The DASH Diet Weight Loss Solution was chosen as one of top new diet plans of 2013 by The Today Show, while The DASH Diet Action Plan was named one of the top life-changing health books, by Huffington Post readers. See more recent news stories about the DASH diet. Meet the author and learn more about the weight loss plan by watching our Dr. Oz episode, the PBS show, or join one of our free support groups for weight loss or for the mostly vegetarian plan, or our new group for the Med-DASH plan on Facebook!
“Unlike many popular diets, there’s really not a huge focus on eliminating starches,” Srinath says. “What most studies have found is that dieting is really about sustainability—so the people who lose the most weight are those who are able to maintain a diet and keep up with it," she says. "A big issue with a lot of the low-carb diets out there is that it’s really, really hard to limit carbs completely. That’s why I think DASH is more palatable to people." Yaaas, carbs!
At the conclusion of the intervention, both groups had improved in all metrics but “these changes were more significant in subjects who were on the LCKD as compared with those on the LCD.” . As a result, the researchers supported the study outlined above and concluded that their “…study shows the beneficial effects of a ketogenic diet over the conventional LCD in obese diabetic subjects.”
In the first week, many people report headaches, mental fogginess, dizziness, and aggravation. Most of the time, this is the result of your electrolytes being flushed out, as ketosis has a diuretic effect. Make sure you drink plenty of water and keep your sodium intake up.6One of the fathers of keto, Dr. Phinney, shows that electrolyte levels (especially sodium) can become unbalanced with low carb intake.
Though the ketogenic diet is quite safe and even beneficial for diabetics, there is sometimes a chance a patient can develop diabetic ketoacidosis. Anytime you change your body’s primary energy source from carbohydrates to fat, your blood becomes flush with those ketones we talked about. And, anytime there are too many ketones, there is a potential risk for developing ketoacidosis. However, this is most likely to occur in those with type 1 diabetes. It can still happen in individuals with type 2 diabetes, although is it quite rare.
Infants and patients fed via a gastrostomy tube can also be given a ketogenic diet. Parents make up a prescribed powdered formula, such as KetoCal, into a liquid feed. Gastrostomy feeding avoids any issues with palatability, and bottle-fed infants readily accept the ketogenic formula. Some studies have found this liquid feed to be more efficacious and associated with lower total cholesterol than a solid ketogenic diet. KetoCal is a nutritionally complete food containing milk protein and is supplemented with amino acids, fat, carbohydrate, vitamins, minerals and trace elements. It is used to administer the 4:1 ratio classic ketogenic diet in children over one year. The formula is available in both 3:1 and 4:1 ratios, either unflavoured or in an artificially sweetened vanilla flavour and is suitable for tube or oral feeding. Other formula products include KetoVolve and Ketonia. Alternatively, a liquid ketogenic diet may be produced by combining Ross Carbohydrate Free soy formula with Microlipid and Polycose.
I agree!! I too..have /had Diabetes II..at age 66 and retired RN, we were taught for so long the WRONG way to eat and I taught that way, the high carb, grains, etc, way to eat. KETO saved me. Dropped my A1C and I feel great. The author of this page is wrong when saying 5-10 percent of our diet, carb eating, should be root veggies like ‘carrots”…so wrong. For goodness sakes, get KETO right by educating yourself, Tammy Shiflet~ Horribly wrong! There are so many studies and physicians, brain scientists, etc out here who understand what this diet is about. Read, and educate yourself….Please! Diabetes is a symptom of the Government’s education mistakes. Sugar, Wheat, Grains…horrible for us. Get with it, we live in 2018 and the information is out there; if you need a list, just ask.
I’ve been doing low-carb-high-fat (LCHF) for more than nine years. I’m not diabetic and never was so far as I know, nor was I particularly overweight. I simply became convinced over time that this way of eating is the best way to limit the damage which can be done by a lifetime of exposure to the standard American high-carb, starchy, sugary diet. I love my fatty meat, egg yolks, butter, sour cream, and more. I suppose I am fortunate I never had “carb-cravings”.
Financial disclosures: There were no conflicts of interest reported except for Dr Bernstein who has received royalties for books on the management of diabetes (which were used by members of the online social media group surveyed in this study). Dr. Hallberg who holds stock options and receives research support from Virta Health, and consulting fees from Atkins. Dr. Rhodes is the site principal investigator in clinical trials for pediatric type 2 diabetes that are sponsored by Merck and AstraZeneca. Dr. Westman has an ownership interest in companies using low-carbohydrate principles, and he receives royalties for books related to low-carbohydrate diets. Dr. Ludwig has received royalties from books on nutrition and obesity; and Dr. Galati is author of Eating Yourself Sick: How to stop obesity, fatty liver, and diabetes from killing you and your family (2018).
You have about 160,000 Kcals of fat available to burn – producing your own glucose in the process when needed (for anaerobic bursts). In contrast you only store around 400 to 500 Kcals of glucose/glycogen ready for use so if you are not adapted to burning fat then you are physically dependent and addicted to eating carbs. When you hear of a runner “hitting the wall” it’s only because of their unnatural carb addiction – an efficient fat burning athlete can run all day and will never have this problem. The human body is specifically designed to run long distance and can outrun almost every other animal on this planet – we can even run though intense heat because we sweat.
