If it looks, walks and talks like a tenant, can it be a lodger?
To understand the difference between a lease and a licence to occupy, one needs to appreciate the impact of each agreement. This requires going back in time where, in response to the dire state of private housing in post-World War II England, the Rent Acts of 1957 and 1977 were enacted. To many landlords, these Acts made having a lodger much more attractive than having a tenant. Naturally, the courts faced several cases where it was not immediately clear whether the arrangement in question was a lease or a license. This article examines these cases and the framework the law now uses to tell a tenant from a lodger.
Does the title of the agreement determine its nature?
One thing the Rent Acts did was grant tenants the right to demand a fair rent. The tenant in Street v Mountford  AC 809 tried to claim this right, so his landlord sought a court declaration that the agreement between them was not a tenancy. After all, it was titled a “license agreement” and a licensee did not have a right to a fair rent. The Court of Appeal considered the key elements of a lease and ruled that exclusive possession was the conclusive factor. Since Mountford had been granted residential accommodation with exclusive possession for a specified term and there was no provision of services which would require the landlord to enter the property, the court held that it was a lease.
Does exclusive possession determine the nature of the agreement?
Exclusive possession is given to someone on the basis that no one else will be given the same right to the same property at the same time. Interestingly, the same can be true for a licence as well. Take Clore v Theatrical Properties  3 All ER 48 for instance, where the claimant, in an attempt to establish an overriding interest over part of a theatre, argued that they had a lease to sell refreshments and programmes at the front of the building. Their written contract was in fact worded like a lease. The court held this agreement to be a license and accepted that even licenses can be granted on the basis that no one else will have the right to occupy the same premises at the same time. This begs the question of exactly what is the nature of the exclusive possession that defines a lease in the eyes of the law.
This question could probably have been answered by the defendant in Aslan v Murphy  1 WLR 766 who, to make his tenant appear like a lodger, required the tenant to vacate the premises for 90 minutes every day so he could allegedly enter and clean the room. The court realised that this arrangement was a sham: the landlord never actually intended to make use of the spare key or provide services. The court said that an occupier would be a lodger if the landlord provides attendance or services which require them (or people authorised by them) to exercise unrestricted access to and use of the premise.
Is the language of an agreement enough to determine its nature?
Another sham was found in Antonaides v Villiers  1 AC 417 where the agreements in question explicitly stated that the Rent Acts would not apply and that the tenants would share occupation with their landlord. In seeking repossession of the flat, the landlord relied on provisions in the agreement, such as the fact that it put no limit on the number of persons who could occupy the flat, to argue that the agreement did not have any characteristics of a tenancy. The court rejected these arguments and saw through the sham which had been purposefully designed to avoid the Rent Acts.
Adopting the language of a lodger agreement is a very common move for those who did not wish to fall within the scope of the Rents Acts. The landlord in Westminster City Council v Clarke  2 AC 288 granted a license agreement to the occupier which even had a clause which said he could be asked to change rooms or share his room with another occupier. The House of Lords said that neither public nor private landlords can free themselves from the legal protection offered to tenants by simply adopting the language of a license to occupy. In this case, however, the agreement was found to be a license for reasons such as the fact the landlord was a provider of hostel accommodation for homeless people. The grant of exclusive possession would clearly have been inconsistent with the purpose for which the occupier had been provided with accommodation.
The facts are slightly similar in Gray v Taylor  1 WLR 1093, where the defendant lived in an almshouse (a type of charitable housing for people on low income). When she was asked to leave, she argued that a court-issued eviction was necessary since she was an assured tenant under section 1 of the Housing Act 1988. The court held her agreement to be a license because for a number of reasons, notably the fact that granting a tenancy in an almshouse would undermine the objects of the charity if the occupier was allowed to remain even when they stopped satisfying the conditions for residency. Thus, she was a licensee and excluded occupier.
When is an agreement a tenancy or a licence?
When trying to determine whether a particular agreement grants a tenancy or a licence to occupy, it is crucial that the agreement itself is studied. What does it purport to be? What is the nature of the rights it expressly or implicitly grants occupiers? Are its provisions intended to be acted upon? Is it even possible to act upon them? It is also crucial to look at the actual arrangement: how do the landlord and occupiers behave? What is the nature of their relationship?

