The team has developed the new strain of Ashoka rice which is longer lasting

Researchers at Bangor University are helping to feed millions of families in India with a tastier, longer lasting variety of rice.Prof John Witcombe and Dr Daljit Singh Virk, of the University’s School of Environment, Natural Resources and Geography, have developed the new strain of Ashoka rice.Ashoka 200F was developed for resource-poor farmers, using a new method of plant breeding. Instead of conventional plant breeding, when thousands of plants are crossed in the hope of finding beneficial traits, fewer plants are crossed, but carefully selected for desired characteristics, such as drought tolerance and a good yield.Bangor University researchers have developed a longer lasting type of ashoka rice for Indian families
The pioneering method, called Client Oriented Breeding (COB), also differs from conventional commercial development as it involves the growers in the selection of traits.Prof Witcombe said: “The figures are quite staggering. We estimate a million smallholders are growing formally released Ashoka, bringing in a benefit of £12 million a year to their households. Added to that, many farmers are saving and sharing their own seeds.“Our evidence shows over 80% of farmers surveyed said the rice they were growing was lasting around a month longer than previously - saving them a month‘s purchase of rice.

“Ashoka’s early and large crop provides food for the ‘hungry season’ - as well as being able to supply fodder for animals. Farmers with surplus grain for sale were also able to sell 45% more grain, and gain a higher price as it’s a higher quality grain.”The new variety has rapidly become farmers’ most popular choice for growing in upland regions of India as they can’t grow modern rice strains suited to irrigated fertile lowlands.Prof Witcombe said: “The stories from individual farmers make it very easy for us to appreciate what has been achieved.

It is also very satisfying to see our varieties mainstreamed in the seed production chain.“We started on the Client Breeding Programme in about 1995 which is a very short time in plant breeding terms. With conventional approaches it would not have been possible to achieve the impact we have had.”
The Indian Council for Agricultural Research has adopted COB as a mainstream approach for breeding new varieties of grain for drought-prone areas or where traditional approaches have not been rewarding. Bangor’s researchers are working with the Gramin Vikas Trust, KRIBHCO Bhavan, NOIDA, New Delhi and Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, Jharkand, India

Why you really ARE more tired than your other half - and what you can do about it

 

If you always think you're more tired than your husband, you're right
The National Sleep Foundation say women are worse sleepers than men 
Angela Epstein explores common reasons for insomia - and solutions 

At the end of a busy week, do you ever find yourself arguing with your husband about who’s more exhausted?
Though it won’t make you feel better in the long-term, take comfort in the fact that you probably are more tired than him.That’s because, according to research by the National Sleep Foundation, women are worse sleepers than men. Its recent survey found 63 per cent of women experience insomnia a few times a week, compared with 54 per cent of men.

Women are biologically programmed to be lighter sleepers, so a woman can hear her baby cry in the nightThis difference - termed the gender sleep gap - may be partly because women are biologically programmed to be lighter sleepers. Waking up easily is a form of being on red alert so that a mother can spring into action should her baby cry during the night.What makes it even worse is that we tend to need more sleep than men, at least an extra 20 minutes, according to Professor Jim Horner, of Loughborough University’s Sleep Research Centre.‘Women tend to multi-task and so they use more of their brain than men. Because of that, their need for sleep is greater,’ he says.So, what can we do to get some much-needed rest? Here, we reveal the main causes of the gender sleep gap - and how to overcome them.

DIETING
Men may be looking after their figures a little better these days, but women still make up the majority of dieters.So women are more likely to be fighting late-night hunger pangs that can prevent them from getting to sleep - and they may lie awake for longer rather than raid the fridge.Independent dietician Dr Sarah Schenker advises including carbohydrates with a low glycaemic index (GI) - foods that release energy more slowly - as part of the evening meal.
‘It has been suggested that calories with a low GI will help keep blood sugar levels stable,’ she says.Low GI carbohydrates include wholegrain basmati rice, kidney beans, chickpeas and potatoes.
HEARTBURN
Pregnant and menopausal women are more vulnerable to heartburn than men. The condition - in which stomach acid splashes back up into the oesophagus - is a particular problem at night.During the day, acid may briefly enter the oesophagus, but is quickly pulled back to the stomach by gravity. But at night, when you are lying flat, acid tends to rest in the oesophagus for longer, causing more pain and damage.

