Yield10 Bioscience Chief Science Officer Dr. Kristi Snell to Present on Advancements in Producing PHA Bioplastic in Camelina at the ISBP 2022 Conference
WOBURN, Mass. – September 15, 2022 – Yield10 Bioscience, Inc. (Nasdaq:YTEN) ("Yield10" or the "Company"), an agricultural bioscience company, today announced that its Chief Science Officer Dr. Kristi Snell will present during the International Symposium on Biopolymers ("ISBP") 2022 Conference. The event is taking place September 12 through September 16, 2022 in Sion, Switzerland.
Dr. Snell will make a presentation on Friday, September 16, during the session entitled "Industrial Feedstocks and Polymer Production" scheduled for 9:20 am to 11:00 am local time (3:20 am to 5:00 am ET). Her presentation entitled "Breakthroughs in Plant Based Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) Production" will describe the successful engineering of a bacterial pathway for producing PHB in the cytosol of Camelina seed.
Yield10 researchers are conducting a program intended to produce sustainable, low-cost PHA bioplastic materials in the seed of the Camelina plant. In a patent application filed in 2019, Yield10 described a new technology solution for deploying the PHB pathway in Camelina. Using this approach, Yield10 obtained Camelina plants showing up to 10.2 percent PHB in seed that had good emergence and survival in growth chambers. Subsequent field tests with prototype Camelina PHB containing lines have shown approximately six percent PHB in the seed in two consecutive years. In 2022, Yield10 planted PHB producing Camelina at acre-scale and has harvested the plants for PHB extraction, product prototyping, sampling and other business development activities. The development of elite PHA Camelina lines with yields in the 10 to 20 percent range is ongoing, as well as the engineering of PHA copolymers in Camelina.
"We have successfully demonstrated proof of concept for producing PHA bioplastics in Camelina seed by leveraging advanced tools in synthetic biology," said Kristi Snell, Ph.D., Chief Science Officer of Yield10 Bioscience. "This spring we grew prototype PHA Camelina at acre-scale. We have now harvested the crop and plan to extract the PHA from seed for business development purposes. We have also engineered PHA production in winter Camelina lines which we plan to test for the first time in our 2022/2023 winter field trial program. As we move this program forward, we are pursuing multiple strategies to achieve our goal of reaching PHA yields of 10 to 20 percent in Camelina seed in field grown plants."
Learn more about the ISBP 2022 on the conference website. A copy of Dr. Snell's slide deck is available on the Yield10 Bioscience investor relations website.
Background on PHA Bioplastics
Global plastic waste is estimated at 380 million metric tons per year. The largest market for plastics today is for packaging materials, and it accounts for nearly half of all plastic waste generated globally, where most of it is never recycled or incinerated. We believe there may be significant market opportunity for producing PHA biomaterials in Camelina in the future. PHA biomaterials (PHAs) are natural microbial high molecular weight polymeric storage polymers. These polymers are natural polyesters and can be recovered from the microbes that produce them and processed using standard plastics processing equipment into a range of product forms. The production of PHA bioplastics in Camelina could represent an entirely new market opportunity for farmers. This opportunity could provide economic returns for farmers to justify large acreage adoption of Camelina as a cover crop and enable the low-cost production of this product for new markets including water treatment and sustainable biodegradable plastics replacement applications.
About Camelina sativa
Camelina sativa, commonly known as Camelina or false flax, is an annual oilseed plant in the mustard family that is native to Europe. Camelina has the potential to replicate the development of modern canola from rapeseed on an accelerated timeline based on modern technologies, including genomics and genome editing. Additionally, Camelina grows on marginal lands, displays early maturation, has enhanced drought and cold tolerance, and requires fewer inputs than other oilseed crops. With social conscience and sustainability in mind, Yield10 is leveraging its innovations in Camelina to use it as a platform crop for producing low-carbon feedstock oil for renewable fuel; omega-3 nutritional oils; high-protein meal; and PHA bioplastic.
Yield10 Bioscience, Inc. is an agricultural bioscience company that is using its differentiated trait gene discovery platform, the "Trait Factory", to develop improved Camelina varieties for the production of proprietary seed products, and to discover high value genetic traits for the agriculture and food industries. Our goals are to efficiently establish a high value seed products business based on developing superior varieties of Camelina for the production of feedstock oils for renewable diesel, PHA bioplastics and omega-3 (DHA+EPA) oils, and to license our yield traits to major seed companies for commercialization in major row crops, including corn, soybean and canola. Yield10 is headquartered in Woburn, MA and has an Oilseeds Center of Excellence in Saskatoon, Canada.

