Introduction:

Instituto Cervantes of New Delhi invites you to understand the concepts of the new techno-emotional Spanish cooking, considered as a language that requires the sociocultural union between art and science. In the molecular Spanish gastronomy, the art of cooking is considered as a sensitive-emotional act, which attempts to surprise, remember and arise emotion, staying loyal to the Spanish Mediterranean flavors.

Spanish cutlery is characterized by a techno – cultural evolution based on the traditional “platos de cuchara” (home made meals). This new molecular cooking, born in the early 90´s, reaches its peak under the work of Chef Ferrán Adriá, in the restaurant El Bulli. He is the generator, and driving force behind the creativity in the meals and the liberty in the selection, and pairings of drinks.

The main purpose of this course is for the individual, either professional or fan, to enjoy good cooking, reflect on the approach of delicious Spanish gastronomy and its union with Indian cooking through similar Mediterranean identities. In the course you will discuss snacks (cold, warm) “tapas”, froths, meals, tapas-plates, de-construction, avant deserts, deserts, petit fours and morphing which define much of Spain’s new world sensitivity, present in the 21^st century.

Speaking during the Closing Ceremony of the Olympic Games in the Olympic Stadium in Stratford, he said: 'The British people got behind London's bid and they got behind London's Games. Our Opening Ceremony proclaimed that these would be a Games for everyone. At our Closing Ceremony, we can say that these were a Games by everyone.'
In addition to thanking those who built the venues and helped organise the Games, Seb Coe played tribute to the athletes for their outstanding performances. 'To all the Olympians who came to London to compete - thank you. Those of us who came to watch witnessed moments of heroism and heartbreak that will live long in the memory. You have our admiration and our congratulations.'
He added: 'On the first day of these Games I said we were determined to do it right. I said that these Games would see the best of us.
'On this last day I can conclude with these words: When our time came - Britain, we did it right. Thank you!'
The President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Jacques Rogge, declared the Games of the 30th Olympiad closed just before midnight: 'We will never forget the smiles, the kindness and the support of the wonderful volunteers, the much-needed heroes of these Games.
He also thanked the public for their enthusiastic support. 'You, the spectators and the public, provided the soundtrack for these Games. Your enthusiastic cheers energised its competitors and brought a festive spirit to every Olympic venue.'
The grand finale of the Games saw the Olympic Flame extinguished in a spectacular sequence.
Each participating team will receive one of the Olympic Cauldron's petals to take home with them.
The spectacular ceremony also looked forward to the next summer Olympic Games in 2016, as the Olympic Flag was handed over to the Mayor of Rio de Janeiro, Eduardo Paes.

Nicola Adams of Britain secured the first-ever women’s boxing gold medal on the sport’s Olympic debut at London 2012 while Katie Taylor delivered Ireland its first gold of the Games on Thursday. In the first of three women’s finals at the ExCel centre, Adams outboxed China’s Ren Cancan in the 51 kilogramme flyweight division. Adams had three-time world champion Ren on the canvas midway through the second round with a left and right combination on her way to a comprehensive 16-7 points win. “It’s a dream come true. I am so happy and overwhelmed with joy right now,” said Adams, who had twice lost in world championship finals to Ren. “I have wanted this all my life and I have done it.” Urged on by a huge Irish contingent in the 10,000-strong crowd, Taylor gave Ireland its first boxing gold since Michael Carruth at Barcelona 1992 with victory over Russia’s Sofya Ochigava by a 10-8 scoreline.

Naresh --

Starting now, we can expect even more wealthy, right-wing ideologues lining up to support the Romney-Ryan ticket.

The people on the other side who are trying to buy this election are putting nasty, deceptive TV ads on the air right this very minute. They're not going away. They're getting worse.

If we don't do what we can to keep this close, right now at this crucial moment, we risk letting the other side run away with it.

If you're thinking about making a donation to the campaign, please don't wait -- donate $3 or more today, and let's win this together.

Every single day from now until Election Day matters. At the end of it, we'll all ask ourselves if we did everything we could to make sure that we are able to keep fighting for change.

I know how I want to answer that question. I hope you're with me -- because we're up against the kind of outside spending never seen before in modern politics.

And without people like you, this could get to be a pretty lopsided fight.

November 6th will be here sooner than we think. Donate $3 or more today:

Joe

Attack on any faith an attack on American freedom: Obama

Condemning the recent attack on a Gurdwara in Wisconsin that left six Sikhs dead, US President Barack Obama has said attack on any faith is an attack on the freedom of all Americans and such acts have no place in the American society.

"The attack on Americans of any faith is an attack on the freedom of all Americans. No American should ever have to fear for their safety in their place of worship. Every American has the right to practice their faith both openly and freely, and as they choose," Obama said on the sidelines of the Iftar dinner hosted by him at the White House.

Asserting that the perpetrators of such "despicable" acts can never come good over the "compassion, goodness and strength of the united American family," Obama reiterated such acts of violence had "no place" in US society.

"Tonight, our prayers, in particular, are with our friends and fellow Americans in the Sikh community. We mourn those who were senselessly murdered and injured in their place of worship," Obama said, stressing that the US was committed to defend its universal right to freedom of religion.

The US President appreciated the "extraordinary courage" shown by Muslim women during the recent Arab Spring.

He also praised Huma Abedin, a former White House employee and presently an aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, terming her a "good friend" and an "American patriot".

Prominent among those who attended the the fourth Iftar dinner hosted by Obama included Ambassadors from various countries including Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh.

However Indian Ambassador to the US Nirupama Rao, unlike her predecessor Meera Shankar, was not among the attendees.
