendships and thus leave teens less developmentally mature and socially competent over time," Allen wrote.
Unfortunately, the study doesn't provide advice on how parents can help their children understand that the quest for popularity won't lead to happiness and fulfillment. The study's findings should, on the other hand, make the parents of popular or precocious middle schoolers ask themselves how their children gained and maintain such status, and whether they may pay a price farther down the road.
The main thing everybody should take away from Allen's investigation is timeless: The only lasting form of popularity is based on confidence, benevolence and individuality. Those are the qualities people yearn for in themselves and are attracted to in others. For parents, the goal isn't to convince their child that popularity isn't important but to make them believe it with all their heart — because their future well-being may depend on it.

The present invention relates to flexible double-layer polypropylene laminates for the packaging of food products, and in particular pasta foods.
Recently in the packaging field, especially in the food product sector, the use of laminated films for packaging has been developed more and more.
By laminated films are intended the materials resulting from the lamination of two or more films with different characteristics, which have a combination of the various characteristics of the component films used.
In the field of packaging food products, especially those intended to have a long shelf life, or anyway to be kept for a long time in a warehouse, a whole series of properties are required for the packaging and it is practically impossible to unite these in a single film, especially since very often the required properties are in contradiction with one another.
Thus, for example, for prolonged storage, satisfactory barrier qualities, especially towards gas and steam, and impermeability to grease and smells are required while for good handling qualities of the packages, the possibility of filling while hot, high resistance to damage by knocking and ease of labelling are required.
With the lamination of two or more films with different characteristics, these difficulties can be overcome by the realisation of various combinations of properties, even if in contradiction which one another, which make possible the solution of specific problems in the packaging field.
One of the laminated films more used for the preparation of packagings for food products, particularly for products perishable through the effect of dampness, is the material obtained by laminating a bistretched isotactic polypropylene film with a low density, polyethylene film.
In this material the polyethylene allows the welding and hence the closing of the packages, particularly of envelopes and bags, while the oriented polypropylene film gives mechanical durability and impermeability to steam.
These laminated films, which are non-toxic according to the regulations imposed by the health laws, besides allowing a high degree of protection of the contents, are also advantageous because they are odourless and tasteless, are easily worked and because of their good properties of brilliance and transparency allow the contents to be seen together with the decoration and the printing of the packagings.
The laminated, bistretched isotactic polypropylene/polyethylene films, while being very interesting for the above mentioned properties, have, however, several disadvantages, due above all to the polyethylene component in direct contact with the contents of the packages, which do not make them very suitable for the packaging of pasta foods.
As is known, the production cycle for pasta foods in modern industry provides for the packaging of the pasta to follow immediately after their preparation.
For this reason the pasta foods coming, still hot, from the drying oven are sent to the automatic filling machines which carry out both the formation of the packagings (envelopes, bags and parcels) starting with the laminated film and also their filling and sealing.
The principle of operation of these machines is that of forming from the laminated films a kind of longitudinally-sealed tube; weighed quantities of product are then inserted into the tube to fill parts of the tube between two successive transverse sealings, formed by hot blades or heated bars.
The separation of the filled packages takes place by cutting near the transverse sealing line with a cold blade. Therefore in the case of pasta foods the laminated films require, besides the above characteristics, also good holding of the seals when hot, and furthermore high strength of the said seal when cold.
In particular good holding of the seals when hot allows the filling to be carried out, above all in the case of large quantities of hot products, without giving rise to deformation or worse, opening of the seals with escape and loss of the products.
High strength of the seals allows the packages to bear all the handling which occurs during transport and distribution of the packages without tear and damage of the said seals.
These characteristics are not possessed by bistretched polypropylene/polyethylene laminated films, particularly the polyethylene component.
Furthermore, especially for pasta with pointed shapes, such as spaghetti and short pasta, good resistance to piercing and resistance to abrasion are required for the packages, the first to avoid tearing of the packages and the second to prevent formation of lines and opaqueness which reduce the transparency and shine of the packages.
In the art polyolefin laminates have been considered in which the outer layer always consists of a film of oriented polypropylene, while the inner layer consists of a film produced from a mixture in which low-density polythene is partially or completely substituted by isotactic polypropylene or by ethylene/propylene copolymers which, besides having good characteristics of resistance to piercing and resistance to abrasion also give an improved seal strength.
These laminated films are not, however, completely satisfactory especially with regard to the holding of the seal when hot.
