Paddling Otaku: An amazing AGAP update.
It has been a heck of a week for the Alaskan Glacier Awareness Project.
First, as you may know, our kickstarter funded in 36 hours, we then hoped to hit our stretch goal of $1000 and guess what. We hit that goal on Sunday evening, and we still have two full weeks left. Now I am just curious how far we can go? So if you can continue to help us spread the word, that would be amazing. $1500 is our new stretch goal.
Second, the fleet is complete.
This is a Delta Sixteen that will be coming to Alaska with us. So if you aren't keeping track, We will have my Delta Seventeen (in red), A Delta 16 (in green) and a Delta 15.5 (in yellow). Yes, we will be covering the rainbow.
I haven't had a chance to paddle this boat yet, as I just picked it up today, but it amazingly beautiful. A foot shorter than my seventeen (obviously) and a half inch narrower. They changed the way the hatch covers work, which at first I wasn't too excited about, but after playing with them a little I might actually like them more. It is an extra step to open and close them, but the closure is fast and very secure - and in all fairness when rolling, mine leak a little. Also in fairness all kayak hatches leak a little. It has slightly lower volume, which you would expect. 5.5 liters less in the bow (which is almost nothing) and 15 liters less in the stern. So if the boat is a foot shorter and the dry storage isn't that much smaller where is the space coming from? The cockpit. The cockpit in the 16 is 35 liters smaller than the 17. When I am paddling on long trips I generally have a bit more than a foot in front of my feet that I fill with gear. This looks to be a much shorter cockpit. But you can add 11 liters for the day hatch in 16 that aren't in the 17.
I will paddle this boat this weekend and do a first look review. Then of course after Alaska I will do a long term review.


The nervous system makes up about 3% of your total body weight. Asides from being one of the smallest body systems it is the most complex. Neurons continuously send nerve impulses to communicate and regulate other body tissues. The brain is so powerful that it consumes 20% of the bodies oxygen supply. The nervous system together with the endocrine system play key roles in maintaining body homeostasis.

