Markham Milk Bag Program

Markham Milk Bag Program

Markham’s Milk Bag Program is a story about how people came together from across the community to create something beautiful from common milk bags. The 4-litre milk bags are colourful, strong, and can be transformed into a variety of products. There are a number of local community groups working hard to collect, weave, and send completed mats to areas of need.

To support these efforts, Markham collects clean milk bags at two recycling depots Thornhill and Markham Village. Markham also incorporates milk bag activities into summer camp programs, and assists with training for community groups, schools etc. who want to get involved.

Did you know?

  • Plastic bags, especially milk bags can last for over 1,000 years in the environment
  • They are unique to Eastern Canada
  • Since the start of the program in 2011, Markham community members have helped to divert over 2 million milk bags from the landfill!

Milk Bags and the Greenprint

The Milk Bag Program aligns with the Greenprint – Community Sustainability Plan in several ways:

  • Reducing Waste – Keeping milk bags out of our landfills brings us closer to Markham’s goal of zero waste
  • Protecting the Environment – Reusing milk bags keeps them out of the environment where they can harm wildlife and disrupt the ecosystem
  • Caring for Each Other – The finished mats are donated to help people in need, locally and worldwide. This is how we build caring and vibrant communities!

Did you know that in October 2015, Markham won the Platinum Award from the Recycling Council of Ontario (RCO) in the category of Special Municipal Programs!

Bill Cosby retrial set to go to jury today

Bill Cosby's sexual assault retrial is slated to go to a Pennsylvania jury on today.

Jurors will be asked to weigh the prosecution's portrayal of the comedian as a sexual predator against the defense's contention that his accuser fabricated drugging and molestation allegations to score a big payday.

The defense rested on Monday after the 80-year-old comedian declined to testify, echoing his decision at his first trial, which ended in a hung jury last year.

"You now have all of the evidence," Judge Steven O'Neill told the 12 primary and six alternate jurors, according to ABC News. "Try to relax, so that you're on your game tomorrow."

Jurors at Cosby's first trial deliberated for five days without reaching a verdict on three related counts of aggravated indecent assault. Each carries a prison sentence of up to 10 years.

That trial hinged largely on Andrea Constand's testimony alleging that the TV icon drugged her with three pills and sexually assaulted her at his suburban Philadelphia mansion in 2004.

Cosby maintains he gave Costand a cold and allergy medicine to help her relax before what he called a consensual sexual encounter.

Cosby's new defense team, led by Michael Jackson lawyer Tom Mesereau, attempted to raise doubts about Constand's credibility.

Both juries also heard from Cosby himself, via a deposition he gave in 2005 and 2006 as part of Constand's civil suit against him. In it, Cosby acknowledged he gave the sedative quaaludes to women before sex in the 1970s.

Constand got a civil settlement of nearly $3.4 million from Cosby.

Home / NEWS / Electricians call for national building industry product safety laws

Electricians call for national building industry product safety laws

Master Electricians Australia has called on all states and territories to implement uniform product safety laws for the building industry.

The call follows multiple examples of dangerous cladding and electrical cables being used in major buildings across Australia, and the recent passage of the Building and Construction Legislation (Non-Conforming Products-Chain of Responsibility) Amendment Bill in Queensland.

“Time and again we see building safety being compromised in the race to the bottom by importers of products for the construction industry,” Mr O’Dwyer said.

“This is an unacceptable risk to the safety of every Australian.”

The new Queensland laws mean that every person or organisation in the supply chain is responsible for the safety of the products installed on building sites, rather than just the licenced tradesperson doing the installation.

They also give the Queensland building watchdog greater powers to enter building sites, and allow the State Government to recall non-confirming products more easily.

Mr O’Dwyer called for a standard set of laws to be rolled out nationally across all jurisdictions, and said the recent Queensland legislation was the ideal starting point.

“It’s critically important that we have the same strong laws across each state and territory, or we run the risk that cheap and dangerous product will be diverted to those states perceived to be lacking in legal muscle.

“Master Electricians has been the leading voice within the building and construction industry when it comes to calling for governments to improve safety standards and to clamp down on dodgy imported products.

“We call on all Governments to ensure they are doing enough – both in terms of legislation and resourcing – to keep their citizens safe from the harm caused by dodgy electrical or building products.”

Jason O’Dwyer is available for interview. Please phone The SAS Group on 07 3221 9222.

