Q: Retrieving a row number from within a specific group of rows using a self join in JPA

Given a table named rating in a MySQL database.
+-------------+---------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field       | Type                | Null | Key | Default | Extra          |
+-------------+---------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| rating_id   | bigint(20) unsigned | NO   | PRI | NULL    | auto_increment |
| prod_id     | bigint(20) unsigned | YES  | MUL | NULL    |                |
| rating_num  | int(10) unsigned    | YES  |     | NULL    |                |
| ip_address  | varchar(45)         | YES  |     | NULL    |                |
| row_version | bigint(20) unsigned | NO   |     | 0       |                |

I need to fetch a row number from within a group of rows in this table. In Oracle, the row_number() window function is the rescue.
SELECT row_num
  FROM  (SELECT row_number() over (PARTITION BY prod_id ORDER BY rating_id DESC)
         AS prod_id, rating_id, row_num FROM rating)
WHERE rating_id=? AND prod_id = ?;

Neither JPA nor MySQL however, supports window functions. Therefore, the following different SQL statement can be used (self join based on prod_id).
SELECT a.prod_id, a.rating_id, count(*) as row_number
FROM rating a
INNER JOIN rating b ON a.prod_id = b.prod_id AND a.rating_id <= b.rating_id
GROUP BY a.prod_id, a.rating_id
ORDER BY a.prod_id, a.rating_id DESC

The statement returns the following result set.
+---------+-----------+------------+
| prod_id | rating_id | row_number |
+---------+-----------+------------+
|       7 |        16 |          1 |
|       7 |         3 |          2 |
+---------+-----------+------------+
|       8 |         8 |          1 |
|       8 |         1 |          2 |
+---------+-----------+------------+
|       9 |        15 |          1 |
|       9 |        14 |          2 |
|       9 |         5 |          3 |
+---------+-----------+------------+
|      10 |        11 |          1 |
|      10 |        10 |          2 |
|      10 |         9 |          3 |
|      10 |         7 |          4 |
|      10 |         6 |          5 |
|      10 |         2 |          6 |
+---------+-----------+------------+
|      16 |        13 |          1 |
|      16 |        12 |          2 |
|      16 |         4 |          3 |
+---------+-----------+------------+

A row number associated with a particular group of products can be retrieved from the above result set based on rating_id (primary key) using an additional condition in the join. The query can now be completed fully as follows.
SELECT a.prod_id, a.rating_id, count(*) as row_number
FROM rating a
INNER JOIN rating b ON a.prod_id = b.prod_id AND a.rating_id <= b.rating_id
AND a.rating_id=?
GROUP BY a.prod_id, a.rating_id
ORDER BY a.prod_id, a.rating_id DESC

As obvious, a row number of a specific group of products can now be selected from the third column (row_number) of the result set (which will always be one row only).

The finalized query in JPA is nevertheless still troublesome. The following criteria query is insufficient to generate the above SQL statement.
CriteriaBuilder criteriaBuilder = entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();
CriteriaQuery<Tuple> criteriaQuery = criteriaBuilder.createTupleQuery();
Root<Rating> root = criteriaQuery.from(entityManager.getMetamodel().entity(Rating.class));
criteriaQuery.multiselect(root.get(Rating_.product).get(Product_.prodId), root.get(Rating_.ratingId), criteriaBuilder.count(root));

Join<Rating, Rating> join = root.join(Rating_.rating, JoinType.INNER).on(criteriaBuilder.equal(root, rating));
criteriaQuery.where(criteriaBuilder.lessThanOrEqualTo(root.get(Rating_.ratingId), join.get(Rating_.ratingId)));
criteriaQuery.groupBy(root.get(Rating_.product).get(Product_.prodId), root.get(Rating_.ratingId));
criteriaQuery.orderBy(criteriaBuilder.desc(root.get(Rating_.product).get(Product_.prodId)), criteriaBuilder.desc(root.get(Rating_.ratingId)));

