Shocking amount of sugar in foods like potatoes could be stretching your waistline, making you fat

Life of a married hooker- Stripping to put food on the table, a cheating spouse There's a new enemy in Britain’s ongoing battle with the bulge. The nation’s obesity crisis is partly being fuelled by the seemingly harmless potato. Scientists have found a single baked spud contains the equivalent of 19 lumps of sugar.

That is nearly three times the seven lumps, or 30g, of daily added sugar recommended by the NHS.

Currently 63 per cent of UK adults are considered overweight or obese and 3.5 million suffer from type 2 diabetes. Experts believe eating too many of the wrong sort of carbohydrates add inches to waistlines. Dietitian Alison Barnes said: ―Looks can be deceiving. Just because a food doesn’t look sweet, it doesn’t mean it won’t release lots of sugar into your bloodstream. ―When you eat a food item, like a jacket potato, your body breaks the starch down into sugar which equates to 19 cubes.‖ She said a small white bagel is packed with 11 lumps and a small bowl of rice equals 20. Her revelations feature in BBC One’s The Truth About Carbs, hosted by medical doctor Xand van Tulleken, a self-confessed carbs addict who once weighed 19 stone. Dr van Tulleken said: ―Too many of us are getting the wrong type of carbs leading to type 2 diabetes. There are three types of carbohydrates – starch, sugar and fibre. "There is lots of starch in potatoes, pasta and bread and lots of sugar in fizzy drinks, sweets and processed foods.

"Once eaten they get broken down into glucose and get into your bloodstream where you body uses it as energy.

―But if we eat too many they are turned to fat. Fruits and vegetables contain fibre which releases energy very slowly and is good for gut health – as well as not making us fat.‖ He said Brits don’t eat enough of a little-known carbohydrate called resistant starch, found in wholegrain loaves, which like fibre, helps keep bowel cancer at bay. Conversely white bread is full of starch that is quickly turned into glucose, he said. He said research showed eating 30g of fibre daily, such as green leafy vegetables, can cut the risk of bowel cancer by 30 per cent. The programme also found white bread can be more healthy if frozen before toasting as some sugary starch turns into resistant starch. Scientists have discovered starchy carbs in pasta, rice and potatoes can be better for us by cooking then cooling. With so much medical advice about diets it can be difficult to know if we are affected. There is a simple test devised by author Dr Sharon Moalem that anyone can do at home to find out how well they tolerate starchy carbs like rice, pasta and bread. Simply chew a small, unsalted cracker and time how long it takes to change taste in the mouth.

If the change takes place fairly quickly it means you can eat a lot of carbs without any problems. If it takes you longer but there is a change, it means you need to watch you intake â&#x20AC;&#x201C; taking care not to overindulge. But if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t experience any change at all after 30 seconds, Dr Moalem suggests your body struggles to process them and you might want to reduce sugar and starchy carbs from your diet. https://www.standardmedia.co.ke/evewoman/article/2001279511/10-best-foods-to-give-youenergy-all-day

Invited to iftar: Twin Ports Muslims welcome community to Ramadan meal By Tom Wilkowske, For the News Tribune on Jun 3, 2018 at 5:00 a.m

People line up for pakora (fritter-like fried lentils) and watermelon before prayer during a traditional Ramadan iftar, or fast-breaking meal, at the Islamic Center of Twin Ports on May 26. During Ramadan, some Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset for 30 days. Many guests said curiosity and friendship brought them to the Ramadan open house. Tyler Schank / / 5

The Twin Ports Islamic Center opened its doors recently to people interested in learning about and taking part in an iftar, the evening meal that's part of the holy month of Ramadan for Muslims.

The event on May 26 drew about 50 members of the mosque as well as about a dozen Christian and Jewish community members from Duluth, Superior and as far away as Grand Rapids. It was part of "Taking Heart," a statewide community outreach project of the Muslim American Society of Minnesota and the Minnesota Council of Churches involving 20-some mosques and Islamic centers. Ramadan marks the time when the first parts of the Koran were revealed to the prophet Mohammed. Considered the holiest time of the year in the Muslim calendar, it is set to conclude this year on June 14. Muslims observe Ramadan by fasting during the daytime, so meals must be eaten before dawn and after sunset. The pre-dawn meal, known as a suhur, is usually taken with family members, but iftar is more often shared with a larger group. Naeem Chaudhry, a Duluth pediatrician and board member of the center, said long daylight hours in northern latitudes like Duluth's make for a very long fast. Even though young children are not required to fast, Chaudhry said his son Muneeb has begged his parents to wake him up for suhur. "It's hard," he laughed. "We've tried, but he doesn't even remember being woken up." But Muneeb, a third-grader with his twin brother Mujeeb at Hermantown Elementary School, was bright-eyed at the iftar and happy to be there. His favorite part of the iftar, he said, is "the food, and being together." Chaudhry said the intent of fasting is to teach Muslims humility, self-restraint, discipline and compassion for those less fortunate. It's also intended to shift the emphasis from our physical selves to our spiritual sides, he added. "It's to bring us closer to God." Although it can seem physically challenging at times, Naeem said the fasting helps him feel healthier, more energetic and yet calmer at the same time, during Ramadan. "I really enjoy getting together to eat and to pray, and all day long feeling very light," he said. In the center's basement, adults and teens sorted into groups and talked while waiting for the fast to end. Most of the women wore hijabs, head-covering scarves, along with colorful robes and

