The 7 Principles of HACCP, Explained
HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is the standard for food safety in the US and around the world. It comprises seven principles growers, processors, and manufacturers must follow to ensure that food is safe. HACCP protects the food supply from chemical, physical, and microbiological hazards.
In this blog, we’ll share a brief history of HACCP, explain why every food organization needs to get HACCP right, and look at the seven guiding principles of HACCP.
Let’s dive right in!
A Quick History of HACCP
HACCP started not because of work on the ground, but because of work in outer space. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was planning for the Apollo 11 lunar landing. But astronauts need to be fed, too....

The Flash Season 3 Finale ends without The Wedding
Last night's (May 24) finale of The Flash season 3 threw up a lot of mixed emotions. It started in a happy note as we learn Iris didn't really die, but the funny H.R. with the help of the shape-shifting tech he built earlier in the season swapped places with her and paid the ultimate price.
I will surely miss the Earth 19's H.R. Wells as he supplied comic relief throughout the season, but Iris had to live as that seem to be the point of the entire season. Most of the Flash season 3 centered around how to save...

An Interview with Marlon Kobacker of Australian Sustainable Future Group
When one of the most respected business moguls, Donald Trump was making his bid for the white house, he baffled many by stating that he believed climate change was a hoax. Very few could understand how he had come to that conclusion, especially because the effects of negative human interaction with the environment are so obvious.
In places like China, the smoke that is emitted by vehicles and industries is so heavy that the smog creates traffic snarl-ups, it is snowing in the Sahara, the North Pole seems to be thawing over, and the list is endless. Well, it is...

A Large Asteroid Could Hit the Earth in 2032
A large Asteroid called 2013 TV135 with an estimated size of about 400 metres and force equivalent to 2500 nuclear bombs could hit the earth on August 2032 according to Ukrainian astronomers at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory in the Ukraine. However, NASA has issued a reality check saying that the probability of an impact is only 1 in 63000.
This means that the probability of the Asteroid not impacting the earth is 99.998%, which is quite huge. However, this discovery is significant because of the 10,332 near-Earth objects being tracked by scientists as of October 14, the 2013 TV135 is...

Nanotechnology Review: Promises and Concerns
Nanotechnology deals with creating and manipulating materials, devices, and systems at the Nano scale (that is one billionth of a metre 10-9m). Nanotechnology also deals with building up by self-assembling atoms and molecules into useful structures. Nanotechnology is usually used to describe technology involved in the development and use of materials of size 100nanometre or smaller.
Nanotechnology has generated lots of interest because of its immense potential. At Nano scale, materials exhibit different properties compared to bulk materials. For example, Nano particles of Platinum become more catalytically at Nano scale. Even some materials that are normally non-catalytically as bulk materials...
