Pasta can be healthy — but only if you cook it a specific way: ‘More chewable and digestible'
When people think of eating a healthy diet, a bowl full of pasta is not the first thing that comes to mind. However, experts say that cooking pasta a specific way can actually be better for you nutritionally. Al dente — pasta that is cooked but still has a firm bite to it — is the preferred way to cook and enjoy it among Italians. Advertisement And it not only tastes better, but according to Michelle Hauser, a clinical associate professor of surgery at Stanford Health Care, al dente pasta is 'more chewable and digestible,' she told Stanford Medicine News Center. Al dente style is how everyone should be cooking and enjoying their pasta. cherryandbees – 'Our digestion slows down, as does the absorption of the glucose contained in the starch: the result is a lower glycemic index,' the International Pasta Organization said. Advertisement When pasta is al dente, it has 'a lower glycemic index than when it's cooked to be soft,' according to U.S. News and World Report. 'A lower GI can help keep blood sugar levels stable, so you will stay fuller longer.' On the other hand, overcooked pasta is not only mushy and gross — it also 'has a greater impact on blood sugar levels than al dente pasta,' Hauser explained, which leads to a rapid release of glucose into the bloodstream. 'Your body will react to the glucose elevation by producing more insulin to metabolize it. However, the insulin rush will deplete that blood glucose within the next couple of hours….' Harvard Medical School explains. Advertisement Cooking pasta al dente requires focus and attention so you don't overcook it. New Africa – 'And you'll probably crave a high-glycemic snack, which certainly won't help with weight loss.' In addition, overcooking pasta causes the starch granules to swell and burst, which then releases its B vitamins and folate into the cooking water. The next time you want to whip up a quick pasta dish but want to cook your pasta to al dente perfection, salt water in a pot and bring it to a boil. Add pasta and set a timer according to the box's instructions, since different shapes of pasta and brands cook at different times. Stir often so the pasta doesn't clump together. Advertisement When your timer goes off, taste the pasta and if it has a little bite to it — quickly remove your pot from the heat and drain the pasta so it stops cooking immediately. Aside from cooking it correctly, if you're wondering what makes a quality pasta, Italian chef Francesco Mattana said pasta's surface should be rough and opaque. If your pasta is bright yellow — that's a red flag because the color indicates that the pasta was put through a 'violent' drying process, which isn't ideal.

A swami, a historian and the Ganga — why an American family journeyed to Patna to scatter ashes in the river
For the Hauser family, June 26, 2025, will forever be momentous. It's the day their father, the late American historian Walter Hauser, will 'join' his mentor — ascetic, peasant leader and social reformer Swami Sahajanand Saraswati. Hauser devoted almost 60 years of his life to researching Saraswati's life and ideology. Now, six years after his death, the family has travelled over 13,000 kilometres from the United States to Patna to fulfil his one wish — to scatter his ashes in the river Ganga. 'He (Hauser) would often tell us that his last wish was to have his ashes immersed in the Ganges — the river that had been very close to the Swami's socio-agrarian-cultural cause of the ascetic,' his son Michael Hauser, a professor at the Duke University, told The Indian Express as two urns — one containing Hauser's ashes and one containing his wife Rosemary's — stood on a table. While Hauser died in 2019, Rosemary died in 2001. The date of the immersion is significant – June 26 this year marks the 75th death anniversary of Saraswati, a Bihar leader credited with being instrumental in leading a movement that led to the abolition of the zamindari system in India. Patna, meanwhile, holds a special place in the heart of the Hauser family – it's where they spent a significant portion of their early life. To mark the occasion, two generations of the family – Michael, his sister Sheela, wife Elizabeth and niece Rosemary – have come down to India. Accompanying this group are two of Hauser's most prominent students, historians William R Pinch and Wendy Singer. At Patna's Gola Road – the house of Indian scholar and Hauser's close associate Kailash Chandra Jha – the seven Americans discussed Walter Hauser, the Swami and their great Indian connection. 