dresses. Men's attire ranged from informal to formal: from jeans, polo shirts and sandals, to business casual, to formal gowns and robes representing the wearer's nationality. Elementary school-age children darted about, bantering, orbiting between their parents and the food-laden tables. Arshia Khan, who with her husband, Imtiaz Mohamed, provided the evening's food, brought out pan after pan of traditional Indian dishes. Bustling in and out of the kitchen, Khan and her helpers set the trays up under chafers to keep them warm. For those who hadn't eaten since before daylight, the wait until 8:50 p.m. must have seemed even longer. But finally, it was time. "Peace to all of you," said center member Nik Rushdi Hassan, who welcomed guests from several area churches a well as Temple Israel. He explained the evening's schedule: first, a snack to break the fast, followed by a prayer upstairs, the full meal, a short program, and finally the evening prayer. After reciting a short prayer, Hassan encouraged everyone to help themselves to food from the snack table and to take "just a little bit just to break the fast," he said. "Traditionally, we start with dates. You can continue enjoying your finger goods as we get ready to go upstairs for the prayer." Besides dates, the table was filled with watermelon, banana bread and pakora, a type of fritter made with chickpea flour and onion. "Try some with ketchup," Chaudhry suggested. After a few minutes, the call to prayer came over the speaker and everyone went upstairs, removing their shoes before entering the worship space. After a few more minutes, prayers were done, and the iftar dinner began. Diners helped themselves to chickpea salad, egg curry, green salad, curried chicken, a creamy vegetable dish called navratan korma, and biryani, seasoned, braised goat served on a bed of long grain basmati rice. Washing it all down with water, soda and black tea, they finished things off with baklava, the flaky, layered pastry soaked in honey and studded with nuts.

The biryani, flavored with lemon, mint, cilantro and yogurt, was heady, rich and tangy, salty and herbal. Although it's sometimes prepared with lamb, Arshia said she prefers goat. "Goat is the most delicious meat you can find, and it's also the leanest." The navratan korma featured a rich broth and cream, which is cooked down as spices and herbs are added one by one. Cilantro, cumin, allspice, turmeric, ginger, garlic paste, tomato, and garam masala each added to the deep, complex flavor. Khan had intended to start preparing the evening's feast meal at 10 a.m. Friday. But her work as an associate professor of computer science at the University of Minnesota Duluth was also pressing. "I'm applying for a grant, and we had to meet for that and besides, it's advising time now for students." With some help from her daughters, Khan started cooking at 4:30 p.m. Friday and didn't stop until nearly 1:45 Saturday morning. Cooking started up again at 10 a.m. and continued until just a few hours before the dinner, she said, at which point the challenge was to keep all the warm food warm. Kahn said her stirring arm was a bit sore in the morning, but it was just part of the giving ethic of Ramadan. "It's about being the best human being you can be for a month and then hopefully, it rubs off on the rest of the year," she said. Center members get together for group iftars on weekends during Ramadan. Some are prepared by a single family and others are potluck meals. The center's ethnic diversity means members have a chance to bring their own Ramadan food traditions to the group. Members hail from Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Palestine, Lebanon, Libya, Iraq, Iran, Sudan and Egypt. Iftar visitors said they appreciated the chance to connect with their Muslim neighbors. "My friend had seen it in the newspaper," said Sally Munger, who with her husband, Will, attends the Unitarian Universalist congregation in Duluth. She had also met Khan through a

program on Islam at UMD a few years ago. "I'm glad to come," she said. "We need more opportunities like this." Munger's friend, Gail Schoenfelder, said she'd been wanting to connect more with members of Duluth's Muslim community, and the iftar provided the perfect opportunity. "I thought, what a great way to come together." As the dinner wound down, a few of the guests were invited to address the group. "We so appreciate your hospitality and hope we can reciprocate it someday in our daily lives and in our worship lives," said the Rev. Therese Tomanek, a retired chaplain from Duluth.

Creeping Afore Election after election, the BJP is demonstrating its growth in Bengal, a new child on the political block snatching attention from better-heeled elders. The recent panchayat polls have been no different. What’s the party’s appeal a symptom of? Prasun Chaudhuri reports Prasun Chaudhuri Jun 03, 2018 00:00 IST ADVANCE PARTY: A rally of the BJP’s Minority Morcha in Calcutta earlier this year; (below) Dilip Ghosh, Amit Shah and Kailash Vijayvargiya at a party meeting in Mahajati Sadan That day when we call up Sukhamay Satpati, Jhargram district president of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), we can barely hear him. It is a week after the announcement of the panchayat poll results in West Bengal. From the sound of it, the BJP party office, 170 kilometres west of Calcutta, is still in the throes of euphoria. Dhamsa, madal and cymbal can be heard in the background. Lusty chants of "Vande Mataram" and "Bharat Mata Ki Jai" drown Satpati's voice and he asks us to call back; he is in the "middle of a historic event".

