Repackaged medication means a manufacturer's supply of medications that are sent in bulk are transferred into smaller containers or packages to make it easier for a patient to use.
Repackaged medication is made by companies purchasing medicines in bulk. They then use more convenient and safe packaging to provide more structured doses.
Some repackaged medication is made for single unit dosing. That means one pill is accessible at a time and the packaging is labeled so the patient does not get confused as to when they are supposed to take their medicine.
There are many benefits to using repackaged medication in your point of care dispensing program. Below are seven benefits you can count on when dealing with a reputable repackaging company.
Contractor Choice In Repackaged Medication
When you work with a company who provides repackaged medication, you get to choose which company is right for your practice. You can interview and get references on a company before contracting with them.
You do not have to sign with the first repackaged medication company that comes along. You can take your time in finding the company that meets your standards. Check out their logistics, costs, designs, capacity and ethics.
Because you are in control of this decision you want to make sure you do business with a reputable provider of repackaged medication, meet with company representatives and create a contract that meets the needs of your office.
Clean Environments For Repackaged Medication
Repackaged medication is stored and packaged in a clean, safe environment. The rooms are temperature controlled and have added security to protect the medicines. Monitoring is controlled with the use of state of the art computerized technology.
Repackaging facilities are held to higher standards than pharmacies. How often do you see pharmacists cleaning their counter tops when filling prescriptions? Germs transferred from a pharmacist's counter to a medicine can cause adverse reactions. Plus, it is just unhealthy.
Compliance with DEA and FDA Regulations
Both the Drug Enforcement Agency and the Food and Drug Administration set forth strict guidelines for repackaged medication companies. The regulations are set forth to protect the patient, the doctor and the facility doing the repackaging.
If repackaging companies fail to adhere to the regulations, they are warned, inspected and eventually shut down and prevented from operating. Repackaged medication companies are expected to provide documentation and visual proof that all regulations are being met.
The World Health Organization sets forth dispensing guidelines that must be followed by the physician and practice staff. Repackaging companies make it easy for doctors to comply with these guidelines, which cover the entire process from writing the prescription to handing medicine to the patient.
Convenient Packaging
Whether it is unit-of-use packaging or bottling, repackaged medication is made to be easy to use by the patient. They come with pre-prepared labeling with serialization. They also have pre-printed information on the packaging so the patient will make no errors on how much to take and when.
Packaging is important for drug stability. Packaging must be able to protect the drugs from external elements. These elements can include shipping conditions, temperature variances and even the outside packaging that holds the repackaged medicines.
Container Closure Expertise
There are specific standards a repackaged medication company must follow when it comes to preparing bottles, multi-unit or individual unit packages. The containers must be better than the original container from the manufacturer.
The new containers must take into consideration moisture, light, vapors, sealants and compatibility with the drug itself.
Repackaged medication companies are experts in containers and the standards set forth for protecting medicine. This means you can rely on them for compliance rather than you needing to become educated on all the requirements for containers.
Controlled Substances and Traceability
An advantage of repackaged medication is that you can obtain all types of drugs, including controlled substances. You do not have to order controlled substances in bulk or worry about storing them in your office.
You do not have to continually check for expiration and then figure out how to dispose of them properly once they do expire. The repackaging company can do all of this for you.
Repackaging of controlled substances makes them safer for you, the physician, and for the patient. Controlled substances, and all other repackaged medicines, are coded and labeled. Meaning, they are traceable all the way back to the manufacturer.
This provides all people involved with a security that if a medication is stolen or misused, it can be tracked to verify where the medicine originated and for whom or what it was intended.
Cost Saving for the Patient and Physician
Unit-dose packaging means each pill or tablet is packaged separately. This means the patient only pays for the medicines they receive. They do not have to pay for bulk orders that leave them with leftover medicine.
Worker's compensation programs allow patients to receive repackaged medicines, making it easier for the patient to get the medicines they need for recovery. Patients do not have to spend time shopping around for the cheapest place to buy their medicine.
Some say this causes an increase in cost and sometimes this is true. But it is not an increase in cost for the patient or for you, the physician. More likely, it is an increase for the employer.
Using a repackaged medication company can save you money. You simply purchase the medicines you know you will use, or that your patients will need.
In addition, you only need to place an order for more medicines when you begin to run out of your current supply. Again, only paying for the medicines needed, no extras.
As you can see, repackaged medication companies can offer your practice many benefits. Most importantly, they can offer you time to focus on your patients rather than spending too much time on the medicines being prescribed.
When you use a repackaged medication company for your in office dispensing program, they do all the work. From installing their software to connecting you to the insurance companies to resupplying your inventory, they can do the work for you.
This type of ancillary service is created to add revenue to your business without adding more work to your schedule. Using a repackaging company will help you achieve this goal.

E-cargo bicycles for entrepreneurs
In large, crowded cities, where problems with parking and polluted air are common, bicycles are a great alternative to cars. The city of Gdynia bought 10 electric delivery bikes for entrepreneurs running business in Downtown. Entrepreneurs can borrow the bikes for free from the city for a period of 28 days, with the possibility to extend.
Electric bikes are designed to help entrepreneurs to transport different types of products quickly, over short distances with minimal impact to the environment. They have a choice of different types of (cargo) bikes, catering to the different needs of the entrepreneurs. Each is equipped with an electric battery, which can be charged by connecting to the socket. The electric bikes can carry loads up to 100 kg of cargo. Cargo bikes are a modern, efficient, economical and environmentally friendly type of transport. According to the European Cyclists' Federation, they can successfully replace vans in cities throughout the European Union.

A boy with a condition so rare it hasn't got a name yet must to fly to The Netherlands so his mum can get answers.
Cole Johnston, 11, can't talk, can barely walk, needs round the clock care and absolutely everything done for him.
Doctors were unable to pinpoint the East Belfast boy's problem until he took part in a UK genetic study that found he has a protein disorder that impacts his brain and nervous system.
His mum Ellen, 40, told Belfast Live: "It's a nightmare.
"Cole has a really rare genetic condition - he's the only in Northern Ireland with it. I was fighting for so long to try and find out what is wrong with Cole.
"Doctor after doctor doesn't really know what to be doing with him. Tests come back fine but they know there are big issues there - we don't really know enough about it."
Before Cole's "fluke" diagnosis three years ago, Ellen said she worried that she was to blame for his condition.
"You feel worried that it was you, that you had done something wrong in your pregnancy or you were the person that caused it," explained the 40-year-old.
"I knew when he was four months there was something wrong with him but it took us 'til about eight months to work it out. You feel very (much) that you have done something."
When Cole was finally diagnosed with a CaMKII protein fault, Ellen said she "was shell shocked".
"A French scientist picked him out and he was diagnosed three years ago," she added.
Now she hopes to find out "what drugs will help him" and how to "give him some quality of life".
"It's everything," she continued.
"Cole has no quality of life. He can't go and play with a toy, he can't tell you what he wants. He can't feed himself and you are basically doing all his care.
"He has a mental age of six to nine months so you have to watch him continually. He also eats everything - including non food objects. You have to him watch 24-7.
"We just want a wee bit of clarification on what's going on," added Cole's mum. "They all have a lot of stomach problems, atypical seizures, don't really feel a lot of pain and the pain threshold is very high. There's no communication and maybe the odd child can say a word or two.
"Cole is one of the lucky ones as he can walk a wee bit, but physically they don't know how he can.
"It's just going to be so beneficial (to go to the conference) as we will get an insight," Ellen explained.
"Cole was only really diagnosed three years ago by fluke and nobody really knows what to do with him. I have to take him to Rotterdam in November to meet up with the scientists who found it."
The mum-of-three is funding the trip to the First International CAMKII Disorder Patient Conference on November 13 & 14 herself.
But in order to get her son there safely she says he needs a new wheelchair and special safety harness not available on the NHS .
"Cole has never flown before and we need a harness to keep him safe basically," added Ellen.
"He can't sit in a normal chair so it's going to be gruesome. You can't tell him to sit down because he doesn't know to do that. Plus he's double jointed and can get out of everything.
"The harness pulls him in - it's a safety thing because if he tries to get out it will be mayhem."
The mum of three said a new chair will also make the world of difference to family as he has been refused respite care as it is too bulky.
"From he is six I have been trying to get him into overnight respite," added Ellen. "One place won't take him because he can walk a bit, the other place won't take him because he can't walk well enough.
"There's one other unit left and they are refusing to take him because of the chair.
"I have to watch Cole all night on a monitor and it means I don't get to spend time with my youngest, so she has a lot of sacrifices as well. You feel like you are letting your children down.
"The wheelchair is going to change my life because I need a break."

