The 30-share Sensex soared 358.42 points, or 0.98%, to close at 36,975.23. The broader Nifty jumped 128.10 points, or 1.17%, to 11,062.45.
Investor sentiment was bullish ahead of the Reserve Bank of India's policy outcome, scheduled for Thursday, analysts said.
The RBI's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) began its three-day meet Tuesday to decide on key rates.
According to experts, the MPC is likely to change its policy stance to 'neutral' from the current 'calibrated tightening' on low inflation footprint but would refrain from cutting interest rates due to fiscal challenges and rising crude oil prices.
RBI will have room to provide a dovish tilt to the upcoming policy along with a change in stance, a Kotak report said.
In the Sensex pack, Bajaj Finance, Tata Steel, ONGC, Bajaj Auto, Sun Pharma, NPTC, Coal India, Maruti, Tata Motors, ICICI Bank and Reliance surged up to 4.34%.
On the other hand, Axis Bank and IndusInd Bank fell up to 0.54%.
Broader indices, however, ended on a mixed note, with the BSE LargeCap rallying 1.13%, BSE MidCap slipping 0.12% and BSE SmallCap inching up 0.05%.
Sectorally, banking, pharma, metal and IT stocks led the rally, jumping over 2%.
Sustained buying by domestic and foreign institutional investors also boosted trading sentiment, traders said. On a net basis, foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) bought shares worth a net of ₹420.65 crore Tuesday, and domestic institutional investors (DIIs) were net buyers to the tune of ₹194.31 crore, provisional data available with BSE showed.
Elsewhere in Asia, Japan's Nikkei rose 0.14%. Bourses in China and Korea remained closed for the Lunar New Year holidays.
In the Eurozone, Frankfurt's DAX was down 0.43% while Paris CAC 40 fell 0.40% in late morning deals. London's FTSE shed 0.32%.
The rupee, meanwhile, depreciated 5 paise against the U.S. dollar to 71.62 intra-day.
The benchmark Brent crude futures fell 0.76% to $61.51 per barrel.

Flickr users furious as critical issues still plague the platform following Yahoo transition
July 11, 2019 Articles: Digital Photography Review (dpreview.com) News: Digital Photography Review
As part of its final transition off of Yahoo servers, Flickr underwent site-wide maintenance on May 22, 2019. Originally, Flickr had only planned to have its sites and mobile apps offline for 'about' twelve hours. However, the process took longer than anticipated and even after the transition was complete there were a number of issues the Flickr team came across.
In an update made on May 24, 2019 on the original post announcing the scheduled maintenance, Flickr said '[the] website is up and stable, and it's running faster than ever.' But it's now a month and a half out from the transition and Flickr users across the globe are still experiencing critical issues across both the main website and Flickr mobile apps, with little word from Flickr support as to what's going on.
A small assortment of forum posts from the past 24 hours, most of which are inquiring about issues they've come across as a result of the transition, and some of which are addressing the lack of support outreach on Flickr's behalf.
Since the transition, users have seen photo collections disappear, statistics vanish, uploads fail and dozens of other issues arise when using Flickr, as noted by the countless threads on Flickr's Help Forum. Users, many of whom appear to have 'Flickr Pro,' based on the badges next to their profiles, are claiming Flickr support is unresponsive and failing to address why things went wrong and when they can expect the issues to be fixed.
While individual users might not be receiving the support they've requested, Flickr has shared a dedicated blog post detailing the known issues that still remain for the transition and it is consistently updating the page to note when certain problems have been fixed. As of writing publishing this article, the last update to Flickr's blog post was July 10, 2019, when it noted that issues with the Maps and geofences have been addressed for the most part.
The latest update on Flickr's blog post that's being used to track issues as they are discovered and addressed.
That said, there are still are still 14 bolded issues that Flickr alone has pointed out and are yet to be addressed, including issues with mobile push notifications, the Flickr Android app, mobile photo editing, uploading issues, login problems (which we here at DPReview have come across) and more. Multiple threads in the Flickr Help Forum have users saying they're dropping the service and won't be renewing their 'Flickr Pro' account in the future.
DPReview has contacted Flickr for clarification on what went wrong. We will update this article accordingly if/when we receive a response.

