Using pioneering new technologies in Superfoods and nutrition, CFTRI has developed amazing new products which are on show at CFTRI stall at Pragati Maidan:
· Chia and Quinoa based Chocolates and Laddoos;
· Omega-3 enriched ice-cream;
· Multigrain banana bar
· Fruit juice based carbonated drinks.
New Delhi, 24th November, 2016: CSIR-Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), the premier national institute for food technology is exhibiting a range of new agri-products now grown in India, called Superfoods that bring health and nutrition best practices to everyday eating and living to the common man. The exhibits by CFTRI at the Trade Fair at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi both impress and surprise with the range and scope of their utility and potency.
The Indian population is presently going through a nutrition transition and there is an increase in incidence of diabetes, impaired heart health and obesity while there is still rampant malnutrition in the nation.
Keeping in mind an effective solution needed to address these concerns, CSIR-CFTRI is working on bringing Superfoods to the Indian population. CFTRI works on various facets of food technology, food processing, advanced nutrition, Superfoods and allied sciences. Superfoods are foods which have superior nutrition profiles which upon regular consumption can help improve health and wellness of the consumer.
CFTRI has developed the agro-technology for growing Superfoods viz. Chia and Quinoa in Indian conditions. Chia is the richest source of omega-3 fats from a vegetarian source and Quinoa has excellent protein quality and low glycemic load carbohydrates. Comprehensively, Chia and Quinoa have potential to improve population health and both blend seamlessly into traditional food preparations.
CSIR-CFTRI also infuses the spirit of entrepreneurship in their students. One of the doctoral students after completing her academic program started her own technology provider start-up company, Oleome Biosolutions Pvt Ltd. In a global first, CSIR-CFTRI in collaboration with Oleome, has developed a 100% vegetarian, Omega-3-enriched Ice cream called “Nutriice” using Chia oil.
CSIR-CFTRI is also in the process of the final phase of testing of diacylglycerol (DAG) oil, a unique cooking oil that has “Anti-Obesity” functionalities. One can consume it as part of daily regular diet and while the oil is available as energy but does not get stored as fat in our bodies. The final phase of human clinical trial is presently under progress.
CFTRI has also designed and developed snacks with advanced nutrition designs to support the nutrition needs of growing children. These have been implemented in the aganwadi levels to complement the existing government mid-day meal and will be scaled up soon. The products, such as Nutri Chikki with spirulina, rice beverage mix, high protein rusk, energy food, nutri sprinkle, seasame paste and fortified mango bars have been well received by the children and the anganwadis alike. Multi-grain Banana bar is a new addition to in this product portfolio.
Another exciting area of multidisciplinary research being done at CSIR-CFTRI is on nanotechnology, food technology and nutrition. Nanomaterials are known for their characteristic properties and CSIR-CFTRI is working on the use of nanoparticles for various applications. One of our interesting developments is the design and development of food packaging material with nanoparticles with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties to improve shelf-life of processed foods.
CSIR-CFTRI is also working on “Smart Foods” to answer specific needs of the consumer. These promising and specifically designed innovations are being developed for better sleep, better skin health, improved digestion, better cognitive performance and better stress management. The high science is brought into a simple food product, like a cereal bar which helps one to be more attentive over the day, or a unique dosa mix that helps in working out better at the gym with lower perceived exhaustion and even a special soup to help sleep better at night!
Speaking on the sidelines of the CSIR-CFTRI exhibition at Pragati Maidn, Prof. Ram Rajasekharan, Director, CFTRI said “Our mandate is to find innovative solutions to India agricultural and nutritional challenges. Our aim is to develop products to make Indian agriculture productive, efficient and at a consumer level gradually replace drugs with foods that will promote better health and wellness. We strive to deliver our best in improving food security and nutrition security, also developing a stronger, smarter and healthier India”.

These two artifacts represent 30,000 years of technological evolution.
TECHNOLOGY is a 'material entity' created by the 'application of mental and physical effort to nature in order to achieve some value'. It evolves in three stages: TOOLS, MACHINES, & AUTOMATION. The replacement of physical labor with more efficient mental labor, results in a greater degree of control over one's natural environment, including an ability to transform raw materials into ever more complex and pliable products.
The economic implication of this idea is that intellectual labor becomes increasingly more important relative to physical labor. This 'efficiency' leads to vast concentrations of power accumulating in societies, this over time can result in turmoil, and ultimately cause the demise of entire civilizations.

