Ulterground Records Releases “Notes Of The Observer”, The Second Full Solo Album by Stefan Kristinkov

 Ulterground Records ispleased to announce the release of the “Notes Of The Observer”, the next chapter in the enchanting musical world of Stefan Kristinkov.

Brooklyn, NY, August 30, 2024 -  Entitled 'Notes of the Observer', Stefan Kristinkov’s latest musical odyssey transcends conventional genres, weaving a tapestry of ambient electronic, new age, cross-over jazz, and neo-classical influences. Over eight years in the making, this album is a testament to Stefan’s dedication to crafting a sonic landscape that mirrors his deep reverence for nature and profound respect for musical craftsmanship.

Drawing from the ethereal textures of ambient electronic music pioneered by such artists like Brian Eno and Aphex Twin, Stefan constructs intricate soundscapes with elusive rhythms, characteristic for the Nature itself, that envelop the listener in a serene yet introspective atmosphere. The influence of new age artists such as Enya and Vangelis is palpable, with its emphasis on spiritual and meditative qualities, inviting listeners to embark on a contemplative journey through sound. Cross-over jazz elements add a dynamic flair to the album, infusing complexity and improvisational spirit into the compositions. Stefan’s mastery of the clarinet, an instrument both versatile and emotive, serves as a focal point, blending seamlessly with the post-minimalist aesthetics that underpin his compositional approach. Echoing the works of composers like Ludovico Einaudi and Max Richter, the neo-classical touchstones in 'Notes of the Observer' lend a timeless elegance to the music, characterized by its richness and sophistication.

Stefan’s clarinet performances are not just virtuosic displays but emotive expressions that resonate with the natural world he so deeply admires. Through his meticulous attention to detail and nuanced interpretations, he creates a mesmerizing cinematic experience that transcends language and speaks directly to the soul. Each composition is a 'note' from the observer’s perspective — an emotional vignette rather than a mere semantic statement — inviting listeners to reflect deeply on the profound ideas and interconnectedness found in the world around us.

'Notes of the Observer' is more than an album; it is a transformative musical journey, where each track unfolds like a chapter in a story, encouraging listeners to pause, contemplate, and rediscover the beauty and complexity of existence through the lens of music.

Notes Of The Observer is available on all major streaming and download platforms starting August 28th,
2024.

Sidel Launches Qual-IS™: The Intelligent Aseptic Quality Supervisor

 Sidel has introduced Qual-IS™, a cutting-edge solution designed to revolutionize quality control and food safety in aseptic production. Qual-IS™ integrates all aspects of quality management, including laboratory functions, traceability, and sampling, into a unified digital platform.

Emilia-Romagna, Parma, Italy  - 18 July 2024 - Qual-IS™ is the unique solution by Sidel to merge all activities related to quality control - laboratory, traceability, and sampling - in a digitally, intelligent and integrated way. It is a pioneering approach to quality management, focusing on driving quality rather than simply monitoring it. Over 80% of grocery companies define a financial risk from product recalls as either significant or catastrophic while almost 60% have been affected by a recall event in the last five years[1].  For all grocery brands quality control and food safety is their chief concern. 

“Qual-IS™ is our latest digital solution - a smart, dynamic quality control system, specifically designed to sustain a high level of quality control at all times thanks to its advanced traceability and data analytics,” explains Enrico Savani, Product Manager for Sensitive Product Filling.  “Our customers are able to secure food safety & quality with Qual-IS™ ensuring consumer satisfaction, trusted brand reputation, and boosting business and profitability.” 

Qual-IS™ is a digital solution accessed through mobile, desktop, or HMI installed on the production line and across laboratory facilities. Qual-IS™ integrates six key components including a sampling plan; laboratory management; traceability; hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP); calibration certificates and quality status.

An integrated process: traceability, sampling and laboratory management 
Traceability lies at the heart of Qual-IS™. Each bottle is allocated and printed with a unique code, which holds all the information connected to that bottle over the course of its manufacturing life including preform and cap used, product recipe, production process parameters and even critical factors, events and alarms. 

Equally, sampling is an essential part of quality control systems and Qual-IS™ comes pre-loaded with both tailormade and pre-designed sampling patterns which are based on a statistical approach and Sidel’s wider experience operating within the beverage industry for over fifty years. Using data intelligence, these sampling patterns will also automatically adjust following the results of microbiological tests and will also adapt to different production lines. 

