What Could Happen If You Fail To Preserve And Collect ESI?

Personal Injury Attorneys - Ehline Law Firm PC
The Griffin logo of Ehline injury attorneys

As you search online, you would find more and more experts recommending you to go to the best possible lawyers and attorneys to fight your cases and for your rights. Choosing inexperienced counsel and unknown law firms is always prohibited because doing so has its potential dangers that could be extremely unpleasing.

You could always learn a lesson from others because this is an easy way of learning rather than going the hard way. A similar instance took place just last year when a plaintiff wasn’t able to preserve the information that was to be presented in the court.

What Happened?

A plaintiff went into the court to get help on his case but was caught off-guard when he wasn’t able to present and preserve the information as required by the court. The magistrate took immediate action in this scenario, and the plaintiff had to face the music.

The case was Procaps S.A. v. Patheon Inc., and the proceedings took place on February 28, 2014. The steps taken by the magistrate were somewhat intrusive but had to be followed by the plaintiff and his lawyer because they screwed up.

The court the plaintiff to go for an e-discovery vendor so the data sources of the plaintiff could be forensically analyzed thoroughly by a third party this time. In the order, the court included the names of the custodians whose information was to be examined and there was another set of instructions to be followed after that. These instructions were strictly given to the lawyer of the plaintiff.

Here are the instructions and orders of the court granted to the counsel of the plaintiff as a way to rectify the deficiencies in preserving the ESI (electronically stored information):

  • The lawyer had to visit the named custodians one by one and interview them properly.
  • The data sources that were to be analyzed were supposed to be handed over to the lawyer of the opposing party.
  • The opposing attorney will provide a list of search terms to the plaintiff’s lawyer – to which he has to agree as well – and these search terms will be recorded and run by the vendor.
  • The plaintiff’s lawyer also has to work with the vendor to provide him with all sources of data that is in relevance with the case. The data required includes all ESI.
  • The vendor, i.e., the third party was also instructed meeting and interviewing the IT head of the plaintiff and record every piece of information provided by the IT head.
  • All data provided in hard copy format had to be scanned.
  • Images had to be taken to the data too.
  • Deleted files had to be recovered by the vendor too.
  • The plaintiff had to pay for the work done by the supplier on the case.
  • Counsel and plaintiff were ordered to distribute the attorney’s fee in half parts. The awarded fee was $24,115.

With these instructions, we can see that the plaintiff was in trouble. Why did the court take such an action?

Why Were These Actions Taken?

In simple words, the court took these actions because the plaintiff and his lawyer were not able to collect the required ESI and preserve it as ordered by the tribunal. Further particulars are as under:

  • The attorney of the plaintiff had not performed his assigned duty of going to Colombia and meeting with the IT professionals of the plaintiff to collect, analyze and record information about ESI.
  • No consultant was hired to give legal mentoring on what ESI should get collected or how.
  • The lawyer had also utterly failed in instructing the client and thoroughly managing the search for the required ESI.

The result of not passing proper information about searching the ESI forced the plaintiff to perform a quick search of information then. Without a consultant or lawyer supervising these searches and having litigation hold on these searches, the searches were conducted by the workers and executives working at the plaintiff’s company.

What Should Have Been Done?

This situation was an e-discovery case where electronically stored information had to be searched, analyzed and presented to the court. This research can only be done correctly when the lawyer guides his client on every aspect of the searching. The client can’t search randomly in documents and files stored on the computer. There are certain items, search terms, data, etc. that need to be explored.

The list is managed by a consultant who takes care of the ESI retrieval and guides the plaintiff on what items which to search. The lawyer has to meet every person relevant to the case and ordered by the court.

The lawyer must have also informed his client about the potential dangers that they were open to if the information was not collected and preserved. When a party fails to maintain the required ESI the court intervenes and takes control of the searching process. It significantly and negatively affects the position of the plaintiff in the case too.

What Lesson Was Learned?

The most important thing learned here is that you should only trust in the most experienced and well-reputed law firms when dealing with your cases. It doesn’t matter how small or large the claim. If you are not able to present the critical information required by the court, you are going to face the consequences. So you want to have only the most professional, well-trained and experienced lawyers on your side. If so, Ehline Law Firm is the place for you.

About Elmhurst Art Museum was a dream conceived and realized by a visionary, generous and tenacious group of artists, art lovers and community members. Founder Eleanor King Hookham (1909-2003), a painter and educator who moved to Elmhurst with her husband Robert E. Hookham in 1946, kept the dream alive for five decades and welcomed visitors at the grand opening of the Elmhurst Art Museum building in 1997.

Elmhurst Art Museum was officially formed in 1981 when it opened in one room at Eldridge School, a property then used as a community center run by the Elmhurst Park District. Exhibiting and collecting works of primarily local artists, the small organization grew to a two-room space at Wagner Community Center. Setting their sights on the construction of a new building in the beautiful and centrally located Wilder Park, the museum created the Elmhurst Fine Arts and Civic Center Foundation to be its fundraising arm. Generous donations, countless volunteer hours, real estate purchases and sales, benefit galas and creative fundraising events, allowed the foundation to secure a footprint within Elmhurst Park District’s Wilder Park and hire architects to design an art museum in the midst of Elmhurst.

In 1992, the Foundation learned of a rare opportunity—Elmhurst’s famous “glass house,” designed by renowned modern architect Mies van der Rohe in 1952 and one of only three existing houses he designed in the United States, became available for purchase. Former Mayor of Elmhurst, Raymond Fick and his wife Mary Ann, lived for nearly thirty years in what is now called the McCormick House, after its original owner Robert Hall McCormick, Jr. and were delighted that this architectural landmark would be preserved and repurposed by the museum. Two years later, the house was moved from its original location at 299 Prospect to Wilder Park, to become part of the Elmhurst Art Museum. The EAM Board selected the Chicago-based architectural firm DeStefano + Partners to design a new building that incorporated the house.

Elmhurst Art Museum opened to the public in 1997 with more than 15,000 square feet of exhibition space, an art collection, an Education Center and Mies van der Rohe’s McCormick House.  A vibrant center for the visual arts for nearly 20 years, EAM serves people of all ages, offering exhibitions, educational programs, studio classes and an architectural landmark.  EAM provides residents of Elmhurst and other surrounding DuPage County suburbs with opportunities to see art, create art and deepen their knowledge of art, architecture and design right in their own backyard. With year-round classes, workshops, summer camps, community events, public programs and rotating exhibitions, EAM is committed to providing arts education and appreciation to children and adults. EAM supports exceptional artists from this region and beyond with exhibition and commission opportunities and develops programming around the McCormick House to explore modernism and its impact on art and society.

All other medication (prescription for uncontrolled medication and over the counter medication) do not need prior approval from MoH.

For more details please visit the Ministry of Health and Prevention website.

