Organization Wi-Fi Alliance introduced a newapproach to the naming of different versions of wireless Wi-Fi. From now on, the generally accepted designations for Wi-Fi will be publicly marked with numbers instead of letters. This simplification will only work for users, specialists will still use the full name.
Currently, PC, smartphones, networkEquipment and other products equipped with a Wi-Fi module are labeled using the appropriate IEEE standard name, for example, 802.11n, 802.11ac or 802.11ax. Although this naming scheme is accurate and convenient for experienced users, casual customers do not always understand it, especially as standards have become two-letter designations. This, in turn, means that customers do not always capture the right combination of devices that provide the best performance (for example, buying a new PC with an 802.11ac card and an outdated 802.11n router).
That is why, seeking to simplify understandingfurther Wi-Fi standards, the Wi-Fi Alliance and its participants will use numbers instead of letters. As a result, the next actual standard 802.11ax will be called Wi-Fi 6. As for earlier versions, 802.11ac will become Wi-Fi 5, 802.11n - Wi-Fi 4. On hand, such changes will be not only buyers, but also sellers. It will also be easier for manufacturers to advertise and promote their electronic products.


From: Tamara Kiel
On Nov. 6, The Republic ran a small article buried inside the paper regarding the city’s director of community development, Carl Malysz, reaching out to then-mayoral candidate Jim Lienhoop and expressing his desire to continue his good work for our community. The article indicates Lienhoop responded by saying due to going a different direction, his employment with the city will terminate Jan. 1. This termination declaration resulted in Malysz resigning in order to take a position elsewhere.
Malysz, having been told he was being let go, remained the consummate professional in addressing City Council regarding his departure. In return, not one single City Council member had the dignity to muster “thank you for your service” to him. Watch the video.
Why isn’t his termination receiving the same 3-inch front-page headline outrage as did former park director Ben Wagner’s demotion, a demotion that Wagner accepted? For that chosen employee, Lienhoop led the City Council to zero out the parks director pay, blocking the mayor’s ability to do her job in hiring someone new. He then used taxpayer money to hire an attorney for employee Wagner. Where is the equitable newspaper coverage and equal employee treatment?
Malysz is a huge loss to the city. He is an experienced community development specialist who was able to find alternative funding methods for critical projects through grants, which saved local taxpayers millions. That’s invaluable. I wait anxiously to see who the new administration has decided will be a better direction than Malysz.
Ironically, the same day as the news of his departure, the editorial was a diatribe chastising the Brown administration for not reaching out to Lienhoop. Expecting this when earlier in the week it had reported Lienhoop as having said he “has spent much of the past four months selecting people to fill about 30 positions within various city departments and committees” is complete lunacy.
Candidate Lienhoop, before the Nov. 3 general election, began sending his transition team, not himself, into City Hall to inform hardworking people devoted to their jobs and wishing to continue, that they are out the door before he ever gave them a chance. Imagine the atmosphere he has created. Remember how hard he campaigned on the deceptive, false and misleading indication of 100 percent turnover and “dysfunction” at City Hall? The irony of what he is doing now is painful to me.
And so that is the dynamic in which The Republic’s editorial has the audacity to suggest, nay, demand the current administration welcome the new.
If Lienhoop genuinely desired a smooth transition, he would at least pretend to work amicably, I mean “collaboratively,” with the city employees and wouldn’t have sent such valuable people packing before he remembered to ask them for their computer passwords.
Sounds like we get to watch the hypocritical shrapnel fly in December.

The Story: The battle for Palisade concludes as the mercenaries then party hard.
The Review: There are a quite a lot of changes in the industry going on these days. With many established and well-liked creators going on to create their own series at companies like Image, Dark Horse, Boom and other such places, we live in an age where creativity in the American market is booming. It is something, however, that require some sacrifices, like titles that are released in waves like Saga and Lazarus, who need time after a bunch of issues to catch up and plan ahead.
Another title that can claim to do so is Rat Queens, with this issue concluding its first arc with the next issue coming up in May. One of the very thing which makes the adventures of the Rat Queens a bit similar to the two aforementioned titles is the quality, which is actually quite high. With but a few honest-to-God pure and atypical fantasy comics out there, it’s a refreshing thing to see a title dedicated to the genre, yet not so stuck in its ways as to forget to bring innovation and quality into the mix. Still, does this conclusion brings a painful realisation that the title won’t be out for a few months, or is it a dull affair that makes the wait a bearable thing?
Unfortunately, it’s the former as this conclusion not only brings many of the title’s strength to the forefront, but also present many of the unique and decidedly charming qualities of the title in a penultimate fashion.
One of the better point, in that respect, is the entire cast. With the Rat Queens being of course the focus of the book, it’s a nice thing to see that Wiebe does not forget that this is a world that he is trying to present and build here, enriching the book with a large and surprisingly enjoyable supporting cast. The four Daves, Braga and Sawyer all have a rich personality and some good interactions with each others as well as the Rat Queens which allows for some fun moments.
Still, like said earlier, the focus is on the Rat Queens, with each of them getting quite a lot of deeper analysis. Their code of honor, their methods and their outlook for each other and on life is shown here in battle as well as during the party, allowing for their quirky and semi-dysfunctional qualities to come forth in interesting ways.
Still, even with interesting characters, the book would suffer if there wasn’t any balance in its presentation, its story and had an actual identity of its own. Thankfully, Wiebe makes this issue a very special combination of violence, character building, fun and comedy that is superbly balanced. Seamlessly going from berserk rage to touching to amusing, this issue flows very well in terms of tone and themes.
Where it might lose some people, though, is in the overly mature theme. While not a weakness per se, those easily offended by foul language, mention of sex, alcohol and a good dose of bloody violence may not feel at home with such a series and especially with this issue in some regards. It certainly isn’t the fact that it’s handled badly or anything more than it permeates the very identity of the book in close to every page. Those not minding these very things shall find quite a lot of entertainment, though.
The art of Roc Upchruch is another story, though, with some very clear strengths and some weaknesses that might make or break the issue for some. There are some very apparent rough edges to the art in this book, with some details being a bit sketchy and imprecise. However, Upchurch does manage to get over this fault of his in many ways that count, never putting down the essential details in the characters face or making it so the scenes aren’t packed with enough details so that they feel bland. Using some opaque techniques to allow for an illusion of lesser details in the backgrounds, the artist turn this weakness of his into a strength thanks to this technique. Effectively using the context of the party with the narcotics and vision blurring the readers vision in a way, this allow for an illusion of depth without boggling the issue down.
An aspect where Upchurch is decidedly very good at is with panel progression, with a fluidity between each panels and the simulation of progress and movement being aptly put on the page. In the action scene, in the party and pretty much everywhere in the book, the artist allows for a good visual pacing that allows for each scenes to get their point across without being rushed or too slow.
His colorization is also very notable. With a use of pastel colors without destroying contrasting techniques and with a good diversity despite it all, Upchurch creates a good colorful identity to the book that accentuate the one it already has further. Without hurting his lines and making sure there is enough balance between the backgrounds and the frontal elements like the characters and the violence, the colors do their job to accentuate the line work and put an effect to enhance the effects and tones of the script without being superfluous.
The Conclusion: With a very clear and fun identity and a superb balance between the interesting elements that compose this series, this issue brings a great load of entertainment and some solid artwork. In all, it’s very good.

