Salt is Banned in New York Restaurant

Salty food known may predispose high blood pressure. Avoid salt or sodium means love our heart. That is why New York Government whose having 1,5 million people with hypertension, planned to ban salt for all city restaurant. New York assembly member Felix Ortiz has introduced a bill which would lead to chefs being fined £665 every time they used salt in any of their recipe. It will be good for New Yorkers' health. But how about chefs? That was bad dream for them since salt is very essential to cook. How can they make delicious food without salt at all? A coalition of chefs, restaurant owners and consumers calling themselves 'My Food My Choice' has denounced the proposed ban as 'absurd'. Tom Colicchio, owner of Craft restaurant and star of U.S. TV show Top Chef, said: 'If they banned salt, nobody would come here any more.'Restaurants would still be allowed to leave salt cellars on tables. But New York has already banned artery-blocking transfats in restaurants. It is also considering a tax on soft drinks.
What do you think? Many people like salty food and oppositely only few people who can avoid salt in their food. In other side, our body need about 500 milligrams of salt everyday for your body to function. Most people take in about 10 times that amount daily. The recommended amount of salt for people with high blood pressure is about 1500 milligrams a day. So what do youb think know? Are you choosing to reduce or removing salt Every rule made has their own positive and negative effect. But for me myself, reduce salt is better than removing it at all

Spectacular Images of Solar Corona

An extraordinary image is a montage, digitally stitched together from 38 photos taken on the Marshall Islands in July 2009 by veteran eclipse hunter Miloslav Druckmuller.
That was images of solar corona which formed as flaming ball of hydrogen and helium gas, at 865,000 miles across, is 100 times wider than the Earth, with a million times its volume. Powered by nuclear reactions in its core, it is the most majestic object in our skies.
A corona itself a type of plasma "atmosphere" of the Sun or other celestial body, extending millions of kilometers into space, most easily seen during a total solar eclipse, but also observable in a coronagraph. The Latin root of the word corona means crown (Wikipedia)
It's called a corona and can't normally be seen because of the brightness of the Sun, a broiling sea of hydrogen gas at 10,000c. But during a solar eclipse, the Moon blocks out the Sun and the corona is spectacularly revealed.


As well as being very hot, the ionised gas of the corona (called plasma) has a superthin consistency. It is less than a billionth of the density of the hydrogen that makes up the main ball of the Sun
This picture was created from 38 individual photographs at ISO 100, exposure time was between 1/125 seconds and 8 seconds
A photo montage captured during a solar eclipse over the Marshall Islands in July 2009. The beautiful image shows the solar corona that makes up the sun's 'atmosphere' in amazing detail as the sun passes behind the Moon
This was the view from the Marshall Islands for Mr Druckmuller where the pictures were taken. He has travelled the world chasing eclipsesSource: dailymail.co.uk

The Secret of Einstein Relativity Theory Published

Eventually the Jewish state, Israel showed the presence of the original manuscript of relativity theory written by Albert Einstein for the first time to the public. A total of 46 pages of handwritten notes are on display at the Academy of Science and Humanities of Israel in Jerusalem in order to their commemorate 50 years anniversary.
This manuscript was first published in 1916, and this theory is an important breakthrough in modern physics. As reported in dailymail, Hanoch Gutfreund who was one former founder of the Hebrew University says that the theory is feasible called as Magna Carta of physics.
It took eight years after Einstein published the special theory of relativity to expand it into a theory of general relativity, in which he showed that gravity can affect time and space, a key to understanding the basic forces of physics and natural phenomena, including the origin of the universe.


The manuscript will be on display of exhibition until March 25 date will also coincide with Einstein's birthday which fell on March 14.

Mysterious Snake Appears on Queen Elizabeth Painting

National Portrait Gallery in London was shocked with snake figure which mysteriously appears in the painting of the 16th century depicting Queen Elizabeth I. According to the researchers, the snake was in the original version was described in a circle on the fingers of the queen. But the snake images seem to be less suitable, so by the artist in the last minute replaced with rose.
Now, after so many years later, the snake appeared again because of age and consumed painting pictures of flowers roses fade. The painting was created by an unknown artist in the 1580s or early 1590s. The painting is not on display at London gallery since 1921 but will be part of a thematic exhibition The Changing Faces of Elizabeth I, from March 13 to September 26.
According to the gallery curator, a snake is sometimes used to symbolize the wisdom, and power of judgments, but the scaly creatures were also associated with the symbol of evil and original sin. Well, the painter may remove serpent for those double different philosophy of snake. Snake is in queen’s greep but has a greenish-blue scales, so that almost certainly that it was painted by the imagination because it is more like a dragon than a snake actually.

In X-rays found also face of another woman whose identity is unknown. Unidentified woman's face was facing the opposite direction and in a higher position than the queen's face. Her eyes and nose were covered by Queen Elizabeth's forehead.
Photo gallery sure is a woman's face early paintings by different painters who closed with a portrait of the Queen. This shows how the painting of the 16th century sometimes recycled by the artist. Unknown woman appeared wearing a French hood, with the clothing style in 1570-1580's. Means an interval of several years before the painting was recycled back to painting portraits of Elizabeth.

When News Presenter Are Naked

Two undergraduate students from Cambridge University named Seb Dunnett (20) and Jane Doe (21) present a unique action. They were naked when reading bulletins for the university's new online TV channel. We don’t even know that was joke or crazy action.
Previously this prestigious university had ever shocked public when over the recent introduction of Page 3 girls in their online magazine.
The news reading was clip filmed for three minutes on last Wednesday, both presenters are seen cycling around the narrow city streets covered only by black gowns. They then disrobe, with Mr Dunnett (who studies Natural Sciences at Homerton College) wearing just a pair of wire-framed glasses.
His female co-presenter (also a Natural Sciences student) preserves her modesty with blue CU:TV stickers on her breasts while the more graphic shots are covered by a computer-generated image.
After an opening sequence taking in the city's landmarks the pair, who call each other John and Jane, read the headlines on topics ranging from Varsity rugby to celebrity gossip.
One of the presenter said that the show was meant to poke fun at Cambridge students who 'take themselves too seriously'. Wow! Really fantastic joke!

But I don’t know why I’m so blasé let him sitting up alone in my chair, so when he moves the chair become unbalance then fall with my son. His head hit a floor. He was cried a lot for few minutes. I hold him for a while till he fall a sleep. I really regret because that was my false. But then I felt relieved since I’ve not found the signs of bad head injury on my little one. No swollen in the head, no bleed and crying only fo aminutes. In fact, head injury is very common accident in babies and children. That is because they are very active to move. Be careful moms, severe head injury often causes disability and death. A head injury itself is any trauma that leading injury of the scalp, scull and brain. Be careful moms, severe head injury especially brain injury often causes disability and death.