Leesa Mattress Review

Warranty: 10 Years

Sleep Trial: 100-Nights

Price Range: $699-$1,199

Nerd Score: 4.9/5

Our Verdict: Simply put, Leesa is a great mattress. It is straightforward in its approach to be a comfortable bed for a lot of sleepers. It doesn’t have too many bells and whistles, but it has enough to accommodate you if you have some specific concerns like temperature regulation, edge support or pressure relief. If you’re an average weight sleeper, with average needs, looking for a comfortable, durable mattress, the Leesa is a great choice.

Who Is the Leesa Best For?

Best For…

May Not be Best For…

✅Average weight sleepers

✅Sleepers who like a true medium-firm feel

✅All sleeping positions

❌Sleepers who want a traditional memory foam feel

❌Strict stomach sleepers

❌Sleepers who love innerspring mattresses

What We’ll Cover in This Leesa Review

Launched in 2014, Leesa was among the first in a pack of direct-to-consumer, boxed mattress companies to hang an online shingle. Though dozens have followed in their steps, ramping up the stakes, Leesa still does a top-notch job delivering the goods—namely a mattress to fulfill the desires of that wide variety of sleepers in the middle, known as the average sleeper.

The Leesa can accommodate many people and I think they do it at a reasonable price. The Leesa company can accommodate a lot of customers and do it efficiently. That’s what you get from a company that led the charge into the online mattress-selling space. The company founders were bad sleepers looking for a fix to their own problems. They reached out to a mattress-making friend and the rest, according to the cliché, is history. Leesa asked first, “What’s wrong with mattresses today? How can we build a better one so people can get some sleep?” The answer they got was to get rid of the stuff that made mattresses expensive but didn’t really serve the goal of helping people sleep better.

They attacked some of the problems sleepers face—pain at pressure points like the hips and shoulders, poor spinal alignment, mattresses that held on heat—by developing and combining different types of foam that could deliver relief for all of those things in some measure. Core strength, pressure relief, cooling, bounce—it’s all there in Leesa’s three-layer foam construction.

In this review, we will dive into what to expect from the Leesa, who the mattress is best for, and some of its best features. If you’re up in the air and not sure what you want, Leesa is very likely a great choice for you.

Leesa Mattress Highlights

  • Versatile in that it adapts to all sleep positions and most body types.

What Type of Mattress is The Leesa?

The Leesa is a combination foam mattress and is medium-firm. See our list of the Best Firm Mattresses

Does Leesa Sleep Hot?

Memory foam mattresses earned a bad rap for retaining too much body heat. Better technology—including the egg carton-shaped top foam layer in the Leesa—create a cooler night of shut-eye for you.

Leesa Firmness & Feel

The Leesa is considered a medium-firm mattress. Because Leesa was striving to appeal to the most sleepers, regardless of how they slept, the firmness level also hits the middle of the pack.

In other words, if you want a fluffy cloud of a mattress, the Leesa won’t suit you. And if you want to sleep on something super firm, this won’t do it for you either.

Old-school foam mattresses also earned a bad rap for swallowing sleepers. You’d sink in and get stuck and they’d have to send in a search party after you. The Avena foam in the top layer has a lot of bounce to it. It responds quickly to your movements so you’re able to move and get out of it without any sinkage.

Will Couples Like the Leesa?

A couple’s harmony in the bedroom is important, and sleep is an important part of that harmony. The foam used in the Leesa will sink down when you sit on the edge of the mattress, but you won’t slip off. The third layer of foam does a great job keeping its structure. That means sleeping on the edges won’t be a problem either. There’s enough give to cradle the body so you avoid feeling like you’re pressing down on your back, thighs, hips, and shoulders. Less pressure, less pain, better sleep.

The way the layers of foam all provide either structure or contouring means the Leesa does a pretty good job isolating movement. In other words, if your partner gets out of bed to use the potty in the middle of the night, you might feel a slight jiggle, but you’re probably not waking up. Speaking of couples and motion isolation, Leesa also made our list of the best mattresses for sex

Leesa Mattress by Sleeping Positions

Back Stomach Side Combination
✅Fills in the lower back for support

✅Enough sinkage without feeling stuck

✅Does a good job supporting hips and keeping the spine aligned ❌May experience some pressure in shoulders ✅Easy to move around on

Back Sleepers: If you’re a back sleeper, you need proper support for your spine and neck. The Leesa mattress more than delivers on this quality; with a medium firmness level, this bed does a great job of supporting your back and maintaining spine alignment. Because this is a firmer memory foam bed, you get that firmness sweet spot of just enough cushioning combined with durable support.