It is possible for example for deformations and ruptures of the seals to occur which are naturally greatly facilitated if the seals themselves are subjected to a high load or to additional thermal action, such as occurs during the packaging of pasta when the seals of the packages are stressed both by the weight and by the heat of the pasta coming from the drying oven.
The object of this invention is to provide laminated films suitable for the packaging of food products, particularly pasta foods, even in pointed shapes, which besides having high resistance to piercing and to abrasion, combine the characteristics of high strength and good holding of the seal when hot.
It has now been found that the achievement of this is possible when a bistretched isotactic polypropylene film is laminated to a non-oriented film prepared from a mixture of isotactic polypropylene and atactic polypropylene, the latter in a quantity of from 15 to 30% by weight of the total weight of the non-oriented film.
This invention relates, therefore, to flexible laminated films for the packaging of food products consisting essentially of:
a bioriented film prepared from isotactic polypropylene with an atactic polypropylene content of less than 6% by weight and a value of the intrinsic viscosity, measured in decalin at 135° C. with an UBBELOHDE viscometer (standard ASTM D 1601),of from 1.5 to 3.0 dl/g;
a non-oriented film prepared from a mixture of isotactic polypropylene and atactic polypropylene, the latter in a quantity of from 15 to 30% by weight of the total weight of the non-oriented film, the said isotactic polypropylene having an intrinsic viscosity (standard ASTM D 1601) within the range of from 1.0 to 1.5 dl/g and the said atactic polypropylene having a density (standard ASTM D 1505) within the range of from 0.855 g/cm3 to 0.865 g/cm3 and a viscosity when fused at 16020 C. determined with a rotational viscometer within the range of from 3,000 to 10,000 cps.
The percentages of atactic are given with reference to the total portions which can be extracted in n-heptane in eight hours of boiling.
The films can be laminated with each other by the conventional method of lamination by adhesive. The adhesive, diluted with solvent, is smeared on the supporting film (isotactic polypropylene) or on both films in quantities (calculated on the dry matter) of from 1.5 to 3 g/m2 of surface.
The solvent evaporates during passage through a hot-air drying tunnel.
The lamination of the films takes place in the passage between two laminating cylinders, heated at the optimal temperature for the tempering of the adhesive and for obtaining the best adhesion, generally at a temperature of from 60° to 80° C.
The surfaces of the films which are made to adhere may be pretreated, before the application of the adhesive, by one of the known methods for increasing the adhesion of components to be laminated, such as treatment with electric discharges emitted by high-frequency generators, flame treatment and chemical treatment.
The adhesive can be of the thermoplastic or thermo-hardening type; in the latter case it consists, in general, of two components which are mixed together a little before application, as is already known in the art for the preparation of laminates.
Polyurethane adhesives dissolved in organic solvents such as methyl ethyl ketone and ethyl acetate in concentrations of from 15 to 40% by weight can be used with advantage.
The operations of extrusion and stretching of the starting films are carried out according to known processes. The thickness of the films is regulated so that it is within the range of from 20 to 35 microns.
The starting materials may have added to them, before extrusion, additives commonly used in the art of film production, such as stabilizers, lubricants and pigments.
To the mixture of isotactic and atactic polypropylene are added with advantage before extrusion antioxidants chosen from substituted phenols, singly or mixed together, in quantities of from 0.05 to 0.2% by weight and some slip-agents chosen from the amides of saturated or unsaturated fatty acids and aliphatic tertiary amines, either singly or mixed together, in quantities of from 0.05 to 0.2% by weight, preferably mixed with inert fillers such as silica and diatomite in quantities equal to or about equal to those of the amines or amides.
The films laminated according to the present invention are characterized both by a high strength of the seals when cold and also good holding of the said seals when hot.
Without wishing in any way to be tied to a theory, we think that these characteristics are closely dependent on the fact that the sealing is due in a particular way to the presence of the atactic poplypropylene in the non-oriented film.
As is known, the principle on which the process of heat sealing of films is based consists of heating the contact surfaces by suitable means to a temperature sufficient to induce satisfactory softening of the material. The softened parts are at the same time pressed together so as to diffuse mutually one into the other creating an homogeneous whole which, when solidified constitutes, in practice, the seal.
It is thought therefore, that one of the most important phenomena which gives rise to the sealing is the capacity of the softened polymer to diffuse in the contact area, which capacity is directly proportional to the degree of fluidity of the polymer itself.
