The Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau, contravened some conflict of interest rules when he accepted a vacation last year on a private island belonging to the Aga Khan, the country's ethics watchdog said on Wednesday.
The conflict of interest and ethics commissioner, Mary Dawson, said Trudeau contravened a rule on gifts when he accepted the use of the island in March and December 2016, while there were ongoing official dealings with the Aga Khan and the Aga Khan Foundation Canada was registered to lobby Trudeau's office.
"The vacations accepted by Mr Trudeau or his family could reasonably be seen to have been given to influence Mr Trudeau in his capacity as prime minister," Dawson said.
While Trudeau says the Aga Khan is a family friend, Dawson found the exception for gifts from friends did not apply.
Trudeau said he accepted her report and would clear future vacations with the watchdog.
"I take full responsibility for it. We need to make sure that the office of the prime minister is without reproach," Trudeau said.
Trudeau and his family vacationed on the island in late December 2016 into January this year, while members of his family and their guests traveled there in March 2016.
Trudeau has come under fire from the opposition, who have said the luxury Bahamas vacation was inappropriate and showed the Liberal government is out of touch with average Canadians.
The opposition has also accused Finance Minister Bill Morneau of being in a conflict of interest for not putting his assets in a blind trust. He has since said he will do so and has divested his stock in his family business.
Trudeau has said he has known the Aga Khan, Prince Shah Karim Al Husseini, since childhood. The Aga Khan, the title held by the leader of the Ismaili branch of Shi'a Islam, was a pallbearer at the funeral of Justin's father, former prime minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau.
Trudeau also contravened the rules when he and his family travelled in the Aga Khan's private helicopter last December and when his family traveled on a non-commercial aircraft chartered by the Aga Khan in March 2016, Dawson said.
Trudeau also went against the rules by not recusing himself from discussions that "provided an opportunity to further private interests associated with institutions of the Aga Khan", the investigation found.
However, Trudeau did not discuss any parliamentary business with the Aga Khan or his representatives, the report said.

I do not think it would be inappropriate to say that cancer patients are a cancer in our society. They walk around like they own the place, with their smug little bald heads and their special parking privileges. You want me to feel sorry for you because you are sick? Sorry, but it is you who sickens me. If you didn't want to have cancer then why did you get it in the first place? And now you want me to buy one of your bracelets? I don't want a bracelet, cancer boy, I want to be able to read a newspaper without reading about your melanoma. Oh there was a new cancer drug invented recently that offers hope to those living with the disease? I could not care less. More information on the fallout from the Michael Jackson trial and less about cancer please.
Now I know what you're going to say, and I've heard it before. "Cancer patients are innocent victims. They did nothing to contract the disease and they only want to be cured and live a normal life." First of all, that is bullshit, and moreover, that is bullshit. Every cancer patient out there has engaged in some sort of behavior that put them at risk for cancer, and they did so willingly. Let's take smokers. Smokers smoke. Smoking causes cancer. Is it hard to link their choices and their cancer-patient status? No. I think it is safe to say we can all agree that smokers have it coming. What about other cancer patients, like those who suffer from skin cancer? Well sun is known to cause skin cancer, and they have all been willingly exposed to the sun. Perhaps you didn't think that that trip to the beach would lead to cancer, but it did. Deal with it. You are not a victim you are merely reaping what you sow.
"But wait, Ben," you might say, because you are a jackass. "What about children with leukemia or other forms of cancer? You can't possibly blame them for contracting it can you?" My response to you is "No. I could not possibly NOT blame them." The fact is that we live in a world where we know of many things that cause cancer. Bread causes cancer. Too much sunlight, not enough sunlight, pollution in the air, pollution in the food we eat, artificial sweeteners, sugar, and love are all known causes of cancer. If you can't keep away from those things then you deserve your fate. So-called Leukemia victims were all breathers, breathers to a man. Maybe if they hadn't breathed so much they wouldn't have gotten sick and they wouldn't be whining about it. Most of them ate bread and loved their mothers. If you eat bread and love your mother there is only one predictable outcome, and that is cancer. Those of us who avoided such shenanigans are healthy, you are not, you are dying of cancer. Maybe that'll make you think twice about having another sandwich or giving mom a hug in the next life.
The cancer patients want us to feel sorry for them but it is they who should feel sorry for us. While they are living the cushy cancer patient life in the finest of hospitals we are footing the bill for expensive research and treatment options to give to them. This is the greatest boondoggle in government history but nobody wants to talk about it. They just want to feel sorry for the cancer patients. Here is my opinion on the matter. I chose not to get cancer, you chose, through your actions, to get cancer. Why should money be taken out of my paycheck or stock profits to pay for your treatment? I need that money. I have better uses for it. Cancer treatment costs the average American over one dollar in tax revenue every year. That is a dollar I could spend on delicious gum, but instead the federal government steals it from me and spends it on cancer. Can we really tolerate the taking of our gum money for cancer patients and continue to call ourselves a free society?
No, we cannot.
In this world everyone deserves exactly what he gets. There is no such thing as a bad break, there is only action and consequence. Cancer patients want to break this simple chain of cause and effect and claim that they were unlucky. They were not unlucky, they were immoral and now they are bald. Bald as a cue ball. It is my hope that some day we will recognize cancer patients for the selfish self-involved drains on society that they are. If there were a ribbon devoted to showing that, that would be a ribbon I would wear. Until then all I can say is stay out of my way if you know what's good for you, baldie. I have gum to buy.