List<Tuple> list = entityManager.createQuery(criteriaQuery).getResultList();
Long rowNumber = list == null || list.isEmpty() ? 0L : list.get(0).get(2, Long.class);

The JPQL corresponding to the above criteria query :
SELECT a.product.prodId, a.ratingId, COUNT(a) AS row_number
FROM Rating a INNER JOIN a.rating b ON a.ratingId=:ratingId
WHERE a.ratingId <= b.ratingId
GROUP BY a.product.prodId, a.ratingId
ORDER BY a.product.prodId, a.ratingId DESC

Both of the above queries generate the following SQL statement.
select
    rating0_.`prod_id` as col_0_0_,
    rating0_.`rating_id` as col_1_0_,
    count(rating0_.`rating_id`) as col_2_0_
from
    `jboss_projectdb`.`rating` rating0_
inner join
    `jboss_projectdb`.`rating` rating1_
        on rating0_.`prod_id`=rating1_.`rating_id`
        and (
            rating0_.`rating_id`=?
        )
where
    rating0_.`rating_id`<=rating1_.`rating_id`
group by
    rating0_.`prod_id` ,
    rating0_.`rating_id`
order by
    rating0_.`prod_id` desc,
    rating0_.`rating_id` desc

Notice the join condition in the generated statement.
on rating0_.`prod_id`=rating1_.`rating_id`

It should however be
on rating0_.`prod_id`=rating1_.`prod_id`

So, the question being is how to self join the rating table based on prod_id (which is a foreign key)?

The self join relationship in the Rating entity has been defined as follows.
@ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
@JoinColumn(name = "prod_id", insertable = false, updatable = false)
private Rating rating;

@OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, mappedBy = "rating")
private List<Rating> ratingList;

I am not interested in using the following very MySQL specific statement to fetch a row number from inside a specific group of rows.
SELECT
    row_num
FROM
    (SELECT @row_num := @row_num + 1 AS row_num, tbl.rating_id
     FROM
         rating tbl, (SELECT @row_num := 0) t
     WHERE
         tbl.prod_id=?
     ORDER  BY
         tbl.rating_id DESC) t
     WHERE
         rating_id = ?

Update :
If the relationship is changed like the following,
@JoinColumn(name = "prod_id", referencedColumnName = "prod_id", insertable = false, updatable = false)
@ManyToOne(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
private Rating rating;

@JoinColumn(name = "prod_id", referencedColumnName = "prod_id")
@OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
private List<Rating> ratingList;

Hibernate throws the following exception.

criteriaQuery.multiselect(...).distinct(true);does not help. So, I don't think there may exist a way to get around the problem.

A: Hibernate does everything exactly as what your mappings tell it to do. The construct FROM Rating a INNER JOIN a.rating b means join primary key of one rating with the foreign key (referencing that PK) of another.
To achieve what you want with your mappings you have to explicitly construct the join condition, so the from and where clauses of your JPQL could look like:
SELECT ...
FROM Rating a, Rating b
WHERE a.rating.id = b.rating.id
  AND a.ratingId = :ratingId
  AND a.ratingId <= b.ratingId
GROUP BY ...
ORDER BY ...

rating.id is translated to prod_id column.