Stomach Sleepers: Stomach sleepers require a mattress that supports and elevates their hips in order to prevent any sinkage that could cause the spine to curve. They also need a bed that keeps pressure off of their chest and shoulders. Luckily, this memory foam bed provides just support to keep the spine aligned, while also contouring to your curves so you feel well-supported and comfortable throughout the night.

Side Sleepers: Pressure relief and contouring are key features side sleepers should look for in a mattress. Because they sleep on their side, their hips and shoulders tend to take the majority of their weight. The Leesa mattress does feature a comfort layer of contouring memory foam that works to cradle the body, but some side sleepers may want a softer mattress for added pressure relief.

Combination Sleepers: Most average weight combination sleepers will enjoy the Leesa mattress. The memory foam layers work to isolate motion and the top layer does an excellent job of responding to your movements. If you change positions throughout the night, the Leesa will ensure you’re supported no matter where you shift to.

Leesa Mattress Design

The Leesa is an all-foam mattress that excels in support, cooling features, and pressure relief to the body.

Top Layer: 2-inch layer made of cooling foam that keeps sleepers cool and responds to their movement. It’s called “LSA200 foam” and mimics the feel of latex. Most foam beds don’t do a great job of keeping you cool so this is a big pro for the Leesa. Also, the way the foam responds to movement means the mattress is a good fit for all sleep positions—back, side or stomach. It is one of our top picks for the best mattresses for back pain

Second Layer: A 2-inch second comfort layer is made up of contouring memory foam, which cradles the body and provides significant pressure relief.

Base Layer: The 6-inch bottom layer is the densest layer of the three. The polyfoam layer makes up the core support of the mattress, sturdy enough to enhance the structure of the Leesa. The support foam is 3-pound density, which will withstand everyday use. Anything flimsier than 3 pounds will not withstand the long haul.

How Much Does A Leesa Mattress Cost?

Twin Twin XL Full Queen King Cal King
$699 $749 $899 $999 $1,199 $1,199

That range is reasonable compared to other quality mattresses. When the online store saves money by avoiding a brick-and-mortar setup, the customer benefits. Even though Leesa doesn’t have its own retail space, you don’t have to buy before you try. You can go to any West Elm or Pottery Barn store to check out the mattress.

Leesa also sells its own foundations, one designed for this mattress. It’s $295 and, in quality, compares to something you’d buy out of an actual mattress store.

This is an upgrade for Leesa, which did not sell a matching foundation when it first came out. You can also buy another brand so long as it has a rigid base. That is important to keep the structure of the foam mattress strong and healthy for a long time.

Dimensions & Specs

  • Twin: 39″ x 75″
  • Twin XL: 36” x 80”
  • Full: 53” x 75”
  • Queen: 60” x 80”
  • King: 76” x 80”
  • Cal King: 72” x 84”

71 pounds for the queen

10 inches

One interesting note about the 10-inch thickness, there was an experiment done on the mattress that simulated 10 years of use and wear. After the experiment, the Leesa had lost none of its thickness.  It was still doing its job.

Leesa Sleep Trial, Warranty, Shipping & Unboxing

You have roughly three months to road test the Leesa foam mattress. You need to sleep on the mattress for at least 30 of that 100-night trial period before you can return it. It takes time for people to get used to a new mattress and for the mattress to break in. Thirty days go fast.

If you do return it, you will get a full refund. One note, Leesa ships to all 50 states, but people living in Alaska and Hawaii will have to pay $100 to return it. Leesa is a certified B Company, which gives out its certification to the most socially responsible companies only. If you return the mattress, Leesa will donate it to a local charity that needs it. Coming and going, you accept very little risk to try the Leesa mattress. See: Leesa vs. Purple Mattress

Leesa also offers a 10-year full replacement warranty. For 10 years, if the mattress shows a defect, unrelated to wear and tear, Leesa will repair or replace it. There’s no fee for that. Also, the mattresses work best on a solid base or a foundation strong enough to support both the Leesa and the sleeper.

One of the original boxed mattresses comes compressed and rolled into, you guessed it, a box! (15” x 15” x 45” for a queen).  Open the box. Take it out of the box. Free it from its plastic wrapping. Watch it expand. Have a drink while you’re at it. Enjoy. Done.

Leesa promises to deliver within 3-6 business days after receiving your order. Shipping is free to all 50 states.

In some locations, you can also pay for white glove delivery. Someone else will bring the mattress and set it up for you and take away the packaging. If you want them to also remove your old mattress, you can pay another $50 for that service.

Our Leesa Mattress Review

Nerd Score: 4.9/5

There are few things we can bank on in the world, but the Leesa comes very close to being a sure-fire hit for average sleepers who need a new mattress.