SLEEP GAP

The average adult sleeps for six hours and 36 minutes a night - one hour and 24 minutes less than recommended

Dr Steven Mann, consultant gastroenterologist at Barnet Hospital in London, suggests avoiding alcohol, chocolate, coffee, fizzy drinks, citrus fruit and spicy or fatty foods. ‘Eating smaller meals and having your evening meal three to four hours before bedtime may help too,’ he says.
Another way to reduce the chance of heartburn is to raise your bed a little by stacking a couple of books under the head end. If this doesn’t work, over-the-counter antacids can be taken to neutralise stomach acids.

TEETH GRINDING
One in four Britons suffers from night-time bruxism - teeth grinding - and the majority are women, according to London-based dentist Dr Charles Ferber. The condition can cause jaw and neck pain, which can disturb sleep.Dr Ferber says that bruxism may have an emotional trigger, since it offers an unconscious way to release stress.‘It’s also common for women to get bruxism around the menopause, pregnancy or certain stages of the menstrual cycle. This combination of stress and hormones could raise the chances of women suffering from it.’What’s more, the consequences of grinding teeth can be even more serious for women than men.

‘The muscles of the female jaw are weaker than they are in men,’ says Dr Ferber.‘This creates more pain and so this increases the chance of disrupted sleep.’It’s possible to manage symptoms by sleeping in a mouth guard or mouth splints, available from your dentist.‘Taking a holistic approach may also help,’ says Dr Ferber.‘Find ways to reduce stress, such as relaxing in a warm bath or not using a computer for an hour before going to bed.’

Women are more likely to suffer from headaches
HEADACHES
Women report having more headaches than men - and are much more likely to be woken up by pain in the middle of the night. Dr Andy Dowson, director of headache services at King’s College London, explains that sudden, stabbing head pains in the night can be hypnic headaches or ‘alarm clock headaches’.‘These tend to affect more women than men, and strike at the same time every night, usually between 1am and 3am,’ he says.‘The throbbing pain begins abruptly and can last from 15 minutes to six hours, though typically it is 30 to 60 minutes.’Doctors are not sure what causes these headaches. However, some research suggests that, counter-intuitively, drinking caffeine in the evening may help prevent them.The theory suggests caffeine may affect pain pathways in the brain. If the pain is severe, your doctor may prescribe painkillers.

RESTLESS LEGS
As many as one in ten people develop restless legs syndrome, with twice as many women as men affected - though it’s not clear why. Also known as Willis-Ekbom disease, the condition causes an overwhelming urge to move the legs, along with a crawling sensation in the feet, calves and thighs.Symptoms become worse at night and can wake sufferers.According to Dr Nicholas Silver, a consultant neurologist at the Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust in Liverpool, cutting out caffeine can help.‘In my experience, 60 per cent of patients find this disappears if they stop all forms of caffeine.’

TEMPERATURE
Women approaching or going through the menopause can suffer night-time sweats, which can significantly disrupt sleep.‘Night-time sweating is caused by a lack of the hormone oestrogen,’ says Leila Hanna, consultant gynaecologist and obstetrician at Queen Mary’s Hospital in London.‘It’s thought this change in hormonal balance affects a receptor in the brain, which is responsible for temperature control in the body.’

Once woken up, women find it much harder to get back to sleep than men, according to research at the University of Surrey
She suggests trying natural remedies such as black cohosh or red clover. If these don’t work, consult your GP.Conversely, women tend to feel the cold more than men. Women’s bodies are quicker to direct blood inwards toward the vital organs when it gets cold. This lack of blood in the hands and feet makes them feel even colder.Invest in an extra duvet for your side or dream of your next holiday - according to University of Portsmouth research, imagining a hot place can warm you up.