There are many physiological reasons for eating enough carbohydrates throughout the waking hours to maintain a steady blood glucose level…a couple of important reasons are to minimize the hepatic release of glucose (from the liver) and to help prevent hypoglycemia which can be very dangerous and lead to hypoglycemic unawareness over a short period of time. Each person is different of course..if you aren’t taking insulin, or pills that lower your blood glucose levels, you may not have to worry about low blood sugars. The reality is, most people with diabetes do; it can be very dangerous for some to not get enough carbohydrates at each meal.
If you’re science oriented, you can also try his 2008 book “Good Calories, Bad Calories”. For a more journalistic view on the events that led to fat phobia starting in the 1950’s (as well as the joke that is the Mediterranean Diet), there is also Nina Teicholz’s 2014 book “The Big Fat Surprise.” Be sure to check out youtube for some of these folks’ lectures and discussions. They are not advocating whacky stuff.
1- Eliminate fast foods. For many of us living in America, this is one of the tougher adjustments and may take some time. To start with, try swapping a fast-food meal with a homemade one. For example, if it’s chicken wings you crave, make them Greek-style like in this recipe! Or if it’s sweet potato fries (my personal guilty pleasure), try baking them in olive oil with a sprinkle of Mediterranean spices like in this recipe. And So on!
She recommends eating outdoors, using our lunch hour to incorporate a half-hour walk with a friend, turning off electronics at meals, and stepping outside for walk after meals. I have to tell you, I felt like I was 12 when we put the “no electronics” rule back into play at my home. Dessert used to be my thing after dinner, now it’s taking a walk around the neighborhood with my son or girlfriend.
Calcium and vitamin C team up well to boost metabolism, and broccoli is just one of several healthy foods that contain both nutrients. What sets broccoli apart from the others, however, is that the green veggie also contains kind of fiber that’s been shown to increase the digestion, absorption and storage of food, also known as the thermic effect of food or TEF. A revved up metabolism combined with an increased TEF is a match made in weight loss heaven!
From celebrity-endorsed to science-backed, finding the best diet for your body and lifestyle can be an exercise in frustration—definitely not the kind of exercise you need right now! To make your search easier, we've pulled together the 10 most popular diets based on which ones have consistently ranked highest on the annual U.S. News & World Report rankings, WebMD, and other current diet lists. Just know this: It's not about finding out which diet is the most popular overall but which one fits your goals and lifestyle the best. After all, the best diet for you is the one you can stick with (and enjoy)!
Using the Bulletproof Diet, including Brain Octane Oil every day for long periods of time, and eating carbohydrates some of the time but not always, avoiding inflammatory foods, and using Bulletproof Intermittent Fasting, I was able to recently test with perfect insulin sensitivity — I scored a one on a scale of 1 to 120 (see my numbers below). I also had above average glucose tolerance. That’s metabolic flexibility by the numbers!
It seems like everyone is talking about the keto diet — the high-fat, low-carb eating plan that promises to turn your body into a fat-burning machine. For that reason, keto has surged in popularity over the past year as a lose-weight-fast strategy. Thank Hollywood A-listers and professional athletes like Halle Berry, Adriana Lima, and Tim Tebow who’ve publicly touted the diet’s benefits, from shedding weight to slowing down aging. Here’s everything you need to know about going keto.
What the diet advocate says: ‘We are committed to always being the best weight management program on the planet, but now we’re putting our decades of knowledge and expertise in behavioral science to work for an even greater mission,’ says Mindy Grossman, President and Chief Executive Officer, WW. ‘We are becoming the world’s partner in wellness. No matter what your goal is – to lose weight, eat healthier, move more, develop a positive mind-set, or all of the above – we will deliver science-based solutions that fit into people’s lives.’
The DASH Diet Weight Loss Solution is a complete plan, with 28 days of meal plans, over 45 recipes, and the complete lifestyle plan to lose weight, lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol and triglycerides, and become healthier! Don't be fooled. This is the only book to present this completely new version of DASH, which turbocharges weight loss. Now, the essential companion, The Everyday DASH Diet Cookbook complements this weight loss book.
“During physiological ketosis ketonemia reaches maximum levels of 7/8 mmol/L with no change in pH while in uncontrolled diabetic ketoacidosis it can exceed 20 mmol/L with a concomitant lowering of blood pH. Blood levels of ketone bodies in healthy people do not exceed 8 mmol/L precisely because the central nervous system (CNS) efficiently uses these molecules for energy in place of glucose,” researchers summarize.
Wondering what fits into a keto diet — and what doesn’t? “It’s so important to know what foods you’ll be eating before you start, and how to incorporate more fats into your diet,” says Kristen Mancinelli, RD, author of The Ketogenic Diet: A Scientifically Proven Approach to Fast, Healthy Weight Loss, who is based in New York City. We asked her for some guidelines.

Stream Madlib and Four Tet's New Album 'Sound Ancestors'
Sound Ancestors is arranged, edited, and mastered, by Four Tet.
The wait for Madlib and Four Tet's first official collaborative project is over. Sounds Ancestors has landed.