I’ve tested the Leesa more than any other mattress out there(I test it nightly!). I’ve had dozens of opportunities to change my recommendation with all of these new mattress start-ups, but between the Leesa being very comfortable and them being one of the biggest and oldest companies in the space, I see no reason to change my mind.

Even looking at other reviews on other platforms, across the board, Leesa rates very highly due to strong edge support, the memory foam’s ability to relieve pressure and how quickly it responds and resettles you into the mattress when you move about.

Leesa also offers other versions to compliment this well rounded, every man/woman mattress, but we’re confident most people will embrace the Leesa as a purchase they won’t regret. Check out our other luxury mattress picks.

What is the weight limit for Leesa?

The Leesa is constructed to hold up to 300 pounds

Do I need to use a certain foundation?

You have several options on where to place your Leesa mattress. A solid platform, a box foundation, a bunkie board on top of a traditional box spring or a slatted base.

Comments (204)

  1. SLEEPS VERY VERY HOT! Anyone around 200lb up BEWARE! The Leesa mattress sleeps incredibly hot if you are not light enough. You sink below the cooling layer and wake up with your back on fire. I have never had an issue with a mattress previously. I am buying a new mattress after a year because I didn’t get my act into gear and return it within 100 days due to travelling. I tried everything, rotating it, a cooling mattress pad, cool pillows and sheets. Nothing works. Do not buy this mattress unless you are light.

  2. After weeks of researching and limited funds I found a guy selling new beds that were used for staging homes for real estate. He had a new Leesa for a fraction of the price, I was so excited yet skeptical. I called Leesa to see if they knew of any knock offs. She said there’s no knock offs and to enjoy the bed. I did call again a second time as I was so nervous giving all the cash I had but desperately needing a good bed and from the reviews I really wanted a Leesa. I went ahead and got the bed. It’s the first night and here I am at 4:00am still haven’t slept because the bed is so hard it’s hurting my back. I’m so sad because I can’t afford to buy another bed and I’m really thinking there’s no way after so many good reviews this could be a real Leesa bed. Later today after no sleep at all, I’m going to West Elm store to try a Leesa bed out too compare but I’m not sure I even want to know that I probably got ripped off because there’s nothing I can do about it and Im stuck irregardless with this bed and may end up sleeping on the couch permanently until I can afford another mattress.

  3. We’ve had the Leesa for 11 nights, I was hoping I was going to sleep well on it however I’m tossing and turning all night. Do you think I’m still adjusting and there’s hope? My husband slept like a baby from day 1. I’m a bit gutted because we got it for me, to improve my sleep. Think I might buy a memory foam pillow see if that helps. Or shall I send it back and try a different company.

    • If it feels a little too firm, I’d expect it to get a little softer over the course of the next couple weeks. That’s typical of foam mattresses, and why most companies recommend keeping a mattress for a few weeks before deciding on an exchange.

  4. Do you have any recommendations for mattress protectors. I’m looking for one specifically for the Leesa (which I love), that is also waterproof (specifically to pets), and reasonably priced, and holds up to regular washings, and also stays cool as this is one of the great things about the Leesa which we don’t want to lose.

    • The one I use is called the bedgear Dri-Tec. It’s a great protector, but I’m not a fan of the company behind it.

      Story time: I approached them at Las Vegas furniture market because at the time two of my affiliates sold their products, and I wanted to chat with them about their products. They stopped me at the door of their empty booth, and when I explained who I was and what I wanted to discuss, they sneered “We don’t do e-commerce, thanks anyway” in the most sarcastic voice they could muster and sent me away.

      They were just standing there, guarding the entryway, with nobody inside, and didn’t seem to care that I had an audience of a million people a year I could tell about their product.

      Unfortunately (for me, I guess), their product is just so damn good that I recommend it anyway, if you can find it.

      It looks like Bed Bath and Beyond has it on their website, but not in the queen size. You can also buy it directly from bedgear.

  5. We bought a “Tuft and Needle” and we’ve had it not quite a year I think. But the foam breaks down after wear. I loved it at first and now I’d never buy one again. The edges are very spongey and we both have bad backs and at first it was great, now not so. I am glad I found your web page. How long have you had your lease mattress? Thank you for listening

    • I’ve had my Leesa for almost 3 years now. I actually intend to write an updated article soon.

      It’s still in good shape. It’s not in exactly the same shape as when I got it, but it’s still very comfortable. It’s comfortable enough that I keep it as my primary mattress despite mattress companies offering me their mattresses for free for review. I could request a king from any of them and make it my primary mattress, but I’m still happy with the Leesa after all this time.