I don’t endorse marriage at all! Kangana

Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut. (AFP)

Kangana does not believe in the institution of marriage at the moment. Strange as it may sound, but the actress who was earlier in a tumultuous relationship with Aditya Panscholi followed by a whirlwind romance with Adhyayan Suman, says that she believes in being true about her relationships, but then does not look at it as a commitment.

Sounding clearly commitment phobic after a few experiences, she says: “I have been open about my affairs and myself because I do not like to put on a façade. I do not like to hide things from the people as I feel that truth does prevail. I do not know why people like to cover their love liaisons. I love to be myself because I feel comfortable just being myself.”

Query her about marriage and she takes a step backwards. “I don’t endorse this commitment at all at this juncture in my life. I feel that two people can also enjoy a companionship. But then being together as a companion, we should be true to the relationship we are in. I do not see a reason to get it endorsed by any government document; There is no point in taking charge of anybody’s soul and also possess their surname. I have also seen people have so many issues within a marriage and then so easily walking away from this commitment. I feel I can be sincerely trustworthy while being in a companionship. I feel that that no relationship needs to be legalized. It is maddening to do such things in this age and era. We a have so many other things to do. To build one’s trust we need not tie the nuptial knot. Maybe my state of mind will change latter but presently I have these notions in mind,” philosophises the actress.

Kangana feels that the last thing that she can tolerate from her partner is lack of sincerity in the relationship. “If in a relationship someone cheats me or proves to be insincere I will be the last person to tolerate it. I would definitely like to take my route on to my liking. I am not promoting live in relationships though! Being in a companionship it is necessary to be sincere wherever we are!! A secure relationship does not need any kind of a contract. I can never turn a blind eye to any nonsense… I would prefer walking out of such a relationship,” she says like a queen.

That brings us to her next film Queen. She has written the dialogues of the film as well. “The director Vikas Bahl was kind enough to accommodate me having my own dialogues in the film and give me credit for it as well,” says the actress who now encouraged by her own act is off to the US for a screenwriting course with the New York Film Academy. “Yes, I am leaving for the US soon. I do not rule out being a director as well,” says the actress who feels like a queen now.

“ Yes it is only during some fleeting moments do I feel like a   Queen. Also one cannot feel like a fool all the time. This character I play in the film is also like that. I am called Rani.”

She adds, “I play a simple girl who is not very confident about herself. Unquestionably I play a “Behenji”. The film is like the transformation of the underdog Rani who plays the hero of the film. But in real life I am simple but very confident .Therefore I broke the rules of the society and moved out of my house traveled alone to Mumbai when I decide to make a career for myself. However, during the initial stages of my career I was slightly confused and did know how to go about things. I could not choose on the kind of lifestyle I wanted to pursue? What exactly I was looking forward to? I did make some mistakes but now everything is sorted and now I know what I want! With innumerable good and bad experiences in life I have learnt a lot and obviously I can think with more clarity.”

Coming to politics Kangana is not endorsing the Aam Admi Party in Delhi. “Well! I do not know whether things this party has promised will be fulfilled. Whether things shaping up in the centre will happen in a positive note! But there has come in a vast change in this short period of time. The nation is looking for a positive change in terms of Education, Economic development, Employment etc especially in the rural areas. There is a wave of changes that has come to the fore from through AAP the party is trying to do the unconventional changes…they are claiming to fulfill the needs of the people that they are looking forward too. I believe sincerely that they should be given one chance to be able to do what they have promised the junta.”

Kangana knows not what efforts she might put up by herself while trying to bring in a good change for her country but she assures what best she can do at her own level.” Yeah! Definitely if I get a chance to serve my country and bring about some good changes I will surely put in my sincere efforts. What they will be can be decided while I literally get a chance. But presently at my own personal level I always make it a point to a] Close the running tap. b] Switch off the electricity and fan buttons when not in use. c] Also being educated try to educate my domestic help to not to let the running tap be open etc. d] Lastly, I do not like to unnecessarily waste money on Laundry. I use my “Towel” for almost fifteen days. Also while washing clothes do not want to waste water and soap unnecessarily. Extravagancy is not permitted in my household affairs,” says the girl knowing well, where to cut costs.

We want to tell her that she will make a great housewife too.

• VAT rings in a new era for UAE

      January 1, 2018

    From today, the way the UAE businesses conduct their day-to-day operations and the spending habits of residents will see a major shift as the UAE moves away from tax-free nation by levying a five per cent Value-Added Tax (VAT) on goods and services.

    With VAT imposed on most of goods and services, some have been exempted and zero-rated, the government is projected to collect Dh12 billion in 2018 from the new tax and Dh20 billion a year later as more and more companies come into the tax fray.

    Industry analysts and executives believe that VAT - which is the lowest in the world - will bring transparency and give credibility to UAE corporates. While impact on consumers' spending trends will be very minimal because five per cent VAT will translate into around two per cent in terms of inflation on the consumers as some of it will be absorbed by the companies as well. Analysts believe that this sudden reaction is normal among the residents ahead of the implementation of VAT but people will get used to the new tax regime with the passage of time.

    According to economists, it is estimated that inflation will increase in the range of 1.5 per cent to 2.5 per cent due to VAT as some of it will be absorbed by the corporates in the supply-chain mechanism.

    "Most of the world has implemented VAT. It will bring in confidence into the UAE's system of accounting and transparency. It will improve credibility of the country and more investors are likely to come in," says GR Mehta, managing director, Kaanee American International Tobacco; and former chairman of The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (Dubai Chapter).

    With around 350,000 companies projected to register for the Tax Registration Number, the UAE's Federal Tax Authority has set Dh375,000 as the threshold to register for TRN. Following the registration deadline of December 4, 2017 for registration, the Federal Tax Authority has been issuing provisional TRN to the companies.

    Since five per cent VAT is among the lowest rates in the world, some of the countries have imposed the tax as high as 25 per cent in Denmark, 20 per cent in Morocco and 18 per cent in Tunisia.

    Earlier, the UAE levied 50 per cent excise tax on purchase of carbonated and energy drinks and 100 per cent on tobacco products from October 1, 2017.

    These levies will reduce the government's dependence on petrodollars and diversify its resources to invest in further develop infrastructure such as public parks, hospitals, roads and transport etc.

    Naveen Sharma, chairman, ICAI (Dubai Chapter), believes that VAT will bring in confidence of the outside world into the UAE's system of accounting and transparency.

    "If we are using Dubai roads, public parks and infrastructure, I don't think paying 2 or 2.5 per cent more as inflation is bad as we enjoy the best quality lifestyle that we have now," he said, adding that Dh12 billion is a lot which the government will collect from VAT and pump it into the development of infrastructure. This will double the rate of economic growth that has been seen in the past, Sharma said.

    According to a report by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) and Oxford Economics, the UAE will record an accelerated growth in 2018 to 3.6 per cent from 1.7 per cent in 2017. The momentum will continue with GDP growing at 3.6 per cent in 2019.

