Five Foods to Make You Puke -
28 April 2008, 1:18 pm
Good luck trying eat these foods.Durian Durian is a fruit native to Thailand. They general grow to be about the size of your average melon. They have a light green layer that is hard like that of a coconut. It has sharp spikes on the outside as well. When you cut the fruit open you can see its sectioned yellow flesh. The odor of this fruit is pungent, some people describe the odor to be like the smell or stinky feet, rotting flesh, or a high concentration of walnuts. The smell is so offensive that it is illegal to be eaten in many public areas all around Asia and there are signs to let you know!Stinky TofuTofu is made from the juice derived from crushed up soy beans. To make this juice into tofu you follow the same process that you do to make cheese. Essentially tofu is the cheese of the vegetarian world. But beware, this isn't your normal everyday tofu, this has been fermenting for up to 2 years! Sometimes stinky tofu is eaten with the 2 inches of mold still growing on top of it. You could probably compare the taste of this Asian delicacy to that of a moldy piece of cow dung that has been left out in the hot and humid jungle for 3 years. Here's what it looks like.Casu MarzuCasu marzu literally translates to “rotten cheese” in Italian. Believe it or not, this cheese is a delicacy in small parts of Italy. This cheese is actually so old that it has hundreds of maggots chowing down in there. This dish is so bad that the Italian government has made the sale of it illegal. But somehow it still fetches a high price on the Black-Market. I feel really bad for any child who was forced to eat this.HakarlHakarl is a dish that was discovered by a person literally dying of starvation. He was so desperate for food that he dug up a shark that he buried in the ground four months prior and ATE THE SHARK!!! This food is eaten on a regular basis in Iceland. It is said to separate the men from the boys because most can't even keep it down. Today this dish is made by hanging the sharks in a giant shed for four months and letting them ferment that way, but don't worry, they still have that same great taste.BalutBalut is eaten all over Central America and is a very common snack. But be wary, this food isn't for you finicky eaters out there, this food is actually a half developed duck embryo, fermented or not fermented, DEPENDS ON PREFERENCE. Anyone who can keep this food down in their stomachs is a real trooper, I cant even imagine have all of that gooey guts and blood in my mouth. As I said though a whole lots of people truly enjoy this dish.http://www.purpleslinky.com/Offbeat/Five-Foods-to-Make-You-Puke.104235
European firm buys Dabur for Rs 880 crore -
21 April 2008, 2:10 pm
Deal values the company at Rs 1,199 crore.Dabur is exiting the pharma business. The Burman family, promoters of FMCG major Dabur, has sold the oncology drug manufacturing company - Dabur Pharma - to European healthcare major Fresenius SE for about Rs 880 crore. The Burmans, along with some key stakeholders, have agreed to sell their 73.27 per cent stake at a price of Rs 76.50 per share, a 10 per cent premium over the current market price. The deal values Dabur Pharma at Rs 1198.75 crore. When contacted, Anand Burman, chairman of Dabur declined to comment on the deal. The acquisition will be routed through the European company’s Singapore subsidiary Fresenius Kabi (Singapore). This is the second largest buyout by an overseas pharmaceutical company in India, next only to the Matrix Laboratories takeover by Mylan Laboratories of the US for about Rs 3,367 crore. The Iceland-based Actavis, one of the top global generic companies, had acquired the bulk drug division of the Chennai-based Sanmar Specialties and the tablets division of Grandix Pharmaceuticals, a few months ago, in two separate deals. Dabur Pharma is one of the leading players in the field of oncology in India and is among the top generic oncology companies in various markets, including in Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia and India. Besides being present in more than 40 countries, the company has a strong base in the US. It has a substantial market share in Paclitaxel and Irinotecan injections used in the treatment of rectum cancer. Dabur has 12 generic drugs pending for approval in the US market. It has already received four approvals. “Dabur is an FMCG company and the move of the Burmans to exit from the pharma business is aimed at focussing on the high investment intensive FMCG business,” said Sujay Shetty, associate director of