— Karthik Ramakrishnan, who spent the past 14 years at Amazon where he helped develop the company’s AI strategy, has taken a VP role within the Data Cloud organization at Google Cloud.

“We are entering the ‘Agentic Era,’ and my focus is helping this world-class team build the autonomous data platform of the future,” Ramakrishnan wrote on LinkedIn. “I can’t wait to dive back into the ‘hard things’ and see what we can build together next.”

Ramakrishnan helped launch Amazon Alexa and develop the Amazon Nova foundation models. “My work at Amazon spanned the full evolution from conversational AI to multi-modal AGI,” he notes on his LinkedIn profile. Before joining Amazon in 2012, Ramakrishnan spent three years at Microsoft following the company’s acquisition of Tellme Networks, where he was a senior platform engineer. He started at Google in September.

Last month, Rohit Prasad, the executive who led Amazon’s AI initiatives and overseen the creation of its homegrown Nova AI models, left the Seattle-based company.

In a memo sent Dec. 17, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy named Peter DeSantis, a 27-year company veteran and top cloud infrastructure executive, to lead a new organization that combines its Nova and model research teams with custom silicon and quantum computing.

Amazon last month unveiled its Nova 2 models at its annual re:Invent conference. The company is attempting to close the gap with AI rivals including OpenAI and Google in the race to develop increasingly capable AI systems.

— C.J. Mahoney, a corporate vice president and top legal executive at Microsoft, joined Meta as its new chief legal officer. Axios first reported the move.

Mahoney spent the past five years at Microsoft, first as a deputy general counsel focused on international trade and Azure, then later as a corporate vice president and general counsel for product, services, and go-to-market legal. He previously was a deputy U.S. trade representative from 2018 to 2020 during President Trump’s first term.

Mahoney replaces Jennifer Newstead, who departed for the general counsel role at Apple.

Microsoft promoted longtime exec Jonathan Palmer to chief legal officer in September, following the departure of Hossein Nowbar, who is at ServiceNow as president and chief legal officer.

Instructions

1. Trim ribs and remove membrane. Apply light coat of hot sauce for a binder and season well with Killer Hogs Hot Rub.
2. Prepare pit for smoking at 275°F using hickory wood for smoke flavor. I used my Outlaw stick burner pit but any smoker/indirect grilll will work just keep the temp steady at 275°F.
3. Place the ribs on the pit and smoke for 2 hours. Spritz with water if the outside starts to look dry after an hour in the smoke.
4. Make the rib wrap liquid – combine brown sugar, apple juice, hot honey, and vinegar sauce in a glass measuring cup. Microwave for 3 1/2 minutes and allow to cool at room temp.
5. To wrap the ribs remove each slab from the pit; use a double layer of aluminum foil; place the ribs meat side down on the foil, add 1/2 cup of wrap liquid to each slab; place 1 stick of the butter over the top; and close the foil around the ribs.
6. Place the ribs back on the pit and cook for 1 1/2 hours or until tender. Internal temp should be around 202-205°F.
7. Rest the ribs in a dry cooler for 1 hour before glazing.
8. To glaze: place each rack on a foil covered raised cooling rack meat side down; dust with a little Hot Rub and place back on the pit for 5 minutes; brush with The BBQ Sauce and cook for 7 additional minutes. Flip the ribs over and dust the meat side with Hot Rub and return to the pit for 5 minutes. Brush the meat side with The BBQ Sauce and drizzle with Hot Honey; blend the honey in with the bbq sauce and return to the pit for 7 additional minutes to set.
9. Cut the slabs into individual bone pieces and serve.

Milk is not one of my favorite drinks. I always disliked a cup of milk whether you add sweetness to it or not. So, when I was little my mum devised a few clever ways to make me have some. The one that I did not put up much of a fight with was for the warm cup of cardamom milk during the cooler months. As the slow autumn chill is coming through here currently, I had a sudden urge to try this elaichi doodh back again.

What is cardamom milk?

Cardamom milk is an excellent winter warm drink where steamed or boiled milk is infused with the aroma and flavour of cardamom. This elevates it from just being a drink to a copy dessert like feeling. It is also the same recipe called as cardamom moon milk.

Ingredients to make elaichi doodh

Milk: classic elaichi doodh used full cream milk. However, it is up to you to use skim, lactose free or half and half milk or plant milk like soy or oat. Ensure you have a thick bottomed pan to boil it in.

Cardamom: green cardamom pods are the ones used in the recipe. When you buy them,ensure they look deep sage green or slate green and are so fragrant as soon as you open the pack. The skin is discarded (use in curries or to make tea) and  the seeds are ground to add to the milk.

Sweetener: this can be entirely your choice. Honey, cane sugar, stevia, monk fruit or add none if you prefer it that way.