    In order to make it easier for the companies to obtain their TRN, the Federal Tax Authority recently announced provisional tax registration numbers to companies and individuals meeting the threshold.

Senate Testimony on State Tax Reform by E.J. McMahon |  | Testimony

This committee has chosen an opportune moment to review New York’s state tax code and consider reform options. Wall Street, the state’s cash cow for 20 years, is now retrenching. And in an era of slower economic growth, many businesses will be less willing to shoulder costs they can avoid by moving elsewhere. Needless to say, by various measures, most states can offer a lower-cost environment than New York. [Read_more]

Testimony: Managing the SSI State Suplement by Russell Sykes |  | Testimony

This testimony discusses one key proposal of the Governor’s Human Service Budget – managing the SSI State Supplement. As part of his SFY 2012-13 Executive Budget, Governor Andrew Cuomo has included a long overdue initiative for the state to take over the administration of New York’s Supplemental Security Income (SSI) state supplemental payment from the federal Social Security Administration. [Read_more]

Testimony: Tier 6 Pension by E.J. McMahon |  | Testimony

As part of his 2012-13 budget legislation, Governor Cuomo has proposed the most significant and potentially far-reaching reform of New York public pensions in at least 36 years. While the governor’s plan is far from being an ideal solution to the problem of exploding pension costs and long-term liabilities, it includes some significant steps in the right direction, which are worthy of serious consideration and support. [Read_more]

Testimony: Property Tax Cap by E.J. McMahon |  | Testimony

New York’s local property tax levels are exceptionally high by national standards and have grown by more than double the inflation rate over the past decade, justifying the governor’s push to limit future growth. [Read_more]

Testimony: Mandate Relief by E.J. McMahon |  | Testimony

I want to begin today by commending the state Senate for its passage last month of Governor Cuomo’s property tax cap bill. In years to come, the Jan. 31 vote may be seen as a turning point, a historic first step towards lasting relief for New York’s taxpayers. [Read_more]

Testimony: FY2011 New York State Budget by E.J. McMahon |  | Testimony

Governor Cuomo’s 2011-12 Executive Budget does not call for any significant state tax increases. The thrust of my testimony today is that the Legislature should not attempt to add tax increases to this budget—and should start actively working on a more competitive and growth-oriented tax policy for the future. [Read_more]

Testimony: State Tax Policy in 2010-11 by E.J. McMahon |  | Testimony

Let me begin by reminding everyone that the 2009-10 state budget included tax and fee increases that were initially valued at $6.1 billion, or 7.4 percent of total state fund revenues. This was the largest tax and fee increase in New York State’s history. [Read_more]

Testimony: Budget Reform by E.J. McMahon |  | Testimony

New York’s 80-year-old Executive Budget law, rooted in Article VII of the state Constitution, has stood the test of time in many respects. But some glaring holes in the law have become more and more evident over the past couple of decades. As a result, the severity of New York State’s latest fiscal crisis has been compounded by a lack of budgetary discipline, transparency and accountability. [Read_more]

Testimony: Government Transparency by Lise Bang-Jensen |  | Testimony

As a former journalist and now as analyst for the Empire Center for Public Policy, I am pleased the Senate is considering a package of bills to expand the Freedom of Information Law and the Open Meeting Law. [Read_more]

Enamor Fabulous Types of Bra You ‘Must-Have’ on Your Wardrobe

“Feeling great on the outside begins from the inside!”

And yes,we are talking about the lingerie that you wear! Nothing says you love yourself quite like a well-fitted, comfortable and trendy bra. For the modern woman who dons multiple hats – homemaker, professional and perennial nurturer – being at ease in your inner wear is not a negotiable option.

Since 2003, Enamor has strived to bring elegance, comfort and distinctiveness to women’s intimate wear. Our range has everything from bras, panties, shapewear to sportswear, nightwear and stylish athleisure, which help you flaunt your own personal style. Whether you’re headed for a casual night out with friends, a hot date or a high-stake meeting that is sure to witness corporate powerplay, being comfortable in your own skin (read: “lingerie”) can help you make a lasting impression.

Types of Bra

As your preferred lingerie brand, we bring you some tips on the ‘must-have’ types of bras that every woman should have ready access to.

1) T-Shirt Bras

Types of Bras T-shirt Bra

A t-shirt is every bit a woman’s casual and chic statement. For a fun day outdoors, a pair of denims with a snug white tee is a look that can never go out of style. If you plan to be out in the open sun for a long time, then you’d have to contend with the nasty humidity. And worse, if you tend to sweat a lot, the lines of your bra start to show and could have you scurrying for cover!

The ultimate solution: Enamor’s T-shirt bras do away with front seams and blend effortlessly with your attire. They seem to disappear under your clothing, which makes it comfortable to wear with fitted casual wear, even on long sunny days. They are quite comfortable with a body-hugging top, and look smart with traditional wear like a kurta or salwar kameez. So, the T-shirt bra is a multi-purpose bra that every woman should keep handy for any occasion.

2) Strapless Bra

Strapless Bras

When attending a formaldinner, a cocktail party or a red-carpet special event, an off-shoulder number a la Catherine Zeta-Jones is a definite must. And a strapless bra is perfect to show off those toned shoulders and present a svelte silhouette to the paparazzi, while leaving your partner mesmerized for the evening. Besides, strapless bras are ideal while wandering around flea markets or street shopping in a quaint part of town. When teamed with tube-tops thrown over capris, they are discreet and complement your zesty side.

3) Push-up Bras

Push Up Bras

Call us vain; but push-up bras do a lot more to proudly flatter your shape by pushing your breasts upwards to show off more prominent cleavage. Push-up bras usually come with padding to give your bra more volume and personality. Fancy a plunge cut or balcony? They are quite the trend this season. If you want to give in to a different side of your personality, they are available in lace and embroidered variants as well. You can be the showstopper in your social circles by teaming them with a button-down dress shirt or V-neck tee. And on that upcoming exotic vacation to Bali, you can walk along sunny beaches while strutting your stuff in these push-up bras that accentuate your curves, and give in to a dollop of naughtiness. Then again, why wait for an exotic holiday? ;)

4) Low Back Bras

Low Back Bra

With fashionistas flaunting a range of traditional Indian wear in bespoke styles and designs, both on and off the ramp, your wardrobe just isn’t complete without a few signature pieces of sarees, cholis and salwars. To complement and enhance your traditional look, the low back or transparent bras are a godsend. Make a splash with bold printed motifs and exquisitely embroidered sarees paired with low-cut blouses. Low back bras are just what you need to be the stand-out of the party and the talk of the town!