    • I don’t ship mattresses at all. If you’re asking if Leesa ships to Japan, I don’t think they do, but you can ask them.

  6. Hi, I bought a Leesa queen-size two years ago and have liked it until recently — I apparently fall asleep on my side, the mattress accommodates, and then i wake up in the morning on my back in a giant trough, in pain.
    Do you have any ideas on what to add to the bed to make it — I don’t even know what it needs — less soft on top and less remembery (the memory foam)? I’m in so much pain but can’t imagine paying another $1000 so soon.
    Thank you!

    • There’s not much you can do to make a mattress feel firmer. Maybe a thinner, high density latex topper on top. You might also want to contact the company to make sure there’s no warranty issue. It just being a little too soft isn’t a warranty issue, but if it’s actually sagging, that could be a warranty claim.

  7. In your opinion, will sleeping on the leesa before it’s firmed up 100% ruin it? I’m tempted to wait a week before using it.

    • A week?

      Just give it a few hours. I don’t recommend sleeping on it within minutes of unboxing it. I don’t know about “ruining” it, but it’s better to let it fully expand. But again, that’s a matter of a few hours.

  8. Was glad to have found your site and your excellent review of Leesa. I am approaching the end of my trial period with Leesa and am still on the fence. It is much better than the previous bed-in-a-box I tried (Endy) in that it doesn’t sleep hot and I don’t feel “stuck” in the mattress. While Endy was too soft I’m concerned Leesa might be a little too firm (Apparently I have Goldilocks syndrome). I am considering getting a topper or mattress pad to soften things up, but my question is does putting something on top of one of these mattresses kind of defeat the purpose of buying one? Do I lose the support and body-contouring capabilities of the memory foam by adding a topper or pad on top? Thanks!

    • Putting something on top of the mattress does not defeat the purpose. If a mattress is too firm, it’s a sensible thing to do, especially if it’s just a little too firm. Also, if the mattress continues to soften a little more, let’s say a few years from now, you can just take away the topper.

      I’ve had my Leesa for over 2 years now, and during the first 6 months or so I thought it was just a little too firm, but it has since settled into being just about perfect.

  9. how would you compare the Leesa firmness to the medium firm of the love and sleep. We like the idea of more than one firmless to select from. But we like the sounds of the Leesa. We do not like over firm. We have slept on the same full motion water bed for 31 years. Looking for something easier to get out of

    • Overall, they’re a pretty similar firmness.

      They will feel a bit different because of the types of foam used. The Leesa has a little more “bounce” to it in the surface layer and feels just a tiny bit firmer to me.

Abbott’s FreeStyle Libre Catches Sanofi’s Eye in New Collaboration

Paris-based Sanofi will work with Abbott Laboratories to integrate glucose sensing and insulin delivery technologies to help improve diabetes management in patients. Abbott’s Freestyle Libre – a device that brought in $430 million in revenue for 2Q19, will be at the heart of the collaboration.

Two powerhouses in pharma and medtech are working together to help people with diabetes better manage their condition. Abbott Laboratories and Sanofi will collaborate to integrate glucose sensing and insulin delivery technologies.

The two companies will take an innovative approach to connected care by developing tools that combine the Abbott Park, Il-based company’s FreeStyle Libre technology with Paris-based Sanofi′s insulin dosing information.

Initially, the collaboration enables data sharing, at the consent of the user, between Abbott′s FreeStyle Libre mobile app and cloud software and Sanofi′s connected insulin pens, apps, and cloud software that are currently in development. This data sharing will enable both people with diabetes and their doctors to make better-informed treatment decisions around medication, nutrition, and lifestyle.

"Sanofi and Abbott aim to provide this to people with diabetes within the next few years, pending local in-country regulatory approvals," Abbott told MD+DI in an email. "We will share details on launch and timing in the future closer to the launch dates."

The Freestyle Libre, which received approval by FDA in 2017, has been a massive success. Abbott recorded sales of $430 million for Libre in 2Q19 analysts expect it to approach $2 billion for the year, based on consensus, according to Matthew Taylor, an analyst for UBS. The Freestyle Libre is a game-changing device because the diabetes monitoring system eliminates routine finger sticks, which have been the standard of glucose tests for more than 40 years.

"As the global leader in continuous glucose monitoring, we see a significant opportunity to impact the health of millions of people living with diabetes by developing new tools and connectivity with Sanofi, a leader in the insulin space," Jared Watkin, senior VP, Diabetes Care, Abbott, said in a release. "Diabetes can be overwhelming as it is an information-rich condition with various streams of data from multiple devices. Building a digital ecosystem around FreeStyle Libre simplifies the user experience by consolidating how people get their data – both through offering Abbott′s digital health tools and by working with other diabetes and technology leaders."