Comment period for milk, dairy identity ends 8/27. Part 2 of 7/26 hearing right here
Posted on August 19, 2018 by Agmoos
By Sherry Bunting, from Farmshine, August 17, 2018
WASHINGTON, D.C. – There are 10 days remaining for public comment on FDA standards of identity for milk and nearly 80 other dairy products, along with the other aspects at stake as FDA launched its Nutrition Innovation Strategy to determine – and stamp – healthy choices for consumers while taking steps to "modernize" standards of identity to "achieve nutritional goals."
The daylong FDA hearing on July 26 was one of several relating to these issues on the FDA docket, and as previously reported in Farmshine, dairy has taken center stage for several reasons.
First, Scott Gottlieb, head of the FDA, responded to calls for FDA to take a closer look at the dairy industry standards of identity, especially for milk. He opened the hearing saying that the agency must first determine "how consumers understand and use the term 'milk' to know if the inherent differences between these products is well understood by consumers so we can understand how consumers are being misled."
The public comments being received by FDA through August 27, are the first step in its multi-faceted approach.
Individual comments on any of these converging standards of identity issues and the Nutrition Innovation Strategy can be sent to FDA prior to the Aug. 27, 2018 deadline at the docket portal here.
Or, send to: Dockets Management Staff (HFA–305), Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20857.
The second aspect of this brief comment period is to discuss the standards of identity more broadly.
"We want to hear about changes in science to review and update," said Gottlieb. "We are hearing the standards of identity can cause the food industry to avoid reformulations that would reduce fat and calories. We want to gather this input and encourage out-of-the-box thinking with the bottom line helping consumers to identify healthier options."
We covered some of the testimony at FDA's July 26 listening session in Part One in Farmshine, Aug. 10, 2018.
Here, in Part Two, published in Farmshine August 17, 2018, are more of the elements from that hearing that are so important to know and understand…
Of particular interest on dairy product standards of identity were the hearing comments by Cary Frye, senior vice president of regulatory affairs for the International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA). She commended Commissioner Gottlieb for undertaking the Nutrition Innovation Strategy "to improve nutrition and health."
While absolutely silent on enforcement of milk's standard of identity, despite representing the nation's milk and dairy food processors, Frye said, "the key area we are working on is to modernize the standards of identity for dairy products, which make up more than one-third of the 280 standards of identity currently on the FDA books."
She said these standards "are outdated and stand in the way of innovations and novel processes. Current systems are not working and definitely need to be reformed."
Frye noted that the cheese standards have been unchanged while ultrafiltered milk processes have been around for 20 years. "Clearly a new approach is needed for processes like this to be used to create new and healthful products."
She said "processing milk by filtration to concentrate proteins and remove lactose is embraced around the world, but these new processes are not permitted in our dairy products with the current standards."
Frye did, however, thank the FDA for what she described as FDA's "recent guidance allowing ultrafiltered milk as an ingredient for cheeses."
"But the agency needs to go further and make dairy a top priority for modernized standards of identity," said Frye on behalf of IDFA. "We must incentify innovation. We can't make these investments if we must petition for standards that take decades to complete."
Along with standards, FDA wants to modernize label claims as a key element of the nutrition innovation strategy, to give consumers "quick signals" with important information on the nutritional benefits of food choices.
A key question FDA is looking at is: What claims best stimulate innovation to create products that are better choices?
Speakers at the hearing identified food trends, saying consumers are committed to a more balanced approach between nutrition and function, but also the idea of food, that it is part of how they experience life, with taste becoming more important to consumers than nutritional profile as they move away from "lowfat" foods.
(Unfortunately, this FDA strategy has not yet acknowledged there are health-related and nutritional reasons for consumers to move away from "lowfat" dogma of the past 30 to 40 years. My comment to the FDA docket will include sending by mail, a copy of The Big Fat Surprise, by Nina Teicholz, who will join me in sending copies of this book to FDA?)
As in many of these discussions, the generational shifts in food trends and choices are the most noticeable. Hearing presenters noted that millennials are pursuing "clean eating and natural foods" as more important than a nutrition-based label.
With that in mind, upholding and enforcing the current standards of identity for milk and dairy products becomes important since it is simple compared with concocted imitation formulations with long lists of ingredients unable to provide all of the nutrition milk has – naturally.
Hearing presenters also acknowledged that the declines in consumption of meat and dairy over the past 40 years have just begun to "shift back the other way." People are returning to the fresh perimeter of the grocery store.
(Again, no mystery here, FDA needs to read the book: The Big Fat Surprise)
With millennial food choices driven by a so-called "return to purity," my thoughts as I listened to the July 26 FDA Nutrition Innovation Strategy hearing is this: Will FDA move incrementally toward giving consumers what they want, while slipping into that desired food the science and innovation the FDA and food industry believe consumers need… in order to "get" the FDA 'healthy choice' stamp – however that is ultimately defined in this multi-year strategy and however it is ultimately designed for packaging?
These are big things to watch and participate in.
This is not to say that some new standards aren't needed. Rob Post for Chobani, testified that they produce a nutrient dense, healthy, strained Greek yogurt, but because no standard of identity exists for this type of yogurt, they are challenged to have standardized nutrition profiles "that account for the 52% protein content in Greek yogurt" when used in institutional feeding programs like the National School Lunch Program.
"Today's consumers have evolving demands and a new set of food values," said Post. "Health is important, but so are other values and drivers."
Others noted that the current standards of identity "do not allow lower salt content for cheese."
This could be an issue when it comes to nutritional cheese getting a 'healthy choice' FDA stamp in the future, if such stamps are based on what are now questionable low-salt directives for healthy eating.
"Standards are important because they assure the consistency of the product, its authenticity and nutrition," said Post.
Laura MacCleery, Policy Director, Center for Science in the Public Interest testified that, "Americans overconsume saturated fat." They are among the contingent of wanting to work on labeling to steer consumers away from saturated fat.
Meanwhile, the American Heart Association testified to FDA that they want the standards of identity "modernized to improve the nutritional value of food by reducing both sodium and saturated fat."
On the flipside, members of the dairy processing industry said they are looking for standards to be modernized to abolish the milk fat minimums and allow lower sodium on natural cheeses that currently have rigid standards of identity. Dairy processors testified that this is necessary to conform to the nutritional focal points of this discussion – salt and fat – that are still based on current dietary guidelines.
Will FDA grant these wishes and will we see lowfat and low salt cheeses introduced as "the real thing" because the standard has changed based on a dietary guideline many in the scientific community are already saying is a flawed guideline?
You can see the intertwined dilemma this FDA Nutrition Innovation Strategy could spawn.
Taste is king, according to the food processors speaking about low salt claims. They said they go ahead and formulate low salt varieties, they just are not always advertising it on the packaging space.
Will modernization of standards of identity low-salt and low-fat our food – our cheese for example — without our knowing it or being able to choose? Do we care if that happens as long as it tastes good? And how is that happening? With milk protein concentrates, given FDA's already loosened grip on allowable ingredients in cheese standards of identity?
A representative for Great Lakes Cheese spoke up to say that, "Consumer transparency around label claims and that presents a huge consumer perception issue. We are interested in experimenting to reduce sodium in cheeses, but without having to put a flag saying so on our product."
Without a change in standards, a low salt or low fat cheese would have to be labeled that way. If the fat and salt standards are abolished, no 'flag' is needed and consumers won't know the fat or salt is lowered – it just may taste different.
One question asked was "If our goal is to impact consumer behavior, how do we empower consumers to look for better choices by looking to the nutrition facts instead of making changes to do it for them (with modernized standards and healthy-choice stamps)?"
Part of this process is FDA's work to "update" the definition of "healthy" as a "voluntary" claim. What kind of symbol should be used, should it be by food group.
"What's healthy and not healthy shifts over time, and it's not the same for everyone. If you're putting a stamp on something today, you may have to take it off at some time down the road," said one hearing participant.
Dieticians were on the side of "one size doesn't fit all" when it comes to using FDA-sanctioned 'healthy' stamps or symbols on food labels. They preferred to see a focus on foods and food patterns more than specific nutrients.
In fact, one anonymous dietician has already commented on the public document online to say they have spent 30 years with government food programs and this is his or her observation over those 30 years: "We have done a great disservice to the public in trying to get people to eat 6 to 12 servings of carbohydrates per day while subsisting on a lowfat diet."
A participant from the Edge dairy farmer cooperative of 800 members in the Midwest (formerly Dairy Business Association Cooperative based in Wisconsin) said that, "Accurate labeling is the first step in FDA's enforcement of existing standards for milk, cheese, yogurt. High nutrition and taste have come to be expected," he said.
"Inaccurate labeling is not fair to farmers and their investment or to customers who may have been misled. We're encouraged by FDA's announcement and we encourage innovation in the dairy case to keep up with changing wants and needs with options for healthy products, but most people under-consume dairy products. We must have the flexibility to make what competes and to label innovative foods made with milk."