Man accused of federal drug trafficking extradited to Florida
On Behalf of Frank A. Rubino, Esq. | Nov 20, 2016 | Federal Drug Trafficking
After being captured in Argentina, an individual accused of being an international drug lord was handed over to federal authorities and flown to South Florida on Thursday, Nov. 17, 2016. He was originally arrested in 2012, but could not be extradited until recently. A day after his arrival, he appeared before a federal judge to face charges of federal drug trafficking for smuggling cocaine.
The accused is currently incarcerated in Florida. He had applied for political asylum in Argentina, but his request was denied. He claims he was set up by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the Colombian police. Authorities allege the man is the leader of the "Urabenos" gang. Considered to be one of the most wanted drug traffickers in the world, he is accused of smuggling tons of cocaine into the country.
On Nov. 29, the defendant will again appear before a U.S. federal court and plans to enter a plea of "not guilty." After the man was denied bond in the first court appearance, the federal magistrate will determine at this next court date whether he is eligible for one. If the court rules that he is a danger to the community or a flight risk, any requests for bond will once again be rejected.
Federal drug trafficking charges are always very serious. Given the defendant's claims that he was set up and was politically persecuted, his legal counsel will certainly take these claims into account when formulating a defense strategy. Individuals facing such serious charges would be well advised to seek experienced legal counsel to guide and support them throughout every stage of the criminal proceedings.

Bill and Hillary tried to snag $3.5 million in taxpayer dollars, but the D.C. Court of Appeals told them "no."
Appeals Court Denies Clintons' Requested Sum
Bill and Hillary tried to snag $3.5 million in taxpayer dollars, but the D.C. Court of Appeals told them "no."
wweckerly
On Tuesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia rejected a request from Bill and Hillary Clinton for $3.5 million in taxpayer money to pay off their Whitewater legal bills.
The New York Post reported Wednesday that the Clintons owe up to $6.5 million in legal fees, according to Hillary's latest financial disclosure statement. Five million dollars of this is owed to David Kendall–the lawyer who handled the Whitewater and Monica Lewinsky cases–and his law firm.
The seven-year, $70 million Whitewater investigation began by looking into a failed Arkansas land deal but eventually led to Bill Clinton's impeachment for lying about his relationship with Lewinsky.
The three judges on the appeals court did award the Clintons $85,000 in legal expenses they accumulated during their response to Ken Starr's Whitewater report. In effect, the Clintons took home less than 3% of what they requested–a statistic that bothered Kendall in lieu of former President Ronald Reagan and former Vice President George Bush being reimbursed 72% and 59%, respectively, of their Iran-Contra legal fees.
"The facts and numbers speak for themselves," said Kendall, who will still collect wasted taxpayer money for his lost cause. "The good news is that the partisan Whitewater smoke-and-mirrors investigation is finally over."