Sanofi’s Medtech Collaborations in Diabetes

Even though Sanofi is considered a big player in pharma, the company has crossed the aisle on more than one occasion to work with medtech. Last year Sanofi was part of a “dream team” collaboration with Sensile and Verily Life Sciences. The trio was formed with the purpose of developing and commercializing a new generation of “all-in-one” pre-filled insulin patch pumps, primarily to serve people living with type 2 diabetes.

But Sanofi’s collaboration with Verily three years go might arguably be one of the most significant partnerships in the diabetes management space.

Did Boston Scientific Use Counterfeit Plastic in Pelvic Mesh?

Vaginal mesh problems are back in the spotlight this week after a scathing 60 Minutes report claimed the company knowingly bought counterfeit plastic materials from a Chinese supplier to produce the devices. Boston Scientific says the claims are "completely false" and based on outdated and previously disproven allegations.

Companies that sell implantable transvaginal mesh devices have been fighting massive, multi-district litigation for years as thousands of U.S. women have complained of severe complications after surgery. Now, a scathing 60 Minutes report on the issue has Boston Scientific up in arms.

CBS aired the 60 Minutes report Sunday evening, uncovering emails that suggest Marlborough, MA-based Boston Scientific knowingly bought counterfeit plastic material from a Chinese supplier to produce the devices and even repackaged the material to hide the fact that it was an imitation product. The show's producers said Boston Scientific declined an interview with 60 Minutes, but the company responded to the claims in a statement issued shortly after the segment aired.

The investigative story contained "completely false claims that our transvaginal mesh products contain counterfeited and smuggled materials," according to the company's statement, which is signed by CEO Mike Mahoney, and Dave Pierce, president of Boston Scientific's urology and pelvic health division.

Vaginal mesh implants are made of polypropylene, a type of plastic commonly used in packaging.

Boston Scientific originally bought a brand of polypropylene called Marlex from a Texas-based subsidiary of Chevron Phillips. But in 2005, Chevron Phillips stopped selling Marlex to Boston Scientific out of concern that the material should not be used in medical applications involving permanent implantation into the human body.

"Later, when Boston Scientific appealed, Chevron Phillips replied 'we are simply not interested in this business at any price'," 60 Minutes reported.

That put the company in a bind because FDA approval of its transvaginal mesh products was based on the use of Marlex to produce the devices. In 2010, a second supplier refused to sell polypropylene for use in medical devices.

"Boston Scientific's global sourcing division decided to use a middleman with no direct link to Boston Scientific so the plastic makers wouldn't know the true buyer," the 60 Minutes producers said in their report. "But that plan failed."

As MD+DI previously reported, a 2016 lawsuit alleged that Boston Scientific ended up smuggling a counterfeit version of Marlex from China, but a federal judge gave FDA jurisdiction over that case.

That supplier was a Guanghzou, China-based company called Emai Plastic Raw Materials. According to the 60 Minutes segment, Emai told Boston Scientific it had "tons" of Marlex imported from Chevron Phillips in Texas.

"Boston Scientific's man in China wrote his superiors, 'Do we need to ask Emai if this material is supposed to be used in medical implantables?' Boston Scientific's director of materials management replied, 'Please don't tell them where we will use it, it could scare them away'," 60 Minutes said, citing court documents.

Boston Scientific's own quality assurance procedures required documentation that Emai's product was indeed Marlex from Chevron Phillips. But Emai did not have the required documentation to verify authenticity. The company reportedly checked the lot numbers on the bags it purchased from Emai and confirmed with Chevron Phillips that the numbers were fraudulent and that even the packaging was fake.

Further investigation by Boston Scientific included a test analyzing 11 parameters to compare the Marlex obtained directly from Chevron Phillips to the Emai-sourced Marlex, according to 60 Minutes. Only two parameters were the same, and of the nine that were different, four of those parameters read as "very different."

And yet, Boston Scientific concluded the two materials were the same and proceeded to buy enough of the Emai-sourced plastic to last 30 years, the news program revealed.

"The broadcast resurfaced outdated and previously disproven allegations first made by attorneys in 2016," Boston Scientific said in its statement. "Our rigorous testing and investigation have shown that the resin currently used in our products matches a formulation from the original U.S.-produced resin."

The company said FDA also reviewed the information and drew the same conclusions.

