sonars effect on dolphins
Diana Reiss
The author points that we would never slaughter chimps then why dolphins?
Dolphin giving a timeout. Imagine the beautiful rings that it can make in water and starting over again to make perfect ones like erasing a slate.
On Diane rehm show
dolphins sponging - tool use

The Cove
If there is magic
I wonder how 'Dolphin Diaries' book is.

Author's interview
Another interview
The author says that nobody told her about the granny panties after delivery. A child birth preparation class is to prepare you for such things. At first I thought it was a joke when the instructor showed the pads. If not for the author, I wouldnt know that you need ice pack after delivery. If the author had read Anne Lamott's Operating Instructions book, she would know of the possibility of a poop during the labour.

Quick look at climate
Climate solutions
Looking at pg.39, states lacking climate action plans (Sep 2007) are just the states which had higher temperatures than normal in July 2006 (pg. 19 Earth the biography)

Best American magazine writing 2007
He Knew he was Right - Ian parker. I began reading thinking its the same as the movie, not that I am dissapointed that it isnt. Very enjoyable read. A good example for profile writing. I hope to get to read more such.
Murdering the Impossible - Caroline Alexander. Having seen a documentary on Messner, I really appreciated this essay.

Looking at an ad in which many young men and women sing and dance in coordination at a shopping mall. It has to be the nth time after rehearsal.

Tomatoes
I heard of Tomatoland on npr.
As kids my sister and I helped my grandparents pick tomatoes on their farm. At the end of the day, when it was time to pack them off to the market, we looked for odd shaped ones to keep and eat.

Its dark knowing the horror stories of pickers who work on the tomatoland.

I picked up Milk, to see if I can find an explanation behind antibiotics role in damaging the bacteria adults need to digest milk. I heard from my colleague that he became lactose intolerant after a dose of antibiotics.
This is not a first book on the history of milk. Milk: the surprising story of milk through ages.

Try this - traveling the globe without leaning the table. While flipping through the pages, I found the words 'Rachel Ray' and picked it.
Long time ago, I was trying to recall Paneer Lababdar, after having had it on a flight.
Authors site
The author while talking about British cuisine says that beer is the third most popluar beverae. I was curious to know what were the top two - water, tea, coffee. I chanced upon A History of the world in six glasses.
Soup dumplings, where the aspic inside melts into soup.
Mapo tofu
Lechon Asado
Arroz moro
Tostones
fufu - caribbean. The author says that cuban cuisine uses plantains like Americans use potatoes. But there are potato dishes like Papas rellenos in Cuban cuisine. A menu revealed Tostones rellenos. Are there any other kind of rellenos? Please stand up.
Pollo Manigua
I saw a video by Sanjay Thumma on how to make Rasmalai. The kneading and heating part of it sounds similar to the process explained by the author about making Mozzarella.
The author explains the emergence of american sushi like California roll and Philadelphia roll.
Robatayaki
perfection - sushi can be made to have the rice grains all in one direction
wagashi
The author explains that the reason for having around 150 banchan- side dishes in Korean food is to balance the hot,cols, spicy, sour,sweet according to yin-yang philosophy.