Crypto and blockchain job seekers are in for a treat. One of the primary financial regulators – the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) – in the United Kingdom is looking for someone who can serve in a crypto/ blockchain capacity and help them better understand the properties and abilities behind distributed ledger technology.
The FCA Is Searching Far and Wide
The job post reads as follows:
You will enjoy a unique view of the financial services industry, law enforcement partners and UK government with the opportunity to do meaningful work that makes a real difference in protecting consumers, our firms, and UK financial services industry against financial crime harm.
This is a clear sign that cryptocurrencies and the technology behind them are potentially becoming more mainstream, and government officials are looking to better understand them as they edge their way deeper into the daily lives of traders and consumers alike.
The job description further states that the person up for the job must have a clear understanding of present legislation directed towards cryptocurrencies, including the Financial Services and Markets Act. They will be expected to act as the "go-to" person for all the FCA's blockchain and crypto questions and provide specific details regarding where regulation should potentially move in the future.
Daniel Williams – a UK-based financial advisor with Morgan Williams & Co. – explained in a statement:
The FCA has tried to modernize its thinking over the past few years, it's their duty to try to keep up with new assets and technologies.
He also explained that the FCA is also looking to bolster its crypto knowledge not necessarily because it thinks crypto is becoming a staple of the future, but because it wants to protect the rights and holdings of modern traders.
Right now, cryptocurrencies remain largely unregulated. While we are starting to see small snippets of legislation pop up in developed regions like the United States and parts of Europe, trading such currencies can be very risky given that many exchanges still operate without the influence of government or financial agencies.
As a result, 2019 saw more cybertheft, hackings and digital attacks than any other year, and the amount of cryptocurrency funds stolen was at a record high.
We Want to Protect You
Unless stronger action is taken by global regulators, we can expect to see more of this in the coming years. In the United Kingdom alone, the FCA reports that British crypto investors lost as much as $34 million between 2018 and 2019.
It's interesting to see the FCA take such a huge stance in getting to know cryptocurrencies better, considering in July of last year the organization issued a statement suggesting that they were "unsuitable" investments. The following month, it submitted a final report regarding how it felt digital assets could (and should) be regulated.

Some Questions About the Game
Since it is a survival game, will certain groupings of dragons be discouraged?
I.e a bunch of microdragons following around a behemoth for example, or small juvies trying to follow some unrelated adults around and feed off of any scraps they leave behind. Will this be frowned upon?
I personally hope this ISN'T the case; certain other survival games with packing restrictions kind of killed what made the game fun, imo. Having the freedom to interact with every other player you come across however you'd like (chasing them away from a spot you want to yourself, befriending them, helping them hunt, or fighting them) is part of what keeps games like this fun, in my opinion. There's sort of a random aspect to it, never knowing what you'll find and what alliances you'll make.
In certain other games, it kind of just ends up boiling down to "oh, a pack of [x creature], time to not get near them because rules dictate we'll be banned if we coexist/aren't instantly hostile. Oh, a pack of [x creature]. Well, rules dictate I'm prey for them, so time to not interact/stay far away." There's no player choice to let them see for themselves what will and won't harm them.
Will there ever be a system to allow players to select their own skins?
KS rewards included some skins (friends and I will have the black dragon skin); the big question is, will non-random skins ever be something considered? It'd be super neat to be able to unlock different patterns and colors and be able to select them. It's always fun in games to show off your achievements, like, hey, I did this really difficult thing and got a striped skin pattern and blue color pallet! Check me out!
Unlockable skins and color pallets from doing difficult tasks might also have the same effect as a colorful animal in nature, actually: someone sees an adult of a species they'd normally try to tussle with, but notice they have a skin for something combat-related. It might make them think twice about challenging them.
Will dragons be able to pick up eggs?
Since some seem to be able to feed off of eggs, will picking them up (fertilized or unfertilized) ever be considered? Imagine being the parents of a fertilized clutch about to hatch, when suddenly one gets stolen and you have to either make the choice of leaving the nest unguarded to save the single egg, or go after the egg thief. Also, being able to pick up eggs as a parent would be interesting if your dragon lives a nomadic lifestyle.
Have any wingless or eastern-type dragon concepts been considered?
We have wyverns, multi-winged, and traditional western dragons unveiled so far; we know behemoths will be flightless. Are eastern dragons something that are being considered? Or simply long, noodly, wingless dragons? Could be neat to try to live as a terrestrial creature instead of something more nimble that can take to the air!

Stability of Cement Grout: Study of Sedimentation Phenomena
Appl. Rheol. 12:1 (2002) 12-17 ►
The grouts are suspensions containing cement used in the technique of prestressing by post-tension. Cement, from its chemical nature, protects the wire ropes (strands) from corrosion. To be able to play correctly this protective role, the grout must remain homogeneous and must entirely cover the strands. The lack of stability of the grouts, which results in packing or sedimentation, is a major problem. In this article, we try to correlate the rheological properties of the grout with its capacity to remain homogeneous. We show that an increase in the concentration of superplasticizer, a polymer solution, decreases the thixotropic behavior of the grout, but on the other hand, increases the effects of sedimentation. We explain this phenomenon by the modification of the structure of a three-dimensional network in relation to the interparticle interactions.► Cite this publication as follows:

