Semper Fi Captain,
It that ain't the contract, it's pretty damn close. Thinking we have a May 2015 Patent announcement on the technology providing the the tests for the cotton bust too.

No bleeding down at this moment from my screen. I guess that's good. Long way to go, I'm settled in with it may take time to get there. But DAMN Captain, get there we will.

I'd like to have DoD and Pharmaceuitical pillars to rest my assets on. Cotton is our biggest, no matter what.

Park my butt over here for a while.

Shouldnt there be some revenues from this BY NOW? That article was done in January of this year, we have had a few quarters of reporting since.

After reading this, clearly I overlooked the humanitarian aspects. Uzbek cotton could very well have been number one.

Over 264 brands have signed up to a global pledge set up by the Responsible Sourcing Network (RSN), run by the California-based charity As You Sow, vowing not to use Uzbek cotton until the government stops using forced child and adult labor.

“I think many consumers would be appalled to contemplate the notion that the garment they’re wearing could be the product of human trafficking,” Hayward said.

He said Applied DNA Sciences was primarily working with two different types of DNA — an engineered DNA made from a botanical source that allowed it to track that fibre back to its origin.

It was also trying to identify the natural DNA found in cotton fibre that allowed researchers to know which species the cotton fibre is and where it comes from.

He said this gave hints that could provide a trail from finished goods back to the crop although the level of analysis had not gone far enough yet to be truly forensic.

Eqyptian cotton being SO oversold, and getting the premium it does. Everybody was sticking their head in the sand. So by proving it and then they started to market their proof. Now, if some of the blended cotton with the Egyptian was "conflict cotton", you have a serious case that retailers have to listen to.

Imagine if a company (APDN) with a govt. contract to identify conflict cotton comes to you and shows you that the Egyptian cotton goods you are selling "at a premium" violate import laws. What would you do?
