In 1910, the scientific elite of the British Empire were obsessed with building massive, coal-chugging engines & destructive artillery. But in a quiet, dimly lit room in Calcutta, a towering Bengali polymath was weaponizing thermodynamics for a completely different kind of war: the fight against human starvation. Surrounded by heavy medical treatises, legal charts, & blueprints of steam pressure, he forged a strange, multi-tiered iron cylinder. He was not trying to conquer a nation; he was trying to feed 1. History would eventually reduce his revolutionary invention to a dusty kitchen utensil, erasing the mastermind who proved that a single spark of genius could save millions from the quiet horrors of disease & poverty. Born in 1869 into the aristocratic Mallick family of Guptipara (Hooghly), Indumadhab Mallick possessed a mind that refused to be contained by a single discipline. He did not just attend university; he conquered it. He secured a Master’s degree in Physics, followed by another Master’s degree in Botany. Restless for more knowledge, he pivoted to law, earning a B.L. degree to understand justice. Still unsatisfied, he entered the grueling world of medicine, emerging from the Medical College of Calcutta as a licensed physician with an M.D. He was a lawyer, a botanist, a physicist, a philosopher, & a doctor all at once. Yet, despite his staggering academic pedigree & the immense wealth he could have amassed in high society, Indumadhab’s heart remained anchored to the streets of Bengal, where poverty, famine, & deadly water-borne epidemics like typhoid & cholera were tearing families apart. As a doctor, Indumadhab realized that medicine was only a reactive cure; the true enemy was contaminated food & severe malnutrition caused by a lack of fuel. In the early 1900s, poor households & students could not afford enough coal/wood to boil food long enough to kill deadly pathogens. Combining his deep knowledge of physics, heat transfer, & biological sterilization, he invented the IC Mic-Cooker (The Indumadhab Cooker) in 1910. The Engineering Marvel: It was a masterpiece of thermodynamic efficiency. A compact, portable, multi-tiered steam cylinder made of brass/iron. You placed rice, dal, vegetables, & water into separate compartments, locked the airtight lid, & placed it over a tiny fraction of the fuel normally required for a single dish. 1ce ignited, the cooker required absolutely no monitoring/stir-frying/extra fuel. The steam circulated perfectly through the chambers, utilizing latent heat to cook a full, highly nutritious, 3 course meal simultaneously. Because it retained 100% of the food’s vital nutrients & completely sterilized it against cholera & typhoid germs, it became a sensation. It was embraced by the poor, by traveling students, & most famously, by India’s underground freedom fighters, who could cook highly nutritious meals in secret hideouts w/o generating telltale smoke that would alert the British police. Indumadhab Mallick was a pure, altruistic scientist who fiercely believed that scientific innovation belonged to the collective survival of humanity, not the bank accounts of corporations. He refused to heavily commercialize/aggressively patent the IC Cooker for personal luxury. He kept the production accessible so that even the poorest households could afford it. Because his groundbreaking work in heat dynamics took the shape of a domestic kitchen cooker rather than a complex, high-visibility laboratory machine, the British-led scientific establishment completely ignored its brilliant engineering. The academic elite looked down on it as a mere household trinket. Over the generations, the "IC Cooker" became a vintage heirloom found in the fading kitchens of old Bengali grandparents. But as the physical cookers rusted away, the name Indumadhab was completely detached from it. He passed away in 1917, & within decades, his legacy was so thoroughly buried that if you ask his living descendants today, they might recall a vague family story about an old kitchen pot, entirely unaware that their ancestor was a towering, multi-degreed polymath who altered the survival of colonial India. The grand laboratories of the world celebrate the inventors of steam engines that moved empires, but they forgot the man who tamed steam to save the starving. Dr. Indumadhab Mallick died w/o a single statue built in his honor, his memory fading into the steam of the very kitchens he revolutionized. He remains the ultimate ghost of science... leaving behind a legacy where his invention outlived his name, proving that the truest geniuses are not those who build monuments to their own vanity, but those who silently sustain the world from the shadows of an iron pan.

