In 1947, two men, both named Kundan, fled Peshawar during the bloody partition that carved Pakistan out of British India. They landed in Delhi and soon became partners in a restaurant called Moti Mahal serving food from the Punjab region. Where they diverge is on the question of which of the men should go down in culinary history. The two families both say that it was their own Kundan who invented butter chicken — the creamy, heavenly marriage of tandoori chicken and tomato gravy beloved everywhere north Indian food is served. And one of them has gone to court to try to prove it.

BALASORE, India, June 3 (Reuters) - Ompal Bhatia, a survivor of the three-train crash in India on Friday, had first thought he was dead. When the train he was traveling in went off-track, Bhatia was with three friends on his way to Chennai for work. The 25-year-old had spent most of the four-hour journey on the Coromandel Express standing. The train, traveling past hills along India’s eastern coast, takes more than 24 hours to complete the journey of more than 1600 kilometres. Archana Paul, a housewife from West Bengal, was in the other train, the Howrah Yesvantpur Express, when the crash happened.

"RIGGED"Israel has been stuck in an election loop since 2019, the same year which saw Netanyahu indicted for corruption on charges he denies. "The only thing that really matters is Bibi or not Bibi, unfortunately," said Hila Shay Vazan, former Knesset member and commentator. And he feels, evidently, that this for him is a political battle for life and death," said political analyst Amotz Asa-El at Shalom Hartman Institute. read moreLike Trump, Netanyahu says he is a victim of a political witch-hunt, counting on support from voters with little interest in the legal details of the trial, Asa-El said. "They say Bibi voters are stupid and ignorant," said Ramla-raised importer Moti Karo, 56.

Studiul, publicat marţi în revista Cell Reports Medicine, a comparat rata de reproducere a virusului şi a ajuns la concluzia că un purtător al virusului cu varianta iniţială infectează în medie o persoană, în timp ce o persoană infectată cu varianta britanică infectează aproape 1,5 persoane. Analiza probelor a relevat că în decurs de şase săptămâni varianta britanică a crescut de la 5% la 90% din cazurile pozitive confirmate. „Pentru a explica această creştere dramatică am comparat rata de reproducere a virusului (iniţial) SARS-CoV-2 cu cea a variantei britanice. Am descoperit astfel că varianta britanică este cu 45%, de aproape 1,5 ori, mai contagioasă”, precizează profesorul Ariel Munitz, de la Departamentul de Imunologie şi Microbiologie Clinică al Universităţii din Tel Aviv. „Importanţa acestui studiu stă în faptul că este printre primele care se bazează pe informaţii reale privind contagierile şi arată că, aşa cum se suspecta, varianta britanică este mai contagioasă”, afirmă coordonatorul cercetării, profesorul Moti Gerlitz, care anticipează că varianta britanică a coronavirusului SARS-CoV-2 va deveni predominantă la nivel mondial.

Persoana responsabilă în primul rând de publicarea „Principiei” a fost Edmond Halley, cunoscutul om de știință și astronom englez după care a fost denumită cometa Halley. „Atunci când privești copiile în sine, s-ar putea să găsești mici note sau adnotări care să ofere indicii despre modul în care a fost folosită. Nu este ca astăzi, când poți cumpăra o carte și să fii singurul care o citește. Cartea este extrem de valoroasă și a fost vândută la licitație, de către case de licitații sau pe piața neagră, cu prețuri cuprinse între 300.000 și peste 3 milioane de dolari. În 2016, o copie a cărții „Principia”, de Isaac Newton, s-a vândut cu 3,7 milioane de dolari, ceea ce a făcut-o cea mai scumpă carte științifică tipărită vândută atunci la licitație.