WORRYING
Once woken up, women find it much harder to get back to sleep than men, according to research at the University of Surrey.The study found 18 per cent of women had a bad night’s sleep at least five days a week, compared with only 8 per cent of men.Most reported having difficulty sleeping because they were worrying. A warm bath before bed is relaxing, and also means you’ll experience a drop in body temperature when you get out of the water, which helps the brain prepare for sleep.It may sound counter-intuitive, but if you can’t sleep, try to focus on staying awake. Research from the University of Glasgow found that reverse psychology helped some insomniacs fall asleep.

HEAVYWEIGHTS
We all change sleeping position about 20 times a night, but men seem to shift around more than women, according to Professor Jim Horne.Since men tend to weigh more than women, their movements are more likely to result in their partner being woken up.‘Opt to sleep with separate duvets,’ says Sammy Margo, a chartered physiotherapist.Getting a bigger bed may also help - especially zip and link beds, which join two single mattresses together.Being heavier, men are also more likely to snore. If night-time noise is ruining your rest, the only solution may be to banish him to the spare room

Study shows college students had improved levels of haemoglobin after consuming the new variety
Hyderabad: The health-conscious lots who have been constantly worrying about the lack of iron content in polished rice, consumed by most of us as a staple food, have good tidings. A Hyderabad-based scientist from the Indian Institute of Rice Research (IIRR) has developed a new variety of ‘iron-rich rice’ to address iron deficiency among rice eaters.It may be mentioned here that the deficiency in iron is largely responsible for anaemia, especially among women.“Like the polished rice available in the market, there is no significant difference in the appearance, odour, tenderness and taste of the iron-rich rice,” said Dr M Mohibbe Azam, Principal Scientist in the Crop Improvement Section, who developed the new variety of rice at the IIRR.
According to the National Family Health Survey 2005-06, prevalence of anaemia in India is 70 per cent among children (6-59 months), 55 per cent among women (15-49 years) and 24 per cent among men (15- 40 years).In general, the iron content in polished rice is between four and five parts-per-million (PPM). However as per the recommendations of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), an adult should consume around 21 milligrams to 28 milligrams of iron per day.“We had started our research with an aim to providing fortified iron to lower income groups, who are mostly anaemic,” he says. Although many countries have worked on iron fortified rice, Dr Azam said, “The problem with coated rice is that the iron gets lost when it is rinsed.”
“Then we thought why not fortify the rice in such a way that the iron gets inside the grain, and there would be no problem with milling and washing,” he explained. As a result, parboiling method has been adopted to ensure that the iron content is secured inside the grain. In parboiling, the mineral present on the surface would be retained inside and iron would be distributed uniformly all over the grain.
Thus, there would be no considerable loss of iron when rinsed or cooked in excess water, he said.A kilogram of the new variety of rice contains 35 milligram of iron. Upon conducting a study among anaemic students, it was revealed that the haemoglobin levels of the students have gone up significantly from 6.77 to 10.36 gm/dl (grams per decilitre). “We fed anaemic college students with 100 gram of iron fortified rice thrice a week for two months. We have seen this significant improvement in their haemoglobin levels,” Dr Azam said.
Another interesting feature is that normal rice, which has a thin coat of oil, is vulnerable to oxidation process leading to generation of free radicals, which have a harmful effect on consumers. Unlike this, the new variety with the iron infused inside the grain, there is no possibility of the formation of free radicals making is a healthy proposition.“Fortification of rice can be carried out at the existing rice mills with an extra cost of Rs 1 per kg which includes the iron to be infused with the rice,” Dr Azam said.

