TravelTake A Look At The Photos Of The Coldest City In The World by olascojojo(op): 7:27am On Oct 24, 2016

Winter temperatures in Oymyakon, Russia, average minus 50 C ( minus 58 F). The remote village is generally considered the coldest inhabited area on Earth. Oymyakon is a two-day drive from Yakutsk, the regional capital which has the lowest winter temperatures of any city in the world.

Oymyakon’s lowest recorded temperature was a frigid minus 71.2 C (minus 96.16 F) back in 1924. According to The Independent, wearing glasses outdoors can cause them to stick to the wearer’s face. This is just one of the more menial problems of the extremely cold weather.

HealthSince Milk Is White, Why Is Butter Yellow? by olascojojo(op): 8:54pm On Oct 14, 2016

The difference in color is primarily due to the higher fat content of butter. Cows that eat grass and flowers store the yellow pigment beta carotene, found naturally in those plants, in their fat. The pigment gets carried over into the fat in their milk. Milk consists mostly of water, with just over 3 percent fat in whole milk; cream is usually about 30 to 40 percent fat; and butter contains at least 80 percent fat.

The fat globules suspended in milk or cream are surrounded by a thin membrane that, in essence, ends up hiding the beta carotene pigment. This structure reflects light in such a way that the milk looks white.

Making butter requires churning cream, and during that agitation process “you break the membrane apart, and the fat globules cluster together,” said Elaine Khosrova, the former editor of the publication culture, about cheese making, and author of the new book “Butter: A Rich History.” “That’s the goal of butter making: to break that membrane.” In doing so, you expose the beta carotene, she said. When you separate out the buttermilk after churning, what remains is mostly butterfat, which is the most yellow of all.

You may notice, however, that butter from sheep’s milk, goat’s milk or water buffalo’s milk is white. Those animals don’t store beta carotene the way cows do. Instead, they convert it to vitamin A, which is colorless.

If cows are raised on pasture, their butter is more yellow when the milk is collected in late spring or summer, when the cows have more beta carotene-rich forage to chew on. In wintertime, even cows raised on pasture are usually brought inside and fed grain, which doesn’t have much beta carotene. Some dairies freeze butter so they can sell the yellow-tinged kind year-round.

But, of course, many industrial dairy producers raise cows without ever putting them out on pasture, in which case seasonality makes no difference. Those butters, which are quite common in grocery stores, aren’t very yellow at any point in the year.

“In agricultural communities, every spring their butter was prettier: more yellow,” Ms. Khosrova said. “It’s interesting that we’ve gotten used to pale butter. Now with the rise of artisanal butters that are more golden and yellow, chefs want that on the table, so I really wonder if companies will start sneaking in more color.”

Some commercial dairy producers do add color, usually annatto, which is also sometimes added to cheeses to give them a yellow-orange hue. Annatto is a derivative of seeds from the achiote tree, which is native to Central and South America and grows in tropical regions.

“Seeing the color could affect how our brains perceive the taste,” said J. Kenji López-Alt, the managing culinary director of Serious Eats and the author of “The Food Lab: Better Home Cooking Through Science.”

“So if you have that association, it could make your enjoyment of the butter higher.”

HealthWorld Health Organization Urges Tax On Sugary Drinks To Fight Obesity by olascojojo(op): 9:29am On Oct 12, 2016

The World Health Organization on Tuesday urged countries to impose a tax on sugary drinks to battle the growing obesity epidemic and presented new data on the beneficial health effects of such a tax.

“If governments tax products like sugary drinks, they can reduce suffering and save lives,” Dr. Douglas Bettcher, director of the W.H.O.’s Department for the Prevention of Noncommunicable Diseases, said in a statement. “They can also cut health care costs.”

A spokesman for the W.H.O., Paul Garwood, said South Africa and Britain were considering taxes. Perhaps the best-known success story is in Mexico, which passed a sugary-drink tax in 2013, prompting a substantial drop in consumption. Hungary has imposed a tax on packaged products with high sugars, salt or caffeine levels.

PhonesSee What To Do If You Have A Samsung Galaxy Note 7 by olascojojo(op): 8:56am On Oct 12, 2016

Samsung and the Consumer Product Safety Commission formally recalled the Galaxy Note 7 for an overheating battery defect last month, and an exchange program was put into place for customers to get replacement versions.

However, after multiple reports of battery fires in the replacement Galaxy Note 7 devices, Samsung announced this week that it was stopping all sales and production of the model. The company says it is investigating the battery situation.

If you have a Galaxy Note 7 (either the original or replacement version), Samsung advises that you power down the device immediately. You should also contact the wireless carrier or retail store where you bought it for details about getting a full refund, or exchanging it for a Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 Edge model.

Those who bought a Galaxy Note 7 from Samsung’s website (or who want more information about the recall) should call the company at 1-844-365-6197 or visit www.samsung.com/us/note7recall.

SportsMourinho Pointed Finger At Cerra For Passing On The Wrong Infographics by olascojojo(op): 10:04am On Sep 30, 2016

Jose Mourinho took his anger out on Manchester United coach Giovanni Cerra and his tactics book on Thursday after Paul Pogba was handed incorrect instructions.

The Manchester United manager laid into Cerra for getting the opposition line-up wrong and strode over to his assistant in the dug-out before slamming shut his laptop.

A furious Mourinho said after United's 1-0 Europa League win over Ukrainian minnows Zorya Luhansk: “It was set pieces, organisation, they changed their team before the game.

“Paul Pogba was a bit confused with the changes and obviously I want my assistants to take care of all the details."

South African Prophet Penuel Mnguni of the End Time Disciples Ministries in Soshanguv is in the news again for making his congregation eat carpet as food.

The church in a Facebook post wrote:


“For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power”
“As the man of God Prophet Penuel continued demonstrating the power of God. He commanded the carpet he was standing on to be food, whatever God declares clean is clean and what was supposed to kill will give life because of the word spoken upon it.
He started by eating it himself and then fed the congregation, those who were sick were healed and some received their breakthroughs as God can use anything.
To God Be The Glory”

Foreign AffairsPhotos:india’s Army Makes Candidates Strip To Foil Cheating by olascojojo(op): 6:27pm On Mar 01, 2016
Bihar – India’s army made candidates at a recruitment day in Bihar take a written exam in their underwear to prevent them from cheating, reports said Tuesday, after a spate of exam scandals in the eastern state.

Images in the Indian Express showed dozens of men sitting cross-legged in a field clad only in underpants, with many resting their test papers on their thighs, while a uniformed supervisor stood guard.

The paper quoted an army source as saying they took the radical step to “save time on frisking so many people” after more than 1,000 candidates turned up.

“We had no option but to comply with the instructions even though it felt odd,” one would-be recruit told the paper.

An army spokesman in New Delhi refused to comment on the report, which came a year after police in Bihar said they had arrested around 1,000 aspiring officers for paying people to sit their exams for them.

The High Court in the Bihar capital Patna on Tuesday asked the defence ministry for an explanation of the unusual move, after a lawyer filed a petition against the army.

Cheating — using methods ranging from old-fashioned crib sheets to high-tech spy cameras — is common in India, mostly to secure good school grades and highly-sought government jobs.

The impoverished state of Bihar, also one of the most populous, is especially notorious.

Last year a scandal in the state that saw relatives scale the walls of a school exam centre to pass notes to candidates went viral and made national headlines.

In the western state of Gujarat, authorities on Sunday blocked mobile phone Internet services in a string of cities and towns where entrance exams were taking place for public service jobs, to stamp out cheating.