Clocking in at 16 tracks, the album is a proper showcase of the producer's expansive crates, pulling from a broad set of source material including spiritual jazz, funk-fueled afro-beat, psyche rock, and slinky limited-run soul. The album was announced in mid-December with the release of the lead single, "Road of The Lonely Ones," which stitches together a pair of songs by Philly soul outfit, The Ethics. And in the weeks since, two more singles, "Hopprock" and "Dirtknock," have arrived.
The premise for Sound Ancestors is a simple one: Four Tet culls hundreds of beats and sketches sent to him by Madlib, editing and arranging them into a fluid solo-ish album from The Beat Konducta. The UK producer also mastered the album. Four Tet previously remixed a handful of tracks from Madvillainy, releasing a short EP of his edits via Stones Throw in 2005. In a profile on the project from The New York Times, Madlib announced Sound Ancestors was only the beginning of his 2021 slate, intending to release an album-per month on his Madlib Invazion imprint. Other projects have yet to be announced.
Sound Ancestors was initially offered in a range of limited edition colored vinyl packages via Rappcats, including a standard black wax edition. But those went quick and are currently sold out. However, the standard edition is currently available to pre-order via Okayplayer's Shop. Orders are expected to begin shipping out at the beginning on March 5th, 2021. Reserve your copy today.
Stream Madlib and Four Tet's new album, Sound Ancestors, below and hold tight for updates on the remaining docket of Madlib releases in the weeks and months ahead.

The origination of the diagnosis “post-traumatic stress disorder” (PTSD) is discussed in relation to its historical and diagnostic aspects. The different criteria for PTSD are analyzed in accordance with the ICD-10 and DSM (from DSM-III to DSM-IV-TR) systems. Attention is drawn to the diagnostic concept “acute stress disorder” (ASD) and its place in the dynamics of PTSD: ASD, acute PTSD, chronic PTSD. Supporting the view that PTSD exists as an individual nosological entity, the authors note significant differences in the clinical analysis of the psychopathological phenomena making up PTSD by different authors.

I’ve been thinking a lot about light and dark lately, only partially because of a recent film noir marathon I undertook. In this post I’m going to discuss light and shadow contrasts, and other delicacies, in Alfred Hitchcock’s brilliant film adaptation of du Marier’s novel, “Rebecca”. As a testament to the film’s greatness, it won the Oscar for both Best Picture and Best Cinematography (black & white). Should mention the year, 1940, and that it was Hitchcock’s first American film. Here is a slew of pretty loose prose I patched together watching it last night:
Tall castle rooms with fireplaces you can walk into without bending over. Light on wooden walls, from unseen windows with iron work, casting cross hatch shadows. A fire burning supernaturally bright against the blackest iron hearthstone.
Everyone in light colors, then Mrs. Danvers walks in, a dark hand. Covered in a long-sleeved black dress to the floor like a second skin, the dark hair coiled across her head, the calm judgmental looking over. Set that against the loose white coat Joan Fontaine wears down on the beach where Rebecca died. It flaps wildly around her, everything is loose, about to break open. The creepy old man in the haunted stone cottage on the beach; the new Mrs. DeWinter picks up a rope from a dark room covered in cobwebs, slips sideways past the crazy old sailor hat man.
There is a severity of wool collars on everyone’s coats, straight lines leading up to a fixed jaw. Joan Fontaine’s black evening gown, a sash of white roses across her breast, saving her from being all black, like Mrs. Danvers. Mrs. Danvers like a gothic statue carved from petrified wood. She is especially dark, a negative force moving through, sucking up the light. Looking pointy and vampirish, spreading shadows across the sun.
And then, Mrs. DeWinter running through the halls in a dress like a china bell, so fragile and wide. Hitchcock was a master of subtlety, extending a character into a dress, a cigarette holder, a glove and an eyebrow. Laurence Olivier is an Englishman gentleman unraveling in a fine wool coat. Wearing it light, wearing it heavy.
That’s it, that’s all the messy prose I got down before the movie ended; there’s much more to write on such a cinematic triumph, but I got so sucked in by the sets and gestures I couldn’t get my thoughts down very well. Please feel free to add your own thoughts on “Rebecca,” or any other old movie that still reverberates for you, whether visually, narratively, culturally, or…oh, any way you like, there are so many ways to watch good black and white films.

Move comes as London faces a severe lockdown over concerns of a new variant of the coronavirus
Suspension in effect for at least three days and covers all commercial and private flights
A fresh jolt rattled the country’s shaky aviation market Sunday as the federal government barred all flights from the United Kingdom to Canada for 72 hours. The move came in response to what British authorities called the discover of a fast-spreading variant of the COVID-19 virus.
“Our Government is committed to keeping Canadians and the transportation system safe and secure,” said Transport Minister Marc Garneau in a statement. “The notice we issued today, temporarily prohibiting flights to Canada from the United Kingdom, will reduce the public health risks to Canadians.”
The move came after an emergency meeting to discuss the new variant. The Netherlands, Belgium, and Italy were among a host of European countries imposing similar bans on flights from Britain.
The government said the ban would give it time to review the research on this new variant. It covers all commercial and private flights to Canada from the United Kingdom until Wednesday midnight.
Four flights arrived in Canada from the London area Sunday, according to data from Flight Aware.