Australians are one of the biggest players in the world. Approximately 80% of the adult population is linked to some type of gambling. And this country has a great tradition linked to betting. In fact, the first official lottery took place in 1881 and the first horse race was held in 1810.
In Australia there are different regulators of the game depending on the region of the country in which one is. The ACT Gambling and Racing Commission is the gaming commission that operates in the territory of the capital and its surroundings. On the other hand, the Licensing Commission operates in the north of the country, while the Independent Gaming Authority does so in southern Australia. The regions of Victoria, Tasmania, Queensland and New South Wales also have their own regulatory bodies.
Traditionally, gaming in Australia has been legislated at the territorial level, however, since the introduction of online gambling, the Commonwealth has begun to take action on the matter. Therefore, currently gambling and face-to-face casinos are regulated by the different territories, however, online gambling on https://www.casinoslots.store/ is regulated jointly.
Online casinos in Australia
The legislative changes that came into force in 2017 have had a strong impact on the history of online gambling in Australia. This country was one of the most popular markets among online casino operators and players. In fact, UK casinos were extremely popular in the territory. However, these were the first to leave Australia after the ban on online gaming. Still, there are still some reputable online casinos that are willing to accept Australian players like https://www.casinoslots.store/ .
Where does this prohibition come from?
In 2001, the Interactive Gambling Act was passed by the Australian Commonwealth Parliament. This law, aimed at casino operators, prohibited offering online gaming services with real money to Australia's residents. The only exceptions were sports betting and online lottery games. However, this law did not expressly prohibit Australian individuals from accessing betting houses and online casinos (as it was a law for operators). In practice, it was not a very effective measure because despite the Interactive Gambling Act multiple foreign operators continued to offer their services to Australian players without suffering serious consequences.
With the objective of covering the legal loopholes that the law of 2001 had left and thus being able to effectively prohibit online gambling in the country, in 2006 the Interactive Gambling Bill law was proposed and it was approved the following year. This new measure did have the desired impact and caused the departure of a large number of game operators from the country, such as https://www.casinoslots.store/ . Today this situation remains.

Environmental Wave Barriers for Small Craft Harborsby Jeffrey F. Gilman, Nottingham & Drage Inc, Seattle, United States,
Dennis Nottingham, Nottingham & Drage Inc, Seattle, United States,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: World Marina '91
This paper describes the history and development of the environmental wave barrier and the current planning and design being undertaken for a major expansion of the small boat harbor at Seward, Alaska. Through physical modeling, to be undertaken in the spring and summer of 1991 in Vancouver, British Columbia, we hope to further develop the wave barrier concept where moderately high waves and an environmentally sensitive site intersect. The need for environmentally acceptable breakwaters adequate to protect small craft harbors from waves up to 3 m. in height has led to the development of a new safe wave reflecting structure. Previously, similar wave 'fences' had been tested and used, but through the course of our research we have found that these barriers are not totally effective. The first 'permeable wave barrier' that we designed was successfully installed at a U.S. Coast Guard facility in Oregon in 1980. Continued monitoring of the facility has verified the as-designed performance of the breakwater, even in severe storm events exceeding the original design parameters. As it was environmentally desirous to allow for circulation and fish passage, the breakwater's wave board, supported by steel piling, was not extended completely to the ocean bottom; hence the terms 'permeable' or environmental' wave barrier. The further development of the environmental wave barrier for higher wave heights necessitates the incorporation of high-capacity tension piles into its design. While the first wave barrier utilized conventional steel pipe piles, the next facility will use the spin-fin pile. The spin-fin employs fins welded to pipe piles at an angle; thus, the pile actually screws into the ground during driving. As a result, pile pull-out capacity is greatly increased; especially under repeated failure loads. This paper includes a brief discussion of spin-fins.