The companies are also working to bring a joint fuel-cell electric propulsion system to the market
July 21, 2022
Hyundai and Rolls-Royce have announced they will work together to bring all-electric propulsion and fuel cell tech to air taxis of the future.
The Korean automaker and British aviation company – a separate entity from the manufacturer of ultra-luxury cars with the same name – have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to collaborate in the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) and Regional Air Mobility (RAM) markets.
The partnership was announced at the Farnborough Air Show in Hampshire, England with the MOU detailing several key aims, including collaboration on the development of power and propulsion systems for Hyundai's Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) division; collaboration on the industrialization of Rolls-Royce power and propulsion systems for the AAM market; and development of electric propulsion systems based on hydrogen fuel cells as an energy source for Hyundai's RAM platforms.
Like what you're reading? For more stories like this on emerging technologies, sign up for our free daily email newsletter to stay updated!
Perhaps the most intriguing element, however, is the intention to bring a joint fuel-cell electric propulsion system to the wider AAM market, with a commitment to demo an aircraft featuring the tech by 2025.
Using a hydrogen fuel cell system in an all-electric aircraft propulsion system holds appeal because it is a zero emission, and silent on-board power source that enables scalability and delivers long-distance flight range.
Hyundai has been one of the major advocates of hydrogen fuel cell tech in the automotive world and in 2013 was the first automaker to mass produce a fuel cell electric vehicle with the ix35 FCEV, also known as the Tucson FCEV in some countries. It currently offers the Nexo fuel cell SUV in selected markets.
It has made no secret of its desire to become a major player in AAM, and earlier this year confirmed that a mammoth $5 billion investment in the U.S. would include additional research in this area.
In addition, at the Farnborough show the group's air mobility company Supernal showed off an eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) concept that was clearly influenced by automotive design. Supernal is aiming to launch commercial services for UAM businesses in U.S. cities by 2028.
"We are pleased to partner with Rolls-Royce to draw upon their aviation and certification expertise," said Jaiwon Shin, Hyundai Motor Group president. "Hyundai has successfully delivered hydrogen fuel cell systems to the global automotive market and is now exploring the feasibility of electric and hydrogen propulsion technologies for aerospace integration. We believe this to be the key technology to support the global aviation industry's goal to fly net zero carbon by 2050."
"This collaboration supports our joint ambitions to lead the way in the Advanced Air Mobility market," said Rob Watson, president of Rolls-Royce Electrical. "It is also another demonstration of Rolls-Royce's role in delivering the solutions that will enable passengers to travel sustainably and help deliver net zero carbon by 2050."
Meanwhile, Hyundai has also agreed to an MOU with French aircraft equipment manufacturer Safran to identify and explore further opportunities in the AAM industry.

Cuckfield CC round-up: Haywards men lose to reigning champions
Cuckfield skipper, Josh Hayward, won the toss and elected to bowl first. An early wicket for Nick Patterson gave the home side hope, but Darryl Rebbetts and Leo Cammish built a steady partnership, frustrating the Cuckfield bowlers.
Having built a partnership of 105 Rebbetts (42) was stumped swinging at a wide delivery from Greg Wisdom. Ollie Graham joined Cammish and the scoring rate started to increase - the pair putting on 67 before Cammish was bowled by Hayward for a well made 88. Ian Stumer came out to pinch hit and plundered 34 off 14 balls before not quite getting hold of one and gifting Patterson his second wicket, caught cleanly by Ben Caidan. EG completed their 46 overs with 237 for 4.

They made a partnership of 70 before Meboroh-Collinson was bowled by Rebbetts for 39. Caidan joined Galbraith-Gibbons and the young duo batted well together, but the required run rate continued to rise. Galbraith Gibbons was caught and bowled by Ollie graham for 39 and as Caidan looked to up the scoring rate was caught of Rebbetts for 41 as Cuckfield were bowled out for 166 in the 43rd over.

Defined as the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties, resiliency is being discussed a lot right now as more companies put extra effort into shoring up their supply chains and ensuring that those networks remain viable. Achieving this goal will be particularly important in the post-COVID world, when companies try to avoid repeating mistakes while at the same time establishing stronger, more resilient supply chains.
According to Accenture, 94% of Fortune 1000 companies are experiencing supply chain disruptions due to the pandemic. "The COVID-19 pandemic has lifted the veil off supply chains and shown that they aren't soulless assembly lines of automatons that move things from here to there," Jenny Ahlen writes in Forbes. "They're complex, connected, and powered by people, and for every product shortage or plant closure caused by disruption to the supply chain, there are hundreds or thousands of workers whose livelihoods – and often their health – are at immediate risk. Plus, trillions lost in global revenue."
Not Business as Usual
Acknowledging that pandemics aren't the only risk to the world's supply chains, Ahlen says multiple external factors can disrupt business-as-usual. Climate change, higher temperatures, increased drought, more frequent natural disasters, rising seas, and shifting crop yields have all been impacting businesses across the globe.
These and other outside forces are pushing companies to reevaluate and rethink the resilience of their supply chains. "Supply chain visibility is key, because without it," she writes, "companies can't anticipate future disruptions and plan accordingly." Along with focusing on higher levels of supply chain visibility, companies can also improve resiliency by:
- Leveraging analytics, metrics, and reporting tools. Analytics can help organizations identify risks and demand fluctuations and respond to them appropriately. "In other words, it can be an important tool in a company's supply chain resilience arsenal," TechTarget points out, "something many leaders understood but did not carry out pre-pandemic." Here at DB Schenker, we use a combination of analytics and reporting that enable high levels of visibility for our customers. "This, in turn, helps them make more informed decisions regarding their shipments," said Daniel Bergman, CCO of DB Schenker Americas, "serve their customers better, and gain overall higher levels of supply chain resilience."
- Shifting sourcing strategies. New approaches to sourcing are critical to building post-pandemic supply chain resilience. Pre-pandemic, for example, the pressure to reduce costs induced many providers to rely heavily on just-in-time supply chains and keep fewer reserves. That's since changed. "In the short run, companies will likely focus on creating safety stocks of key supplies as the world wakes up to the fragility of global supply chains," TechTarget states. "This involves creating strategic reserves and promoting local pooling to pivot towards maintaining safety stocks of key supplies."
- Getting everyone working from the same playbook. According to Supply & Demand Chain Executive, connecting supply chain partners and digitizing information to generate a single version of the truth helps ensure a coordinated supply chain response. "The need for connectivity across all supply chain partners is so they can share data across the network and leverage embedded collaboration tools to improve decision making," SDC "Effective collaboration with partners is critical to supply chain resiliency."
- Automating repetitive tasks. Automation has been making its way into the world's plants, warehouses, and distribution centers for the last few years. The global pandemic and the new socially-distanced workplace requirements could accelerate that trend. Robotic process automation (RPA), for example, can automate tasks and enable greater responsiveness, which in turn boosts supply chain resilience. "RPA software can work through the high volume of cancellations and increase response time," TechTarget notes, "which frees up human workers to deal with other critical tasks."
- Learning from past mistakes. The most resilient enterprises view every challenge as an opportunity to learn. They investigate every mistake, from quality mishaps to missed deliveries, to identify and eliminate core causes. "These companies also anticipate potential errors and craft recovery plans well in advance," SDC points out. "This discipline ensures that when an unpredictable disruption occurs, the company is prepared to employ a contingency plan, early, and ease the potential impact."
Difficult, But Worth it
Supply chain management is intricate work, even during the best of times. Add a global pandemic and a recession to the mix and the complexities become even more difficult to overcome. "However, through discipline, hard work, and robust planning, businesses can overcome this time of great uncertainty," SDC advises, "and set themselves up to be flexible and resilient to any disruptions the market might present."

