Sir Ronald Ross had just returned from an expedition to Sierra Leone. The British doctor had been leading efforts to tackle the malaria that so often killed English colonists in the country, and in December 1899 he gave a lecture to the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce [...]. [H]e argued that "in the coming century, the success of imperialism will depend largely upon success with the microscope."

[A]s [...] Diane Nelson explains: The creation of transportation infrastructure such as canals and railroads, the deployment of armies, and the clearing of ground to plant tropical products all had to confront [...] microbial resistance. The French, British, and US raced to find a cure for malaria [...]. One French colonial official complained in 1908: “fever and dysentery are the ‘generals’ that defend hot countries against our incursions and prevent us from replacing the aborigines that we have to make use of.” [...] [T]ropical medicine was assigned the role of a “counterinsurgent field.” [...] [T]he discovery of mosquitoes as malaria and yellow fever carriers reawakened long-cherished plans such as the construction of the Panama Canal (1904-1914) [...]. In 1916, the director of the US Bureau of Entomology and longtime general secretary of the American Association for the Advancement of Science rejoiced at this success as “an object lesson for the sanitarians of the world” - it demonstrated “that it is possible for the white race to live healthfully in the tropics.” [...] The [...] measures to combat dangerous diseases always had the collateral benefit of social pacification. In 1918, [G.V.], president of the Rockefeller Foundation, candidly declared: ��For purposes of placating primitive and suspicious peoples, medicine has some decided advantages over machine guns." The construction of the Panama Canal [...] advanced the military expansion of the United States in the Caribbean. The US occupation of the Canal Zone had already brought racist Jim Crow laws [to Panama] [...]. Besides the [...] expansion of vice squads and prophylaxis stations, during the night women were picked up all over the city [by US authorities] and forcibly tested for [...] diseases [...] [and] they were detained in something between a prison and hospital for up to six months [...] [as] women in Panama were becoming objects of surveillance [...].

Richard P. Strong [had been] recently appointed director of Harvard’s new Department of Tropical Medicine [...]. In 1914 [the same year of the Canal's completion], just one year after the creation of Harvard’s Department of Tropical Medicine, Strong took on an additional assignment that cemented the ties between his department and American business interests abroad. As newly appointed director of the Laboratories of the Hospitals and of Research Work of United Fruit Company, he set sail in July 1914 to United Fruit plantations in Cuba, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Panama. […] As a shareholder in two British rubber plantations, [...] Strong approached Harvey Firestone, chief executive of the tire and rubber-processing conglomerate that bore his name, in December 1925 with a proposal [...]. Firestone had negotiated tentative agreements in 1925 with the Liberian government for [...] a 99-year concession to optionally lease up to a million acres of Liberian land for rubber plantations. [...]

[I]nfluenced by the recommendations and financial backing of Harvard alumni such as Philippine governor Gen. William Cameron Forbes [the Philippines were under US military occupation] and patrons such as Edward Atkins, who were making their wealth in the banana and sugarcane industries, Harvard hired Strong, then head of the Philippine Bureau of Science’s Biological Laboratory [where he fatally infected unknowing test subject prisoners with bubonic plague], and personal physician to Forbes, to establish the second Department of Tropical Medicine in the United States [...]. Strong and Forbes both left Manila [Philippines] for Boston in 1913. [...] Forbes [US military governor of occupied Philippines] became an overseer to Harvard University and a director of United Fruit Company, the agricultural products marketing conglomerate best known for its extensive holdings of banana plantations throughout Central America. […] In 1912 United Fruit controlled over 300,000 acres of land in the tropics [...] and a ready supply of [...] samples taken from the company’s hospitals and surrounding plantations, Strong boasted that no “tropical school of medicine in the world … had such an asset. [...] It is something of a victory [...]. We could not for a million dollars procure such advantages.” Over the next two decades, he established a research funding model reliant on the medical and biological services the Harvard department could provide US-based multinational firms in enhancing their overseas production and trade in coffee, bananas, rubber, oil, and other tropical commodities [...] as they transformed landscapes across the globe.

