If a country halted co-operation with the international community on sharing counter-terrorism intelligence, while simultaneously reducing its own capabilities in domestic counter-terrorism, this would patently be a national security risk. The same is true of biological security.

That is really the smell of the cooking fat (so if you cook in butter it will smell more enticing than, say, some sunflower type oil). But fatty smells linger. Like garam masala and onion etc. :-|

Those are the two classic smells realtors in western countries recommend when advising the sale of the house. So when viewers come in, they smell bread and or coffee and it feels like "home".

I like mutton stew/ curry but for my money, "freshly ground coffee, brewing" is the aroma to beat them all.

As the universality of the force of love goes, got to admit "lo jhuk gaya aasmaan bhi" is a lot more evocative and poetic than "who makes me tremble with wonderful rapture".

A silver skull with engravings on the top.
The top of the skull is open to reveal a clock inside.
It's #MementoMoriMonday! Here's a silver watch in the form of a human skull, c. 1660.
The watch is inscribed with: vita fugitur (life is fleeting), aesterna respice (look down upon a fallen thing), caduca despice (look upon eternity), incertita hora (death/hour is uncertain)

I read two essays on how AR devices will reshape user interfaces. Both argue traditional PC and smartphone UIs need rethinking, with generative AI playing a key role.
I believe Voice-based UIs combined with deviceβs ability to βseeβ what you see could be as game-changing as GPS was for the iPhone.

I believe this inspired the original logo for IIM Ahmedabad. In the "modernisation" drive that seems underway it has been replaced by something .. how do we say politely, ugly. But hey "modernity" so why worry about Sidi Saiyyed or even Louis Kahn.

Basically dependent on the nature of beneficiary and scale of benefit realised from such opportunism. That is often shaped by incentives available for either path as well as values by which the opportunist operates?
