Come to Canada, explore the paradise !

A country can only develop to its top extent if it does well enough to maintain the happiness level of its residents at the highest. The countries whose residents are happy and in peace develop much swiftly than the ones whose residents are not.

Canada is the north most country of the North American continent. It is spanned in a large area along the borderline of the USA in the south, Alaska in the west, and Atlantic Ocean in the east and north directions. Canada is well known for its diverse population. People from almost all religions and nationality live here in peace and harmony.

Like every other developed country, Canada too celebrates its cultural events every year. These events are worldwide popular and attract hundreds of thousands of tourists every year. Groomed with lights and heritage, a particular cultural event represents its community along with the enriched heritage. Toronto, being closer to the US and also being climatically more stable than other cities in Canada, enjoys much tourist attention during cultural events. Toronto also has a large amount of diversification in people. So, it is the hosting place of all the cultural events throughout year. So there are a lot of things to do in Toronto.

Here is a list of a few cultural festivals/ or events that are world famous and worth watching for everyone.

1. Glengarry highland games: held in Maxville Ontario, this cultural event witness massive crowd every year. In this festival further small events occur. These small events like Scottish mass band, heavy events in which physical strength of the people is showcased, dancing and, drum and pipe event etc are all held. This event is very popular since it started as early as 1948.

2. Caribana: as the name depicts, Caribana is the largest street festival in North America in which Caribbean people showcase their culture and history by dancing, drumming and portraying. This festival witnessed more than 1 million crowns on the streets.

3. Festival of northern lights: this is again one of the most popular lighting events in the world. Celebrated from November to January every year, the lights twinkling in Toronto attract many tourists from all over the world. Apart from these festivals, there are much more things to do.

The festivals here in Toronto are well famous, but the city is full of joy and culture even when there is no event. So you cannot think that Toronto is a no-go place when there is no festival. Toronto witnesses thousands of tourists even in the normal business days.

There are incredible Toronto escapes exclusively for foreign tourists. So staying and eating is not a problem there as it is reasonably cheaper than the US. Do check out the internet regarding more landscapes of Canada so you don’t miss your chance to explore the paradise this year.

Kashyap – Another Ace Shuttler in the Making

Parupalli Kashyap is not exactly what you call an ‘up and coming’ badminton player. Infact, he has been on the badminton circuit for quite a while now, slowly building upon his reputation and working on his repartee. He might be quite as well-known as his peers who are heavy weights such as Mahesh Bhupathi, Leander Paes, Sania Mirza, Saina Nehwal et al but this 26 year old is well on the road to cementing his place in the badminton field. The year 2012 has been particularly an important milestone in Parupalli Kashyap profile and career graph.

Kashyap enrolled into S.M. Arif’s training camp in Hyderbad, India, when he was just eleven years old. He briefly trained with the Padukone Academy in Bangalore before he moved on to Gopichand Academy, presided over by the former All England Open Badminton Champion- Pullela Gopichand. His professional career did not kick off until the year 2005 when he won the boys’ singles title at the National Junior Open Badminton Championships, while representing Andhra Pradesh. He started participating in International Tournaments the following year.

His first significant movement was when he defeated Przemysław Wacha, the then World No. 19, at the pre-quarter finals. The players had another show down few months down the lane, where again Kashyap emerged successful. This win gave him and his mentor the confidence boost they needed. The same year, he represented India at the 2006 Asian Games. He then proceeded to capture a gold medal for Andhra Pradesh at the 33rd National Games. Year 2007 was equally advantageous to the prolific player. He went on to win other International tournaments. In 2008, he was the runner up at the Thailand International, Spanish Open as well as the Toulouse Open. His only notable achievemnt in 2009 was coming in third at the Singapore Super Series. The following year he won a bronze medal at the 2010 Commonwealth Games. He also reached the semi final round of the Indian Open Grand Prix that year.

After a rather uneventful 2011, he managed to be a semi finalist at the 2012 Djaram Indonesia Open. He created Indian Badminton history when he reached the quarterfinals of the 2012 London Olympics, becoming the first Indian male to do so. This elevated his worldwide ranking to a 19th position. His latest triumph at the Syed Modi International India Grand Prix coupled with Parupalli Kashyap statistics promoted him to a sixteenth rank.

Enzymes Development and Optimization: the Application Fields You Most Want to Know

The interpretation of enzymes in the modern industry certainly does not refer to yeast, but to proteins with catalytic functions. As a natural catalyst, enzymes promote various chemical reactions in cells and play a vital role in the existence of living organisms. From the concept of enzymes, to the mature industrial enzyme production, it has probably gone through 130-40 years. The Greek translation of the enzyme is “in yeast”, meaning from yeast. In 1897, after the methods of disruption for yeast, the extract obtained had the function of converting glucose into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Since then, people have begun to identify and explore “some biological macromolecules can catalyze chemical reactions.”

Compared with traditional chemical catalysis, the characteristics of protein catalysis/enzyme catalysis are high quality and less waste. This is one of the reasons why the enzyme industry has risen in the past 40 years. The development of modern biotechnology is also an important driving force for the enzyme industry to move forward. Contemporary biotechnology, such as sequencing technology, protein engineering (enzyme engineering), fermentation, and bioprocessing, are all contributing to development and production. More complex and efficient enzyme products. It is believed that in the near future, the enzyme industry will only continue to expand and penetrate into more areas where the traditional chemical industry is difficult to expand.

The practical application of enzymes has been very extensive, including technology industry, food manufacturing, animal feed, organic synthesis and other fields.

In the field of application of these enzymes, the most common one should be the detergent manufacturing industry. The application of detergent and enzymes can be traced back to the 1960s. It was found that enzymes can catalyze the degradation of stubborn stains at relatively mild temperatures. Enzymes can also be naturally degraded as proteins without any environmental stress. The enzymes added to the current washing powder mainly include: protease, lipase, amylase, cellulase. Protease accounts for a large proportion. It is worth mentioning that almost all proteases in the detergent industry today are found in Bacillus species.

In addition to washing powder, what is the application of enzymes in the textile industry? The most common should be the enzymatic treatment of wool fabrics. As early as the 1980s, people began to use protease to treat wool fabrics to prevent shrinkage. Traditional wool fabrics require a chlorine-hercosett process to prevent shrinkage, but this method is not environmentally friendly, and later enzyme treatment is much better. In addition to the production of enzymes, the food industry’s demand for enzymes is also quite large. For example, in the global enzyme industry sales in 2018, the food industrial enzyme sales reached 1.5 billion US dollars, and in terms of enzyme products, the demand grows fast.

In the food industry, the most common enzyme applications should be amylase and amyloglucosidase hydrolyzed starch. The hydrolyzed starch produces small molecular monosaccharides or polysaccharides that give the food a sweet taste. In addition to this, there is an example in which glucose isomerase is used to catalyze glucose to produce fructose syrup.

Enzymes, in other words, are just proteins. Since there are only a lot of enzymes for industrial use in the future, it is known that the future development and optimization of catalytic proteins are essential. So what is enzymes development and optimization?

If you are an enzyme company owner and want to produce enzymes, you definitely want your enzymes to have low production costs, high product stability, and high enzyme catalyzed efficiency. But most of the enzymes found in nature do not have these characteristics, then you either go to the natural world to find enzymes that are more in line with production requirements, or to modify existing enzymes to meet your expectations. This is called development and optimization.