GoI should give up rights to $2 bn property to preserve "repository of sporting, services & cultural memories" for 14,000 elite members. This is Socialism with benefits, Lutyens style :)
K. C. Singh@ambkcsingh

Apropos Union Gov’s decision to destroy #DelhiGymkhanaClub my views: 1. I joined it in 1978/79 (applied in 1974). My father wasn’t a member. 2. Only all-India services & military officers got membership routinely. 3. The club, besides its other services, was famous for its tennis & squash facilities. Famous writer/journalist Khushwant Singh played tennis there till his 90s 4. The elected committees may’ve performed poorly, making gov nominate members. 5. As my old friend @thekiranbedi has opined Del Gym Club is a repository of sporting, services & cultural memories. Destroying it is untenable.

This is what happens when you choose to fly outdated junk instead of a modern helicopter because internal noise in the cockpit & cabin exceeds MIL-STD-1474D limit. FYI, the HAL LUH records an internal noise level of 105.6 dB, while the vintage Cheetah averages 92.4–101.5 dB during normal flight conditions and reaches in-flight peaks of 108.6 dB, also exceeding MIL-STD-1464D. Yet the Army seems to have no issue continuing to operate the Cheetah and risk life. indjaerospacemed.com/?view-pdf=1&em…

I'd be curious to know if this perspective on the legality of the Albanese government's changes to family trusts is correct. Its over 2/3 of the annual revenue the various tax changes will raise in 2029-30.
christopher joye@cjoye

From a reader... Dear Sir Under current legislation, all trusts (not just discretionary trusts) are taxed on accumulated income to which no beneficiary is presently entitled. Such income tax is assessed to the trustee under section 99A of the Income Tax Assessment Act, 1936 (“the Act”). The tax rate assessed to the trustee is at the highest marginal rate, plus Medicare. That imposition amounts to 47% of the accumulated income. The Commissioner retains a discretion to assess such income under section 99 of the Act, (which applies personal rates of taxation) but that discretion is exercised sparingly and only in limited cases, such as deceased estates and bankruptcies. Again, under current legislation, a share of trust income – to which a minor or a non-resident beneficiary is presently entitled to – is assessed to the trustee under section 98 of the Act and assessed again to the beneficiary with a full credit given to the beneficiary for the tax assessed to the trustee. The 2026 Federal Budget proposals change the concept of the taxation of beneficiaries of trust estates that has applied since the Federal Government introduced income tax. That is done by treating the trustee as a separate taxpayer on income to which beneficiaries of a discretionary trust are presently entitled to. Now, a beneficiary is said to be presently entitled only on the after-tax net income of a discretionary trust estate. Any credit for tax paid by the trustee, under these new proposals: is not fully credited to the beneficiary if it produces a cash tax refund to the beneficiary, and in the case of a corporate beneficiary the tax paid by the trustee is not credited at all. With all due respect to Treasury officials and the Treasurer, who devised this new arrangement, there is a complete misconception on who is being assessed on income to which a beneficiary is presently entitled to. Unlike companies, where the taxable income of a company is legally and beneficially derived by the company, in the case of trusts, including discretionary trusts, any net income of a trust estate to which a beneficiary is presently entitled to is income of the beneficiary, not the trustee. By taxing the trustee on income to which the trustee is not beneficially entitled to, and not passing the tax paid by the trustee to the beneficiary who is entitled to that income from the trust estate is not a tax, but – in my opinion – an illegal penal confiscation. Allow me to explain: The Core Problem: When a trustee is assessed on income to which a beneficiary is already beneficially entitled, without any credit (or a full credit) being passed to the beneficiary, two (2) serious legal problems arise with regard to the Constitutional validity of the legislation purporting to assess: 1. Section 51(ii) — Is it a Valid "Tax" or a Penalty/Forfeiture? The High Court in Matthews v Chicory Marketing Board (Vic) (1938) 60 CLR 263 confirmed that a tax is "a compulsory exaction of money by a public authority for public purposes, enforceable by law, and... not a payment for services rendered." A "tax" – in the constitutional sense – requires it to be imposed for revenue-raising purposes, not as a punishment or confiscation. See Woodhams v Deputy Commissioner of Taxation of the Commonwealth of Australia (1997) VSC 59 on what constitutes a penalty (and not a tax). The key issue is whether imposing the full tax burden on a trustee — without any (full) credit mechanism for the beneficial owner — crosses the line from taxation into something more like a forfeiture or a penalty. In these circumstances, I submit the trustee’s right to exoneration and indemnity are in jeopardy and a beneficiary would be entitled to restrain the trustee from using trust funds to discharge a personal obligation, that is not a fiduciary obligation, even if the obligation was imposed by flawed legislation. 2. Section 51(xxxi) — Acquisition on Just Terms If the Commonwealth imposes a liability on a trustee with respect to property or income beneficially owned by another, and the trustee cannot recover that tax from the trust estate or beneficiary through the tax legislation itself or under the terms of the relevant trust deed, this could constitute an acquisition of property (money) from the trustee without just terms, contrary to s 51(xxxi) of the Commonwealth Constitution. The High Court has ruled in Minister of State for the Army v Dalziel (1944) 68 CLR 261 and most recently in Government of the Russian Federation v Commonwealth of Australia [2025] HCA 44 that section 51(xxxi) of the Constitution will protect a party whose property is assumed by the Commonwealth without compensation. The term “property” is widely characterised to give the affected party full constitutional protection. In my view, the proposed arrangements don’t fall into the unintended consequences camp, as is often claimed when some controversy is later discovered after a proper and considered analysis. In this case, the proposed arrangements are fundamental misconceptions, that fail to recognise basic constitutional protections.