As an American living, studying and working in Florence, I have noticed many cultural differences.
The nightlife culture is no exception.
The biggest difference I have noticed since coming to Florence is that there is something to do, somewhere to go, and someone to see, every night of the week. Due to the high amount of study abroad participants that choose to take their partying elsewhere on the weekend, the biggest days in Florence for nightlife are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. The bars, pubs and clubs around Florence have definitely taken a noticing to the fact that there are 6,000 American students studying here, meaning that there are a plethora of American-tailored places to hang out. If you choose to stick to your American-roots, frequenting any of these spots will allow you to meet lots of other American students from all over the US, as well as those Italians who choose to partake in American drinking rituals. If you want a guaranteed good night in Florence, follow this guide.
Mondays are the new Thursdays, or something like that. The feeling of celebrating the end of the week (for those who don't have class on Friday), getting together with your friends to blow off some steam, and tossing back one too many on a Thursday night is felt through-and-through on Mondays in Florence. Why celebrate another week passing when you can celebrate another week beginning here?
Rubaconte Mondays (shout out @SmartTripFlorence): SmartTrip puts on a Monday night dinner each week for 15 euro. You get a family-style appetizer as well as three different kinds of pasta, unlimited bread and bottomless wine. Looking for a great way to start off your night that doesn't involved bars and tabs? FaceBook message any one of the SmartTrip reps that have inevitably tried to talk to you on the street and have absolutely already friended you.
Green Street Bar: Right down the street from Rubaconte, sits Green. It's a tiny bar with a great staff, they take American currency on a $1-1 ratio, and there is a great lofted area from which you can view the debauchery going on below. Grab some Sangria for 3 euros (4 euros every other night of the week). They also offer a stamp to get into YAB for free if you arrive before midnight.
YAB (shown): If you're still kickin' after Rubicante and Green, I commend you. Your next stop will be YAB, an underground club close to Piazza Republica. Mondays are hip hop nights, meaning you'll get all the best hip hop music from Tupac to Rae Sremmurd. Italian teenagers and 20-something Americans fill the crowd, but keep a look out for the 80-year-old man that makes his rounds at YAB every Monday.
Tuesdays are equivalent to Fridays. A little more lowkey, tired out from Thursday and wanting to be prepared for Saturday, Friday serves as the buffer; so in comes Tuesday to buffer out your wild Monday/Wednesday combo.
Start with aperitivo. If you don't know what this Italian ritual is yet, you need to learn. Aperitivo is a beautiful tradition, that makes me sad I ever have to return to America, in which you buy your favorite drink at various locations and then you get access to an unlimited buffet of appetizer-style food. Each place offers a different kind of food, usually drinks range from 5-10 euro. Some honorable mentions are Oibo and Moyo. Both have great music, great drinks, and great food. Oibo will get mad at you if you stay too long, however. Moyo has a lounge room in the back corner, so if you travel in packs (like many Americans), Moyo will accommodate you willingly.
Rex Cafe: Go to Rex if you know what's up. Live Jazz music every Tuesday at 10, great lounge seating and fantastic drinks. Much more of a relaxed vibe, so it's a great place to bring a few friends, hang out and listen to live music.
Red Garter: If you felt so inspired by the music at Rex that you want to make your own, head to Red Garter next for karaoke. Whether you feel like embarrassing yourself, or you feel like watching other people embarrass themselves, Red Garter is a great place to go. It has a very American vibe, but they have great beer and will show you a good time.
Wednesdays have replaced Saturday Night in my heart. These tend to be the loudest night, and it seems like all 6,000 abroad kids decide to go out on Wednesdays. The streets are full of people and anywhere you choose to go will be fun.
Lion's Fountain: 5 euro margaritas and 1.5 euro tacos starting at 6pm to kick off "Mexican Night" at Lion's Fountain. Show your American ID to purchase a Livestrong style bracelet for 1 euro that will allow you to get a free shot with every drink you order. Lion's has a sports-bar feel during any soccer or Rubgy game, and is a great place to have a beer while you watch. There is also karaoke here, so come hang out, have a margarita (or two) and listen to the greats being sung by the averages.
Atlantic Pub (shown): Next head to Wet N' Wild Wednesdays at Atlantic. They have great drink deals including 5 shots for 5 euro, 5 euro cocktails, and 12 euro pitchers with a drink card. Upstairs they have beer pong, on the first floor they have darts, a great DJ and an area to dance and chat. There's plenty of seating, so bring your friends. They also offer stamps for free admission to Space if you get to Space before 12:30.
Space: SpaceClub holds "College Night" every Wednesday, meaning that it will be chock-full of other American abroad students. They have a great VIP section as well as balconies that overlook the sea of people below. There is a bar on the ground floor as well as one in the main area of the club. Plenty of seating if your feet get tired from dancing your heart out, but expect long lines for the bars and bathrooms.
Doner Kebab (or any Kebab place): This place is awesome. The Kebabs are delicious and a great price. I recommend the chicken, and make sure to get American fries inside.
Mister Pizza (shown): Great pizza, open super late, and it delivers.
Pane e Toscana: Open late, great place for sandwiches.
These recommendations will show you a good time and won't push anyone too far out of their normal college lifestyle. If you want to do something different, I always find that the best nights happen at places that are very low key, a great place to get to know new people on your program, or to get a taste of real Italian nightlife culture. My real recommendation is to get a couple of your friends together and walk through an area that you like and know until you find a hole-in-the-wall place to sit. Pro tip: It's very frowned upon in Italy to add anything into their wine (such as Sulfates), so almost every bottle of wine in Italy comes hangover free.

The Hydra regulator is suitable for cold water and more extreme diving, as well as warmer water and less intensive dives.
The Hydra is supplied with regulator case and computer case, and it's available with a DIN or A-clamp connection. See below for the regulator's specification.
The Hydra regulator's environmentally sealed first stage is designed for the diver who wants the best characteristics even in extreme conditions. The internal mechanism of the first stage has twin protected from saltwater and moisture; the internal black diaphragm allows high performance with high reliability and completely separates the "heart" of the regulator from the external environment, while the outer silicone diaphragm allows the exact transmission of external pressure to the internal mechanism, without the use of complicated equipment or special fluids.
or depth. The air passes through a piston, the movement of which is controlled by a diaphragm. The piston receives equal pressure from both sides, allowing the output pressure to be independent from the cylinder pressure.
The internal component parts are made from chrome/nickel coated brass, the springs from stainless steel and the seals from nitrile rubbers. Particular attention was paid to the separation diaphragm by making it from a special rubber resistant to low temperatures. The air inlet is protected by a conical sintered filter that blocks impurities and debris that may be present in the valve and in the cylinder.
The first stage is fitted with four low pressure ports (3/8" x 24 UNF thread) and two high pressure ports (7/16" x 20 UNF thread).
The second stage case is made from a synthetic resin, which is highly resistant to impacts and abrasion, and it is not attacked by UV rays and chemical agents. The diaphragm, the exhaust valve and the poppet seat are made from silicone. The other inner components are made from chrome-plated brass and stainless steel. The mouthpiece is hypoallergenic silicone. The second stage is connected to one of the low pressure (LP) ports on the first stage through a flexible LP hose with high flow performance.
The venturi lever (+/- lever) on the second stage adjusts the direction of the nozzle in the second stage that releases air to be breathed by the diver. In the "-" position, the nozzle faces towards the diaphragm at the front of the second stage. This setting is usually favoured in normal diving conditions (pre-dive). In the "+" position, the nozzle faces towards the diver's mouth, making for an easier breathe in more extreme conditions and/or deeper dives. The venturi lever can be adjusted between these two settings.
The octopus has the same technical specifications and materials as the standard second stage. The only differences are in the colour of the shield and hose, which are yellow, especially designed for easy identification in an emergency.
The octopus's hose is 1m long for quick access.
A 2 + 1 console incorporating 450 bar contents gauge with built-in thermometer, 80 metre MDI* depth gauge and a rotating bezel compass mounted on the back.
Hose length 32"/81cm. 63mm face size.

Stephen Thomas Knight MA (Oxon.), PhD (Sydney), F.A.H.A., F.E.A. (born 21 September 1940) was, until September 2011, a distinguished research professor in English literature at Cardiff University; and is a professorial fellow of Literature at the University of Melbourne. His areas of expertise include medieval English and European literature, Robin Hood, Merlin, cultural studies, crime fiction, and Australian matters. He has authored over thirty books, and is well known in the public sphere for his contribution to a range of fields. His most recent books have been The Politics of Myth (2015), Towards Sherlock Holmes: A Thematic History of Crime Fiction in the 19th Century World (2017), Australian Crime Fiction: A 200-year History (2018), The Fiction of G.W.M. Reynolds: The Man Who Outsold Dickens (2019) and The University is Closed for Open Day: Themes and Scenes from 21st Century Australia (2019).

Biography
Knight was educated at Bournemouth Grammar School and at Jesus College, Oxford. He graduated in 1962 and was appointed to the University of Sydney in 1963. In 1968–69 he was lecturer in English at the Australian National University, and he returned to the University of Sydney in 1970, where he was senior lecturer and associate professor. In 1986 he was appointed Robert Wallace Professor of English at the University of Melbourne. and in 1992 returned to Britain to the first chair of English at the new De Montfort University in Leicester. In 1994, he moved to a position at Cardiff University as professor and head of English; he was also head of the School of English, Philosophy and Communication, and from 2006 was appointed distinguished research professor. Knight is a Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities, a Fellow of the English Association, and a Cyfaill y Celtiaid, or "Fellow of the Celts".