Where the land meets the sea at the southern tip of West Bengal lies the Indian Sunderbans, a stretch of impenetrable mangrove forest of great size and bio-diversity. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, theSunderbans is a vast area covering 4264 square km in India alone. The Indian Sunderbans forms the largest Tiger Reserve and National Park in India. A paradise for birdwatchers, the list includes such rarities as the Masked Finfoot, Mangrove Pitta and the Mangrove Whistler.
The Sunderbans are a part of the world's largest delta formed by the mighty rivers Ganges, Brahmaputra and Meghna. Situated on the lower end of the Gangetic West Bengal, it is also the world's largest estuarine forest. The Sunderbans is criss-crossed by hundreds of creeks and tributaries. It is one of the most attractive and alluring places remaining on earth, a truly undiscovered paradise.
Fascinating life forms await you in this largest estuarine delta in the world. In April and May, the flaming red leaves of the genwa edge the emerald islands. The crab-like red flowers of the kankara and the yellow blooms of khalsi add to the dazzling display. As you penetrate into the forests of Sunderbans, this fairyland unfolds its mysterious beauty.
The Sunderbans forest is home to more than 250 tigers. The Bengal Tigers have adapted themselves very well to the saline and aqua environs and are extremely good swimmers. As you enter the adventurous wild land of the Sunderbans you'll be thrilled to see the chital deer and rhesus monkey. The aqua fauna of Sunderbans include a variety of fishes, red fiddler crabs and hermit crabs.


Waldron's 300-gallon hybrid pot distillery equipment.
Blue Valley Spirits will be located at 207 Central Avenue in Kremmling once it opens later this year. The distillery will operate from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. Check them out on Instagram and Facebook by searching "Blue Valley Spirits".
Across Colorado's High Country the craft distillery industry is beginning to blossom and starting this summer Kremmling will become home to one of the state's newest makers of spirits.
Blue Valley Spirits is scheduled to open later this year in either late spring or early summer, according to the distillery's owner Jacob "Red" Waldron. The shop will be located in downtown Kremmling, on Central Avenue, in the same building as Grand Adventure Brewing Co. Waldron is renting and renovating roughly half of the building in which Grand Adventure Brewing is located with plans to install a 300-gallon hybrid pot still and four fermenting tanks. All told Waldron expects to be able to produce around 120 gallons of distilled liquor each week, which he hopes to begin distributing throughout north central Colorado.
Waldron is exactly the type of person you would expect to find running his own distillery. Born and raised in rolling hills of West Virginia, the laconic Waldron learned to make liquor from West Virginia moonshiners and has honed his craft on a small scale over the last several years. His moniker, Red, is derived from his auburn hair, most easily noticed in Waldron's large thick beard.
The married father of one young daughter moved to Colorado over a decade ago and took up residence in the Kremmling area about three years before starting his new venture. While he has long had an affinity for making spirits it was the state's burgeoning craft distillery industry that made him realize he needed to turn his passion into his profession.
Waldron said he has looked for space for a distillery for several years but it was not until he met Rick Reliford, owner of Grand Adventure Brewing Co., that he found the right opportunity.
Waldron is currently in the midst of a renovation project in the eastern front half of the building Grand Adventure Brewing occupies. Once completed the building will house both the brewery and the distillery, though the two businesses are separate entities.
Waldron's menu for this year includes Snow Mountain Vodka, Lily Gin – named after his daughter, Spring Creek White Whiskey and Ripsaw Rum. Waldron will also be producing a specialty product; an orange, cinnamon and clove spirit he calls Zodiac, named for the Zodiac View in the Gore Range. Waldron said he tends to prefer both whiskeys and rums as a distiller and plans to begin producing aged versions of both in Kremmling, though he cautioned that it would be at least two years before any of his aged products would become available.
Waldron plans to age his whiskey in white oak barrels for two years at a time. Once the whiskey is removed from the barrels Waldron will reuse the same barrels to make his aged rum. Most of the mashes that Waldron uses to make his spirits come from corn and rye while his rums are produced from molasses and brown sugar.
Waldron's business already includes one other employee and he said he plans to add a few more employees for in house help in the distillery and for sales.

San Francisco concealed carry law struck down.

My mistake. The court was in SF, but the decision was for San Diego county.
Lasjayhawk
This is a big deal for OC. Why? Simple the court ruled if you won't allow OC, you are going to have to shall issue CC permits.
If you want to be anal about CC permits, you have to allow OC.
DoomGoober
This seemed pretty self evident after the Illinois ruling: no concealed carry and no open carry = no carry at all.
Here's another analysis:
http://www.latimes.com/local/la-me-concealed-weapons-20140214,0,1930416.story#axzz2tu15jxiI
Will CA start issuing CC? Or will they just throw out AB1527 and AB144?

Oddly enough, the Orange County sheriff almost immediately issued a notice that CC permit requests should simply list "personal protection" as the justification for the permit. She did say that if a higher court ruled against this decision or the full circuit court decides to hear the case she would hold all pending permit requests until they ruled, but the gist of the notice was that as of now she was going to approve requests on a "shall issue" basis. She has until now been very anti-CC, so I can only speculate that she plans to follow the law regardless of her personal opinion. Yes, that's a common practice among LEOs.

So basically based on their reasoning for not appealing, is that they don't want it to go to the USSC and risk it becoming a national thing where all "may issue" states are forced to become "shall issue". My biggest gripe is that California still refuses to honor out of state permit holders and they refuse to issue non-resident permits.
I do honestly think that they should really do away with 2 specific things. #1 Do away with state level carry/concealed permits/licenses and make it a federal level license and #2 do away with state level driver's licenses and make those also federal level. And as an addition to the driver's license, do like Washington state does and make it so "enhanced licenses" can be issued so that you can easily cross the boarder to Canada or Mexico. I know that there are some fine details that need to be worked out for federal level licenses and such, but with proper negotiation, it's doable. Such as each state becomes "shall issue" but each state has the ability to limit open carry (for now and I know people here will disagree with this idea).

You are crazy,, or worse, to wish to federalize CC permits and DL's:uhoh:
and on tops of that,,, you think states should be free to restrict Open Carry?
This is A United STATES of America!!!