5) Multiway Bras

Types of Bra - Multiway Style

Elegance and versatility now has a new name, the Multiway Bra. Need to attend a party after-hours and barely have a few minutes to change? The multiway bra is your companion to keep you rocking into the wee hours, without a single worry of a faux pas. Their beauty and class, as is evident, lies in their fully detachable and adjustable straps that allow them to be styled in a number of ways – cross back, halter neck and strapless – making them your next best friend, after diamonds of course! The cushioned cups are comfy and eliminate any chance of irritation. This versatile bra is a keeper (better than your ex, at least)! Here’s our quick low-down on the 4 options in which you can style Enamor’s multiway bras –criss-cross, both back and front, halter neck and strapless.

● Criss-cross Back - Multiway Bra:

Crisscross Multiway Bra

Ever dreamt of your own Titanic moment aboard an exclusive yacht with your beau? Chances are, you pictured yourself wearing a criss cross back sundress (and bra to go with it) with an oversized pair of glares. With the multiway criss-cross back bra to secure your bust in place, you can lose yourself in the expanse of the azure blue sea, while caressing your hair flowing in the wind as the boat gently cuts through the waves. They are also suitable if you fancy backpacking across hilly terrain, apt in the blistering heat of summer.

● Halter Neck - Multiway Bra:

Halterneck Multiway Bra

Think of Lucy Liu in an all-black halter neck number a la ‘Charlie’s Angels’ in knee-high laced-up boots; or even of the sultry Angelina Jolie in ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith’ with the guns strapped in alongside, just adding to the charm. We surmise she’d have worn a multiway halter neck underneath, for added support. For the woman of substance, a halter neck bra is subtle, practical and helps her throw caution to the wind, both at home and outdoors.

● Criss-Cross Front - Multiway Bra:

Crisscross Front Bra

Almost Spartan in their appeal, the multiway criss-cross front bra lends itself easily to athletic activities such as yoga, sports or at the gym. Elegant yet functional, pair it with leggings or denims for unrivalled comfort. The high-cut criss-cross bras, on the other end, lend a futuristic character to your wardrobe that is sure to make heads turn at the fitness club or yoga centre.

● Strapless - Multiway Bra:

Strapless Bra

The right fit is of prime importance for any strapless bra. You’ll need to make sure that it is firmly fit around your body, since there are no straps for support. Choose one that is not too tight nor too loose, to avoid any discomfort or chances of any awkward nip slips. And that’s something that any woman wearing a strapless multiway bra does not want! Enamor’s strapless bras have padded cups and are underwired for proper grip and added security.

6) Full Support Bras

Full Support Bra

A bra that is durable, doesn’t fray easily or loosen up after a few uses, and provides full cover to reduce spillage, is quite tough to find. Have you ever been stuck in a situation where you wear a bra hoping that it will make you look sleek and sensuous?But,you ended up standing out awkwardlyfrom the crowd, because your bra feels ill fittedwithin a short time? Many of us who are bust-heavy can identify with this situation.But it’s nothing that can’t be changed by choosing the right bra that complements your figure!

The full support bra supports you, in literally every waythat you need! It gives your bust good shape, amazing support and maximum comfort, through all kinds of weather. This bra even helps redistribute your chest weight for a better, more relaxed fit. Already sounds much better than your friends, family and boss combined, right? If you plan to hit the club and need something to fit you seamlessly, without causing any unexpected accidents while you are having a good time, it’s time you discovered the joys of Enamor’s ‘Full and Fabulous’ bra!

7) Detachable Bras:

Detachable Bra

One of the greatest pet peeves most women have, is carrying appropriate bras of various kinds on a holiday, to match with their clothes. Detachable bras are a godsend, and how! Mix and match strap styles to suit a digital printed tank top or that fancy halter neck top. Use the transparent straps if you fancy a little off-shoulder fun, without drawing much attention to your bra straps. Or go all out in experimenting with colours, as you paint your holiday time with vivid colors and happy memories! There are some versatile designs that can be managed in a jiffy, with detachable straps.

The greatest advantage of detachable straps is that they provide comfort, support and form-fitting, without losing out on trendy quirks. They are effortlessly replaceable with every kind of outfit, creating the ultimate holiday style for the modern woman who isn’t shy to experiment, and with the knowledge that comfort and utility always come first. High-quality detachable bras in plastic and lace have the ability to change looks instantly and give you a chance to channel your inner fashionista. Effortlessly change from sexy to cute to sporty as you like, instantly.

In summation, here is a checklist to help you zero in on the perfect bra, to meet your every need:

  • Make sure that the chosen bra size fits you perfectly.
  • Ensure that the strap sits comfortably on your shoulders, once its fastened.
  • Try on a variety of bra styles before you decide.
  • Don’t be shy! Ask us for advice.

How AWS Cloud is demolishing the cult of youth

We live in a society obsessed with youth. Tech is no different from the wider culture. Startup culture in particular thrives on the idea that you’re past it by the time you’re 30. Mark Zuckerburg is 33 years old. Some Facebook employees quietly started call him Uncle Zuck while he was in his still in his late 20s. Brutal.

Younger founders and employees are willing and able to work longer hours, and really grind it out. They have higher stamina, and generally don’t have families they want to spend time with. They can completely commit to the job at hand. Most mathematical breakthroughs are discovered by younger people. It is true that today’s tech leviathans were founded by people in their 20s – Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft. Amazon is a bit of an outlier – Jeff Bezos was 30 years old when he founded the company. He was already a bit more mature.

And what a company he built. Amazon is one of the companies most likely to be worth a trillion dollars in the next few years. This video by Scott Galloway is the best take on the Four Horsemen, those most likely to hit that mark. Amazon is crushing it, Amazon is dismantling retail, Amazon is going to “kill brands”.

So who is hiring to drive the next stages of its growth? A bunch of 22 year olds, right? Not. So. Much. Amazon has a lot of time for seasoned talent, in the executive and technical ranks.

It just announced it is hiring James Gosling, one of the original inventors of Java. He is 62 years old. We don’t know what he’ll be doing at Amazon – he’s just as likely to be designing a fleet of underwater delivery drones as driving programming language innovation. But he is an inspiration, and he’s still coding. He could work on AWS-specific JVM optimisations. But it’s all conjecture for now.

Meanwhile James Hamilton continues to completely kick ass in compute, network, and data center design for AWS. He cut his teeth in database technology. He’s in his 50s.

Tim Bray, one of the inventors of XML, joined Amazon in 2014. He’s another Sun alumni. He’s 61 now. He still codes.

When you sit down with one of the AWS engineering teams you’re sitting down with grownups. At a guess median age would be 40-45, someone like Andi Gutmans, now 41, one of the original creators of PHP, who now runs Search and New NoSQL for the firm.

Adrian Cockcroft joined AWS in October 2016. He graduated in 1982, not 2002. He is VP Cloud Architecture Strategy at AWS, a perfect role for someone that helped drive Netflix’s transition from on prem Java hairball to serious cloud leadership.

Great engineering is not maths – it involves tradeoffs, wisdom and experience. Great engineers are generally great teachers. Fintan recently wrote about the reality of the distinguished engineer.