Washington: Over half of all Alzheimer`s disease cases can be prevented through lifestyle changes and treatment or prevention of chronic medical conditions.
The biggest risk factors for Alzheimer`s disease are physical inactivity, depression, mid-life hypertension, low education, smoking, diabetes and mid-life obesity.
The findings are based on studies involving hundreds of thousands of participants worldwide, by Deborah Barnes, researcher at San Francisco Veterans Affairs Medical Centre and professor of psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco.
Together, these risk factors are associated with up to 51 percent of Alzheimer`s cases globally (17.2 million) and up to 54 percent cases in the US (2.9 million), according to Barnes, reports journal Lancet Neurology.
"This suggests that some very simple lifestyle changes, such as increasing physical activity and quitting smoking, could have a tremendous impact on preventing Alzheimer`s and other dementias in the US and worldwide," said Barnes, according to Medical Centre statement.
The study results were presented at the 2011 meeting of the Alzheimer`s Association International Conference in Paris, France.
Alzheimer`s disease is the most common form of dementia among older people. Dementia is a brain disorder that seriously affects a person`s ability to carry out daily activities.

Tag: family dispute
In McAndrew Estate (Re), 2020 ABQB 614, Mr. Justice Nicholas Devlin starts his decision with reference to the late Patricia McAndrew’s three wills by saying: ”Her brother, supported by two of her children, asserts that her 2012 holograph will, is valid and should prevail. In the alternative, he advances a 2011 will, drafted with the aid of her solicitor. Her daughter Diane asserts that Ms. McAndrews lacked the capacity to execute either of the latter wills and that the holograph in particular was the product of undue influence. Consequently, she asks the Court to endorse Ms. McAndrew’s original 2005 will which, not surprisingly, leaves her the preponderance of the estate. On this familiar landscape of familial discord, the contest of wills is joined.”
The decision was released on October 14, 2020, in Calgary and is interesting for procedural and other reasons, but, the decision revolves around the issue of the deceased’s capacity. Justice Devlin’s decision reviews and reinforces current legal concepts and states, “…capacity is not a “bright line” or “threshold” question; rather, it is both time- and task-specific. A person who lacks capacity at some points in time may have other periods of lucidity. Further, a person may have the capacity to undertake some tasks, but not others.”
He reiterates from Scramstad v Stannard ABQB 1996 188 AR 23 at para 130: “In my view, it is important to keep in mind at all times the instruction contained in Goodfellow, to the effect that: just because a person’s mind and memory is not what it used to be, does not mean that such person lacks testamentary capacity; the test to determine testamentary capacity is not therefore one of certainty or satisfaction beyond a reasonable doubt. Rather, based on the authorities referred to, in my view the test is one that can be answered by a layman possessed of good common sense based on everyday experience and judged on a “balance of probabilities” that is: is it more probable than not, having regard to all of the evidence that a person at the time such person made his or her Will possessed or did not possess a disposing mind and memory to “clearly and discreetly judge, all those things, and all those circumstances, which enter into the nature of a rational, fair and just testament”.
He also adds, “… capacity in general, and testamentary capacity in particular, is a legal question, not a medical one. While medical evidence can and often does inform the legal assessment, such evidence is not necessarily determinative. In Stevens v Morrisroe, 2001 ABCA 195 at para 19, Picard JA stated: “Soundness of mind is a practical question and does not depend on scientific or medical definition. As Feeney said, supra, at p. 33 “Medical evidence is not required, not necessary nor necessarily conclusive when given. “
In this case, the decision was that the deceased had testamentary capacity and the 2012 holograph will was admitted to probate.