This week brought with it the release of Madonna's 14th studio album 'Madame X.'
Despite today's era of surprise drops, the Pop royal opted for a semi-traditional roll-out, working the project for a number of months and supporting with a series of videos and high-profile performances.
One unanticipated aspect of the campaign was the worldwide theater tour the arena-packer announced.
Many assumed the 60-year-old would embrace stadiums, as she certainly has the clout to and would benefit from the increasingly popular bundling method that's helped many a major name triumph on the charts.
While she's did indeed package tickets with the LP, the scale of the tour (or lackthere-of) left many wondering what those first week sales would look like.
Well, wonder no more. Because the predictions are in. Join us after the jump…
According to Hits Daily Double, Madge's 'Medellin' led set is on course to sell…
[Sales Plus Streaming]
[Pure Sales]
Factoring in the nature of the tour bundle (limited) and the album's lack of charting hit, we're actually positively surprised.
'Madame X' is far from our favorite body of work and will have its work cut out for it when it comes to longevity, but it's doing decent business out of the gate. Right?

Loma Prieta Earthquake Stories
Having only lived in California for a year, I was quite proud of myself for feeling the earthquake and jumping up into my bedroom doorway. That naive pride quickly switched to nervous panic as I became worried that my house was going to come down. I steadied myself against the moving walls as I moved down the stairs toward the front door. When the quake started I remember thinking how amazing that this earthquake is strong enough to move my entire house. From the front door I was shocked to look down the street and see the asphalt as it appeared to be moving in waves. As I play that image back in my mind so many years later, I reason that maybe it was an optical illusion caused by swaying utility wires, or the rocking cars; but at the time I know I told everyone that I watched 21st Avenue move like waves on the water. The quake slowed, and I realized that I would not need to jump clear of my falling house. Next door there were bricks littering the sidewalk where the front of the basement had come off. I rode my bike around the neighborhood and up the hill to get a better view of the City. That's when I was able to see smoke coming from the Marina District. That evening, I cleaned up the toppled shelves best I could before a powerless darkness settled over our house. I thought the neighborhood would be as quiet as it was dark, but I was wrong. The Blarney Stone, our corner bar, was alight with candles and nervous camaraderie. The refrigerators were off and it seems nobody wanted to see the beer get cold.

The Loma Prieta earthquake, which occurred on October 17, 1989, is the most recent large earthquake to strike the San Francisco Bay Area.

Trupanion was a free trial when we first got our puppy. She is a basset hound. Little did we know we would be needing to use this insurance as soon as we did. Sara had 8 extra teeth that needed to be removed to allow room for her regular teeth to grow in properly. Trupanion was there to pay for the special Vet Dentist to do the surgery. She also has stomach problems and we are constonatly putting her on medication for that and special food to try and figure out what is causing it. Again Trupanion was there to help us through this time. Sara is only 8 months old and if we had to pay for all the medical bills so far ourselves it would be close to $5000.00 but Trupanion has been by our side helping us and caring about Sara as much as us. I would recommend this insurance for any new pet owner. They are so fast at sending the reimbursement or paying the vet which ever the case may be.

The sale of food by the chinese Eateries has undergone the full cycle in North America, Europe and Australia.
When the first Chinese workers came over the Chinese Eatery served to bring to the hungry men what they would eat if they were home. The basic noodle dish with a little bit of meat sustained many for a long time.
The noodle captured the attention of foreigners and soon they discovered the subtle taste of Chinese cooking and became addicted, leading to the place of Chinese food as one of the most popular items in the taste of non-Chinese. In time the food became more and more what the non-Chinese customer wanted.
The rise of the wealthy Chinese tourist has revived the standard of Chinese working outside of China. This book serves the purpose of teaching the non-Chinese how to please the Chinese diner and to please him with that unique blend of Chinese cooking styles, using non-Chinese ingredients, in a non-Chinese kitchen and serving Chinese customers from China.
It has been a long learning journey to come so far but the end of the chinese Eatery bringing everything edible to the world has been reached.

Since 2006, the U.S. Government has offered a Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC), a credit of 30% of the costs of installing a solar energy system on a residential or commercial property. It's a huge reason solar has been so successful in the U.S. in the last decade. So what happens if it is allowed to expire, as it's scheduled to do on December 31, 2016? Calamity, maybe.
With the current cost of solar energy systems around $3,500 to $4,000 per kilowatt, an average 5 kW system costs between $17,000 and $20,000. The ITC reduces that burden to between $12,000 and $14,000 at tax time the year after installation. That's a huge savings! In many states without good solar tax credits and rebates of their own, the ITC is the only way to reduce high system costs.
The most important factor here is that the ITC makes the numbers make sense for solar wherever you are in the country. Without it, payback times for solar power systems increase by 4 to 5 years, and the internal rate of return of an investment on solar decreases by about half.
In most states, solar makes sense on purely financial grounds. According to our recent survey of all 50 states and the District of Columbia, the internal rate of return for an investment in solar outpaces the S&P 500 in 33 states. That means that residents in 33 states would do better investing in solar than they would investing in a mutual fund pegged to the S&P index.
Without the ITC, there would be only 6 states where a solar investment beats the S&P, and only 5 states where payback times would be less than 10 years. That's bad, and it doesn't even consider the fact that other state and local incentives are set to expire soon, too. Here's how that would look:
So will it really be that bad if the ITC goes away as scheduled on December 31, 2016? Maybe.
According to a 2014 study of solar energy in the U.S.(PDF), published by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratories, the "installed" prices for solar energy systems have been falling by about 5% per year for the last 15 years (see the figure from the LBNL report below), and that trend is likely to continue into the future.
So that $20,000 system from above will only cost around $17,000 in 2017. It isn't enough to offset the missing ITC, but it's enough to make payback times and IRR look a little better.
Then again, the pace of dropping installed prices might increase, considering that so many other places around the world, like Germany and Australia, have super low prices for solar, about half the cost of U.S. prices. For now, though, in the United States, the only way to be sure you're getting the best deals now is to take advantage of the 30% ITC while you can.