Furthermore, of great importance to the sealing, above all in respect of the holding when hot, is the speed of the solidification, which depends both on the quantity of the material involved and on the required temperature change.
The quicker the speed of solidification the greater is the holding of the seal when hot.
At the temperature indicated for sealing, the capacity of atactic polypropylene for diffusion is very high so that even reduced quantities, such as those illustrated, are able to guarantee a high-strength seal.
The reduced quantity of material involved in the solidification and moreover the small temperature change necessary for the solidification of atactic polypropylene guarantee for the latter a high speed of solification and therefore a good holding of the seal when hot.
These characteristics shown by the atactic polypropylene are not found, or are found in a very reduced measure, with polythene, isotactic polypropylene and ethylene/propylene copolymers.
It is to be noted furthermore that for laminated films in which the concentration of the atactic polypropylene is less than 15% by weight of the total weight of the non-oriented film too high sealing temperatures are needed which lead to weakening and wrinkling of the outer, oriented polypropylene film. On the other hand, concentrations of atactic polypropylene greater than 30% cause exudation in the laminated film which deleteriously affect the slipability and the quality of the film.
The good properties of holding when hot and strength when cold of the seal, together with the high resistance of piercing and to abrasion and also, at the same time, characteristics of non-toxicity, of barrier to steam and excellent brilliance and transparency, allow the laminated films of the present invention to be used advantageously in the packaging of food products, particularly pasta foods.
This invention will now be illustrated by the following Examples which do not, however, limit its scope in any way.
A film was prepared from an isotactic polypropylene with an atactic percentage of less than 5% and with an intrinsic viscosity of 2.3 dl/g.
For this purpose the molten polymer was extruded through a straight slit which ensures that the film obtained has a thickness of 30 microns. After cooling the film by contact with rollers having jackets with an internal water circulation the film was stretched longitudinally by a series of rotating rollers of different speeds and transversally in a machine of the "rameuse" type such that the bioriented film had a longitudinal tensile strength of 11 Kg/mm2 and a transverse tensile strength of 22 Kg/mm2 (standard ASTM D 882).
The bistretched film was then smeared with about 3 g/m2 (drymatter) of UNOFLEX polyurethane adhesive made by the POLYMER INDUSTRIES Company, in 25% solution in methy ethyl ketone, by means of a system of rollers dipping into a basin containing the said adhesive. The smeared film was then passed through a hot tunnel to evaporate the solvent.
At the same time, a non-oriented film was prepared by the same method as used above, starting with a mixture of isotactic polypropylene having an intrinsic viscosity of 1.3 dl/g and atactic polypropylene having a density of 0.857 g/cm3 and a viscosity of 6000 cps at 160° C., the latter being present in such a quantity that the atactic polypropylene content of the non-oriented film was equal to 15% by weight.
The EAST BOND product M-5 W of Eastman Kodak was used as the atactic polypropylene.
To the mixture was also added about 0.1 parts for every 100 parts by weight of the mixture of the antioxidant product IRGANOX 1076 of the CIBA Company together with about 0.2 parts for every 100 parts by weight of the said mixture of the slip-agent ARMID O made by the AKZO Company (mixture of oleamide and palmitamide) and about 0.1 parts for every 100 parts by weight of the said mixture of SYLOID 244 (synthetic silica) made by the GRACE Company.
The final non-oriented film has a modulus of elasticity (standard ASTM D 882) of 55 Kg/mm2, a density of 0.895 g/cm3 (standard ASTM D 1505) a coefficient of static friction (SLIP) (standard ATSSM D 1694) of 0.46 and a transparency (HAZE) (standard ASTM D 1003) of 2.5.
The lamination of this non-oriented film with the bioriented film was carried out in the passage between two laminating cylinders heated to 70° C.
The laminated film thus obtained had a thickness of about 55 micron and showed the characteristics illustrated in the following Table 1.
The test of Example 1 was repeated, the composition of the mixture used in the preparation of the non-oriented film being modified. More precisely such a quantity of atactic polypropylene was used that the atactic polypropylene content of the non-oriented film was equal to 20% by weight. The final non-oriented film had the following properties: modulus of elasticity of 50 Kg/mm2, coefficient of static friction of 0.45 (SLIP) and transparency (HAZE) of 2.5.
The lamination of this non-oriented film with the bioriented film as in Example 1 resulted in a laminated film with a thickness of about 55 micron which showed the characteristics illustrated in the following Table 1.