The Great American Irish Festival beckoned again this year, so I figured I'd spend a day as a volunteer stagehand, or "roadie," for some very high-energy Celtic Rock bands.
The Young Dubliners perform during Great American Irish Festival 2013.
This primarily means cups of beer the performers have at their feet — or on top of expensive amplifiers. It would be an expensive headache indeed if a cup of beer or bottle of water were dumped into the circuitry. And with a new band coming on stage every 90 minutes, it's best to remember not to trip over the maze of wires on stage while retrieving liquids.
Another lesson, learned the hard way: bring earplugs. Even if the music is terrific — which it was, by the way, at the 10th annual G.A.I.F. in Central New York — it can get incredibly loud next to the stage.
Bottled water and bags of ice are priceless when the temperature on stage is even higher than the 80 degrees outside the tent. Many of the performers had soaked through their clothes after a set (see "All liquids off the stage" above). Putting towels with their reach is clutch, as well.
"The Elders" band members meet with some of their fans before a performance.
Loyal fans — I think "groupies" is too pejorative a term — are dedicated to the point of baking homemade goodies for their favorite performers. They also know how to jockey for position for photo ops at "meet and greet" sessions before the show.
This revelation came too late in life, but I should have gone into the tattoo business. They're everywhere, on just about every body part — band members and audience members alike.
The most important thing I learned as a roadie, however, is this: the passion that these musicians have for their art is undeniable. I can appreciate the thousands of hours they practice on their own and rehearse as a group, with the inevitable false starts and failures along the way.
The groups I saw at the Great American Irish Fest were ridiculously good, popular in the Celtic Rock realm yet still unknown to many outside of that (a shame). But there are enough intrinsic and extrinsic rewards to keep these artists going, and their fans are most grateful for that.
Seven Nations performing at Great American Irish Festival 2013.
And you know what? They're good people to work with. During the set by Seven Nations, there was a brief power outage. No one on stage threw a fit or showed any inkling of being annoyed.
What did the band do? They improvised with a brief acoustic set with two of their members, and it was outstanding. The audience was happy, power was restored, and the show went on.
These talented artists are just so happy to perform their art in front of an appreciative audience, the conditions don't matter too much. They live a life ruled by passion, and while it's a hard life — and some of these folks appear to live it to the hilt — I admire the hell out of them for doing it this way.
A fan of the band Enter the Haggis (ETH) showed her appreciation with a donation of baked goods.
Another observation: it takes an incredible amount of work, organization and volunteers to put on a festival the right way, and the Great American Irish Festival certainly does that.

Ah, the rules of the roadie. Be there when the musicians need you. Be out of the way when they don't. Don't let the fans out front see you sweat. Don't sing along too loudly near a live mike. Glad to hear you had fun, sir. And as loud as the music was, I never felt comfortable wearing those earplugs.


