Quick notes: Kurds abandoned, A2 milk...

  • Trump throws Kurds under the bus: Almost immediately after the decision to pullout American troops from Syria, Turkey masses troops near Kurdish-held town in northern Syria. Without U.S. soldiers as a buffer, the Kurds are now stuck between Turkey, Assad and ISIS


  • On A2 milk: Indian native breeds of cows and buffaloes are of A2 milk type and hence are a source for safe milk. The frequency of A2 allele was 100% in the five high-yielding milk breeds — Red Sindhi, Gir, Rathi, Shahiwal and Tharparkar, meaning that these breeds do not have A1 allele or A1A1/A1A2 genotype. In the remaining breeds, the availability of A2 allele was 94 per cent.


  • Christians Groups oppose Meditation, Yoga In Schools: The groups claim children in public schools across the U.S. are being “indoctrinated” by “Buddhist-based mindfulness methods in an “outright unconstitutional” practice.. Missouri megachurch pastor John Lindell similarly blasted yoga for its “demonic” Hindu roots in November. He added the “spiritually dangerous” practice was “ “diametrically opposed to Christianity.”


  • EV rentals in Pune: Zoomcar will offer 500 Tata Tigor EV for rent.


  • Chinese colony: Uganda is adding compulsory Chinese lessons to its high school curriculum


  • Shiva Tandava Stotram – Chong Chiu Sen aka Sai Madana Mohana Kumar:


  • जटाटवीगलज्जलप्रवाहपावितस्थले
    गलेवलम्ब्य लम्बितां भुजङ्गतुङ्गमालिकाम् ।
    डमड्डमड्डमड्डमन्निनादवड्डमर्वयं
    चकार चण्डताण्डवं तनोतु नः शिवः शिवम् ॥ 1 ॥

    जटाकटाहसम्भ्रमभ्रमन्निलिम्पनिर्झरी-