Much of Knight's scholarly writings have been in the areas of medieval English literature, Robin Hood, Merlin and the Arthurian myth. His long-standing interest in crime fiction generated the study Form and Ideology in Crime Fiction (1980), and several other books and essay-collections, including Continent of Mystery: A Thematic History of Australian Crime Fiction (1997), for which he was awarded the Ned Kelly Lifetime Achievement Award. He has also written sociocultural commentaries, notably The Selling of the Australian Mind (1990), Freedom Was Compulsory (1994), and a new set of socio-critical Australian essays The University is Closed for Open Day (2019).

Major works

Robin Hood: A Mythic Biography
This book, which won the 2005 International Mythopoeic Society Award for Non-Fiction, traces the origins of the myth, providing insights into why Robin Hood is still such an essential and evolving figure in culture and literature. Knight presents the detailed elements and contexts of the Robin Hood myth, as he explores its changing representations and conceptions.

The Robin Hood myth has a life of its own, Knight says "To study Robin Hood," as Knight explains, "is to study over five hundred years of the development of modern concepts of heroism, art, politics, and the self. It is an exciting and enthralling domain of study, that can in itself become a guide to the changing patterns and dynamics of society and culture over an enormous period."

A Hundred Years of Fiction: Writing Wales in English
After becoming Professor and Head of English at Cardiff University, Wales, Knight introduced the department's first courses in Welsh fiction in English and then produced in 2004 the first book written on this topic, which began a series on the topic from the University of Wales Press. Exploring the fiction and the context of his own South Welsh family, its first section explored the slow growth of English-language Welsh fiction in the nineteenth century, then devoted a full section to the major development of novels and stories about 'The Industrial Settlement', well into the twentieth century. The third section deals with 'Integration and Independence', charting how since the mid-twentieth century writers in English have grown increasingly familiar with, even close to, the Welsh-language culture of the country, and how in the later twentieth century, as Wales became increasing independent, its writers, notably Emyr Humphreys and Chris Meredith, both Welsh speakers, wrote in English fiction inherently for the country as a whole

Merlin: Knowledge and Power Through the Ages
This book traces the myth of Merlin back to its earliest roots in the early Welsh figure of Myrddin and he then follows Merlin as he is re-imagined through centuries of literature and art, beginning with Geoffrey of Monmouth, whose immensely popular Latin History of the Kings of Britain (c. 1136) transmitted the story of Merlin to Europe at large. The book covers French and German as well as Anglophone elements of the myth and brings the story up to the present with discussions of a globalised Merlin who finds his way into popular literature, film, television, and New Age philosophy. In tracing the applied meanings of knowledge in a range of social contexts, Knight reveals the four main stages of the Merlin myth: Wisdom (early Celtic British), Advice (medieval European), Cleverness (early modern English), and Education (worldwide since the nineteenth century).

The book argues that Merlin in all his guises represents a conflict basic to Western societies-the clash between knowledge and power. While the Merlin story varies over time, the underlying structural tension remains the same whether it takes the form of bard versus lord, vizier versus monarch, scientist versus capitalist, or academic versus politician: Merlin embodies the contentious duality inherent to organized societies.

The Mysteries of the Cities: Urban Crime Fiction in the Nineteenth Century
This study describes the lengthy popular fictions that responded to the new, exciting and alarming experience of city life in the mid nineteenth century. Starting with Eugène Sue's Les Mystères de Paris (1842-3) it shows how young authors, working for newspapers and street level publishers, did not use the new power of detectives or the old patterns of aristocratic and moral control, and simply realised the multiple, overlapping, chaotic and often violent stories of modern urban crime. The mode was picked up by George W. M. Reynolds in The Mysteries of London (1844-8), and was also imitated in multiple American versions, of which the most impressive are George Lippard's The Quaker City, or The Monks of Monk Hall (1845), about Philadelphia, and The Mysteries of New York (1848) by E. C. Z. Judson (better known as 'Ned Buntline')..

The Mysteries genre spread around the world – including to Berlin, St Petersburg, Milan, and many American urban centres: the last true realisation was in gold-rich Melbourne in 1873, when Donald Cameron produced The Mysteries of Melbourne Life.

Knight shows how this material expresses and examines the drama of new megalopolitan life, how it influenced authors who sometimes claimed not to admire it such as Victor Hugo, Charles Dickens and Émile Zola, and how this genre is a massively overlooked storehouse of story, melodrama and above all urban emotional history.

The Politics of Myth: Social Meanings from King Arthur to Ned Kelly
This book challenges the idea that myths are just quaint fables from the past that function to entertain and distract people from modern anxieties. It argues major myths represent a set of forces and challenges that remain relevant across time and are reworked and reinterpreted to focus concerns in changing periods and new social contexts. Studying major myths that have remained alive in world culture (all the figures discussed have been in film and television in the 21st century) it shows three major areas of debate through myth, namely Power, Resistance and Knowledge.

The mythical figures in these domains cross social boundaries – kings and queens like Arthur, Guinevere and Elizabeth I are analysed, and so are mythic celebrities of humble origin like Jeanne d'Arc, Ned Kelly and Robin Hood. As those names indicate, reality and myth interweave. The actuality of another figure discussed here, Shakespeare, has been often challenged, and people still write letters to the genuinely mythic Sherlock Holmes. While some insist Robin Hood must have existed, the only good candidate for ancient reality is that most mysterious man of knowledge, Merlin. Myths are indeed mythic.

Towards Sherlock Holmes: A Thematic History of Crime Fiction in the 19th Century World.
This study goes into much more detail on nineteenth-century crime fiction than Knight's earlier work on this material, which was more summary-oriented than theme-focused. The purpose here is to use close research to explore the issues and socio-cultural domains that are dealt with in the crime fiction that led to – and continued through—the dominating myth of Sherlock Holmes. The first two chapters go outside England to explore the traditions of American crime fiction in the century and then, under the title 'Sherlock Holmes' Grandmother' (who was from France), the richly suggestive French contributions to the genre.

These are followed by socially-focused chapters, the first dealing with class in English crime fiction of the nineteenth century, and the next on the role of women detectives in that period. This is followed by a study of crime fiction elements in the work of major novelists, Gaskell, Collins, Dickens, Braddon and Wood.

The next chapter studies in detail the often referenced but never properly analysed first true best-seller of the genre, Fergus Hume's Melbourne-based The Mystery of a Hansom Cab; the last chapter deals in a thematic way with the element of imperialism, and also anti-imperialism, in the fiction of Conan Doyle – not only his Sherlock Holmes stories.