Originally I had no intention of writing about the situation surrounding Dragon*Con and the calls to boycott it. Not that they weren't interesting or relevant to geek culture, but others had made the same points I would and I didn't feel I had anything new to add.
Recently I have been reading a lot of exchanges online about Dragon*Con and the boycott effort. The problem is that in a lot of those exchanges I have seen a lot of emotion and a casual disregard of facts. As a one-time journalism major and a fan of the @willMcAvoyACN twitter account I feel strongly that facts are important. So let us take some time here and now to look at the facts as I have been able to learn them.
Dragon*Con is a for-profit convention founded in 1987 in Atlanta, Georgia. Originally a science fiction convention, it has grown to be more of a multi-genre convention, embracing almost all aspects of geek culture. It currently boasts an attendance of approximately 52,000.
One of the convention's founders is a man named Ed Kramer. Besides working with the convention, Kramer edited several books working with such well-known authors as Neil Gaiman, Nancy A. Collins, and James O'Barr.
In 2000, Kramer was arrested and charged with molesting three teenage boys. Due to a combination of legal actions and health issues he has yet to face trial on those charges. After the charges were made, Kramer was removed from Dragon*Con's board and is no longer involved in running the convention; however, he retains his shares in the company. In 2009, Kramer posted a bond that allowed him travel privileges in order to attend his health needs and visit his mother. While on one of these trips in 2011, Kramer was caught in a motel room with a 14 year old boy leading to his arrest and further charges. He fought extradition back to Georgia to face the original charges. Last January that extradition went through and he is back in custody in Georgia.
The call for a boycott of Dragon*Con comes from Kramer's status as a shareholder. Kramer owns 31% of Dragon*Con shares, which means he is entitled to profits from the convention. In 2011 those shares netted him $150,000.
The call to boycott Dragon*Con was started in January by Nancy A. Collins. Her contention is that Dragon*Con has not done enough to remove Kramer as a shareholder, and that they should dissolve the corporation and reform under another name.
In February Dragon*Con made a public statement on the matter. It pointed out that Kramer has no hand in running the convention at all since 2000. It also points out that efforts have been made to buy out his shares of the convention but Kramer responded by suing them. They also explored the option of dissolving the corporation and reforming, but that was not a possibility right now. Follow up on that last point revealed that under Georgia law, a corporation cannot voluntarily dissolve as long as there are pending legal disputes, so Kramer's lawsuits prevent that option. Some have suggested trying to force Kramer to sell his shares, but that cannot take place until after he has been convicted, since he is presumed innocent under U.S. law until then.
So those are the facts of the case. Where does that leave us?
2: He dies. The man does have health issues, including the need for an oxygen tank. One of the major reasons he has not faced trial yet is the contention by his lawyers that he is not healthy enough to sit through a lengthy trial. Based on that, It's not farfetched to presume that he does not have that long to live.
3: Dragon*Con folds. Let's face it, if the convention dies, that would prevent Kramer from receiving any more funds from it.
This leaves us with some of the back-and-forth debate that has being going on between those in favor of the boycott and those against.
The major point that those in favor of the boycott make is that denying money to the convention ultimately denies money to Kramer. This is a straight forward point, and can't be argued with.
The counter that is made is that a financial loss to Dragon*Con can have a ripple effect on several people, including other employees of the convention, the vendors that depend on Dragon*Con as a major source of their annual income, and local businesses like the hotels and restaurants in the area.
Also on the anti-boycott side is the claim that despite the boycott, Dragon*Con is so big that it will still turn a profit.
The counter to this is that even if that is true, the boycotters can take comfort in knowing that their money did not go to this, and thus did not support Kramer.
There have been some suggestions that the current organizers of the convention just abandon Dragon*Con and start a new competing convention.
This is a really tricky one because it looks good on paper, but falls apart in reality.
Basically it would require creating a new convention from scratch, with no access to any of Dragon*Con's assets. They would not have the advantage of the Dragon*Con brand name, and they would need to negotiate new contracts with new convention sites. They could not use the old sites, as they have multi-year contracts with Dragon*Con.
Is it doable? Yes, of course it is.
Is it something they are likely to do? No, because the hassle would be enormous, and there would likely be new rounds of lawsuits, not only from Kramer, but most likely the hotels and other venues they have multi-year contracts with.
In the end this is not the black-and-white issue that everyone wishes it was. Every person touched by this situation is going to need to do what their conscience directs them to do.
All I ask is that when deciding what your take on it is, you keep in mind the facts.

Will not it be difficult to assemble? But the product is very sophisticated.
I have tried other ways, but it's hard to play with the wheels getting stuck.
I do not think it's a good idea to make it in Xiaomi.
I bought it as a gift for 3 seconds that I like LEGO.
I bought it as a niece gift, but my nephew likes it.
It is not yet assembled, but it does not wait long due to fast delivery.
H7 Shipping is not fast, but it's good value for money.
Shipping processing will not proceed.
Thank you for your understanding that additional period has occurred due to the large number of orders ordered during the holiday season.