Anyone who arrived Sunday from the U.K. faced additional screening and scrutiny of their quarantine plans. With the exception of some people arriving in Alberta, anyone arriving in Canada from overseas must quarantine for 14 days. People arriving in Calgary and staying in Alberta can choose a COVID test on arrival. If their test comes back negative, those people are exempt from quarantine in as little as two days. They must submit to a second test a few days later.
It’s another sign of just how tenuous the recovery can be from the ravages of the pandemic.
Air Canada, Westjet, and British Airways have been offering limited service between Canada and the United Kingdom.
“We are operating a reduced and dynamic schedule,” BA said in a Twitter post. “If your flight is cancelled, we will contact you, but please check the status of your flight before travelling to the airport.”
The Public Health Agency of Canada said it has not detected cases of the new variant in Canada. The agency said experts expected the virus to mutate. While the new strain seems to be more transmissible, to date, health officials say it does not seem to be more severe or react differently to antibodies or vaccines. However, health officials need more time to study the situation.
“It is essential to the health and safety of all Canadians that we continue to quickly adapt our border measures to respond to the evolving COVID-19 situation,” said Public Safety Minister Bill Blair. “The Canada Border Services Agency officers remain vigilant and are ready to implement these enhanced border measures to protect Canadians.”
Aerial images of London Monday morning showed deserted streets as the metropolis entered a severe lockdown. The British capital entered what the government called tier four restrictions. They essentially require everyone to stay at home with few exceptions.
“Residents in those areas must stay at home, apart from limited exemptions set out in law,” said British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. “People must work from home if they can, but may travel to work if this is not possible, for example in the construction and manufacturing sectors. People should not enter or leave tier 4 areas, and tier 4 residents must not stay overnight away from home.”
Londoners are not permitted to travel abroad, with limited exceptions.
While non-stop flights from the United Kingdom to Canada are cancelled for the first part of the week, it was not immediately clear how long the ban might last.
“We do not have any information about the date of resumption of the flights between the UK and Canada,” said Air Canada in response to a passenger inquiry. “The flight on Wednesday will be cancelled.”
It was also not clear how the ban might affect passengers connecting through the United States. One Twitter user reported that his mother’s non-stop from London to Vancouver was cancelled Monday. Air Canada instead rebooked her on a connecting flight through San Francisco.
The airline said it would look into the matter.

Backpacks ready for 1,500 students in need; 200 on waiting list
Volunteers got their hands busy filling nearly 1,500 backpacks Tuesday with school supplies for children in need — but organizers behind the program hope to get additional packs and supplies for 200 children who remain on a waiting list.
The 1,440 packs were assembled at Westgate Shopping Centre by dozens of employees from Bell Canada, Giant Tiger, the Fund for a New Generation charity, and individual volunteers.
“It’s an amazing feeling to be able to help, but it also breaks our hearts when we see there’s still a waiting list,” said Cindy Smith of the Caring and Sharing Exchange, the charity that each year distributes packs with grade-appropriate supplies.
“Going back to school is hard to begin with, but not being on a level playing field with the other kids can make it harder and lead to self-esteem and other issues,” Smith explained.
Eleven-year-old volunteer Jenna Newell said she was happy to help out her peers and encouraged people to donate.
“I like helping people. I think kids who can’t afford it will be very excited to get these backpacks. They’re filled with very cool stuff,” Jenna said.
Organizers say each filled pack is valued at about $40.
The waiting list was trimmed to 200 from 500 after an appeal for donations a week ago, but Smith said they’re still hoping to close the gap before school starts.

How to render private GP’s ineffective! Make them work in an already dysfunctional system.
In contrast, the Direct Democracy Forum envisions a system which allows patients of public health systems, be they NHI patients or whatever, to be attended by private practitioners and institutions at their normal rooms, clinics or hospitals. That way a lot of pressure will be removed from otherwise overstressed public health institutions and access to medical care will become much easier for public health patients.
That being said, it will also encourage the public health system to improve its service delivery, which it will need to do because it would effectively be competing with private sector health services for patients. This is exactly what the DDF would like to see happen, with only effective institutions surviving. See DDF Health Policies.
The buck stops at the ballot box.

In a world without stigma, more people would feel comfortable talking about their mental health, and therefore would be able to seek help if they needed it, but how do we put an end to stigma? You have the power to help in your everyday life!
Things you can do:
- Educate yourself;
- Talk about what you learn with your friends;
- Watch out for your friends, ask the important questions, and make sure they know that they can talk to you;
- Share your own story if you feel comfortable.
Language matters: What we say and how we say it can be very powerful, especially when it comes to sensitive topics such as mental health, mental illness, and suicide. To be sure that we are not unintentionally hurting those around us, here are some important (but simple) rules to follow:
Avoid derogatory language like “crazy” or “psycho” especially when talking about someone with a diagnosed mental illness (or anyone for that matter). Those types of words can be extremely hurtful to those experiencing a mental illness or concern.
Be specific! When speaking about someone who has a diagnosed mental illness or a mental health concern. Instead of saying “she is mentally ill,” you could say “she has been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder.” That sounds better, doesn’t it?
Avoid using mental illnesses as adjectives, especially describing actions or situations that do not involve a diagnosed mental illness. For example instead of saying “I am so OCD” to describe a love for organization, you could say “I just really love when things are in the proper place.”
