Almonds offer great nutrition and are linked with a number of potential health benefits for a varied diet. Almonds have been linked with a number of health benefits and are regularly recommended as an addition to a healthy and balanced diet by dietitians. Almonds are also the most popular nuts in the United States. A favorite of dieters, in recent years almonds have become famous for their versatility and health benefits. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture(opens in new tab), Americans' demand for almonds has increased over 500% since 1980.

BMW and Mclaren will develop electric cars together

 Electrification is emerging as a very expensive and complicated future to face in such a short time as European leaders intend, forcing manufacturers to look for partners to work with and thus share expenses. By reducing expenses, they will also be able to reduce prices and be more competitive, in an industry that is becoming more expensive every day and fewer cars are sold (although some earn more…). It is therefore not surprising that McLaren has sought a partner for the creation of a new electric sports car, a partner that appears to be none other than BMW. It’s not official, at least not yet, but the two companies are reportedly in talks about jointly developing an electric supercar and a four-seater GT.

 KOLKATA: Sacked Bengal minister Partha Chatterjee Sunday disowned the almost Rs 50-crore cash stash seized from two apartments of his “close associate” Arpita Mukherjee with a dramatic “amar noy, amar noy, amar noy (not mine, not mine, not mine)”. The denial, coming eight days since his arrest by the Enforcement Directorate, invited an immediate retort from Trinamool Congress, of which he was secretary general until last Thursday. “What took him so long to say this?” party spokesperson Kunal Ghosh said. “When he first had the opportunity, why didn’t he say that this was a conspiracy, and the money wasn’t his? At this rate, he might even say he doesn’t know who Partha Chatterjee is. Or maybe that he doesn’t know Arpita Mukherjee" Around 1.50pm at the ESI Hospital in Joka, Chatterjee had just alighted from an ED vehicle when a reporter asked him about the ownership of the crores that had been seized from Arpita’s flats. “Shomoy elei bujhe jaben (You will know when the time comes),”
