Reefer Container Temperature for Pomegranate

Reefer Container Temperature for Pomegranates: Ensuring Freshness During Shipping
Pomegranates are delicate fruits that require precise temperature control to stay fresh during transit. For optimal storage and shipping, reefer containers should be set between 5°C to 7°C (41°F to 45°F). This temperature range slows down the ripening process, preventing spoilage while maintaining the fruit's texture and flavor.
Humidity levels are equally important and should be maintained around 90-95% to prevent dehydration. Proper ventilation also ensures that gases like ethylene, which can accelerate ripening, are managed effectively.
Using reefer containers with accurate temperature and humidity control ensures that pomegranates reach their destination fresh, ready for the market.

USAF B-2 bomber demonstrates ability to neutralize low-cost maritime threats

The U.S. Air Force (USAF) stealth bomber B-2 Spirit recently demonstrated a low-cost, air-released method to neutralize surface vessels during a QUICKSINK test in the Gulf of Mexico, near Eglin Air Base, Florida.
This capability is a response to an urgent need to quickly neutralize maritime threats in large expanses of the ocean around the world, USAF said in an official statement. No other details have been provided.
The QUICKSINK test, conducted in partnership with the U.S. Navy, involved a B-2 Spirit stealth bomber delivering the new capability as part of the second RIMPAC SINKEX exercise in July. The demonstration marks a fundamental advance in the naval warfare capabilities of the U.S. Air Force, highlighting a collaboration between the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), the U.S. Navy and industry partners.

"This technology ensures that the United States can defend its interests, maintain freedom of action and take the initiative in large maritime areas," said Colonel Matthew Caspers, Director of the AFRL Ammunition Board.
The AFRL Ammunition Board, based at Eglin Air Base, is involved in an ongoing Marine Weapons Program together with the U.S. Navy.
The tests take place amid the increase in Iran-backed Houthi attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea. The U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) reported that from December 2023 to mid-February 2024, container transport in the region decreased by 90%. Despite U.S. and European countermeasures, including Operation Prosperity Guardian and the European Union's ASPIDES mission, the Houthis carried out more than 43 attacks between November 19 and March 23, resulting in increased security costs and insurance premiums.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN
June 13, 2024
HEATHER COX RICHARDSON
JUN 14, 2024
The Port of Baltimore reopened yesterday, fewer than 100 days after a container ship hit the Francis Scott Key Bridge on March 26, collapsing it into the channel. The port is a major shipping hub, especially for imports and exports of cars and light trucks—about 750,000 vehicles went through it in 2022. It is also the nation’s second-biggest exporter of coal. In 2023 it moved a record-breaking $80 billion worth of foreign cargo. 
After the crash, the administration rushed support to the site, likely in part to emphasize that under Democrats, government really can get things done efficiently, as Democratic Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro demonstrated in June 2023 when he oversaw the reopening of a collapsed section of I-95 in just 12 days. Reopening the Port of Baltimore required salvage workers, divers, crane operators, and mariners to clear more than 50,000 tons of steel.
Yesterday, at the reopening, Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg noted the “whole of government” response. State leadership under Maryland governor Wes Moore worked with those brought together by the Unified Command set up under the National Response System to coordinate the responses of the local government, state government, federal government, and those responsible for the crisis to make them as effective and efficient as possible; the Coast Guard; the Army Corps of Engineers; the first responders; and the port workers. 
Buttigieg noted that the response team had engaged all the stakeholders in the process, including truck drivers and trucking companies, trade associations, and agricultural producers. He gave credit for that ability to the administration’s establishment of the White House Supply Chains Disruptions Task Force, which, he said, “put us in a strong place to mitigate the disruptions to our supply chain and economy.”  