One thought on "What happens if the federal 30% solar tax credit expires?"
In two years let those credits expire.

Scared of becoming a landlord?
Direct Line Insurance recently posted a fantastic advert/article in many of the property sections of the national newspapers. Their marketing team outdid themselves by highlighting not one, but fifteen "top tips for landlords" all of which were on the money. However, as accurate as they were, some potential landlords could be put off renting for the first time because of the work and effort required in making sure that the job is done properly. As previous blogs will testify, I am the first person to emphasise the need for rentals to be set up and managed professionally, but this does not necessarily mean that it befits a 'one size fits all' policy. What I am saying is that as admirable as it may be for a landlord to contact an insurance company, the person at the call centre may never have rented a house in their life. Like any company with a customer-facing, sales-based call centre, they are going to try and sell you as many products as possible, even if the said product is not suited to your particular situation or location. We have all experienced the scenario whereby we have rung a call centre on a number of occasions but have never spoken with the same person twice. As a potential landlord, it is imperative that all your paperwork is in order and you fully understand what is required by law and what is simply advisable for your particular situation. Prospective landlords should always go and discuss their requirements with an experienced lettings agent who is more interested in forming a long-term business relationship than selling an insurance policy.

'Koran burning' charge dropped
A British National Party election candidate accused of publicly burning a copy of the Koran was freed today when the charge against him was unexpectedly dropped.
Sion Owens (41) of Bonymaen, Swansea, South Wales, was arrested and charged at the weekend under Britain's Public Order Act.
The BNP candidate in next month's Welsh Assembly elections spent the weekend in custody before appearing at Swansea Magistrates' Court.
He was warned today that police are continuing to investigate the alleged incident and to expect further action.
It is understood that his release was due to a technicality regarding the Act under which he was arrested and charged.
An unconfirmed source in court today claimed that the permission of the Attorney General must be sought before such a charge can be made. In the case of Mr Owens, it was not.
His arrest and charge came after the Observer newspaper reported it had handed police a video which appeared to
show Mr Owens dousing a copy of the Koran with paraffin before setting it alight.
Bryn Hurford, prosecuting today, read out the charge after Mr Owens was brought into court from a custody suite.
He said that he was accused of having in his possession "a record of visual images or sounds showing you burning a
copy of the Koran whilst saying 'I am burning the Holy Koran and I hope that you Muslims are watching."'
The mock trial and torching of the Koran which controversial US pastor Terry Jones staged on March 20th precipitated days of mob violence and the deaths of at least two dozen people in Afghanistan.

- Watching the Growth of Bulk Grains during Recrystallisation of Deformed Metals
When a material is deformed plastically, excess line defects (dislocations) and some excess point defects are introduced into the material. The density of these excess defects can be reduced by means of annealing. One of the basic processes taking place during annealing is recrystallisation [1]. Although resembling crystallisation, recrystallisaton is a very different process. The differences relate to the fact that recrystallisation occurs in an already solid crystalline material, and thus the atoms have to move from one lattice arrangement in the deformed material into a new and more perfect one.
Fig. 36: Sketch of the experimental setup. Co-ordinate system (x,y,z) and angles (,2,) are defined. The x-axis is along the beam direction, the y-axis is transverse to the beam direction and the z-axis is normal to the beam plane. The insert shows the principle of obtaining a "snapshot" of the grain by repeatedly recording an oscillation photograph followed by a vertical translation of the sample stage.
The 3DXRD microscope [2] situated at beamline ID11, which has been developed in a collaboration between the ESRF and Risø National Laboratory, facilitates non-destructive observations of structural changes in the bulk of materials. Recently, the growth of individual recrystallising grains have been filmed in situ as a function of annealing time in the bulk of deformed Al single crystals. A planar beam shape with dimensions 5 µm vertically and 600 µm horizontally was used to record a "snapshot", i.e. a stack of cross sections constituting the full three dimensional shape of the individual recrystallising grain (see schematic view of the experimental setup in Figure 36). By repeating this procedure during an annealing period, a four dimensional measurement, i.e. three spatial dimensions and one time dimension, of the recrystallising grain was obtained, as shown in Figure 37. All the grains measured so far exhibited irregular movements contradicting the assumption of smooth growth in the classical models of recrystallisation for the chosen sample system. The information content provided in this new type of measurement, given by the position of individual grain boundary segments, the crystallographic orientation of the recrystallising grain and the average orientation of the surrounding deformed microstructure, makes it possible to probe the mechanisms of recrystallisation locally.
Fig. 37: Storyboard of the expansion of the grain in the sample reference system. In total 73 "snapshots" were taken during 30 hours of annealing at temperatures in the range 280°C to 310°C. The storyboard contain "snapshots" 1, 12, 17, 27, 39, 49, 59, 72 and 73 shown in figures A to I. At different times, different parts of the grain were leading in the expansion.

