Royal kitchens reveal secret recipes

Image
Nearly six decades after independence, the hosts of the royal palace resorts are opening their recipe books to contribute to the experimental culinary wave sweeping through the kitchens of urban India. "Cooking a family recipe is like singing a 'ghazal'. It sounds different each time, but you know the flavor. One of our favorites was 'Shahi Sabzi Pulao'," says, Randhir Singh, scion of the family of the erstwhile Maharaja of Patiala.  It was a dry pulao that could be improvised with meat arranged in layers, he further adds. The pulao, originally cooked by royal chefs, has now been tweaked to suit the low-oil palate. The pulao can be paired with "Murgh Musallam Laung Elaichi", a sweet and sour dry chicken dish with hints of clove, cardamom, lime juice and honey. Like Patiala, till about a decade ago, Tripura was a culinary wilderness unknown to mainland India. The repast table of the Deb Barma family was a locked wonderland. "

Yoga Benefits Can Be Measured with a Simple O2 Test

Yoga benefits are in slower breathing The answer to yoga benefits is in the understanding of breathing. I am not talking about any breathing exercises. Breathing takes place 24/7 and the body requires oxygen 24/7. Hence, it is necessary to consider our automatic or unconscious breathing that is going on day and night. Let me start with traditional views on yoga breathing. There are several classic manuscripts on Hatha Yoga written between centuries ago: Hatha Yoga Pradipika, the Gheranda Samhita and the Shiva Samhita. What do they teach about breathing? Hatha Yoga Pradipika (15 century) "3. So long as the (breathing) air stays in the body, it is called life. Death consists in passing out of the (breathing) air. It is, therefore, necessary to restrain the breath." "17. Hiccough, asthma, cough, pain in the head, the ears, and the eyes; these and other various kinds of diseases are generated by the disturbance of the breath." "28. The breathing is

How to Gain Weight Fast: Most Natural Weight Gain

Image
The most natural way how to gain weight fast is to improve the digestive system, liver function, and appetite (or hunger) naturally by improving blood circulation and increasing body-oxygen levels. When a person is underweight and struggles with weight gain, he or she always has low body oxygenation, generally less than 20 seconds for the body-oxygen test. This means chest breathing 24/7 (which drastically reduces blood oxygenation), possible mouth breathing (especially at night), and chronic overbreathing or breathing more than the norm. These abnormalities cause poor perfusion of all organs, a lack of hunger, low levels of energy, horrible quality of sleep and many other problems. This how to gain weight approach suggests to remove the cause of all these problems: too fast and too deep chest breathing. This how to gain weight program is shown on a diagram. It generally requires up to 30 seconds for the body-oxygen test in order to be very close to one's ideal weight, and ov

India launches first smartphone in space

Image
India space agency has successfully launched the first smartphone of the University of Surrey's Surrey Space Centre (SSC) into orbit. The university's SSC said that the nano-satellite carrying a smartphone, STRaND-1 has been launched into space by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The STRaND-1 is a training and demonstration mission and is loaded with a host of experimental apps. The device was launched into a 785km Sun-synchronous orbit on ISRO's PSLV launcher. The apps for the first smartphone in space were developed by winners of a competition on social networking site, Facebook. The smartphone has an app called, iTesa which will record the magnitude of the magnetic field around the device during orbit. The app could be used for further scientific studies by researchers. The Scream in Space app, which was developed by Cambridge University Space Flight, will use the smartphone's speakers to play videos of the best screams in orbit while its mi

Stuxnet was Sabotaging Iran’s Nuclear Plant a Year Earlier than Assumed

Image
According to researchers, the Stuxnet worm was officially authorized by former President George W. Bush in Jan 2009 to sabotage Iran's nuclear program. The previous version of the worm, Stuxnet 0.5, was at work since Nov 2007 and halted in July 4, 2009. Bush, the former President approved the use of covert activities in Jan 2009 to inhibit Iran from developing nuclear plants using uranium works at Natanz, a year before he left the office. This version of worm is used to disrupt machinery that enhances uranium. The worms find Siemens programmable logic controllers to close the valves at the right time that fed a gaseous state of uranium ore into centrifuges for separating out the uranium. By closing at the right time the valves disrupt the flow of the gas and thereby, damage the centrifuges. Firstly, the normal system state of machinery is analyzed by the worm so as not to allow negative effects of the damage take place. "It will also prevent modification to the valve

Outdoor fast food ads may promote obesity

Image
Washington, Feb 1 : A new research from UCLA has identified a possible link between outdoor food ads and a tendency to pack on pounds. Dr. Lenard Lesser and his colleagues suggest that the more outdoor advertisements promoting fast food and soft drinks there are in a given census tract, the higher the likelihood that the area''s residents are overweight. "Obesity is a significant health problem, so we need to know the factors that contribute to the overeating of processed food," said Lesser, who conducted the research while a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Clinical Scholar at the UCLA Department of Family Medicine and UCLA''s Fielding School of Public Health. "Previous research has found that fast food ads are more prevalent in low-income, minority areas, and laboratory studies have shown that marketing gets people to eat more. This is one of the first studies to suggest an association between outdoor advertising and obesity," said Lesser

New plastic surgery technique launched in Nicaragua

Image
Managua, Feb 2 - A subsidiary of Nicaraguan conglomerate Grupo Pellas presented here a novel plastic surgery method for Latin America based on the use of stem cells extracted from the patient's fatty tissue. "There are several technologies for obtaining stem cells, but ours is the easiest, fastest, most effective and accessible," Dr. Michael Carstens, medical director of Pellas' GID Americas unit, told EFE after presenting the new method at a conference in Managua. Carstens said stem cells from fatty tissue have three functions: generating blood vessels, reproducing the surrounding tissue and calming inflammation. "Any tissue can be reproduced from them (the stem cells), which is why it depends upon what surrounds them - if you implant them in cartilage, they will produce cartilage," Carstens said. For Enrique Ochoa, head of the plastic surgery department at Federico Chavez pediatric hospital in Mexico, "the use of stem cells from fatty tiss