“A distinguished engineer not only leads; they also take responsibility. A distinguished engineer will not throw any of his or her team under the proverbial bus to protect themselves, nor will the make technical decisions that involve a massive pay back later (technical debt) without explaining why and getting buy in and understanding for the decision.”

His description fits the people AWS is currently hiring quite well. The company puts such a premium on independent groups working fast and making their own decisions it requires a particular skillset, which generally involves a great deal of field experience. A related trend is hiring seasoned marketing talent from the likes of IBM.

Some other older companies have older distinguished engineers because they grew up with the company. AWS is explicitly bringing that experience in. It’s refreshing to the see a different perspective on value.

AWS is a client.

Role :

Designer/ Builder

Key date :

Location :

Allerton, Europe

Description of the Project

VINCI Environment UK was awarded the turnkey contract for the Energy from Waste facility Design and Build, which is part of the Allerton Waste Recovery Park, a multi-treatment site also composed of a mechanical treatment facility and an anaerobic digestion unit. The objective of this new facility is to significantly contribute to the reduction of waste to be landfilled in the territory of North Yorkshire.

Indeed, 55% of the 520 000 tonnes of waste from 760,000 inhabitants of North Yorkshire County and the city of York are buried and not valued. By choosing a multi-treatment, the Community commits to a 90% reduction of the landfilling and optimum recovery from waste. Eventually, the facility at Allerton Park will process each year about 320,000 tonnes of residual solid household waste through mechanical treatment. Once sorted 40,000 tonnes per annum will go through anaerobic digestion to recover energy in the form of biogas, and the remaining 300,000 tonnes will be thermally treated in 2 lines of 20 tonnes per hour to produce 24 MW of electricity. The plant will provide renewable electricity to more than 40,000 homes, equivalent to the needs of a city the size of Harrogate, close to the site.

Site Area : 5.1 hectares / Built Area (GFA) : 13,500 m²
Annual capacity : 320,000 tonnes / year of Municipal Solid Waste, Commercial & Industrial Waste and Refuse of Municipal Solid Waste after treatment or recycling
Energy Production : 220,000 MWh of electricity per year.

Work done and added value of our solution

  • Incinerated waste: Household Waste Recycling Centre residual (HWRC residual)
  • Two treatment lines, each processing 20t/h of waste with a Nominal Calorific Value (NCV) of 9 MJ/kg
  • Roller-grate furnaces, parallel flow low NOx combustion chambers
  • Steam production: pressure : 60 bar / temperature : 415 ° C / steam throughput: 60.5 t /h per line Condensing steam turbine generator. Nominal power : 28 MWe
  • Dry flue gas treatment process : non-catalytic NOx reduction (SNCR with ammonia water), lime and activated carbon injection to capture acid pollutants, dioxins and furans, bag filters filtration with recirculation and humidification of APC residues to capture dusts and residues

Xiaomi Mi 8 Review : Performance

 Add Comment

Xiaomi Mi 8 Performance

The performance section is where we look at the image quality performance of the camera. Additional sample photos and product shots are available in the Equipment Database, where you can add your own review, photos and product ratings.

Xiaomi Mi 8 Sample Photos

Photos taken with the camera show good colour reproduction, and exposure is reliable, with little need to use exposure compensation. Colour reproduction is good from both cameras, with matching colour reproduction whether using the wide-angle or telephoto cameras. (Unfortunately the same can't be said for all smartphones with multiple cameras).

Xiaomi Mi 8 Lens test images

Lens Performance - The main 12mp f/1.8 wide-angle camera gives good results, no signs of vignetting, although when viewing at 100% it's possible to see some softness in the top left corner of photos. Some purple fringing is visible. The camera is also very resistant to flare, with this only every showing in extreme lighting conditions. There's minimal distortion, with the camera automatically correcting this. Optical image stabilisation helps keep images sharp, when shooting using slower shutter speeds.

Like most smartphones with a telephoto camera, if the lighting conditions aren't bright enough, the camera will use the wide-angle lens and 2x digital zoom. Occassionally the telephoto lens failed to focus correctly, and didn't like the idea of focusing on close objects, switching instead to digital zoom at times. However, when lighting conditions where good, results were also good. Distortion is minimal.

AI is available - but the effect is subtle most of the time, which means any changes aren't going to be offensive or in your face. In fact, we were quite pleased with the colour reproduction from the camera, with images having pop straight from the camera, although on occassion they were overly saturated.

Sometimes the Auto HDR will give images an artificial look, so you can get better results by switching this off at times.

There are options for image quality (high, standard, and low), as well as options to choose between 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio. Although strangely there isn't an option to choose the resolution.

All of the "selfies" came out at the full 20mp resolution. You can use the portrait mode with the rear camera, as well as the front selfie camera, and this does a pretty good job of blurring the background.

Xiaomi Mi 8 ISO test images

ISO Noise Performance - Noise is well controlled, with low levels of noise, right up to ISO800. Detail is best at ISO100 and ISO200, with detail gradually decreasing as the ISO speed increases. Noise becomes much more noticeable at ISO1600, and ISO3200 is best avoided.

Xiaomi Mi 8 White-balance test images

White Balance Performance - Auto White Balance performs well under tungsten lighting, under mixed lighting, and under fluorescent lighting, which means that you'll rarely need to use the white balance presets.

Xiaomi Mi 8 Digital filters

Digital Filters - There are a number of effects available as well as tilt-shift (with additional options), and straighten.

Panoramic Liverpool
Panoramic Liverpool

Panorama mode - The panoramic mode gives a very high resolution image, around 49mp, and the image is quite well stitched together.

Video - The camera can record 4K video, at 30fps, with image stabilisation available, helping keep video stable. You can use the LED as a video light while recording video. You can't manually select the telephoto camera for video recording, and instead any zoom you use is simply digital zoom. The are high-speed video options where you can record at up to 960fps.

Mobile Friendly and General UI Update for Erowid
This page is here to help people understand the needs Erowid has to improve the web UI and improve functionality on small mobile devices.

As of July, 2018, we are seeking targeted help from those experienced doing high level design with ability to implement major parts of it as HTML/CSS and those skilled with jQueryUI.

We also need WordPress designers and customizers to help us with the Crew Blog: https://erowid.org/blog.

A couple of Frequent Suggestions

  1. You should put Erowid into a wiki! No, see "complex data ontology" below.
  2. You should put Erowid into Wordpress! No, see "complete data ontology" below.

Complex Data Ontology

You might not understand how complex and varied the data is on the site. As an incomplete list, we have ten thousand reference PDFs and associated metadata, 112,000 experience reports and complex metadata, 5000 Stolaroff Archive files and associated meta data, thousands of analytical testing results, several archived web forums, timelines, tens of thousands of images, tens of thousands of flat files, etc. If you aren't familiar with SQL or 'relational table database' structures or the needs these fill, then you will not understand the reasons for why the complex data ontology (ontologies) Erowid spans cannot be 'converted' to a wiki or other single format text field data type.