DarkHorse Cane Corso, Paula & Andrew Zaro, along with the littles Conner and Olivia and our canine pack. We are originally from Chicago and Boston, but being in the military for the last 12 years has taken us all over the world. DarkHorse Cane Corso is the call sign used for Andrew's unit in Iraq during one of his deployments in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
As our time in the military comes to an end a new beginning arises. Due to all our travels over the last 8 years, it was very difficult to establish a kennel, name or an ongoing obedience training business. Our current kennel is small, and our dogs are first and foremost our pets, though we strive to compete in different levels of obedience, performance and working dog events, at the end of the day, they are our FAMILY.
We do not have an outdoor kennel system, nor do we ever plan to. All our dogs past and present live inside with us. More about Paula's training background can be viewed on her own page. We will be updating the website over the next several months so please check back often!
We are located 45 minutes south of Boston in Plymouth County off of Route 3. We welcome approved applicants by appointment only, as you are coming into our home to meet the dogs. We do not allow visitors when we have puppies on the ground until they are 9 plus weeks old, as to eliminate the possibility/risk of illness, exposure to diseases and/or injury.


Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari called for parliament to approve reforms that will see him give up his main powers, while issuing a veiled warning to the judiciary not to overstep its authority. Parliament is set to pass the constitutional amendments, long demanded by the opposition, this week. They will effectively turn Zardari into a titular head.

It's up to you guys to figure out positioning.
Sorry, Ellah. I know you feel the knife turning right about now. Unless, you played it back.
I expect a few doubles off here today.
I played MO today and got a box.. v4 had been missing for some time.. After seeing it as a double vtrac night before last.. I thought.. better play the group... Wish I had thought of this post and I would have gone straight with that one..
I am always, always, always doing research on 3 digits.
I am keeping track of all combos right at the moment based on 18 states midday & evening combined--so this list is only of those numbers that haven't been pulled in close to 2 weeks.
I live for this sort of stuff. So any time anyone wants to know something about a particular combo that I can help with, just ask.
I am tracking the draws separately as well, but since I like to grab a hit realatively quick or I get bored, I combine everything.
FYI: Be on the look out for the 971 combo. It is Way Way Way over due.
But I am on the lottery wagon until next month---so I hope someone nails that combo to the wall.
Lottaloot, is it possible you can help me for Idaho this week with some pairs or your thoughts.
I really like 910,801,380,210,200 this weekend and next week. Your thoughts please.
I know you address this question to Lottoloot.. but I would like to mention a fact here..
ID is missing v5... so keep that one in mind when playing .. It has to return..