Accidents can happen to anyone and anywhere. Unfortunately, they are a thing even at work, which is very sad – during that time we should take care of our safety more than usual. But, if it has happened to you or your loved ones, especially for the first time, you might feel lost. Plenty of people have no idea what to do, and they don't even realize that hiring a personal injury attorney is the very first thing that they should go for. Are you wondering why? This article will resolve your doubts.
You will get the maximum
Filling a personal injury lawsuit is a daunting task, especially if you don't have much knowledge about the legal system (and frankly, very few people do). Now, you are almost certainly thinking about the costs and fees, and how it's not going to be profitable for you. It's true that their services cost quite some, but think about the positives – they will be able to get you the highest compensation possible because they know how to do it – it's their bread and butter.
There is plenty of space to make mistakes, and if you do certain things wrong, you might not even be able to get any compensation at all. Also, oftentimes it's value will be significantly lowered. Insurance companies will make sure it is, that's how they earn money after all. A personal injury attorney will have your back and will do everything they possibly can to maximize your compensation and help you against sneaky practices of insurance companies that are just waiting for your mistakes.
You might also be wondering, why would they care about my case? We previously mentioned the fees, and you have to know that injury attorneys will get paid for your case, but only if it's won. If they aren't able to get your compensation, you don't have to pay for their services at all. Such a deal is a guarantee that your case won't be neglected, and lawyers will do everything they possibly can to get you what you deserve. After all, this is also in their interest. Las Vegas injury attorney emphasizes the fact that people who use injury lawyer services are statistically much more likely to win.
Making sure that you get compensated for the injury is very time-consuming. You will have to take care of plenty of things. Requesting medical records requires a lot of time – you will certainly waste long hours. Also, you have to be constantly in touch with the insurance adjuster, and you will be asked to fill various forms all the time. This is something unpleasant that nobody would like to do. Besides, your other obligations will still be there. It might turn out that the accident itself was a horrible experience, but what was next is even worse. Let the professionals take care of your case and save yourself a lot of time.
When you are in pain, the only thing that you should be thinking about is your health. It's not easy to live after an accident, and fighting with insurance companies is likely the last thing that you'd like to do. It's a stressful experience, especially if it's the first time something like that has happened to you. Also, not being aware of the personal injury process makes everything even more stressful. Do yourself a favour and just take care of yourself. Stress will slow down your recovery, and you should be thinking of coming back to work as soon as possible. The insurance amount can be high, but once you realize how nerve-wracking experience it is to fight for compensation, you'll come to the conclusion that just being at work is so much better.
There is only one more stressful thing than being at trial – it's waiting for it. You'll likely make visualizations about how it looks, what to say in order to ensure that you get compensated etc. And one thing is sure – you will be stressed out just by thinking about it. When a personal injury attorney represents you, you have no reason to worry about it. They will know what to say in order to win your case. And you'll have an opportunity to stay at home, knowing that professionals are making sure that you get what you deserve.
Hiring a personal injury lawyer has many benefits – you will save time and nerves. On top of that, you maximize the chance of winning your case and minimize the possibility of making mistakes. It's always better to have someone experienced by your side; they will support you all the time. One thing is sure – personal injury attorney service is definitely worth the money.

there is a problen with chip W5500. It works good but unpredictably it goes to "bad state" - chip is very hot and it has a high current consumption.
In bad state chip stays until power supply is switched off. By deeper exploration, I have come to the conclusion that there is no need to turn off all power. It is sufficient to shut down the AVDD power supply (pins 4, 8, 15, 17, 21) and it is not necessary to shut down the VDD (pin 28).
W5500 does not going out from bad state even by external reset (pin 37) or by PHY reset (through PHYCFGR) or S/W reset (through MR).
In normal state the external reset, PHY reset and S/W reset is functional (I have verified this for example by changing speed, duplex, etc).
W5500 behaviour in bad state:
- case temperature of W5500 is about 100 degrees Celsius (at ambient temperature 25)
- current to pins 4, 8, 15, 17, 21 (AVDD) is in summary around 700mA
- SPI communication with STM32L071 is OK (I can read/write W5500 registers)
- sometimes LINK LED blinks, but connection to LAN is immposible
It is not a problem with just one chip, but it has become a few chips (10 pcs) of about 100 pieces that are in operation.
I have made several changes to the W5500 operating setting and it seems that these changes have helped and accidents are no longer over (set 10Mb, half duplex, wait states within PHY reset).
But when the chip is in bad state, I don't know how to set it to normal state.
Why does only power off work?
What could be the cause of this bad state?
Thanks, Jan

This project aims to understand the relationship between media revenue models and the incentives to create high quality content. We plan to conduct an observational analysis that studies how newspaper content quality changes following the introduction or removal of a paywall. Our primary dataset consists of daily newspaper article data that has been collected from approximately 3,000 publishers in the United States. We will match a set of treated publishers that have recently introduced a paywall, including large publishers such as Fortune and Slate, to control publishers who do not require a subscription and are advertiser supported. We will use Twitter data as an outcome measure of quality. In particular, we plan to augment Gentzkow & Shapiro 2010 with politicians' tweets rather than congressional speeches.

You may now see potential opportunity in a diamond investment. If you are one those people that had a portfolio consisted of traditional financial products such as shares, we know that you suffered losses during the last financial crisis. Investing in diamonds could be the alternative that you were searching for to safeguard your portfolio from adverse financial developments. By the end of this article, we are certain that you will be looking for more information on this valuable asset.
Polished diamond prices vary widely depending on a diamond's carat, colour, clarity and cut, sometimes referred to as the 4 Cs. In contrast to precious metals, there is no universal world price per gram for diamonds. The industry refers to price guides such as the Rapaport Diamond Report, the Troy Diamond Report, PriceScope. Global trends are affecting the prices of diamonds. The biggest markets are the United States with about 50% of the market, China and India. Larger diamonds have been better appreciated than smaller ones since 2008.
Selecting the appropriate investment-grade diamond, several factors should be taken into consideration. Among them are:
• Investment grade diamonds become more precious and valuable over time
• Budget of the buyer for guidance to the suitable type of diamond (rarity, ease of liquidity, etc.)
• Buyer has the option of selecting investment-grade diamonds with serial numbers
• Desired duration and purpose of investment
While we have gone beyond the 29 factors affecting the overall value of a gem, the 4C's are the quintessential metrics when evaluating a diamond, and each investor should understand each of these elements thoroughly. One of the first things that come to mind when discussing a diamond's worth is its weight in carats. Officially, 1 metric carat equates to 200 milligrams and can be subdivided into 100 "points" allowing for grater measurement precision. The greater the weight of the diamond the higher its price will be.
On the other hand, the quality of coloured diamonds is measured in terms of purity of colour. For example, a pure red diamond with a slightly coloured tint will have a higher value than a black diamond. Sometimes, colour level distinctions can be very subtle and almost invisible to an untrained eye, but they play an important role in assessing the quality and value of the diamond. During their formation diamonds usually acquire internal and external characteristics that define the way they look; these are called "inclusions" and "blemishes" respectfully. In order for a diamond to be deemed "clear," such characteristics need to be absent. The stones are evaluated by determining the nature, size, position, and number of these impurities. The final of the 4Cs is often mistaken for the shape of the stone, but in fact a diamond's cut grade defines how well its facets interact with light. This is what adds a distinctive shine and sparkle to diamonds. It's probably the hardest to evaluate.
Having this information in mind, you are now able to judge if you would like to add an investment in diamonds in your portfolio. Having a diverse portfolio is useful and safeguards your investment strategies so if you are able to give the right amount of money in diamonds, go for it!