All to get digitised ration cards by mid January
SNS
| Kolkata | 31 December, 2015
State Food Minister Jyotipriya Mullick
The state food minister Jyotipriya Mullick on Wednesday said that the distribution of digital ration cards will be completed in all the 19 districts by the middle of January 2016.The completion of all the digital cards will be done by 14 January and the cardholders will be able to procure rations by the morning of 27 January. “An amount of Rs.5.4 crore has been spent for the project,” informed Mullick.
He also added that almost 7.7 crore people are going to get food security benefits through the card. “I will be personally present in all the zilla offices during the distribution of the cards,” said Mr Mullick.The government has distributed such ration cards in North and South Dinajpur, Cooch Behar, East Midnapore and West Midnapore, Hooghly and Bankura.On Wednesday, he visited Hooghly and Alipore.
The other zillas will soon be covered, the minister informed. In the Press conference, he also informed that the Central government has stopped the levy for the rice millers, which has come as a big blow to the survival of the small millers.In an effort to help the small rice millers, the state government has formed cooperative bodies that are going to collect the rice from these millers.
In turn, the cooperative bodies will get a 2.5 per cent commission. In a bid to make the rationing system transparent and ensure effective distribution system across the state, chief minister Mamata Banerjee had announced the introduction of such digital ration cards. More than 7.8 crore cards have been digitised

Rice importer Jack Charles seeks writ of mandamus against BAHA

Highlights— 31 December 2015— by Rowland A. Parks
BELIZE CITY, Thurs. Dec. 24, 2015–Today, Christmas Eve, attorneys representing the parties in the rice stand-off between importer Jack Charles and the Belize Agriculture Health Authority (BAHA) held a brief in-chamber hearing before Supreme Court Justice Sonya Young.Attorney Leroy Banner is representing Jack Charles, while Deputy Solicitor General, Nigel Hawke, is representing the government agency BAHA, and another attorney, Eamon Courtenay, SC, is seeking to join the case on behalf of local rice producers.When the attorneys exited the court, Banner explained to reporters that the government side made an application to the judge for the case to be adjourned because they need “more time to be fully prepared for the case, and be properly apprised of the information.”Banner said that they will return to court on December 31 to make submissions, and then on January 4, there will be a hearing.

Courtenay explained that he will apply to be joined to the proceedings on behalf of the Mennonite communities of Blue Creek, Spanish Lookout and Shipyard.The court will hear that application and the application by Charles for judicial review. That will be done on Monday, January 4, 2016, Courtenay told 7News.Yesterday, reporters caught up with Banner as he emerged from the Supreme Court Registry where he had gone to file for an urgent judicial review seeking the high court’s intervention on behalf of his client, Jack Charles, who had imported three containers of Guyanese rice that the Belize Agriculture and Health Authority (BAHA)has been refusing to release.

Banner explained that he had to first seek the court’s permission to hear his application, and if he is successful, his judicial review would seek the specific remedy of a declaration of a writ of mandamus, the effect of which would be for the court to order BAHA to release his client’s containers of rice from the port in Big Creek, Independence, Stann Creek District, where it has remained since being imported into the country.

Banner further explained, “From last week we were trying to get in touch with BAHA to find out exactly what the reason was why they have detained our client’s containers. We have given them ample time, we wrote them and no one responded to our request as to put in writing the reason why the containers are being held, and we realized that it has been almost a week and we decided that they will not give us anything in writing, so we filed a motion of judicial review so that they can look at what BAHA did to see if it was justified in holding Mr. Charles’ containers.”

AEC Signals Need for Alliance, Rice Miller Says

Khmer Times/May Kunmakara
 Thursday, 31 December 2015
 For 35-year-old Song Saran, a local rice miller and exporter in Kampong Cham province, the materialization of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) announced by its 10 member states yesterday brings risks and challenges rather than opportunity. “We are really worried by the opening of the regional market. First, because our commercial capacity is smaller than other ASEAN members and second because our production costs are also higher than them. So we are afraid that we cannot compete.
Third, technical resources are very low compared to them and fourth we are worried that it is happening too fast for us in the private sector,” said Mr. Saran who owns Amru Rice (Cambodia), one of the top 10 rice exporters in the Kingdom.  Cambodia’s government and the ASEAN Secretariat have not provided training or technical support specifically for the rice sector in Cambodia.  “We have not received technical or financial support from the government or international institutions supporting us to upgrade our ability to develop our product,” Mr. Saran said.