Australian Crime Fiction: A 200-Year History
In 1997 Knight published Continent of Mystery: A Thematic History of Australian Crime Fiction, a study of the genre up to 1995 which focused on separate themes, with chapters on Origins, Women, Police, Place, and Colonial/Post-Colonial. The new book differs by being a formal history of the genre, with much wider reference to authors and their contexts; it also discusses the many authors who have emerged since 1995 in the new flourishing of the genre in Australia.

Section 1 deals with the first century, 1818–1914, and Section 2 with the period 1915–45, after the dominance of English publishers was somewhat disrupted during war time. Section 3, covering 1946–1979, shows the notable development of women authors and the psychothriller, while Section 4 accounts for the important period 1980-99 when, with English publishers largely withdrawing from the field, a vigorous new range of Australian authors developed the private-eye model (both male and female), and the nationally popular and essentially pro-criminal crime novel, as well as the psychothriller, coming largely from women authors.

Section 5, dealing only with 2000 to 2017, nevertheless describes the largest number of authors and novels of any section, and shows how police detectives, for long nationally unpopular, finally become, in both genders, a major element in what is now a widely recognised, socially explorative and strong-selling genre.

G.W.M. Reynolds and His Fiction: The Man Who Outsold Dickens
Having published in The Mysteries of the Cities (2012) a chapter on George Reynolds' The Mysteries of London (1844–48), Knight grew increasingly interested in this hugely popular author of thirty-six novels, several of them multi-volume, and over twenty million words of fiction in all. Reynolds has been almost completely ignored by English literary criticism, in part because of his popular status, but also because of his politics: he was a Chartist and general supporter of the lower social orders, especially seeking their improved education. Much disliked by Dickens, largely for his radicalism, he in return called Dickens an 'aristocratic lickspittle'. Literary criticism has evidently shared hostility to his politics and popular orientation and he has hardly ever been discussed or even mentioned in critical surveys. There have in recent years been some essays written on him, but this book, surveying and analysing all of Reynolds novels and novellas, is the first written on this remarkably overlooked and decidedly important author.

Media
Knight has appeared in the media many times, producing reviews for newspapers, magazines and radio, including for ten years from the mid-1970s a monthly column in The Sydney Morning Herald on crime fiction. He has also written radio reviews and features and has appeared on Melvyn Bragg's BBC Radio 4 programme In Our Time, discussing Robin Hood, Merlin, and the legend of the Fisher King, as well as on the 2006 BBC television production World of Robin Hood, with Jonathan Ross. He has done a range of interviews on The Politics of Myth (2015).

He received media attention across the world in 1999 through his commentary in London's The Sunday Times relating to gender roles in the Robin Hood legend, which some elements of the media took to be evidence that Robin Hood was gay.

The meeting of the Board of Governors of Bank Indonesia (RDG BI) held today on January 9, 2006 stipulated the continuity of a The Tight Bias Monetary Policy to control the inflation for the medium and long term period. Based on the policy, RDG Bank Indonesia has decided to maintain BI rate at the level of 12,75%. Despite of an occurrence of deflation in December 2005, the Board of Governors of Bank Indonesia considered the expectation of inflation in the future, which would still be high, as the considerable factor behind the high inflation rate. Moreover, the Board of Governors still sees several risk factors capable of giving pressure to the stability of exchange value such as the unstable prices of world's oil, the global imbalance, and the tight monetary cycle in global economy that remains to exist.
Bank Indonesia also recognizes a strong current of optimism for the future economic prospect. With the actions already taken by the Government in improving the situation for investment and real sectors, and the consistency of Bank Indonesia monetary policies, it is predicted that the prospect of economy in Indonesia for the year 2006-2008 will be much better.


This pumpkin seed pesto is a riff on the classic. Toasted pumpkin seeds are blended with parsley, Pecorino cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt. It's a great autumnal sauce for pasta, a topper for fish, chicken, or pork.
1. In a dry skillet over high heat, toast the pumpkin seeds, shaking the skillet occasionally, until they stop crackling and popping, 3 to 5 minutes.
2. Transfer the seeds to a food processor and toss in the parsley, oil, cheese, lemon, and salt. Blitz until a coarse paste-like pesto forms.
3. Scrape the pesto into the sterilized jar and add enough oil to form a layer on top to ensure it's airtight. Screw on the lid and refrigerate for up to a week. Every time you use a little (or a lot), always make certain there's a thin layer of oil on top of the pesto before popping it back in the refrigerator.