1245A Defender said:
really, it's not that hard to understand.
I live in Washington state, I get issued my CPL in Washington state, I can then travel anywhere in the country and all states have to honor my CPL. Some states do not allow open carry at all. Some states allow open carry as long as you have a CPL or similar permit/license while yet other states do in fact allow open carry even without a license/permit. None of this would change except the fact that all states must honor the CPL issued by Washington state or any other state for that matter. The only thing that may be added to this would be a uniform process and requirements for obtaining a permit/license.
As far as a driver's license, similar idea. If I live in Washington state but I move to another state, my driver's license would be honored till it expires and when it was time to renew, I wouldn't have to go through any further requirements to obtain a license in the new state other then the renewal requirements.
Again, these are just ideas. It's just a matter of streamlining the whole system so that each state is forced to respect rights and no state can be more strict then any other state regarding fundamental rights such as the 2nd amendment.

The issue isn't in the idea, but in the realistic application of said idea. Ignoring the desires of most for Constitutional Carry over Licensed Privileged Carry, you are wanting the Feds to force other states to honor said LPC Card. Well once they do that it is then that much easier for the Feds to try and "standardize" what is needed for LPC. From there they can then make it harder and harder for people to get an LPC Card, until it is realistically out of the reach of most citizens.
Now this obviously isn't what you desire. But that is the road you tread by giving the Feds more power over these things. Sure, while people you agree with are in office (or those you think are scared to take up said issue) it might not seem like it could happen, but there's no telling when the "right" people might get elected for a repeat of 1993 to happen. At which point you have basically handed them this issue on a silver platter. Instead we should be working to return power to the People as opposed to giving more to the feds. A better way of applying your idea would be Constitutional Carry being honored across all of the US. This would both achieve your fundamental idea (being able to carry in any state) AND would return power to the People instead of giving it to the feds.

Drawing inspiration from his dad's hard work, Hussain Sajwani managed to maintain forging a path in business, learning everything he could about real estate at a young age when his father had the chance to become involved, however watching his father run his view and pen shop drew him nearer to real estate since he saw higher opportunity.

Both property titans — that celebrated New Year's Eve collectively — have collaborated on the Trump International Golf Club, in which luxury villas have racked up nearly $2 billion in earnings. 1953 Hussain Sajwani is born to a middle-class household in Dubai.

According to https://aliqtisadi.com/, twenty-four hours prior to taking the oath of office, President Trump strutted into the presidential ballroom of the Trump International Hotel to toast congressional leaders, leading donors and the people he had picked to complete his Cabinet.

i was skeptical going into this film, but it turned out to be fairly decent. there really isn't much to this movie and they keep it simple. there's only like 3 filmed locations. lol, well that's what it seemed like. the beach, the hotel and then the ruins. not too much flash and little to no cgi either.
I just read the book (same author wrote A Simple Plan, BTW) and it was harrowing.
The "sacred Mayan ruins" was just a hill- possibly the site of an old mine of some sort- in the book...it's not explained in detail.
Now I might see the film but doubt it could be as brutal and depressing as the book.
I enjoyed it (6.5/10) .
Not a predictable horror-by-numbers affair, it had an unusual story, although the locals relationship with the bad thing should have been explored/explained more . Fot the most part, the characters reactions to their circumstances seemed plausible enough . Most of the scenes being in daylight was unusual, but worked, a bonus being better viewing of the gorgeous Laura Ramsey .
I just read the synopsis of the movie and they made some pretty big changes.
Not for the better, IMO.
Wow.. got pretty good reviews of you guys.
A friend recommended it so i grabbed it, will watch it later today.


I was sent a link to the Restaurant Report Card and just had to read it. You better believe I was suprised at a lot of the grades and information. I'm sure as you all know, I'm still working some baby weight off, so I've been paying more attention to what I put in my mouth especially at restaurants. I was amazed when I started looking at menus at how quickly the calories add up, especially in a place like Chipotle. Even if I got a salad, if I added the dressing, it would make it more calories than if I had a burrito and chips! They say knowledge is power, however, sometimes I look at the nutrition info, and I think to myself, "I dont really care how many calories, fat grams, etc...I want it anyway." That's almost worse than not knowing at all... Ok now to baby news. Zoe is becoming more vocal saying "ba ba" and "da da" a lot. She can clap and will play pat-a-cake with you. When you start singing the song she will mimic you. She still can't "roll it" yet but she can" toss it in oven" She has started mock waving. instead of waving she holds her hand out nad flips it palm up. Kinda weird, but whatever. She is also more devious than we orginally thought. I tried to get this on video, but I couldn't and I just had to post about it. Zoe is an enabler. Lately, she and Campbell have become really good friends. Zoe now knows how to open cabinets. We keep Campbell's treats in a lower cabinet that Zoe can now open. Well Campbell wanted a treat and stood by that cabinet. Zoe promptly crawled over to her, stood up, opened the cabinet doors, and knocked the can of treats on the floor for Campbell dog. Campbell grabbed the can and ran away. I'm sure we should have stopped her or told her no, but it was so funny. Ryan and I just watched in shock. Come a few more months and we're going to have a dangerous team on our hands. XOXO, Holly & Co.
Kodos to Ryan for the garden! What a fun idea! I've decided I'm going to attempt growing veggies and some herbs to help save on groceries! Wish me luck. Also, I was just laughing at the dynamic duo story! That is hilarious! What a cutie! I need to see you and we need to do a scrapbooking night... over video cam... LOVE YOU!
We went to your ward a few weeks ago and missed you!! I can't believe how big Zoe is getting! We should get together soon!

