Vitamin E and Me !

Vitamin E refers to a group of compounds that include both tocopherols and tocotrienols.

The fat soluble vitamins are soluble in lipids (fats). Vitamin E falls into this category.

My favorite sources of Vitamin E are some exotic foods like -

* Sunflower seed Oil (that amazing flower whose seeds obey the Fibonacci sequence)
* Spinach (made famous by Popeye the Sailor man)
* Kiwifruit (in no way related to a certain flightless bird !)

The key benefit of Vitamin E to me is related to it's antioxidant (ability to combat free radicals) properties, and the rest follows -

* glowing skin
* less wrinkles
* good muscle tone
* positive sex drive 😄

and

* overall fitness

The daily requirement of this Vitamin is 20mg. I make this up from the above sources, and, in some cases through esoteric sources like broccoli and shrimp. (on holidays).

Of course, I am a non-vegetarian, and that helps !

That, pretty much, sums it up folks .... (Do I see Olive Oyl on the prowl ???) 😇

Definitely PTE

#DefinitelyPTE A Man is like a tree.  Once a tree's roots bind to the soil, it develops an identity that is integrated with it's environment.  With a Man, the logic is similar. A Man is not just domiciled to his place of origin.... He is synonymous with it . The diet, language, climate, social laws and mores become an assimilated part of his identity. Let us look at these factors one by one - 1. Diet - This is a big problem when a person relocates. If he is a vegan or vegetarian , he may not find many options to tickle his palate. Also lack of additives like spices, may make his food look unappetizing. 2. Language - Relocating to China .... Need to know Mandarin ! In many countries people are not fluent in English, and this can make life very frustrating. 3. Climate - In Europe and North America (Canada and the Northern states of the US), the weather can be inclement. (Tornadoes, Twisters etc.), particularly the Mid-West of the US. You may find it to...

Chess blogging - Chessbase is back with a bang !

In view of my keen interest in UI for applications and websites, I feel it necessary to promote an investigation of the new play-chess interface on www.chessbase.com . * It is minimalistic * Allows you to play as Guest * Allows you to choose from different time-controls * Allows you to test your skills vis-a-vis opponents from across the globe Have a look at this interface, that is impressive from a UI developers point-of-view, and very conducive for a chess player to test his wits !  Whoa !  😇😇😇
