Bit scary and I would say a number of you may have to go through beginner lessons again and also wear name tags lol. On the 9th of May the national association had their AGM with a number of clubs from throughout New Zealand that were involved. First time ever we had to run the meeting through zoom so talking to 40 odd people from around the country was quite weird but it worked. A number of remits were discussed and voted on with a collection of changes mostly good but a few I didn’t agree with but you all can see it all on the association website if you are interested in looking . Also senior and junior nationals were voted on where they should be hosted and that is also advertised on their website. Juniors next year will be in Porirua and Seniors will be in Wanganui.

  • Landeshauptstadt Innsbruck
    Landeshauptstadt Innsbruck Beteiligungsbericht 2019 Impressum: Medieninhaber und Herausgeber: Stadt Innsbruck Stadtmagistrat Innsbruck MA IV Finanz-, Wirtschafts- und Beteiligungsverwaltung Maria-Theresien-Straße 18, 6020 Innsbruck Telefon: 0512/5360-2103 E-Mail: [email protected] VORWORT Bürgermeister © Christian Forcher Georg WILLI Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren! Die Stadt Innsbruck mit ihren verschiedenen Tochtergesellschaften bildet das oft unsichtbare Rückgrat der Stadt. Gut sichtbar vor allem dann, wenn etwas nicht so gut klappt, bleiben viele der Beteiligungsunternehmen sonst eher im Hintergrund. Ihr Funktionieren wird als selbstverständlich vorausgesetzt. Einmal im Jahr zeigt uns aber der Beteiligungsbericht, wo Innsbruck überall „drinsteckt“. Wie immer informiert der vorliegende Bericht über alle Beteiligungen der Stadt Innsbruck. Neu in diesem Jahr: erstmals werden neben den Gesellschaften mit unmittelbarer Beteiligung der Stadt auch Gesellschaften mit mittelbarer Beteiligung angeführt, wenn die Stadt insgesamt zu mehr als 50% beteiligt ist. Ausnahme: Bei Vorliegen eines Konzernabschlusses – wie bei der Innsbrucker Kommunalbetriebe AG – werden die mittelbaren Beteiligungen nicht eigens dargestellt, sofern diese im Konzernabschluss bereits erfasst sind. Alle Beteiligungsunternehmen zusammen erwirtschafteten im Berichtsjahr 2018 insgesamt 601,2 Millionen Euro. Damit konnte der hohe Wert des Vorjahres (599,7 Mio.) sogar noch übertroffen werden. Die Summe der Anlagevermögen ergibt mit 3.097,8 Millionen Euro ein starkes Plus von 4,5 Prozent. Insgesamt wurden 278,5 Millionen Euro im Jahr 2018 neu investiert. Die Summe der Jahresergebnisse konnte auf dem Rekordwert von 22 Millionen Euro des letzten Jahres gehalten werden. Wie diese Zahlen aus dem Bericht eindrucksvoll bestätigen, bleibt die Stadt Innsbruck mit ihren 28 Beteiligungsunternehmen weiterhin ein wichtiger Wirtschaftsfaktor. Mindestens so wichtig ist ihre Bedeutung als Arbeitgeber.

Biosci., 2014; 2(2): 85-89 ISSN 2347-9515 (Print) ©Scholars Academic and Scientific Publisher (An International Publisher for Academic and Scientific Resources) www.saspublisher.com Research Article In Vitro Degradation of Plastics (Plastic Cup) Using Micrococcus Luteus and Masoniella Sp Sivasankari. S* , Vinotha. T Department Of Microbiology, Shri Mathi Indira Gandhi College, Tirchirappalli, Tamil Nadu -620002, India *Corresponding author S. Sivasankari Email: Abstract: Plastic is a broad name given to different polymers with high molecular weight, which can be degraded by various processes. However, considering their abundance in the environment and their specificity in attacking plastics, biodegradation of plastics by microorganisms and enzymes seems to be the most effective process. When plastics are used as substrates for microorganisms, evaluation of their biodegradability should not only be based on their chemical structure, but also on their physical properties (melting point, glass transition temperature, crystallinity, storage modulus etc.). Present paper investigates the possibility of plastic degradation by microbes isolated from forest soil. The invitro degradation was studied by litter bag experiment by taking 1 g of each plastic and buried under forest soil at a depth of 15 cm from the surface during the month of September to February, 2010. An in-vitro experiment was started after collecting the plastic samples from the litter bag experiment and the microbes were isolated from the surface of the plastic. Then the isolated microbes inoculated in the nutrient agar. Result showed that no variety of plastic comfortable degraded under burial condition during 45 days.

  • The Chemical Story Behind Non- Petroleum-Based Plastics
    THE CHEMICAL STORY BEHIND NON- PETROLEUM-BASED PLASTICS Every year, millions of tons of plastic are discarded into landfills, where they will take hundreds of years to break down. New biodegradable plastics offer a potential solution to this problem. image source Let’s back up and talk about “traditional” plastics first. In addition to being landfilled, some plastic is disposed of improperly, leading to plastic pollution on land and in lakes and oceans where they persist. Once in the environment, animals can accidentally eat the plastic but are incapable of digesting it, so the plastic just sits in their stomachs. Over time, the plastic can block off their digestive system, and the animal will starve. Luckily, there are plastics that are designed to break down rapidly upon disposal. These types of plastics are known as biodegradable plastics, meaning that organisms can decompose the plastic in the environment. When biodegradable plastics are decomposed, they are converted to chemicals found in nature, often carbon dioxide and water. The organisms that carry out the decomposition are generally microorganisms like bacteria. Instead of hundreds of years, most biodegradable plastics take only a few months to decompose after they’ve been thrown away. Many of the biodegradable plastics produced today can be made from renewable resources. I’m going to talk about a few different biodegradable plastics in use today. A biodegradable plastic that is heavily used today is called polylactic acid, or PLA, for short. Polylactic acid is most often made from corn. It has a variety of uses, the most notable being for plastic cups, but it can also be used for compost bags, disposable tableware, and in upholstery.