The test of Example 1 was again repeated, a quantity of atactic polypropylene being used in the preparation of the non-oriented film however such that the content of atactic polypropylene in the non-oriented film was equal to 25% by weight. The final non-oriented film had the following properties: modulus of elasticity of 50 Kg/mm2, coefficient of static friction of 0.45 and transparency (HAZE) of 2.5.
The laminated films obtained after lamination with the bioriented film as in the Example 1 had a thickness of about 55 micron and had the characteristics illustrated in the following Table 1.
The test of Example 1 was repeated, the composition of the mixture used in the preparation of the non-oriented film being modified. More precisely, a quantity of atactic polypropylene was used such that the atactic polypropylene content of the non-oriented film was equal to 10% by weight. The final non-oriented film had the following properties: modulus of elasticity equal to 70 Kg/mm2, coefficient of static friction of 0.40 and transparency (HAZE) of 3.
The lamination of this non-oriented film as in Example 1 resulted in a laminated film with a thickness of about 55 micron which had the characteristics illustrated in the following Table 1.

In practice this is carried out in the following way: a ring is formed from a strip o the material to be subjected to the test, the edges necessary to weld it being left outside. A steel sheet, folded on itself, (spring) is inserted into the ring with its free ends near to the point at which the welding o the material must be carried out. In this way, as soon as the sealing bar open, the tendency of the spring to straighten itself exercises a certain force which tends to tear the newly formed weld. (4) The strength of the weld "when cold" (at room temperature) is determined on welds formed at 135° C. 140° C. and 145° C. respectively with a SENTINEL welder with a contact time equal to 1 second and a pressure equal to 2.5 Kg/cm2. In practice this is carried out in the following way: after the welding of the laminated film has been effected, a test piece of width equal to 1 cm is cut and the rupture resistance of the weld is evaluated by means of an INSTRON dynamometer.

Home / Life Insurance / Adviser slams ‘hijacked’ commissions debate
11 June 2019
The Federal Government and corporate regulator’s “obsession” with conflicted remuneration is blinding them to the need to ensure consumers have access to financial advice, a leading adviser warns.
Connect Financial Service Brokers CEO Paul Tynan says advice will become unaffordable for most people if all recommendations of the Hayne royal commission are implemented, forcing the Government to provide access to affordable advice in the areas of aged care, retirement planning, superannuation and debt management.
These issues will be magnified in regional Australia, which already suffers from a lack of advisers and proper connectivity, he says.
“Government, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission and the associations… have failed to understand why commissions were developed to be paid out of product and why this concept came about globally within financial services,” Mr Tynan says.
“Commission in these products had no connection with the ongoing servicing of clients and was developed ‘in product’ because the consumer could not afford or would not pay for the advice.”
Mr Tynan has attacked vested interests and major players pushing for the restructure, warning there is strong evidence they believe face-to-face advice should be only for those who can afford it.
Most people will have to access robo-advice and other impersonal technology, he warns.
“The Canberra bubble and self-interest groups have completely hijacked the advice debate and subsequent decisions have been made with no understanding about the effect this will have on consumers, their needs and affordability.”
Mr Tynan warns the industry will struggle to attract a new generation of advisers due to education debt, over-regulation, the industry’s tarnished reputation and an unfriendly business environment.

Do narcissists cry?
Yes, Narcissists Can Cry — Plus 4 Other Myths Debunked.
Crying is one way people empathize and bond with others.
If you’ve heard the myth that narcissists (or sociopaths) never cry, you might imagine this makes plenty of sense..
What it’s like living with a narcissist?
Living or working with a narcissistic person can be incredibly challenging, often leading to feelings of inadequacy, self doubt, and anxiety. In more extreme cases, exposure to a narcissist can lead to clinical depression from the emotional abuse and torment a person has had to endure.
Can living with a narcissist cause anxiety?
Anxiety and depression commonly develop as a result of narcissistic abuse. The significant stress you face can trigger persistent feelings of worry, nervousness, and fear, especially when you never know what to expect from their behavior.
Do narcissists feel bad for hurting you?
Narcissists can feel emotional pain, but not usually in the same way as others. The emotional pain they may feel is usually related to underlying selfish needs. Narcissists can feel emotional pain, but not usually in the same way as others.
Can a narcissist love you?