Just like the many technological inventions we enjoy today, locks have a long and amazing history. It all started the moment man felt the need to protect himself and his possessions from intruders and unauthorized individuals. As time went by, countless changes were made on the system to make it more effective and efficient. The end result being, good and reliable security.
The beginning
More than 4,000 years ago, it is believed the Egyptians developed what is now considered the oldest lock in history. Being one of the oldest professions in the world, locksmithing has come a long way. In fact, back then the experts used to be called blacksmiths due to their use of steel all the time.
What most people do not realize is that the art incorporates aspects of carpentry, machinist and even carpentry. Each one of them plays a crucial and distinct role that brings forth what we use to protect our homes, offices, cars, bicycles, and safes.
The year 1778 experienced the greatest turning point in as far as modern locks and security features are concerned. A man by the name Robert Barron from England made significant adjustments to the lever tumbler lock which was the most popular at the time. He set it to a double acting lever lock which could only be opened by following a specific procedure.
After him, there were other notable experts who contributed immensely to the upgrading. They are the reason we now have the electronic lock, magnetic lock, dead bolt, Chubb detector lock, time lock, you name it. We have also had individuals using the craft for entertainment purposes. Harry Houdini who started working under a locksmith ended up being a famous magician. The skills learned during his apprenticeship would be displayed in his performances when he opened handcuffs and locks with exemplary ease.
By the year 2000, lock systems around the world had come of age. Technological advancement gave rise to more complex and sophisticated equipment. Lock specialization was more than just a profession. A competition which was started back in 1817 to entice individuals to develop secure locks was elevated to lock picking championship in 2002. It brought together all the best security whizzes from around the world on one platform.
Today we have some of the most renowned security gurus under one roof at www.locksmithrandburg.com. In an industry full of both skilled and fraudulent technicians, you can only be safe with individuals who have been around for a while are known to satisfy their clients’ needs. You can get all the details by dialing the number 010 500 1860.

taken with my Canon sd790is point and shoot
Amber and I took some pictures on the grounds of the local college (Tennessee Technological University) one evening after the sun went down. I specifically wanted to find out how well the Canon 50mm f/1.4 would focus under [relatively] dim lighting conditions. Turns out it fared better than I hoped. Amber did a great job snapping this series.
I also wanted to use one of my new SaxonPC grids with a colored gel. As you can most likely see, I pointed a flash with the SaxonPC grid and a red gel at the background. Unfortunately for me, I can't really see the color because I'm red/green colorblind. It just looks like a normal (albeit dimly lit) wall. Everyone else comments on the color, though, so I suppose it's there. ;-)

Using pioneering new technologies in Superfoods and nutrition, CFTRI has developed amazing new products which are on show at CFTRI stall at Pragati Maidan:
· Chia and Quinoa based Chocolates and Laddoos;
· Omega-3 enriched ice-cream;
· Multigrain banana bar
· Fruit juice based carbonated drinks.
New Delhi, 24th November, 2016: CSIR-Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), the premier national institute for food technology is exhibiting a range of new agri-products now grown in India, called Superfoods that bring health and nutrition best practices to everyday eating and living to the common man. The exhibits by CFTRI at the Trade Fair at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi both impress and surprise with the range and scope of their utility and potency.
The Indian population is presently going through a nutrition transition and there is an increase in incidence of diabetes, impaired heart health and obesity while there is still rampant malnutrition in the nation.
Keeping in mind an effective solution needed to address these concerns, CSIR-CFTRI is working on bringing Superfoods to the Indian population. CFTRI works on various facets of food technology, food processing, advanced nutrition, Superfoods and allied sciences. Superfoods are foods which have superior nutrition profiles which upon regular consumption can help improve health and wellness of the consumer.
CFTRI has developed the agro-technology for growing Superfoods viz. Chia and Quinoa in Indian conditions. Chia is the richest source of omega-3 fats from a vegetarian source and Quinoa has excellent protein quality and low glycemic load carbohydrates. Comprehensively, Chia and Quinoa have potential to improve population health and both blend seamlessly into traditional food preparations.
CSIR-CFTRI also infuses the spirit of entrepreneurship in their students. One of the doctoral students after completing her academic program started her own technology provider start-up company, Oleome Biosolutions Pvt Ltd. In a global first, CSIR-CFTRI in collaboration with Oleome, has developed a 100% vegetarian, Omega-3-enriched Ice cream called “Nutriice” using Chia oil.
CSIR-CFTRI is also in the process of the final phase of testing of diacylglycerol (DAG) oil, a unique cooking oil that has “Anti-Obesity” functionalities. One can consume it as part of daily regular diet and while the oil is available as energy but does not get stored as fat in our bodies. The final phase of human clinical trial is presently under progress.
CFTRI has also designed and developed snacks with advanced nutrition designs to support the nutrition needs of growing children. These have been implemented in the aganwadi levels to complement the existing government mid-day meal and will be scaled up soon. The products, such as Nutri Chikki with spirulina, rice beverage mix, high protein rusk, energy food, nutri sprinkle, seasame paste and fortified mango bars have been well received by the children and the anganwadis alike. Multi-grain Banana bar is a new addition to in this product portfolio.
Another exciting area of multidisciplinary research being done at CSIR-CFTRI is on nanotechnology, food technology and nutrition. Nanomaterials are known for their characteristic properties and CSIR-CFTRI is working on the use of nanoparticles for various applications. One of our interesting developments is the design and development of food packaging material with nanoparticles with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties to improve shelf-life of processed foods.
CSIR-CFTRI is also working on “Smart Foods” to answer specific needs of the consumer. These promising and specifically designed innovations are being developed for better sleep, better skin health, improved digestion, better cognitive performance and better stress management. The high science is brought into a simple food product, like a cereal bar which helps one to be more attentive over the day, or a unique dosa mix that helps in working out better at the gym with lower perceived exhaustion and even a special soup to help sleep better at night!
Speaking on the sidelines of the CSIR-CFTRI exhibition at Pragati Maidn, Prof. Ram Rajasekharan, Director, CFTRI said “Our mandate is to find innovative solutions to India agricultural and nutritional challenges. Our aim is to develop products to make Indian agriculture productive, efficient and at a consumer level gradually replace drugs with foods that will promote better health and wellness. We strive to deliver our best in improving food security and nutrition security, also developing a stronger, smarter and healthier India”.