[On] February 20, 1915, [...] [t]o signal the opening of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition (PPIE), [...] [t]he fair did not officially commence [...] until President Wilson [...] pressed a golden key linked to an aerial tower [...] whose radio waves sparked the top of the Tower of Jewels, tripped a galvanometer, [...] swinging open the doors of the Palace of Machinery, where a massive diesel engine started to rotate. [...] [W]ith lavish festivities [...] nineteen million people has passed through the PPIE's turnstiles. [...] As one of the many promotional pamphlets declared, "California marks the limit of the geographical progress of civilization. For unnumbered centuries the course of empire has been steadily to the west." [...] One subject that received an enormous amount of time and space was [...] the areas of race betterment and tropical medicine. Indeed, the fair's official poster, the "Thirteenth Labor of Hercules," [the construction of the Panama Canal] symbolized the intertwined significance of these two concerns [...]. [I]n the 1910s public health and eugenics crusaders alike moved with little or no friction between [...] [calls] for classification of human intelligence, for immigration restriction, for the promotion of the sterilization and segregation of the "unfit," [...]. It was during this [...] moment, [...] that California's burgeoning eugenicist movement coalesced [...]. At meetings convened during the PPIE, a heterogenous group of sanitary experts, [...] medical superintendents, psychologists, [...] and anthropologists established a social network that would influence eugenics on the national level in the years to come. [...]

In his address titled "The Physician as Pioneer," the president-elect of the American Academy of Medicine, Dr. Woods Hutchinson, credited the colonization of the Mississippi Valley to the discovery of quinine [...] and then told his audience that for progress to proceed apace in the current "age of the insect," the stringent sanitary regime imposed and perfected by Gorgas in the Canal Zone was the sine qua non. [...]

Blue also took part in the conference of the American Society for Tropical Medicine, which Gorgas had cofounded five years after the annexation of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. Invoking the narrative of medico-military conquest [...], [t]he scientific skill of the United States was also touted at the Pan-American Medical Congress, where its president, Dr. Charles L. Reed, delivered a lengthy address praising the hemispheric security ensured by the 1823 Monroe Doctrine and "the combined genius of American medical scientists [...]" in quelling tropical diseases, above all yellow fever, in the Canal Zone. [...] [A]s Reed's lecture ultimately disclosed, his understanding of Pan-American medical progress was based [...] on the enlightened effects of "Aryan blood" in American lands. [...] [T]he week after the PPIE ended, Pierce was ordered to Laredo, Texas, to investigate several incidents of typhus fever on the border [...]. Pierce was instrumental in fusing tropical medicine and race betterment [...] guided by more than a decade of experience in [...] sanitation in Panama [...]. [I]n August 1915, Stanford's chancellor, David Starr Jordan [...] and Pierce were the guests of honor at a luncheon hosted by the Race Betterment Foundation. [...] [At the PPIE] [t]he Race Betterment booth [...] exhibit [...] won a bronze medal for "illustrating evidences and causes of race degeneration and methods and agencies of race betterment," [and] made eugenics a daily feature of the PPIE. [...] [T]he American Genetics Association's Eugenics Section convened [...] [and] talks were delivered on the intersection of eugenics and sociology, [...] the need for broadened sterilization laws, and the medical inspection of immigrants [...]. Moreover, the PPIE fostered the cross-fertilization of tropical medicine and race betterment at a critical moment of transition in modern medicine in American society.

incoming rant: the robotification of women

teri baaton mein aisa uljha jiya (2024) is among the latest movies in the genre of science fiction romance. it reminded me of an old itv show bahu hamari rajnikant (2016) , while i wasn't an avid watcher of the latter, i knew of it's existence. why did it remind of that particular sitcom? well, mainly because of the comedy. but it also reminded me of similar themes in english movies like ex machina (2015), wifelike (2022), archive (2020) and her (2013), which is surely a bit far fetched considering that in her, the ai never had a body. only a voice.

here, i think it's impertinent to also acknowledge male robots in indian cinema, like chitti from robot/enthiran (2010) and g.one from ra.one (2011) even though he wasn't an actual robot? i don't know if he classifies as one. so let's say, non-human, programming-based male entity (nhpbme). similar to samantha in her, a non-human, programming-based female entity (nhpbfe).

so yes, while male robots and nhpbme do exist in the sci-fi romance genre, it's the comparatively larger robotification of women that feeds the male gaze, and the patriarchy by an extention— which is ultimately problematic.