Hesse: The Wanderer and His Shadow
By Gunnar Decker
Harvard University Press 791pp £30 order from our bookshop
Few novels can have been more misunderstood than Hermann Hesse's Steppenwolf. The 1960s guru Timothy Leary thought the experiences of its hero, Harry Haller, with the Magic Theatre were drug-induced psychedelic fantasies, though the clean-living Hesse avoided drugs (apart from taking opium as a sedative after a row with his first wife). Others thought the Steppenwolf was a heroic rebel against conventional society, not seeing that in this guise Haller is consumed with self-loathing and self-pity and that his salvation consists in learning not to be a Steppenwolf. Few have properly appreciated the narrative complexity, the multiple perspectives and the open ending that make this novel a key work of modernist fiction.
Steppenwolf reflects a midlife crisis, which, as Gunnar Decker's biography shows, was long in the making. Hesse carried heavy psychological baggage from his childhood in Württemberg, where he was born in 1877. His parents, devout Lutheran ex-missionaries, had no idea how to handle an unruly teenager who ran away from boarding school and threatened suicide. They alternately urged him to find God and sent him to a mental asylum.

Deputy Minister Sayan, who spoke at the opening of the program, particularly focused on the "national technology move".
Deputy Minister Sayan "What will bring us to the vision of 2023, which is the framework of our President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, will be the "National Technology Move" which is again under the leadership of the Mr. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Because the technology we don't have all the details, is of no use to us. That is why I want to underline that; It is indigenous and national production everywhere and every area that will protect us from uncertainties and openness to attacks." he reiterated domestic and national emphasis in his words.
Chairman Karagözoğlu: ESB should promote the conscious and effective use of the Internet. In his speech, Karagözoğlu stated that not only the harmful aspects of the Internet, but also the opportunities it has brought to our children, youth and families are extremely important targets for us. In this direction, our Institution; In order to ensure that our citizens use the Internet in a conscious, safe and effective way and to raise awareness on this issue, it focuses on awareness raising activities as in many European Union countries. As you know, a cooperation protocol has been signed between our institution and ESB in 2017 in order to spread the conscious, safe and effective use of the Internet, to create the effectiveness of the Secure Internet Service and to raise awareness on this issue. A number of studies have been carried out within the framework of this protocol with ESB.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors of Access Providers Association(ESB), Mehmet Çerikçi, made a speech about the work carried out by ESB under the 2017 cooperation protocol. ESB started its activities within this scope and stated that a team was formed within the ESB within the scope of the said protocol.

Sooner or later, the phenomenon of cryptocurrencies might have a great impact on macroeconomic stability", — Tatyana Valovaya, The Eurasian Economic Commission's minister for integration and macroeconomics.
The Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) has issued a warning against an alleged global scam scheme known as "Bitcoin Revolution".
The alleged crypto scam represents a typical get-rich-quick scheme and operates through the website the-bitcoinrevolution.org and several other unnamed websites. Also "scheme" is being promoted by using advertising on unspecified social media platforms that redirect users without their consent to pages containing many prominent local personalities that claim to make massive profits from crypto investments.
The MFSA has stressed that the Bitcoin Revolution is neither registered in Malta nor is licensed to provide financial and investment services there.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) also warns members of the public not to be misled by fraudulent websites that solicit investments in cryptocurrencies using fabricated information attributed to the Singapore Government.
This scam scheme also operates through the websites and falsely claim that Singapore is adopting a cryptocurrency as its official coin. The sites ask readers to provide their personal and financial details to purchase the cryptocurrency on an exclusive basis.
Eurasian Economic Commission
The Eurasian Economic Commission, which serves as an executive body of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), has prepared a report on cryptocurrencies to promote regulation in the area.
"We've prepared analytical report and will public it soon. It focuses on the definition of cryptocurrencies, as well as examples of regulation in different countries", — Tatyana Valovaya,the Commission's minister for integration and macroeconomics.
The United States House of Representatives has passed a bill to commission to investigate how cryptocurrencies and online marketplaces may (in)directly enable sex or drug trafficking. Based upon the study's findings, regulatory and legislative actions that would impede such illicit use will be given.
"If we are to craft effective regulatory and legislative solutions to combat these transnational criminal organizations, we need to fully study and analyze how virtual currencies and online marketplaces are used to facilitate sex and drug trafficking, to determine how best to eliminate their use", — Juan Vargas, member of the House.