When we were contacted by Imalent, asking if we'd like to review the MS18, a smile appeared on my face. I knew the brand, and the MS18 flashlight, from various forums, subreddits, and YouTube videos, where people were demoing its incredible brightness.
And now, thanks to the kind people from Imalent, I, too, was able to get my hands on the brightest flashlight in existence.
The Imalent MS18 is a monster. It's big, it's heavy, and it pushes the boundaries of LED and battery technologies. While its dimensions aren't exactly compact, it's still remarkable how the engineers from Imalent were able to pack so much power into a hand-held torch. This definitely required ingenious engineering. After all, there's no other manufacturer that makes a 100,000 lumens flashlight.
I've had this flashlight for a while now and used it both in everyday situations, and to impress my friends. Every single one of them was flabbergasted when they saw it in action. With time, and on a word-of-mouth basis, more and more friends have requested to see it.
So, let's dig in to the MS18, and find out what makes it so special.
In This Article
- What's in the Box
- Main Features and Technical Specifications
- Output Modes, Lumens, Runtimes
- The Beam
- The MS18 in Detail
- Operation / User Interface
- Uses For The MS18
- Warranty
- Conclusion
What's in the Box
The box itself is made out of strong cardboard and has a faux leather finish. It has a sturdy carry handle, and it closes with two metal clasps.
Apparently, the earlier versions of the box had a magnetic closure, then they were upgraded to a single clasp, and the current versions come with two clasps. This upgrade was introduced after some customers reported that they didn't feel confident carrying the flashlight with such a flimsy closure. I haven't seen the previous versions, but the current version is definitely very robust, and the clasps hold the carry box firmly closed.
The box itself contains:
- Imalent MS18 flashlight
- Charger
- Two spare O-rings
- Shoulder strap
- User manual
Main Features and Technical Specifications
Let's list all the main features before we go into more detail:
- 18 American CREE XHP70 (2nd Gen) LEDs, with a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours, and a maximum output of 100,000 lumens (throw distance 4,430 ft / 1,350 m)
- Battery pack with eight (8) 21,700 high-performance lithium-ion cells (32,000 mAh)
- OLED info display
- Switch indicator light
- 8 output modes + strobe
- Memory mode function (it will always turn on in the same mode as it was turned off)
- Integrated self-testing, intelligent charging circuit, for fast and safe charging
- High-efficiency circuit for maintaining constant current supply (no flickering)
- Thermal control system (copper heat pipe radiator) that adjusts the brightness output to keep the temperature at a safe operating level
- Ultra-clear mineral glass, and anti-reflective coating
- Multi-parabular reflector with OP (Orange Peel) treatment
- Aerospace-grade aluminum alloy body, with Type III hard-anodized surface treatment
- Impact resistance up to 4,9 ft / 1,5 m
- Dimensions: Length: 10.4 in / 26,5 cm; Head diameter: 5 in / 12.9 cm; Body diameter: 2.3 in / 5.9 cm
- Weight: 4.18 lbs / 1.9 kg
- IP rating (intrusion and moisture protection): IP56
- Can tail stand
Output Modes, Lumens, Runtimes
The MS18 has 8 output modes, as well as a strobe function.
- Low: 700 lumens, runtime 14 h 52 m
- Middle Low: 2,000 lumens, runtime 9 h 15 m
- Middle I: 5,000 lumens, runtime 6 h 50 m
- Middle II: 10,000 lumens, runtime 3 h 40 m
- High I: 22,000 lumens, runtime 67 min
- High II: 30,000 – 25,000 lumens, runtime 3,8 min + 60 min
- High III: 60,000 – 25,000 lumens, runtime 70 sec + 55 min
- Turbo: 100,000 – 25,000 lumens, runtime 60 sec + 52 min
At the max output of 100,000 lumens, the throw distance is an impressive 4,430 feet / 1,350 meters!

