Kombucha , A Fermented Tea

  


 Kombucha , A Fermented Tea

 Kombucha is a fizzy sweet-and-sour drink made with tea

Kombucha tea is a sweetened tisane produced through fermentation. Plain kombucha has an acidic, vinegar-like flavor in addition to the original sweet tea flavor. The strength of the tea flavor can be adjusted with the amount of tea bags brewed per volume of water. Kombucha is available at most health food stores, and the organic section of some regular grocery stores. The steps below outline 

Kombucha starts out as a sugary tea, which is then fermented with the help of a scoby. “SCOBY” is actually an acronym for “symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast.” It’s very close cousins to the mother used to make vinegar.

The scoby bacteria and yeast eat most of the sugar in the tea, transforming the tea into a refreshingly fizzy, slightly sour fermented (but mostly non-alcoholic) beverage that is relatively low in calories and sugar.

The fermentation process takes between 7 to 14 days.



Probiotics 

Which brings us to the next question: What’s actually in kombucha? Kombucha is indisputably full of probiotics(Probiotics are live microorganisms promoted with claims that they provide health benefits when consumed, generally by improving or restoring ..) and other happy things that our intestines love and that help boost our overall health. Claims that kombucha cures things like arthritis, depression, and heart burn have less of a proven track record, but hey, our bodies are all different and I say go for it if it works for you.

Is There Alcohol in Kombucha?

Kombucha does contain a little bit of alcohol as a by-product of the fermentation process. It is usually no more than 1%, so unless you drink several glasses back to back, you should be just fine. However, people with alcohol sensitivities or who avoid alcohol for other reasons should be aware of its presence.






Vishu , The New Year Festival of Kerala

 Vishu , The New Year Festival of Kerala. why it is celebrated and story behind it.





Significance of Vishu

In Sanskrit Vishu means equal, which implies the day with equal number hours of day and night .Vishu is celebrated and observed to mark the first day of the Medam, the ninth month according to the Malayalam calendar. Vishu is celebrated in the second week of April and usually falls on the 14th or 15th.This day is also celebrated as New Year Day in Kerala

Vishu Mythological Connection

Several mythological tales are related to the celebration of Vishu; and as per one such story Vishu is the day when Lord Krishna killed Narakasura a demon. 

As per another belief Vishu is celebrated as the return of Surya Dev. According to the other folklores Ravana demon king, never allowed Surya Dev or the Sun God to rise from the east. It was on the day of Vishu, after the death of Ravana, the sun or Surya Dev started to rise from the east. Since then, Vishu is celebrated with great zeal.



Vishu is a Hindu festival celebrated by the people of Kerala,in the Tulu Nadu region of Karnataka, Mahe district of Pondicherry, and some districts in Tamil Nadu. 

Vishu is celebrated to mark the onset of spring and harvest season in the country.  One of the most significant events of Vishu is seeing the Vishu Kani. People observing and celebrating the festival see Vishu Kani as the first thing during dawn.

Now try to understand Vishu Kani ,The Malayalam word "kani" literally means "that which is seen first", so "Vishukkani" means "that which is seen first on Vishu". The traditional belief is that one's future is a function of what one experiences, that the new year will be better if one views auspicious joyful things as the first thing on Vishu.









As per the religious faith of the people on the previous night of the Vishu festival a Vishu Kani in the prayer room or worship area of the house before the idol of Lord Vishnu and Lord Krishna by the eldest lady of the house. Vishu Kani is regarded as the symbol of good luck and prosperity by all Hindu Malayalis.

The Vishu Kani consists of a sacred ceremonial preparation of all auspicious goods considered to be the omen of good luck and prosperity.

Vishu Kani is prepared from items like rice, golden cucumber, jackfruit, coins, currency notes, and an image of Lord Vishnu to name a few.All these articles are collected in a bell shaped vessel made of metal which in Malayalam is called “Uruli”. A traditional bell shaped metal lamp called“Nilavilakku” is also lighted and placed together with the Vishu Kani before the deity. 

After seeing the Vishu Khani, people recite verses from Ramayana, the Holy book of the Hindus, which is considered to be a sacred act. Malayalis believe that the first page of the Ramayana which is opened by the devotee has asignificant impact on his/her life in the upcoming year. After this the children and adult burst crackers and this continues from morning to night. Known as “Vishu Paddakam” or the bursting of crackers is an integral part of the Vishu celebration enjoyed by all big and small. This is followed by a traditional feast known as “Vishu Sadhya”.







While the festival is called “Vishu” only in Kerala, across India festivals sharing the same spirit—such as Ugadhi in Andhra Pradesh and in Karnataka, Gudi Padwa in Maharashtra, Bihu in Assam and Baisakhi in Punjab—are celebrated around the same time of year.

Artificial Intelegence ,Opportunities, Limits and Myths

 


Opportunities, Limits and Myths of

 Artificial Intelegence in fight against crime.

in crime prevention, forensic investigations ,corporate governance,

 legal precedents and global trend signals, authorities and organizations 

already have a clear and safe path to apply Artificial Intelligence 

Corruption, environmental damage, money laundering, fraud, extortion

 and other criminal modalities already well-known and typified today

 gain scale with cyber-attacks, the on-demand formation of gangs in 

the virtual environment, in addition to new configurations of the workforce

 and chains. of value. Although the essence of risks and delinquency are 

similar, the magnitudes completely change the way to monitor and investigate. 

The cinematic cliché of investigators, amid boxes of Chinese food, poring

 through tomes of archives or exhaustively watching a video is already 

as anachronistic as an astronomer mapping stars with a spyglass. 

Big data, analytics, machine learning and other modalities of 

Artificial Intelligence redefine the way of doing science. In the case of 

forensic science, the speed of discoveries can determine the well-being 

of a community, the sustainability of an organization, the preservation of

 an ecosystem or the lives of people.

Artificial Intelligence modalities and applications are in everything – city 

automation, self-driving cars, conversational interactions and a multitude 

of use cases. Of course, each of these areas has its objectives, challenges

 and uncertainties. In the areas of public safety, surveillance, governance,

 crime prevention and forensic investigation, however, work is urgent.

 And there is already a lot to be done with the technologies and references 

of global best practices available, without entering the gray areas of ethical 

limits and regulations that are yet to be established.

More comprehensive, correct and auditable investigation

While emphasizing the guarantee of fundamental rights, the 

 AI Policy Observatory recognizes the role of technology in 

accounting for complex and time-sensitive investigations.

Even without delving into the technical details, it is interesting to see

 how AI modalities are applied in the fight against crime and what points 

of attention for law enforcement authorities, intelligence agencies or auditors.

The branch known as Big Data is the part that allows capturing data from

 different sources, with correlations and insights. Along with this gain in 

scale and speed, AI also brings the ability to analyze images, make

 translations in real time and, in short, transform different types of content 

into relevant information. The technological infrastructure, tools and services

 aspects are already relatively mature. Where to start, with less risk and 

greater return, is the challenge.