Narcissistic personality disorder (narcissism) is a psychiatric disorder characterized by a pattern of self-importance (grandiosity), a constant need for admiration and attention, and a lack of empathy for others. Because of this lack of empathy, a narcissist cannot really love you.
What are the 4 types of narcissism?
They’re self-absorbed, entitled, callous, exploitative, authoritarian, and aggressive. Some are physically abusive. These unempathetic, arrogant narcissists think highly of themselves, but spare no disdain for others.
What is at the root of narcissism?
Narcissism is the pursuit of gratification from vanity or egotistic admiration of one’s idealised self-image and attributes. The term originated from Greek mythology, where a young man named Narcissus fell in love with his own image reflected in a pool of water.
Can narcissists change?
The reality is that narcissists are very resistant to change, so the true question you must ask yourself is whether you can live like this indefinitely. Focus on your own dreams. Instead of losing yourself in the narcissist’s delusions, focus on the things you want for yourself.
How do narcissists control you?
Narcissists systematically minimize anything that makes them look or feel bad. They make excuses for their bad behavior by blaming others. They may deny outright that they have done anything destructive. Narcissists know that minimizing and stonewalling is hard for others to fight.
What Narcissists do to their victims?
They devalue their victims, purposefully seeking to make them feel worthless so that they may subjugate them to their will. The unrelenting mind games of the narcissist are incredibly damaging to those on the receiving end; they can lead to anxiety, depression, and a whole host of other psychological effects.
What drives a narcissist insane?
The thing that drives a narcissist crazy is the lack of control and the lack of a fight. The less you fight back, the less power you can give them over you, the better,” she says. And because they never think they’re wrong, they never apologize. About anything.
Do narcissists suffer?
“If they can recognize narcissistic behavior, then it’s probably not severe. Narcissists can get depressed, anxious, abuse substances and have problems in the family (for which they take no accountability) and usually it’s those types of issues that, as we get into them, we find a narcissistic core.”
How does a narcissist feel when someone dies?
They may feel helpless, shamed, or humiliated, and they may feel anger or blame themselves for the loss. In some cases, time helps heal people’s narcissistic injuries over a loss, Frosch continued. In others, it does not. People may become permanently aggrieved.
What happens when you stand up to a narcissist?
If you stand up to someone with a narcissistic personality, you can expect them to respond. Once you speak up and set boundaries, they may come back with some demands of their own. They may also try to manipulate you into feeling guilty or believing that you’re the one being unreasonable and controlling.
What percentage of CEOs are narcissists?
Narcissist CEOs are not nearly as prevalent as one might expect from reading the popular press. We found that only 5% could clearly be classified as narcissists. In contrast, 60% were described as high in humility.
How does a narcissist act when they are sick?
They expect everyone to cater to their needs if they are sick, in pain, or sad, or just want attention. Their needs come first and you will be punished for not meeting them, even if you are not well and have needs of your own.
What are the weaknesses of a narcissist?
Weaknesses of the Narcissistic LeaderSensitivity to criticism. … Lack of empathy. … Intense desire to compete. … Finding a trusted sidekick. … Indoctrinating their organizations. … Getting psychotherapy. … Empathize with your boss’s feelings. … Give your boss ideas, but let him take the credit for them.More items…
Can a narcissist make you physically ill?
Life with a narcissist can be extremely stressful, leading to depression or anxiety. It can also make you physically sick. You may feel it in the pit of your stomach. This isn’t surprising, as stress and dismay are often coupled with a gut disturbance.
Do narcissists feel guilt?
Since narcissistic individuals tend to report a reduced ability to feel guilt and usually report low on empathy (Hepper, Hart, Meek, et al., 2014; Wright et al., 1989), (b) we further expect a negative association between vulnerable narcissism and guilt negative behaviour evaluation, as well as a negative association …
Are narcissists ever happy?
Narcissists might have “grandiose” delusions about their own importance and an absence of “shame” – but psychologists say they are also likely to be happier than most people.
Are Narcissists intimidated?
Narcissists are either admired or intimidated. Instead of respecting and appreciating the people around them, they devalue them. Despite these typical behaviors, the term narcissist is actually not so easy to define, says Wardetzki.

