---+ For guilt-free cheese try Yaks !

<table><td align=top>
<b> FOND of cheese but depressed about it's high level of saturated fats ? Now there's a healthier alternative: yak cheese ! </b>
<br>
Mamun Or-Rashdie at the University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada, and colleagues compared the fatty-acid content of cheese
made from a Nepalese yak's milk and a standard Canadian cheddar. <br>
They found that the yak cheese had a lower overall fat content and compared with cow's milk cheese,
contained much higher levels of hearth-healthly "good fats" such as conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) and omega-3 fatty acids 
<i>(Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, DOI:10.1021/jf0725225). </i>
<br><br>
Some of the difference is due to the yak's diet of pasture grasses and shurbs, which gives their milk a better fatty-acid profile
than that from anilmals raised on industrial grain-based feed. However, the yak cheese had even higher levels of these
beneficial fats than pastured-fed cattle, says Or-Rashid. And, he adds, it tastes good, with delicate flavour.
<br><br>
Though yaks are not common dairy animals outside the Himalayan highlands, Or-Rashid suggests cold-climate farmers elsewhere might 
like try them out.

---+ Recently  discovered cave drawings shed new light on YAIM's past

<table><td  valign=top >

<b> Professor S. W. Irwin - leading archeologist of a T2 university - says he has
found unquestionable proofs for a much earlier existence of the special yak race </b>
<i> Yodipus yodiensis </i>.  <b>The discovery of new cave drawings dates back the 
beginning of the Yak's history by more than <a href=http://www.10000bcmovie.com/ > 10.000 years</a> - an uncredible jump in
archeology which immediately raises up a lot of new mysterious questions to be
answered by forthcoming scientific research.</b>

<br>

After a search of more than 2 years S.W. Irwin says he has found an
important  message from the past. The message dates back to an ancient
era, - a time well before the <a href=https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/LCG/GenericInstallGuide301#The_Classic_SE> <b><i>Classic SE</i></b></a>  or the <a href=http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3820.txt><b><i>plain grid proxy</i></b></a>  - and was 
apparently written in a <a href=http://hep-proj-grid-fabric.web.cern.ch/hep-proj-grid-fabric/documentation/lcfgng-server73.html><b><i>pre-LCFGng</i></b></a>  dialect, but clearly shows how the Yak
was influencing the distributed efforts of the community of that time.

<i>"I had to keep my breath for several seconds, when I discovered the drawing" </i>- professor
S.W. Irwin said.  

<i> "We have to re-evaluate the influence of the ancient civilizations on
our community and clarify the missing pieces of the 10.000 years long history suddenly  passed.
This should be <a href=https://gus.fzk.de/ws/ticket_info.php?ticket=28775&from=search><b>top priority !</b></i></a>" - he continued.

Some of the colleagues of the professor expressed strong criticism concerning his work, criticism which may or may not be valid ,  but finally the scientific community arrived 
to a consensus that the work has to be continued...