JAMES FARMER Q.C.
LL.M (Hons) AucklandPh. D Cambridge
James Farmer QC
Chris Goode
Having a Balanced Life Style - Part 4
Written by Jock Anderson for the New Zealand Law Society, "Law Talk"
"Father and Son Enjoy Courtroom Jousting"
When he's not cooking up exotic dishes for friends Leo Farmer immerses himself in non-law-related projects – his latest is the one-year restoration of a 1978 Fiat 124 Spider.
With help from his Queen's Counsel father, noted sailor and occasional courtroom adversary Jim Farmer, Leo says the restoration may not be state of the art "but it will look good".
Leo Charles Alfred (Leo) Farmer
Entry to law
Graduated BA (Hons) and LLB (Hons) from Auckland University in 2006, LLM from London School of Economics and Political Science in 2007. Admitted 2006.
Partner in Meredith Connell's commercial practice group.
Specialty Area
General commercial and civil litigation for both private and public sector clients.
He says the two-door convertible is "mechanically very good and cosmetically hopeless."
"The task is to make it look as well as it runs…"
He says that unlike his gardening projects – "ripping everything out and replanting" - the Fiat is a much slower process.
"I have a great interest in cars [his day car is a Volvo] but don't understand how they work and are out together … This is about how things are put together."
"We are trying to keep it original, except when it can be made better."
"The plan is to keep it and take out on weekend, it's not for going to work."
"I take the attitude with work and anything I do outside work, that if I'm going to do it I've got to get the detail right…"
Recently made a partner at Auckland Crown warrant holder Meredith Connell, where he has worked – with a year off to complete his masters degree at the London School of Economics and Political Science - since his admission in 2006, Leo has extensive experience in relation to cartel and price fixing proceedings brought by the Commerce Commission.
"The LSE has a reputation for having an alumnus full of despots and dictators, but it's great university, and one of the nicer smaller London colleges."
Leo's plan was to return to New Zealand after his masters and get his post qualified experience up so he could go back to the UK and work, but the developing global financial crisis made it unattractive.
"By the time things picked up I was enjoying what I was doing here, and have always been with Meredith Connell."
In a protracted courtroom wrangle over whether New Zealand courts had jurisdiction to impose pecuniary penalties against eight major airlines for price-fixing (Commerce Commission v Air New Zealand Ltd & Ors), Leo scored a significant victory for the Commission against the airlines – including the one his Dad represented.
"We beat him and I enjoyed the experience … No doubt he'll get one back…"
"It's important to have something outside work which gives a bit of relief from the stresses of work - although some of my projects cause their own stresses…"
"It also gives a bit of perspective about the work you are doing and that there are things outside of the law…"
"It's important we remember that as lawyers, both for our own sanity but it also helps you relate to your clients interests and makes you a more interesting person…"
"I love projects and always have something on the go. I'm an avid gardener and when I bought a house I took great delight dedicating every weekend for a couple of months ripping everything out of the garden and replacing it."
"It's mostly flowers … I have slight green fingers but that doesn't extend to anything you can eat…"
He's also tackled restoring an old couch of his grandmothers "with help from someone who knew what they were doing…"
"It doesn't really matter what the project is if it gives a bit of distraction from work and is something to get excited about…"
Cooking and eating is another passion: "I spend hours on the weekend cooking and having people over for dinner."
A trip to Morocco earlier this year presented another eating challenge.
"I'll eat anything, the spicier the better, and am keen on a lot of foods you don't usually come across."
He likes interesting Scandanavian food and recently experimented on work colleagues with the Swedish dish gravlax – basically raw salmon packed with salt and citrus, which involves a three-day preparation.
"They all turned up for work so it couldn't have been too bad."
With Dad Jim a major-league sailor, former director of Team New Zealand and a member of America's Cup race management, sailing is in the family.
"I used to be a really big sailor and it's always great spending a bit of time sailing with Dad and the experienced guys he sails with."
"But you have to commit many hours to sailing and the team and turn up everytime and these days it's hard to make the time.
"Time is more precious now I'm a partner."
"I wish I could read more … I read The Economist every week and re-read Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird and Go Set a Watchman, which are both worth reading … Although Watchman showed the power of having a good editor…"
[Jim Farmer also read these books when he went on a recent 7000km road trip across the United States in a Chev Corvette.]
"Like a number of lawyers I follow legal drama Suits on television but cannot stomach competitive cooking shows…"
"I like a bit of everything musical. I'm a massive Sting and Talking Heads fan but there's nothing wrong with a bit of Katy Perry … And I like Nina Simone and the jazz greats…"
"I was forced to learn the piano most of my childhood and even did School Cert music, but I do not sing or play any instruments … Unlike my sister who played for the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra as a percussionist … She did a music degree and a commerce degree, which is why she's a banker…"
"If I wasn't a lawyer I would be an architect."
"Detail and design is fascinating … I'm a big fan of design that looks good, is simple and makes people's lives easier … Unfortunately I have no mathematical ability so that probably wouldn't stand up…"
"And I'm a fan of British designer and television presenter Kevin "Grand Designs" McCloud …. Him and UK show For The Love Of Cars, [presented by actor and car enthusiast Philip Glenister and restoration expert Ant Anstead.]"