'There's something divine about the month of June,' Michael said. 'My father was born and died in June. My mother was also born in June. Swami Sahajanand Saraswati too died in June.' Jha chimed in, 'Americans usually prefer to travel to India in the winters, but they (the Hausers) came calling in sweltering June to be part of a momentous occasion.' 'One more thing that could have brought them here in June is mangoes,' he added in jest. It was in 1957 that Walter Hauser first came to India. A scholar deeply interested in 'peasant studies', Hauser chose undivided Bihar for his thesis. What fascinated Hauser most was the peasant mobilisation in Bihar in the 1920s and 30s under Saraswati. Born as Naurang Rai in Uttar Pradesh's Ghazipur, Saraswati, who set up Shree Sitaram Ashram in Bihta near Patna, founded the Bihar Provincial Kisan Sabha (BPKS) in 1929 and spearheaded a peasant movement that culminated in the setting up of the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) in 1936. After that first visit in 1957, Hauser's travels to India became more frequent, including visits to Barhiya Tal in Bihar's Lakhisarai – the epicentre of the Barhiya Tal Bakasht Land Movement for tenancy rights in the 1930s. Despite having written his thesis on the peasant movement, Hauser was reluctant to convert it into a book, his family said. It was Kailash Chandra Jha, now chairman of the Shree Sitaram Ashram that Hauser once frequented and a historian in his own right, who finally convinced him to do so in 2018, thus leading to the publication of The Bihar Provincial Kisan Sabha 1929–1942: A Study of an Indian Peasant Movement. The same year, Hauser and Jha translated Saraswati's autobiography, Mera Jeevan Sangharsh, into English. Co-authored by Hauser and Jha, the book, My Life Struggle, has been cited as a seminal work that helped the American scholar understand and analyse Saraswati's contribution. Hauser's children, Michael and Sheela, recalled their father's stories of Saraswati's 'extraordinary fight for the ordinary men'. 'I remember how we would have meetings with Southeast Asian scholars on many Fridays. My father was so immersed in the Swami's principles that every discussion at these meetings would veer around his (Saraswati's) life and times and the lasting impact he had on the lives of common folks,' Michael, who went to primary school in Patna, said. Sheela added, 'My father's legacy has now been transferred to the third generation with my daughter Rosemary Hauser Jose.' At the mention of her name, Rosemary, who's in her early 20s, smiled and said, 'I have grown up listening to stories of Swami from my grandparents. Swami is a part of our lives now.' Hauser's students William R Pinch and Wendy Sinder, too, have been greatly influenced by Hauser's ideological leanings, with both focusing their work on Indo-centric studies. Pinch, a professor of history and Global South Asian Studies at Wesleyan University, has authored several books on Indian history, including Warrior, Ascetics and Indian Empires and Peasants and Monks in British India. Likewise, Singer is an associate professor of South Asian history and director of international studies at Kenyon College in Ohio's Gambier, whose body of works includes books such as Independent India and Creating Histories: Oral Narratives and Politics of History Making. Talking about Saraswati's legacy, Pinch said, 'Monks have been instruments of social and political changes. Even Mahatma Gandhi visited Allahabad once to attend the Kumbh Mela and understand the social and religious connect of ascetics and sanyasis. Monks would leave behind their family but still talk of and work for society.' Saraswati's impact can be seen in how the farmers' protest in Punjab forced the central government to withdraw the contentious farm laws, Singer, who returned to India after 40 years, said. 'Swami's life and works show the vibrancy of democracy in India. Walter was drawn to Swami because he led a social change in Bihar — the land of movements,' she added. Jha, who has been instrumental in keeping the social reformer's legacy alive, talked about the time Hauser sought an audience in the 1950s with the then President of India, Dr Rajendra Prasad. 