If you're new to high-performance flashlights, you may wonder why there are different lumen and runtime values starting at the "High II" output mode. That's because high-performance flashlights get very hot, near or at their maximum outputs, so they need to drop the output power, after a certain amount of time, to cool down. Failing to do so could result in a damaged flashlight and burned hands.
It's worth noting that some reviewers who specialize in flashlight reviews and possess high-end lux meters for measuring actual vs. declared outputs, have noticed some discrepancies. The discrepancies range from approximately +20% to -20% actual values, compared to declared values. But that's to be expected with all high-performance flashlights, with some faring better, and some faring worse.
Discrepancies or not, the outputs are mind-blowingly impressive. The MS18 is optimized for providing ultra-bright light for a long period (25,000 lumens for a full hour). If that's not enough, you can plug in the charger (if on a worksite, for example), and it will continue to shine for several more hours (note that the flashlight drains more power than the charger can provide).
The Beam
Let's jump straight to the beam before we cover anything else. After all, this is what we're most interested in.
My version has a cool white beam color, but there's also a warm white version available. If you happen to own an MS18, and you're not sure which version you have, just check the tailcap. The "warm white" version has an extra "W" next to the model number. Mine doesn't, so it's a "cool white" version.
The head of the flashlight is massive and contains 18 CREE XHP70.2 (2nd Gen) LEDs. The reflector is multi-parabolic and has an orange peel (OP) finish. The OP finish, compared to the smooth reflector finish, is bumpy, and grainy looking.
This type of reflector helps to disseminate the beam, allowing the light to spread wider. And indeed, the MS18's beam is very wide, with the central area being the brightest.
To make sure that nothing obstructs the light, Imalent uses an ultra-clear mineral glass, with an anti-reflective coating.
The max output is, as already mentioned a few times, 100,000 lumens, but you'll be able to enjoy it for only about a minute before it drops down a notch, and eventually to 25,000 lumens. Still, that's about as many as 6 to 12 car headlights on full beam (the max output of 100,000 lumens is equal to about 25 to 50 car headlights on full beam).
All this power needs some serious cooling. The cooling fan will kick in at 22,000 lumens and higher modes, but more about that later.
For now, check out this video that I recorded while using the flashlight in various locations.
The MS18 in Detail
Overall Design
The build quality of the MS18 is exceptionally good. The whole flashlight is finely machined, and it can easily match the superb quality of some of their (maybe better known) competitors, such as Olight and Fenix.
For such a big flashlight, it made sense to use an aerospace-grade aluminum alloy, with type III hard-anodized surface treatment. This type of aluminum is not only stronger than most types of steel, but it's also much lighter. The hard-anodized finish creates a nice matt black look, makes the flashlight scratch-resistant, and improves its overall durability.
The knurling pattern on the body is shaped into squares, with horizontal and vertical grooves between them. Some have suggested that they may also serve as cooling fins, but they seem to be too shallow for that.
Holding the flashlight feels comfortable, even after a longer period, but I do wish that the handle was a bit more grippy. Nevertheless, the MS18 is designed for professional settings, and it would most likely be used with grippy gloves. Also, when it is attached to the shoulder strap that came with it, you don't need to hold the flashlight tightly. Another thing that helps is how well balanced it is.
The flashlight is IP56 rated, and it has an impact resistance of 4.9 ft / 1.5 m. That's very impressive for such a big flashlight. There are much smaller, feather-light flashlights that can't survive a drop like that. The IP56 rating means that it's not dust-tight, but it is dust-protected. Imalent could not make it dust-tight, simply due to the need for cooling fans. However, the flashlight can easily withstand heavy rain and "direct high pressure jets."
The MS18 can be disassembled into two parts – the head and the body.
The Body / Battery
The body contains eight (8) 21,700 high-performance lithium-ion batteries with an approximate capacity of 32,000 mAh (115.2 Wh). The included 19V, 2.0A (38W) charger will charge up the battery in about 4 hours and 30 minutes.
The battery has a self-testing, intelligent charging circuit, which makes the charging process safe and efficient. The battery stays quite cool during charging – I never noticed any overheating.
On the tail of the battery, you will find the charging port hidden under the aluminum cover (it also doubles as a connection point for the shoulder strap), which you need to unscrew to access the port.
The red LED light is turned on while the battery is charging, and the green LED light will turn on when charging is complete.
Also, you can check the battery voltage at any time on the OLED screen. When fully charged, the screen will display 16.54 volts, and when the voltage drops to 11.6 volts or below, a blinking battery notification will appear, telling you to charge it up again.
The threads for the head of the flashlight are very well lubricated, and you won't need to re-lubricate them any time soon.
The Head
Since the body is basically just a giant battery, everything else is contained in the head of the flashlight.
We've already covered the reflector itself, so let's look at what else is there.
Thermal Control System / Copper Heat Pipe Radiator
The thermal control system is an active cooling system that utilizes copper heat pipes (which are filled with an undisclosed fluid), two fans, and copper heat sinks.
The fans are activated once you select the "High I" mode, or when the temperature reaches 158 °F / 70 °C. The fans start loud, and they get even louder as the lamp builds up heat. The head can get extremely hot, and it will easily burn your skin upon touching, so you need to be very careful.
If you put your hand close enough to the fans, you'll feel how one fan sucks the cool air in, and the other blows the hot air out. The fans are, as mentioned, quite loud, and at first, scary sounding. But passive cooling could never provide enough temperature dissipation with so much energy being released.
OLED Screen
The small OLED screen will display the following info:
- The lumen output and the battery voltage (these two values are interchanged every two seconds)
- Low battery warning
- "Fan only" mode (when activated)
- Lock / Unlock mode (open or closed padlock icon)
Since there are no commas between the lumen numbers, it's sometimes difficult to read which output is active, when you take a quick look.
Switch Indicator Light
This little light, that helps you locate the power switch, can be turned on when the flashlight is off, by pressing and holding the power switch for 2 seconds.
If you forget to turn it off, it will switch off automatically after 3 hours.
Apparently, the indicator light wasn't present on earlier models, but it was added after Imalent reviewed the user feedback.
Power Switch
The power switch is the only thing on this flashlight that I'm not that impressed with. It's made out of metal, but for whatever reason, it's quite flimsy, and the tactile feedback feels a bit cheap.
I know that this can be done better because I own several flashlights—among them a $30 keychain flashlight—which have perfectly solid power switches.
I'm sure that this will be sorted out for the next generation of MS18s, as Imalent takes user feedback seriously, and I'm sure that I'm not the only one who feels this way about the power switch.
The bezel is mainly there to protect the ultra-clear glass. But in an emergency (to break a car window, for example) it would work like any other bezel.
Double Copper Spring
The back of the head has a short and thick copper spring, which is needed to handle all the power from the mega battery. A good spring will minimize the resistance as much as possible, conserve the power from the battery, and always return to its original length. Springs don't look important, but they are, and I'm sure that Imalent spent a lot of time perfecting this one.
Operation / User Interface
The MS18 is operated with a single switch. Here's how it works:
From "Off" mode:
- Single press to turn the flashlight on (it will turn on in the last mode that you used it in, excluding Strobe)
- Press and hold the switch for 2 seconds to turn on the switch indicator light
- Triple press to show the battery voltage
- Press 4x to activate the fan (if you need to cool down the flashlight quickly, which is recommended if you've been using it for a prolonged time)
- Press 5x to lock/unlock the flashlight (I recommend that you always keep it in locked mode when not in use)
From "On" mode:
- Press and hold to cycle through 7 brightness levels. There's no way to cycle down, though. If you're on "Middle I" mode (5,000 lumens), for example, and you want to go down a notch, you can't. You have to go all the way up to 60,000 lumens before you are returned to the first mode (Low, 700 lumens). From there you need to work your way up again
- Double tap for Turbo
- When in Turbo, double-tap to enter Strobe. The strobe works at 100,000 lumens, so be extremely careful with it
As mentioned earlier, you can also use the flashlight while charging. This is a great feature that will come in handy on work sites.
Uses For The MS18
This flashlight produces more power than any other portable lighting device. It's perfect for:
- Search and rescue on land and water
- Surveying of disaster sites
- Checking river embankments or dams, during the night
- Useful for cargo ships in the middle of the ocean
- Fishing and hunting
- Military operations
- Construction sites
- Mountaineering
- Cave exploration
- Emergency power during power outages
- Self-defense
If you're in a life and death situation, you can even use it to light a fire.
The MS18 is (relatively speaking) an expensive flashlight ($669.95 at the time of this writing), so it's very reassuring that it comes with a 5-year warranty! That's just another testament to its quality. The customer service is also friendly, and quick to respond.
The MS18 is a jaw-dropping flashlight. Everything about it is special. It's big, it's powerful, and it's made to withstand the harshest conditions.
Every single friend or family member who saw this flashlight in action was stunned. Some still ask me to bring it out at night—to create daylight. After all, the "Tame The Sun" slogan isn't there without reason.
But the MS18 wasn't just made to show what is technologically possible, or to impress your friends (although, that's a good use for it, too) – it was made with professionals in mind. There are many lines of work that will welcome a powerful and portable torch like this.
So, if you're looking for a 100,000-lumen flashlight, there's no other than the Imalent MS18.