PricewaterhouseCoopers. Dabur had demerged its pharma business in 2003 to set up Dabur Pharma. Last year, the company hived off its non-oncology formulation business to Ahmedabad-based Alembic for Rs 159 crore to focus exclusively on the cancer drug business. The deal will considerably strengthen the ¤2 billion oncology business of Fresenius. Dabur Pharma, which posted a net profit of Rs 19.7 crore on a turnover of Rs 322 crore in 2006-07, is India’s leading player in cancer medicines with a revenue of over Rs 60 crore annually. The company has three manufacturing facilities at Kalyani, Baddi and at Bardon, UK. It also owns a marketing arm - Biosciences Co - in Thailand.http://business-standard.com/common/storypage_c.php?leftnm=10&autono=320638
Indien zweitgrößte Handynation der Welt -
21 April 2008, 7:48 am
Das zweite asiatische Land ist an der Weltspitze angekommen, was die Handyverbreitung angeht. In Indien werden mittlerweile 265 Millionen Kunden gezählt. Damit ist es zweitgrößter Mobilfunkmarkt der Welt nach China und hat die USA überholt. Das berichtet die Online-Ausgabe der tagesschau.Indiens Mobilfunkmarkt wächst mit der atemberaubenden Geschwindigkeit von acht bis neun Millionen Neunkunden pro Monat. Das ist die höchste Wachstumsrate weltweit. Dabei findet das stärkste Wachstum mittlerweile auf dem Land statt, denn in den Städten hat "jedes Mitglied einer Durchschnittsfamilie inzwischen ein Handy", zitiert tagesschau.de den Direktor des staatlichen Telefonkonzerns BSNL, Saab Dayal Saxena. Zwei Drittel der 1,1 Milliarden Inder leben außerhalb der großen Städte.Dass der Mobilfunk auch für ärmere Menschen so attraktiv ist, liegt einmal an der guten Verfügbarkeit: Die Mobilfunknetze reichen inzwischen weiter als die Festnetze. Vor allem ist das mobile Telefonieren in Indien aber sehr billig: Eine Gesprächsminute kostet manchmal nicht einmal ein Drittel Eurocent. Dennoch macht sein Unternehmen Gewinn, sagt Saxena. "Wir verdienen viel Geld über Masse."Ähnlich äußert sich auch der Direktor des Verbandes der indischen Mobilfunkbetreiber, T.V. Ramachandran. "Wenn wir im Jahr 2010 die atemberaubende Zahl von 500 Millionen Handynutzern erreichen werden, sind das nicht einmal 50 Prozent der Bevölkerung", erinnert er an die große Menge Menschen, die der Mobilfunk in Indien noch erreichen kann und will. Europäische Länder haben eine Anschlussdichte von mehr als 100 Prozent. "Wir hätten also auch mit 500 Millionen Anschlüssen noch das Potenzial für eine weitere Verdopplung", freut sich Ramachandran.Außerdem ist ein weiteres mobiles Geschäftsfeld noch beinahe unerschlossen: Internet per Handynetz. Die Versorgung der indischen Bevölkerung mit Internet ist noch sehr schlecht. Leitungen zu verlegen dauere zu lang und sei zu teuer, so Ramachandran. Der beste und günstigste Weg sei Breitband über Mobilfunk.http://www.tariftip.de/News/23224/Indien-zweitgroesste-Handynation-der-Welt.html
Prachanda to be the next Nepal PM -
20 April 2008, 12:36 pm
Maoist supremo Prachanda, whose party has registered a surprise victory in recent Constituent Assembly polls, on Sunday declared that he would lead the next government in Nepal."I will soon become the head of the first republican government," Prachanda said during a victory rally in Kirtipur Municipality of Kathmandu.Ahead of the April 10 polls, Prachanda was projected by the Communist Party of Nepal-Moist party as the future President. But as the interim constitution does not have the provision for electing a President, he is expected to head the government as Prime Minister, party insiders said.The CPN-Maoist has emerged as the single largest party by securing 118 seats out of a total of 240, for which polls were held under the first-past-the-post voting system. The results of eight constituencies, for which re-election was held on Saturday, are yet to be announced.However, Maoists are unlikely to win majority in the 601-member Constituent Assembly as they have so far received only 30 per cent votes under the proportionate voting system for 335 seats. The prime minister will fill the remaining 26 seats through nominations.Prachanda said he would give special emphasis to the development of Kirtipur, a constituency having strong anti-King feeling and from where the Maoist chief got elected to the assembly. Prachanda has also been elected from Rolpa district.He also assured the voters that Nepal would be declared a republic in the first meeting of the Constituent Assembly, which will be held within three weeks of the announcement of all the results.http://www.rediff.com/news/2008/apr/20nepal.htm