We often hear of the importance of forging and maintaining good relations with the in-laws. Hence, wishing to keep everyone united, and the spouse happy, we avert our gaze when the one in-law overindulges at the Christmas party, we bite our tongue when another in-law refers to us as “hey, you in the yellow”, and we put on a stiff smile when yet another in-law visits us on our birthday to ask for a loan. In one recent Ontario case, however, we see the grim consequences of having too good a relationship with one’s in-laws.
The cautionary case of Kent v. Kent arose from a legal dispute between the deceased’s son-in-law and her grandchildren. Perhaps unaware of her son-in-law’s inclinations towards insatiability and ingratitude, the deceased left equal shares of her home to the three eventual litigants. By and by, the son-in-law sought a declaration that he was entitled to a much larger share. He argued that since his mother-in-law had registered his late wife as a joint tenant (the transfer was gratuitous), and he and his late wife had moved in a decade after, the house “became their matrimonial home”. He relied upon subsection 26(1) of the Family Law Act:
“If a spouse dies owning an interest in a matrimonial home as a joint tenant with a third person and not with the other spouse, the joint tenancy shall be deemed to have been severed immediately before the time of death.”
The grandchildren countered with the presumption of resulting trust. According to this legal principle, despite legal ownership, property should be returned, or result, to the person who actually paid for the property (the beneficial owner). The presumption can be rebutted if the transferee can show that the transferor intended to gift the property (Pecore v. Pecore).
The Court ruled in favour of the grandchildren, finding that because the transfer was made from a parent to a child, with no consideration, the presumption of resulting trust applied. The son-in-law, who could not muster any evidence in his favour, did not rebut the presumption. The Court also ascribed significance to the Will itself:
“The provisions of the will and transfer made by Marian in July 2015 suggest that she believed that she was the sole owner of the property, and in a position to dispose of it as she did.”
This ruling might provide some comfort to those who have invited their married, adult children to live in their homes. It is a bitter fact, though, that the son-in-law’s conduct can bring no good to the reputation of in-laws, and that if his example is followed, we might see more in-laws receiving bequests of “thirty pieces of silver” or trusts comprised of stockings full of coal.
Thanks for reading!

What is it that welcomes--draws the eye--about an archway?
Because they beckon farther/further? (I'm not sure if I mean a physical sense of distance--in which case farther--or an abstract depth.)
Here's the mascot to attract passersby through an archway to an exhibition of humouristic books in a courtyard.
I went in to see what I could understand. I'm in the middle ground--the palest person in the courtyard. The sign belongs to an artist who was offering to draw personalized caricatures. He offered to do one of me. I told him mi esposo drew--and who could get more personal than that? He gave a nod informed with the gravity of ancient Aztec culture. I was proud to get such a dignified response to my primitive Spanish.
Though he might only have been thinking: stingy tourist go home.
I'd bought opera tickets in order to get inside the magnificent Palacio de Bellas Artes. I expected an old style playhouse with proscenium arch and private boxes for patrons--and wasn't disappointed.
Though, with our cheapest of the cheap tickets, we were closer to the stained-glass ceiling than the opera--so close that I could only get part of it in the frame.
And here is the monumental Monumento a la Revolución which stands high and imposing in the brilliant sunshine.

Someone once said that the sports page is a newspaper’s toy department. I confess, though, that until I started writing for Power Line, my perusal of the Washiington Post was confined to the toy department and, at the other extreme, the columns of Charles Krauthammer and George Will. In any event, Michael Wilbon of the Post fails to add gravitas to his paper’s sports page in this attempt to prove the existence of a “color line” in NFL coaching circles. Wilbon is upset that the San Francisco 49ers hired a white head coach, Dennis Erickson, instead of a black, Dennis Green. Wilbon correctly observes that Green has had more success as a head coach than Erickson. But the issue is not whether the 49ers made a wise choice, but whether they based their decision on race. It seems obvious to me that they did not. Recall that the the team’s head coaching vacancy arose only because it fired one of the best young coaches in the game, Steve Mariucci, essentially because of his strong personality. Our Minnesota readers can probably confirm that Dennis Green is no shrinking violet either. Thus, viewed in the context of the Mariucci firing, there is no reason to conclude that the decision to hire Erickson instead of Green had anything to do with race. In all likelihood, the 49ers just wanted a more pliable head coach.
Wilbon compounds his lack of seriousness by complaining again about the Detroit Lions’ decision to hire Mariucci without following NFL rules concerning interviewing black candidates. He points out (as if this lends credibility to his case) that the Detroit City Council has passed a resolution condemning the Lions for not following this process. However, as noted in an earlier blog, the Lions offered to interview black candidates, but these individuals declined the invitation because they knew Detroit wanted to select Mariucci (who was far more qualified). In fact, the Lions had only fired their former head coach because Mariucci became available. Moreover, even though the 49ers followed the NFL rules and interviewed black candidates, this does not seem to satisfy Wilbon either because, allegedly, this was just a “dog and pony” show.
Near the end of the article, Wilbon, assuming his role as arbiter of men’s hearts, assures us that Matt Millen, the Lions’ general manager, is not a bigot. If that is the case, then there should be no controversy over his selection of Mariucci. The issue in these matters should always be whether discrimination occurred, not whether a process has been followed (especially when, as here, the party in the dock tried to follow it).
Ultimately, Wilbon’s only factully valid charge is that those who award head coaching jobs are reaching tentative conclusions early on about the person they want to hire. But this is an entirely normal and reasonable way to proceed. Wilbon’s analysis is symptomatic of a post-modern civil rights movement that seeks to control thought processes having nothing directly to do with race.

“Arise and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time.” Winston Churchill
“Proclaim Liberty throughout All the land unto All the Inhabitants Thereof.” Inscription on the Liberty Bell


KUALA LUMPUR, April 6 — The government has decided to continue including AstraZeneca’s vaccine as part of Malaysia’s Covid-19 vaccine portfolio, despite international reports of blood clots linked to the shot.
Health Minister Dr Adham Baba, in a press conference after a Covid-19 Vaccine Supply Access Committee (JKJAV) meeting today, announced that upon reviewing data on the blood clot events surrounding the AstraZeneca-Oxford coronavirus vaccine, the government has decided that the vaccine benefits outweigh its risks.
“We take note of the elements that were brought forward and the adverse effects and the factors that involve thrombosis or thrombocytopenia,” Dr Adham said in the press conference.
“We will still continue with the use of AstraZeneca in our country because the clinical data that we have found still shows more benefits than harm.”
Dr Adham’s remarks were made before news reports broke about a European Medicines Agency (EMA) top official saying there is a link between AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine and blood clots, although the cause is unclear.
“In my opinion, we can say it now, it is clear there is a link with the vaccine,” EMA head of vaccines Marco Cavaleri told Italy’s II Messaggero newspaper, Medical Xpress reported, although it was unclear what caused such a reaction.
In the United Kingdom, out of the 18 million people who received the AstraZeneca vaccine, 30 of them developed rare blood clots, known as cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), resulting in seven deaths.
UK health authorities now fear that younger women will refuse to take the AstraZeneca jab because two thirds of the patients that developed blood clots were females.
Different countries have changed their strategy on the use of AstraZeneca’s Covid-19 vaccine. For example, in Canada and France, the AstraZeneca vaccine is not being used for people below the age of 55.
Germany, which reported unusual blood clots in 31 people who recently received the AstraZeneca shot, has halted giving the vaccine to people aged 60 or older. Nine of the people with blood clots had died, seven of whom were women aged 20 to 63, AP reported. Germany has administered about 2.7 million doses of AstraZeneca’s vaccine.
Meanwhile, countries like Norway, Denmark, Austria, Ireland, Portugal, and Latvia have suspended use of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
Malaysia has procured 12.8 million doses of the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine through direct procurement, which is being manufactured in Thailand, as well as from the COVAX initiative, where doses are manufactured in South Korea. Malaysia expects deliveries of AstraZeneca’s vaccine from next month.