coming to the movie that i actually want to discuss, kriti sanon's sifra, in tbmauj, is the perfect lover, perfect bahu. why? she knows everything aaru (shahid kapoor) likes and wants. she has no chik-chik or tantrums like other girls. she can make cuisines from all around the world, can access everything on the internet quickly. she has perfect skin, perfect hair. probably doesn't age too. she is the dream girl of a typical man. she doesn't have her own opinions or problems, she serves him and him alone. no family of hers to care about, she can care about his family and their needs. the female gendering here acts like objectification.

the worst part of this movie was that it didn't do anything? since it was a comedy, it didn't delve deeper into the nuances of increasing technological reliance that humans have. i think it was probably meant as a warning— when sifra malfunctions and starts executing tasks that were deleted. but even at that, it fails because urmila's (dimple kapadia) company (so intelligently named) e-robots/robotex (something stupid like that), ends up launching her along with few other robots. only adds a dialogue which meant that you need to handle these robots responsibly. then, what was the point of all the testing they tried to do? placing her in different environments like india, when they don't really end up rethinking the whole idea or putting in more safety features? of course, there's no deeper meaning here. indian comedies don't really have subtext.

but it's perpetuates the same old concept of subservient women. rule-followers and caregivers. an image etched in stone. why do women ask– what do men want? men want this, an ideal version. have always wanted. fuelled by the unrealistic p*rn depictions. do they ever think what women want? aaru so casually tells off his friend who has a wife to look at how pathetic his own life is. he defends sifra's un-emotional response to a situation by attacking his friend's relationship asking if human women are any better?

it reminded me of wifelike (2022) where female robots are curated according to a person's need, a replication of their dead spouse. to love them, to serve them, to help them come out of grief. it's so funny to me how in tbmauj, sifra is shown to retain her feelings, getting jealous when aaru interacts with another woman despite getting reprogrammed; compared to how in wifelike, the robotic version of the human it was based on, always ended up leaving the husband because the human version never loved him.

isn't it interesting how female robots instantly get sexualised, and are depicted doing things that one would never ask their girlfriend or wife to do? these robots happily perform roles that are stereotypically feminine, wife-like. they're invented to put aside their feelings (if they have them) to take care of their human partners'. sifra cooks perfect food, emphasized by how many time aaru fired his maid for not cooking things the way he likes it. she probably doesn't have mood swings from periods because she's a robot. she doesn't eat, doesn't get out of shape. and most importantly, she doesn't age (cue: i'll get old but your lovers stay my age). as if the expectations from women aren't enough, that they're required to age gracefully, or best option— not age at all.

if you still don't get it, let me remind you how siri and alexa also end up on the same side of gender spectrum— female.

so the message is, guys, don't give up on your dream girl! you'll surely find a robot that satisfies all your needs! 🙄

men want perfect women, but women can't be robots. let's stop perpetuating the same image and setting unrealistic standards. real humans have real problems, deal with them.

Remembering #KamalAmrohi on his 31st death anniversary (11/02/93).

As a director, he developed a style that combined a stylised direction with minimalist performances. This style was different from the one with expressive acting that was common in the Indian cinema of his period.

Kamal Amrohi was born in Amroha, which was part of British India and is now in Uttar Pradesh, India. He changed his name to Kamal Amrohi later. He was related to two Pakistani writers, Jaun Elia and Rais Amrohvi, as their first cousin. In 1938, Kamal left his hometown to study in Lahore, which is now in Pakistan. There, a singer named K. L. Saigal found him and brought him to Mumbai to work in films. He started his film career at Sohrab Modi's film company, Minerva Movietone, and worked on movies like "Jailor," "Pukar," and "Bharosa."

Kamal Amrohi became a film director in 1949 with his first movie "Mahal," which had famous actors Madhubala and Ashok Kumar. This movie was known for its music. He directed only four movies in total, including "Daaera" with Meena Kumari and Nasir Khan, and "Pakeezah," which took a long time to make and was released in 1972. "Pakeezah" is considered a special movie in India, even though it had some flaws. Meena Kumari, who was a famous actress and Kamal's wife, praised "Pakeezah" as Kamal's tribute to her. His last movie was "Razia Sultan" in 1983. He also started making a film called "Majnoon" but it was never finished.

Kamal Amrohi also wrote scripts for other directors and was one of the writers for the famous movie "Mughal-e-Azam" in 1960, which won him an award. His style of directing was known for being different and unique, focusing more on the visual style and less on dramatic acting.