If you have a kid over the age of seven, you probably hear more about Fortnite than you want to. The massively popular online shooter where groups of 100 people are dropped into a cartoon-colored arena and forced to fight and build until only one player remains is the video game success story of 2018, boasting 125 million users and making developer Epic an estimated $300 million a month.
Many of those players are kids, attracted by the game's free price tag, cross-platform play, and quick action. But in each game of Fortnite there can be only one winner – and some parents are helping their kids' chances by hiring dedicated video game coaches to polish their skills and get them that Victory Royale.
Fortnite success is easy to understand because it's a very binary condition: either you're the 1 in 100 that lasts to the end and gets the Victory Royale or you aren't. It's very common in the schoolyard to hear players boasting about how many Royales they've racked up in their gaming career, and woe betide the young noob who's never earned a single one.
The longer the game stays as the current fad, the more new players will funnel in and the harder it will be to excel. Players who have been parachuting in to Tilted Towers for months are going to have an experience advantage over junior players. The feeling of being new to a game can be very frustrating, and it can be a slow grind to build skills, especially without anybody showing you the ropes.
There's nothing wrong with your kids wanting to be good at video games. A lot of their developing identity is built around competition and hierarchy, and gaming provides an arena for them to test each other's mettle without any real-life consequences.
The video game coaching industry isn't a completely new concept. Throughout the 80s and 90s, magazines like Tips & Tricks featured strategy guides and hidden secrets for the top console and arcade games of the era. This is just an evolved, more personal version of that advice.
Most coaches are professional or semi-professional gamers looking to make a little extra money, and charge between $15 and $35 for an hour-long session. Because Fortnite doesn't have a robust professional competitive scene yet compared to games like League of Legends or Overwatch, it's one of the only reliable ways for up and coming pros to earn money while playing.
Coaches help their clients in a variety of ways. They certainly give advice on the mechanical aspects of the game – how to move and aim most effectively, for example – but a bigger part of coaching is observing their reactions and instincts in the game and helping them attain a successful mindset.
Fortnite's recently-added Playground mode is the typical environment coaches start in. In Playground, players are capped at four, and the storm doesn't start encroaching on the play area for 55 minutes, and then you have five more to wrap up. In addition, if you're killed in Playground you can immediately respond instead of going back to the bus for another game. That makes it a comfortable sandbox where you won't be hassled by unwanted attention and can focus on individual skills.
I talked to a group of young Fortnite players ranging in age from 11 to 16 about coaching. Some of them had heard of it from ads on social media, but none knew anybody who had hired one. That's not terribly surprising – these kids were casual players and all fairly decent at the game already.
When I asked if they would ever get Fortnite coaching, none of them said they would. But if it was guaranteed that they'd get more Victory Royales (each of them had at least one to their name), they started to get tempted. While winning isn't everything, it still has a lot of allure for kids.
Should you balk at hiring a video game coach for your kid if they really want it? Probably not. We happily shell out cash for plenty of skills our kids will probably never use in their adult life, like martial arts or music lessons. In the long run, they probably won't be a pro gamer, but if a few sessions will help them feel more capable when they play with their friends, that's not a bad thing.
There are two ways to find a coach. Online job marketplaces like Fiverr have listings for video game coaches, but the quality control on there isn't high – while some of the coaches there have multiple reviews, the vast majority have one or none. A better choice might be to contract with a service like Gamer Sensei, a Boston-based startup that offers assistance in over a dozen titles as well as custom apps to train outside of the game.
Of course, there's always the very 2018 dream of parlaying success into a professional esports career and playing Fortnite for a living. Epic Games has announced that it's paying out $100 million in prizes for Fortnite tournaments over the next year, and although your kid's chances of making it to that level are probably pretty slim, that's an attractive carrot to dangle in front of a kid's head. But being a pro gamer isn't any more of a pipe dream than being a pro basketball player, or a rapper, or any other fantasy occupation.
Although it may seem absurd, video game coaching can serve as a mentoring relationship for kids. Having a non-family adult pay attention to them in an area they're personally interested in and help them improve themselves is valuable for their self-worth.
Coaching can also help kids appreciate and understand their game as more than just a temporary shot of dopamine and adrenaline, but as a system of rules created by designers that can be explored and exploited. Having that kind of conscious awareness is a skill that can be transferred to other critical thinking opportunities.
If your child has anxiety about their gaming performance, or wants to demonstrate a deeper level of commitment to the hobby, there's nothing wrong with getting them a coach – or, even better, allowing them to spend their own money on one. As long as you continue to set clearly defined boundaries for appropriate amounts of gaming time, making it one part of a well-balanced life, why shouldn't they get a little help to be the best player they can be?