Online shopping has drastically risen in popularity in the past year. This surge of online shoppers has contributed to a substantial increase in the amount of packaging waste being produced, something that everyone is becoming increasingly concerned about.
Packaging waste has a huge impact on both air and water pollution, and with around 80 million tons of packaging being wasted every year, something needs to be done to protect the health of humans, animals and of course, the planet.
Sustainable product packaging supplies are the solution to this issue – allowing businesses to innovate their product packaging offering to be more in line with environmentally-conscious practices.
What is sustainable packaging?
Sustainable packaging is a form of packaging that is designed to be less harmful to the environment. From the materials used to the manufacturing process, it must meet the below criteria to be considered sustainable:
- Meet the market needs for both cost and performance
- Be safe for individuals for the entirety of its life
- Utilise either renewable or recyclable materials
- Manufactured using clean production technologies
- Optimise the use of energy and materials in the production process
- Made from materials that are healthy for people throughout its lifecycle
- Be able to be recovered and utilised in biological loop-cycles.
By following the above practices, you can ensure you're using sustainable product packaging supplies for your ecommerce brand.
The importance of sustainable packaging for brands
Sustainable packaging is important for a wide variety of reasons, the main one being that it works towards protecting the planet and the environment. From a business perspective, there are more factors to consider.
For example, consumers are now becoming increasingly diligent about sustainability. Therefore, using eco-friendly product packaging supplies can help you to appeal to a wider customer base. In turn, this can help to generate more revenue.
Companies have a lot to gain from applying sustainable practices to their business operations – in particular, it can reduce their environmental footprint while meeting end user demands.
With 61% of consumers saying they'd switch over to a business that was more environmentally-friendly, it can be a strategic approach that ticks multiple boxes.
Consider all the materials that go into packaging
There are 5 major types of retail product packaging supplies. These include:
- Plastic alternatives
- Recyclable materials
- Reusable materials
- Biodegradable and compostable materials
- Edible materials
Often, brands will focus on one aspect of their product packaging, ensuring it meets the criteria for sustainability. However, you should consider using sustainable supplies throughout your entire product packaging.
For example, you should consider materials such as paper, card and even ribbon, all of which can be sourced and created sustainably.
Tom Ford retail bags are a perfect example. The bags are constructed using non-laminated paper, fitted with woven paper handles so at end of life are fully recyclable. In fact, paper packaging has seen a resurgence in recent years due to the sheer ease of recycling it.
Brands should also consider the role of ink in sustainable packaging. While traditional ink emits Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), eco-friendly inks do nothing of the sort. There are four main types of sustainable ink:
- UV ink – this 100% solid system ink solution doesn't contain solvents that evaporate during the curing phase.
- Soy-based ink – this type of ink is made from soybeans as opposed to petroleum and makes it easier to recycle paper.
- Eco-solvent ink – this is a non-water based ink that doesn't contain harmful solvents or VOCs.
- Water-based ink - this is a type of ink that uses water as a solvent base to carry the pigment.
With all these sustainable sources available, there are now more ways than ever to make your packaging more sustainable.
FSC materials
Of course, FSC materials play a huge role in product packaging supplies. Using FSC certified materials ensures that you're developing ethically-sourced packaging and reassures your customers that you're taking the necessary steps towards achieving more sustainable practices.
We worked with Net-A-Porter to develop 100% recyclable gifting boxes and retail bags that took advantage of FSC materials and modified box structures to ensure more efficient shipping.
While the packaging utilised this sustainable approach, it still delivered a positive unboxing experience for customers and stayed true to the high-quality and luxurious offering that is provided by Net-A-Porter.
Sustainable packaging is the future of ecommerce
Are you looking to introduce more sustainable practices to your product packaging offering? If so, contact the team at Delta Global today. With our years of experience helping businesses of all shapes and sizes, we can work closely with you to help you achieve your sustainability business goals.

text: Top 5 Myths For Buying Diamond Engagement Rings Debunked Author Lynelle Schmidt Share Facebook Share on Facebook Email Email Date Sep 2, 2014 Engagement Top 5 Myths For Buying Diamond Engagement Rings Debunked When it's time to pop the question, it probably seems like everyone around you has their own opinion about the type of engagement ring you should buy. They also don't hesitate to offer advice that will make things "easier" when buying the ring. But, from over 130 years in the business, we can tell you that many of the things you will hear about buying diamond engagement rings are actually completely false! When it comes to buying an engagement ring, there are no rigid rules in place to get it right. Here are the 5 most common myths for buying engagement rings that we've heard: Myth #1: The ring has to be two or three month's salary This is by far the most misunderstood part of buying an engagement ring. I'm sure by now you have heard that a good rule of thumb is to spend around two to three month's salary on the ring. However, this is an arbitrary number that was created decades ago by the De Beers company to increase consumers' budgets and grow the diamond industry. Today, there is no reason that anyone should feel the need to follow this rule of thumb. Buying an engagement ring is about your budget and what you can afford. There is no magic number that will be a one-size-fits-all answer to how much any one person should pay. Beautiful, quality diamond rings can range in price dramatically. You can spend under $1,500 for a 1/2 carat, classic solitaire ring or spend over six figures for a 5 carat stunner that would fit right in on the red carpet. Forget this outdated tradition and figure out a budget that will work for you. Myth #2: The bigger the diamond the better It's very common for people to think that all women want a huge diamond on their finger. In a culture where bigger is seen as better, it's not surprising that big diamond rings seem more appealing. There's also this outdated notion that the bigger the ring, the more the man loves the woman. Believe it or not, not all women want a huge diamond ring. Some women prefer the look and appeal of a smaller, more quaint ring. And, many jobs don't allow you to wear big diamond rings. If she is a nurse, for example, she often is not allowed to wear such a large ring when working with patients. It needs to be practical based on the woman's lifestyle. When it comes to buying diamond rings, it's really about the quality as well as the size. You can have a beautifully cut 1/2 carat diamond that radiates light and has a great sparkle for the same price as you might have a larger diamond that isn't cut as well and appears duller. If you are tight on budget but want to feel good about your purchase, you're better off going for a smaller, better cut diamond than a larger, duller one. Myth #3: Recycled diamonds are bad luck Diamonds hold their value very well, so it's not uncommon for people to sell back the diamonds in their old engagement rings to jewelers. The reason for the sell back could be for a number of reasons, including divorce. Many people feel as though buying a "recycled" diamond in this circumstance would curse their future marriage. However, we know plenty of happily married couples who have bought a recycled diamond who have also had long, healthy marriages. We promise that the previous story behind a recycled diamond has no impact on how your relationship will play out in the future. And, it's a great way to save a little extra money if you already have the stone in your possession. Myth #4: You should never shop with your significant other We have customers shopping all the time with their significant others for their engagement rings, and we feel that it doesn't make the process any less romantic. It's considered tradition for the man to shop for the ring and surprise the woman. But, people are much more practical today, and there are some major advantages that come along with bringing your significant with you before blindly choosing a ring. For one, you know exactly what she wants, and you don't have to worry about disappointing her (although with Long's Get It Right Guarantee, that would never happen). There's enough stress that surrounds an engagement. The last thing you want to worry about it getting the ring of her dreams. Shopping with your significant other not only allows her to pick out exactly what she wants, but also gives you the chance to talk about budget. An engagement ring is a major purchase. Once you propose, there are many more expenses to come with the wedding. The last thing you want to do is put yourself in debt because you overspent on the ring. By going together and discussing your finances before splurging on the ring, you can be certain that you are spending an amount that you are both comfortable with. Also, just because the engagement ring may not be a surprise, doesn't meant the proposal can't be! Myth #5: Yellow gold rings are outdated Yes, yellow gold engagement rings were definitely an extremely popular metal of choice years ago. However, vintage jewelry is also very popular right now, and yellow gold jewelry is considered unique and different from the regular white metal look. Pairing a perfectly clear diamond with a yellow gold band makes the diamond really pop and gives the entire ring a classic appearance. There are definitely advantages for choosing a platinum metal band over a gold band. But yellow gold is a very much still in style for engagement rings.