In the recently-ended panchayat polls, of the 806 gram panchayat seats in Jhargram - a tribal dominated area - the BJP bagged 329 or 42 per cent vote share against Trinamul Congress's 373 seats or 48 per cent of the vote share. Only 14 seats went to the Left Front.

An hour later, Satpati says, "What started as a trickle before the panchayat elections seems to have turned into a flood now." He is talking about the exodus of workers from the TMC to the BJP. Says Satpati, "Today, Bablu Sheikh, president of TMC's youth wing in Jamboni block, joined us along with 500 party workers." Indeed, the BJP's performance in Jhargram is a coup of sorts. The party's tally here is far higher than the state average of 18 per cent vote share. Satpati says, "TMC tried tooth and nail to loot votes, aided by the police and the administration. Even then we bagged so many seats. Had they allowed a fair election, our tally would have crossed 400 seats." According to him, disgruntled locals - mostly tribals - played a key role. He says, "They were betrayed by the TMC, just as they had been by the Left Front for decades. They [TMC] talk of unnayan [development], but unnayan has happened only for party leaders. They travel in personal cars and feast on basmati rice, but people don't get even basic requirements, such as subsidised rice, promised by the chief minister." And yet, even three years ago, the BJP did not have much of a presence in the area. Says Satpati, "We built the base from scratch, reached out to voters in each and every booth. We expect to get a richer dividend in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls." Jhargram is no one-off. In neighbouring Purulia, which has about 20 per cent tribal population, BJP bagged 33 per cent seats as compared to TMC's 43 per cent. Elsewhere, in the tribal belts of Jalpaiguri, Dinajpur and Bankura, the relatively new entrant to Bengal politics has made its presence felt.

"It's not just in the tribal belts, the BJP has secured the second spot in the whole of Bengal," says Sayantan Basu, state general secretary of BJP. According to him, the people of the state have seen governments of all hues - Congress, Left and TMC - and now they want to give BJP a chance. He says, "We dislodged the Left Front, which has completely lost its credibility in the state, from the number two spot." Basu claims there will be further erosion of the Left Front vote bank and predicts a much-enhanced BJP kitty in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. BJP worker Tarakeswar Ghosh, at Hanskhali in Nadia, is excited. Ghosh, who joined the party five years ago, is getting ready for a ceremony wherein hundreds of CPI(M) cadres and dissident TMC workers are poised to join the BJP. State leaders are expected to anoint the new workers with an eye on the Lok Sabha polls. "Hordes of people are joining the BJP now. Many of them

had joined the TMC with a lot of hope but now they are sick of the dadagiri of some leaders," he says. In Nadia, the BJP has bagged 647 gram panchayat seats compared to TMC's 1,641. Ghosh, however, believes his party's tally would have crossed 1,000. He says, "The TMC goons did not allow our candidates to even file nominations for the elections at several places." Then adds in a dead-serious voice, "Please note, in 2019, both Krishnagar and Ranaghat Lok Sabha seats will come to BJP." He talks about how the party is aggressively backing its resolve to build a sangathan or organisation in the districts. It is reaching out to more people. And there are enough funds to support all efforts. Rajya Sabha MP and The Telegraph columnist Swapan Dasgupta is happy that the BJP has emerged as the principal Opposition in Bengal. He says, "BJP's rise can be traced to the highhandedness of TMC leaders, factional wars and widespread violence unleashed by them during the panchayat polls. It's a kind of an overkill by the TMC to decimate all opposition and I'm sure this mindless strategy will rebound in favour of the BJP." Ghosh seems to agree. He says, "The TMC has unleashed such a reign of terror that people will spontaneously vote them out if polls are held under proper security arrangements... they are getting entangled in their own web of misrule and injustice, just like the Left Front before it." Dasgupta, however, is far from complacent. He says, "I can't say the party has been able to build a robust organisation at the grassroots level, except in the tribal belts." According to him, the fate of the 2019 Lok Sabha will depend on whether the organisation gets stronger in the next 10-11 months. He also harps on the need to have strong leaders in most places. Trinamul MP Saugata Ray obviously rubbishes the BJP's claims and complaints. He says, "The RSS-BJP combine has not been able to make any political breach in the psyche of voters in Bengal. They've just filled up a small vacuum created by the Left Front and Congress." He continues, "They haven't been able to make any impact on our vote share. They are now a distant second and will remain so for a long time. I doubt whether they'll be able to retain the two Lok Sabha seats they won in 2014." That might be the party line, but ground reports indicate a different trend. It is not as if the BJP is idly reaping the Left's failures. It is anything but a passive force, as economist and political activist Prasenjit Bose points out. He says, "The BJP has got inside through the fissure by creating communal tension in areas such as Basirhat, Baduria and Dhulagarh aided by fringe Right-wing organisations. The Left has continually been on a downslide since 2011."