News Government appoints Reserve Bank directors
Government appoints Reserve Bank directors
Finance Minister Bill English announced two new appointments to the Reserve Bank's board of directors today.
They are Christchurch consultant and professional director Sue Sheldon, who will begin on May 1 and Wellington consultant and professional director Keith Taylor, who will begin on July 1.
"In consideration of the skill set needed for a top performing Reserve Bank board, the government has looked for new directors with particular accounting and financial knowledge," Mr English said.
"Sue Sheldon is a chartered accountant and brings a wealth of experience as a director across a diverse range of organisations including state-owned enterprises and private sector companies such as Freightways, Contact Energy, Smith City Group, and the Wool Industry Network.
"Keith Taylor has an insurance industry background having been the chief executive and chief financial officer of the publicly-listed company Tower. He also has experience as a director of the Earthquake Commission, Government Superannuation Fund Authority, and is a Member of the Takeovers Panel. "
The main role of the Reserve Bank's board is to review the performance of the governor and the bank, including whether monetary policy is meeting the government's policy targets.
"I'm confident these new directors have the skills necessary to help the bank fulfil its duty of meeting its targets and promoting and maintaining a sound and efficient financial system," Mr English said.
The board normally consists of seven non-executive directors plus the governor. The new directors replace Marilyn Waring who completed a five-year term in February and Paul Baines, who leaves in June after two terms.

Piano Music Books | Keyboard Music Books
By: Johann Sebastian Bach
The renowned Bach-Gesellschaft, founded in 1850 to collect, edit, and publish all the known works of J. S. Bach, devoted fifty years to its monumental task. It succeeded so well in tracking down Bach's heritage, establishing authenticity, and transcribing accurate texts that it still remains the primary source for Bach's music., Unfortunately, it has always been a fantastically expensive publication, accessible only in the largest libraries.
This volume reprints in full, directly from the Bach-Gesellschaft volumes, important keyboard music. It contains the full texts of the Six English Suites, the Six French Suites, Six Partitas from the Clavierübung, the Goldberg Variations, and the Two- and Three-Part Inventions and Sinfonias,
The music has been reproduced in large, clear type, directly from the original editions, for maximum clarity. Designed as a playing edition, it will be a necessary book to every performer on the harpsichord or piano, every music student and musicologist, as well as to serious music listeners.

SBI, HDFC, ICICI, Along With Other 12 To Join Forces To Use Blockchain
Ayushi Mehta· June 17, 2021
The issue of processing the Letters of Credit, or otherwise known as LC, is one of the traditional problems in the banking sector in the company, especially the banks who perform traditional banking.
The LCs are the letters from the bank that assure and guarantee the sellers that the buyer will pay them on time, with the correct amount of money.
The current situation and the process of issuing an LC is relatively very slow. It requires human intervention to prevent frauds, authenticate transactions, and balance the ledger, which has to be done manually.
For the exact same reason to make the process of issuing an LC faster and easier, several banks in India are coming together to make use of the Blockchain technology. The new technology will solve the problems of the traditional banking, which involves processing of Letters of Credit, GST invoices, and e-way bills.
Making use of the new blockchain technology for issuing LCs would potentially solve all the issues the central issues faced by the banks in their system. It will also solve elemental fraud and other issues like issuing two LCs on a single invoice.
A total of 15 banks have agreed to make use of the blockchain technology to overcome these central problems in the banking system.
The State Bank Of India (SBI), which is perhaps the largest public sector bank in the country, along with other banks like HDFC Bank, ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Kotak Mahindra Bank, RBL Bank, along with 9 other banks in the country are forming a new company which will go by the name of Indian Banks' Blockchain Infrastructure Company Private Limited (IBBIC), that will help a great deal in handling the transactions like LC issuing and making GST invoices, etc.
The bringing of the new technology in the country will supposedly eliminate most of the paperwork. It will also reduce the time taken for the transactions and the time taken by it for its processing. This will not only secure the transacting environment but can also be a big boon for the medium and small-scale enterprises (MSMEs) in the country.
Varun Bakshi, Head of Products and Transaction Banking at the RBL Bank, in one of his statements said- "Disbursements on domestic LCs, which used to take four to five days, can be done in four hours."
This new system of blockchain will expectedly go live within almost a year. Each bank on the list will have an equal share of stakeholdership, of an exact of 6.66%. The stake holder deal will make it seamless for any other bank to join the deal any time in the near future.

