Quick notes: Popular again, Utility-scale solar...

  • Dynasty is popular again, if you believe the bots: A close analysis of this tweet showed that these 'bots' with a Russian, Kazakh or Indonesian characteristic were routinely re-tweeting the Congress VP's tweets.


  • When did we become so dependent on China? The Chennai-Bangalore-Mysore high-speed-rail corridor lies in limbo because the Chinese railways has failed to respond to the ministry's communiques.. Blacklist the Hans!


  • Greening of South Rajasthan:  A combination of a scientific approach and ancient traditional practices have brought about a green cover in hundreds of villages across the region. 


  • Game changer for India’s solar sector: Country’s first utility-scale solar plant with battery energy storage coming up in the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. 


  • Madhu Kishwar: Taking the Sabarimala temple to court for restricting the entry of women of a certain age group is akin to meat-eaters suing vegetarian restaurants for discriminating against non-vegetarians by refusing to serve meat. Common sense response would be to say: “Go find a non-veg restaurant, of which there are plenty.” 


  • American Chefs Discover Mustard Oil: A study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2004 found that Indians who ate mustard oil had lower incidences of heart disease, possibly because of its alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid that is found in plants. Pure mustard oil sold in the United States must bear a warning: “For external use only.” after the Food and Drug Administration banned its sale as a foodstuff. “The potential hazards are based on animal studies, and to my knowledge we don’t have real evidence of harm to humans.”