Don’t joke about suicide! It is no joking matter, but we see people laughing about the topic a lot in pop culture. Joking about suicide can increase feelings of embarrassment and shame for those who are struggling, and it may prevent them from seeking help. Instead, talk about suicide in a respectful way. The more we learn and talk about suicide, the closer we are to ending the stigma, and the safer people will feel to get help when they need it.

Rot of Ages
On Nov. 28, I wrapped eight lumps of raw barley dough in fig leaves and put them in loosely lidded plastic containers. Forty days later, I mixed the now-rotted barley with flour, salt and water and set the result in a warm spot to rot for two months more. Then I ate some.
I was just following the medieval Arab recipes for a sauce called murri. Really. Rot some barley, then rot it some more; that’s what they tell you to do. You could also mix the rotted barley with milk instead of water and make a sort of relish called ka^makh.
I’d made my first batch of rotted barley about 10 years earlier. At the time, I asked a medical researcher whether there might be anything dangerous in these rotted barley condiments, and he warned me that they were probably infected with the common mold Aspergillus flavus, which produces dangerous carcinogens called aflatoxins. So after tasting the result of that first experiment, I washed my mouth out about 70 times.
The sauce I got at the time was pleasant but not exactly exciting. It didn’t seem so attractive that I could imagine cooks going to all the trouble to make it, much less overlooking the rather ghastly process by which it’s made. I wasn’t at all sure I’d got it right.
So last year I decided to try another batch of murri. This time, I sent the results of my rotting to a laboratory to find out whether there was indeed anything dangerous in it (see “OK, It’s Rotted . . .,” below).
Regular Food section readers have already met my eight lumps of barley dough, which I was rotting in three batches according to the slightly contradictory recipes I’d found in medieval manuscripts. We did the first stage of rotting in the Times Test Kitchen--very far from the food preparation area, you may be sure.
The first of the three batches consisted of five lumps of dough crowded in a single box. In these rather moist conditions, the barley rotted vigorously. After three days, the lumps had greenish spots and were covered with a cloud of translucent threads, indicating that molds of the genus aspergillus had taken up living quarters. We nicknamed these lumps Spot, Whiskers, Einstein, Skinhead and Johnny Rotten, and after 40 days they were mottled all over in black, white, charcoal and about four shades of green.
The second batch was rotted in drier circumstances, only two lumps to the box. Kate Moss and Captain Picard, as we called them, developed a greenish tinge and a few tiny white patches but no cloud of threads.
Finally, one lump was rotted under ashes, as a 10th century recipe suggests. This guy, Pig Pen, also rotted only slightly.
After 40 days, I ground the lumps up and made each batch into a paste with flour, water and salt. The recipes say to rot the paste on your rooftop in the middle of summer, so I put the three batches on a heating pad on the low setting, which kept the mixtures at about 95 degrees. I stirred and moistened them all daily for 40 days. Finally, I added more water and waited another 10 days before extracting a liquid sauce.
Here’s what we got.
Kate Moss, Captain Picard and Pig Pen turned pinkish tan (Pig Pen with an ash-gray tinge). The unappealing “liquid” sauce I got from those batches was like salty glue with a sickly-sweet aroma. By contrast, the totally rotten batch (Spot, Whiskers et al.), which started out green, quickly turned a deep mahogany brown. At first it smelled like rotting leaves or a damp basement, but within 10 days it smelled distinctly like . . .
Yes, soy sauce. The sauce extracted from it had a comparatively earthy (some said muddy) texture and flavor, but there was no doubt about it: Murri was a medieval Mediterranean soy sauce.
Big surprise; I had always assumed that soy sauce had to be made from beans. But the usual Japanese soy sauce recipe is 50% wheat, and it turns out that oats, millet, rye and even barley are sometimes added in China and Korea. In fact, there’s no reason you have to use any beans at all. All you need is proteins and carbohydrates, which are also found in grain.
The process is basically the same whether you’re making soy sauce or murri. In the first stage, the moist dough or soybeans become infected with molds, which can grow where conditions are too dry for yeasts or bacteria. The molds break down starches to sugars and proteins to amino acids.
In the next stage, water and salt are added. Now yeasts and bacteria take over--not just any yeasts and bacteria, of course, only those that can live in a fairly salty environment (soy sauce is 18% salt; the murri paste is 25% salt by weight before water is added).
At this point, a lot of chemical reactions start. Some carbohydrates are turned into acids, including glutamic acid, which is related to MSG. The yeasts produce alcohol; it combines with the various acids to make the aromatic compounds called esters. The result is the sweet, appetizing soy sauce flavor. The longer it ages, the stronger the flavor.
There are a couple of differences. Soy sauce is more flavorful than murri because it’s made from beans, which contain more proteins than grain, and it’s aged longer: in Japan, a minimum of 18 months. And in East Asia, a “starter” of rotted rice is added to the soybeans, rather than just setting out what you plan to rot and letting any old molds move in. In Japan, the making of this starter (koji) is a highly technical activity done in laboratory conditions.
On the other hand, many households in East Asia still make their own soy sauce using wild molds. Often people wrap the rice for the starter with leaves of certain plants, which are likely to have mold spores on them: reeds in China, rice straw in Korea, banana leaves in Vietnam, hibiscus leaves in Indonesia. Fig leaves evidently served the same function in the Arab recipes.