Gervonta Davis: I want to be a pay-per-view star
Four-division world champion Adrien Broner and unbeaten former champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis shared updates from their training camp in West Palm Beach, Florida as they prepare for their respective showdowns on Saturday, April 21 live on SHOWTIME from Barclays Center, the home of BROOKLYN BOXING.
The Premier Boxing Champions event is headlined by Adrien Broner battling former welterweight world champion Jessie Vargas in a 12-round bout. The SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING telecast begins at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT and features Davis meeting Jesus Cuellar as they square off for the WBA 130-pound Super Featherweight World Championship plus undefeated former world champion Jermall Charlo clashing with once-beaten Hugo Centeno Jr. for the interim 160-pound world title.
Tickets for the live event, which is promoted by Mayweather Promotions, DiBella Entertainment and TGB Promotions, start at $50 and can be purchased at ticketmaster.com, barclayscenter.com or by calling 800-745-3000. Tickets can also be purchased at the American Express Box Office at Barclays Center. Group discounts are available by calling 844-BKLYN-GP.
Broner and Davis are sharing camp in West Palm Beach for the first time under the guidance of head trainer Kevin Cunningham, a former St. Louis police officer who has worked with former world champions Devon Alexander and Cory Spinks.
On why he decided to do training camp with Kevin Cunningham…
"I was actually going to go to Colorado to train, but Adrien invited me to come down here to West Palm Beach to check out the camp. He said I should come to Florida to train with him and Kevin. So I came down, I saw Kevin's routine and I really liked it.
"There were a lot of distractions in Baltimore and I think they were a problem for me. I needed to straighten my head and focus on the things I have to work on. It was time to set my camp somewhere else.
"I needed a change after my last fight. I let myself down. I learned to be a different fighter, more responsible. I let others down, but think I let myself down more than anything."
On becoming one of the youngest champions in boxing…
"I was one of the youngest world champions in boxing. It is not that I was not prepared for it. I was just so young and it happened so quickly. I had to adapt to it. Live up to the hype. It was hard."
On his opponent, Jesus Cuellar…
"I'm not really into researching my opponents—or other fighters other than the ones that I like. I just train hard and fight who is in front of me. I know a little bit about him [Jesus Cuellar]. I know that he can hit, that he's not going to back down and that he's a tough opponent. I believe he's my toughest opponent to date. On April 21, we will see if he is ready. I know for sure I will be."
On life in training camp when not at the gym…
"We have a big house that the coach provided for us. We all live together—Adrien and I. We go swimming and to the movies. We just chill. We are being responsible. No South Beach, no clubbing. Just training hard."
On his relationship with Adrien Broner…
"What people don't know is that I've been around Adrien since I was younger. I looked up to him. When Adrien came on the scene, he was super sharp and fast. I remember him. He used to come to the amateur tournaments.
"I used to watch Adrien and Floyd Mayweather on television. I fought on Floyd's undercard and now I am training with Adrien and we are fighting on the same card. It feels great but I am still amazed by all of it. I am soaking it all in and enjoying the ride.
"Adrien is like a big brother to me. We are just like a little brother, big brother. We are very competitive. We do not say it but we always want to outdo each other. For example, I usually run faster than he does, but sometimes he beats me. Yesterday he ran so fast I could not catch him. So today, I took the lead and ran even faster. We push each other to our best."
On his plans for the future…
"I want to win more belts. I want to become a big star in boxing. I am going to put my work in the gym, put on a great performance in the ring and get back on track to become a world champion again.
"Being a world champion again is just a step closer towards my goal: I want to be a pay-per-view star. I want to be able to fight on pay-per-view against the big fighters and do big numbers."

Bangladeshi scientists have successfully decoded the genome sequence of hilsa, opening up a new era in sustainable production and conservation of national fish, of which Bangladesh is the world's largest producer.
Professor Dr. Md. Samsul Alam of the Department of Fisheries Biology and Genetics at Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU) in Mymensingh led the research programme. The research team also comprised of Dr Md. Bazlur Rahman Mollah of the Department of Poultry Science, Professor Dr. Md. Shahidul Islam of the Department of Biotechnology and Professor Dr. Mohd Golam Quader Khan of the Department of Fisheries Biology and Genetics at BAU.The research team collected live and mature hilsa from the Meghna River and the Bay of Bengal from 4 to 20 May in 2016 and extracted high-quality genomic DNA at the Fish Genetics and Biotechnology Laboratory and Poultry Biotechnology Genomics Laboratory at BAU, said Dr Md. Samsul Alam.
"We obtained the raw sequence data separately from the hilsa samples collected from the Meghna River and Bay of Bengal using the next generation DNA Sequencer IlluminaHiSeqX at GENEWIZ Genome Sequencing Center in the USA," he said.
The researchers then completed the de novo assembling of the genome sequence using different bioinformatics programs run by powerful computers at the University Grants Commission (UGC).
The assembled hilsa genome contained 7.68 million nucleotide (basic structural unit and building block for DNA) which is approximately ¼ of the human genome, according to the research team.
They submitted the hilsa whole genome sequence to the international genome database (National Center for Biotechnology Information, USA) and presented the research findings on Hilsa genome sequencing at two different International conferences (26th Plant & Animal Genome Conference, January 13-17, 2018, San Diego, California, USA; 3rd GNOBB International Conference, September, 29-30, 2017, Senate Bhaban, Dhaka University).
Hilsa (Tenualosailisha) is the national fish of Bangladesh. The contribution of Hilsa as a single species is the highest, approximately 12 per cent of total fish production of the country. On the other hand, about 60 per cent of the world Hilsa is produced in Bangladesh.The livelihood of around 4 lakh people of the country directly depends on Hilsa fishing.
Hilsa is a migratory fish dwelling in the sea around the year but migrates to upstream rivers for spawning and returns back to the sea after spawning. The hatched fry are nourished and nurtured to juvenile (jatka) in the river and then moved to the sea.
It is, however, very important that the conservation management activities be matched with the biological features of hilsa for their effectiveness in increased and sustainable production.
The whole genome sequencing could meticulously help identify the hilsa stocks, that indicates the hilsa a population in a particular geographic region.
In Bangladesh, hilsa migrates to different rivers for spawning, e.g., Meghna, Padma, Paira, Andharmanik etc. The question is if the hilsa migrating to different rivers belong the same stock or different stocks. Genome sequencing could provide answers to these questions.
Genetic relationship among the juveniles (jatka) and adult hilsa, location for the establishment of hilsa sanctuary, genetical differences between Bangladeshi hilsa and hilsa from other countries could be identified with the genome decoded.
The genomic technology will also help develop management strategies for sustainable exploitation of hilsa as well as for their conservation.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a statement Saturday that he had asked for and received the resignation of John McCallum, the country's ambassador to China, CBC reports.
The big picture: The firing comes at an unusually tense time in China-Canada relations, with the detention of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou last month sparking what many believe to be retaliatory arrests of Canadian citizens by the Chinese government. Earlier this week, McCallum told reporters that it would be "great for Canada" if the U.S. dropped Meng's extradition request and listed arguments that could be used to bolster her case. McCallum was later forced to walk back the controversial comments.