Clearing the channel was possible thanks to an immediate down payment of $60 million from the Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration. The department estimates that rebuilding the bridge will cost between $1.7 billion and $1.9 billion. President Joe Biden has said he wants the federal government to fund that rebuilding as it quickly did in 2007, when a bridge across the Mississippi River in Minneapolis suddenly collapsed. Within a week of that collapse, Congress unanimously passed a measure to fund rebuilding the bridge, and President George W. Bush signed it into law. But now some Republicans are balking at Biden’s request, saying that lawmakers should simply take the money that has been appropriated for things like electric vehicles, or wait until insurance money comes in from the shipping companies. 
Meanwhile, former president Trump traveled to Capitol Hill today for the first time since the January 6, 2021, riots. Passing protesters holding signs that said things like “Democracy Forever, Trump Never,” Trump met first with Republican lawmakers from the House and then with Republican senators, who, according to Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), gave him “a lot of standing ovations.” Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA) called it “bring your felon to work day.” 
Republicans billed the visit as a brainstorming session about Trump’s 2025 agenda, but no discussions of plans have emerged, only generalities and the sort of cheery grandstanding McConnell provided. The meeting, along with a press appearance at which Trump made a short speech but did not take questions before shaking a lot of Republican hands, appeared to be an attempt to overwrite the news of his conviction by indicating he is popular in Congress.
The news that has gotten traction is Trump’s statement that Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where the Republicans are holding their convention in July, is a “horrible city.” Republicans are trying hard to spin this comment as a misunderstanding, but their many different attempts to explain it away—as meaning crime, or elections, or Pere Marquette Park (!)—seem more likely to reinforce the comment than distract from it. 
Indeed, it’s possible that the agenda had more to do with Trump than with the nation. Anna Massoglia of Open Secrets reported today that Trump’s political operation spent more than $20 million on lawyers in the first four months of 2024, and Rachel Bade of Politico reported hours before the House meeting that Trump has been obsessed with using the powers of Congress to fight for him and to, as she puts it, “go to war against the Democrats he accuses of ‘weaponizing’ the justice system against him.” 
Bade said that after his May 30 conviction by a unanimous jury on 34 criminal counts, Trump immediately called House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), insisting in a profanity-laden rant that “We have to overturn this.” Johnson is sympathetic but has too slim a House majority to deliver as much fire as both would like, especially since vulnerable Republicans aren’t eager to weaponize the nation’s lawmaking body for Trump. 
As David Kurtz of Talking Points Memo explained this morning, House Republicans “are already advancing Trump’s campaign of retribution.” Yesterday they voted to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress and recommended his prosecution for refusing to hand over an audio recording of special counsel Robert Hur’s interview with President Biden. Biden, who was not charged over his retention of classified documents as vice president, has provided a transcript of the interview but has exerted executive privilege over the recording.
The demand for the audio is particularly galling, considering that Biden voluntarily testified while Trump refused to be interviewed by either special counsel Robert Mueller or special counsel Jack Smith. But Biden has a well-known stutter, and having hours of testimony in his own voice might offer something that could be chopped up for political ads. 
Indeed, former Republican representative Ken Buck (R-CO) acknowledged that Republicans are “just looking for something for political purposes,” and House Oversight Committee chair James Comer (R-KY) sent out a fundraising appeal promising that the audio recording “could be the final blow to Biden with swing voters across the country.” 
White House Counsel Edward Siskel wrote to Comer and Judiciary Committee chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) saying that the administration “has sought to work in good faith with Congress.” It released Hur’s long report editorializing on Biden’s mental acuity without redacting it, allowed Hur to testify publicly for more than five hours, and provided transcripts, emails, and documents. “The absence of a legitimate need for the audio recordings lays bare your likely goal,” Siskel wrote, “to chop them up, distort them, and use them for partisan political purposes.”
The attack on Garland, journalist Kurtz notes, continues the steady stream of disinformation the House Republicans have been producing through their “investigations” and impeachment hearings and press conferences. 
In the Senate, six MAGA Republicans demonstrated their support for Trump by threatening to block Biden’s key nominees in protest of the New York jury’s conviction of Trump, although they are trying to frame the convictions as “the current administration’s persecution of” Trump. The senators are J. D. Vance (R-OH), Mike Lee (R-UT), Bill Hagerty (R-TN), Roger Marshall (R-KS), Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), and Eric Schmitt (R-MO). 