The master bedroom includes a walk-in closet while the master bath has his and her vanities, quartz countertops, luxury cabinetry, a soaking tub and separate glass-enclosed shower.
Additional residential features include floor-to-ceiling windows and doors that open to lanais with transparent glass rails.
Like the first tower, Tower 200 will also have rooftop amenities including a pool, open-air fitness center and a sky lounge.
Prices in Tower 200 begin at $1.4 million.
The residents of the first tower, along with their family members and friends, are already enjoying the community's Club amenity center. It opened in early January and is now the social and recreational centerpiece of the community.
The clubhouse itself features three individual pools, including a resort pool, an adults-only pool and a children's pool, plus a pool deck, an open-air bar, an indoor/outdoor restaurant, bistro, a fitness center, and lakeside fire pit.
"All three pools overlook the lake and provide a multitude of recreational options for everyone who lives and visits here," said Lodge.
Sun decks and lounge chairs separate each of the three pools for the ultimate in privacy.
Adjacent to the clubhouse is the tennis pavilion with 4 Har-Tru tennis courts, as well as eight pickleball courts. Guest suites can be reserved by members to accommodate overnight guests and are located on property.
Residents also have a shuttle service that originates from the clubhouse, and takes them to the beach.

Although the PS4 Pro gets most of the attention these days, with its 4K visuals, the slimmer standard PlayStation 4 is a great starting point for anyone who wants to get into console gaming and doesn't have a large budget.
The original launch PlayStation 4 is hard to find these days, with what was the 'Slim' now the standard model. Thus the shape and build of the current PS4 looks like the console has been on the Atkins diet for a while.
The physical power and eject buttons are easy to find and use – certainly easier than the weird touch-enabled strips on the original. And the glowing LED that indicates whether the PS4 is switched on or in standby mode is small and located under the buttons. It won't bother your eyeline when sat under a TV.
There is one caveat. For some reason unbeknownst to us, the optical digital audio output that was present on the original PS4 has disappeared. That might not affect many, but is bad news for those who would rather feed sound directly into separate speakers or an older AV receiver that doesn't accept HDMI.
All other ports you'd require, including two USB 3.1 sockets, Ethernet, the aforementioned HDMI and an AUX hole for the PlayStation Camera (yes, some people still use that, honest), are present and correct.
In terms of gaming – its primary function, but of course – the standard PS4 is superb. It's only bettered by the much more expensive PS4 Pro or Xbox One X.
All PlayStation 4 models now have HDR support for relevant games and media content. Yep, you don't have to have a PS4 Pro for that.
Of course HDR is only relevant for those with an HDR-enabled television and requires games to support the wider colour gamut and deeper contrast it affords. But when they do the impact is simply "wow".
The user interface is constantly being improved over time, so is now vastly superior than the one launched many moons ago. Indeed, most times we fire up the PlayStation after a hiatus (usually owed to Switch play), there's an update that's required to continue.
Patches over the years have added plenty of new features and, while it isn't quite as complex as the Xbox One dashboard, we find it is easier to navigate and get to the most important aspects – namely playing games.
For the more recent PS4 (and indeed the PS4 Pro) Sony redesigned its DualShock 4 controller. It has an added, player-facing LED light strip along the top of the controller's touch panel, which is different to the original version. This is so players can see it without having to flip the gamepad over, to see which colour they are during multiplayer games or the like.
You can still use former DualShock 4 controllers too, so if you see any on eBay or are upgrading from an original PlayStation 4, you can use them as additional gamepads. And you might need to buy an extra after lots of play: we've somehow torn the coating of one analogue stick due to excess thumb action.
We've found that the latest PS4 is the least noisy PlayStation 4 we've encountered, at least when playing games off the hard drive.
There were times on hot days that our original PS4 sounded like an industrial leaf blower (probably down to the accumulation of dust in its vents over time), and even the PS4 Pro can groan under the heat, but we've had no such issues with the standard PS4. The disc drive makes a little noise when turning, but it's not much of an annoyance.
That's with both game discs and Blu-ray or DVD. It's a crying shame that Sony decided against upgrading the drive to one that can spin 4K Ultra HD Blu-rays in any of its consoles, which is something Microsoft includes with the Xbox One S and One X. But the PS4's HDMI port isn't 4K compatible anyway, so it's irrelevant in this case.
The latter is actually quite easy thanks to a slide-out HDD caddy hidden under a flap near the rear. We swapped ours for a Samsung 2TB 2.5-inch drive and, as long as you have the right screwdriver to hand (a Philips #1), it's a doddle. It cost us an extra £80 for the drive, but that's well worth it.
All this chat and we've not even reached the pinnacle purpose of the PS4: the games.
No, it's not technically the most powerful console in the world, but oh boy does it have some top quality titles – especially some of its exclusives such as God of War and Uncharted 4.