In the last four years, the Sangh has recruited hundreds of youths for their IT cell. In turn, they have ensured they appeal to "Bengali pride" and "Hindu sentiment" and pile accusations of rampant minority appeasement on the Mamata Banerjee government. Fringe groups such as the Hindu Samhati have been working to revive the memory of the communal riots at the time of Partition - they bring up and keep alive the loss of human lives, property, they have revived the dialogue of what could have been and what is. Says Basu of the BJP, "Those Bengalis who lost their homes in Bangladesh after Partition and felt betrayed by the Leftists are shifting to the BJP. They don't want to lose their identity and homes again." Social media has been harnessed to drive home this propaganda and achieve a political breach. Mohammed Salim, MP and CPI(M) politburo member, puts forth squarely his theory. He firmly believes that the chief architect of the BJP's rise in Bengal is none other than the chief minister herself. "They've been placed at the second spot in Bengal by design; she is the chief designer. Everything is happening in collusion with the Sangh parivar," he says. He suggests that the TMC has worked in tandem with the BJP and the Sangh parivar ever since the party was born. Says Salim, "She pretends to be at loggerheads with the BJP on stage, but behind it she's part of a larger game plan of the Sangh parivar. They're using the common tool of religious polarisation. She pretends to appease the minority, while the BJP appeases the majority community. It's competitive communalism." Salim blames Banerjee for "systemically destroying democracy and the panchayati raj system built by the Left Front". Political analyst and psephologist Biswanath Chakraborty argues that far from being threatened, TMC has consolidated the Muslim votes in the state. He says, "Siddhartha Shankar Ray, Jyoti Basu, Buddhadeb Bhattacharya and Mamata Banerjee couldn't have become chief ministers if they hadn't been able to polarise the minority votes." According to him, Banerjee has been able to convince the minorities that it's a battle for their survival, a dharmayuddha, while the BJP has alienated them. The BJP, in his opinion, has been able to attract some Hindu voters who used to vote for the Left Front, but all Muslim voters of the Left Front as well as the Congress have turned to the TMC. He says, "It's time the BJP realises that to win elections in Bengal, you have to either split Muslim votes or grab a sizeable portion of it." For the moment, though, it is just happy to feed off disaffections created by the TMC, Left and Congress, and consolidate. The numbers are there to show it's growing across the state. https://www.telegraphindia.com/states/west-bengal/creeping-afore-234908

Multi-purpose tiller from PhilRice to bring savings, and boost farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; production June 2, 2018:by Carlo Cordova

PhilRice (Philippine Rice Research Institute) will be testing a new, multi-purpose tiller this year. The tiller will use an engine with less horsepower than what is used by current power tillers. It will translate into less fuel expenses for farmers all over the country.

It will be recalled that PhilRice officials had earlier stated that technology could help farmers survive the effects of the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion (TRAIN) law. Fuel costs for farmers have gone up by 14.5 percent, translating to additional cost of P2,014 per hectare.

Senator Bam Aquino has lobbied for suspending the implementation of TRAIN, particularly the excise tax on fuel. The Department of Finance, however, has stated that TRAIN would prevent even higher prices in the future. Besides, the rising cost of fuel can also be attributed to the global market.

The new power tiller being developed by PhilRice will have manifold purposes. It would serve as transplanter, seeder, rotovator, and even as a multiseeder â&#x20AC;&#x201C; good for multicropping. Think of a photocopier that can also be used for scanning and printing, and you get the basic idea.

In his explanation, Dr. Arnold S. Juliano emphasized how farmers could save over 50 percent. Instead of spending on two machines, you just buy one machine and spend considerably less on an attachment.

An illustrative example is a hand tractor with a price of P100,000. The attachment that may be bought to also use the machine as a transplanter costs around P70,000. Hence, your total cost is about P170,000, as opposed to buying a separate transplanter machine with a price of P350,000.

Let us not forget that not all farmers can purchase machines that cost nearly half-a-million pesos. In fact, having exchanged correspondence with regional offices of the Department of Agriculture in the past, my understanding is that some machines are donated to farmers, or farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; association.

Juliano, who heads PhilRiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engineering and mechanization division, also noted the new power tillerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s distinctive features. It can rotate 180 degrees, something that cannot be done by current available models.

Being locally manufactured, the power tiller will not bring problems caused by parts and services. As with any equipment that requires repairs, cost of parts gets more expensive when sourced from abroad.