While MAGA Republicans show their reverence for Trump, Democrats are working to get them on the record on issues the American people care about. 
Today, Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) held a vote on whether to advance a bill that would provide federal protection for in vitro fertilization (IVF), an infertility treatment in which a human egg is fertilized outside the body and then placed in a human uterus for gestation. IVF is popular: a March poll by CBS News/YouGov found that 86% of Americans think it should be legal, while only 14% think it should be illegal. But the white evangelical Christians who make up the Republicans’ base are increasingly demanding that the nation’s laws recognize “fetal personhood,” the idea that a fertilized egg has the full rights of a living human. This would end all abortion, of course, as well as birth control that prevents implantation, such as IUDs and Plan B. And, if fertilized eggs are fully human, it would also end IVF because the procedure often results in some fertilized eggs being damaged or discarded. 
This is a vote Republicans did not want to take because voting to protect IVF will infuriate their base and voting to end it will infuriate the 86% of Americans who support it. So they tried to get around it by signing a statement noting that IVF is legal and that they “strongly support continued nationwide access to IVF.” While it is true that IVF is currently legal, the Alabama Supreme Court in February ruled that frozen embryos should be considered unborn children and their destruction could be prosecuted under the state’s Wrongful Death of a Minor Act. In the wake of that decision, two of Alabama’s eight fertility clinics paused their IVF treatments. 
In today’s vote, all but three Republicans voted against taking up the bill protecting IVF. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska voted in favor of it; Eric Schmitt of Missouri did not vote. All the Democrats voted in favor, although Schumer changed his vote to a “no” so he could bring the vote up again later. 
Regarding the difference between the statement and the votes, Leah Greenberg of Indivisible posted: “Who are you gonna believe, me or my voting record?”
In another window onto the future of reproductive rights, the Supreme Court today unanimously decided that the antiabortion groups trying to get the drug mifepristone banned did not have standing to bring the case. This preserves access to mifepristone, commonly used to induce medical abortions, but as legal observers point out, the court ruled only on standing, meaning that others, who do have standing, could bring a similar case. 
This afternoon, Biden posted: “Kamala and I stand with the majority of Americans who support a woman’s right to make deeply personal health care decisions. And our commitment to you is that we will not back down from ensuring women in every state get the care they need.”
And so, going into the 2024 election, the question of abortion is on the table.

updates to her OnePiece verse?
devil fruit user reincarnation of the goddess khrosteia, still stole a devil fruit to cook for her family, but cut it into pieces, making it useless. gods do exist within this canon, and I believe it would be best for her muse if I keep her as close to her main origin as possible. Though, in her own canon, it took a very powerful god to even kill khrosteia in the first place so. . . no main plot along with the marine's seeking her out for the massacre on Egedore Island, the cult of khrosteia is also seeking to bring back their goddess with a blood ritual, hoping to restore her to her most formidable and powerful glory, so that they in turn may gain power. they leave the third eye sketched into her wanted posters and actively follow her to 'protect' her. But they still see her as only a container their goddess chose to reside in. They kill in khrosteia's name, insuring that she remains free to grow and learn until they can take her back to Egedore Island for their ritual.

Off the western coast of Ecuador in South America resides one of Earth's strangest and newest ecosystems, the Galapagos islands. This collection of 20 islands rose from the sea about five million years ago due to volcanic activity in the Pacific, and the creatures that colonized it quickly radiated to fill the brand new niches. One such species, a lizard, took a path that no other lizard had since the time of the dinosaurs. While its brethren colonized the land or debased themselves to become car insurance mascots, this lizard dove snout-first into the sea. Yet, it has begun to struggle due to the ways in which humans have modified the oceans, and this awesome lizard species is now at risk of extinction. Consider: the marine iguana, Amblyrhynchus cristatus..

Going to expand a bit on the "or else."