do not have approved trearments
Progress & Unmet Need
Biopharmaceutical industry researchers are making great progress in the fight against rare diseases as innovative science has opened new opportunities. More than 770 medicines have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since enactment of the Orphan Drug Act in 1983 and more than 560 medicines are in the current biopharmaceutical pipeline. Despite recent progress, there is still much more work to be done. In fact, only 5 percent of rare diseases have an approved treatment option.
We’ve seen incredible advances in the development of medicines to treat patients with rare diseases as researchers uncover the molecular and genomic drivers of many conditions. Rare diseases are biologically complex and scientists are working hard to uncover the underlying causes and the clinical course of individual rare diseases. Biopharmaceutical companies are committed to following the science to develop orphan drugs and have more than 800 projects in clinical development.
The Orphan Drug Act (ODA) has been instrumental to increasing research into rare diseases. Since the enactment of ODA in 1983, more than 770 orphan drugs and biological products have been approved in the U.S., compared with just 10 in the decade before passage.
The ODA provides incentives for rare disease R&D, as it can be especially challenging to develop new treatments for rare diseases. These incentives include an exclusive right to market the drug for the orphan indication for seven years upon U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval.
Challenges in Rare Disease Drug Development
Developing medicines to treat rare diseases presents scientific and operational challenges. The complex biology of many rare diseases presents unique hurdles for scientists, making it difficult to design and implement a drug development program. Within a particular rare disease, there can be many variations or subtypes resulting in different clinical manifestations and disease progressions. Additionally, due to the inherently small population of patients with a rare disease, recruiting for and conducting clinical trials can be difficult.
Despite these challenges, America’s biopharmaceutical researchers have leveraged new technologies and the growing scientific understanding of many rare diseases to develop groundbreaking therapies in recent years, including:
- The first treatments directed at treating the underlying causes of cystic fibrosis
- Significant advances in targeted therapies for many forms of blood cancer, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, and multiple myeloma
- New medicines that can prevent or slow the impact of several extremely rare, devastating conditions including pulmonary arterial hypertension, hereditary angioedema, and Gaucher disease
- The first therapies available to treat many rare pediatric diseases, including a progressive, metabolic disease called hypophosphatasia (HPP), an inherited genetic disease called lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) deficiency, and neuroblastoma, a rare form of cancer that occurs in nerve cells and the brain