Let’s make cardamom milk

Making cardamom milk is as simple as slow boiling the milk and stirring in the cardamom powder and sweetener .

• Remove the seeds from the cardamom pods.
• Crush them well.
• Slow boil the milk till it is bubbly and frothy.
• Stir in the cardamom and remove from heat.
• Stir in the sweetener. If using honey, wait till the milk cools down a bit.
• Pour into cups and serve warm.

Will cardamom milk induce sleep?

Cardamom as a spice  is a soothing relaxant. Along with milk that is well known for inducing sleep the Cardamom milk combination makes it and excellent combination. It certainly is not a remedy for sleeplessness. 

Can elaichi milk be vegan?

If you are following this recipe with soy milk, oat milk etc,  the recipe naturally becomes vegan, however you don’t want honey in the recipe.

Can we serve this chillied?

Absolutely, pop them into small bottles and leave them in thr refrigerator. If using UHT milk, it will stay for almost a week with no issues.

4 Benefits Of Honey

Honey is a thick sweet, syrupy golden color liquid made by honeybees using the nectar of flowering plants. Honeybees collect pollen and nectar from the flowering plants that they pollinate and transport it back to the hive for worker bees to process. Eventually, with the help of enzymes provided by the worker bees, the nectar ripens into honey and can be harvested for consumption. More than 300 varieties of honey are present worldwide that may vary in color, odor, and taste.

The physical properties of honey totally depend on the flower. Honey contains about 80% of sugar as well as a mixture of amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and many more nutrients. It has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties as well.

Benefits of Honey

There are uncountable benefits that we receive from honey but I am listing 7 proven benefits below:

• Promotes Weight Loss
• Promotes Healthy Skin
• Treats Cold and Cough
• Boosts Energy
• Boosts Heart Health
• Improves Brain Health
• Builds Immunity

How to Use Honey for Weight Loss?

Honey plays a vital role when it comes to weight loss. I am listing down some points for better understanding-

• Honey can also be used as a substitute for white sugar in desserts and sweets.
• One of the best ways to consume honey for weight loss is by having a teaspoon of honey before bedtime. Doing so will help the body burn more fat during the early hours of your sleep. 
• A combination of lemon and honey works wonders. In the morning, take a glass of lukewarm water, and mix 1 tablespoon of honey along with half a lemon juice in it. Drink it every morning empty stomach to reduce belly fat.
• including cinnamon and honey in your evening green tea helps to boost metabolism, which causes more fat to burn.

How to Use Honey for Skincare?

Honey is nature’s gift to humans and we can use it to make our skin fresh and rejuvenated all the time. Here are some tips by which you can easily make your skin shine like gold:

• To clean the pores-Try mixing one spoon of raw honey with two spoons of jojoba oil or coconut oil. Apply to clean, dry skin, and massage gently in a circular motion, avoiding your eye area. Rinse with cold water.
• Mix one-part raw honey with two parts pure Aloe Vera gel. Apply gently to sunburnt skin.
• Mix honey with milk or curd to ease out fine lines and wrinkles. Keep this paste on your face for 15 minutes and rinse it off with lukewarm water.
• Mix one tablespoon of honey with three tablespoons of filtered water. Massage a few drops of this mixture into your scalp and wash it off. 

Apart from these, honey can be used to:

• Condition your hair
• Promotes hair growth
• Lightens scars
• Brighten the skin complexion
• Adds a natural glow
• Useful in Sunburn

 

How Does Honey help in Ageing?

Organic honey can reverse the aging process by stimulating collagen production, which strengthens skin and reduces wrinkles. It is believed that this effect is caused by a natural antioxidant in the honey called gluconic acid, which inhibits the activity of enzymes that break down collagen.

How to Include Honey in Diet?

• A reputed substitute for sugar, Honey can be incorporated into our diet in various ways. Some of them are listed below:
• Use honey to sweeten your dressings
• Mix honey into cereals, oatmeals, or yogurt for a natural sweetener
• Honey-coated fruits and nuts are tummy-filling snacks for hungry evenings.
• Mixing it with milk can be proven as the best choice ever.
• Drizzle honey over the bread toast and pancakes to make it more delicious.
• Including honey in the smoothies as well makes them healthier.

With all these incredible benefits, incorporating this sweet and nutritious substance into your daily diet can work wonders for your overall health in the long run. But at the same time, it is also necessary to choose the right honey as there are many adulterations available in the market.

 

Many companies are selling sugar in the name of honey, so it is best to choose the correct honey. In childhood, I was using the raw honey which my grandfather used to bring for us from the forests. But In today’s time, it is quite difficult to get but not impossible. There are several ways by which you can easily identify the purity of honey.