The tiller will have gear-type transmission, and is set to be tested this year. We can only hope that it can be made available soonest for the benefits of farmers nationwide. We often hear the line that states farmers are the backbone of the country. It is good to know that technology is here to help that backbone boost production. https://www.technochops.com/multi-purpose-tiller-from-philrice-to-bring-savings-and-boostfarmers-production/10867/

Govt to impose SRP on agri products BY EIREENE JAIREE GOMEZ ON JUNE 3, 2018

THE government will impose suggested retail price (SRP) on various agricultural products and imported rice, the Department of Agriculture (DA) said. Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel F. Piñol said a technical working group will look into the prevailing prices of key products including rice, poultry, fish, pork and eggs before coming up with the SRP.The National Price Coordinating Council proposed the imposition of SRPs on key agricultural products as a precautionary measure to keep prices in check. ―Basically, we agree that there should be an SRP on basic commodities like rice, vegetables and fish. But as a whole, the different sectors supported the idea of having an SRP,‖ Piñol told reporters on Thursday after his meeting with agriculture companies and stakeholders. ―After the consultation today, the technical working group, based on the inputs of the stakeholders, will formulate the SRP.Maybe next week, we will be able to announce it,‖ he added. Agriculture products have not been covered by the SRP system, which is applied on manufactured goods, as their prices are volatile due to seasonality. Piñol said imposing SRP will protect consumers and producers. ―The reason why we invited the stakeholders is because these are the producers. We asked them how much would they need to produce one kilo of these and those so that wewill be able to come up with the computations already of how much we should dictate to the market,‖ he explained.―It’s a bit complicated but the intention is to protect our consumers, protect the producers as well,‖ he added.The agriculture chief said his department also plans to impose an SRP on imported rice. The DA is coordinating with the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) for the computations.―I really believe imported rice should not be more expensive than local. In fact, it should be lower than local rice,‖ Piñol said.

Will the gains in exports be offset by higher imports this year too? Despite an impressive export growth last year, the trade deficit widened owing to an increase in imports. Will higher imports this year too offset the increase in exports to result in a further expansion in the trade deficit? The expectation that the export growth since March 2017 would reduce last year’s trade deficit was not realized as imports increased more than exports. Although exports increased by 10.2 percent in 2017, the trade deficit expanded from the previous year’s US$ 8.87 billion to reach as much as US$ 9.62 billion in 2017.

The expectation that the trade deficit would be reduced in 2017 was owing to an uptrend in exports from March 2017. The export growth of 10.2 percent last year was mainly due to the resumption of the GSP plus status by European Union (EU) countries that led to an increase in manufactured exports, mostly garments, and sea food. However the expectation that the trade deficit would be reduced was not realized owing to the increase in imports by US$ 1.8 billion that exceeded the export growth of US$ 1 billion. Reasons There were of course extenuating reasons for the increase in imports last year. The severe drought in 2018 reduced food production that necessitated increased imports of food, especially rice and wheat. The low rainfall also meant lesser hydro electricity generation that necessitated higher fuel imports for thermal generation. In addition international oil prices also increased. As a result of these food imports increased by 14 percent and fuel imports increased by 37 percent. These increased imports wiped out the gains in export earnings. In fact import expenditure recorded the highest ever value of US$ 21 billion in 2017. First two months Although exports increased in the first two months of this year by 8.6 percent, imports increased by 17.1 percent to completely offset the gains in export growth. While exports increased by US$ 148 million, imports increased by US$ 582 million. This resulted in a trade deficit of US$ 2111 million for the first two months of this year. If the trade deficit in the first two months continues this year’s trade deficit would be even higher than that of last year and would probably exceed US$ 10 billion. As the first two month’s trade performance indicates, this trend of an increasing trade deficit, in spite of export growth, is continuing into 2018. Will this year’s trade performance be similar with the trade deficit expanding further, despite a continued growth in exports owing to an increase in imports that is larger than the growth in exports? To avoid such an increase in the trade deficit, either imports should be contained or exports should gain further momentum. Expectation There are reasons to think that the trade deficit could be reduced in the next nine months. On the import side, several imports that increased last year are expected to decline this year. This includes rice imports that are expected to be negligible owing to the bumper paddy harvest in Maha 2018.

The imposition of a 15 percent tax on gold imports in April is expected to reduce gold imports. While fuel imports are expected to be reduced mainly due to lesser needs for thermal generation of electricity, this gain could be wiped out by higher international prices. Furthermore fuel consumption for transport is unlikely to be reduced due to the inelasticity of demand (demand not decreasing much due to the increase in prices) for oil. Exports The prospect of a continuing growth in exports is most likely. In the first two months itself exports grew by over 5 percent to US$ 1.9 billion. Tea prices are likely to be high and tea export volumes too may increase owing to a higher exportable surplus. Garments exports that have been increasing are expected to increase. The growth in sea food export is also expected to increase in the coming months. Trade balance These expected developments imply that the containment of imports is vital to achieve a better trade performance. Further tariff, fiscal and monetary measures are needed to achieve this. However there are reasons to think that austerity measures are unlikely owing to political compulsions and there may be easing of imports to gain popularity. In making decisions the government must take into consideration the balance of payments implications of increasing import demand. Summing up Incurring of massive trade deficits is unsustainable. It is the main cause for the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weak balance of payments. As we have pointed out in earlier columns, a trade surplus is vital to strengthen the balance of payments and enhance the reserves as the large debt repayment of US$ 4.2 billion next year would strain the external finances. Since the trade deficit is caused by high imports, fiscal and monetary policies must ensure a curtailment of imports. Reduction of fuel imports that cost US$ 3.4 billion last year is essential to make a dent on imports. Vehicle imports that have increased due to tariff and government policies must be reviewed to reduce import expenditure on these. Monetary policies require to constrain aggregate demand so as to reduce import consumption. The government must be serious about improving the trade balance. Austerity measures are crucial to avoid a large trade deficit and balance of payments difficulties. The trade deficit could also be reduced if exports increase by a much higher amount. Both manufactured exports such as garments, ceramics and rubber goods would require to increase substantially. The prospect of agricultural exports increasing is mostly dependent on tea prices increasing and higher output of tea.