But they have never worked a day in the private sector; never started a business; built a new product or service; hired a single soul from their hip pocket; or struggled for years, always at risk of going under… What we are seeing is the lid being lifted on those who have always lived completely taxpayer-funded lives trying to take and tax as much as possible to feather the public sector nest. They have never known what it is like to draw a private wage and/or profit. They think it is a zero sum game: any private income, profit or capital gain needs to be redistributed back to government and its dependents. It is the only way they know how to make money: by taxing private citizens and corporations to fund the public oligarchy and its way of life…

"Singapore saw the number of Covid-19 cases surge by 59% in just one week (May 10-16) with the total reaching 12,700.. This is a significant jump from the previous week’s total of 8,000 Covid cases.. The NB.1.8.1 variant, a descendant of the JN.1 variant, is the main Covid-19 variant circulating in Singapore, accounting for more than half of locally sequenced cases.. The surge could be due to several factors, including waning population immunity.." Waning interest must be one of these factors.

No Indian company has ever witnessed the kind of windfall PnL that Samsung is currently experiencing. Just for reference, Samsung made more profit than the top 5 profitable Indian companies combined, with a fraction of the number of employees across the companies. Profit/employee is very important when discussing these types of bonuses. These bonuses are not for all Samsung employees either. Just for those in their Semiconductor business where profit per employee is reaching bizzare levels.
Frontier Indica@frontierindica

This is why you cannot compare Korean chaebols with Indian dhandho-lala monopolists. Samsung chip workers help create one of the most valuable industrial machines on earth, and the company ends up sharing a serious part of the upside with them. In Vishwaguru, the same promoter class would spend billions on a wedding circus with imported celebrities and atrocious Bollywood performances before giving its wage slaves one extra meaningful bonus.

Classic Tony Greig commentary praising the beauty of the women in the crowd. Tony Greig: Oh boy... and she looked gorgeous. (A long pause follows as Bill Lawry refuses to take the bait) Tony Greig: Well, go on then, say something. (Another pause) Tony Greig: He won't say anything. It's gotta be a pigeon before he comments. Bill Lawry: You dig a hole, you fill it up, mate. (Cameraman cuts a shot of a pigeon sitting on the grandstand roof) Tony Greig: Oh, isn't that beautiful! Bill Lawry: That's what's called a mongrel black checker.

