Genetic Testing Reveals the True Nature of Coffee Varieties – Daily Coffee News

One of the hallmarks of the single-origin specialty coffee movement has been an appreciation for specific varieties within the arabica species of coffee.

Like the Pinot Noir or Cabernet Sauvignon varieties to wine, coffee varieties such as Bourbon, Pacamara or Gesha are not merely used as identifiers; theyre also employed as marketing terms. But what if that 91-point Gesha in your cup is actually a 91-point something else? Heaven forbid.

Research released last month that used genetic fingerprinting to determine the veracity of genetic labeling of thousands of coffee plant suggests the mis-identification of varieties on farms and even in nurseries may be widespread.

DNA fingerprinting provides different actors in the coffee sector with a powerful new tool farmers can verify the identity of their cultivated varieties, coffee roasters can be assured that marketing claims related to varieties are correct, and most of all, those looking to establish a more professional and reliable coffee seed sector have a reliable new monitoring tool to establish and check genetic purity of seed stock and nursery plants, the authors of the open-access study in the in theJournal of AOAC International.

Behind the study is the Portland, Oregon-based nonprofit World Coffee Research, which it should be noted has a vested interest in promoting this type of DNA fingerprinting. The group launched a DNA fingerprinting service for the authentication of arabica coffee in 2017, and charges $130 per sample.

For the newly published study, researchers applied the DNA fingerprint testing to more than 2,500 coffee samples in its database, which came from numerous sources, including WCRs core collection and anonymized samples sent by individuals. Samples originated from coffee-growing countries all over the world.

In one of the starkest examples of genetic nonconformity, only 39% of the 88 samples identified as the famous Gesha variety (often written as Geisha elsewhere) were found to truly be Gesha.

Researchers noted incidental cross-pollination on the farm as a potential likely route to genetic ambiguity on farms and in nurseries.

Experience with the WCR genetic database points to the conclusion that a recently selected variety in a region with a relatively organized research and nurseries network exhibit higher genetic conformity, the authors wrote. The best example of this currently is the Marsellesa variety, with 91% of genetic conformity. However, when varieties are older and/or the research and nurseries network is poorly organized, the percentage of genetic conformity can drastically decrease.

Spring term courses at the UO canceled due to remote learning – Oregon Daily Emerald

In response to the coronavirus pandemic, the University of Oregon has turned to providing classes remotely to its students. But some classes cant be taught online, and a number of students have experienced course cancellations, including courses taught at the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology campus and art and design classes.

Students in courses that included field or lab work were canceled due to the hands-on nature of these classes.

Marine biology majors at UO are required to spend a minimum of three terms at the OIMB campus in Charleston, Oregon. There, they engage in intensive field and lab classes that include working with live animals and going dredging on OIMBs research vessel, said Maya Watts, the education program coordinator for OIMB.

OIMB canceled four of its spring term courses, Watts said: Marine Ecology, Invertebrate Zoology, Embryology and Larval Ecology and Habitats of the Oregon Coast.

These courses couldnt be offered remotely as we cannot replicate full-day classes with numerous field trips, lab and microscope work, Watts said. It would be doing an injustice to the experience our students are expecting and looking forward to at OIMB.

Because of the requirement to spend academic terms in residence at OIMB, graduating seniors will face the challenge of meeting requirements for the marine biology major, said Craig Young, the director of OIMB.

Without these kinds of courses, the training of marine biologists is severely compromised, Young said. We are working to find ways that we can remedy these potential deficiencies as soon as the pandemic is over.

A few small studio classes offered to students in the UO School of Art + Design have also been canceled due to distance learning.

The Intro Jewel and Metals course, which explores developing and constructing jewelry and objects rooted in material culture, was canceled, according to the course catalog.

Josh Morris, a freshman and a product design major, registered for the course in early-March and was notified a week before spring term began that the class had been canceled.

It was kind of upsetting at first just because I had to figure out what I was going to do or like what class I was going to register for, Morris said. And it is a required studio class for product design, so that kind of messed up some of my overall four-year plan.

Landscape architecture classes such as Urban Farm and the topic class Trees Across Oregon, which teaches students about the diversity and wonder of Oregons trees, were also canceled, according to the course catalog.

Julia Treacy, a freshman who registered for Urban Farm, had been excited to immerse herself in the class and learn about farming.

That was going to be the class where I got to farm and learn about plants, Treacy said. Honestly, I thought it would be moved digitally somehow, so I was disappointed that didnt happen.

Urban Farm is offered during spring, summer and fall terms to students from any discipline at UO. In the class, students learn about where their food comes from and how their food choices affect change, according to the website.

Treacy felt like the participatory aspect of her learning had been disrupted due to spring term going online.

Urban Farm canceling took away another hands-on learning class, Treacy said. And I am more hands-on than a remote learner.

Former GOP Rep. Campaigning With Gun Giveaway To Fend Off ‘Looting Hordes From Atlanta’ – TPM

Use your AR-15 to fend off looting hordes from Atlanta. So says a former congressman whos trying to get back to the D.C. swamp.

As part of former Rep. Paul Brouns (R-GA) bid to get back to Congress, hes holding an AR-15 giveaway, he announced in a campaign video released Friday.

In uncertain times like these, the right to defend yourself, your property and your family could not be more important, the former member of Congress explains in the ad.

Give Brouns campaign your email, and you could win a liberty machine to protect yourself from looting hordes from Atlanta or a tyrannical government from Washington, he says.

Brouns well-known among observers of the right-wing fever swamps.