I was at a group thing the other day and heard someone older (sixties-seventies, not sure of her exact age) asking another woman where she'd gone for vacation because she had such a nice "healthy tan."
I cringed just hearing that phrase -- an advertising myth from a bygone era, which survived longer than its contemporaries such as "cigarettes are good for you" and "children should eat more lard." I'd just finished sorting some publications for a sale, and I read an article in one of them that forcefully reiterated how there was no such thing as a "healthy" tan, all tanning is a sign of irreversible skin damage, and we should all be wearing sunscreen daily to stave off deadly skin cancers -- the diagnosis of which was climbing at record rates compared to other types of cancer.
This article was published in 1990.
We've known since well before the invention of the World Wide Web that unprotected sun exposure can actually kill you, and yet people are still going out without sunscreen -- or even deliberately tanning because "I just want to look good for the wedding," or "I'll get a little tan first so I don't burn," or whatever reason.
Everyone's skin can be damaged by the sun, regardless of skin color or pigmentation. The results of cumulative sun damage aren't just freckles or dryness or leathery texture -- it can be basal cell carcinoma, or melanoma, or squamous cell carcinoma, or even merkel cell carcinoma, which is the deadliest form and often metastasizes to other organs, such as the brain or lungs. (Even when treated successfully, it has a ~40% chance of recurring within 3 years.)
If it sounds like I'm trying to scare you... well, I am. I've had numerous family members and acquaintances diagnosed with skin cancer. Sunscreen (or equivalent gear; see below) is cheap insurance, and it could literally save your life.
Choosing a sunscreen
Not all sunscreens are created equal. Mineral sunscreens (those made with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) are generally better choices; they're more shelf-stable than chemical sunscreens, and offer full-spectrum protection. They're also better for the planet -- most chemical sunscreens are actually toxic to marine life and coral reefs, and should never be used at the beach or around waterways. (Some sunscreens advertise "reef-safe" or "reef-friendly," but those terms are unregulated, so anyone can use them regardless of ingredients. Here's a guide to choosing a true reef-safe product.)
Chemical sunscreens that contain active ingredients such as homosalate, avobenzone and oxybenzone offer full-spectrum protection when new, but only remain at peak effectiveness for a few months in storage (and break down more quickly in high-temperature environments, such as a hot car). Chemical sunscreens should not be stored from year to year. If you have chemical sunscreen left over from a previous year, it's probably expired and will not provide full protection.
Both kinds of sunscreens come in a variety of forms, including sprays, creams, liquids, and solid sticks that you can apply as needed. Choose the type that works best for your own skin and convenience.
For daily use, it's a good idea to wear a sunscreen with SPF rating of at least 15. A lot of daily facial moisturizers contain a light sunscreen, so you can just put that on in the morning to protect yourself from casual sun exposure. If you're going to be outside for any length of time (mowing the lawn, watching a sporting event, going for a walk, shoveling snow), go with SPF 30 or higher. (I wear SPF 50+ any time I'm planning to be outdoors, because I'm pale and at high risk.) Be sure to reapply as directed.
Free/cheap sunscreen samples
If you're worried about the cost of adding sunscreen to your daily regimen (and yes, some varieties can be pricey), here are some places you can get free or lower-cost samples to get you started. (These are USA only, since that's where I'm based, but you can Google "free sunscreen sample" to check what's available in your region.)
LaRoche-Posay Anthelios Melt-In Milk SPF 60 free sample request form, no purchase necessary!
Suntegrity has lower-cost ($2-$7) samples of their tinted SPF 30 sunscreen products
PinchMe offers rotating free product samples such as this sunscreen that you can claim at no charge
DailyGoodieBox also has products on rotation, but they sometimes offer skin care boxes that include sunscreen
Sephora stores offer free take-home samples of nearly every product they sell, including a lot of sunscreen moisturizers; visit a local store if you have one. If you place an online order, you can also add up to three free product samples to your order (online sample products rotate, but there's usually at least one sunscreen product). They also periodically offer sunscreen sample packs that you can purchase at a reduced price to try new products.