Calling all pesto lovers! This variation on a classic is unique in its ingredients and bursting with flavor.
Swapped for the traditional toasted pine nuts are pumpkin seeds, and, for the sweet fresh basil, Italian flat leaf parsley. Those two items plus quality olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and (my favorite) grated Pecorino cheese make for a no-cook sauce that pairs well with a multitude of dishes. Its simplicity is just a delight. Minimal ingredients, minimal effort, but the results very flavorful and memorable.
I like the texture of the pesto, too. To me, it was a bit thicker than a basil pesto which makes it heartier. The only thing that might need to be pointed out is the majority of pumpkin seeds I see in the store are roasted and salted, which are delish, but for this purpose with all of the added cheese and the added salt, it could get really salty really quickly. Just a thought.
My first go-round with the pesto sauce I decided to toss it onto roasted cauliflower florets, and I plan to give it second go-round tonight tossed with some al dente orzo pasta stuffed into baked sweet bell peppers. I can also see this delightful pesto sauce working well with a pork tenderloin, grilled chicken perhaps, or even as a sauce for the season's best roasted squash. The possibilities are endless!
It's sometimes a difficult mind-bend to separate the word pesto from it's most common basil-parmesan-garlic rendition. This pumpkin seed pesto, however, makes a strong case for the greater good of the category of herb and nut pastes and for the wide flexibility of ingredients. The pumpkin seeds do indeed give this an autumnal flair that's a welcome change of pace as we head into cooler fall days. The flavor of the pesto is earthy and excellent and don't even get me started on the aroma in my kitchen as the mixture was whizzing in the food processor!
The recipe made about two cups, leaving me enough to stash a small jar in the fridge for use on sandwiches, on pasta, or alongside grilled fish or chicken, plus plenty more to freeze for the future.
Setting foot into the produce section is a guarantee that I'll leave with a fistful of parsley. Though I claim sweet, fragrant basil as my favorite, its tenderness is fleeting. Parsley's tender yet sturdy, confidently versatile qualities never seem out of place. Honestly, I have no idea how parsley pesto has escaped me, but I'm hooked. I'm a sucker for pasta after a long day at work and love how quickly premade pesto makes a meal feel special.
This pumpkin seed pesto kept well—and stayed green, perhaps from the lemon juice—for more than a week and livened up noodles, sauces, and even was used on a grilled cheese sandwich. I think it'd be especially good paired with mushrooms and roasted squash wedges. If you're a bit short on the cheese, the toasty pumpkin seeds seem to make up for the umami—I was short about half the amount of cheese and found the pesto plenty tasty, if a bit short of salt. I also balanced to taste with extra lemon juice.
This pumpkin seed pesto was so different from the traditional basil pesto, but versatile and delicious.
I found many uses for the toasty pesto. I used it to top roasted beets, baked sweet potatoes, roasted Brussel sprouts, and drizzled it over ripe heirloom tomatoes. I'll definitely keep this in the refrigerator in the future!
The perfect recipe for my bumper crop of parsley. I was able to whip this up in 25 minutes, and found it to be a more mild and earthy pesto. We didn't mind a departure from the traditional basil punch. Served it on butternut squash ravioli and the flavors complemented each other nicely. This is a keeper!
This is a flavorful and interesting take on pesto. I found it to be quite rich compared to the version I am accustomed to, so I found a little goes a long way when using it. For example, I can't really imagine this as a sauce on pizza or pasta as it might be overwhelming. I used it in a polenta dish that called for a parsley pesto, and it went very nicely drizzled over the polenta that was also topped with roasted broccoli, mushrooms, and sausage. I can imagine it would also be fantastic with a thin layer on flatbread or paired with other ingredients in a pasta dish.
In my garden parsley grows most vigorously from late summer to early fall, so I happily made this autumnal pesto using the fresh harvest. The pesto was enjoyed on toasted ciabatta with tomato slices on top, on crackers, and folded into an omelet. Although this pesto was delicious overall, one whole cup of very salty Pecorino Romano may have been too much, as pumpkin seeds and parsley struggled to come through. Next time I would try 2/3 cup of Parmigiano, which is nuttier and less sharp.
I was not sure exactly what to expect from this pesto, I am a huge fan of basil and sun-dried tomato pesto and to be honest, I didn't think I would love anything as much. I was blown away by the nutty, rich flavor of this pesto, and frankly have not been able to stop eating it since—on practically everything! I love the intense nutty flavor from the pumpkin seeds which complements the strong flavor of the pecorino beautifully. The lemon juice cuts through the richness of the pesto and adds a much needed hint of acidity. These create a rich pesto, a great warm autumn pesto (I definitely agree with the description of this recipe) that can be enjoyed with anything from sandwiches, pizza and warm meat (or vegetable) dishes. It is very versatile and a little goes a long way, adding a depth of flavor to anything you decide to eat it with. I would recommend trying this recipe and personally I will be making this more regularly at home.
Pesto is a great way to add flavors to anything: pasta, soup, bread, omelets, and fish. It can be prepared with a lot of greens, or seeds like in this recipe that uses pumpkin seeds. This is a simple, fragrant, and nutritious pesto recipe ideal for autumn dishes.
I am always looking for nontraditional pesto recipes so I was excited to try this recipe. The pesto had some nice earthy flavors, but I felt it needed a bit more acid and less salt. Perhaps my pecorino was too salty, but if I made this recipe again, I would add the juice of a whole lemon and 1/2 cup of cheese. I used this pesto on pizza and topped it with tomatoes and goat cheese and it was delicious!

Home Cineworld Blog The most insanely full-throttle movie cars that left the competition in the dust #Fast8
The most insanely full-throttle movie cars that left the competition in the dust #Fast8
Posted on Wednesday, 7 December 2016 Share this article
It seems that movie cars are getting faster and faster, especially when Fast and Furious is concerned. With the eighth movie just around the corner, we rate the fastest movie cars.
The movie: Transformers (and its sequels)
Speed: Fast (but faster when in its natural robotic form)
This slightly bends the rules because Bumblebee is not only a car, but an Autobot. Therefore he has a personality and more qualities than just speed and an accelerator. Bumblebee and co. are trying to save earth from ominous, alien-like robots, while the Fast cars are what drive (literally!) Dominic Toretto, Luke Hobbs and the rest of the team. Having a Transformer would be an unfair advantage for Dom Toretto's gang, wouldn't it?
The movie: The Love Bug (and its sequels)
Speed: He gets faster as the movies go on
Last seen in 2005 alongside Lindsay Lohan, Herbie has been passed down through the generations. Like Bumblebee, Herbie has a personality and certainly causes a lot of mischief. Therefore his sole purpose is not speed-specific like the cars in the Fast series, yet Herbie can still win the race in the end so he's faster than his rivals. Would Herbie be helpful for the Fast 8 crew though? Given his cheeky attitude, we think not.
The movie: Cars (and its sequels)
Speed: Fast enough to win the race!
This car can talk, but not among humans. Indeed, there are no humans in the universe of Cars – just cars! Lightning McQueen is an actual racer car so of course he's lightning-fast. McQueen would actually be very handy for the team in Fast 8, as he doesn't need a human being to function, which brings a whole new definition to the automatic car.
The Batmobile
The movie(s): All the Batmans!
Speed: Fast enough for Batman to get away from the Joker, but not fast enough to get away from Superman.
The Batmobile is the ultimate superhero vehicle. With its sleek design, the Batmobile can travel super-fast and get the Dark Knight out of situations as quickly as he can take out a room full of thugs. After defeating a bad guy, Batman is able to get back to the Batcave quickly to avoid Gotham police seeing him or tracking him down. This was until Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice, when Superman was able to stop the Batmobile. The Batmobile would completely reinvent the Fast movie series, as surely it would out beat everyone. But sadly, Batman doesn't likes to share his toys.
The DeLorean
The movie(s): The Back to the Future trilogy
Speed: Fast enough to time travel
There's no doubt that the DeLorean can travel at extreme speed, because it can time travel! Aside from its time-travelling abilities the the car doesn't do a lot of actual driving during the films, but when you can flash through time and space, what's the need? If the Fast 8 team were ever to go full sci-fi (hey, it could happen!), the DeLorean wouldn't be ideal.
Cameron's dad's Ferrari
The movie: Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Speed: Slow when Cameron is watching, but fast when the two parking attendants take it for a spin.
This iconic movie car is shown going very, very fast indeed, even though the original drivers of the car don't see it in action! The beautiful red Ferrari is a precious item to Cameron Frye's Dad, so when Cameron's BFF Ferris Bueller asks to take it for a drive, the former tries very hard to get his mate to leave it. We all know the car's fate as it flies through the windows of Cameron's home, but thankfully he's had such a good day that he's not scared about his father's reaction. This sleek supercar would almost certainly suit the Fast 8 gang in terms of style and speed.
These movie cars may be iconic, but ultimately we know that no one does fast cars like the Fast and Furious team. There are bound to be faster, sleeker and crazier races and adventures in Fast 8, out next year!
Which famous movie car do you think the Fast 8 crew would like to work with? Tweet your choices @Cineworld.