In 1958, he opened a studio named Kamaal Studios, but it closed after three years. He had planned to make another movie called "Aakhri Mughal" but it was never made. Film maker J P Dutta wanted to make this movie in the late 1990s and again in 2007, but it didn't happen. Kamal Amrohi died on February 11, 1993, in Mumbai, 21 years after his wife, Meena Kumari, passed away. He was buried next to her in Mumbai.

Six days after he died, a newspaper in the UK called The Independent wrote about him, saying he was a big figure in the Hindi film industry for over 50 years.

22nd Wednesday

Running under double reefed Topsails and foresail. Sighted Prince Edwards Isles: neared them in the afternoon and passed them in the first watch. The Snow was lying on The high Land in great quantitys and the air very cold. Several very handsome Cape Pigeons flying about. Slight Snow Shower.

Campbell's Notes:

Prince Edward Isles, Marion (Latitude 46°55'S, Longitude 37°45'E) and Prince Edward (Latitude 46°54'S, Longitude 37°42'E) Islands, may have been sighted by a vessel of the Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie (Dutch East India Company), the Maerseveen, on passage from Cape of Good Hope to Batavia in 1663 and called Dina and Maerseveen, but were definitely sighted by Marion Dufresne on 13 January and Crozet Island on 23 January 1772. (Headland, Chronological, p. 12 and Duyker, An Officer, p. 175.) Prince Edward Island was named by Captain Cook, 12 December 1776 ‘As thise islands have no name in the French Chart, I shall distinguish the two we have seen by the name Prince Edward Islands after His Majesty's 4th Son, and the others Morion and Crozets Islands.’ (Beaglehole, Journals…Resolution and Discovery, I. pp. 25–6.) Prince Edward was Edward Augustus, Duke of Kent, 4th son of King George III. He married Victoria Mary Louise, widow of Emich Charles, Prince of Leiningen and daughter of Francis, Duke of SaxeCoburg and Saalfield and had one daughter, Victoria, who became Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain &c.

Cape Pigeons, or Pintado Petrel, Daption capensis. Roberts, Edward Wilson's Birds, p. 94. Hadoram Shirihai, Complete Guide to Antarctic Wildlife, pp. 139–41, gives modern form Daption capense.

How Water Testing Labs in India Help Businesses in the Food and Beverage Industry Comply with Water Quality Standards

Water is one of the most essential ingredients in the food and beverage industry. From soft drinks and bottled water to sauces, dairy products, and prepared foods, the quality of water directly affects the taste, texture, safety, and overall quality of the final product. For businesses in the food and beverage industry, ensuring that the water used in production meets strict safety standards is not just important—it’s crucial. Contaminated water can lead to product recalls, regulatory fines, consumer health risks, and a damaged reputation.

This is where water testing labs in India play a vital role. Water testing laboratories ensure that water used in food and beverage production meets the required quality standards by testing for a wide range of physical, chemical, and microbiological parameters. They help businesses comply with local regulations, international standards, and internal quality control procedures.

In this blog, we will explore how water testing labs in India help businesses in the food and beverage industry comply with water quality standards, ensuring safe, high-quality products that meet consumer expectations and regulatory requirements.

1. Ensuring Compliance with National and International Standards

The food and beverage industry in India is heavily regulated to ensure public health and safety. Several national and international standards govern water quality in food production. For example, the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) sets specific water quality requirements for food and beverage companies, ensuring that water used in production is free from harmful contaminants.

Water testing labs help businesses comply with these standards by providing accurate testing for various parameters such as:

Microbiological contaminants: Including bacteria like E. coli, Salmonella, and Vibrio cholerae, which can cause foodborne illnesses.

Chemical contaminants: Such as chlorine, heavy metals (e.g., lead, mercury), pesticides, and other toxic substances that can be harmful to consumers.

Physical parameters: Such as turbidity, color, odor, and pH level, which affect water’s suitability for use in production processes.

By conducting regular water quality tests and providing detailed reports, water testing labs ensure that food and beverage companies comply with FSSAI regulations and other national standards. In addition, for companies exporting products, compliance with international standards such as those from the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and ISO 22000 is crucial. Testing labs help businesses meet these global standards, ensuring the quality of their products for international markets.

2. Maintaining Consistent Water Quality for Production

Water quality consistency is critical for food and beverage production. Even minor variations in water quality can affect the production process and, ultimately, the taste and safety of the products. For example, water used in brewing must have a specific composition to produce the desired flavor profile. Similarly, water used in bottling must be free from impurities that could affect the taste or appearance of the product.