While they may not get much attention, eyebrows are an important facial feature that can either help or hurt your overall appearance. A set of strong, well-groomed eyebrows can define and enhance your eyes and face. If you have thin or sparse eyebrows, thanks to overplucking, genetics, aging, or other causes, microblading at the plastic surgery practice of Scott E. Kasden, M.D. is a nonsurgical treatment that can give you fuller, natural eyebrows. This newer procedure uses a special semi-permanent ink and a skillful technique to fill in or reconstruct your eyebrows. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Scott Kasden offers microblading for Southlake, TX patients who want natural-looking, defined eyebrows. Schedule a consultation with a trained aesthetician to learn more about microblading and to develop your custom treatment plan.
"Dr. Kasden made my first surgery experience very comfortable, ensuring I knew all about my procedure, and giving me AMAZING results! He provides extremely well pre and post op care, and his office staff is always very friendly. I recommend him to everyone I know!"- C. / Healthgrades / Sep 18, 2018
"I am a 41yrs old black female and this is my first plastic surgery experience (performed Friday and today is Monday morning). I did my homework on the abdominoplasty procedure for months and scheduled several consultations. I'm so lucky that Dr. Kasden was my first consultation. He literally spent 2 hours with me discussing the procedure and answering my questions. He allowed me to watch a video of his work and he even drew a diagram so that I could better understand the procedure. Sharon, the office manager was just as awesome and personable and she was always available to answer my questions whenever I called. Recovery was tough at first, but Dr. Kasden and the staff at Baylor Hospital in Irving were stellar in being attentive and ensuring my comfort. Not only do I recommend Dr. Kasden for plastic surgery, but I'm already researching my next procedure (I want to transfer my own fat into my breasts). I cant see myself going to another surgeon."- S.P. / Yelp / Jul 08, 2019
"Dr. Scott Kasden is a skilled and compassionate cosmetic surgeon. His approach to surgery is collaborative and artistic, while at the same time provides an unmatched level of care and commitment to all patients."- D.C. / Google / Jun 19, 2019
"Dr. Kasden and his staff are very knowledgeable and curtious I felt very comfortable from the moment that I walked into the office. He was able to explain my procedure from prepping to actual surgery he kept an open line of communication and put me at ease by answering all my questions. I want to thank Dr kasden and his staff for taking great care of me during my treatment"- J.R. / Google / Jun 12, 2019
"Very professional and knowledgeable. Made me feel very comfortable. Highly recommend."- C.S. / Google / Jun 11, 2019
Microblading is for men and women in the Southlake, TX area who want a fuller or more defined shape to their eyebrows that lasts a long time and looks natural. Many patients who benefit from microblading typically have thin eyebrows that need to look fuller or have small areas that they wish to fill in. Thin eyebrows or bald spots may be caused by genetics, surgical scars, traumatic injury, overplucking, nutritional deficiencies, and aging. Unlike tattooed eyebrows, microblading creates a more natural-looking result, providing full coverage or filling in small areas of the brows. Microblading can also help add a slight arch to the brow for a better shape. Ideal candidates are in overall good health, are not pregnant, and do not have severe diabetes (high blood sugar levels can compromise the healing process).
Before your microblading session, you will receive a thorough consultation to look over the shape of your eyebrows. Based on the condition of your eyebrows along with your goals, a customized treatment plan will be created for your microblading session. The procedure can be performed in our office with a numbing cream or local anesthesia to minimize discomfort. Based on the extent of your treatment, the microblading process may take anywhere from about 1 – 3 hours. To start the process, your eyebrows will be lightly combed and expertly trimmed. Your brows will then be marked with a makeup pen, which acts as a marker for where the microblading will be used. Our office utilizes the highest quality of ink products along with a skillful technique to create natural-looking strokes that mimic individual hairs for your best results.
What to Expect
After your microblading procedure, you will be able to leave and resume all activities with no recovery time required. You may experience mild redness in and around the treated areas, but this usually dissipates in 1 – 2 hours. Your eyebrows will look much darker right after the microblading process, but they should fade to your desired shade in about two weeks. Our aestheticians recommend that you schedule a follow-up appointment about one month after your initial treatment to touch up and finalize your results. The results of microblading typically last about 1 – 2 years, but the process can be repeated to sustain the look of your eyebrows.
Plan Your Procedure
No more makeup pencils and eyebrow gels to get full defined eyebrows anymore when you undergo microblading at the plastic surgery practice of Scott E. Kasden, M.D. in Southlake, TX. Trained aestheticians create amazing, long-lasting results with this semi-permanent procedure to shape and define your eyebrows. With customized microblading treatments, you can have natural-looking eyebrows that enhance your whole face.