Are you looking to incorporate more plant protein into your diet? Plant proteins are essential for a healthy and balanced diet and can help provide the nutrients your body needs to maintain optimal health. This article will explore some of the amazing plant protein sources available today—including legumes, grains, nuts, and seeds—so that you can find delicious ways to add nutritious animal-friendly ingredients to your lifestyle. Are you ready to learn how adding these extraordinary foods to your meal plan can benefit you? Read on!
Plant Protein Vs. Animal Protein
Protein is essential for the body to build and repair cells, transport oxygen, regulate hormones, and keep your immune system operating at its peak. Protein in the diet comes primarily from animal sources such as meat, fish, eggs, and dairy or plant-based sources, including legumes, whole grains, nuts, and seeds. Plant-based proteins have numerous advantages over animal proteins when it comes to health.
Plant protein has more fiber which helps reduce cholesterol while also promoting gut health. It’s also lower in saturated fat than animal protein, so it’s associated with a lower risk of heart disease. In addition to being a safer bet nutritionally, plant protein is usually less expensive than animal protein too!
Amazing Sources Of Plant Protein
It’s no secret that plant-based protein sources are good for you, but finding delicious and nutritious ingredients to use in your meals can be a challenge. Here are some of the best sources of plant protein:
Quinoa is a superfood that has been slowly making its way into healthy diets all across the globe. It is versatile and can prepare various dishes – from salads, stews, casseroles, or even desserts! High in plant protein and mineral density, this amazing grain-like seed will make any meal more nutritious.
Additionally, it is naturally gluten-free and contains high heart-healthy fats. With so many nutritional benefits, it’s no wonder quinoa has become one of the most popular sources of plant-based protein available. Its ease of usage makes it an excellent option for anyone looking for healthier meals.
Tofu is an amazing source of plant-based protein and has been a dietary staple for centuries. It contains all the essential amino acids the body needs for tissue repair, making it a complete protein. As an added bonus, tofu is low in calories and easier to digest than other animal proteins.
Furthermore, tofu is incredibly versatile; it can be whipped into smoothies, stir-fried with veggies and spices, or even cubed in salads. Its neutrality makes it possible to take on any flavor you desire, making it an excellent option for those looking to add more plant protein to their diets. If you want to boost your intake of this superfood, give tofu a try!
Chickpeas, scientifically known as Cicer Arietinum, are a member of the legume family and an amazing source of plant-based protein. Higher than other common sources such as lentils, chickpeas pack a whopping 15 grams of protein per one-cup serving. This versatility makes them an excellent substitute for any dish that typically includes meat or other animal proteins. Interestingly enough, this single food source provides nearly 30% of your recommended daily value for protein!
Furthermore, they’re easy to prepare and have a mild taste that allows you to season them however you, please. These hassle-free beans can be cooked from dried or canned in various recipes like soups, salads, and stews and may even be enjoyed in hummus! Whether used as an entree or side dish, chickpeas offer all the flavor without sacrificing your diet—talk about making life easier for vegetarians!
Spirulina is one of the best plant protein sources because it has a very high nutritional content. It contains all essential amino acids, as well as B vitamins and antioxidants. Spirulina contains 16 times more calcium than cow’s milk and other plant proteins, making it an excellent alternative for lactose intolerance. Furthermore, it’s incredibly easy to incorporate into your daily diet – whether you munch on sun-dried spirulina chips or add powdered spirulina to smoothies, juices, and more!
In addition, spirulina allows for an impressive range of health benefits, including helping to lower cholesterol levels, aiding digestion, and increasing immunity. Ultimately, spirulina makes a nutritious addition to any person’s diet with its incredible array of vitamins and minerals.
Peanuts are a great source of plant-based protein and nutrition. Peanuts provide 8 grams of protein per 1 ounce, 16 whole grams in just two tablespoons! Substantial amounts of biotin, manganese, vitamin E and B6 are covered in this nutritious snack. Moreover, peanuts are high in heart-healthy monounsaturated fat. Being low in carbs, they can be easily incorporated into many healthy diets while providing energy and nutrients to keep you full longer.
Whether you enjoy them raw or roasted, added to recipes, or eaten as a snack solo – peanuts offer an amazing powerhouse to any plant-based diet! They are inexpensive and widely available; most grocery stores have them stocked. Moreover, studies have shown that the antioxidants in peanuts may help reduce the risk of cancer and boost “good” cholesterol HDL levels.
Almonds are a powerhouse when it comes to plant-based proteins! In addition to protein, they’re full of antioxidants, healthy oils, and dietary fibers that can help fill you up without filling out your calorie count. An ounce of almonds contains six grams of protein, making them an excellent snack for anyone looking to up their daily protein intake.
Not to mention their versatility; almonds can be eaten raw, sprouted, blanched, roasted, or used in baking or cooked dishes. No matter how you decide to enjoy them, almonds are an amazing source of protein for those who need to watch their animal product intake!
Chia seeds are emerging as one of the most nutrient-dense plant protein sources. Not only do they contain all nine essential amino acids, but you can easily incorporate them into your diet with their subtle flavor and pudding-like consistency when soaked in liquid. These tiny superfoods are jam-packed with antioxidants and healthy fats such as omega-3 fatty acids, which have positive health outcomes.
Undoubtedly, adding more plant protein is an amazing way to optimize your nutrition! Best of all, it’s easy to add chia seeds to various recipes such as smoothies, oatmeal, salads, and baked goods. So, supplementing your diet with chia seeds may be worth exploring if you’re looking for a way to help build lean muscle while sticking to a meatless lifestyle.
Potatoes are a simple yet immensely powerful source of plant-based protein. Not only do they taste great in a wide variety of dishes, but one medium potato can provide up to 4 grams of protein. That’s remarkable, considering its humble origins as nothing more than the average vegetable found in most people’s pantries.
No wonder potatoes have become an integral part of cuisines worldwide and a mainstay in vegetarian diets everywhere. Protein on a budget has never been easier: potatoes are affordable, making them a regular go-to for many budget-minded eaters.
Get Plant Protein Easily With What’s Listed Above!
In conclusion, plant protein is a great way to get nutrition while avoiding animal products. The items listed above are just some of the many sources of plant-based proteins available, each with its unique benefits.
Whether you’re looking for something easy to incorporate on the go or something versatile enough to blend into almost any dish—these options can help you get the protein you need without sacrificing taste or quality. So, if you want to increase your intake of plant-based proteins, give some of these foods a try and see which works best for you!