If you've worked with China in the manufacturing and sourcing sector, you know the skill involved in navigating through the multitude of suppliers factories, vendors, agents and trade companies that are out there. In short, the challenge is understanding Chinese suppliers. Any importer who tells you they've got it figured out is full of beans.Understanding their thinking, motives, what makes them tick, why they did what they did, do they want your business, do they hate your guts; all challenging to grasp. Building this bridge undoubtedly smooths your progress and creates results.
Point of View:
Suppliers in China have trouble understanding the concept that someone may be a buyer and serving a customer, brand or corporation. A buyer may not necessarily be an expert on the product, but they know what they want and what they need. The more educated you are as a buyer, the better. And not just "the better" but profoundly "better" because this will increase your control over the order.
You have to control your order, suppliers, for the most part are not going to proactively take the "bull by the horns". (and keep in mind, most of what I discuss is from my years of manufacturing for the promotional product and low-cost item industries).
Suppliers discuss everything from their point of view. Suppliers and especially direct factories expect you to know as much about the product as they do. From their perspective, you are buying the product and you should know that this is possible, this is not possible, this is more expensive, this process is longer, etc.. On this point, it's hard to blame them.
As a buyer you wonder many times, "why didn't they tell me?". They are thinking, "how did you not know?".
If a buyer is uneducated on a product, it can make a factory nervous, because more responsibility is in their hands to "get it right". A factory's best case is that they have a buyer giving them direction and able to sign off on every action.
Information flows like molasses:
Or not at all….
In China information is guarded and priceless. From the pauper to the king, people are tight-lipped and this is 100% a cultural characteristic. The average person in whatever job doesn't think to share, to inform, to update, to include you in the thought process, to swap ideas. This brings up memories of when I would conduct a meeting in my own company in China, it was mainly me or one person talking while everyone is just sitting their listening, acting like they are listening, or staring off in to space.
If they offer their ideas, they may think they are being rude or pretentious…
If they say something you may be offended….
If they suggest a process that doesn't work, they may lose face…
This kind of thinking, among many other back-and-forth thoughts goes through their mind before they speak. It's an extreme mental tug-of-war and so by the time it's finished, the speaking-boat has sailed. Or they give up altogether and no longer consider offering their own input.
Things would happen in my own company and I would ask the teammate, why wasn't this mentioned? Their response was, "I thought about it but…" (fill in the blank). It's almost in the simplest of terms, a social awkwardness.
Now apply this to your manufacturing situation. Suppliers in China, the sales kid who just got out of the university, the factory rep who is from a poorer area and now having to deal with what they may feel is a "high profile Westerner", go through this same communication blockage.
Many time, they didn't even know something was worth informing the buyer. Perhaps your grade of material is really important but they couldn't locate it within the material markets, so they elected a different material or different grade – they say nothing about it. Why? They honestly didn't feel it was worth bringing up, because in China, it wouldn't really be something discussed. You may think, "they didn't bring it up because it was a cheaper option". Not necessarily. We've had factory partners before do an incredible fire-extinguishing job for us and not mention a word about it. Many importers don't have a clue of the good things the factory does for them; only the negative, because the negative tends to stand out.
Share with us some of your experiences or educate us in how you manage your Chinese vendors and communication barriers.

