Washington produces apples, dairy products, wheat, cattle and calves, and potatoes as its top agricultural products. It has varied landscapes including wilderness, mountains, farmland and deserts. The climate ranges from record lows of -48F to highs of 118F with average yearly precipitation of 38 inches. It was the first state to have a municipal monorail in Seattle and is the only state named after a president, being the 18th largest state.

The Green Revolution was based on the spread of new wheat H.Y.V.s from Mexico and rice from the Philippines. It was the result of an intensive plant breeding programme that relied on brilliant applied science and some luck which indeed saved the lives of one billion people. But the task of feeding the world will be even more difficult in years to come. By 2050 the world’s population will exceed nine billion, and combined environmental crises mean that we must produce much more food on less land with less water, fewer agrochemicals and less fossil fuel, while still maintaining biodiversity (Conway and Toenniessen, 1999).
The pioneering work of Marc Van Montagu, Mary-Dell Chilton, and Robert Fraley contributed to the emergence of a new term, "agricultural biotechnology," and set the stage for second green revolution with novel traits (world food prize, 2017). However, over regulation is hindering its adoption, especially in agriculture. Field trials for 21 GM food crops, including GM vegetables and cereals have been approved by the government though commercial cultivation of GM food has not been permitted by any State government in India till now (Vidya Venkat, 2016). Currently, India has the world’s fifth largest GM crop acreage surpassing China’s 3.9 million hectares (mh), while equaling that of Canada’s 13.1 mh (ISAAA, 2017). There have been dramatic increases in the total acreage planted. soybeans (50%), Corn (30%), cotton (14%) and canola (5%) are the major biotech crops grown commercially on a large scale and have become an integral part of international agricultural production and trade.
Biotechnologies, from traditional breeding methods to genetic manipulation in the laboratory, have been shown to have both positive and negative potentialities. Scientists have a responsibility for the knowledge and technical innovations that they produce but the outcomes mainly depend upon economic, political and social factors. It seems essential that individual governments and the international community regulate both the science and the commercial applications.
Marsh v Baxter, Kojonup to Canberra: Foresight, Hindsight and Insightjohnpaull
In the case of Marsh and Baxter, the facts were agreed but their interpretation was not and this proved fatal to the case. This was a dispute between two farmer neighbours at Kojonup, Western Australia. When the GMO moratorium was lifted in WA, Baxter promptly planted Monsanto GM canola along his border with his organic neighbour. Marsh had previously warned Baxter that the organic certification of the Marsh farm was at risk if it was contaminated by an incursion of GM canola. The foreseen incursion eventuated and the certifier (NASAA) withdrew the organic certification. Marsh sued Baxter. The parties agreed that the Marsh loss was $85,000. The case (for nuisance and negligence) was lost in the Supreme Court of Western Australia, the WA Court of Appeals, and eventually the High Court of Australia. The cumulative costs of this litigation will exceed $2 million. Monsanto indemnified the GM farmer, whereas the costs put the livelihood of the organic farmer at risk. The case offers no evidence that organic/GM co-existence is viable, and no confidence that current law provides any protection for organic farming from GM contamination or predatory planting.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