Moshe Dayan: Israel's Controversial Hero
Author: Mordechai Bar-On
Instantly recognizable with his iconic eye patch, Moshe Dayan (1915–1981) was one of Israel's most charismatic—and controversial—personalities. As a youth he earned the reputation of a fearless warrior, and in later years as a leading military tactician, admired by peers and enemies alike. As chief of staff during the 1956 Sinai Campaign and as minister of defense during the 1967 Six Day War, Dayan led the Israel Defense Forces to stunning military victories. But in the aftermath of the bungled 1973 Yom Kippur War, he shared the blame for operational mistakes and retired from the government. He later proved himself a principled and talented diplomat, playing an integral role in peace negotiations with Egypt.
In this memorable biography, Mordechai Bar-On, Dayan's IDF bureau chief, offers an intimate view of Dayan's private life, public career, and political controversies, set against an original analysis of Israel's political environment from pre-Mandate Palestine through the early 1980s. Drawing on a wealth of Israeli archives, accounts by Dayan and members of his circle, and firsthand experiences, Bar-On reveals Dayan as a man unwavering in his devotion to Zionism and the Land of Israel. Moshe Dayan makes a unique contribution to the history of Israel and the complexities of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
Mordechai Bar-On is senior research fellow, Yad Izhak Ben-Zvi Institute, Jerusalem. He served in the Israel Defense Forces as General Moshe Dayan's bureau chief during the Sinai Campaign, and in 1984 was elected to the Knesset, Israel's parliament. He lives in Jerusalem.

    for(int i=0; i<2; i++)
    {
      printf("[%d]", "[%d]", r->studentList[i].rollno, r->studentList[i].credits);
    }
    return 0;
}

A: Because there is not any memory allocated to r. Use malloc to allocate memory:
#include <stdlib.h>
...
recordList *r = malloc(sizeof(recordList));

For me, the villa Napoleon has a very special atmosphere, it emanates from it a very friendly and warm atmosphere. Here one can let go and disconnect from the world, one can set back, with family and with his best friends.
7 roomsLiveable floor area : 2,700 Sq.ft.

Q: IF AND conditional formatting not working - Excel 2013 Okay so I'm trying to format cells that are blank and meet the logical test. Here's the formula:
=IF(AND($B2="Y", ISBLANK($C$2:$F$172)), TRUE, FALSE)

If both tests are true (B column = Y and there are blanks in the range), I want those cells to be formatted yellow.
So far, I've been using the "Edit formatting rule" under the "Manage Rules" window. It accepts the formula, but it either formats all blanks yellow, regardless of the B column, or doesn't format any blanks at all.

A: You only need the condition to reference cells for one row, I.e
If "applies to" range is C2:F172 Then make the formula apply to the first cell, like this

=AND($B2="y",ISBLANK(C2))

The formula implicitly adjusts for each cell in the range
That will format all blank cells in rows where B column is "y".....or do you want all cells in a row formatted if any are blank in that row?

Tim Mondavi and Cabernet Franc
We've been pretty sure for a while now that Cabernet Franc was a good bet for our small vineyard. It's a wonderful grape for blending, often used to soften the harsh tannins in its close cousin, Cabernet Sauvignon, and it is lovely on its own as a varietal. And we've tasted it at enough wineries in enough different parts of the state to believe that it's well suited to the growing conditions found in Virginia.
It is (usually) the dominant grape in Cheval Blanc, one of the great wines of Bordeaux. It is not a first growth, since Saint-Emilion was not included in the 1855 classification, but in the 1955 Saint-Emilion classification, it was one of two ones to be ranked as a "Premiers Grands Crus Classés A." And, of course, the 1961 Cheval Blanc was the wine that Miles had hidden away for a special occasion in Sideways. (He drank it from a paper cup at the end while at a McDonalds, since his love interest had told him that — and I'm paraphrasing from memory — any time you drink a Cheval Blanc, it's a special occasion.)
For those of you willing to spend upwards of $1,000 a bottle (and more) on a Cheval Blanc, I have no doubt you will feel the money well spent. But if you do, then don't hesitate to invite me to share it with you. I've never tasted Cheval Blanc, but I've certainly lusted over the thought.
However, if you are among the 99 – make that the 99.9 – who can't afford Cheval Blanc, you should think about a Virginia wine that is either entirely Cab Franc or included as the dominant grape in a blend. Almost every winery in Virginia seems to have a Cab Franc in its tasting room, and many of them are splendid.
But while we're sold on Cab Franc, it's always nice to hear that others feel the same way. In the Nov. 15 issue of The Wine Spectator, a lengthy article on Tim Mondavi includes a sidebar (The Francophile in Continuum,) that highlights this great winemaker's love for Cab Franc.
"The wines that had the highest percentage of Cabernet Franc were the wines I loved the most," says Tim. "When I would be looking at the wines in barrel, I found there was a higher perfume [in Franc] that was very different from Cabernet Sauvignon. It also adds viscosity and suppleness you can't find with Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot."
Franc does need to be ripe, the Wine Spectator adds. "Otherwise it can be herbal, stalky and coarse."
That's precisely the problem that some identify in Virgina reds – vegetal flavors, usually produced by a compound known as methoxypyrazine that comes from grapes that are not quite ripe. The risk is especially pronounced in areas with short growing seasons or in years when rain or other conditions force an early harvest. Done right, Cab Franc can be wonderful, in Virginia wines as well as in Mondavi's Continuum.
In another four years, after the vines have matured, the grapes have been picked and fermented, and the wine has been in the bottle for a suitable period of time, I'll be able to tell you how well it worked out.

Hi! Sign in to let us know how The Essential Baking Company was?
Ashley B. Jun 23 .
This is a perfect place to stop by and grab a delicious sandwich. They can get pretty busy, so I would avoid the 12 to 1 hour. That being said, I still don't mind waiting in line for a fresh, Delicious turkey sandwhich on sourdough. Oh, and don't forget to add on a cookie!
One of my favorite walks in Seattle is along the Burke Gilman trail from the U-district to Fremont. along the way, you can stop at Essential Bakery in Wallingford. I am a coffee addict, and they have good espresso drinks that go great with their yummy treats. Their bread is so good that many local stores supply it if you can't get to the store. My absolute favorite is the rosemary bread.
Resi D. May 08 .
Essential baking is an amazing bakery on in Wallingford (Seattle). They have a huge selection of Artisan breads, desserts, cookies and other treats. The people there are so friendly and easygoing and can always provide a suggestion if the selection is just too much to handle. I'm a huge fan of their Fremont Sourdough, which is as good as it gets outside of San Francisco. If you need to pick up a loaf to go with dinner, or to have for lunch sandwiches, essential is where its at. I'm always amazed at the variety of stuff they have, which always includes some really gourmet desserts.
Great breads and baked goods.
Essential Baking Company is, hands down, my favorite bakery in Seattle. On top of making fabulous breads, pastries, muffins, cookies, pies and cakes they also cook up some mouth-watering soups and sandwiches at their Wallingford bakery.
If you've been to or used The Essential Baking Company, leave a review.