“So far, we have developed and strengthened our company by ourselves. What we can do is try to better understand what we have and create something new that others do not have or do not want to do, so that we can find a niche that will allow us to compete with other ASEAN member states,” he explained.  The AEC was adopted during the 13th ASEAN Summit on November 20, 2007 in Singapore. Its aim is to transform ASEAN into a region where goods, services, investment, skilled labor and capital flow freely. The “AEC envisages the following key characteristics: a single market and production base, a highly competitive economic region, a region of equitable economic development, and a region fully integrated into the global economy,” the ASEAN Secretariat announced on Wednesday. 

Mr. Saran said his source for information about the AEC is newspapers and a few workshops where the AEC was discussed in general, rather than sector-specific impacts. “I learned [about the AEC] from newspapers and some workshops because we have never received direct support or specific training from any part of ASEAN to support our country. ASEAN officials interviewed us, but they have never helped us directly,” he explained. “Of course, they do in general concept [meeting or seminars] but they don’t have the specific sectors – any sectors have different context. For example, the rice sector is different from others – that is we can lag behind as our economic growth relies on four main sectors: agriculture, construction, tourism and industry. We need to have the direct support for each sector not in general,” he added. 

“We have more than 100 milled rice exporters and more than 200 millers who don’t know what ASEAN is. How are they going to prepare for the AEC? We will definitely lose our competiveness, market edge and our branding because our capacity is limited. However, we will benefit because our labor force is cheaper and [companies] will use us more,” Mr. Saran said. Yong Sarah Zhou, Resident Representative of International Monetary Fund (IMF) to Cambodia,  said that although the opening of the AEC will give opportunities for Cambodia to diversify its export markets, it will also bring risks and challenges  that will require the government to deepen its reforms.  “The regional integration through ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) can provide opportunities for Cambodia to diversify and expand its production and exports. But to reap the benefits, and to better exploit the free market, Cambodia must work hard to improve its competitiveness,” said Ms. Zhou said.   

She said that Cambodia can promote its competitiveness by lowering the overall cost of doing business  through upgrading infrastructure, reducing energy and logistics costs, fixing the skills gap, improving the legal and regulatory environment, and enhancing public services.Economist Srey Chanthy said Cambodia may see more outflow of labor, which could affect its industrial development policy. Skilled laborers in Cambodia may face tougher competition for jobs, while agriculture and local products may also face greater competition. The tourism sector, however, will likely expand with more people visiting from other ASEAN states, he said, adding that the construction sector may have reached its peak. 

“To be able to benefit from the AEC, Cambodia’s public and private sectors have to be more effective, efficient and innovative. There can be lessons for Cambodia to learn from Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and/or Thailand about how to benefit from the AEC,” Mr. Chanthy said. ASEAN is one of the world’s fastest growing regions. Total GDP reached $2.57 trillion in 2014, while real GDP growth is projected to be 4.6 per cent last year, as it was in 2014, before accelerating to 5.1 per cent this year, according to the ASEAN Secretariat. ASEAN’s total merchandise trade stood at $2.53 billion in 2014, of which $608.3 million was intra-ASEAN trade, according to data from the Secretariat, which also said that ASEAN was a major destination for foreign direct investment (FDI) in Asia in 2014, receiving $136.2 billion worth of FDI that year.

Removing tariffs is one of the AEC’s goals, but the bloc’s least developed members – Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar and Vietnam (CLMV) – have an extra three years to accomplish this. ASEAN’s six more developed member states – Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Singapore – have removed import duties on 99.2 percent of all goods, while CLMV have done so on 90.85 percent, according to the Secretariat. Tariff elimination across all of ASEAN stands at 95.99 percent, it said.

 CLMV have committed to abolishing import duties but have some flexibility until 2018, the Secretariat said.Mr. Saran said he has been preparing for the AEC since 2014 and has a strategy to reduce possible risks that could affect his business. He has been networking with milled rice traders in other ASEAN states, and can produce semi-milled rice to supply to them as well as organic rice.He is calling for domestic rice millers to form an alliance in order to share information and experience to maintain competiveness.

“From now on, we will have ASEAN products so we cannot avoid competition with each other. But we don’t want to compete with [Thailand and Vietnam] directly so we will try to diversify our products so that what we produce can complement them,” Mr. Saran said. “We are an ant. We cannot compete with an elephant. We should not compete against each other domestically. We need to be allied.