Qual-IS™ integrates quality control procedures across all elements of the aseptic production line from preform blowing to laboratory management. Currently, data collected through quality control tests at the production stage and in the lab are often stored in separate databases. Qual-IS™ will now unite these two data collection points. 

Lab microbiologists will be able to access all information associated with individual bottles by scanning the unique code previously printed. This will indicate which quality control tests are required.  Information is presented in an easy-to-use data dashboard and reports are customisable and straightforward to export.

Driving not monitoring quality control 
Hazard analysis and critical control points are a mandatory step for all aseptic production processes and ensures food safety across each and every bottle. Before starting the production, the bottler chooses what are CCPs, and what happens in case those are not respected.
Through Qual-IS™ it will be possible to show the critical control point status including historical production trends in one place. Plus, by scanning each bottle the value of each CCP can be instantly retrieved. Ultimately, Qual-IS™ provides easy access to historical data and customisable trends allowing operators to forecast future parameters more accurately. 

Similarly, Qual-IS™ can also create a calibration map for equipment used across the aseptic production line and check the calibration certificates for each instrument linked to critical control points. Under the dedicated area within the Qual-IS™ app, operators will be able to view the expiration date for each certificate. 

The certificate status is identified with a colour-coded system: green (certificate renewal date is within a set timeframe), amber (requires attention shortly), and red (certificate has expired, requires action).  If the certificate has expired, equipment will will notify users through the Qual-IS™ alert system.

Finally, quality status across the production line is displayed in a real-time dashboard with the ability to visualise trends, set quality key performance indicators and create customisable reports.   

“For customers who wish to enter the aseptic market, Qual-IS™ provides the mechanism to manage their new journey in an easy way. And for customers, who are already expert aseptic beverage producers, Qual-IS™ provides a uniform method to manage multiple production lines by analysing data across different areas in real time – helping to drive meticulously high standards of quality control,” concludes Enrico.

“Dreamland Awaits” A new Indie Arthouse Horror is coming from Hungary with an international cast shot in English language

 "Dreamland Awaits" is a new indie arthouse horror film from Hungary. Produced by Full Screen Films,

Budapest Hungary., June 14, 2024 - "Dreamland Awaits" is a new indie arthouse horror film from Hungary. Produced by Full Screen Films, this micro-budget movie was created by award-winning indie filmmakers Demeter Lorant (director, writer, editor) and Gábor Sz. Nagy (producer).

Filmed in just 10 days by a dedicated three-man crew in the Hungarian countryside, the story unfolds in a creepy house where the protagonist must stay for several days, completing tasks for a stranger who has kidnapped his family. The film combines elements of "The Babadook" and "Jacob’s Ladder," with a hint of Lovecraftian horror. The movie was shot at the end of April and is in post-production, the planned release is the fall of 2024.

Logline: In the house of nightmares, every instruction is a step closer to saving his family... or losing himself.

The movie features Nicolas Hackenberg, a French actor residing in Hungary, in his first leading role. Previously, he has appeared in "Fauda," "FBI International," and various other TV series and films. Working with him was a unique experience, as he carries the film with more than two-thirds of the scenes focusing solely on him. This made for a challenging shoot, with minimal downtime as he was constantly on camera and in character. He delivered an outstanding performance as Josh, the cop whose family has been kidnapped.

Rebecka Johnston (“Midsommar”, “The Strangers - Chapter 1.”) plays the owner of the house where the majority of the movie is set, she is a very talented Swedish actress living in Budapest, Hungary.

Short synopsis: Josh, a seasoned but troubled detective, has spent 20 years confronting life's darkest corners, shaping him into a hardened man. Now, he faces his greatest challenge: his wife and two daughters have been kidnapped by a mysterious figure. To save them, Josh must follow the stranger's commands, move into an empty house, remain unnoticed, and complete a series of tasks.

The house, a gateway to a dark dimension, begins to consume the reality around Josh, driving him toward insanity. As he navigates this perilous journey, he confronts a terror even more frightening—his own dark side.