1.2 Evolution of the Environmental movement
Dilution is the solution to pollution
Waste treatment and abatement through command and control.
The role of Chemistry
1.3 Green Chemistry
What is Green Chemistry
Why is this new area of Chemistry getting to much attention

The roots of innovation
Limitations / obstacles
Environmental chemistry is the study of the chemical and biochemical phenomena that occur in nature. It involves the understanding of how the uncontaminated environment works, and which naturally occurring chemicals are present, in what concentrations and with what effects. Without this it would be impossible to study accurately the effects that humans exert on the environment through the release of chemical species.
At present, many environmental issues exist that have grown in size and complexity day by day, threatening the survival of mankind on earth. The various incidences of such environmental issues include London smog of 1952—killing about 4000 people, the Mediterranean sea turning into Dead Sea in the 1950s—unable to support aquatic life, death of a number of Japanese people because of eating fish from the Minamata Bay in the 1960s, historical monuments and statues in Greece and Italy getting damaged by the effect of rainwater, white marble of Taj Mahal in India 16 Introduction to Environmental Sciences becoming yellow by the action of sulphur dioxide fumes, leakage of methyl isocyanate (MIC) vapours at Bhopal in India in 1984, and the hazardous effects of nuclear weapons and radiations on the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Pollution of river water in India, use of plutonium or other isotopic fuel-based breeder/nuclear reactors for energy production, use of dangerous artificial food additives, and ozone hole in the Antarctic and Arctic regions are some typical chemical issues that need to be resolved critically.
1.2. Evolution of the Environmental movement
After the scientific and industrial revolution in the recent past, there has been immense impact of man on his environment and balance of the ecosystem as a whole/the environment.
Industrialization , urbanization, deforestation , use of insecticides, pesticides, improper use of fertilizers and chemicals in environment are some contributing factors which challenged the life of man, animals specially birds and other organisms.
Human activities are causing many kinds of environmental pollutions for which public awareness is necessary.
The Active co-operation of every one, at every level of social organizations is needed for issues concerning environment.
Over exploitation of natural resources is a basic concern for everybody. Therefore, we should accept the family planning schemes this will not only reduce the population but also solve the problems of food and rehabilitation.
There must be planning about the effects and control measures of environmental pollution. Govt. should initiate and help by awareness campaigns to save environment.
There should be the integral part of our educational programs. Like, we should discourage to use fuel vehicles, until it is not necessary, over use of water, for cleaning and other purposes should be decreased. Rain water harvesting is another example for using the rain water instead flowing out.
Any government at its own level cannot achieve the goals of sustainable development until the public has a participatory role in it.
It is only possible only when public aware about the ecological and environmental issues. For example ban the littering of polythene cannot be successful until the public understands the environmental implications of the same.
Public should understand about the fact that if we degrading our environment, we are harming ourselves.
This is the duty of educated people to educate the others about the adverse effect on environment.
alone cannot do anything until unless every citizen is aware of the environmental pollution & their effects.
Everyone need to make aware and motivate each and every individual for environmental consciousness.
Dilution was the solution to pollution when populations were small. Everything people wanted to get rid of went into the water. These wastes were typically organic, such as human wastes and animal carcasses. They became food for animals, macroinvertebrates, bacteria, and fungi that broke down the waste. As small villages grew into towns and towns into cities, waterways were overwhelmed by the amount of disposed wastes, and many rivers became open sewers.
A larger problem developed during the Industrial Revolution. Chemicals used in industry were added to the mix in the rivers. Many of these substances could not be broken down naturally or biodegraded even in wastewater treatment plants. But because lower concentrations of cancer-causing pollutants, for instance, proved less harmful or had no effect in animal studies, the dilution of pollutants in large amounts of water was thought to be an effective method of disposal. Scientists, however, have recently discovered that many pollutants (pesticides, industrial chemicals, and pharmaceuticals) mimic hormones and can interfere with the reproduction of birds and fish at parts per million (ppm) to parts per billion (ppb). Dilution cannot render these pollutants harmless.
Nor does dilution work for chemicals that bioaccumulate. These persist through the food chain and increase in each organism. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has banned twenty-two bioaccumulating chemicals (BCCs) in its Great Lakes Initiative (1995), including dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane (DDT), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), mercury, and dioxins. The Great Lakes Basin 2020 Action Plan of Environment Canada's Great Lakes Programs is working on the same problems. The International Joint Commission has designated forty-two areas of concern (AOCs) or pollution hot spots in the Great Lakes region. EPA regulations require industries using these chemicals to treat them at the source rather than releasing them into waters.
The Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) test is used to test the toxicity of effluent flowing into uncontaminated waters. The WET test is species-specific. The EPA has developed "Self-Implementing Alternate Dilution Water Guidance." This is included in any National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit issued by the EPA and would be used if a WET test shows the toxicity of water at the site for the species specified by the NPDES permit.
Sustainable development is now accepted by governments, industry and the public as a necessary goal for achieving the desired combination of environmental, economic and societal objectives. This requires a new approach whereby the materials and energy input to a process are minimized and thus utilized at maximum efficiency. The dispersion of harmful chemicals in the environment must be minimized.
We must maximize the use of renewable resources and extend the durability and recyclability of products, and all of this must be achieved in a way that provides economic benefit to the producer and enables industry to meet the needs of society.
We can start by considering the options for waste management within a chemical process. From an environmental point of view it is more important to know how many atoms of the starting material are converted to useful products and how may to waste.
For prevention of pollution we must be apply 12 principle of green chemistry:
Pollution prevention option can be considered at every stage in the life cycle of a chemical product. In general we should be increasingly at the industrial ecology goals for green chemistry like:
Adopt a life-cycle perspective regarding chemical products and processes.
Realize that the activities of your suppliers and customers determine, in part, the greenness of your product.
For non-dissipative products, consider recyclability
For dissipative products (e.g. pharmaceuticals, crop-protection chemicals), consider the environmental impact of product delivery
Perform green process design as well as green product design
Chemistry is having a difficult time. While society continues to demand larger quantities of increasingly sophisticated chemical products, it also regards the industries that manufacture these products with increasing degrees of suspicion and fear.
The range of chemical products in today's society is enormous and these products make an invaluable contribution to the quality of our lives. In medicine, the design and manufacture of pharmaceutical products has enabled us to cure diseases that have ravaged humankind throughout history. Crop protection and growth enhancement chemicals have enabled us to increase our food yields dramatically.
Chemistry has played, and continues to play, a fundamental role in almost every aspect of modern society, and, as the enormous populations in China, India and the emerging nations demand western levels of healthcare, food, shelter, transport and consumer goods, so the demands on the chemicals industries will grow. The successful development of the chemicals industries has almost had an inverse relationship with public perception. Since writing, over five years