Basque peace progress
Less optimism among Basques about the peace process in the Basque country
According to the results of a study carried out by the University of the Basque Country and made public to the media in Spain today, 64 percent of Basque people fear that ETA may kill again and 33 percent no longer believe that the ceasefire called by the terrorist group in March is the first step towards ETA eventually disappearing altogether.
An increase in violent acts being carried out by groups of youngsters in several Basque towns and declarations by members of the political wing of ETA blaming the Spanish government for the lack of progress being made in the peace process are behind the most pessimist study to have been carried out since ETA announced the permanent ceasefire last Spring.
The Basque University measures public opinion with this study – called – twice a year. The results made public today contrast with the results just six months ago, when 86 percent of people said they viewed the peace process with optimism (compared to 62 percent this time), and 61 percent expressed their outright rejection of ETA then, compared to just 50 percent this time.

Update: On Saturday 30th December ETA planted a bomb in one of the carparks in Madrid Airport.
Police managed to evacuate 2000 people before the bomb exploded, but two people are missing and feared dead. The bomb was one of the biggest ever used by the Basque terrorist group and signals the end of the ceasefire and, presumably, the peace process.

Young People Set Example for Ethnic Integration in Macedonia

"Macedonians and Albanians in our school did not always get along very well, but this has slowly been changing."
October 2018 — Most schools in Macedonia are not ethnically integrated. If a school is in an ethnically diverse community, often the school will operate in shifts, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Each shift delivers instruction in a different language.
Children of the same age who attend the same school but are from from different ethnicities might never have the opportunity to interact with one another. With limited exposure to children from other ethnicities, students end up having prejudices about their peers from different ethnic backgrounds.
Sofija Matovska, 14, is ethnic Macedonian and studies at Zivko Brajkovski Primary School in Skopje. Anisa Plakaj, 14, is ethnic Albanian and attends the same school. They met and became friends at a joint art workshop in 2012 organized through the USAID Interethnic Integration in Education Project.
Stepping out of their comfort zones, students studying in Macedonian and Albanian languages collaborated to plant flower gardens at a fun art workshop. By creating a space for students to share common interests, their teachers helped foster friendships among students who enjoy similar activities.
"Initially, I wasn't particularly interested in meeting new people. But I'm just so glad that they brought us together for the art workshop. That was six years ago. We have been friends ever since," said Sofija.
"We are not like most people our age. We enjoy practicing mathematics, while most of our friends want to take pictures and post them on Instagram. Both of us love traveling. We want to see new places and experience new things," said Anisa. "Had it not been for the joint art workshop, we might not have found each other — two teens who prefer going to each other's homes to practice math instead of hanging out at the park and listening to music."
Because Anisa speaks Macedonian very well, there was no language barrier. In other cases, students learn each other's language by participating in joint activities with the help of their teachers, who also teach in different languages.
Sofija and Anisa are an example of the thousands of friendships that have blossomed across Macedonia through curricular and extracurricular activities organized by multiyear USAID projects to advance interethnic integration. Activities include bringing students from the same neighborhood, and at times from different cities, to meet and collaborate with peers from different ethnicities. The students volunteer together to beautify community spaces, engage their mayors to fix sidewalks and add speed bumps outside their schools, and draw the local authorities' attention to air pollution.
These activities provide a platform for students from different ethnicities to come together and take collective action at a grassroots level. USAID-funded interethnic integration projects are conducted in partnership with schools and local municipalities, multiplying the impact students have on their schools and communities.
"Macedonians and Albanians in our school did not always get along very well, but this has slowly been changing," said Sofija. "I believe that we are setting an example for our peers."
By creating opportunities for students to interact with one another and collaborate on initiatives, the USAID Youth Ethnic Integration Project, which began in 2017, fosters positive interactions among ethnically diverse youth at the school and community level, and improves civic engagement among Macedonia's youth. The project targets youth from all primary and secondary schools across Macedonia. There are 435 schools in the country with approximately 200,000 students.
The project builds on the achievements of its predecessor, the USAID Interethnic Integration in Education Project (2011-2016), which raised awareness and trained school boards, principals, teachers and administration officials to deal with diversity and multiethnic issues in support of central and local government efforts for ethnic integration. All teachers, totaling about 20,000, from all schools were trained under the project.