The 60 Minutes report also suggested that Boston Scientific decided to hide the counterfeited packaging from customs officials by "over bagging" the product in plain wrappers. Then, on its customs declarations forms, Boston Scientific told Chinese customs officials the plastic was made in China, and told U.S. customs officials the plastic was made in Texas.

Boston Scientific denied these allegations and said the documents and photos shown during the 60 Minutes segment were taken out of context.

"Numerous communications not shown by 60 Minutes demonstrated that our employees were committed to making sure that we complied with all import and export regulations in shipping the resin to the U.S. The steps taken by Boston Scientific depicted in this segment were inaccurate," the company said. "We packaged the materials to prevent them from damage during transportation. This was well-documented and would not have prevented customs officials from opening or further inspecting the bags."

Boston Scientific said the 60 Minutes segment offered a one-sided view and commentary from clinicians and plastic experts who have been involved in lawsuits against the company.

"It is important to keep in mind that polypropylene-based (plastic) devices have been a mainstay in many medical procedures for more than 50 years, including hernia and tendon repair, sutures, and wound closure," the company said. "Furthermore, our products meet rigorous internal safety standards, international standards, as well the standards of the FDA and other regulatory bodies. Leading physician societies have issued supporting statements on mesh, and the American Urogynecologic Society recently shared its perspective."

These products are used to treat women with pelvic floor disorders, and Boston Scientific said its transvaginal mesh products have been used to successfully treat nearly 1 million women.

"Our mesh products contribute to only 1% of annual sales to our company. Continuing to provide these mesh products is not about profits. It is about doing what is right for patients," according to Boston Scientific. "Without these products, women would be left with few treatment options for these debilitating and often embarrassing conditions."

These devices were never "approved" by the FDA, they were cleared via the less demanding 510(k) process. The difference is important. Also, the 60 minutes story revealed some things never to include in written communications. One is "Don't tell them". Another is "if it is caught by customs we will be in trouble". This reminded me of an email I reviewed years ago (not involving BSC) that said "we have certainly had reason this year to hedge our responsibility".
"not about profit?" Please. Give me a break. Boston Scientific, just like AMS, Bard, Johnson & Johnson, and the other companies making this garbage, are about nothing but profit.

The definition of irony

ORLANDO, Fla.—Today in the press room at the HIMSS conference was the following media advisory:

IBM Unveils Healthcare Island on Second Life
3:30 p.m. EST, Feb. 27, 2008
IBM Booth # 5563—HIMSS
Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, Florida

IBM will unveil its Virtual Healthcare Island on Second Life at this event. The IBM Virtual Healthcare Island is a unique, three-dimensional representation of the challenges facing today’s healthcare industry and the role information technology will play in transforming global healthcare-delivery to meet patient needs. Visiting “avatars” experience the private and secure creation of a functioning Personal Health Record as they progress through the island’s various stations, including a medical laboratory, clinic, pharmacy, hospital, and emergency room.

All this is from IBM. You know, the company that paid millions to air the following commercial during the Super Bowl:

There you have it, the definition of irony. Either that, or yet another reason to believe PHRs in their current state are mostly vaporware.

Swine flu vaccine and ME/CFS – fourth ME Association update

The ME Association is continually updating its website information and guidance for people with ME/CFS in relation to swine flu, Tamiflu and swine flu vaccination.

Our last general round-up on the subject can be found in the ‘Quick Links’ section of this website.

We are also asking for feedback from people who have been given swine flu vaccine.  Feedback so far has been limited due to the fact that some doctors do not accept that ME/CFS could be a high priority illness for swine flu vaccination purposes.  Consequently, most of the feedback has been from people who have had the vaccine for employment purposes (eg health service staff) or they have another illness that is clearly in the NHS high priority list (eg asthma).

We have had 54 replies so far.
Overall, most people have reported one or more ‘minor problems’ with the vaccine.
Five people (one with severe ME) have had no problems at all.
One or more ‘minor’ adverse reactions, in particular local soreness and sometimes swelling at the injection site, have been frequently reported.  Other ‘minor’ adverse reactions include feeling feverish, headaches, sore throat, nausea and wanting to sleep more than normal. A significant number have also had what appears to be a temporary exacerbation of their ME/CFS fatigue +/- joint or muscle pain.
However, eight people (8/54) have reported a more prolonged and serious exacerbation/relapse of their ME/CFS.  In one case the vaccination has been linked to an attack of shingles, which resulted in hospitalisation.
Of particular concern is a single report of a previously fit adolescent who developed a number of ME/CFS type symptoms four days after his vaccination.  Whilst this link to the vaccination may be pure co-incidence, we do know that ME/CFS can occasionally be triggered by vaccinations, including the normal flu vaccine.  This case is being reported to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Authority (MHRA) by The MEA on the Yellow Card reporting system.  And it is very important to make sure that doctors in the UK report all suspected adverse events to swine flu vaccination to the MHRA.
One person has reported an improvement in their ME/CFS symptoms – something that is occasionally reported with ordinary flu vaccine and some other vaccinations.
The MEA will continue to monitor the response of people with ME/CFS to swine flu vaccine.
If you have been vaccinated against swine flu, please let us know through our ME Connect email what happened afterwards and (if possible) the brand of vaccine used