'His first request was rejected outright. Then he wrote another letter saying that as a Fulbright scholar, he wanted to pay his respects to the President. This time, he got 15 minutes. Dr Rajendra Prasad came to meet him wearing his signature cap. But the moment he started discussing peasants and the Swami, Prasad removed his cap, squatted on his sofa and talked to Hauser for 75 minutes,' he said. Dr Satyajit Singh, a leading Patna doctor and a trustee of the Bihta ashram, said: 'We are so overwhelmed at the Hauser family coming to Patna to pay an unusual tribute to Swami's memories on his 75th death anniversary. This has motivated us to make the ashram more vibrant and keep Swami's legacy alive'. Santosh Singh is a Senior Assistant Editor with The Indian Express since June 2008. He covers Bihar with main focus on politics, society and governance. Investigative and explanatory stories are also his forte. Singh has 25 years of experience in print journalism covering Bihar, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka. ... Read More

Ashes of eminent US historian & wife to be immersed in river Ganga on June 26
Patna: Honouring the wishes of eminent American historian Walter Hauser, known for his path-breaking researches on Bihari farmers and their struggles, and his wife Rosemary Fleming, their ashes will be immersed in river Ganga at Digha ghat here on June 26, years after their death. They had desired and willed for their cremation, not burial as per Christian rituals, reflecting their fond association with Bihar, its people and their culture, cultural activist Aneesh Ankur said. The ashes, collected and preserved after their cremation, will be taken to the middle of the river through a steamer of tourism department for immersion. Hauser, who was a researcher at Virgnia University, died at his home town in the US on June 1, 2019, at the age of 92, over a decade after his wife succumbed to cancer in 2001. They were cremated, and their ashes had been preserved for immersion in the river Ganga. Born in 1927, Hauser, in 1957, started his research on the Bihari farmers and their anti-zamindar movement under the banner of Bihar Pradesh Kisan Sabha (BPKS), led by Sahajanand Saraswati from Sitaram Ashram in Bihta (Patna). The BPKS was formed in 1929. The PhD thesis he submitted in 1961 to Virgnia University remained a reference point for the scholars world over who liked to do research on Bihar. President and secretary of the Sitaram Ashram, Kailash Chandra Jha (a disciple of Hauser) and Satyajit Kumar Singh, respectively said that the ashes of Hauser and his wife have already been brought to Patna by their daughter Sheila Hauser, son Michael, his wife Eliabeth and granddaughter Rosemary Hauser Jos. They are accompanied by disciples of Walter Hauser — William Pinch and Wendy Singer — who have also done research on the cultural and political aspects of the state, they added.

NEW YORK, June 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against Organon & Co.

If you invested in Organon you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting Investors have until July 22, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors who purchased Organon securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey and is captioned: Hauser v. Organon & Co., et al. , No. 25-cv-05322. Why was Organon Sued for Securities Fraud? Organon is a global healthcare company focused on women's health that has historically rewarded its shareholders with a healthy dividend. In October 2024, Organon completed a $1.2 billion acquisition of Dermavant, a biopharmaceutical company focused on dermatological conditions. As alleged, while the acquisition increased Organon's debt, the Company assured investors it would maintain its dividend, which Organon asserted was its '#1 capital allocation priority.' In truth, Organon had shifted its capital allocation priority after the Dermavant acquisition to focus on reducing its debt, ultimately leading the Company to severely cut its dividend. The Stock Declines as the Truth is Revealed On May 1, 2025, Organon announced that management reset the Company's dividend payout from $0.28 per share to $0.02 per share. Organon's CEO explained that the Company 'reset our capital allocation priorities to accelerate progress towards deleveraging' and that '[b]y deleveraging more rapidly, we will continue to strengthen the future prospects of the company.' Organon's CFO added, '[t]he biggest issues we face . . . relate to managing our leverage and relate to growth. And we need capital to solve both of those issues, and so returning capital to shareholders is right now, less of a priority.' On this news, the price of Organon stock declined roughly 27%, from $12.93 per share on April 30, 2025, to $9.45 per share on May 1, 2025. Click here if you suffered losses: What Can You Do?