Ulta Beauty has a free membership program that sends you a free gift and/or product samples on your birthday; they often have sunscreen available
LOTS of sunscreen companies offer free sunscreen wipes or sample packs at large events such as state fairs, concert festivals, sporting events, etc., so keep an eye out if you go to a big outdoor event!
"...But I HATE the texture/smell/whatever of sunscreen!"
If you don't like the idea of slathering your body in sunscreen, there are other sun protection options available. One of my go-tos is UPF-rated clothing. Whenever I know I'm going to be out in direct sun all day, I wear a long-sleeved, zip-up UPF 50 swim shirt that provides the same or better sun protection as wearing SPF 50 sunscreen. Because it's a thin, lightweight material designed for swimming, it's not hot -- I even wore it in the Sahara desert.
Tumblr media
(It's a selfie, so you can't see much of the shirt, but I wore this thing all over Egypt, Jordan, Türkiye and Greece. I also wear it for, y'know, actual swimming.)
UPF shirts come in many styles, with and without zippers, pockets, or hoods:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
UPF clothing is sold at sporting and outdoors stores (such as REI), as well as on Amazon and other retail sites. Depending on style and features, they run between $20-$60 -- or about the cost of two to four tubes of sunscreen. I paid about $25 for mine several years ago, and I've DEFINITELY gotten my money's worth out of it.
While it's still best to wear sunscreen on any exposed skin (including ears and lips!) when outdoors, you can also reduce direct sun on your face by wearing a broad-brimmed hat. Try to choose one that's solid material, rather than a straw hat with open weaving or holes that allow sunlight through.
In conclusion...
None of us enjoys thinking and stressing about all the ways our environment is trying to kill us, but using sun protection is a simple habit to get into, and it's an easy way to stay safe while still enjoying outdoor activities.
In short: Wear sunscreen.
be pro-aging but wear sun screen. sun protection is not beauty industry propaganda it will save you. wear it. or else.

Navigating Your Options: A Comprehensive Guide To Overseas Auto Transport
Are you planning to move abroad and need to take your beloved vehicle? Or are you'rexpatriate looking to bring your car from overseas? Navigating the world of overseas auto transport can feel daunting. With so many options and details to consider, it's easy to get overwhelmed. But fear not! This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about shipping your vehicle internationally. From understanding different transport methods to preparing your car for its journey, we have all the insights you'll give for a hassle-free experience. Let'sLet's in!
The Different Methods of Shipping Vehicles Overseas
Regarding overseas auto transport, several methods are available to suit different needs and budgets.
One popular option is container shipping. This method offers maximum protection for your vehicle during transit. Your car is securely placed in a container that can be sealed, shielding it from the elements and potential damage.
Another method is Ro-Ro (Roll-on/Roll-off) shipping. This approach drives vehicles onto a specialized vessel to transport them across oceans. While this tends to be more affordable than container shipping, cars are exposed to weather conditions during transit.
Air freight is the fastest way but often has a hefty price tag—It's for those needing their vehicles urgently or transporting luxury cars where speed matters most.
Each method has benefits and drawbacks, so it's essential to choose one based on your specific requirements and circumstances.
How to Prepare Your Vehicle for International Shipping
Preparing your vehicle for international shipping is crucial to ensure it arrives safely at its destination. Start by giving your car a thorough wash. This helps inspectors see any existing damage and prevents dirt from hiding potential issues.
Next, remove all personal belongings from the vehicle. Items inside can add extra weight or might be damaged during transit. It's wise to check with the shipping company about their specific policies regarding what you can leave in the car.
Make sure your gas tank is only one-quarter full. A fuller tank adds unnecessary weight, increases shipping costs, and poses safety risks.
Document your vehicvehicle'sition before shipping. Take clear photos of the exterior and interior as proof of its state before transport. This will serve you well if any disputes arise regarding damages or losses during transit.
Insurance and Documentation for Overseas Auto Transport
Understanding insurance and documentation is crucial when shipping a vehicle overseas. The right coverage ensures peace of mind during transit.