As the country has a high propensity to import with most imports being essential, the long term strategy to reduce the trade deficit is a significant increase in exports by increasing the country’s exportable surplus and diversification of export markets. These require a number of reforms and appropriate policies. If exports are not increased significantly, the country will continue to face large trade deficits http://www.sundaytimes.lk/180603/columns/will-the-gains-in-exports-be-offset-by-higherimports-this-year-too-296862.html

Pakistan’s unfolding water disaster Water scarcity is a ticking bomb that could go off any time in the near future Jehangir Khattak JUNE 2, 2018

The amount of water available for Kharif crops has declined by 42 percent. This has happened due to a decrease in water inflow to reservoirs, and is an ominous sign for Pakistan’s water and food security. The Indus River System Authority says water inflow decreased from9.32 millionacre-feet (MAF) to around 7.9 MAF, the worst in five years. On its May 15 meeting, the IRSA advisory committee noted that the water shortage experienced since the start of the sowing season had turned out to be much higher than the previous estimate of 31 percent. The Kharif crop season starts from April-June and lasts until October-December in different parts of the country. Rice, sugarcane, cotton and maize are some of the key crops of the season. Non-availability of water at such a critical time of sowing season is bound to impact food production. Experts say much will now depend on the monsoon showers. At the meeting, all the five members of IRSA urged the government to build new reservoirs on a ―war footing‖. But completion of reservoirs in the short term remains a pipe dream. Even though the much-awaited and less-debated National Water Policy (NWP) was approved in April, the roadmap to securing our water remains largely hazy. The policy approval, giving to rest years old disputes between Sindh and Punjab, is a significant achievement but the enormous water challenge needs much more political commitment and institutional action than an agreement between feuding provinces. The Pakistan Council of Research in Water Resources says the country has about a seven years window to plug this gap. PCRWR predicts that the country will approach ―absolute scarcity‖ water levels by 2025 if its storage capacity is not enhanced. The NWP aims at doubling the water storage capacity from the current abysmal 30 days to 60, which looks highly unlikely, given the level of seriousness at the official level. And even if Pakistan achieves this feat by completing three Mangla sized dams on fast track by 2025, or even dozens of smaller ones, our

water future remains insecure because it will need an additional 60 days storage capacity to reach the global minimum of 120 days. Neighbouring India has 220 days water carry over capacity while Egypt, a lower riparian country like Pakistan, has over 900 days. Pakistan’s water challenge will be further compounded by the effects of global warming. It is losing its balmy spring to scorching summer at a pace never anticipated before. Temperatures shot past 40 degrees Celsius in March and 50 Celsius in April in parts of southern Pakistan Pakistan’s water challenge will be further compounded by the effects of global warming. It is losing its balmy spring to scorching summer at a pace never anticipated before. Temperatures shot past 40 degrees Celsius in March and 50Celsius in April in parts of southern Pakistan. Scientists warn that such odd spikes in mercury will be the new normal in the changing weather patterns. If non-seasonal high temperatures remain persistent, food production will be adversely effected. The rule of thumb for temperature versus crop nourishment, experts say, is simple – a 1-degree Celsius increase in temperature can drive down crop yield by 10 percent. Higher temperatures increase the water demand for both agriculture and domestic consumption and can trigger a full-blown crisis, especially when it is not available. WAPDA has reported that snow availability in the catchment areas of reservoirs was 50 percentless than normal this year and rivers are likely to receive 11 MAF less water. Most of the seven rivers flowing into Pakistan from Afghanistan, including Kabul, are also likely to stay below normal. Afghanistan received the lowest snowfall in the past 17 years this winter. Agriculture in the landlocked country heavily dependent on water from melting snow. A decrease in snowmelt is adversely impacting its food production. It is already grappling with a drought affecting two-thirds of the country, triggering food shortages. The United Nations has warned that a 2.5 million tons shortage of wheat this year could impact up to two million people. Food shortages in Afghanistan will bring Pakistan’s agriculture sector under more pressure, and demand additional grain stocks. But growing more grain will be a challenge while also dealing with worsening water scarcity. Low inflows in rivers is bound to increase pressure on Pakistan’s depleting aquifers. It is already pumping more water out of ground than can be replenished naturally. A 2015 NASA study found that the Indus Basin aquifer, shared between India and Pakistan, is the second most overdrawn in the world, sinking the water tables at rates as high as three feet a year in Indian Punjab, one of the two states that produces 37 percent of India’s food. The situation is no different on the Pakistani side. Quetta is projected to run out of water by the middle of the century, or even before, if additional water resources are not mobilised. The