US raises concerns with China over alleged missile ties with NK
WASHINGTON (Yonhap) -- The United States government said Wednesday it has conveyed worries to China over its alleged missile cooperation with North Korea.
"I will say that we have raised our own concerns with China about allegations that Chinese entities have assisted the DPRK (North Korea) missile program," Victoria Nuland, spokeswoman for the State Department, said at a press briefing.
She said the U.S. took issue with the matter "in recent weeks," but she refused to give details, citing a protocol on intelligence-related affairs.
China has long been suspected of assisting North Korea's development of various missiles. The North launched a long-range rocket in mid-April, which fell apart minutes after lift-off.
During a military parade two days later, the reclusive communist nation unveiled what seemed to be new advanced missiles on transporter-erector-launchers.
Earlier this week, the Asahi Shimbun, a Japanese newspaper, reported the Japanese government had confirmed China's exports of four special vehicles for transportation and launching of ballistic missiles to North Korea in August.
Both the U.S. and South Korea were aware of that, Asahi said in its report, which it said is based on multiple government sources.
It added that the U.S., South Korea and Japan decided not to formally raise the issue because cooperation with China is needed to stave off another North Korean nuclear test.
"I'm not going to speak to the specific concerns. I'm not going to speak to, you know, where we are or aren't, other than to say that we have, in recent weeks, raised our concerns," Nuland said.
Nuland emphasized Washington would get tough on Pyongyang for its missile and nuclear programs,
"We will continue to work with China and others in the international community to enforce the U.N.'s sanctions on North Korea's ballistic and nuclear missile program," she said.
On the meeting of the South Korean and U.S. defense and foreign ministers, to be held in Washington on Thursday, she said a wide range of issues will be on agenda.
She would not be drawn into a question as to whether Seoul's push for the extension of its ballistic missiles will be discussed.
"We're going to talk about the full range of issues that we have, bilateral issues, regional issues, global issues. So beyond that, I think we'll let the meetings go forward, and then both secretaries will come out with their counterparts tomorrow and meet you," she said.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta will attend the so-called two-plus-two talks with South Korea, the second of their kind. Their counterparts are Foreign Minister Kim Sung-hwan and Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin.

What is motion sickness?
Motion sickness is a sick feeling triggered by movement. It occurs in cars, buses, trains, planes, or boats. It can occur on amusement rides or virtual reality experiences. Seeing the movement of others or things can trigger it. This condition is not life-threatening, however, it can make traveling unpleasant. Planning ahead helps prevent, avoid, or reduce the effects. Other triggers include:
- Being in the back seat of a car unable to see the horizon
- Reading in the car
- Not getting enough air in the car
Motion sickness is common in older people, pregnant women, and children between the ages of 5 and 12. Also, it’s common in people who have migraine headaches. It may be genetic. Once the motion stops, you’ll gradually feel better. In rare cases, the condition is triggered by a problem with your inner ear. This could be due to fluid buildup or an ear infection. Parkinson’s disease is another cause of the condition.
Symptoms can strike without warning. They can get worse quickly. You may feel sick to your stomach (nausea). Other symptoms include vomiting, pale skin, headache, a cold sweat, dizziness, and irritability.
What causes motion sickness?
Motion sickness is an imbalance between what you see and what you feel. In the car, the car is moving forward. However, your body is standing still. This imbalance is what causes you to feel sick.
You may notice a pattern of sickness when you travel. See your doctor if you experience motion sickness repeatedly. Your doctor will do a physical exam. They will look inside your ears and at your eyes. Your doctor will ask you questions about your health history before recommending treatment.
If you know you get motion sickness when traveling, plan ahead. These steps can prevent it or relieve the symptoms:
- Take motion sickness medicine one to two hours before traveling.
- Choose the right seat. The front passenger seat is best in the car. Choose the midpoint on a boat. Sit over the wing on a plane. Face forward on a train. Sit near a window on a train. These seats have fewer bumps. They allow you to see the horizon. If you are on a cruise, book a cabin in the front or middle of the ship. Request a room that is closest to the water level.
- Get plenty of air. Use the air conditioner or roll down the window in a car. Direct the vent toward you on a plane. Sit near a window when you’re on a covered boat.
- Avoid things you can’t change. For example, don’t ride on a speed boat. Waves and bumps can make you sick. If you can’t avoid it, take medicine in advance.
- Don’t read while riding in a car, plane, or boat. Look out the window at the horizon. Look at a distant object.
- Lie down when you feel sick.
- Avoid a heavy meal before or during travel. Eat small portions of plain food instead. Don’t eat greasy, spicy, or acidic foods before or during travel.
- Drink lots of water. Avoid alcohol.
- Talk to your doctor about different therapies. This might include pressure bands (worn on your wrist).
If your symptoms last longer than a few days, see your doctor.
Common medicines that treat motion sickness include Benadryl, Dramamine, and scopolamine. The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) recommends scopolamine. It eases nausea and vomiting. It does not make you sleepy. A skin patch works best.
Antihistamines (one brand name: Benadryl) are helpful. However, these usually make you sleepy. Non-drowsy antihistamines are not effective in treating or preventing motion sickness. Another type of medicine is called antiemetics. These are used to treat nausea and vomiting.
Some of these medicines are prescription. Some are available over-the-counter. Talk to your doctor to determine which is best for you. These medicines work best when taken before you travel.
Once nausea begins, eat a few, plain crackers and drink clear, fizzy drinks (ginger ale is best) to relieve nausea.
Living with motion sickness
Planning ahead is the best advice for motion sickness. If your symptoms are mild, medicines are effective. Be sure to carry the proper medications with you while traveling.
Questions to ask your doctor
- Can medicine help after the symptoms start?
- Is motion sickness a sign of a more serious health problem?
- Can I take motion sickness medicine if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
- Are motion sickness medicines safe to take with other medicines?

