  GAUHATI, India (AP) The Indian military has a new weapon against terrorism: the world's hottest chili. After conducting tests, the military has decided to use the thumb-sized "bhut jolokia," or "ghost chili," to make tear gas-like hand grenades to immobilize suspects, defense officials said Tuesday. The bhut jolokia was accepted by Guinness World Records in 2007 as the world's spiciest chili. It is grown and eaten in India's northeast for its taste, as a cure for stomach troubles and a way to fight the crippling summer heat. It has more than 1,000,000 Scoville units, the scientific measurement of a chili's spiciness. Classic Tabasco sauce ranges from 2,500 to 5,000 Scoville units, while jalapeno peppers measure anywhere from 2,500 to 8,000. "The chili grenade has been found fit for use after trials in Indian defense laboratories, a fact confirmed by scientists at the Defense Research and Development Organization," Col. R. Kalia, a de...

Washington, March 21 (ANI): In a new study, Northeastern earth and environmental sciences Professor Jennifer Cole has discussed what causes earthquakes and how one natural disaster can lead to another. As to what causes earthquakes, Cole says that they result from the movement of tectonic plates. As tectonic plates slide past each other, energy builds up in the rocks until they can no longer hold the stress. This causes failure in the form of breaking rocks, sending energy waves outward. The earthquakes in Haiti, China, Japan, and Chile all happened because of this series of events. Glaciers may also cause earthquakes. During the last glacial period, the ice sheet was up to 2.5 miles thick. This pushed down on the Earth's crust, causing a depression. When the weight was lifted due to glacial melting, the depressed crust began to stick-slip on its way back to the pre-depressed elevation. In addition, humans can cause earthquakes by damming rivers, creating a reservoir ...

For foreign universities, which haven't yet recovered fully from the aftershocks of the worldwide recession, India presents, to quote a word re-introduced into the English vocabulary by Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland , a 'frabjous' opportunity. More than 100,000 students leave Indian shores annually to study at universities abroad. Their presence has made foreign universities wake up to the incontrovertible fact that there's another 'creamy layer' below these students abroad whose families are prepared to pay upwards of Rs 2.5 lakh a year for quality education. Profs debate Foreign Univ Bill What foreign universities Bill can't do International students are the economic mainstay of foreign universities, but these institutions are not in a position to meet the demand for the education they provide on their own campuses back home. This untapped market makes the business of overseas campuses that much more lucrative. For over a decade, foreign univer...

Fuel prices are getting dearer by the day but are we getting every drop of fuel paid for? Well, if the outpouring of woes online is any indicator, then no, we have a long way to go to prevent being cheated at fuel stations. These are some who have realized the bluff, though may not have taken the outlet to task - but there are many others who aren't aware of such nefarious deeds. Hence the possibility of them getting duped is even more likely, and often repeatedly. So as customers, how can we ensure we aren't at the receiving end of this trickery? What are the precautions that need to be taken and how do we get our grievances addressed? Here's more- Precautions Keep a keen eye on YOUR fuel pump - especially in the beginning and just before the end of the fill. Avoid all distractions - it's indeed a blessing that cell phones aren't allowed in fuel stations. Other distractions like your car stereo or balancing your 2-wheeher can be avoided too. M...

A potent new drug derived from bananas may open the door to new ways to prevent sexual transmission of HIV. Scientists have found that lectins - a set of naturally occurring chemicals in plants - can halt the chain of reaction that leads to a variety of infections. In lab tests, BanLec, the lectin found in bananas, was found to be as potent as two current anti-HIV drugs. It may become a less expensive new component of applied vaginal microbicides, according to new findings published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry . Scientists have been looking for new ways of stopping the spread of HIV. The rate of new infections is outpacing the rate of new individuals getting anti-retroviral drugs, scientists said. It appears an effective vaccine could still be years away. Although condom use is effective, they are most successful in preventing infection if used consistently and correctly, which is often not the case. "In settings where women have limited control over sexual matters, a...

Harvard prof David Bloom says only proper policies will yield demographic dividend youth power that translates to wealth. The greater the number of earning youth, more the savings, faster the economic growth, higher the per capita income and quicker the reduction of poverty, said David Bloom, professor of economics and demography at Harvard University. Speaking at the India Today Conclave 2010, he said the lessons learnt from the Chinese and East Asian - Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong and South Korea - success stories could become the mantra for India's economic growth provided its youth power was properly harnessed. He told the audience, which included a very attentive Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi, that India's growing population, always considered a bane, can be the engine for economic growth that could last a good 30 years. The Bloom formula to achieve this is to equip the enormous pool of workers - the population in the age group of 15 to 65 - available in India...