Brian Crombie Serves Notice of Libel, Legal Claim against CBC, Organizers of Three Mississauga Mayoral Election Debates

 Candidate Crombie uses Ontario's new "False Light" Tort, seeks triple damages and double legal costs under Statute of Monopolies for exclusion from debates.

MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO, CANADA., June 7, 2024 -   Mississauga's June 10, 2024 Mayoral By-election candidate Brian Crombie has served a Notice of Libel and Legal Claim against the organizers, sponsors and several of their officers and directors of three Mayoral debates including the CBC, More Homes Mississauga, newsBeyond Inc, polling company Mainstreet Research, and the University of Toronto Mississauga ("UTM") for also violating Ontario's University Free Speech Policy.

The three debates that excluded Brian Crombie were:

More Homes Mississauga debate between Dipika Damerla and Alvin Tedjo on May 13 at the UTM.

newsBeyond Inc, Mainstreet Research, Aurora Strategy Global and the University of Toronto Mississauga’s Student Union mayoral candidates debate with Dipika Damerla, Stephen Dasko and Alvin Tedjo on May 27th at the UTM Student Centre.

CBC Toronto mayoral candidates debate with Dipika Damerla, Stephen Dasko and Alvin Tedjo on May 30th at the Mississauga Living Arts Centre and streamed online.

All three of these Debates excluded Brian Crombie and violated his Canadian Charter of Rights and Ashby v. White common law rights, placing him in a "false light" by doing so, which is now recognized in Ontario as a fourth form of Libel.

As a result he suffered substantial damages including monetary damages for which he served notice he will file a STATEMENT OF CLAIM and seek "Double Legal Costs" on a "Full Indemnity basis" and "Triple Damages" in accordance with the Ontario Statute of Monopolies.

Legal Grounds and Claims:

1. Violation of Charter Rights and Common Law Precedents:

o Brian Crombie's exclusion from the debates is a violation of his rights under Section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, particularly his freedoms of expression, peaceful assembly and association.

o Ashby v. White established the principle that individuals should not be prevented from exercising their legal voting or political rights. In this case, the court held that the defendant's actions, which prevented the plaintiff from voting, constituted a violation of his legal rights. Similarly, Brian Crombie's exclusion from the debates may be seen as an attempt to hinder his participation in the electoral process, thus invoking the principles established in Ashby v. White, which guarantees a complainant a remedy at law.

2. Relevant Ontario Laws and Statutes:

o False light libel occurs when someone is portrayed in a misleading or false manner that is highly offensive to a reasonable person. By excluding Brian Crombie from the debates, the organizers and moderators may have misrepresented him to the public, placing him in a false light. This misrepresentation has harmed his reputation and subjected him to public ridicule or contempt, thereby constituting false light libel under Ontario law.

o The Statute of Monopolies, An Act concerning Monopolies, and Dispensation with penal laws, etc., R.S.O. 1897, c. 323, prohibits anti-competitive behavior and unfair practices that may restrict competition in the marketplace. Brian Crombie's exclusion from the debates was also an attempt to stifle competition in the electoral arena by limiting voters' exposure to alternative candidates and viewpoints.

As a result of the debate organizers and sponsors actions these debates were partisan and an underhanded political contribution in an effort to circumvent prohibitions on non-individual corporate contributions of goods and services to the candidates that were allowed to participate.

Brian Crombie’s exclusion is completely inappropriate, especially when polls showed him within a week of registering on April 25, 2024 (a day prior to the close of nominations) at 6% and then two weeks later at 9%, exhibiting the attention and momentum of his campaign.

Mr. Crombie has an extensive record of policy statements on his website, on social media, on his daily radio show on Mississauga's Sauga 960 AM and on YouTube. It is astounding that CBC appears not to have reviewed his website, watched his video or listened to his podcasts or radio show.

The restriction of participation to only elected Councillors by these debate organizers and sponsors shows a complete lack of understanding of Canadian’s distrust with career politicians and gatekeepers. It is no wonder voter turnout in the 2022 Mississauga municipal election had sunk to 21.8%.

A similar violation of US campaign laws has been alleged by Independent Presidential Candidate Robert Kennedy for his exclusion from their current election debates. However in Ontario, similarly aggrieved individuals are not limited to using election or broadcasting laws to seek a remedy, they have an many other legal procedures and potential remedies available, including those noted herein.