LAREDO, TX – The Winnipeg Goldeyes (4-2) beat the Laredo Lemurs 5-4 at Uni-Trade Stadium on Tuesday night.
Trailing 3-1 in the top of the seventh inning, Wes Darvill worked a full count, leadoff walk against Lemurs’ relief pitcher Luis de la Cruz. Carlton Tanabe followed with a line drive single down the left field line that chased Darvill to third base. Maikol Gonzalez crushed a three-run home run to straightaway left field to provide Winnipeg with its first lead of the night.
“You need to go up and have some plate discipline in that kind of situation,” said Goldeyes’ hitting coach Tom Vaeth. “Wes did exactly what we needed him to do. Those were three big runs.”
In the top of the eighth, Casio Grider reached second on an error by Lemurs’ shortstop JD Pulfer, and scored the Goldeyes’ fifth run when Darvill singled hard to centre field.
“We followed that up with a little bit of insurance,” said Vaeth. “We capitalized on their error. You’ve got to do that when you’re playing against good teams.”
Having thrown just 82 pitches through seven innings, Goldeyes’ starter Mikey O’Brien went out for the bottom of the eighth. Alvaro Rondon and Reggie Wilson opened the inning with back-to-back singles. After Pulfer sacrificed the runners ahead, Cameron McVey relieved O’Brien with the tying runs in scoring position. McVey retired three-hole hitter Ty Morrison on a groundout to second. Rondon scored on the play to cut the Goldeyes’ lead to 5-4, while Wilson advanced to third carrying the tying run. McVey then retired Travis Denker on a groundout to Gonzalez at short to end the inning.
“We were able to come back and get them there at the end,” said Vaeth. “Great job by Mikey keeping us close. Mikey settled down and kept us in it.”
Jailen Peguero worked a perfect ninth for a second straight night to earn his first save of the year. With one out, Gonzalez made a leaping catch at short to rob Drew Martinez of a base hit.
Denker homered for a second straight game to give the Lemurs (2-4) an early lead. Pulfer reached on a one-out, infield single in the bottom of the first. Two batters later, Denker hit a two-run shot to left field that made it 2-0.
The Lemurs added an unearned run in the bottom of the third. With runners on first and second and one out, Morrison reached on an error charged to Jacob Rogers that scored Wilson. Denker was next with runners on the corners and still only one out, but O’Brien induced an inning-ending double play to keep Winnipeg within striking distance.
David Rohm drove in Adam Heisler with an RBI single in the top of the fourth to pull the Goldeyes within two. Rohm doubled in the second inning to extend his season-opening hitting streak to six games.
O’Brien (2-0) earned the win, allowing four runs, three earned, on seven hits. O’Brien walked one, struck out four, and matched a career high with seven and one-third innings pitched. O’Brien last worked that deep on August 15th of last year pitching for the High-A Carolina League’s Frederick Keys.
Heisler finished with three hits, and recorded his seventh and eighth stolen bases of the year.
de la Cruz (0-1) took the loss for Laredo.
Lemurs’ starter Ryan Beckman took a no-decision, allowing one earned run on four hits in six innings.
The series concludes Wednesday night at 7:05 p.m. Duke von Schamann (0-1, 5.06) faces right-hander Scott Garner (0-0, 0.00). All the action can be heard locally on 93.7 FM CJNU and worldwide at www.cjnu.ca
The Goldeyes’ 2016 home opener is scheduled for Monday, May 30th versus the Sioux Falls Canaries. Individual tickets for all home games at Shaw Park are on sale now by calling 1-855-GOLDEYE or visiting ticketmaster.ca For information regarding season tickets, 10-Game Mini Packs, or group outings, call the Goldeyes’ office at (204) 982-BASE, or visit the Goldeyes’ official website at www.goldeyes.com

