"Got It" - Hillary Agreed With Podesta Not To Distribute Confidential Intelligence By Private Email Account
As reported previously, when discussing Hillary Clinton's email in which revealed US intel and strategy regarding the middle east, and disclosed that Qatar and Saudi Arabia were funding the Islamic State, John Podesta said he was willing to discuss sensitive information with his future boss Hillary Clinton while he worked for President Obama and she was a private citizen in August 2014, but he knew better than to send the intel over Clinton’s private server from his Gmail account, emails released Thursday by WikiLeaks show.In the exchange which Hillary Clinton previewed by stating"*sources include Western intelligence, US intelligence and sources in the region"*, and who had resigned as secretary of state 18 months earlier, asked then-Obama counselor Podesta if he knew who was responsible for an Aug. 18 airstrike in Tripoli, in which unidentified bombers blew up an Islamist-controlled arms depot in the Libyan capital. “*Yes and interesting but not for this channel,” *Podesta replied in the Aug. 19, 2014 message to Clinton’s hrod17@clintonemail.com account.
As fox previously observed, the conversation suggests that Podesta, now Clinton’s campaign chairman, was willing to provide Clinton information that had not been made public. Reports from The New York Times and The Associated Press at the time included denials of involvement from the U.S., France, Italy and Egypt and debunked claims of responsibility from a rogue Libyan general. Podesta, in his email response, indicated he had his own *sources. But he also apparently recognized he shouldn’t share the information over their personal accounts*. It's unclear if he was concerned more about the security on her clintonemail.com account or his Gmail account -- which would be hacked months later, in turn exposing the email chain Thursday.
Podesta’s concern could show that at least one close Clinton ally was aware of the risk of sharing sensitive or classified information over the unsecured server.
And today, thanks to the latest - and perhaps last - Wiki release, we know that Hillary agreed with Podesta when in the last email in that thread she replied simply, "*got it.*" It is unclear if this was the first time Hillary Clinton realized that sending potential confidential intelligence by private email is frowned upon.

“BIOFACH INDIA Together with INDIA ORGANIC 2016” Starts on a Positive Note in New Delhi
*Shri Rani Kumudini, IAS, Joint Secretary, Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India*, inaugurated the 8^th edition of “*BIOFACH India* together with *INDIA ORGANIC 2016*” today at *NSIC Exhibition Grounds, Okhla*. Other eminent dignitaries present at the inauguration included *Mr. Sompal*, Ex Member Planning Commission, Ministry of State - Agriculture, Govt of India, *Markus Arbenz*, Executive Director, IFOAM organics International, *Markus Reetz*, Executive Director, International Exhibitions, *NurnbergMesse, Sonia Prashar*, Managing Director, Nuernberg Messe India & *Manoj Kumar Menon*, Executive Director, ICCOA.*L to R - Sonia Parashar, Markus Reetz, Markus Arbenz, Sompal, Rani Kumudini, Manoj Menon*
The three day exhibition which is happening for the first time in New Delhi opened on a very positive note with both industry as well as consumers flocking the venue, eager to know more about the organic products. We are targeting business enquiries worth Rs100 crore and more, says *Sonia Prashar, Managing Director, Nuernberg Messe India &* Manoj* Kumar Menon, Executive Director, ICCOA. *A niche and exclusive International trade show on organic products in India that has a strict certification criteria thereby ensuring the quality of the products on display, is organized by *Nuernberg Messe India Pvt. Ltd.* and the co-organizers are the *International Competence Centre of Organic Agriculture (ICCOA).*
With the rise in awareness of healthy food in Metropolitan cities today, organic food is no longer just a Fad! The demand for Organic foods especially Fruits & Vegetables has intensified in big cities in the past few years. The rise in health consciousness, changing lifestyles, mounting disposable spending and growing availability of organic food products in shopping malls and retail shops makes the Metros as the focal point. *Sonia Prashar, Managing Director, Nuernberg Messe India* reiterates the growing importance of Organic products by saying, “Our priorities revolve around organic growth and our focus is on growing our existing platform. The increasing number of reliable and healthy options in the market have given us an opportunity to nurture the increasing demand. We are elated to bring BIOFACH India together with INDIA ORGANIC to our own city for the first time.”
The Growing Organic Trend With people adopting a healthier and more sustainable lifestyle, organic products are seeing more acceptance and growing popularity. The market is growing at a healthy rate. In the last five years, the shelf space of such products in metros has tripled. This is enhancing entrepreneurial opportunities and prodding retailers to offer more to the consumers. The multi-fold growth in the number of organic stores and brands across the capital, with the increase in government initiatives to enhance the production and consumption of such products have only encouraged the capital to host the next *Organic World Congress *in 2017. The main idea is to expose the Global organic farming movement to the tremendous expansion of organic farming that has taken place in India, especially Delhi in the past decade. Going by IFOAM statistics, India hosts the largest number of organic farmers in the world.
“ICCOA, with its grass-root experiences has realised that organic farming is sustainable to the farmer only if market linkages are developed. Adoption and certification is only the first step. Links with businesses to sell organic produce at a premium and consistent buying support is essential to keep the farmer motivated. With the growing demand from Metropolitan cities, shifting our venue from one of the largest producers, Kerala, to a consistently growing consumer, New Delhi – our next venue for the show, is ready to welcome our stakeholders with open arms.” says, *Manoj Kumar Menon, Executive Director ICCOA *
This edition of *BIOFACH INDIA together with INDIA ORGANIC* will showcase participation by more than 150 companies from India and all over the world, displaying a wide range of organic products. There will be a buyer-seller meeting organised onsite international buyers from Europe, US, Middle East and Asia meet, so as to specifically extend their network and develop new procurement sources.

