Gambooge is grown for its fruit in southeast Asia, coastal Karnataka/Kerala, India and west and central Africa. It thrives in most moist forests. Gambooge is one of several closely related Garcinia species from the plant family Guttiferae.[1] With thin skin and deep vertical lobes, the fruit of G. cambogia and related species range from about the size of an orange to that of a grapefruit; G. cambogia looks more like a small yellowish, greenish or sometimes reddish pumpkin.[2] The color can vary considerably. When the rinds are dried and cured in preparation for storage and extraction, they are dark brown or black in color. Along the west coast of South India, G. cambogia is popularly termed "Malabar tamarind," and shares culinary uses with the tamarind (Tamarindus indica). The latter is a small and the former a quite large evergreen tree. G. cambogia is also called "Goraka" or, in some areas, simply "Kattcha puli" (souring fruit). G. cambogia is used primarily in cooking, including in the preparation of curries. The fruit rind and extracts of Garcinia species are called for in many traditional recipes. In the Indian Ayurvedic medicine, "sour" flavors are said to activate digestion.[3] G. cambogia is employed commercially in fish curing, especially in Ceylon (Colombo curing), and various species of Garcinia are used similarly in food preparation in Assam (India), Thailand, Malaysia, Burma and other Southeast Asian countries. The trees can be found in forested areas and also are protected in plantations otherwise given over to pepper, spice and coffee production. In the areas in which it is consumed, G. cambogia is considered to be effective in making meals more "filling." The "Colombo curing" of fish is a commercial enterprise of fish preservation typical of South India which makes use of the antibacterial qualities of the fruit. ("Colombo curing" is especially associated with the island nation of Ceylon/Sri Lanka. - Fish "Ambul Thiyal") Assam fruit is an essential souring ingredient in the Southern Thai variant of kaeng som, a sour curry. The extract and rind of Garcinia cambogia is a curry condiment in India.
law took effect, and the U.S. attorney's office for Kansas released it Thursday."Kansas may not prevent federal employees and officials from carrying out their official responsibilities," Holder wrote in his letter. "And a state certainly may not criminalize the exercise of federal responsibilities."Patricia Stoneking, president of the Kansas State Rifle Association, said gun rights supporters were prepared for such a response from President Barack Obama's administration. The president has sought new gun control measures since December's deadly mass elementary school shooting in Newtown, Conn.The Republican governor is a gun rights supporter, and the measure passed the GOP-dominated Legislature by wide margins. Kobach also is a Republican."I think the people of Kansas are going to back this up," Stoneking said. "Probably thousands of grass-roots citizens are all in."Brownback said in his letter to Holder: "The right to keep and bear arms is a right that Kansans hold dear."The governor added, "The people of Kansas have repeatedly and overwhelmingly reaffirmed their commitment to protecting this fundamental right."The Kansas law is modeled on a 2009 Montana law that is being reviewed by a federal appeals court, and Alaska lawmakers approved a similar measure last month. Alabama, Missouri and Oklahoma lawmakers are considering similar legislation.Supporters of the Kansas law softened it to say that federal agents wouldn't be arrested or

In the video, the weapon penetrating the ground within inches of its target, then detonates underground, according to people who have seen the footage.The new and improved MOP, has adjusted fuses to maximize its burrowing power, upgraded guidance systems to improve its precision and high-tech equipment intended to allow it to evade Iranian air defenses in order to reach and destroy the Fordow nuclear enrichment complex, which is buried under a mountain near the Iranian city of Qom. The upgraded MOP designed for Fordow hasn't been dropped from a plane yet.Iran's Fordow Uranium Enrichment Facility, built under a mountain near the city of Qom, has long been seen as a nearly impenetrable target using conventional weapons. In January 2012, U.S. officials said didn't think their largest bomb could penetrate the bunker where centrifuges enrich the material needed for nuclear bombs.According to the website of defense contractor and maker Boeing, the MOP includes a GPS navigation system and more than 5,300 pounds of explosives. It measures 20 feet long and is designed specifically to attack hardened concrete bunkers and tunnel facilities.In March, Pentagon officials are spoke publicly about the MOP bombs, which are from Boeing and designed to fit exclusively with the B-2 and