I was wondering, do some of you skip feeding mice to hatchlings and start them on rats right away?
I only use mice if i have too mice are a necessary evil if you don’t have to use them don’t
Some breeders do and some dont but i also know a huge chunk of breeders just jump straight to rats but in some instances like a boob egg or a smaller than average egg that makes it will more than likely need to start off on mice first but either way you decide to feed they all usually do just fine
Depends really what’s available in your area.
I personally start on rats, they don’t have as high fat as mice, and eventually all balls should take rats as adults if all goes well.
In the long run, it really doesn’t matter. More what works for you I would go with.
Agree with nathan
Why do you consider mice a necessary evil? I am deeply curious
Too fatty good for high metabolism snakes not so good for ball pythons
We try to start all of our balls on day old rats if possible. We pick out the smallest ones. We breed our own rats so we always have plenty on hand.
While overall mice have a higher average fat content, it’s going to depend on strain and age. Mice range in body fat percentage from 16-39% while rats range from 8-22%. Personally I feed C57bl/6 mice which tend to be lower in body fat
I used to when I first started breeding I wanted to start everything on rats however 3 in years into it I started to start everything on mice and switch after 3 meals which is very easy when they are that young, and I have been doing it ever since.
The reason? Higher success rate of hatchlings eating their first meal first time offered which was not the case with rats.
I was wondering when I should try switching them off of mice. I tried this method with my fourth clutch. I waited an additional week after I separated them into their own tubs and then I offered fuzzy mice. This was the first time out of my four clutches that almost every baby took its first meal for me. I had one holdout, but it’s much better than my usual odds with insisting on only offering rats!
Usually 4 mice hoppers will get them over to rats easily I’ve never needed more than 4 mice hoppers to move any BP to rats.
@magic_mutations I atually just tried this for the first time after always starting them on fuzzy mice. It actually worked well. Out of 14 hachlings, only 2 didn’t eat the first time offered their fuzzy rats

Nagpur, Feb 21 (PTI) Set to experiment with KevinPietersen as an opener, England take on the Netherlands intheir World Cup Group B match here tomorrow aiming for theflying start that would set them up for the bigger battlesthat lie ahead in the mega event.
Drubbed 1-6 by Australia in the ODI series just beforethe World Cup, Andrew Strauss and his boys would be desperateto put aside the disappointment when they face off against theDutch at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Jamtha.
When Steven Gerrards and John Terrys are pitted againstthe likes Arjen Robben and Robin van Persie, there isn''t muchto choose between the two teams but when the English cricketteam takes on its ''Oranje'' counterpart, it becomes amismatched battle.
But as England wicketkeeper Matt Prior yesterday pointedout, it would be important to have a good start and taking theNetherlands lightly could end up giving the English a rudeshock because World Cups have had a history of having at leastone match in which the David manages to down the Goliath.
The English, in fact, don''t have to look too far behindfor an example. Two years ago in their opening encounter ofthe World Twenty20 at the Lord''s, the Dutchmen stunned thehosts by four wickets which is till date the most memorableachievement by the Oranje brigade.
Six players who played that day -- Bas Zuiderent, PeterBorren, Pietar Seelaar, Tom de Grooth, Alex Kerevezee, Ryanten Doeschate -- are in the current squad and would be lookingto do an encore here.
However, Dutch coach Peter Drinnen is all cautious whenreminded of that achievement.
"We don''t want to get ahead of ourselves as we want toperform to the best of our abilities," Drinnen said.
The focus of the England team will be obviously on theirstar batsman Kevin Pietersen who will be seen in a new avataras an opener.
The destruction that KP can cause during fieldingrestrictions can be a bowler''s worst nightmare coming true inbroad daylight. And the Englishmen will be obviously hoping tomake full use of Powerplays with him around.
Pietersen was impressive in his new role when he emergedthe top-scorer for his team with a useful 66 during their 67run win over Pakistan in a warm-up game at Fatullah.
While England will be missing Eoin Morgan in themiddle-order, a lot will depend on how Ian Bell, Ravi Boparaand Paul Collingwood perform during the middle overs when theproceedings will slow down a bit. More PTI KHS PM MRM