Το 1864 τα μεταλλεία του Λαυρίου λειτούργησαν ξανά μετά από αρκετούς αιώνες. Φτωχοί εργάτες από όλη την Ελλάδα κατέφθασαν στην περιοχή για να δουλέψουν, ανάμεσα τους και πολλές γυναίκες και παιδιά. Δούλευαν από τα ξημερώματα έως τη δύση του ηλίου χωρίς σταματημό, με μοναδική παρέα τα ποντίκια, τα μοναδικά ζώα που επιβίωναν στην περιοχή και μέσα στις στοές. Τις περισσότερες φορές οι εργάτες πέθαιναν νωρίς από μολυβδίαση ή πνευμονοκονίαση, ασθένειες που εμφανίζονται σε ανθρώπους που εκτίθενται για χρόνια στη σκόνη και τις θανατηφόρες χημικές ουσίες των ορυχείων....
Οι εγκαταστάσεις ανήκαν στην Γαλλική Εταιρεία Μεταλλείων Λαυρίου με ιδρυτή και ιδιοκτητη τον Ι. Β. Σερπιέρη.
In 1864 the mines of Lavrion working again after several centuries. Poor workers from all over Greece arrived on the scene to work, among them many women and children. They worked from dawn to dusk without stopping, with unique group mice, unique animals surviving in the region and through the galleries. Most often workers die early from lead poisoning or pneumoconiosis, diseases that occur in people exposed for years to dust and deadly chemicals mine ....
The plants belong to the French Mining Company of Lavrion founder and owner of G. B. Serpieri.

America's major technological contribution to World War I was the "Liberty" aircraft engine. It was light, powerful and efficient. America's auto industry turned out 20,478 of them for the war. The Liberty engine continued in military and civilian use even into World War II.
This 12-cylinder, liquid-cooled 443-hp Liberty 12-B demonstrates the Army Air Service engineers' quest for higher flight and more efficient power. Its turbosupercharger allowed aircraft to reach great heights by compressing the thin air at high altitudes to preserve engine power. A turbosupercharger uses engine exhaust to power an air compressor, which in turn feeds dense, oxygen-rich air to the engine. A sturdy circular arrangement of reduction gears on this particular engine (called "epicyclic" gears, in the round silver case around the propeller shaft) allowed the propeller to turn at variable speeds for better performance. This method of changing the propeller's thrust by shifting gears eventually gave way to adjusting the angle or pitch of the propeller blades instead.
These kinds of experimental refinements were carried out at McCook Field and Wright Field, the Army Air Service's testing facilities near Dayton, Ohio. The tests led to greater knowledge and better aircraft in the 1920s and 1930s and paved the way for developing the superior aircraft the Allies would need in the Second World War.

The four circles symbolise the four ages of British technological revolution. The central circle symbolises the Iron Age.
The ring of gears surrounding it symbolises the Industrial Revolution. Rather oddly the odd number of gears in the interlocking chain means that none of them could turn; they are firmly stuck. That makes it an appropriate symbol of British managerial ignorance of technical matters and C.P. Snow's Two Cultures.
The next ring is supposed to symbolise the computer age. I can't see it. Those 33 curved plates, each secured by a single tiny inset machine screw, look to me more reminiscent of the gear retaining plates of watch mechanisms than anything else. Accurate timekeeping was fundamental to the accurate ship location and naval mapping so important to the Navies of the British Empire. Harrison's marine chronometers, the later forms of which were watches, were a famous British invention.
The final brass section is supposed to symbolise the internet. Well, I suppose it could.
Around the edge of thhe coin it says "ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS". This is taken from Isaac Newton's letter of apology to his arch enemy and rival the Astronomer Royal Robert Hooke. Hooke had accused Newton of plagiarising his discovery of the optical properties of thin plates. In his apology Newton acknowledged that discovery of Hooke's, and said that if he Newton had been able to see further (into optical mysteries) than Hooke (which of course he did -- much further) then that was only because he had been able to "stand on the shoulders of giants". This is generally taken to be a generous reference to the achievements of the great scientists of the past. Hooke, however, was in Newton's view a pygmy mind unfitted for the position of Astronomer Royal, and was also a dwarf. So it could also be seen as a coded sneer at the very idea that he could possibly be scientifically indebted to Hooke in any way.
[Technical note:- A first quick experiment in coin photography. I thought glancing side lighting would emphasize the surface details. It has, far too much, since the raised edges are reflective hghlights too bright to contain detail. There is also too little of the more direct light which would tell us that the surface is reflectively smooth metal. A more elaborate and careful lighting set up is obviously required for coin macro photographs.]