Water testing labs help businesses maintain consistent water quality by regularly testing the water used in production. By identifying potential issues such as changes in pH, hardness, or the presence of chlorine, testing labs allow businesses to take corrective action before these issues impact the final product.

In industries such as dairy, beverage manufacturing, and bakery, where water plays a crucial role in production processes, maintaining consistent water quality helps ensure that products are produced to the same high standards every time. Water testing labs provide businesses with valuable data, helping them monitor and control water quality throughout production.

3. Protecting Consumer Health and Safety

The health and safety of consumers are paramount in the food and beverage industry. Contaminated water can introduce harmful pathogens and chemicals into food products, leading to serious health risks. For instance, if the water used in beverage production is contaminated with harmful bacteria or heavy metals, consumers may experience foodborne illnesses or poisoning, leading to product recalls, lawsuits, and significant brand damage.

Water testing labs help protect consumer health by testing for a wide range of contaminants that could be present in water used in food and beverage production. These labs perform tests to detect:

Microbial contamination: Bacteria like E. coli, Salmonella, and other pathogens that can cause foodborne illnesses.

Heavy metals: Contaminants like lead, cadmium, and arsenic that can pose serious health risks, especially if they accumulate over time.

Chemicals: Including pesticides and industrial pollutants that can affect water quality.

By identifying contaminants early through regular water testing, water testing labs help businesses ensure that their products are safe for consumption. This is especially important for products such as bottled water, juices, and dairy products, where water is a key ingredient and directly impacts consumer health.

4. Enhancing Product Quality and Consistency

In the food and beverage industry, consistency is key to maintaining product quality. Consumers expect the same taste, texture, and appearance each time they purchase a product. Any deviation in the water quality used in production can lead to inconsistent product quality, which could affect the consumer experience and lead to dissatisfaction.

For example, in the beverage industry, the presence of chlorine in water can alter the taste of the final product, while hard water can cause scaling in equipment, affecting production efficiency and product consistency. Water testing labs help businesses monitor water quality parameters, such as TDS (Total Dissolved Solids), pH levels, and hardness, to ensure that they remain within acceptable ranges.

By working with water testing labs, businesses can optimize water quality to produce consistent, high-quality products. This consistency is vital for maintaining brand reputation, meeting consumer expectations, and staying competitive in the market.

5. Cost-Efficiency Through Water Treatment Recommendations

Water quality issues, if not addressed promptly, can lead to costly equipment damage, production delays, and regulatory penalties. For instance, hard water can cause scaling in pipes, boilers, and machinery, leading to frequent breakdowns and increased maintenance costs. Similarly, water with high levels of contaminants may require expensive filtration or treatment systems.

Water testing labs not only help businesses identify water quality issues but also provide recommendations for water treatment. Based on the test results, labs can suggest methods to improve water quality, such as:

Water softening to reduce hardness.

Filtration to remove suspended solids or contaminants.

Disinfection to kill harmful bacteria and pathogens.

By implementing these recommendations, businesses can reduce operational costs, improve production efficiency, and prevent costly repairs and downtime. Water testing labs play a crucial role in helping businesses save money in the long run by optimizing water quality.

6. Supporting Sustainability and Environmental Compliance

Water is a finite resource, and industries must use it responsibly. With growing concerns about water scarcity and environmental sustainability, the food and beverage industry must ensure that its water usage is both efficient and environmentally friendly. Testing water quality helps businesses reduce waste, recycle water, and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.

Water testing labs can also test wastewater to ensure it meets the required standards before being discharged into the environment. By assessing parameters such as BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand), COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand), and the presence of harmful chemicals, testing labs help businesses ensure that their operations do not harm the environment and comply with local water pollution control regulations.

Conclusion

Water testing labs in India play an essential role in helping businesses in the food and beverage industry comply with water quality standards. From ensuring compliance with national and international regulations to protecting consumer health, enhancing product quality, and supporting sustainability efforts, these labs provide invaluable services that help businesses maintain high standards. By working closely with certified water testing labs, food and beverage companies can safeguard their operations, meet regulatory requirements, and ensure the safety and satisfaction of their consumers. Regular water testing is not just a legal obligation; it is a crucial step in ensuring the long-term success and sustainability of businesses in the food and beverage industry.