Trailer and body manufacturer Schmitz Cargobull (UK) is to relocate its head office and parts facility to Warrington, as it reorganises its operation following the decision to close its factory in the North-East last year.
The move ends any hope of production returning to the UK, and the transfer of the head office and parts store means the 44,000m2 Harelaw site will be sold.
Paul Avery, MD of Schmitz Cargobull (UK), says Warrington is an ideal location. "It is home to a large and well-established Schmitz Cargobull operation already, plus it offers the capacity to comfortably accommodate our head office and parts teams," he says.
The 2.5-acre Warrington site, which houses the used trailers and refurbishment operation, has a three-bay workshop, parts warehouse and on-site parking for more than 80 trailers. Avery says the parts warehouse in Warrington can be fully used to serve as the company's primary UK parts store.
"From September it will house more than £500,000-worth of original equipment parts," he says.
"Many of the largest UK trailer fleets are based in a 150-mile radius of Birmingham and our home in Warrington will put us firmly in that geographic area, which is a positive step."
The move will take place in the summer and comes 10 months after the German company decided to close the doors on the Harelaw factory.

This sedan strikes a beautiful balance between power, luxury, style and elegance. The 2018 Acura TLX is an animal. With a 2.4-liter, 206-horsepower engine, standard, this car will respond more like a sports car than a luxury sedan, and the optional 3.5-liter engine with 290 horsepower pushes the envelope even further. Power means nothing without handling, and the TLX takes handling to a whole other level with standard all-wheel steering. Now those rear wheels can change their angle of attack and create a car that turns and responds to steering-wheel inputs like no other car before it. This performance comes without sacrificing luxury. Standard power-adjustable heated leather seats with dual-zone automatic climate control ensure you are always in the lap of luxury.
2018 Restyled Performance Sedan
Starting at $33,0001
TLX shares a host of advancements with the iconic NSX including the Integrated Dynamics System, the Dual-Clutch Transmission on 2.4L TLX models, or the exclusive torque-vectoring handling on TLX SH-AWD® models. Both vehicles are also American-made in Marysville, Ohio using domestic and globally sourced parts.
Our philosophy is simple – safety performance for everyone. That’s why there’s a generous list of driver assistance systems that come standard in every 2018 Acura TLX. Drive with confidence from AcuraWatch™ technology including Collision Mitigation Braking, Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keeping Assist.
You’ve got choices. The standard 8-Speed Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) with torque converter is paired with a high-revving, 206-hp inline-4. Or go next level with an available, exceptionally smooth-shifting 9-Speed Automatic Transmission with a potent 290-hp V-6.