situation in Karachi is even worse while Gwadar, the mainstay of our CPEC-driven future economy, is already without water. High population rate, lack of storage capacity and overall degradation of water quality are the three factors, other than drop in water inflows and tumbling underground tables, which will accentuate the water crisis. Despite this unfolding disaster, Pakistan’s Investment in maintenance, improvement and expansion of its vast hydraulic infrastructure has remained dangerously low. No new reservoirs have been built in the last 44 years since the completion of the Tarbela Dam in 1974. A few are either on the drawing board or subject of preliminary hydrological and environmental studies, and none in advance stages of completion. Thus, no significant increase in the storage capacity is expected in the short term. Hypothetically, even if the government doubles the water storage capacity over the next ten years, it will still not fill the gap between demand and supply because of population explosion, urbanisation, and water mismanagement. The rapidly growing population, projected to reach 261 million by 2035, will bring more pressure on the agriculture sector to produce food for an additional 50 million people. Water shortage and climate change-driven high temperatures will make it almost impossible to increase food production to meet the demand, unless some drastic measures are taken to increase the water availability and to conserve available resources. This is a ticking bomb that could go off any time in the near future. The unfolding disaster is an existential threat – one much more threatening than terrorism — and needs a firm political commitment, innovation and long-term planning with clearly defined short term objectives.

Time to look beyond our comparative advantage JUNE 2, 2018 BY PAKISTANTODAY

ď&#x201A;ˇ

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still basic economics

By Dr Khurram The theory of comparative advantage suggests that a country should produce whatever it is most efficient in producing. In the simplest of cases; a country good at producing, say, guns should produce them and trade their excess production with the country which is good at producing, say, butter. Thereby maximising the welfare of consumers in both countries where they get each product at the lowest possible price. This being said we should keep this point in mind and move forward, we will come back to it later. In Pakistan, every seminar, policy discussion and debate starts with the ill fated textile industry since we are supposed to have comparative advantage in it, and ends with new resolves and policy options to improve upon its issues and boost the exports in textile sector with an aim to shirk the ever widening balance of trade crisis. Energy crisis, increased competition, lack of government support, and lack of technology are considered as the main hurdles to more growth in this sector. At present, the textile industry exports of Pakistan accounted for almost 60.03pc of our total exports in FY 16-17). The second in line is rice, which accounted for 7.75pc of the total exports. Pakistan earned revenue of Rs.953 billion from textile exports in 2016. So all the policy options that we discuss are focused on increasing these exports to capture more of the total textile demand in the world. We intend to beat Vietnam, Turkey, India, South Korea, US and China in this race for textile market. All of this under the umbrella of Comparative Advantage.

Now let us take a trip down the memory lane and evaluate our not very recent textile performance. In the early period we restricted our cotton exports as it was the main ingredient for textile goods. Then up till Dec 2004 we could enjoy a quota in world textile demand. In short the industry was protected. There was no energy crisis in the country and everything was smooth and we had ample time to improve the textile sector technology that we now raise hue and cry about in every debate, discussion and seminar. Then the quota was lifted on January 1, 2005 and we met with competitors like India and China who increased their market shares in United States during Jan-Jul 2005. Pakistan’s share in the most lucrative category in textiles; ―Apparel and Accessories‖, remained same while China’s grew from 17.7 to 27pc, followed by India i.e. 3.7 to 4.5pc. While in ―Textile and Fabrics‖ Pakistan’s share fell by 24.5 percent. Around 25 percent of the quotas removed in the final stages were in fabrics category.

Now let us look at the scenario from the other dimension of trade. Our imports are based on heavy machinery, transport equipment, electronics and crude oil. As per Economic Survey 201617 stats we had 46.33pc of our total imports in the form of electrical goods, non-electrical machinery, transport equipment, and petroleum products. This amounts to almost Rs1862 billion as against Rs.953 billion from exports. So we run trade deficit right at the start when our major exports which are 60pc of the total do not give use enough revenue to finance even few of our major import costs which are only 46pc of the total imports. Our major imports are more than twice in value to our major exports. Just answer this simple question: ―How many T-shirts do you have to produce and sell to pay for one laptop or one barrel of oil or an imported car?‖ The theory is perfectly right in its true sense; consumer’s welfare is maximised. But in the long run when government faces a deficit it increases taxes and squeezes out the same population

