🇮🇹 ITALY: Extreme heat is threatening Italy’s “cheese banks,” where hundreds of thousands of Parmigiano-Reggiano wheels are stored as loan collateral.

The biggest cheese banks in Italy store 300,000+ wheels of Parmesan.

Dairy farmers use cheese as collateral and get loans up to 80% of market value. At ~$1,000 per wheel, that’s $200m+ in loans (banks seize and sell cheese if farmer can’t pay back).

Best part: banks use automated machines that brush and turn the cheese wheels everyday to keep them fresh.

Counting down to August 15th! We’ll be sharing a special tribute every day as we celebrate India’s 80th 🇮🇳 Independence Day.

Day 4: Honoring Indian Aircraft Carriers—the Floating Fortresses of our Blue Waters. ⚓
From the iconic legacy of the original INS Vikrant and INS Viraat to the formidable operational pairing of INS Vikramaditya and our homegrown pride, the indigenous INS Vikrant – our aircraft carriers stand as unmatched symbols of India’s naval dominance. Embodying the battle cry "Jayema Sam Yudhi Spṛdhaḥ. I defeat those who fight against me" these sovereign airfields project blue-water power across the Indian Ocean Region, safeguarding critical sea lanes and defending our vast coastlines.
Today, as the Tricolour flutters high over the ocean horizons, honor the extraordinary grit, engineering prowess, and vigilance of the naval aviators and sailors who command the high seas to keep India secure.
Bharat Mata ki Jai 🇮🇳
Sam no Varunah ⚓

The Boy Who Faced the Gallows with a Smile: Khudiram Bose

On this very day, 118 years ago, a legend attained immortality. Khudiram Bose, a mere 18-year-old youth, walked to the gallows with the Bhagavad Gita in his hand. He didn't just sacrifice his life; he ignited a revolution. When the British tried to silence him, they only ended up creating a legend that inspired an entire generation to take up the cause of freedom.

"Vande Mataram" was his last breath.

Today, we honor the youngest balidan of our struggle. His fearlessness is the heartbeat of our freedom.