Soy sauce and murri apparently evolved from brine sauces. Everybody knows about the East Asian fish sauces known as nuoc mam or nam pla, and it’s also common knowledge that the Greeks and Romans loved a fish sauce called garum. All these sauces were merely the brine from pickled fish.
In ancient China, brine sauce (jiang) was made from meat as well as from fish (imagine using the pickling juices of ham or corned beef as a sauce). A “starter” (qu) of moldy rice was regularly added to the brine to give more flavor.
By about 2,100 years ago, the Chinese were making a soybean sauce. Or paste, rather, because they didn’t start pressing the rotted soybeans to extract a free-flowing liquid sauce until about 450 years ago. The idea of pickling beans might not have occurred to a Westerner, but the Chinese were already pickling fruits and vegetables in brine. Anyway, they had a long tradition of culturing soybeans with mold; Chinese black beans start out as yellow soybeans.
The medieval Arab sauce must have arisen from the Mediterranean fish sauce. The word al-murri (which the Arab dictionaries say was often pronounced with one “r”: al-muri) may come from the Greek word halmuris, which just meant “a salty thing.” Salmuria, the Latin word for pickling brine, comes from the same Greek word. How rotted barley entered the picture is a little mysterious, but it seems to be a Persian contribution. The Arab word for rotted barley (bu^dhaj) comes from Persian, as does the name of the paste (bunn) from which murri is extracted.
If the Mediterranean and East Asian sauces were unrelated, they were certainly used the same way, to provide a salty, aromatic flavoring to cooked dishes. In Spain and North Africa, every banquet had to include a dish called “the dish of murri” (laun al-murri), which seems the equivalent of the Chinese stews known as red-cooked meat.
So the mystery of what murri was seems to be solved. But it raises another mystery: Why did murri die out? Apparently it hasn’t been made for 400 or 500 years. Some people had always found its color dark and unpleasant, but that shouldn’t have mattered much if the flavor was liked. Maybe tastes just changed--the ancient Greek fish sauce was also dying out at the same time.
And maybe the story might have been different if Mediterranean cooks had started making those richer sauces that result from beans. We might be eating soy-seasoned falafel today.

We met with Professor Peter Rayner from the University of Melbourne, an atmospheric chemist interested in the carbon cycle at the global scale, Dr Nicholas Deutscher a DECRA fellow in the Centre for Atmospheric Chemistry at UOW and Dr Phil DeCola, Chief Science Officer, Sigma Space Corporation. The atmospheric Scientists are measuring carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from space. The satellites they use like the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2) can also pick up signals for solar induced fluoresence (SIF) a signal emitted from chlorophyll in leaves. We are measuring SIF and active fluoresence using our LIFT instrument and trying to understand how the signals are related at the leaf level. So we are basically trying to answer the same question at different levels with the aim of scaling from one to another. The LIFT measures leaf level (centimeter scale) the satellites canopy level with meter resolution. the challenge is the bridge the gap between these scales. The other connections are with scientific colleagues from around the world who we all work with in different capacities. Dr Joe Berry from the Carnegie Institution being an obvious example. It was great to start making those connections and hopefully start to bridge the gap.

It is well known that Earth is unique among the rocky planets in our solar system because of the vast oceans of liquid water on its surface.
Exactly how all this water ended up on Earth is more of a mystery, although scientists have recently ruled out molten meteorites as a source.
Now data from NASA’s James Webb telescope reveal for the first time that water vapor is present around a comet in our solar system’s main belt — the rocky ring between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
The comet, called 238P/Read, has a water vapor cloud around it known as a “coma,” due to ice melting as it gets closer to the sun in its orbit.
The presence of water in a comet this close to Earth is unprecedented and supports the theory that water was carried to Earth by comets early in our planet’s history.
Astronomers have confirmed gas – specifically water vapor – around a comet in the asteroid belt for the first time. This artist’s impression of the comet, called Comet 238P/Read, shows it sublimating — its water ice evaporating as it orbits near the sun. This sublimation distinguishes comets from asteroids by creating their distinctive tail and hazy halo or coma.
238P/Read is located in the asteroid belt – the ring-shaped region in the solar system, located between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars. This is unusual, since most of the orbits are in the Kuiper Belt and the even more distant Oort Cloud
The discovery is described in a new study led by NASA and researchers at the University of Maryland, published in the journal Nature.
Comet Read: basic facts
Official name: 238P/Read
discovers: October 24, 2005
Place: Main belt
Orbital Duration: 5.64 years
Distance to the sun: 2.37 AU (min), 3.96 AU (max)
The study confirms for the first time the presence of water vapor around a comet in the main belt — and suggests that water ice must exist in 238P/Read’s interior, which vaporizes as it hurtles through space.
“Our water-soaked world, teeming with life and unique in the universe as far as we know, is something of a mystery — we’re not sure how all this water got here,” said study author Stefanie Milam of the Goddard Space Flight Center. from NASA. .
“Understanding the history of water distribution in the solar system will help us understand other planetary systems, and whether they are on track to host an Earth-like planet.”
Comets are made of ice, dust and rocky material and differ from asteroids, which are made of metallic and rocky material.
