ORNL devises recipe to fine-tune diameter of silica rods
14 hours ago

By controlling the temperature of silica rods as they grow, researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory could be setting the stage for advances in anti-reflective solar cells, computer monitors, TV screens, eye glasses and more.

The goal of fabricating fixed-size one-dimensional silica structures and being able to precisely control the diameter during growth has long eluded scientists. Now, Panos Datskos and Jaswinder Sharma have demonstrated what they describe as the addressable local control of diameter of each segment of the silica rod.

"In nature, many intricate structures develop and grow in response to their environments," said Sharma, a Wigner Fellow and corresponding author of the Angewandte Chemie International Edition paper that outlines the process. "For example, in addition to genotype, shell shape is also controlled by the local environment in many oysters and scallops."

Taking a cue from nature, by manipulating the during growth, Sharma and co-author Datskos were able to control thickness while retaining control of each segment of the rod separately.

When the researchers increased growth temperatures, the segment diameter became smaller. By increasing incubation times, they obtained longer segments at the same temperature. Higher temperatures for the same incubation time produced longer segments of the glass-like silica rods.

It appears that the correlation between temperature and diameter is a result of the relationship between temperature and the size of the emulsion droplet, according to the authors, who discovered that the higher the , the smaller the emulsion droplet.

The researchers envision this finding leading to further opportunities that require vertically aligned arrays of silica rods for gradually changing a refractive index on a large scale. The paper, titled "Synthesis of Segmented Silica Rods by Regulation of the Growth Temperature," is available at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/anie.201308140/full.

<b>Recipe</b>: Chocolate Orange Oatmeal Cookies

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 12:37 AM PST

Makes approximately 30 cookies

INGREDIENTS:
2 sticks room temperature, unsalted butter
1 1/3 cups lightly packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
3 cups quick cooking oats
1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips
2 Tbs grated orange zest

PROCEDURE:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Use a large mixing bowl to cream 2 sticks of room temperature unsalted butter with 1 1/3 lightly packed cups of light brown sugar.

Then add 2 large eggs and 1 tsp vanilla and mix that until it's well incorporated.

Then add 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp salt, add 3 cups quick cooking oats, 1 cup bittersweet chocolate chips 2 Tbs of grated orange zest and mix to combine.

Divide the dough onto two baking trays, you'll end up with about 30 cookies total, and press them down a bit and place the trays into the preheated 350 degree oven.

They'll take somewhere between 15 to maybe 18 minutes to bake and you'll want to switch the trays from top to bottom halfway through.

When they're done, transfer them to cookie cooling racks to cool down.

MISSI ROTI <b>RECIPE</b> | EASY INDIAN DINNER <b>RECIPES</b> | RAK&#39;S <b>...</b>

Posted: 17 Dec 2013 12:27 AM PST

missi-roti-besan-roti  
I had missi roti for the first time in the restaurant Mirchi at Esplanade, here in Singapore. Its one of my favorite restaurants and when ever we go to Raffles side, I will try to have dinner in this restaurant. Have been there for some 4-5 times so far with friends and families. And being a great fan of north Indian food, I would everytime wish to taste different menu that I have never heard or tasted. But only if someone shares with me, I will be comfortable in trying new things. Otherwise I cant finish the dish. That day when I tried it also I alone ordered for a missi roti. But it was too big that I could not finish it. But it was tasting great. I could really guess the ingredients….But wait, the key ingredients were mentioned in the menu card itself! So I could actually, relate the ingredients while eating. After so long, I was really craving for this missi roti, But Vj being busy, I cant ask him to take me to Mirchi restaurant, so I thought of referring here and try it out at home. And I did and enjoyed fully my self for lunch and dinner too. It is perfect dinner recipe and easy too.

missi-roti

Recipe Cuisine: Indian  |  Recipe Category: Dinner
Prep Time: 15 mins    |  Cook time: 15 mins   Makes: 5

Ingredients


Gram flour/ Besan/ Kadalai mavu  1 cup, leveled 
Wheat flour  1/2 cup, heaped 
Ginger, chopped  2 tsp 
Green chilli  1 
Pepper powder  1/2 tsp 
Onion  1 chopped 
Jeera  1 tsp 
Turmeric  1/8 tsp 
Amchoor powder  1 tsp 
Asafoetida  2 pinches 
Coriander leaves, chopped  1 tblsp 
Oil  2 tblsp 
Oil & salt  As needed 

 

Method

  1. Mix all the ingredients except salt. Add water and make a stiff dough. Keep covered for 15 minutes.1-sieve
  2. Knead again to make the dough smooth and divide into 5 equal sized balls.2-knead
  3. Roll out into slightly thicker than usual roti with generous maida flour. Cook over hot tawa with oil or ghee smeared on both sides, until golden brown spots appear. You can use the spatula to gently press the roti while cooking for even cooking.3-cook

Notes

  • The original recipe used anardhana seeds powder. I used amchoor powder as I had no stock of anardhana.
  • I used ginger and asafoetida as I felt I tasted those in the one I had in the restaurants.