Chris D'Elia on Justin Bieber, Kanye & the Year in Music

"Hip-hop is the main thing I listen to," Chris D'Elia immediately explains of his musical predilections. "But if I'm trying to get girls to have sex with me I put on Portishead." This sounds about right for the comedian, who has a new stand-up special, White Male. Black Comic., premiering on Comedy Central Friday night. D'Elia has earned a lot of new fans this year using Vine and Instagram, with which he recreates popular songs in an operatic voice. His most famous stand-up bit is about Drake, and he clearly has some strong opinions, so it seemed only fitting that we ask D'Elia his thoughts on some of the biggest releases and events in music in 2013. The comedian, who cites Pusha T's My Name Is My Name as the best album of the year, sounded off on everything from Justin Bieber to twerking to Lorde. Best of all, he has a solid explanation for the questionable prevalence of drop-crotch pants.

Kanye West's "Bound 2" Video

"Here's the thing: The worst video is also the best video I've ever seen. If he knows what he's doing and he's seriously not crazy then it's terrible. If he's crazy, it's my favorite video I've ever seen in my life. If a doctor would diagnose him and be like, 'He needs to be under some medicine and some care,' then it skyrockets to my favorite video of all time. To think of him being insane and then seeing that video and him being like, 'Yep that's what I wanted!' is my favorite thought."

Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke's VMA Performance

"My thoughts were strictly with Billy Ray Cyrus. I want to know how he felt about that. I don't have a daughter or any kids, but if I did and I saw that, I'd have to really, really convince myself that that was the artist's move and not my daughter. That being said, I think Miley Cyrus is so awesome. I think the way she reinvented herself is next-level. Also she's so hot. Wait, how old is she? Is that creepy? I wanted to recreate the 'Wrecking Ball' video, but I didn't have a wrecking ball. Also my penis would be dragging on the ground. Print that."

Lil Wayne Almost Dying

"I love Lil Wayne's music and I don't want anything bad to happen to him. But that being said, it has been a long time since a rapper died so — you gotta figure it's gonna be soon! Rappers should be on high alert right now. They should be eating kale because if they're not, they might be next."

Lorde's "Royals"

"Isn't she like 12? That's amazing. She sounds like a grown woman. I'm into that style of song. But I gotta say I'm already hearing it too much so I'm going to hate it soon."

Jay Z's "Picasso Baby" Film

"I felt like his album was just more of the same stuff that he's been doing already. I watched that performance art video of his where people were standing in a room pretending that it wasn't just a concert and it was art. Why did they do that? If I was there I would have been out in the first minute. I would have been like, 'Get Jay Z out of here and put some paintings up.' That's not my dream. My dream doesn't have anything to do with Jay Z, although it does have something to do with that room and Miley Cyrus and painting."

Justin Bieber's Antics

"Here's the deal: He comes to my shows so there's no way I'm saying anything bad about Justin Bieber. I consider myself, in all seriousness, in the Bieber crew. I know how ridiculous this will look in print but I want you to say, 'Chris D'Elia: I'm in the Bieber crew.' I think Bieber is cool, man. If I had a crew behind me that was there to make sure I didn't get punched I'd be punching everybody. I would have walked right up to my AD on Whitney and punched him in the face. And then I would have driven away in my silver Tesla or whatever the fk he has."

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis's "Thrift Shop"

"That song is tailored for white girls 10 to 19. Once you're 19 you won't like it anymore. Also, he doesn't shop at a thrift shop. He's rich. That would be like me making a song about being an ultimate fighter."'s Solo Album

"I just cannot listen to because he wears too many things. He looks like a satellite. Also, hey, your name is just William."

Daft Punk's "Get Lucky"

"Most overplayed song of the year. That song is just everywhere. And I have nothing more to say about that."

3-D Music Films

"Are those all in 3-D? Okay, if you're watching a concert movie in 3-D, just go see the concert. How from the future are you? Just go to the concert, you cheapskate! I'm sure likes them because he's already wearing the glasses."

Ke$ha Drinking Her Own Urine

"Did that really happen? Don't drink your own pee and that's so obvious. And don't drink your pee especially if there are cameras around. And even more than that, especially don't be Ke$ha."

"I hate it. It's so dumb. It's one of those things that when it started it was already done. First of all, that's not new. People have been doing that for years and years and years, and just because they picked the name it's popular? If someone thinks twerking is funny or fun, they are not funny or fun. Period."

"Anything that brings large groups of people together not looking at me — I don't like it."

Music Festivals

"I don't play those. That's like saying, 'Here's this much money to bomb.' I'm not going on after a guy wailing on a guitar or after a DJ spinning. No one wants to fk anyone more than a DJ, and I'm not following somebody more fkable than me. The best festival this year was the festival of sleeping in my own bed."

Taylor Swift

"Even though it's pop, it's just too country for me. I don't ever listen to stuff like that. But knowing nothing about her, I'd date her. I would date anybody that I know nothing about. I would have the coolest, most awesome relationship with her so she would make the weirdest song. And I would make her call it 'Chris D'Elia Love Song.'"

Drop-Crotch Pants

"I actually bought one of those pairs of pants. You're not gonna get me to speak badly of them. I feel like the drop-crotch pants and anything Lil Wayne wears is the coolest thing in music fashion this year. I think guys have a thing where it's like, 'You don't even know where my dick is in these pants.'"

Stansted Airport has revealed the odd items you can and cannot bring through security at the airport.

You of course still have to ditch the drink, but according to Stansted Airport there are some foods you can bring through the security line.

As long as you follow some simple rules.

A spokesman for Stansted Airport said: "The usual rule is that if an item is considered a paste, in a sauce or contains liquid, the usual security rules apply – they need to be in containers of less than 100ml.

Stansted Airport
You can take food through Stansted security lines

"Solid food however are permitted in your hand luggage."

That means that you can't take things like peanut butter, Marmite, yoghurts, jams, or even fish in oils through security unless they are under 100ml and in a clear container inside a clear bag.

The ban on pastes would even hit the stereotypical Essex pie and mash, not because of the liquor (although that also would be banned), but because mash counts as a paste.

The spokesman added: "Solid foods such as cakes (including wedding cakes), biscuits, crisps, fruit, breads are permitted to be taken through security within hand luggage but will need to be within bag for the x-ray checks.

You can take wedding cakes through the security screening at Stansted

"You could have a burger and chips, but it would have to be in your bag for security. So if you’ve just purchased it and not eaten it, your bag won't smell too pleasant later on."

Even if you have got yourself a burger before heading through, it might be best to only pack things you don't mind smelling like lunch in your hand luggage.

Or, as Stansted advise, only pack food items in your checked bags to avoid confusion or disappointment.

Infrastructure investment is perched on the edge of history, and we’re in the thick of it. Between 2009 and 2015, trillions will be spent around the world building up bridges, roads, water systems and much more. By investing in infrastructure exchange traded funds (ETFs), you can be positioned to benefit directly.