Besides food and beverage there will also be an impressive participation from the *Natural Care & Wellness sector, Organic Textiles Sector, Certification Bodies as well as participation by leading Government Boards like Tea Board, Coffee Board etc.*
Among the international presence are big Conglomerates like …..
*BIOAGRICOOP S.C.R.L *from* Italy* who are looking at expanding their operation in the Indian market through active promotion of organic food like olive oil, tomato sauce, wines, pasta , coffee and many other products.
*M K Entreprises *from* Japan* are looking for options in India to introduce their *Laundry Revolution from Japan, The Ultimate Detergent Alternative. *The product saves time and money by not requiring frequent purchase of regular detergent, saving money by conserving power and water usage.
*Murray River Organics Ltd. *from* Australia* is the largest fully vertically integrated producer and marketer of certified organic dried vine fruit in the World. Through acquisitions and organic growth, Murray River Organics Ltd. is rapidly developing towards becoming a Leading Organic, Natural and “Better-for-You” food products company, servicing customers globally.
Concurrently with the Exhibition, an *International Conference* will be held to deliberate on the current practices / trends / challenges faced by the organic sector with eminent key National and International speakers from relevant industry.

Akers Biosciences loads bases with European breath scan patent
Akers Biosciences (LON:AKR, NASDAQ:AKER) has won European patent protection for its breath ketone detector. This safeguards the technology at the heart of the device that offers a non-invasive method of monitoring diabetes. The award offers “broad coverage” of the intellectual property and “has been some years in the making”, said a “delighted” Raymond Akers, the company’s co-founder and chief scientific officer. Ketones are acids that have the potential to build up in the body causing a condition referred to as ketosis. The company is the first to come up with a simple but effective method of detecting ketones that show up in blood and breath first before being present in urine. The BreathScan monitor offers a quick alternative to blood tests for sufferers of both type-one and type-two diabetes, but also gives Akers access to a huge weight management market. The body lapses into ketosis when it is burning off fat on certain diets – the current tests use strips and sticks to test urine. The company already has patent protection for its breakthrough product in the US. Diabetes is such a huge problem in the US that over half total diagnostic spend goes on monitoring the disease. Take your breath away Many of the products Akers is developing use biomarkers in the breath to work their magic. They range from a rapid lung cancer detector through to a device that measures HDL, LDL and total cholesterol levels instantly. And there are a number that have “blockbuster potential”, according to the company, including one for the alcohol levels of car drivers. Last year, it reported good progress with two new breath tests launched at the World Congress on Anti‐Ageing Medicine. Health check Using the BreathScan technology, KetoChek and OxiChek will address this growing demand in the “weight loss and anti-ageing markets." Consumers use the two tests with a bluetooth-enabled reading device, BreathScan Lync, to monitor trends in their critical metabolic processes. Suppliers of nutritional supplements and diet plans and health coaches in fitness centres would also be able to monitor clients more effectively. OxiChek measures oxidative stress, more commonly known as free radicals, in the body and is the only device of its kind on the market. Cardiac, cancer and arthritic diseases require the monitoring of free radical levels, something that Akers said can be done with its system on any smartphone or mobile. KetoChek, aimed at serious athletes and dieters, assesses if the user is in the optimal fat-burning state for weight loss, or ketosis. This state of ketosis is the aim of many low carbohydrate diets and endurance athletics. Akers said its test was the only disposable, breath-based ketone detection device on the market. HIT test going great guns Shares in Akers have doubled this year as sales of its heparin allergy test as its commercial push gathers momentum. Again, it has the only rapid test approved by the US and EU to detect this potentially fatal allergy to the widely used blood thinner. US patent protection granted HIT reverses the effect of heparin and turns it into a clotting agent, which is clearly very dangerous. Millions of patients around the world take heparin each year and between 1% and 5% of those patients receive a HIT diagnosis. Most at risk are patients undergoing major cardiac or orthopaedic surgical procedures. Presence in all key markets Akers’ HIT test now has a presence in every major diagnostic market after inking agreements for India, Germany, Italy and Scandinavia last year. By the end of 2016 the product could be in 500 US hospitals. Beijing-based Novotek meanwhile has exclusive sales and marketing rights for PIFA Heparin/PF4 Rapid Assay products in China. There are estimated to be 12mln patients who are prescribed heparin in China and with 1-5% of patients developing HIT the potential demand is for up to 0.6mln tests per annum, it adds. --updates for European patent award in November-
