Electronic wasteYe Eun YoonThis document discusses the growing problem of electronic waste (e-waste) around the world. It notes that over 2 billion people now have internet access, generating large amounts of discarded electronics as people upgrade their devices. Each year, 50 million personal computers are discarded, adding up to 500 tons of e-waste daily. While some e-waste is meant to be shipped to other countries for reuse, much of it contains toxic materials like lead, cadmium, and mercury that can harm the environment and human health when not disposed of properly. The document describes cases of pollution harming communities in places like India and the growing issue of informal e-waste recycling exposing people, especially children, to health risks from toxic material exposure.

Fstep Webinar: Beyond The Funnel MentalityJenniferHaiBeyond the traditional funnel approach, companies should focus on developing quality networks of talent. Managers should maintain networks of 20-35 contacts through relationship-building and value exchange rather than aggressive recruiting tactics. Talent acquisition professionals can take on a new coaching role to help managers establish and leverage their networks. A case study from Premera Health found their talent network development program improved manager attitudes, networking skills, and sourcing quality candidates. Measuring network strength through analysis of its structure and positions can further optimize talent sourcing.
Robots in recoveryYe Eun YoonRobots are being used in Japan for disaster relief efforts after earthquakes to search through rubble, locate and transport victims to safety. They can also help with cleanup of dangerous materials. While robots have advantages like being able to work in radioactive areas and not needing rest, they also have disadvantages like being very expensive, heavy, slow, and having limited sensors and processing power. Their increased use raises social and ethical issues around policies and standards, impacts on research funding and education, maintaining integrity in impersonal tasks, and effects on employment. In conclusion, while robots can be helpful, especially in dangerous situations, their capabilities remain limited and they are very costly.