A wealthy patriarch wants his daughter to marry his new wife's son. Unbeknownst to him, said daughter has already secretly married a man deemed inappropriate for her. Meanwhile, in another part of the world, a man is raising the patriarch’s long-lost sons, both abducted as infants.
Is it Dallas?
Is it Dynasty?
No, it is William Shakespeare’s Cymbeline.
Cymbeline is not a soap opera, but it might well be, judging from the convoluted and highly improbable plotlines. The story is so outrageously unbelievable that you need to suspend any sense of logic to engage with it. However, Cheek by Jowl has worked hard at pulling the strings together to create a coherent production and has come up trumps.
The company has chosen what seems to be a perfect way to stage the play: to tell it as a proper fairy-tale. In a way, we, as audience members, are following the actors’ attempt to tell the story rather than the story itself. It is always clear that this is an artifice. When Cloten, the son of the Queen, is introduced, he greets the audience with a ‘hi’. The audience is addressed directly on many occasions; it is looked at and reckoned with – this makes us feel that we are part of the show. One actor (Tom Hiddleston, who does a great job) plays the two characters Posthumus and Cloten and his transformation from one to the other happens regularly on stage, in full view of the audience. This is elegantly done, with a buttoning of a jacket here and a pair of spectacles there.
The stage is almost bare and only the most pertinent of props are being used. This type of performance does not need elaborate set designs. Instead, the actors use the whole stage, lingering in and out, as opposed to entering and exiting awkwardly. Nevertheless, everything is extraordinarily precise: the acting, the sound, the lighting. This precision is in danger of rendering the production somehow clinical but it turns out to be exactly how we want to be charmed into submission by a cast that makes sense of an otherwise illogical play.

The consented scheme will provide 676 homes across three plots, concluding Phase 1 of the Meridian Water masterplan.
Enfield Council granted Vistry Partnerships planning consent for Phase 1B of Meridian One at committee last week. Meridian One received Outline Planning Permission in 2013 for 725 residential units split into two phases. Phase 1A – currently on-site to deliver the first 300 homes – was approved as a Reserved Matters Application in 2021. Phase 1B concludes the first phase of the wider Meridian Water masterplan.
We included a variety of amenities set within green streets, a new park and play spaces for children. It brings the council's vision to life by creating a welcoming sense of arrival for anyone stepping out of Meridian Water station.

The design for this phase, developed in equal collaboration between HTA and our friends at Hawkins\Brown, exemplifies our ethos to deliver landscape-led regeneration at scale to deliver fantastic new homes set within an environmentally sensitive, ecologically enhanced new public realm - bringing nature home.
8,000sqm of public open space will be created, which will include roads and footpaths, car and cycle parking provision, play areas as well as a civic square that will establish a welcoming arrival from Meridian Water station.

“I believe it is not right to call RSS and related organization as Sangh Parivar – there are women in the family, respect for the elderly, a sense of compassion and affection – which is not in the RSS. Now I will not call RSS as Sangh Parivar!,” Mr Gandhi tweeted.
The Congress leader’s latest attack on the saffron organisation is believed to be in apparent reference to the recent incident of harassment of two nuns during their train journey via Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh.
Two nuns and two postulants of the Sacred Hearts Congregation of Delhi Province were forced to deboard after a group of men suspected that the girls were being taken for forceful conversion and human trafficking– an accusation that later proved to be false.
Reacting over the development, Mr Gandhi had said that the attack in UP on nuns from Kerala is a result of the vicious propaganda run by the “Sangh Parivar” to pitch one community against another and trample the minorities.
He further called on the nation to introspect and take corrective steps to defeat such “divisive forces”.

Choro, also popularly called chorinho ("little cry" or "little lament"), is an instrumental Brazilian popular music genre which originated in 19th century Rio de Janeiro. Despite its name, the music often has a fast and happy rhythm. It is characterized by virtuosity, improvisation and subtle modulations, and is full of syncopation and counterpoint. Choro is considered the first characteristically Brazilian genre of urban popular music.