How things are going for Manchester United depends on whether you are selling papers in Liverpool or trying to get clicks from United fans.
There’s barely any football in the actual newspapers (something called ‘golf’ is on the back page of The Sun), but the online wheels must keep turning so what’s the biggest story in football on Monday morning according to The Sun website?
‘PLEASED TO SEE US, JACK? Jack Grealish hides can of lager in trunks as footie ace & pals party with bikini clad beauties at boozy pool party’
Presumably we are supposed to think that a can of lager in swimming shorts looks like an erect penis. This is a gag slightly spoiled by said picture of a can of lager in swimming shorts not looking like an erect penis.
But still, why let that small detail get in the way of a ‘story’ which can basically be boiled down to ‘man goes on holiday and drinks rather a lot’ which, with apologies to Disney, is a tale as old as time.
But we particularly like the quotes from an ‘onlooker’, who told The Sun:
“Jack’s lads’ break continued with another day of fun in the sun.
“He had a blast with his pals at the pool party and they were dancing and giving each other piggybacks in the pool. The star took a dip and was swaying to the DJ tracks and rock and pop hits.”
Two paragraphs in and we already have about six words or phrases that no ‘onlooker’ would ever say. ‘The star took a dip?’ Seriously, if you are going to have an imaginary onlooker, at least make him/her sound like an actual human being.
“He has been enjoying a well-earned breather after an arduous Prem campaign, but seemed tired and emotional as he shuffled through the hotel.”
Yep. Definitely a real ‘onlooker’.
Half Rice, half chips
And the story with second billing on The Sun‘s football homepage?
‘DECS ARE LOADED England star Declan Rice heads to Las Vegas to go clubbing and proves huge hit as he joins Jack Grealish in Sin City’
We are told that Rice ‘proved a hit with a group of stunning women who have been buzzing around the lads’. But then…
‘Rice, who is devoted to girlfriend of six years Lauren Fryer, was spotted deep in conversation with one gorgeous brunette who was then led on to their luxury party bus after a night at the Marquee club.
‘An onlooker said: “Declan looked like he was in heaven but behaved like a gentleman.”‘
You mean he didn’t just go ahead and f*** her in the hotel lobby? It’s like the 1950s all over again.
Same onlooker? Just a man/woman idly looking on as all the footballers enjoy their holidays in Las Vegas before ringing The Sun to speak in cliches?
Over at the Daily Mirror, they are sticking with the football on their back page with a claim that ‘MAN UTD ARE HIT BY DOUBLE BLOW’, which is a classic headline for the biggest-selling tabloid in Liverpool.
Darren Lewis – himself a Liverpool fan – writes that ‘MANCHESTER UNITED have been left red-faced in the transfer market and the boardroom’.
It sounds an awful lot like Lewis has been asked to create a negative Manchester United back page against his better judgement. The clue? The ‘comment’ piece he pens on the inside pages in which he writes that the footage of chief executive Richard Arnold ‘is probably better PR for the club than any of the sanitised delusion from Ed Woodward ever was’.
Does that sound like Manchester United have been ‘left red-faced’? Or did the Mirror just want to roll out this admittedly excellent headline?
We await the views of an onlooker.
Van de Bruno
It’s not all doom and gloom for Manchester United though, with Jack Otway providing his usual spin on the Express website:
‘Man Utd have already signed two perfect players for Frenkie de Jong ahead of expected deal’
Now isn’t that truly excellent news? And there we were thinking that they needed some kind of overhaul this summer.
‘In Bruno Fernandes and Donny van de Beek, the Red Devils have already signed two players in recent years who can be perfect alongside the midfielder.’
But not perfect alongside each other, as the last two years have demonstrated. Is that not important? It seems not…
‘If he does move to United, it’s possible that De Jong will go straight into the team. With Pogba and Matic gone, there’s certainly a hole that needs filling.’
Yes, we would say it’s ‘possible’ that a £60m midfielder signed from Barcelona with 44 Dutch caps at the age of 25 will go straight into a struggling Manchester United team.
‘And it’s also a possibility that he’ll be deployed alongside Van de Beek, who he played with at Ajax, and Fernandes.’
Hmmm. We would say that this is rather less possible, what with Van de Beek and Fernandes starting just six games together over the last two seasons, what with them basically wanting to play the same position.
Still, isn’t it brilliant that Manchester United have already signed the two perfect players for Frenkie De Jong? Maybe they’re not a sh*tshow after all.
Echo and the funny men
Over at the Liverpool Echo, there is some much-needed clarity as ‘Mohamed Salah situation explained as Liverpool prepare to open contract talks with duo’.
Handily, the propaganda machine is here to tell you that reports that Liverpool ‘were growing resigned to the prospect of losing the Egypt international on a free transfer in 2023’ are wide of the mark because actually ‘the ECHO understands the winger’s contract situation remains unchanged with club insiders insisting they have no expectation regarding Salah’s future one way or the other as he enters the final months of his current deal’.
Colour us utterly astonished that the club – when asked whether they have given up on Mo Salah signing a new contract – said that actually, nothing has changed.
Thank f*** for that detailed and surprising explanation.
The article Have Manchester United smashed it with two ‘perfect’ players or been struck a double blow? appeared first on Football365.com.

The erythropoietin receptor (EPO-R) is the cellular target for erythropoietin (EPO), the primary hormone that mediates the proliferation of immature erythroblasts and their differentiation into mature erythrocytes. Unusual features of the EPO-R are its short half-life (t( 1/2 ) 1-2 h), its degradation via multiple pathways and the fact that less than 1% of total cellular EPO-R molecules are found on the cell surface. The contribution of EPO-R structural determinants to the regulation of its intracellular metabolism is still unclear. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGF-R), unlike the EPO-R, is efficiently transported to the cell surface and displays a much longer metabolic half-life. To determine which EPO-R cytosolic domains are involved in intracellular degradation, we studied chimeric receptor molecules constructed of EGF-R extracellular and transmembrane parts, linked to the full length or truncated cytosolic part of the EPO-R. The chimeras were expressed in transiently transfected COS 7 cells and stably expressed in Ba/F3 cells. Our experiments indicate that the cytosolic part of the EPO-R contains determinants that mark it for rapid degradation, in association with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). This degradation was insensitive to brefeldin A and was inhibited by specific proteasomal inhibitors. A truncated EGF- R/EPO-R chimera containing only 50 amino acids of the EPO-R membrane-proximal cytosolic part was also rapidly degraded suggesting that these 50 amino acids are involved in receptor degradation.

In 1992, a warning to humanity was released by more than 1500 of the world's senior scientists, among them a majority of all living Nobel prize laureates in the sciences. It ended: "The earth is finite. Its ability to absorb wastes and destructive effluent is finite. Its ability to provide food and energy is finite. Its ability to provide for growing numbers of people is finite. And we are fast approaching many of the earth's limits. No more than one or a few decades remain before the chance to avert the threats we now confront will be lost and the prospects for humanity immeasurably diminished. A great change in our stewardship of the earth and the life on it is required." -Union of Concerned Scientists
Based on a growing body of data, there is an urgent need to convert existing communities and develop new communities for true sustainability. In the first decades of the 21st Century, urban renovation and new town developments worldwide can realize significant short and long term benefits from green design methodologies that combine ecological architecture with sustainable construction, maintenance, energy technologies and resources. Federal and civic agencies, industry and academic research groups, developers, architects and urban designers, marketers of green products and services, urban renovation projects and experimental "intentional communities" are all interested in fostering a broader understanding and application of green design resources. These entities are in need of interaction and information-exchange to rapidly accelerate a new urban development paradigm. The Green Community Network is being developed by a circle of independent experts to fill this need, with an Internet-based information hub, a publishing and media production program, a series of exchange programs and international conferences.
The Green Community Network will present comprehensive information on:
• New Urbanism
• Green Building
• Energy Efficient Homes and Villages
• Infill Development
The Network will also develop constantly updated databases of:
• Major intentional communities, eco-villages and green urban development projects
• Green lending and financial institutions
• Ecological design resources
• Green products for consumers and developers
• Associations and institutions addressing the sustainable development movement
Interested parties should contact the Green Century Institute managing director Michael Gosney.