Start by researching various insurance options tailored explicitly for overseas auto transport. Many companies offer marine cargo insurance, which can protect against damage or loss during shipping. Review the policy details carefully to ensure adequate coverage that meets your needs.
Documentation plays an equally vital role in the process. You will need a bill of lading, export declaration, and proof of ownership, among other essential papers. Each destination country may have specific requirements, so check with local authorities beforehand.
Maintaining organized records can streamline communication with your transport company and customs officials. Double-check all paperwork before shipment to avoid delays or complications at ports of entry. Proper preparation makes navigating international waters smoother than you might expect.
Tips for a Smooth and Successful Shipping Experience
Select a reputable shipping company to ensure a seamless overseas auto transport experience. Research their history and read customer reviews to gauge reliability.
Communicate your needs. Discuss timelines, costs, and any special requirements related to your vehicle. Transparency is critical in avoiding surprises later on.
Prepare your vehicle meticulously. Clean it thoroughly inside and out, removing personal items that could be damaged or lost during transit.
Before shipping, take detailed photographs of your car from various angles. This documentation can serve as proof of its condition if disputes arise.
Stay organized by keeping all paperwork handy—shipping contracts, insurance documents, and receipts will be essential for smooth processing at ports or customs checkpoints.
These tips will set the stage for a hassle-free transportation journey across borders.

Reefer Container Temperature for Banana Shipping: Ensuring Optimal Freshness
Tumblr media
Shipping bananas internationally requires careful attention to temperature control to maintain their quality and prevent premature ripening. Reefer containers, or refrigerated containers, are widely used for this purpose, ensuring that bananas reach their destination in prime condition.
Bananas are typically harvested while still green and ripen during transit or upon arrival. To slow down the ripening process and extend their shelf life, it’s essential to maintain the temperature inside the reefer container between 13°C to 14°C (55°F to 57°F).
If the temperature is too low, bananas can experience chilling injury, leading to discoloration, flavor changes, and texture issues. Conversely, higher temperatures may accelerate the ripening process, making them too ripe by the time they arrive at their destination.
Maintaining the right humidity and airflow in reefer containers is equally important. Ideal humidity levels should be kept around 90-95% to prevent moisture loss, while proper airflow ensures an even distribution of cool air throughout the container, keeping the bananas fresh.
By using reefer containers with precise temperature control, banana exporters can minimize spoilage, reduce waste, and ensure that their products arrive in peak condition, ready for consumption.

Sometimes God gives you a word, like, "I will provide a place for you to live*, and when it comes you'll know it's time to move into the future I have for you."
(*together, in marriage)
Sometimes you hold onto that word for years.
Some days it's easy to have hope for what you can't see, but know He's said. Some days the ever-empty horizon makes your heart sick.
Some days you rest. Some days you cry.
Every day, you try to shepherd your heart toward gratitude and praise.
And then...
After more than a thousand days of prayer, He changes everything in a moment.
Finally... Suddenly.
⚡️
Out of nowhere (and after waiting so long), you hold the proof in your hands that He was witness to every arduous day of the journey.
And on that day, you find that the evidence of His knowing means more to you than the evidence of His answer.
~~~
One month ago today, the God of whimsy surprised me and Peter by giving us a sailboat as our first home.
😂🕊️❤️⛵️😭🙌🏼
The past 31 days have contained: Coast Guard and marina inspections, scrubbing every surface bow to stern, the minor task of learning to sail (😂), studying marine engineering, chasing down 20 different leads trying to find live-aboard insurance, down-sizing, packing for a sudden move, and more.
As I said to someone the other day, "Either we're in over our heads, or we're walking on water... I choose to believe that we're walking on water."
Jesus has led us out into some new unexpected, unpredictable, and exciting waves.
But then again, in my story, the waves are the place I've always known to find Him.
🌊⛵️🕊️
"Some went out on the sea in ships;
they were merchants on the mighty waters.
They saw the works of the Lord,
his wonderful deeds in the deep."
- Psalm 107:23-24
