...very occasional switch to acoustic segments, interspersed squeals, and hearty track lengths. Rapid beats are repeatedly counterbalanced with the scattering of double time, slower tempo sections. But “Cosmic Egg” takes a step towards even harder ’60s rock riffs and heavy metal intensity...
...Nature vs. Nurture Tulasidas mandase of bivara barsa village in Vidarbha couldn't agree more. Though he has received aid from the government, Mandase, 38, complains that it hasn't been the right kind. The state donated a metal plow and a pesticide sprayer, but neither worked. To get subsidized soybean seeds, he spends a full day traveling by bus to a nearby town. It often takes two or three trips, and, with bus fares costing him 60? per roundtrip, he wonders if the cheaper seeds are worth the effort. What he really requires, he says, is better infrastructure...
...dangerous implications for the Gazan diet. Several of Gaza's key sewage treatment and transport facilities were destroyed during last winter's war with Israel.

When the smoke...
...don’t take people’s umbrellas that they clearly haven’t forgotten, having merely laid them aside. I don’t make George’s mistake in “Seinfeld” of thinking that the umbrellas in the metal cans at coffee shops are free. I only take umbrellas that are indubitably lost, like the one I took last week from my section room, which had been forlornly flung into a corner for some time. Since I have contributed so many umbrellas to the great Karmic Circle of Lost Precipitation...