Governments around the world have pledged to spend trillions of dollars over the next few years on the biggest global build-out of physical economic assets in the history of man. Eric J. Gerritsen for The Journal of Commerce reports that this boom is already in place and it will transform the way the world appears.

  • Some of the changes expected to occur include how the world looks, gets educated, moves goods and services, creates wealth, treats the sick, cares for the poor, powers its homes and businesses and wages war. [Building Blocks of Infrastructure ETFs.]
  • The Obama administration will spend $150 billion of its $787 billion stimulus plan on infrastructure and is expected to add to that.
  • Many other countries are also going to invest in this sector: China has pledged $585 billion and stands ready to do more; India is expected to spend $500 billion on infrastructure from now until 2015; the European Union, $252 billion; Japan, $129 billion; Canada, $12 billion; Australia, $4.7 billion, Singapore, $13.8 billion; Germany, $42 billion. [4 ETFs for India’s Growing Economy.]
  • CIBC World Markets estimates total infrastructure spending over the next 20 years at $35 trillion. Some $3 trillion of fiscal adrenalin will be injected into the global economy in the next 24 months alone. [Brazil’s Infrastructure ETF.]

A growing number of infrastructure ETFs have launched in recent months, giving investors more flexibility in how they access this growth. PowerShares, iShares and Emerging Global Advisors all have funds aimed specifically at growth in emerging markets. State Street and iShares also have broader funds that target both developed and developing countries. Many of these ETFs have heavy weightings in utility companies, so if you’ve already got utilities exposure, check twice to be sure you’re not doubling up.

For more stories about infrastructure, visit our infrastructure category.

  • SPDR FTSE/Macquarie Global Infra 100 (NYSEArca: GII): This ETF has the heaviest U.S. weighting in an infrastructure fund at close to 40%; also holds Germany, Japan, France, United Kingdom, Spain and more.
  • PowerShares Emerging Markets Infrastructure (NYSEArca: PXR): Gives exposure to China, Brazil, South Africa, United States, Taiwan and more.
  • iShares S&P Global Infrastructure Index (NYSEArca: IGF): Gives exposure to the United States, German, France, Australia, Canada, Italy and more.
  • iShares S&P Emerging Markets Infrastructure (NASDAQ: EMIF): Contains exposure to China, Brazil, South Korea, Czech Republic, Mexico, Russia and Chile.
  • Emerging Global Shares INDXX China (NYSEArca: CHXX): Contains exposure to real estate management and development, metals and mining, electrical equipment, power producers, telecom, transportation and more.
  • Emerging Global Shares INDXX Brazil (NYSEArca: BRXX): Contains exposure to metals and mining, power producers, transportation infrastructure, electric utilities, telecom and more.
  • UBS E-TRACS Alerian MLP Infrastructure ETN (NYSEArca: MLPI): This brand-new fund launched on March 31; the fund’s constituents earn at least 50% of their earnings from assets that aren’t directly exposed to commodity price changes. ETNs are debt instruments backed by the full faith and credit of the issuer. [Differences Between ETFs and ETNs.]

Naturewatch Foundation launched a boycott call against Method in April 2018, over the company's links to companies that test products on animals. In December 2017, Method and its sister company Ecover were purchased by SC Johnson, a US company that openly admits to testing on animals and owns other non Naturewatch-endorsed household cleaning brands such as Duck, Shout, Glade, Pledge and Windex.

Caroline Ruane, Naturewatch Foundation CEO, said:

It's hugely disappointing to compassionate shoppers when favourite brands compromise their cruelty free credentials by selling out to multinationals that continue to benefit from animal testing. We sincerely hope that Ecover and Method will stand up for animals by using their new position of influence to convince SC Johnson that the way ahead is cruelty free.

Until then, Naturewatch is asking compassionate consumers to boycott all SC Johnson brands, including Ecover and Method, until the entire company is cruelty-free. Supporters can take action, and contact the company here.

First QatarAirways Doha to Canberra flight has two prominent passengers onboard

The first Qatar Airways flight from Doha to Canberra, the capital city of Australia, touched down today at Canberra Airport, where it was welcomed with a celebratory water cannon salute. Qatar Airways flight QR906 departed Hamad International Airport (HIA) on Sunday 11 February at 07:55, and arrived at Canberra Airport at 08:35 on Monday morning.

On board, the inaugural Qatar Airways flight to Canberra, Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, was joined by the Australian Ambassador to the State of Qatar, His Excellency Mr. Axel Wabenhorst. The VIP delegation was greeted upon arrival by Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment, Hon Steven Ciobo; the Ambassador of the State of Qatar to Australia, His Excellency Nasser bin Hamad Al-Khalifa; Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Chief Minister Mr. Andrew Barr MLA; Canberra Airport Chairman, Mr. Terry Snow; and Managing Director of Canberra Airport, Mr. Stephen Byron.

eTN Chatroom: Discuss with readers from around the world:

H.E. Mr. Al Baker said: “Qatar Airways is delighted to be expanding its reach in Australia by launching our fifth gateway into this beautiful country. In 2016, we launched flights to Sydney and Adelaide, clearly demonstrating our commitment to the people of Australia. We are extremely happy to be offering our loyal Australian passengers the chance to explore the newest and most exciting destinations we have added to our global network in the past year, including many European cities such as Dublin, Kyiv, Prague and St. Petersburg. We are also confident that Australian travellers will be as excited as we are about our many upcoming new destinations set to launch this year, including Cardiff, United Kingdom; Malaga, Spain and Mykonos, Greece.”

ACT Chief Minister, Mr. Andrew Barr, who welcomed the arrival of the second international airline to service the capital, said: “It is wonderful that Qatar Airways has made the decision to come to Canberra in 2018 – a year in which our city was recognised as the third best city in the world to visit by Lonely Planet.”

Canberra Airport Managing Director, Mr. Stephen Byron, said: “We are delighted to welcome Qatar Airways to Canberra Airport, the second international airline to come to Canberra. For the first time, Canberrans and around one million people living in our wider region will now have daily access to Qatar Airways’ global network of more than 150 destinations, via a short stopover in Sydney.”

On the day of the official arrival in Canberra, H.E. Mr. Al Baker attended official meetings with Australia’s Minister of Trade, Tourism and Investment, Hon. Mr. Steven Ciobo, at Parliament House. During the meetings the new flight to Canberra as well as the airline’s ongoing commitment to growth in Australia were discussed.

Qatar Airways will operate its daily Canberra service with a Boeing B777 aircraft, which features 42 flatbed seats in Business Class and 316 seats in Economy Class. Passengers will be able to enjoy the airline’s superior entertainment system offering a wide variety of entertainment options.