Rustin Man Returns with Avant-Garde Folk Charm on 'Drift Code'
On Rustin Man's Drift Code, each track fits as a piece of the whole puzzle while also housing its own personality via surprisingly resourceful tones and constructions.
Drift Code
Rustin Man
1 February 2019
Best known as the former bass player of Talk Talk and as one-half of experimental duo .O.rang (alongside Talk Talk drummer Lee Harris), English musician Paul Webb is a master of spearheading ventures that spawn imaginative and intriguing results. Case in point: Rustin Man, a pseudonym he's only used once previously (on 2002's folkish Out of Season alongside Portishead singer Beth Gibbons and a host of guest players). Nearly 20 years later, Webb returns with a very worthwhile follow-up, Drift Code. In many ways, it's an emptier and more ethereal and exclusive experience than its predecessor, yet it upholds much of what made that album so enticing (even if its sparseness and sameness can sometimes get in the way).
Like just about every artist in the same situation, Webb never intended to take so long to do another Rustin Man record. Yet, the obligations of converting a barn into a recording studio—coupled with an expanding family—prolonged the project. Surprisingly, he made much of Drift Code on his own (with help from Harris, orchestral musicians, and keyboardist Snowboy) and recorded it one instrument at a time (with multiple microphones and then patched together the takes). This process proved challenging but ultimately rewarding and impactful, as did Webb's first try at writing songs for his own voice. As for the title, Webb reveals (in the official press release) that it's meant as "an oxymoron" because "a code is something fixed, but our instinct is to wonder, to drift". In other words, "life is a puzzle that can't be solved because the answer is always changing" (as he puts it), and in that way, Drift Code is always enthrallingly enigmatic and haunting (even when its unique persona borders on becoming repetitious).
The whole sequence is a gripping merger of the aforementioned folk tranquility and the mellower textural adventurousness of bands like Caravan, Camel, Amon Düül II, and King Crimson. Specifically, "The World's in Town" captures the calming spaciness and jazzy reserve of the latter's Islands with its otherworldly effects, quiet arrangement, and charmingly timid vocals (including intersecting harmonies). Elsewhere, "Vanishing Heart" opens the collection as a hypnotic piano ballad with sporadic percussion, horns, and electric guitar strums complementing Webb's distraught singing.
"Judgement Train" and "Our Tomorrows" add a bit of late 1960s psychedelic frolicking into the mix, while "Euphonium Dream" is an avant-garde instrumental whose horns and spectral surges make it feel like the soundtrack to an LSD-induced nightmare (in a good way). At the end of the LP, "Light the Light" finds Webb trying on multiple voices over a densely strange set-up prior to "Martian Garden" permitting foreboding choral urgency to usurp a peaceful center. From start to finish, Drift Code is fascinatingly innovative yet cohesive.
That said, its slower and thinner moments can be a bit of a slog when the record is taken in one sitting. That is true for most of the songs here, especially the extraneous "Brings Me Joy", which, while a nice composition at its core, nonetheless overstays its welcome simply because it doesn't really go anywhere. The same can be said for closer "All Summer" (although there's inherently more to it, and it's never a bad idea to let a bittersweet acoustic ode finish the journey). These gripes certainly don't ruin the experience, but they are noticeable after repeated playthroughs.
Although there could be more diversity and depth at times, the vast majority of Drift Code is mesmeric in its idiosyncratic splendor. Webb's voice alone is a characteristic and multifaceted treat that really suits the timbres and subject matter surrounding it. Likewise, each track fits as a piece of the whole puzzle while also housing its own personality via surprisingly resourceful tones and constructions. All in all, Webb and company excel at bringing his novel vision to life with retro charisma, modern creativity, and a timeless classiness that guarantees its relevancy and appeal for the foreseeable future.

It's a hoot hoot, at Paultons Park!..Showing my age there, that used to be their tag line you see. Having grown up living locally to the park my whole life, I have lovely memories of what must have been monthly visits, mainly with my mum, and or my Uncle, Steve, who was/is, a fireman so worked shifts, and took me & my cousin Ali as often as possible & we absolutely loved it!! (There were even dinosaurs there back then!)
Of course, the park(let's call it that to save time shall we?) has come a loooong way since the 80's, and is now most famous as being the home of Peppa Pig!
After recently buying season tickets for myself & Will, I thought I'd write a little blog post to give a bit more info in case any of you are also planning a visit?
I wanted to firstly say that although PP world is fantastic, the park as a whole has SO much more than just that to offer.
Many local hotels & B&B's do a deal with Paultons where by if you book a night with them, you get a second days entry into the park for free! If you go on the Paultons website, it has all the links there for you. Personally if I didn't live so close(the farm is actually part of the Paultons 'estate') i'd definitely do it over two days. (You can just buy a two day ticket if for example you are staying locally with family).
Please please do your research via the app & website before you visit-there is just SO much to see & do, you will benefit most if you plan your way around before you visit.
I'm speaking with experience of visiting with a two & six year old, so you may want to adapt the info to suit your kids. But at the moment Annie still sleeps from 12.30-2.30, and won't just fall asleep in the pushchair-well, she will, but not till 5pm after a full day out-and as we all know that's serious danger nap territory! So now that we have a pass, we can arrive for the minute the park opens(around ten or ten thirty, check the website for the opening time on your chosen day) have fun for a few hours & then head home to bed…her not me!
There's a huge car park, but even if you parked on the farthest side of it you're still a very short stroll into the park entrance(arrive at 9.30 for 10am opening is my advice…you really don't want to queue for three miles with kids in the car!) On entering the park you're greeted with a beautiful tree fountain display and instantly notice how immaculately clean the area is-a theme i'm happy to say is continued throughout the park!!
Once you've purchased your tickets you can either eat breakfast in the Rainforest cafe, or head straight for the fun.
Most people with under fives will go straight to Peppa Pig world, not strictly necessary at some points in the year-but if you're visiting on a weekend, or during the holidays & want to avoid thirty minute queues on the main rides in PP world, this would be my plan of action.
Download the Paultons app-it has a map so that you can carefully plan your route;which I strongly advise, and a queue time tracker which I think it brill at peak times!
Peppa Pig world is really beautifully laid out, with Madame Gazelle's school house, and , Ducks, rainbows on the floor, (plus Peppas house of course) they've thought of all the little details & I actually really like it despite never being a fan of the TV show!
You need to check the website for height restrictions if you want your older child to go on rides in PP World alone but I think they have to be a metre tall for George's dinosaur ride, the rest are fine as long as you're accompanying your little one.
Georges spaceship indoor play zone(soft play) can get a little cramped but it's well catered for all ages with separate bits for toddlers & older ones. And is always spotlessly clean. There is also a phone charger station and small cafe within the soft play area.
I should mention here about food. If you've spent the morning in PP World, your little one may now be flagging. The cafe inside George's soft play sells things like sandwiches,crisps, pizza bread, fruit, and teas and coffees, but, expect to pay 'theme park' prices! Personally, I'd take lots of picnic food, or stop at the petrol station very near by which has a Co-Op shop selling lovely sandwiches as well as all the usual stuff. I just can't justify spending money on expensive take away food with such a big family. The main 'Wild forest' cafe at the entrance is again expensive in my opinion. Expect to pay around £60 for lunch for a family of four?
(There is a McDonald's restaurant located at the afore mentioned petrol station, plus two pubs within about 100 yards of the park, so you may want to end your day there with a good meal if you have a long journey back home?)
Moving on from food, you've visited Peppa, so where now? You could ride the carousel, watch a penguin show, or head to new attraction 'Little Africa' which has some unusual animals as well as Meerkats which are so close you can practically touch them! Annie absolutely LOVES little Africa and although it's quite small we can easily spend 40 minutes strolling through talking about all the animals!
Will loves the train which departs from the station cafe, you get a lovely look round from a slightly different view! He also loves the parks, of which there are a few dotted around(some have brilliant fountains for the summer, Muddy puddles and water kingdom!) and would happily spend a couple of hours in the sand pit!
The Dinosaur theme park world 'Lost Kingdom' is also fairly new & offers close encounters with amazing(slightly scary) animatronic Dinos, as well as thrill rides for a range of ages.
There are a few big, fast rides which I'm way too chicken to go on, Cobra, Velociraptor & flight of the Pterosaur will satisfy the healthiest of appetites for speed!!!
But if, like me you prefer a gentler approach to fun, there are rides such as the sky swinger, Dino chase and Viking boats to enjoy.
Obviously there are too many rides to list them all but the website has the whole map for you to study & a key to show whether each is for family, thrill, or kids.
There are beautiful animals, and carefully tended gardens throughout the park, Annie particularly loved the tropical birds.
As a Mum, things like clean loos & good changing facilities are very important to me, and I found them to be immaculate, the toilets even have a toddler seat which you can put down, they've thought of everything!
(Adult changing facilities are also available, which I'm very happy to report-I wish more places could offer this!!)
There are small kiosks throughout the park selling sweets, drinks & ice creams(I had to sample one to write this-a tough job but someone had to do it, plus season ticket holders get 20% off food so..?)…in the summer it's a lovely treat to grab a cold lolly!
Lots of rides have photos you can buy afterwards, you know, the ones where you look windswept & terrified… And there is a chance to meet Peppa & George at certain times of day so you can even get a photo with the pig herself! (100% recommend the Paultons app to be able to see times & create a 'plan' of action for your visit).
In May two new rides are opening within PP World, the Queens flying coach ride & Grampy rabbits sailing club which both look brilliant, I think ticket prices are fair given how well kept the whole place is & the investment in new rides & attractions.
I'm sure I could go on, but in summary, I love Paultons Park & other than expensive food & overpriced gift shop toys(just as you'd expect of a theme park) I can't fault it, my kids absolutely love it! This isn't a sponsored post, & we paid the £118 per season ticket ourselves, but I think it's a great investment as it lasts for a whole year & I won't feel guilty about popping in for an hour after school in the summer!
If you're thinking of visiting-do book your tickets in advance as they're slightly cheaper. And if you have any questions about any aspect feel free to leave me a comment, email or DM & I'll do my best to answer!
I'm sorry this was so long, there was a LOT of info, but I hope it's helpful to some of you!
Lots of love, Kirsty x

