Defense counsel can use this decision as a blueprint for vigorously defending against amended complaints, especially when those amendments change the nature of the injury and expand the class of plaintiffs. Furthermore, claims are susceptible to proximate causation defenses when the underlying violation is too far removed from the injury – certainly in antitrust cases – by more than one directly traceable level of commerce or by other intervening factors. This decision also has important implications beyond the motion to dismiss stage, most notably in determining whether class certification is appropriate in indirect purchaser cases where the allegedly price-fixed products are transformed at various points and in different ways in the stream of commerce. While federal courts have adopted a fairly liberal standard for allowing amended pleadings to relate back, adding new claims that expand cases from a limited set of purchasers to virtually every American and American business is a (steel) bridge too far.

“This wasn’t your typical job where an engineer draws up a spec and everybody follows it,” Escher said. “We worked closely with the engineer and the building owner in a collaborative effort to determine the best equipment and the best piping system.”

“No!” they answer in unison. (When I return to my hotel, I go back to the China Production Party’s official website and check its charter; “peaceful reunification” is there, as I remembered it, at the very top.)

Thanks for your question Ben. Regulatory limit or safe dose? There’s no black and white answer.The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) recommends a Basic Safety Standard (revised in July 2014, see http://www-pub.iaea.org/MTCD/Publications/PDF/Pub1578_web-57265295.pdf)."For public exposure, the dose limits are:(a) An effective dose of 1 mSv in a year;(b) In special circumstances, a higher value of effective dose in a single year could apply, provided that the average effective dose over five consecutive years does not exceed 1 mSv per year;(c) An equivalent dose to the lens of the eye of 15 mSv in a year;(d) An equivalent dose to the skin of 50 mSv in a year."These general ‘public dose limits’ are on top of background exposures from natural radiation that everyone receives (global annual average dose is 2.4 mSv). They don’t include medical treatments, or ‘emergency exposure situations’ like nuclear accidents. When judging health impacts, the International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) recommends a sliding scale of ‘dose constraints’ or ‘reference levels’, according to the type of exposure.In Japan (and elsewhere) these ‘limits’ have been interpreted as a general safety standard whereby technologies (whether an x-ray machine or a nuclear power plant) should not expose uninvolved people to more than 1 millisievert (mSv), or 1000 microsieverts a year. The nuclear disaster in Fukushima made that standard impossible to maintain.In the forest, we were measuring levels between 5 and 7 microsieverts an hour, or 0.005-0.007 millisieverts (mSv) an hour, or between 43 and 61 mSv a year. I compared that to the Basic Safety Standard for the ‘public dose limit’, which is the basis for my statement "that’s about 50 times the maximum dose rate considered safe for the general public."During the five days we were filming in Fukushima prefecture, all members of our crew wore personal dosimeters issued by ARPANSA to record our individual dose. Most of our time was spent outside the evacuated areas. Each crew member received an average radiation dose of 0.07 mSv above background radiation. This is on the verge of the minimal detectable limit for the dosimeters and represents about twice as much as the dose from one chest X-ray. Or to put it another way, we probably received about the same amount of cosmic radiation while flying to Japan and back.According to ARPANSA, radiation health effects are unlikely at low levels however the likelihood of an increased risk of cancer goes up as the radiation dose increases. The annual dose limit for people who work with radiation is 20 mSv.

There are many endocrine disruptors in Australia. In fact our water suppliers put three into over 70% of Australia’s drinking water supply, and from there into most of our food and beverages.No 1. Hydrofluorocilicic acid, H2SiF6.No 2. Sodium Silicofluoride, Na2SiF6.No 3. Sodium Fluoride, NaF.All three are toxic waste products with co-contaminants of arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium and many more heavy metals.They add this stuff to our water, food and beverages, and say drink and eat as much as you like, and add it to the rest of the endocrine disrupting chemicals in our environment.Swallowing silcofluorides is unnecessary, unethical and unhealthy.