Which Native Ad Units Perform Best

Design the ad unit to make it look as if it’s part of the page -- that’s the way native advertising works.

The biggest challenge these days is deciding which native ad format will generate the most return on investment -- a question behind a study done by my6sense, a software company focused on artificial intelligence.

Results: in-feed ads showed two times higher click-through and engagement rates than recommendation widgets, and up to 10 times higher CTRs and engagement than in-ad units.

The survey also found that mobile screen size does not hinder performance. Mobile native ads saw double the CTR of desktop native ads because users can view the ads any time while on the go.

“We expect to see more storytelling and branded content types of advertising,” said Avinoam Rubinstain, CEO/founder of my6sense. That’s keeping in mind new formats, like the video native ad units introduced by Google in 2016.

The research also found exclusive focus on one advertiser in a series of in-feed units results in greater engagement rates, making this type of native ad desired most by marketers in the automotive and retail space.

The in-ad native format, which includes multiple ad and content units, generates lower revenue for publishers and less engagement for advertisers, given its smaller size and less central location. However, it outperforms banner ads on both of these metrics.

From an advertiser and publisher perspective, recommendation widgets get the best results. The research finds that widgets account for about one-third of native ads. In-feed native units followed with 30% and in-ad native units came in at 25%.

These days, most ad units can be placed programmatically.

Native display ad revenue in the U.S. will contribute 74% to the total U.S. display ad revenue by 2021, up from a 56% share in 2016, according to BI Intelligence estimates based on data from the Interactive Advertising Bureau, PwC, and IHS.

The good performance of these ads is at least one reason for continued investment in native ad companies. PowerLinks, which supports programmatic native advertising, secured about $6 million in Series A funding in a round led by Foresight Group. The announcement, made in February, followed a year of expansions, according to one report.

Painting is no doubt an essential part of any house. Your items may be covered for weeks while you may have to stay in a nearby hotel until the job is done. The exciting part doesn’t end here. Each color has its essence and can have effects on your mood. Bright color may make you feel lighter, whereas a darker shade may be well suited for smaller rooms.

Among all the colors and the places visited the sandstone paint Sydney has grabbed the attention as one of the hottest trends in the housing industry. Before you make in the sudden decision of changing the color of your walls, here are some basics that you should keep in mind.

Clean the walls properly –

Before you have even started painting your home with your dream colors, there are a couple of things that you need to know. Cleaning the walls is the first step. The walls may look dust free, without any stains or spots but the fine dust particles are still present all over the walls. You need to get rid of them before making any changes to the wall.

Take care of your items –

You probably have a lot in your household. One drop of color on your favorite furniture and your entire collection may get destroyed. Hence it is essential to bring all the items of the room to the center and to cover it with some protective sheets like plastic sheets.

Determine how much paint you need –

As each day counts, it has become quite essential for you to know how much paint is required in the whole activity. Many colors may be used in the entire journey and hence it is necessary to know how much paint is needed in total. A slightly higher number or a somewhat lower number is acceptable, but it should not exceed far beyond expectations.

Test the colors before painting on the entire walls-

A small can of paint is sufficient to test the color of your choice. Make patches of different colors to check how the colors look in different lighting conditions. Take your time and streamline to one.

Know that paints can be changed –

Sometimes paints may look entirely different when colored throughout the wall. The solution is easy. Paints being inexpensive give an option to change the entire collection if you are dissatisfied with the primary colors.

Apply primer before Painting -

The very first of painting involves applying primer on the walls before actually applying the paint. Primers seal the small holes on the wall and make the surface clean and smooth for the color to be used on. Plain, smooth walls add charm to the new look, and hence primer is a must before painting.

These are some of the few essential steps that one needs to think upon before applying colors on the walls. Finding liquid stone dealers Nelson Bay has become a natural phenomenon. Just in a few clicks, one can find an endless number of suppliers in the region. Before selecting the proper provider make sure that the dealer is aware of specific parameters and is good to go for long terms relations.