When a comet gets close to the sun, its ice and dust content begins to evaporate (known as sublimation), giving it a distinctive tail and a hazy or cloudy halo, known as a coma.
Asteroids, meanwhile, don’t do this because of their lack of ice.
The researchers studied data from Webb’s NIRSpec (Near-Infrared Spectrograph) instrument, which can measure the near-infrared spectrum of more than 100 objects at once.
The 238P/Read results showed “a clear peak” in the region of the spectrum associated with water, indicating that it is present around the comet.
This image shows new observations of 238P/Read by James Webb and observations of a Jupiter-family comet, 103P/Hartley 2, by NASA’s Deep Impact mission in 2010. Both show a clear peak in the region of the spectrum associated with becomes with water. It is the first time that a gas has been confirmed in such a comet in the main belt. However, unlike 103P/Hartley 2, comet 238P/Read did not show a hump indicating the presence of CO2
This image of comet 238P/Read was captured on September 8, 2022 by the NIRCam (Near-Infrared Camera) instrument on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. It shows the hazy halo, called the coma, and tail that are characteristic of comets, but not asteroids
While the observations “clearly show” that the comet has a coma of water vapor in its main belt, it has no detectable carbon dioxide (CO2), the team said.
This is an unusual finding, as CO2 typically makes up one-tenth of the volatile material in a comet, which is easily vaporized by the sun’s heat.
Possible explanations for this are that the comet had CO2 when it formed, but it was lost due to warm temperatures, or that it formed in a warm pocket of the solar system where CO2 was not available.
Comets mainly originate from two regions – the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud, both of which extend well beyond the main belt – beyond Neptune’s orbit.
The Kuiper Belt is 30 astronomical units (AU) to about 50 AU from the Sun, while the Oort Cloud is much further – between about 2,000 and 100,000 AU.
One AU — a unit of length equal to the average distance between the Earth and the Sun — is 93 million miles, so these are seriously big distances.
At some point, a star passing near the solar system may have disrupted the motions of comets in the Oort cloud, sending them into the solar system.
Asteroid belt comets are a fairly new classification, with the first main belt comet being discovered in 1996.
Before then, it was believed that comets were simply in the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud, but the fact that comets reach further into the solar system towards Earth supports all comet-based theories about why our oceans exist.
Scientists have long speculated that water ice could be preserved in the warmer asteroid belt, within Jupiter’s orbit, but definitive evidence was elusive – until Webb.
“In the past, we’ve seen objects in the main belt with all the characteristics of comets,” said Michael Kelley of the University of Maryland, lead author of the study.
“But only with this precise spectral data from Webb can we say yes, it is definitely water ice that creates that effect.”
The James Webb Space Telescope (pictured here in space) sees the universe in light invisible to human eyes
Theories have long suggested that water was supplied to Earth later in the history of the solar system, possibly via comets.
More recent research indicates that hydrogen in the Earth played a role in the formation of the oceans.
However, these two theories are not mutually exclusive, and a combination of the two could explain why such a large portion of the Earth’s surface – 71 percent – is made up of water.
“Earth formed 4.6 billion years ago and its surface was quite hot, too hot for water oceans,” study author Michael SP Kelley of the University of Maryland told MailOnline.
‘The oceans formed after the surface cooled, within a few hundred million years.
“A big question for planetary science was where did that water come from? Was it caused by the Earth’s interior and volcanic activity, or was it brought to the surface by impacts from comets and asteroids?
‘As an astronomer I work on measuring the water content of comets and asteroids as they exist today, 4.6 billion years after our solar system formed.
“Then we can work backwards to estimate how much these small objects could have brought to Earth.”
Explained: the difference between an asteroid, meteorite and other space rocks
A asteroid is a large chunk of rock left over from collisions or the early solar system. Most are located between Mars and Jupiter in the Main Belt.
a comet is a rock covered with ice, methane and other compounds. Their orbits take them much further out of the solar system.
a meteor is what astronomers call a flash of light in the atmosphere when debris burns.
This debris itself is known as a meteoroid. Most are so small that they evaporate into the atmosphere.
If one of these meteoroids reaches Earth, it will become one meteorite.
Meteors, meteoroids, and meteorites normally originate from asteroids and comets.
For example, if Earth passes through the tail of a comet, much of the debris in the atmosphere burns up and forms a meteor shower.

MUTV Launched in Japan
August 21, 2012
English Premier League (EPL) side Manchester United have formed a partnership with Fuji TV to launch Manchester United Television (MUTV) in Japan.
United’s commercial director Richard Arnold said: “MUTV is a must for any Manchester United fan, therapy offering up-to-date and exclusive news, interviews and archive footage.
“The dedicated channel has a reach of 60 million worldwide and the club is delighted to be partnering with Fuji TV, one of Japan’s major TV channels, to bring MUTV to Japan.
“This partnership further demonstrates Manchester United’s global reach and allows us to engage with the almost four million followers we have in Japan.”
MUTV is managed and produced by United and includes matches from the Barclays Premier League, FA Cup and UEFA Champions League. Fuji TV ONE, TWO and NEXT will broadcast all Reds matches in full from the kick-off to the final whistle.