James Paxton entered Tuesday night with a 0.34 ERA at Yankee Stadium this season.
He ended it by being booed off the mound when he was knocked out in the third inning of the Yankees' 10-4 loss to the Mets in the nightcap of a split doubleheader.
It was the second straight rocky start for the left-hander, who spent time on the injured list with left-knee inflammation and is still pitching with a brace.
Afterward, Paxton said he didn't think his struggles have been because of the knee.
"I don't think that's a factor,'' said Paxton, who allowed six runs in 2 ²/₃ innings. "It was just a bad game on my part."
As for the brace, Paxton said: "I don't think that's an issue. This is just a little bit of a rough stretch right now. I've got to get back to work and figure out what I need to do to help this team win."
He didn't give them much of a chance on Tuesday. Paxton allowed a chopper that went down the right-field line for a double to Jeff McNeil to lead off the game and a flare to left to J.D. Davis before Pete Alonso crushed homer that made it 3-0 just three batters into the game.
Things got worse in the third, as Paxton gave up three more runs before being pulled with two outs. It was his shortest outing of the year and he still gave up a season-high six runs.
"I just wasn't very good,'' Paxton said. "That one's on me. … It's tough. I'm gonna do whatever I can do so I don't let the team down like I did today."
Aaron Boone noted Paxton's command was off, but the manager said he believed the lefty's knee was OK.
"I think it's fine,'' Boone said. "We'll check with him again tonight and [Wednesday]. I didn't think he was far off from being himself. He was not real sharp and not overwhelming from a stuff standpoint."
Paxton hadn't allowed an earned run in his previous four starts at Yankee Stadium, where he had previously complained about the mound, which he thought might have led to his knee issues.
But after tossing four no-hit innings against the Padres in his return from the IL, Paxton allowed four runs in 4 ²/₃ innings in a loss in Toronto his last outing before being roughed up by the Mets on Tuesday.
"I by no means pitched well, but they swung pretty well, too,'' Paxton said of the Mets' lineup.
And he acknowledged it was difficult hearing it from the crowd after it was over.
"I've had a lot of success here this year,'' Paxton said. "It's not my first tough one and I'm sure it won't be my last. But I've dealt with failure before and I'll bounce back like I have before."