We've not covered the benefits of grabbing a quick half hour power nap in the middle of your work day. But what would you say if I told you that one whole hour per week can save you endless stress and insanity?
You no doubt have an incredible busy life and a to-do list a mile long. And the longer it gets, the harder it is to get anything done. As you add new tasks, it doesn't necessarily mean you will be able to give each the proper attention they need.
That's why it's so crucial to give yourself one hour each week for a sanity check-in. It gives you time to get a pulse on all your To-Dos in front of you at once, take stock of the big picture, and keep track of everything that's on your plate. It also gives you the time to think about how you can work smarter and more efficiently through that list, instead of slaving away everyday.
Schedule a recurring event on your calendar every week, whether on your online calendar (I recommend Google Calendar) or a paper one, preferably an hour or two. Then dedicate that time to getting yourself organized for the week ahead and ensuring that nothing is slipping through the cracks. This could mean organizing your tasks, making lists of people you need to follow up with, arranging your priorities so you can always focus on the tasks that are most important – whatever you need to do at that time to get your head and vision back on straight.
What can you do to improve your work sanity with one hour a week? Schedule yourself some time and try it out – and then let me know how it goes!
And don't forget to subscribe to my email list!
If the Offbeat Breathing exercise I went over in my last post doesn't work for you, try simply taking a quick cat nap. It may not seem easy to take a nap in the middle of the day, but if you time it just right, a quick nap can boost your productivity more than you'd think. I've told you about the mid-day slump between 1:00 and 3:00 PM in the afternoon. Well this also happens to be the best time for a power nap.
You should keep it to about 15 to 25 minutes for maximum benefit. Any longer than 30 minutes, and your brain will start to fall into the deeper REM cycle that will make you feel groggier when you wake back up.
Try this snazzy trick to get in a quick, concise power nap. Drink a cup of coffee or caffeinated tea (whichever you prefer), then immediately lie down in a dark quiet room and take your nap. The caffeine you drank will kick in about 20-30 minutes later, waking you up with a nice boost of energy. You'll feel refreshed and ready to jump back into productive mode.
As many people have found, a well-timed nap has all types of benefits, including boosting your memory, your cognitive ability, and enhancing your overall performance. In short, a power nap gives you more power. That's why they call it that (I assume, I really don't know much about how "they" think).
Now finding the right time of day for your power nap is a bit more complicated than just when you feel tired. The particular timing of your perfect power nap depends on the time you woke up in the morning. So try using this interactive nap wheel to help you identify the right time for you.
The power nap may perhaps be one of the laziest way to boost your productivity, but it's certainly effective. And when done right, you'll wake feeling rejuvenated and more powerful.
Questions? Comments? Absurd Ideas? Please comment below and tell me how you take your power naps, and if you find them an effective way to rejuvenate.
And don't forget to subscribe to our list!
In my last post, I gave you some tips on how to trigger those happy feelings that keep you going. But if your work day is just too often interrupted with negative triggers and unavoidable frantic or spazzy feelings, it may be time to take a beat, get out of your skin and off your beaten path, and take a breather break.
I used to get panic attacks on a regular basis. Years ago when I was still working in a corporate office, chugging away at that old familiar 9-5 job, I developed anxiety disorder and found myself taking frequent trips to the bathroom to panic, hyperventilate, and often throw up.
Now you may not have quite the same intensity of symptoms, but I know we all face a little frantic overwhelm from time to time. So if you've ever felt this on some level, and wondered what to do, let me try to share some of my favorite practices and advice to help get you back on the Productive bandwagon with minimal energy and time wasted.
You've probably tried deep, slow breathing to calm yourself down. But there's actually a more useful technique I've found — one that can reduce stress, decrease pain, increase concentration, prevent panic attacks, and even stop headaches.
Here's what you do: Breathe in while you count to 4. Exhale while you count to eight. Repeat for at least a minute. In for 4, out for 8.
Why it works: Breathing at this rhythm increases your "heart rate variability." That means there are slight differences in the length of time between your heart beats, from one beat to the next. The more variation, the better. High heart rate variability protects against stress, anxiety, inflammation and pain. So think of this exercise as your own personal army that can help protect you from the negative feelings and stresses that threaten to slow you down.
Next time you're feeling anxious or angry or just plain unmotivated, try this slightly more structured breathing exercise, and see if you can feel the difference in your heart's rhythm. It just might be the key to helping you get your mind off those negative triggers and anxious feelings, and realigned with your heart's true rhythm and inspiration.

I've shared with you my personal 11 Productivity Tactics to help you find greater clarity and energy around achieving your goals. But in my own journey, I've stumbled upon some useful tips from others that have proved equally valuable, and sometimes also excessively amusing. This particular tip hit on both of those, and so naturally caught my special attention. In fact, it was just hilarious and original enough that I knew I had to share it with you.
Here's the secret – looking at cute baby animals can actually improve your concentration and productivity!
Apparently, there was a study conducted by Hiroshima University in Japan which found that looking at positive images triggers positive emotions (well that seems pretty obvious). But then they took it a step further to understand which kinds of positive images prompted which kinds of emotions and behaviors. After experimenting with various pleasant images, including cute animals and yummy foods, they concluded that the cute baby animals had the most significant affect. In fact, these particular images of baby animals gave the participants a narrowed attentional focus induced by the cuteness-triggered positive emotion. They found that the participants were able to perform tasks requiring focused attention more carefully after viewing the cute images.
The conclusion? In short, cute images increase concentration. After looking at cute animals, these participants increased their performance in concentration tasks by an astounding 44 percent.
Caring for babies (nurturance) not only involves tender treatments but also requires careful attention to the targets' physical and mental states as well as vigilance against possible threats to the targets. If viewing cute things makes the viewer more attentive, the performance of a non-motor perceptual task would also be improved.
Do you agree? I think it has some merit for sure. And while it's an unusual study, it does echo of similar theories, such as that temptations like reality TV and cute YouTube videos are conducive to productivity as well.
So next time you are feeling a little tired or unmotivated, take a few minutes to do a quick search and pull up some photos of your favorite baby animals. Then just let yourself soak in their cuteness for a spell, and see what happens! It might just be the key you were looking for to help you power through those less enjoyable tasks on your To Do list, and get back to focusing on your creative work that much faster.