A low salt diet is one of the key messages to emanate from the medical authorities in the UK and the US in the past decade. But how much faith should we put in this creed; should we be as concerned as they would have us believe?
10 years ago the UK government encouraged the food industry to reduce the salt content of their products. This has resulted in a 15% reduction in salt intake and a corresponding 42% reduction in deaths due to stroke and 40% drop due to heart disease.
However the Research published in the BMJ does admit that other factors could have contributed to the results; citing a fall in the number of people smoking and a greater number of people regularly eating fruit and vegetables.
Concerns about salt intake first surfaced following a study by America's National Institutes of Health in 2001, the DASH sodium study but later studies have failed to replicate these conclusions.
The human body is well able to control the levels of salt in the blood through the kidneys. It is only in the modern era that problems have arisen due to the high salt levels of processed foods and beverages.
People who stick to a normal diet of healthy, natural foods would not be consuming salt levels that could raise their risk of hypertension and its associated health problems.
Two analyses were carried out in 2011 by the Cochrane Collaboration, a non profit organisation that reviews medical evidence, to assess the results from a large number of studies. One analysis found that although a reduction in salt lowered blood pressure there was no evidence that this reduced the incidence of heart disease or stroke.
The other checked over 150 trials and studies to conclude that reducing salt intake lowered blood pressure but failed to find evidence that this prevented premature death or heart disease.
Just as importantly we should ensure we get enough salt in our diet as too little prompts the kidneys to secrete an enzyme, renin, which can lead to raised blood pressure.
So unless you are regularly consuming processed foods with high salt levels the occasional bag of crisps is unlikely to do you any harm.

Empire State Building Lights Honor RMI
The characteristic floodlights that illuminate the top of the Empire State Building will shine a bright green May 10 to honor Rocky Mountain Institute’s 30 years of work in energy efficiency.
Red on Valentine’s Day, blue on Frank Sinatra’s birthday, in honor of Ol’Blue Eyes, the tradition of recognizing significant holidays and milestones through the colorful signature lights on the building began more than 40 years ago. On this night, during RMI’s 30th anniversary event, themed “Celebrating Solutions,” patrons and guests will enjoy 360-degree views from the 61st floor while hearing firsthand from RMI’s co-founder and Chief Scientist Amory Lovins and Tony Malkin of the Empire State Building Company about RMI’s work to create and implement solutions that advance energy and resource efficiency and renewables, including its role in the Empire State Building’s successful energy-efficiency retrofit. Emmy award-winning journalist Frank Sesno will moderate the conversation and former President Bill Clinton, who helped get RMI involved in the project, will provide a video message.
In 2008, RMI performed energy analysis and worked with the team that made recommendations for the retrofit, which cut energy costs by 38 percent. With savings of $4.4 million in annual energy costs, the project paid for itself in just over three years. The project serves as an inspiring example of energy efficiency for hundreds of other existing commercial buildings.
“We are thrilled to celebrate this institutional milestone at the most famous building in the world, where RMI’s integrated design approach helped to achieve a breakthrough in sustainable energy efficiency,” RMI CEO Michael Potts says.
In addition to the conversation with Malkin and Lovins at the anniversary celebration, RMI staff will share the latest news about RMI’s work and actress Anna Deavere Smith will deliver a unique performance.

A friend confided that she could not make it to the bathroom in time when she felt a sudden urge to urinate. It happened to her at home, and fortunately, she was able to clean her wet pants and floor, and change. But she felt embarrassed and ashamed.
This is not the kind of thing women or men talk about except in the confines of a 1 on 1 relationship, with a close friend. If it is happening to you often, you should bring it to the attention of your doctor. They can help you figure out why you are having episodes like these, and in many cases, they can work with you on treatments that will help you gain better bladder control.
What Could Cause Me To Lose Urinary Control?
A variety of physical problems can contribute to loss of bladder control:
- Urinary tract infections
- Vaginal infections
The lower urinary tract is surrounded by muscles. When those muscles are weak, it becomes difficult to control the opening and closing of the urethra, which carries your urine from your bladder. Overactive bladder muscles can also be an issue.
- Neurologic disorders, including a spinal cord injury, cervical spondylosis, or degenerative multiple sclerosis.
- Diabetic neuropathy
- Mobility impairment may make it difficult to get to the bathroom quickly.
- Psychological issues, such as depression may interfere with normal urination/li>
Types of Urinary Incontinence
- Urge incontinence.
Urge incontinence is a sudden and intense urge to urinate that you cannot stop. Without warning, you might suddenly feel like you burst your bladder, and urine comes rushing out. If it happens in a social setting, it might deter you from social situations. With urge incontinence, you can lose a lot or just a little urine with each episode. It is a distressing form of incontinence because you may have to rush to the toilet and not get there in time. You could have to urinate more frequently without warning. You might need to get up at night to urinate suddenly. and you might wet the bed.
Overactive bladder, also referred to as OAB, is a sudden urge to urinate that cannot be suppressed. Sometimes, it is viewed as a subcategory of urge incontinence.
If you leak small amounts of urine with minimal motion, for example, when you cough, laugh, or sneeze, you may have stress incontinence. Typically, the amount of urine that you leak is low to moderate.
This occurs when you feel like your bladder is full, but you can only release small amounts of urine each time that you go to the toilet.
This type of incontinence is just what it sounds like: you may have a combination of any of the three types of incontinence (urge, stress, or overflow) incontinence.
How Will My Doctor Evaluate My Problem?
A comprehensive examination will include a full health history, a voiding (urination) diary, which will document hour-by-hour, for 48-72 hours, the type of urinary leakage that you are experiencing, a physical exam, laboratory tests, and urodynamic tests. Urodynamic tests, which show how well your bladder and lower urinary tract are functioning, will be performed. They will show problems with storage capacity
What Type Of Treatments Can Help?
Behavioral changes, including diet and exercise, done consistently and regularly, will help many people regain bladder control. In some cases, drugs will need to supplement these strategies.
Bladder training involves setting a schedule that you follow-every two to 3 hours during the day- documenting when you urinate. You urinate only then. And you should drink much three-four hours before you go to bed because it may make your bladder full at night, when you are sleeping. This helps you learn when to sense a full bladder and only go then. It also helps eliminate excess trips to the toilet when your bladder just isn't full.
The pelvic muscles are very important in squeezing and releasing the bladder and allowing you to urinate. Some people have weak pelvic muscles, possibly due to having been pregnant, or being obese. Kegel exercises are a common form of pelvic muscle training. Kegel exercises teach people how to isolate the pelvic muscles and improve contraction of the bladder muscles.
Drinking too many caffeinated beverages, such as coffee, tea, and coke, can irritate the bladder. Restricting your intake to 1-2 cups per day is best. Also, if increased urinary frequency is a problem, try eliminating your drinking before attending social situations.
- Medication is often recommended as a supplement to, and not a replacement for lifestyle changes.
- Pessary insertion. If you are in your postmenopausal years and your doctor determines that your pelvic muscles are weak and cannot support your bladder, s/he may insert a pessary to support them.
- Surgery is sometimes needed. If you are an older women with a collapsed urethra or bladder, you may benefit from a retropubic suspension, suburethral sling, or bulking agents. For men who have failed medical therapy, an artificial sphincter, male sling, or urinary diversion may help contain your urine.