The growth in the chemicals industries in the twentieth century was at the cost of producing millions of tons of waste, and if we extend the discussion to include health and safety issues then we must add the chemical disasters that have led to much unfavorable publicity and have hardened the views of many critics. The increasing levels of environmental awareness among the general public make it even more important that the chemicals industries 'clean up their act'. Public acceptability of environmental pressure groups adds to their influence and together they effectively force governments to use legislation to force industry into making improvements.
How much do we need to change? Although early work to 'green' the manufacture of chemicals was focused largely on reducing the environmental impact of chemical processes, a much wider view will be necessary in the new century. An exaggerated but illustrative view of twentieth century chemical manufacturing can be written as a recipe.
Start with a petroleum-based feedstock.
Dissolve it in a solvent.
Add a reagent.
React to form an intermediate chemical.
Repeat (2)–(4) several times until the final product is obtained; discard all waste and spent reagent; recycle solvent where economically viable.
Transport the product worldwide, often for long term storage.
Release the product into the ecosystem without proper evaluation of its long-term effects.
The recipe for the twenty-first century will be very different:
Design the molecule to have minimal impact on the environment (short residence time, biodegradable).
Manufacture from a renewable feedstock (e.g. carbohydrate).
Use a long-life catalyst.
Use no solvent or a totally recyclable benign solvent.
Use the smallest possible number of steps in the synthesis.
Manufacture the product as required and as close as possible to where it is required.
The broader picture will apply not only to chemical manufacturing but also to transportation, legislation and, most critically, education. We must train the new generation of chemists to think of the environmental, social and economic factors in chemicals manufacturing.
The term green chemistry was coined by Paul Anastas im 1991. However, it has been suggested that the concept was originated by Trevor Kletz in his 1978 paper where he proposed that chemist should seek alternative processes to those involving dangerous substances and conditions.
Green chemistry, also called sustainable chemistry, is an area of chemistry and chemical engineering focused on the designing of products and processes that minimize the use and generation of hazardous substances. Whereas environmental chemistry focuses on the effects of polluting chemicals on nature, green chemistry focuses on the environmental impact of chemistry, including technological approaches to preventing pollution and reducing consumption of nonrenewable resources.
As chemical philosophy, green chemistry applies to organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, biochemistry, analytical chemistry, bioengineering and even physical chemistry. While green chemistry seems to focus on industrial applications, it does apply to any chemistry choice. Click chemistry is often cited as a style of chemical synthesis that is consistent with the goals of green chemistry. The focus is on minimizing the hazard and maximizing the efficiency of any chemical choice. It is distinct from environmental chemistry which focus on chemical phenomena in the environment.
The term green chemistry is defined as: the invention, design and application of chemical products and processes to reduce or to eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances.
Green chemistry is the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the use or generation of hazardous substances. Green chemistry applies across the life cycle of a chemical product, including its design, manufacture, use, and ultimate disposal. Green chemistry is also known as sustainable chemistry.
Green chemistry aims to design and produce cost-competitive chemical products and processes that attain the highest level of the pollution-prevention hierarchy by reducing pollution at its source
Prevents pollution at the molecular level
Is a philosophy that applies to all areas of chemistry, not a single discipline of chemistry
Applies innovative scientific solutions to real-world environmental problems
Results in source reduction because it prevents the generation of pollution
Reduces the negative impacts of chemical products and processes on human health and the environment
Lessens and sometimes eliminates hazard from existing products and processes
Designs chemical products and processes to reduce their intrinsic hazards
Green chemistry is spreading from academic labs into industry as a way to reduce costs, as well as environmental, health and safety risks. Applications of the 12 guiding principles are found on scales small and large, from choosing ingredients for reactions that minimize waste and risk to metrics that quantify waste and process efficiency. And principles of engineering and process design lead green chemists to track energy use during production, search for sustainable raw materials, and build biodegradable or recyclable products to prevent waste.
Further adoption of green chemistry could improve the public's perception of the field of chemistry as a whole. Proponents of green chemistry say the field combines environmental, health, and safety benefits with the traditional goals of economic gains in industrial chemistry and knowledge gains through academic research. Economics and knowledge, while important reasons to pursue chemistry, can conflict with the public's perception of chemistry as a toxic undertaking, particularly when safety, sustainability, and protection of the environment are on their minds. Promoting green chemistry research, and its adoption into industry, through federal policies and education might help the field of Chemistry Bridge the divide between its values and those of the public. Thus, the growth of green chemistry can lead to gains in other areas: profits, public perceptions, and protecting our planet.
Given below are some of the key limitations to implementation & industrialization of green chemistry:
Availability of green technologies
Scale-up and commercialization
Connecting green chemistry solution providers to industry
Understanding of basics of green principles
Green chemistry is costly, complex and not viable for SMEs?
Regulatory hurdles
The green chemistry tool box (set of platform technologies, based on the principles of green chemistry & engineering, alternative to conventional synthetic chemistry based processes/chemistries) is still quite empty. We still do not have viable green chemistry based solution for many chemistries/processes like nitration, sulphonation, Friedel-Craft, etc.
This is one limit, which academic & research institutes can make significant contribution in overcoming. Creating some fundamental invention/innovation in these areas is a very relevant problem which academic & research institutes can work on.
There are many inventions/innovations that have already been developed by various academic and research institutes and these are potential solutions for some of the environmental challenges faced by the industry. However, for whatever reasons, these solutions have not been pursued after lab scale development. Scale-up and commercialization is a barrier because it calls for both academic/research institutes as well as industries to stretch themselves beyond their boundaries.
There are many green chemistry solutions that are ready (with some start-up company, scientist/researcher, academic/research institutes, etc) and are proven. These are the most 'low hanging fruits'. One of the key barriers is the communication gap between the industry and such solution providers. This could be because the industry is in one part of the world and the solution provider is in other part of the world. This could also be due to insufficient marketing of the potential solution by the solution provider. This could also be due to industry not putting enough efforts to search and look around for solutions.
One of the barriers in implementation of green chemistry is that chemists & chemical engineers working on designing new products and processes have limited knowledge about the basic principles of green chemistry & engineering.
Certain myths about green chemistry prevailing around us are also a barrier in implementation of green chemistry in the industry. Myths like green chemistry is good theory but practically not feasible, green chemistry is difficult & complex, it is not viable for small & medium size organizations, it requires huge resources, etc.
This is a big barrier for the pharmaceutical and other industries where any change in process (when a green chemistry based process is replacing a conventional process) has to go through validation trials, change in documentations and filings as well as series of approvals from internal regulatory affairs team, customers and, finally, from external regulatory agencies. Besides the time invested for tedious process of making these changes in Drug Master File (DMF) filings, this also involves significant cost/financial resources.