Application Brief: Microbial whole genome sequencing – Best Practices
With Single Molecule, Real-Time (SMRT) Sequencing and the Sequel Systems, you can affordably assemble reference-quality microbial genomes that are >99.999% (Q50) accurate.
Comparative genome analysis of Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis strains provides insights into genetic diversity and virulence.
Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis (Cmm) is a gram positive actinomycete, causing bacterial canker of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) a disease that can cause significant losses in tomato production. In this study, we determined the complete genome sequence of 13 California Cmm strains and one saprophytic Clavibacter strain using a combination of Ilumina and PacBio sequencing. The California Cmm strains have genome size (3.2 -3.3 mb) similar to the reference strain NCPPB382 (3.3 mb) with =98% sequence identity. Cmm strains from California share =92% genes (8-10% are noble genes) with the reference Cmm strain NCPPB382. Despite this similarity, we detected significant alternatives…
Complete microbial genomes, epigenomes, and transcriptomes using long-read PacBio Sequencing.
For comprehensive metabolic reconstructions and a resulting understanding of the pathways leading to natural products, it is desirable to obtain complete information about the genetic blueprint of the organisms used. Traditional Sanger and next-generation, short-read sequencing technologies have shortcomings with respect to read lengths and DNA-sequence context bias, leading to fragmented and incomplete genome information. The development of long-read, single molecule, real-time (SMRT) DNA sequencing from Pacific Biosciences, with >10,000 bp average read lengths and a lack of sequence context bias, now allows for the generation of complete genomes in a fully automated workflow. In addition to the genome sequence,…
Chlorella vulgaris genome assembly and annotation reveals the molecular basis for metabolic acclimation to high light conditions.
Chlorella vulgaris is a fast-growing fresh-water microalga cultivated at the industrial scale for applications ranging from food to biofuel production. To advance our understanding of its biology and to establish genetics tools for biotechnological manipulation, we sequenced the nuclear and organelle genomes of Chlorella vulgaris 211/11P by combining next generation sequencing and optical mapping of isolated DNA molecules. This hybrid approach allowed to assemble the nuclear genome in 14 pseudo-molecules with an N50 of 2.8 Mb and 98.9% of scaffolded genome. The integration of RNA-seq data obtained at two different irradiances of growth (high light-HL versus low light -LL) enabled…
Potent LpxC Inhibitors with In Vitro Activity Against Multi-Drug Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
New drugs with novel mechanisms of resistance are desperately needed to address both community and nosocomial infections due to Gram-negative bacteria. One such potential target is LpxC, an essential enzyme that catalyzes the first committed step of Lipid A biosynthesis. Achaogen conducted an extensive research campaign to discover novel LpxC inhibitors with activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa We report here the in vitro antibacterial activity and pharmacodynamics of ACHN-975, the only molecule from these efforts and the first ever LpxC inhibitor to be evaluated in Phase 1 clinical trials. In addition, we describe the profile of three additional LpxC inhibitors that…
Genomic analysis of Marinobacter sp. NP-4 and NP-6 isolated from the deep-sea oceanic crust on the western flank of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
Two Marinobacter sp. NP-4 and NP-6 were isolated from a deep oceanic basaltic crust at North Pond, located at the western flank of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. These two strains are capable of using multiple carbon sources such as acetate, succinate, glucose and sucrose while take oxygen as a primary electron acceptor. The strain NP-4 is also able to grow anaerobically under 20?MPa, with nitrate as the electron acceptor, thus represents a piezotolerant. To explore the metabolic potentials of Marinobacter sp. NP-4 and NP-6, the complete genome of NP-4 and close-to-complete genome of NP-6 were sequenced. The genome of NP-4 contains…
Complete genome sequence provides insights into the quorum sensing-related spoilage potential of Shewanella baltica 128 isolated from spoiled shrimp.
Shewanella baltica 128 is a specific spoilage organism (SSO) isolated from the refrigerated shrimp that results in shrimp spoilage. This study reported the complete genome sequencing of this strain, with the primary annotations associated with amino acid transport and metabolism (8.66%), indicating that S. baltica 128 has good potential for degrading proteins. In vitro experiments revealed Shewanella baltica 128 could adapt to the stress conditions by regulating its growth and biofilm formation. Genes that related to the spoilage-related metabolic pathways, including trimethylamine metabolism (torT), sulfur metabolism (cysM), putrescine metabolism (speC), biofilm formation (rpoS) and serine protease production (degS), were identified.…
Genome sequence analysis of 91 Salmonella Enteritidis isolates from mice caught on poultry farms in the mid 1990s.
A total of 91 draft genome sequences were used to analyze isolates of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis obtained from feral mice caught on poultry farms in Pennsylvania. One objective was to find mutations disrupting open reading frames (ORFs) and another was to determine if ORF-disruptive mutations were present in isolates obtained from other sources. A total of 83 mice were obtained between 1995-1998. Isolates separated into two genomic clades and 12 subgroups due to 742 mutations. Nineteen ORF-disruptive mutations were found, and in addition, bigA had exceptional heterogeneity requiring additional evaluation. The TRAMS algorithm detected only 6 ORF disruptions. The…
Rapid transcriptional responses to serum exposure are associated with sensitivity and resistance to antibody-mediated complement killing in invasive Salmonella Typhimurium ST313
Background: Salmonella Typhimurium ST313 exhibits signatures of adaptation to invasive human infection, including higher resistance to humoral immune responses than gastrointestinal isolates. Full resistance to antibody-mediated complement killing (serum resistance) among nontyphoidal Salmonellae is uncommon, but selection of highly resistant strains could compromise vaccine-induced antibody immunity. Here, we address the hypothesis that serum resistance is due to a distinct genotype or transcriptome response in S. Typhimurium ST313.
Complete Genome Sequence of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans IC1, a Sulfonate-Respiring Anaerobe.
We report the complete genome sequence of the anaerobic, sulfonate-respiring, sulfate-reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio desulfuricans IC1. The genome was assembled into a single 3.25-Mb circular chromosome with 2,680 protein-coding genes identified. Sequencing of sulfonate-metabolizing anaerobes is key for understanding sulfonate degradation and its role in the sulfur cycle.Copyright © 2019 Day et al.
A draft nuclear-genome assembly of the acoel flatworm Praesagittifera naikaiensis.
Acoels are primitive bilaterians with very simple soft bodies, in which many organs, including the gut, are not developed. They provide platforms for studying molecular and developmental mechanisms involved in the formation of the basic bilaterian body plan, whole-body regeneration, and symbiosis with photosynthetic microalgae. Because genomic information is essential for future research on acoel biology, we sequenced and assembled the nuclear genome of an acoel, Praesagittifera naikaiensis.To avoid sequence contamination derived from symbiotic microalgae, DNA was extracted from embryos that were free of algae. More than 290x sequencing coverage was achieved using a combination of Illumina (paired-end and mate-pair…
Genomic and transcriptomic characterization of Pseudomonas aeruginosa small colony variants derived from a chronic infection model.
Phenotypic change is a hallmark of bacterial adaptation during chronic infection. In the case of chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa lung infection in patients with cystic fibrosis, well-characterized phenotypic variants include mucoid and small colony variants (SCVs). It has previously been shown that SCVs can be reproducibly isolated from the murine lung following the establishment of chronic infection with mucoid P. aeruginosa strain NH57388A. Using a combination of single-molecule real-time (PacBio) and Illumina sequencing we identify a large genomic inversion in the SCV through recombination between homologous regions of two rRNA operons and an associated truncation of one of the 16S rRNA…
DNA methylation from a Type I restriction modification system influences gene expression and virulence in Streptococcus pyogenes.
DNA methylation is pervasive across all domains of life. In bacteria, the presence of N6-methyladenosine (m6A) has been detected among diverse species, yet the contribution of m6A to the regulation of gene expression is unclear in many organisms. Here we investigated the impact of DNA methylation on gene expression and virulence within the human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes, or Group A Streptococcus. Single Molecule Real-Time sequencing and subsequent methylation analysis identified 412 putative m6A sites throughout the 1.8 Mb genome. Deletion of the Restriction, Specificity, and Methylation gene subunits (?RSM strain) of a putative Type I restriction modification system lost all…
Genomic characterization of Kerstersia gyiorum SWMUKG01, an isolate from a patient with respiratory infection in China.
The Gram-negative bacterium Kerstersia gyiorum, a potential etiological agent of clinical infections, was isolated from several human patients presenting clinical symptoms. Its significance as a possible pathogen has been previously overlooked as no disease has thus far been definitively associated with this bacterium. To better understand how the organism contributes to the infectious disease, we determined the complete genomic sequence of K. gyiorum SWMUKG01, the first clinical isolate from southwest China.The genomic data obtained displayed a single circular chromosome of 3, 945, 801 base pairs in length, which contains 3, 441 protein-coding genes, 55 tRNA genes and 9 rRNA genes.…
Integrated transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of pathogenic mycobacteria and their esx-1 mutants reveal secretion-dependent regulation of ESX-1 substrates and WhiB6 as a transcriptional regulator.
The mycobacterial type VII secretion system ESX-1 is responsible for the secretion of a number of proteins that play important roles during host infection. The regulation of the expression of secreted proteins is often essential to establish successful infection. Using transcriptome sequencing, we found that the abrogation of ESX-1 function in Mycobacterium marinum leads to a pronounced increase in gene expression levels of the espA operon during the infection of macrophages. In addition, the disruption of ESX-1-mediated protein secretion also leads to a specific down-regulation of the ESX-1 substrates, but not of the structural components of this system, during growth…