November 2020 saw NATA accreditation transition to ISO/IEC 17025:2017
November 2020 saw NATA accreditation transition to ISO/IEC 17025:2017.
While the majority of labs have already made alterations to their processes, we did a review of the changes in the new version.
Many organisations base their business decisions on information and results provided by laboratories. It is critical that the sampling, testing and calibration activities carried out by these laboratories are valid.
The ISO/IEC 17025 Standard promotes confidence in the ability of an accredited laboratory to provide consistent and technically valid results. A laboratory management system assists labs in the control of quality, administrative and technical activities. Since the 2017 version incorporates principles of ISO 9001, this means that there is now a much more risk based process approach in the laboratory. Labs must identify, select and address risks and opportunities. This will ensure business and quality objectives are being met.
The value of this is that the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 are more performance based. This affords the laboratory more flexibility in implementation. It also reduces the amount of mandatory documentation. However, it's crucial that laboratories understand the purpose of each requirement. They can use this to develop a risk-based approach to managing their activities.
This is not an exhaustive examination of the Standard and its clauses but will provide a concise overview of the changes in the 2017 version.
In a nutshell
The most important areas of change are:
- Risk based thinking
- The decision rule
- Sampling is included as a laboratory activity
- Focus on impartiality
- Additional methods of quality assurance
- Added requirements to the complaints process
- Consideration of IT and electronic-based systems
- Reference materials and consumables included as equipment
- Ensuring the competence of external providers
- Two options for recognition of the management system
In addition there are:
- Fewer mandatory procedures
- New requirements for the lab to take actions to address risks and opportunities.
The changes
Structural change
The two main clauses 4 and 5 of the previous version (Management and Technical Requirements) have been revised into the process approach favoured by ISO across five clauses (4 to 8).
There are two Annexes, one on Metrological Traceability and the other an explanation on the options to integrate an ISO 9001 management system.
ISO/IEC 17025 changes Clauses 4, 5, and 8 contain most of the Management Requirements from the 2005 standard.
General Requirements, particularly impartiality and confidentiality are in Clause 4.
Structural Requirements, i.e. the organisational structure of the lab are in Clause 5.
Management System Requirements procedures are in Clause 8.
Clauses 6 and 7 contain most of the Technical Requirements of the older standard, with a few Management Requirements thrown in. These technical clauses flow with the process of testing or calibration within a lab.
Clause 6 looks at Resource Requirements. These are the inputs that impact the lab's ability to provide services consistently and competently to its clients
Clause 7 contains the Process Requirements. This follows through from receipt of the request for sampling, testing, or calibration right through to issuing of the report, any complaints and nonconformances.
From procedure-based to performance-based
In general, the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 version is more about risk and less about procedures. This gives labs the flexibility to develop their management system in a way that suits their business, as long as they can provide evidence that they have met the requirements and can consistently apply and follow their chosen process.
Impartiality, competence, and consistent operations
There is an increased focus on the 'competence, impartiality and consistent operations of laboratories.' In fact, impartiality is considered so important that it now has its own set of clauses right at the beginning. The focus on these three elements is designed to give added confidence in the ability of accredited labs to deliver valid results to their customers.
Addition of sampling to lab activities
The definition of a laboratory has been broadened in the new version of the standard.
Previously, it was applicable to testing and calibration laboratories, however the new version allows for organisations that conduct sampling for subsequent testing (at their own facilities or others) to also obtain accreditation for this activity.
Recognition of electronic-based systems and records
The world is a very different place since 2005, particularly in information technology. The 2017 version acknowledges this and recognises that processes, reports and records may now be electronic.
Alignment with ISO 9001
Clause 8, Management System Requirements, consists of Option A and Option B. This allows for labs that already have a certified ISO 9001 management system in place and can show that they consistently fulfil the requirements of clauses 4 to 7, to have inherently satisfied clause 8.
If this is not the case, a lab would select Option A and follow the specified requirements of clause 8.
Risk-based approach
There was a section on preventive action. Although this no longer exists, labs must still consider possible risks before a nonconformity occurs. In line with other quality management standards, labs must consider both risks and opportunities associated with activities and take appropriate action. This includes risks to impartiality.
Decision rule
Another new addition to the standard is the application of the decision rule to statements of conformity. The lab must get agreement from its customers, document and state its decision rule. This should be applied when determining if test results conform to a specification or standard. The decision rule must consider the level of risk of falsely accepting or rejecting a result before reporting whether it conforms to the specification or not. The decision rule is how clients can take account of measurement uncertainty in determining compliance to specifications.
This revision recognises that important decisions are made based on test results. Therefore, there is a greater focus on ensuring that laboratories can produce valid and reliable results.
Remember it's not just about compliance or doing things to meet NATA accreditation. It's about making your lab work better and smarter.

Russia's Underwater Drone "Poseidon" Will Reach Speeds of Over 200 km/h
MOSCOW, Russia (BulgarianMilitary.com) – A source in the Russian military-industrial complex, quoted by TASS, said the latest Russian underwater drone "Poseidon", the development of which was announced in March 2018 by Vladimir Putin, will reach a speed of more than 200 km/h (about 110 knots) , learned BulgarianMilitary.com
"Poseidon" will be capable to operate at a depth of over 1 km. as well as to travel at its maximum speed and in the air cavities that are formed by the water vapor around the submarine, while it is moving.
According to the source, the underwater drone will be highly maneuverable during its course. All this, along with the maximum speed and the possible depth, "makes it impossible" for the drone to be defeated by another enemy drones.

We recall that, at the moment, the modern nuclear submarines have a maximum underwater speed of 60 km/h (30-35 knots) and the torpedo – about 90 km/h. (50 knots). The Russian torpedo system "Shkval" is equipped with a jet engine that, according to other sources, can reach an underwater speed of 370 km/h (up to 200 knots), but unlike Poseidon, it operates at a shorter distance and at a shallow depth.
BulgarianMilitary.com has no official confirmation that to confirm the source information quoted above.

According to the Russian state-owned news agency, at the moment the tests of the underwater drone system "Poseidon" are underway, and a Russian Navy nuclear-powered submarine is used to move the drone around for the purposes of the trials.
"Poseidon" is part of the Russian project for a multipurpose marine and oceanic system. Vladimir Putin announced the development of "Poseidon" in his traditional address to Russia's Federal Assembly in March last year. According to Putin's words, said later, these underwater drones could be equipped with conventional and nuclear weapons and destroy enemy infrastructure projects as well as aircraft carriers.