Brazilian-American Band, ADDED COLOR Discuss New Music, Biggest Inspirations and More!
Posted On 07 Jun 2017
The Brazilian/American Brooklyn-based rock band Added Color recently announced their newest release, ‘Psycho.’ They kicked off their international/US tour in support of it on May 13th.
“’Psycho’ marks a very important time for our band. As a group, it’s the strongest, most united we’ve ever been and musically, it solidifies an identity we’ve been building for the last 3 years,” says Kiko Freiberg, Guitarist/Vocals for Added Color.
The EP embraces individuality, self-acceptance, and standing up for others. In addition to the EP, Added Color has released a music video to accompany their first single. The new project was produced entirely by Added Color and recorded by Grammy-nominated engineer Luiznho Mazzei, whose past credits include Capital Inicial and Jota Quest.

Learn more about Added Color in follow All Access interview:
Thanks for your time! What are some words you would use to describe 2016? What were some of the highlights for the band? What are you all most excited about for 2017?
Thanks for having us! 2016 was all about solidifying who we are as a band and really finding our sound. We toured a lot and did pre-production on the songs we were writing whenever we were back in Brooklyn. We wrote about 30 songs last year and chose 7 of them to take on the road.
2017 has been about putting the new work out there. We toured a bit in the beginning of the year, and are in the middle of a Morocco and USA summer tour right now. We are tracking more new music in the early fall and are excited to play around all year.
How did Added Color first form? How did you come up with your band name? What other names were you considering?
Daniel and I (Kiko) are brothers and have been playing together our whole lives. I met Tim playing gypsy jazz and Danny responded to an ad on Craigslist.
Added Color is about celebrating diversity and uniqueness, and adding color to a “normal” scenario. Everyone should be able to be who they are and not justify it to anybody. Just cut the bullshit.
As a band, people try to throw you in a box. They want to decide a genre for you, and know who you sound like before they hear you. We aren’t really down with wasting our time with that.
For band names, we considered Mr. Industry (a name of an upcoming song) and Big Affair, but when Tim thought of Added Color and it was obvious for us.
I’m curious to know how your sound has been influenced by your Brazilian and American backgrounds?
Dan and I grew up listening to rock music. Its huge in Brazil. I remember rocking out to Sepultura and thinking “man those guys really have something different. They bring so much of Brazil in their rhythms.” We started thinking about how to incorporate Brazilian sounds in our music in our own way.
A lot of it is unconscious too. When you grow up around Carnaval and so much rhythm in general, it stays with you forever.
Let’s talk about your newest EP, “Psycho.” What was it like making this collection? Did anything surprise you about the process at all?
We tracked half of the EP in the US and half in Brazil when we went down there to play Palco do Rock festival in Salvador. We probably wrote 20 songs, tracked 9 and these 5 were the ones we carried over to the EP.
What songs on “Psycho” are you particularly proud of? How do you all go about putting a song together, beginning to end?
We are proud of the whole EP, since it was funneled down pretty hard and each song is very different/has a different story to tell. “Our Secret” and “Psycho” tend to be the crowd favorites. Each song is also written differently, but we all do it together and have equal input. Sometimes someone brings in an idea and we build on it, and sometimes it just comes from a jam.
How has your international/U.S tour been going so far? What have been some favorite stops. What venues are you excited to play at next?
It’s been awesome. We are currently in Morocco setting up for a show. Some of the smaller towns have never had a rock band before, so it’s amazing to see people’s reactions. Our first show was in a disputed territory in the Western Sahara. That said, people move the same way as they do in the US and the shows have been packed every night.
We are also excited to get back on the road in the US and play back home.
Where do you think you are all happiest- on stage performing, in the studio recording or elsewhere?
Onstage performing. Every night is different and we get to throw down with different people and feed off the crowd. It’s where I feel the most comfortable in life.
Who are you all listening to these days?
Been listening to a lot of Royal Blood, Highly Suspect, QOTSA and some other bands that are pushing the scene forward. Very into a newer band called Tigercub.
What artists have continued to inspire you and your music? Who would you absolutely love to work with in the future?
If I could pick a band to open for it would probably be QOTSA. Would also love to work with Omar Rodriquez Lopez, as he’s been one of my biggest influences as a guitarist.
At the end of the day, what do you hope your fans take away from your music? What do you hope is the message of your songs?
Be yourself, accept people’s differences, and cut the bullshit. We want people to celebrate who they are and let it all out. ALL are welcome in our crew as long as they respect everyone else.
Is there anything else that you would like to share with our readers about yourselves and your music?
Check us out and let us know what you think. If you are in a band or a solo artist, send us your music. We love listening to new stuff and spend a lot of time in the van.