The theory is perfectly right in its true sense; consumer’s welfare is maximised. But in the long run when government faces a deficit it increases taxes and squeezes out the same population. So the issue is not with the comparative advantage, the issue is our understanding of the theory. We must consider that governments need to function, and for that they need revenue. Free trade and comparative advantage suits the countries that have comparative advantages in cars, or laptop etc, i.e. in goods that pay more than an item from our domestically produced garments’ list. I must add that every policy decision starts with ―Why?‖, then ―How?‖ and ―When?‖ We followed it in distant past for the first time when we choose textile as our main focus but in the present competitive context we always start with the later two for our trade policy, and assume that the‖ Why?‖, which was answered some 40-50 years ago is still valid in the current global environment. We forget that in those times our imports, other than petroleum products, were far cheaper than an iPhone or a 1000cc fuel efficient fully featured car. In essence the objective of this article is not to discourage trade boosts in textile industry. After all it is almost 60pc of our total exports and we must make policy reforms to boost this number. The objective is to highlight the policy of attempting to buy laptops by selling T-shirts is not sustainable in the long run. We must focus on other industries as well, and formulate policies to enter agreements with other countries to boost technology based industry as well. We must also acknowledge that laptops and other electronics do not grow out of land like agriculture so countries like Japan, China, and Taiwan had to strive for their production efficiency; hence they achieved comparative advantage in those high paying products. When we talk about CPEC and China consider bringing in its industry, why can’t we make agreements to bring in cell phone manufacturing or engine manufacturing into Pakistan (even if it is for an electricity generator). These small steps can later help in acquiring the desired technologies and take our export portfolio diversification out of nature given comparative advantage.

Study: Planet-Warming Gasses Make Food Less Nutritious June 03, 2018

Laborers transplant rice seedlings in a paddy field in Qalyub, in the El-Kalubia governorate, northeast of Cairo, Egypt, June 1, 2016.

A new study shows that rising levels of planet-warming gases may reduce important nutrients in food crops. Researchers studied the effects of one such gas -- carbon dioxide -- on rice. The researchers grew rice plants in a controlled environment. They set carbon dioxide levels to what scientists are predicting for our planet by the end of the century. They found that the resulting rice crops had lower than normal levels of vitamins, minerals and protein.

The researchers said the effects of planet-warming gasses would be most severe for the poorest citizens in some of the least developed countries. These people generally eat the most rice and have the least complex diets, they noted.A report on the study was published in the journal Science Advances. In the experiment, scientists grew 18 kinds of rice in fields in China and Japan. They pumped carbon dioxide gas over the plants in an effort to create the atmosphere of the future.

Rice grown under high carbon dioxide conditions had, on average, 13 to 30 percent lower levels of four B vitamins and 10 percent less protein. The crops also had 8 percent less iron and 5 percent less zinc than rice grown under normal conditions.However, vitamin E levels increased by about 13 percent on average.

A farmer works in a rice field in Naypyitaw, Myanmar, March 2, 2018.The results are bad news, "especially for the nutrition of the poorer population in less-developed countries," said the University of Tokyoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kazuhiko Kobayashi, who helped to write the report.

That includes about 600 million people in Indonesia, Cambodia, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Laos and other nations, mainly in Southeast Asia, the report said. Other studies have shown that higher temperatures from climate change and weather extremes will reduce food production. But scientists are finding that rising levels of carbon dioxide and other planet-warming gasses threaten food quality.Earlier studies showed that wheat, maize, rice, field peas and soybeans grown under high carbon dioxide conditions all had lower levels of protein and minerals. Scientists estimated that almost 150 million people might be at risk of having too little protein or zinc in their diet by 2050.

Rice stalks ready for harvesting are pictured in a field near the Mayon volcano in Daraga, Albay, in central Philippines, April 3, 2016. One of the scientists is Sam Myers of Harvard University in the American state of Massachusetts. He said that findings like this are an example of the surprises climate change creates."My concern is, there are many more surprises to come," he said.Myers noted that pollution, loss of some species, destruction of forests, and other human activities are likely to produce unexpected problems. He said that you cannot completely change all the natural systems that living organisms have grown to depend on over millions of years without having effects come back to affect our own health.The new study suggests a way to lower the nutritional harm of climate change.One way, Kobayashi said, is to grow different forms of rice that have shown to be more resistant to higher carbon dioxide levels.Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Phil Dierking.

Rice grown in desert, using seawater with over double the global average yields brian wang | June 3, 2018

One day large sections of desert could be turned into rice paddy fields. Chinese scientists have successfully grown and harvested rice in the deserts of Dubai after developing a strain that allows the crop to grow in saltwater.China’s ―father of hybrid rice‖ Yuan Longping, has already grown rice in diluted sea-water and is now bringing the technique to the Middle East. In the Middle East fresh water is too precious to use for growing water-intensive crops.The high yield reported – 7,500kg per hectare compared with the global average of 3,000kg per hectare – has encouraged scientists to expand the project. They now plan to set up a 100-hectare experimental farm later this year, put it into regular use next year and then start expanding after 2020. Eventually, the report said, the goal is to cover around 10 percent of the United Arab Emirates, which has a total area of 83,600 sq km (32,278 sq miles), with paddy fields – although details as to how this will be achieved have yet to be disclosed. Israel or Australia have been developing desalination techniques to convert seawater for use in agriculture, but China has been working to develop strains of salt-resistant rice for the past four decades. China has one million square kilometers of waste land – an area the size of Ethiopia – where plants struggle to grow because of high salinity or alkalinity levels in the soil.

If a tenth of this area was planted with saltwater rice, it could boost Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rice production by nearly 20 percent, producing 50 million tonnes of food â&#x20AC;&#x201C; enough to feed 200 million people https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2018/06/rice-grown-in-desert-using-seawater-with-over-doublethe-global-average-yields.html