Other than match action, Fuji TV also plans to broadcast pre-match preview shows and post-match interview specials, as well as documentaries on developments at Old Trafford and archive programmes as the club’s former stars look back on their playing days.
The deal comes on the back of manager Sir Alex Ferguson signing Japan international Shinji Kagawa in the summer transfer market.

1. SRK was not daunted by the idea of playing a midget because he doesn’t think he is so tall in the first place. Unlike some other stars/superstars who pretend to be much taller than they actually are, SRK is very content in his shoes. We recall how Shahid Kapoor would bubble over with froth when reminded how much tallerDeepika was to him in Padmaavat. Even the boxoffice agreed.
2. Katrina and Anushka Sharma, SRK’s two heroines in Zero are both taller than himeven without being vertically challenged as a character. SRK joked about his heroines’ heights right through the making of Zero.
3. Bauua Singh is SRK’s most challenging role , not because he is vertically challenged but because SRK had to project the incompleteness of the character without making him look like a victim. Those who have seen the film say SRK will finally win his first National award for Zero.
4. Contrary to popular belief SRK’s midget act is not inspired by Kamal Haasan in Appu Raja. Who started this rumour? Do two vertically challenged heroes have to be similar? Appu is as similar to Bauua as MukeshKhanna to Rajesh Khanna.
5. Anushka Sharma plays a space scientist with cerebral palsy. She apparently studied Daniel Day Lewis’ performance in My Left Foot and Eddy Redmayne in The Theory Of Everything.
6. Anushka was signed first. Katrina wanted to do Anushka’s character. But director Aanand Rai was very clear on the casting. He wanted someone tall and leggy and stunning to play the actress alcoholic actress Babita Kumarito create a stark physical contrast with the vertically challenged Hero, Er, Zero.
7. Katrina’s Babita Kumari is actually inspired Hema Malini in Vijay Anand’s Tere Mere Sapne. Remember Hema’s portrayal of the lonely actress?

Gluten intolerance is associated with increased mortality
In a large study, an increased mortality for a number of causes of death in individuals with celiac disease compared with healthy people it was found. Therefore, those who suffer from a gluten intolerance have a 20 percent higher risk of dying from cardiovascular disease, cancer, or respiratory diseases inherit.
Researchers from the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden and Columbia University in the USA showed that celiac disease (also called gluten-sensitive or gluten-induced enteropathy, intestinal infantilism, coeliac disease, Heubner-Herter disease) is associated with a significantly increased mortality. The results were recently presented in the prestigious journal “JAMA”.
50,000 of celiac cases are analysed
People with celiac disease have to die, according to a recent study, an increased risk of premature, although the awareness of the disease has increased in recent years, and access to gluten-free food has been improved. On the basis of regional data from the pathology departments of Sweden, which are linked with national health registers, the research team tested about 50,000 patients, and patients with celiac disease in connection with the risk of death.
Mortality increases in celiac disease by over 20 percent
In comparison to the control group, the total mortality was increased in the coeliac disease-Affected 21 percent. The relative increase in risk of Mortality in all age groups and is strongest among those in whom the disorder was diagnosed at the age of 18 to 39 years.
Celiac disease is often associated with long-term complications
“We know that celiac disease can cause a number of long-term complications that can affect the life expectancy, but this study examines a population at a time, in the awareness of celiac disease and the access to gluten-free food is widespread,” says Benjamin Lebwohl, the Director of Clinical research at the celiac disease center of Columbia University and first author of the study.
Long-term consequences of celiac disease
“However, we have found that celiac disease is associated with long-term consequences,” stresses good-bye. In comparison to the control group, the risk in coeliac disease-Affected was particularly high, to die of heart disease, cancer or a respiratory disease. In the first year after diagnosis, the risk was highest, but the increase in Risk persisted for ten years after diagnosis.
Inflammation seems to be responsible
“Celiac disease is characterized by inflammation, are in General bad for health,” adds Professor Jonas F. Ludvigsson, a pediatrician and corresponding author of the study. He finds the results of the analysis, therefore, is not surprising.
Why is the risk of death after diagnosis highest?
The fact that the risks were in the first year after diagnosis, at the highest, can, according to Ludvigsson several reasons. “The inflammation of the bowel is often most intense with the diagnosis around and before a gluten-free diet on the mucosal healing effect,” says the Professor. Another possible explanation is that the celiac disease is often discovered when the Affected goods from other reasons, very ill. (vb)

Method To Solubilize Biomass Under Mild Conditions
Inventors: John Ralph, Fachuang Lu
UW researchers have developed a simple and efficient method of dissolving biomass using concentrated sulfuric acid and cysteine. The standard method of Klason lignin determination involves dissolving biomass in sulfuric acid to get the lignin from the biomass into solution. In many instances, this method results in a cloudy solution as the biomass fails to dissolve completely or chemicals precipitate out of solution. This interferes with analysis of the lignin. The UW researchers attempted to use an additive that would promote dissolution of biomass into a clear solution. Surprisingly, they found they could add cysteine along with the concentrated sulfuric acid at room temperature, and the ground biomass dissolved completely into a clear solution. The solution can be diluted with water making it easy to use UV spectroscopy to determine the lignin concentration. The resulting dissolved biomass may be amenable to further processing to produce a variety of chemicals from the dissolved carbohydrates and the lignin in solution.
