Eating in Japan | Travel + Leisure

Image
People think Japan is all about the sushi and ramen, but there’s more that goes into the way the country eats and plans meals. Ramen is one of Japan’s fast foods: Cheap, greasy, and favored by students after a night of drinking, but it’s not taken very seriously. Sushi is popular, but it’s not an everyday eat. Tempura, beef, sukiyaki? Also not everyday foods. We looked to a few of the country’s top chefs and experts to find out what is more common. They talked about how they compose a plate, how much their daily diet adheres to the Zen principles of presenting five colors, five flavors, and five ways of cooking at each meal, and in what ways the culture of food is changing there, given the rise of interest in Western culture. Whether dining out or as a guest in a home, on your next trip, you’ll know how to eat like a local. Chef Kenichiro Ooe, chef of Kozue , at the Park-Hyatt Tokyo “Presentation, which we call moritsuke, is key. On a Japanese plate, for example, y...

10 Facts About Black Holes You Didn’t Know

Image
A black hole is  a region of space time with a very strong gravitational force that even the light cannot escape from the inside of a black hole. Black hole can as big as millions of sun together or as small as a atom. Here is a list of 10 crazy facts about black holes. 1. Black holes decide the number of stars in the galaxies Source Some scientists believe, the number of stars in the universe are limited by the number of black holes in our universe. 2. Laws of physics don’t work at the center of a black hole Source According to some theories, a black hole is crush matter to infinite density. When this happens, the laws of physics break down because it is not possible to conceive of anything with a zero volume & infinite density. 3. Any matter like Iron can become a black hole Source Most people believe that stars are the only things that can convert into black holes. If your car were shrunk down to a infinite sm...

Why do gangsters hold their guns sideways?

Image
Holding a handgun high and sideways is commonly used by stick up kids, the thugs who rob convenience stores. Experienced stick up kids hold the gun sideways when robbing a convenience store because it's easier to point downward at someone standing behind a counter. If they cower behind the register or duck to the floor behind the counter, all you have to do is raise the arm up and point the gun down. Try keeping the gun pointed at someone ducking behind the counter while you have locked elbows and an upright gun. I guarantee you'll find that it's much harder. It's not impossible, but in a robbery situation where seconds count, you would waste valuable seconds trying to readjust. Another reason is that most thugs hold their guns in their beltlines. When they pull out their guns, they're already sideways. Sometimes when they aim they just keep the gun sideways.   Yes, holding a gun sideways is terrible for accuracy. But for stick up kids, accuracy is...

What are 10 reasons why it is best to marry a software engineer compared to someone from other professions?

11 Tweaks to Your Morning Routine Will Make Your Entire Day More Productive

Image
IMAGE: Getty Images I don't know anyone who couldn't use a little boost in energy and self-control. Researchers at the University of Nottingham recently published findings from their exploration of 83 studies on energy and self-control. What they found will change the way you start your day. The researchers found that self-control and energy are not only intricately linked but also finite, daily resources that tire much like a muscle. Even though we don't always realize it, as the day goes on, we have increased difficulty exerting self-control and focusing on our work. As self-control wears out, we feel tired and find tasks to be more difficult and our mood sours. This exhaustion of self-control kills your productivity, and it makes the morning hours, when self-control is highest, the most important hours of the day. But the trick isn't just to spend your morning hours working. It's to do the right things in the morning that will make your energy and self-cont...

Your spine is at high risk of getting hurt due to constant texting. Your head weighs up to ten to twelve pounds and tilting it to look at your smartphone screen for various uses such as using Facebook, Sending a text or browsing can increase the force of gravitation on the skull.

5 Things Every Actor Needs to Land Theatrical Representation

Image
    Whether you are just getting started in the entertainment industry, or you are a seasoned talent with great training and credits on your resume, here are 5 things every actor needs to land theatrical representation. First, let us simply recognize the sheer number of actors who are competing for roles in today’s market. Prior to the boon of social media, the system for getting oneself on the radars of casting directors was much more physically involved, and because of that process, casting directors might only receive (at most) a few hundred submissions for roles. Today, with the accessibility of social media and online casting sites, the number of actors competing for roles has increased ten fold. In fact, a client of mine (a producer) recently had three roles to cast in a short film project, and for each role, over 1,000 submissions were received. That’s 3,000+ submissions for a short film project. This brings up the all-important question and ...

11 Things You Didn't Know About Edgar Allan Poe

Image
On October 7, lovers of the mysterious and the melancholy mourn the death of Edgar Allan Poe. As is appropriate for the man who invented the detective story, he died 164 years ago under baffling circumstances. Scholarly debate still rages as to why he was found, four days before his death, delirious and in borrowed clothes, in Baltimore, Maryland, far from his home in New York City. Theories as to the cause of his demise range from alcoholism to rabies. (I personally throw my lot with meningitis.) If the death of America's most instantly recognizable poet remains enigmatic, what about his life? How much do we really know about Poe? Was he the chillingly murderous madman of so many of his tales, as well as a spectacular drunk? If not, who was he? These very questions drove me to write my novel, "MRS. POE" (Gallery Books/Simon & Schuster.) To understand Poe, I slipped back in time to 1845 New York City, the year and place that he wrote his most ...

A Furry Diving Suit Could Keep You Warm

Image
Forget sleek wetsuits — fur coats might one day help keep divers warm under water. Whereas dolphins and whales rely on thick blubber to help keep warm in cold water, fur seals and sea otters depend on dense fur to trap a layer of air against their bodies. Since air does not conduct heat as well as water, air layers can insulate against heat loss. Now mechanical engineer Alice Nasto at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have created artificial mimics of such fur to see how these hairs protect these seafaring creatures. "Our research group studies a lot of biologically inspired fluid mechanics problems, such as how snails use slime for locomotion, or how water striders walk on water," Nasto says. The researchers used laser-cut acrylic molds to fabricate hairy surfaces made of silicone rubber. They next experimented with the effects that hair properties such as hair length and hair spacing had when these materials were plunged at precise speeds int...