It’s extremely clear now that One Nation is quietly building one of the broadest voter coalitions ever assembled in modern Australian politics. Tradies, small business people, young people, migrants, regional Australians and now increasingly: private school parents. Why? Because more Australians are starting to feel the system no longer works for ordinary families trying to build stable lives, educate their kids and get ahead through the traditional route of hard work. Politics is realigning around competence, cost of living, energy, housing and social stability instead of the old tribal loyalties.
Rukshan Fernando@therealrukshan

🚨 ORANGE is the new BLUE Prediction poll shows One Nation would wipe out COALITION if election were held today, with Labor holding onto majority government. New seat by seat modelling by RedBridge and Accent Research indicates a dramatic realignment in federal politics. The MRP, covering all 150 electorates, projects Labor would win 76 seats on 31 per cent primary if an election were held now. One Nation would jump to 53 seats on 28 per cent and form the official Opposition. The Coalition would be reduced to 12 seats on 21 per cent, with 62 seats changing hands overall. The model shows the Coalition losing 37 seats to One Nation and winning none in Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia or Tasmania. Independents hold eight seats, while the Greens would hold 0.

The biggest difference between India and Pakistan’s narrative after Op Sindoor was - In India, eveyone was saying the same thing. Press conf, media, social media, leaders, everyone. In Pakistan, eveyone had their own version. Because eveyone took creative liberty to describe things that never happened.

Dr. Arthur Guyton, the renowned physiologist who wrote the iconic Textbook of Medical Physiology, invented the first motorized wheelchair controlled by a joystick. He designed this groundbreaking device, along with motorized patient hoists, after contracting polio in 1946 which left him with permanent paralysis. In 1946, during his final year of residency at Massachusetts General Hospital, Dr. Guyton contracted poliomyelitis. The illness caused severe paralysis in his right leg, left arm, and both shoulders, altering his surgical career path and confining him to a wheelchair. During his recuperation at Warm Springs, Georgia, Guyton applied his exceptional mechanical and inventive mind to design mobility aids. He created the world's first motorized wheelchair operated by an electric joystick, for which he received a Presidential Citation. In addition to the wheelchair, he built specialized leg braces and motorized patient hoists. He even engineered highly efficient modifications for his home so he could perform his own mechanical repairs despite his quadriplegic-like paralysis. Despite his physical disabilities, Dr. Guyton became chair of the Department of Physiology at the University of Mississippi School of Medicine. In 1956, he authored the Textbook of Medical Physiology, which remains the global gold-standard physiology text. He established a world-class cardiovascular research program, making revolutionary discoveries regarding the kidney's role in blood pressure and hypertension.
JaPrado.@Dr_AustinOmondi

Dr Arthur Guyton had 10 children including a professor of ophthalmology, a professor of surgery, a professor of medicine, a cardiothoracic surgeon, a rheumatologist, two anaesthesiologists and two orthopaedic surgeons. What a man.

This is important. He's almost entirely wrong, but not quite. Cortisol release is intensity-dependent. While work >~60% VO2max increases cortisol, work <50-60% VO2max decreases cortisol below baseline levels. That is, it's a de-stressor that stabilizes your metabolism. In other words, the metabolic health of the athlete has a lot to do with how they train & how much of it is at moderate-high intensities.
Sean OMara MD, JD@DrSeanOMara

Endurance athletes are building the very disease they think they're outrunning. Distance runners and cyclists accumulate visceral fat, heart fat, and muscle fat while believing their exercise protects them. Their cortisol remains too high for too long and contributes to all sorts of dysfunction.

"The productivity slump is the most important macro fact about the Australian economy right now. It is the supply-side problem behind the inflation problem behind the rate differential behind the currency. It is deep, it has been persistent for two decades, and it will not be fixed by the next budget, by the next rate decision, or by waiting it out." markthegraph.blogspot.com/2026/05/austra…