Papa's Obsession
by Philip Iovino
"Papa," the Santo family's protective and eccentric patriarch, is a man of many obsessions. As he struggles for control in the lives of his loved ones, he's driven to meticulously collect the items that make up the world around him. But no amount of obsessing can give him what he desires most: a grandson to carry on the family name. Or can it? When Papa's carefree son Ricky finds himself the beneficiary of a beautiful girl's indiscretion, he soon learns he might be the father of Natalie's growing child. The possibility sparks a high-stakes game in which Ricky and Natalie are pawns to Papa's ambitions. The Santo legacy hangs in the balance, but so do the futures of all involved.

OHSAS 18001 certification for the Hendaye plant
Mission accomplished for the Hendaye production plant! In September it was the first in the Group to obtain certification for its Occupational Health and Safety Management System in compliance with the OHSAS 18001 standard.
The 18001 is an international regulation that aims to continually improve standards of accident prevention, through achievement of annual goals. The prestige of this certification is evident when you consider it has only been granted to fewer than a thousand Italian companies. All the staff were directly involved in drawing up and applying the procedures verified by TÜV Austria.
This success is part of a "programme of safety and protection of the environment", already in place and strongly supported by Epta. It is therefore the natural evolution of a process that started with UNI EN ISO 14001 certification in 2010 for the plants in Hendaye (France), Bradford (UK) and Limana (Italy).
Record-breaking Host also for Eurocryor and Misa
The two top brands Misa and Eurocryor took part in the International Exhibition of the Hospitality Industry, which closed on 25 October. This prestigious show stood not only for the world record of 623 espresso coffees served in one hour, but also for its big attendance figures. Of the 125,000 professional visitors, 34% came from 153 countries outside Italy.
Internationality and eco-friendliness were the buzz words for this edition. Respect for the environment was centre stage and a crucial factor for business. A survey carried out by Fiera Milano and the promoters of Host on a selection of Italian and international operators revealed that sustainability is no longer just a figment of our imagination: for 45% of respondents, being green means "zero impact" and for 30% it is important to "make a profit without wasting resources".
The theme running through both the Eurocryor and Misa stands was Eptology with Passion & Technology for the former and Quality & Techology for the latter.
Passion such as the unusual feats of a contortionist on the Eurocryor stand, amazing visitors with her elegance and flexibility, on a par with the solutions delivered by this company. Quality perfectly expressed with the concept Save Food Bank for Misa, in other words a cabinet able to preserve food as "treasure", confirming the natural evolution of this company, which for 40 years has produced cold rooms that guarantee excellent conservation of food products.

Technology and design meet up in Keplero/Stylix
Innovative, elegant, versatile: Keplero/Stylix is the new refrigerated table just 4 cm thick.
Its simple transparent design allows sales points to recreate that typical local market look, in line with the sector's latest trends.