Ive come to understand that all that stuff I was taught about evolution and embryology and big bang theory all that is lies from the pit of hell, he famously told the Liberty Baptist Church Sportsmans Banquet in 2012, before adding that he believed the earth was 9,000 years old.

Broun, who proudly claimed in a previous Senate campaign to have been the first member of Congress to call former President Barack Obama a socialist, has pulled the gun-giveaway stunt before.

During that campaign, he said Obama would like nothing more than to ban the AR-15 and that, as a result, he was giving one way just fork over your name, email address and zip code.

Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) beat Broun in that primary and ultimately won the Senate seat.

Brouns latest video ends with him shooting at something off-camera. God bless America, the Georgia Republican says.

GOP Rep. Who Said Evolution Was a Lie from the Pit of Hell Wants His Seat Back – Patheos

For eight years, from 2007 to 2015, Paul Broun was a Republican member of Congress, representing Georgias 10th district. In 2012, as a sitting member of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, he made nationwide news when video emerged of him speaking at a Baptist church and telling the crowd that evolution, embryology, and the Big Bang were lies straight from the pit of Hell.

Gods word is true. Ive come to understand that. All that stuff I was taught about evolution and embryology and the Big Bang Theory, all that is lies straight from the pit of Hell. And its lies to try to keep me and all the folks who were taught that from understanding that they need a savior. You see, there are a lot of scientific data that Ive found out as a scientist that actually show that this is really a young Earth. I dont believe that the Earths but about 9,000 years old. I believe it was created in six days as we know them. Thats what the Bible says.

And what Ive come to learn is that its the manufacturers handbook, is what I call it. It teaches us how to run our lives individually, how to run our families, how to run our churches. But it teaches us how to run all of public policy and everything in society. And thats the reason as your congressman I hold the Holy Bible as being the major directions to me of how I vote in Washington, D.C., and Ill continue to do that.

Broun also anointed the doorway through which President Obama walked before delivering his first inaugural address and co-sponsored a bill reaffirming In God We Trust as our nations official motto. Thats besides all the deranged right-wing policies he supported.

Now hes running for his old seat, now in the 9th district, once again. (Collins has that seat right now, but hes running for U.S. Senate.)

Broun is already stirring up controversy with an AR-15 giveaway to help the (mostly white) residents in his district protect themselves against the looting hordes from Atlanta. (Wink wink nudge nudge)

Guns and racism, all in one. What else is new from a conservative Christian?

In a phone interview Tuesday, Broun defended the reference to looting hordes from Atlanta as not racial.

Only the liberal press would take that kind of position, he said. There are a lot of white people in Atlanta as well.

Youre the racist, he added.

This is the best Jesus followers can do, apparently. Its appalling that in the middle of a pandemic, a candidate who openly rejects science could get anywhere close to Congress. But when Republicans are in the majority, the dumbest people get elected.

Lice Drug Ivermectin Shown to Kill COVID-19 Within 48 Hours – Newsmax

Researchers in Australia say head lice drug Ivermectin quickly prevented replication of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

The drug, which has been used to treat and prevent diseases related to parasites in humans, pets, and livestock since the 1980s, was used in a laboratory setting with positive results.

Researchers infected cells with the virus, then exposed them to Ivermectin.

"We showed that a single dose of Ivermectin could kill COVID-19 in a petri dish within 48 hours, indicating potent antiviral activity," says study co-author David Jans, PhD, a professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at Monash University in Melbourne.

Even at 24 hours, "there was a really significant reduction" in the virus, study leader Kylie Wagstaff, PhD, a senior research fellow in biochemistry and molecular biology at Monash University, said in a statement,according to WebMd.

Still, experts say more testing is needed.

"The results are promising," says Katherine Seley-Radtke, PhD, a professor of chemistry and biochemistry at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.

Jans says the drug is "safe at relatively high doses."

"It is important to stress that no one should try to self-medicate with versions of Ivermectin that are for veterinary purposes or head lice," he says.

They create a toilet that recognizes the user; seeks to detect diseases – InTallaght

The smart toilet can analyze urinary and intestinal tract diseases; the data is completely private

The University of Stanford he has createsdo a toilet with Artificial Intelligence (AI) capable of scan he rear or straight -Analprint Scan- of the user. Its objective? Be able to detectsr diseases in faeces and urine through an advanced system of cameras and sensors.

An investigation published in the magazine Nature Biomedical Engineering, describes a toilet that, in addition to detecting the user using it through a anal print or Analprint ScanIt is also capable of detecting and preventing diseases -diabetes, urinary infections, inflammation of the intestine, among others.

According to the Stanford researchers, the prototype bathroom has been tested on more than 20 people and Artificial Intelligence has been able to detect each user through image recognition, something similar with fingerprint detection -which also has on the toilet lever- and recognition facial.

Smart Toilet PrototypeNature Biomedical Engineering

This anus scan relates the data obtained with each user without making a mistake and, according to the developers of this new toilet, it is a device that has increased in value not only because it is capable of detecting diseases but also because it is an object in common use. since data that is normally ignored is used.

Recordings of feces and urine collected by the toilet are processed by algorithms to detect possible patterns like urodynamic -urine volume and flow time-and even the viscosity in the feces which is activated when sitting down.

In addition to measuring the pressure and movement of waste Bristol scale These are classified according to a clinical scale of morphological function, in addition to their sample-type biochemical analysis and response, such as genomics and microbiotics.

To top it off with the four detection chambers, the device has urine test strips that analyze the basic biochemistry of the urine, such as pH, glucose, proteins or enzymes that help detect possible infections.