Damn. We were in Hong Kong a few months back and now this story breaks! The price seems extortionate to us since even the most expensive phones are rarely more than US$1000 in Hong Kong (unlike Europe there is no such thing as a carrier subsidy there). Even so, we expect they will sell out in minutes given that 'keeping up with the Joneses' is almost a national pastime in most of China.
The iPhone was able to take non-AT&T SIM cards (the one demonstrated here is the Hong Kong CSL network), you can dial out and pick up calls without a problem (video here, dialing 1083 for local weather report). EDGE is also supported, so are the messaging services. However we don't know if the SIM and voicemail services are supported properly.


Small businesses are a huge part of the UK with a third of us working for companies with less than 10 employees. With such low staff numbers, these companies are often overlooked by the recruitment world, despite being some of the most interesting and innovative places to work.
As fixed price recruitment emerged, everybody focused on the high-volume hiring but nobody seemed to care about what this could do for small businesses.
Small businesses can have amazingly vibrant personalities. They have the quirks and differences that large organisations often can't hold onto, along with innovative ideas and exciting products and services. These can make your company a really attractive place to work and make finding passionate, skilled workers easy. By using job boards and social media to advertise your role, you can let your brand shine and compete with the big companies for the best talent.
One of the biggest stresses that recruiting can bring is handling all the applications once they've come in. You get CV after CV in different formats, in different locations with obscure file names and no way of tracking which ones you've looked at and what you thought of them. You've then got to contact each person (even if it's just to reject them) and you haven't even interviewed anybody yet!
With our Applicant Tracking Software you can clearly and easily see every application as they come in. Search them with ease, add comments for later, mark a shortlist, send template emails en masse and login from anywhere. You'll never look back and with every campaign you book with us, we give you access - FREE!
Even if you're only hiring one person, fixed price is still a fraction of the cost of traditional agencies. Hiring more people? Then the savings keep on coming! Talk to Omnio today about the best service for you.

Students from Ave Maria at March for Life
Published on Thursday, 22 January 2015 19:58
By bus and plane, hundreds of students from Ave Maria University, the Donahue Academy and the AVe Maria School of Law went to Washington, D.C., to participate in the annual March for Life marking the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion.
The largest Ave Maria contingent was from Ave Maria University, where 165 students boarded buses late Tuesday afternoon for the overnight trip to the nation's capital. Many more AMU students went to Washington by other means, said the university Vice President of Student Affairs, Julie Cosden. (Right, part of the AMU contingent. Below, the AMU banner was shown on the Fox News Channel).
Buses arrive back at AMU Friday morning.
Eight students and four chaperones from the Donahue Academy flew up, as did about 30 students and faculty at the Ave Maria School of Law in Naples.