The inaugural flight was operated by a Boeing B777 fitted with the airline’s revolutionary Qsuite. Qsuite includes an abundance of Business Class extravagance, including the industry’s first fully lie-flat double bed in Business Class, a revolutionary quad design offering passengers a private and fully adaptable space – the first and only of its kind – in addition to movable TV monitors and privacy dividers, which transform the space into an area perfect for socialising.

With the airline launching a new daily service to Canberra, its fifth destination in Australia, the total cargo capacity out of the Australian continent has increased to more than 630 tonnes per week. Qatar Airways Cargo offers exporters in Australia its innovative QR Fresh solution for the air freight of Australian meat and other perishable products throughout the world via its state-of-the-art hub in Doha. Its Quick Ramp Transfer (QRT) offers the fastest shipment transfer at Hamad International Airport and the use of reefer vehicles at its hub ensures seamless temperature control for perishable products.

Qatar Airways added many new exciting destinations to its network in 2017, including Auckland, New Zealand; Dublin, Republic of Ireland; Nice, France; Prague, Czech Republic, with direct service to Cardiff, United Kingdom, Mykonos, Greece and Malaga, Spain set to launch this year.

The national carrier of the State of Qatar is one of the fastest-growing airlines operating one of the youngest fleets in the world, with a modern fleet of more than 200 aircraft flying to business and leisure destinations across six continents.

The award-winning airline has received a number of recent accolades, including ‘Airline of the Year’ by the prestigious 2017 Skytrax World Airline Awards, held at the Paris Air Show. This is the fourth time that Qatar Airways has been given this global recognition as the world’s best airline. In addition to being voted Best Airline by travellers from around the world, Qatar’s national carrier also won a raft of other major awards at the ceremony, including ‘Best Airline in the Middle East,’ ‘World’s Best Business Class’ and ‘World’s Best First Class Airline Lounge.’

Surveillance and outbreak reports Open Access
Like 0

We describe trends of Salmonella enterica serovars isolated from humans in Italy from January 1980 to December 2011. A total of 229,279 Salmonella isolates were reported during this period. Serovars Enteritidis, Typhimurium, Infantis, Derby, 4,[5],12,:i:-, and Napoli accounted for 135,783 (59%) of these isolates. Temporal trends from 2000 to 2011 varied by serovar: Enteritidis and Infantis decreased significantly (with a mean of -3.0% and -2.8% isolates per year, respectively, p<0.001); Typhimurium remained stable; while 4,[5],12:i:-, Derby and Napoli increased significantly (+66.4%, p<0.001; +8.1%, p<0.001; and +28.2%, p<0.05, respectively). Since 2000, Enteritidis fell consistently below Typhimurium, which is the most reported serovar in Italy in contrast to the international situation where Enteritidis still ranks at the top despite its significant decrease. Most serovars showed a marked seasonality, increasing over the summer months and peaking in August/September. Typhimurium, 4,[5],12:i:-, and Napoli were most likely to be isolated from children, whereas Enteritidis, Derby, and Infantis from adults. We conclude that the applied control measures are not equally efficient against the considered Salmonella serovars and that sources of infection other than those of Enteritidis (laying hens and eggs) have become increasingly important. Further investigations on the emerging serovars and on the causes related to their emergence are needed to define and implement newly tailored control measures.

Difficulties in waste plastic exports to Vietnam and Malaysia create turmoil

Plastic bales (representative image, Source: bvse)
07.06.2018 −

The waste plastics business in Germany remains difficult to anticipate. Prices for good-quality film scrap increased again on average in May because the dollar gained strength against the euro and supply is still tight. However, new challenges surrounding plastic scrap exports to Vietnam and Malaysia were creating major turmoil.

A few ports in Vietnam have announced that they will not accept plastic scrap for the next few months; customs authorities had uncovered a large number of infringements. Malaysia's new government also intends to stop issuing import permits for plastic scrap. There were some short-lived dramatic price cuts for good-quality big bags as it was unclear whether further sales on the export market would be possible.

The full report on the waste plastics market in Germany including the price table appears in issue 12/2018 of EUWID Recycling and Waste Management on 13 June 2018. Online subscribers can already already access it here:

Back pain: Do this simple trick with a pillow to relieve back pain while sleeping

BACK PAIN can be a debilitating condition to live with, getting in the way of daily activities during the day and making for an uncomfortable night’s sleep. If back pain is preventing you from sleeping well, a simple trick with a pillow can help you to sleep better.

Most people will experience some form of back pain at some stage in their lives. It’s usually not serious and will get better within a few days, weeks or months, depending on the cause. While back pain can be a one-off for some people, resulting from a strain or minor injury, for others it can be long-term or a regular occurrence. Although not usually serious, back pain can be extremely debilitating, making it difficult to complete everyday tasks. At night, back pain can make it hard to get comfortable, resulting in difficulty falling asleep or being able to sleep all night through without waking up. Poor posture while sleeping can also make back pain worse.

Imagine how your neck sits vertically in line with the rest of the spine when you are sitting and standing; when you are laying on your side, you want to maintain that

If you suffer from back pain and have trouble sleeping or find the condition is worse when you wake in the morning, there is one simple trick you can do to improve symptoms.

According to Bupa, placing a pillow underneath you while sleeping can help you to cope with back pain in bed. Where you place the pillow depends on what position you sleep in.

If you usually sleep on your back, place the pillow under your knees, which will help your spine to maintain its natural curve.

If you sleep on your stomach, placing the pillow under your pelvis and lower abdomen will reduce strain on your back.

If you sleep on your side, tuck the pillow between your knees to keep your hips, pelvis and spine in better alignment.

Sleeping on your stomach is generally regarded as the worst position for people with back pain, as it doesn’t provide any support for the spine and can add stress to the neck.

But if you are stomach sleeper and find it uncomfortable sleeping on your back or side, placing a pillow under your pelvis and lower abdomen may be more beneficial than forcing yourself into another position.

If you can avoid sleeping on your stomach, it’s better to sleep on your back or side as this will support the curvature of your spine.

Bed expert and retailer Dreams recommends sleeping on your right hand side, with your knees bent up slightly.

This is because laying on the right hand side is good for blood flow, as in this position the smaller and lighter left lung will rest on the heart, according to Dreams.

Sleeping on your side or back put less strain on the back (Image: Getty Images)

The bed expert advises ensuring the gap in between your shoulder, neck and head is filled with pillow, so the spine and neck remain in good alignment.

“Imagine how your neck sits vertically in line with the rest of the spine when you are sitting and standing; when you are laying on your side, you want to maintain that,” said Dreams.

The bed retailer also highlights the importance of having a mattress that provides the correct support for your spine.

A mattress that is too hard can put too much pressure on the areas where you feel discomfort, whereas a mattress that is too soft will not provide support for the areas that need it.

Therefore, people who suffer from lower back pain generally benefit more from a mattress “erring on the firmer side of neutral,” said Dreams.

This is because of the shape of the spine and the fact the lower back is often in need of more support.
