---+ 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. <br><br> <i>(New Scientists 22.03.2008, p.18)</i> <td align=top> <img src="%ATTACHURL%/Yak-milking.jpg"> <center> <i>Yak milking somewhere in the Himalayas.. </i> </center> </table> ---+ 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... <a align=right> <i> Yak Scientific - 18, march, 2008 </i> </a> <td valign=top align=center> <img src=%ATTACHURL%/yodiensis.jpg width=400> <br> <i> The recently discoverd cave drawings - beginning of a new past ? </i> </table>
