Just a reminder to please please please please please PLEASE, STUDY Napoleon. He is the culmination of studying Alexander, Hannibal, Caesar, Frederick and many more. He has inspired many great leaders since, and will continue to do so for many years to come.

You think you're just eating "cheese"? Think again. 90% of the American cheese on store shelves right now is made with a lab-engineered fake rennet called FPC — fermentation-produced chymosin. And it was originally developed and patented by Pfizer in 1990. Yeah, *that* Pfizer. Here's how they did it: They took the gene for chymosin (the key clotting enzyme from a calf's stomach), spliced it into Aspergillus Niger — black mold — using CRISPR gene-editing tech, then let the mold ferment in giant vats like some dystopian bio-reactor. The result? A synthetic enzyme that's cheaper, faster, and more consistent than the real thing. Big Food loved it. No more baby calves. No supply limits. Just endless, uniform cheese bricks rolling off the line. FDA called it "substantially equivalent" to real rennet and gave it GRAS status with zero long-term human safety studies — just a 90-day rat trial. Sound familiar? The worst part? This stuff isn't even listed properly. On ingredient labels it hides behind vague wording: - "enzymes" - "microbial enzymes" - "vegetarian rennet" - or just plain "rennet" And here's where it gets insidious: Plenty of people are getting bloating, digestive distress, skin issues, or straight-up allergic reactions after eating cheese... and they blame "dairy." But a growing number are realizing it's not the milk — it's the A. Niger residue or the GM process itself triggering the problem. Real animal rennet? That's the traditional calf-stomach enzyme our ancestors used for thousands of years. It works with your body. No hidden mold genes. Want the real stuff? How to actually avoid this garbage: - Look for labels that specifically say "animal rennet" or "calf rennet" - Skip anything that says "microbial," "vegetarian," or just "enzymes" - Buy European imports, artisanal, or raw-milk cheeses (they still use the old-school stuff) - Certified Organic or Non-GMO Project Verified is safer (many ban FPC outright) - Best move: find a local cheesemaker who tells you exactly what they use They turned one of the oldest, most nutrient-dense foods on earth into another ultra-processed Franken-food and hoped you'd never notice. Stop eating their science experiment. Your gut (and your ancestors) will thank you.

मेरे पिता ने 10 सालों तक मुझसे एक सूखी बंजर जमीन पर गड्ढे खुदवाए मुझे लगता था कि मेरा बाप दुनिया का सबसे जालिम इंसान है गाँव के सब बच्चे सुबह सोते या खेलते थे और मेरे पिता मुझे रोज सुबह 4 बजे उठाकर उस सूखी पहाड़ी जमीन पर फावड़ा चलाने भेज देते थे वो जमीन इतनी बंजर थी कि वहाँ एक घास का तिनका भी नहीं उग सकता था जब भी मैं थकता, वो मुझे बेरहमी से डांटते मैं रोता और मन ही मन उनसे नफरत करता लेकिन डर के मारे मिट्टी खोदता रहता इसी मजदूरी की वजह से मेरा शरीर लोहे जैसा हो गया और मेरी दिमागी सहनशक्ति इतनी बढ़ गई कि मैंने आर्मी का सबसे कठिन एग्जाम और फिजिकल टेस्ट पहले ही प्रयास में क्लियर कर लिया मैं एक बड़ा अफसर बन गया लेकिन मैंने अपने पिता की उस क्रूरता के लिए उन्हें कभी माफ नहीं किया और शहर चला गया फिर जिंदगी में एक ऐसा मोड़ आता है जिसमें मेरी सोच बदल दी पिता के गुजरने के बाद मैं गाँव आया गाँव के सरपंच ने मुझे एक डायरी और जमीन के कागज दिए उस बंजर जमीन का असली मालिक सरपंच था मेरे पिता की डायरी में लिखा था मेरे बेटे का दिमाग बहुत तेज है लेकिन वो बहुत जल्दी हार मान लेता है मैं एक गरीब आदमी हूँ, उसे शहर की कोई महंगी ट्रेनिंग नहीं दे सकता इसलिए मैं सरपंच को हर महीने अपनी आधी कमाई किराए के तौर पर देता था सिर्फ इसलिए ताकि वो मेरे बेटे को उस बंजर जमीन पर रोज सुबह मेहनत करने दे वो जमीन बंजर थी, लेकिन वहाँ फसल नहीं मेरा भविष्य उगाया जा रहा था क्या आपने कभी अपने पिता को गलत समझा है? इस पोस्ट को सेव कर लो… कभी ना कभी ये समझ आएगी जरूर

10k is nothing.. workers & maids should be paid at least 30k above if they work for 8-10 hours at the same place.

Иностранные гости из Японии и США а вы знали, что во всех странах бывшего СССР (15 стран) этот рулет-десерт очень популярен. Что вы об этом думаете?

Maids in Delhi NCR get paid really well. This I know from personal experience. I really don’t understand who is instigating this demographic. Whoever it is, is doing them a huge disservice. Soon housekeeping will be taken over by corporate houses, it already is, for fraction of headache and quarter of charges. Professionalism you get is an added bonus. Soon no one will hire maids like they were hired in the past and no prizes for guessing who will lose out.

I feel "euthanasia" is not the right English word in this context. Bcoz, Hippo doesn't want 'इच्छामृत्यु' (death by choice). appropriate word would be "culling". IndianExpress should hire better interns/editors.

Vietnam's doi moi reforms after 1986 turned one of the world's poorest countries into a manufacturing powerhouse through one simple mechanism: recognizing property rights. The Communist Party didn't abandon socialism in theory, but they unleashed capitalism in practice by letting farmers own their land and entrepreneurs keep their profits. The numbers tell the story Mises and Rothbard predicted. GDP per capita jumped from $231 in 1985 to over $4,000 today. Poverty rates collapsed from 70% to under 2%. Rice production doubled within a decade once farmers could sell their harvests at market prices instead of delivering quotas to state warehouses. When you own something, you take care of it. When the state owns everything, everyone starves. The transformation happened fastest in agriculture, where doi moi dissolved collective farms and returned land-use rights to individual families. Suddenly Vietnamese farmers started working 12-hour days instead of pretending to work for the collective. They invested in better seeds, irrigation, and equipment because they captured the returns. Production exploded because human action responds to incentives, not revolutionary slogans. Manufacturing followed the same pattern. Foreign companies flooded in once Vietnam allowed private ownership of factories and guaranteed profit repatriation. Nike, Samsung, and Intel didn't build plants in Vietnam because they loved Ho Chi Minh's ideology. They came because property rights meant they could actually own their investments and keep their earnings. The Party calls it "socialist-oriented market economy" to save face, but markets don't care about your labels—they care about whether you can own, buy, sell, and profit without bureaucrats stealing everything.

''डिलिमिटेशन जनगणना के बाद ही होना चाहिए, जैसा अब तक होता आया है। यह भी जरूरी है कि कोई भी डिलिमिटेशन, जिससे लोकसभा की सीटें बढ़ती हों, उसे गणितीय ही नहीं, बल्कि राजनीतिक रूप से भी निष्पक्ष होना चाहिए।'' - महिला आरक्षण और डिलिमिटेशन के मुद्दे पर 'The Hindu' में CPP चेयरपर्सन श्रीमती सोनिया गांधी जी के लेख का हिंदी अनुवाद