Comes out soft and crispy too, stays soft even after sometime. Goeas well with any raita and pickle.

Nigella&#39;s amazing <b>recipe</b> for spending

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 11:07 PM PST

YOU wouldn't want to be doing your weekly shop in leafy London, missus, not with the price of potatoes being what it is.

When celebrity cook Nigella Lawson was still in her former marital home, she had a credit card exclusively for the housekeeping.

A very sensible arrangement, except her household needed six cards, one each for Nigella and her five female aides.

Charles Saatchi, Nigella's hubby before their bitter divorce, paid off the cards every month by direct debit.

Again, entirely prudent. You don't become a multi-millionaire art dealer by running up unnecessary and costly interest charges.

But the card statements were supposedly never checked, by anybody.

Mr Saatchi's accountant said it wasn't for him to say how much Nigella should spend on "potatoes or dry cleaning".

Well, it turned out "potatoes and dry cleaning" cost up to £100,000-a-month. Total spending on all six cards reached £1.2million a year.

This fly on the wall peek into how the rich live was exposed in the trial of two of those aides.

The Grillo sisters - Elisabetta, 41, and Francesca, 36 - deny using their cards without authorisation to indulge in a few luxuries, such as designer clothes, flights, five-star hotel stays, and beauty treatments.

But they were challenged on their little luxuries only after their collective spending from 2008 to 2012 topped an eye-watering £685,000.

Even David Cameron has been rebuked by the trial judge for announcing he was on Team Nigella, and a "massive fan". Look out for another PM selfie soon, with the Domestic Goddess.

Reality? The Grillos, confronted over their alleged spree, complained they were "being treated worse than Filipino slaves".

So what does that, and the whole Lawson-Saatchi saga with its talk of millions and cocaine binges, tell us about the lifestyle of the rich during chronic austerity?

Well, for a start, the housekeeping doesn't include saving up Morrisons Christmas points to get forty quid cashback.

It did include £24,866 for 21 flower deliveries, £2240 on Ralph Lauren bedding, £55,000 on Donna Karan clothes, more than £2250 on cashmere jumpers, and around £18,000 on an 80th birthday bash for Nigella's old man, the former chancellor Nigel Lawson. And so much more.

An aide took the couple's three kids on 14 holidays in three years, staying in five-star hotels and taking up to 12 friends at a time, and the kids' VIP tickets to Glastonbury cost £10,564.

How does such wealth affect children?

Do they grow up with a sense of entitlement about their place in society?

Will they have any empathy for ordinary folk?

In saying that, is a sense of entitlement not exactly what's bred in kids born into a family culture of benefits and hand-outs?

"Affluenza", they call it in America, the misconception that having money solves every problem.

TEXAS rich kid Ethan Couch, 16, was three times over the drink-drive limit when he killed four people, including a mother and daughter.

Last week he faced up to 20 years in jail, but his lawyers and psychologists argued it wasn't his fault.

They blamed his wealthy parents — and the judge gave him 10 years' probation.

Couch was ordered to stay away from his parents and undergo long-term alcohol rehab - at £250,000-a-year, with daddy paying.

Call it what you will, but abuse of wealth, of position, drives us daft.

Is it envy, seeing folk with more than you have?

Or is it disdain, convincing yourself you would spend that dosh much more responsibly?

Are we to assume that anyone attacking inequality in Britain today - the excesses of the wealthy, the London-centric policies of a millionaire cabinet, the fat cat tax dodgers - is envious?

Is it not about fairness?

Shrinks claim that endless exposure to the rich and famous, the cult of personality that makes reality TV stars out of halfwits, makes Facebook users jealous and depressed.

I suggest they quit Facebook, then.

However, folk do delight in the rich and famous appearing no happier than them, and looking the same emotional wrecks.

They're human after all.

But they'll never know the price of potatoes.

'TIS the season to be jolly well potty. Take Megyn Kelly, a presenter on America's Fox News. She's sparked a national storm by telling her TV audience: "For all you kids watching, Jesus was a white man. That's a verifiable fact, as is Santa."

And Church of England vicar Simon Tatton-Brown had to apologise after telling primary school kids in Wiltshire that Father Christmas doesn't exist.

Calm down, people, they're imaginary - though I believe the tooth fairy is now in hiding.