Jim Gibbons and Harry Gilmer are linked for their places on the Detroit Lions' all-time roster of players and coaches, but with different results and tenures in their time with the franchise.
Gibbons was a three-time Pro Bowl tight end whose long game-winning touchdown catch against the Baltimore Colts in 1960 is one of the most famous plays in franchise history. Gibbons played 11 seasons with the Lions (1958-68).
Gibbons died on Sunday, Aug. 20, in Encitas, Calif. He would have turned 80 on Sept. 26.
Gilmer's two-season tenure as head coach of the Lions was brief and unsuccessful. But as a player he made the Pro Bowl twice and spent his last two pro seasons with the Lions as a backup quarterback and is regarded as one of Alabama's all-time greats. Gilmer also was a respected assistant coach.
Gilmer also died on Sunday, at his home in O'Fallon, Mo. He was 90.
Gibbons, drafted by the Lions in the sixth round out of Iowa in 1958, had 287 catches and 20 touchdowns in 140 games, all with the Lions.
His most famous catch – and one of the most dramatic in franchise history – gave the Lions a 20-15 come-from-behind road victory over the Baltimore Colts in 1960. It was a game that the Lions had won, lost, and then ultimately won – all in the last minute – in their late bid to win the Western Division title.
With 15 seconds left, the Colts' Lenny Moore made a diving catch on a pass from John Unitas in the back right corner of the end zone to give the Colts a 15-13 lead. Colts fans flooded the field, and the ensuing kickoff had to be delayed until the field was cleared.
Celebration quickly turned to gloom for the Colts.
The Lions returned the kickoff to the 35-yard line. From there, the offense lined up with 10 seconds left on the clock. With Colts defenders lined up deep to defend against a Hail Mary, backup quarterback Earl Moore connected with Gibbons as he cut over the middle.
Gibbons had a clear path to the end zone. He crossed the goal line as time ran out, giving the Lions an improbable victory.
The victory was the second in a season-ending four-game winning streak that left the Lions with a 7-5 record and tied with San Francisco for second place in the division. The Packers finished first, one game ahead at 8-4.
There were few thrills for Gilmer. He was hired in 1965 to replace George Wilson, a popular figure who had a won-loss record of 55-45 with six ties and was head coach of the 1957 team that won the NFL championship.
Gilmer lasted two seasons in Detroit, with a record of 10-16 and two ties. He was dismissed after the 1966 team posted a 4-9-1 record and replaced by Joe Schmidt, a Hall of Fame middle linebacker and an assistant on Gilmer's staff in 1966.
Gilmer was a highly regarded assistant coach before and after his two seasons in Detroit, and he had a successful playing career at Alabama and in the NFL.
He is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame and was drafted first overall by Washington in 1948. He made the Pro Bowl in 1950 and '52 and was traded to the Lions in 1955. Gilmer spent two seasons as a primary backup to Bobby Layne. As a Lion he threw six TD passes against seven interceptions.
Gilmer retired after the 1956 season and went into coaching.

Actos® was approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1999 to treat patients suffering from Type 2 Diabetes. Studies have shown that the active ingredient in Actos®, pioglitazone, can cause severe and potentially fatal side effects.
Many patients have been seriously harmed by this dangerous and defective medication. If you or a loved one took Actos® to treat Type 2 Diabetes and suffered severe side effects, you may be entitled to compensation. Call The Yost Legal Group at 1-800-YOST-LAW (967-8529) to learn how we may be able to help.
Actos® was advertised as a way for Diabetes patients to control their blood sugar levels when combined with diet and exercise. Actos® became one of the most widely used diabetes medications in the U.S., with more than 2 million prescriptions filled in 2010 alone. Manufacturer Takeda Pharmaceuticals grossed more than $4 billion in revenue from Actos® sales that year.
Despite the drug’s popularity, the FDA has conducted several studies linking Actos® with several dangerous medical conditions.
In 2007, the FDA issued a boxed warning label for Actos® and alerted doctors and patients that the active ingredient pioglitazone can cause dangerous side effects including:
- Increased risk of congestive heart failure
- Eye disease and eye swelling also known as Macular Edema
- Increased risk of bone fractures in female patients
- Liver and kidney disease and failure
Actos® use is also linked to a significantly increased risk of bladder cancer. In 2011, the FDA concluded that using the drug Actos for a period of 24 months or longer correlated to roughly a 40% increase in a patient’s risk of developing bladder cancer. The FDA required manufacturer Takeda Pharmaceuticals to revise the boxed warning label on Actos® to alert patients about this potentially fatal health risk.
While the FDA has not recalled Actos® from the U.S. market, the drug has been banned in other major markets around the world, including France and Germany.
The Yost Legal Group Will Protect Your Rights
Patients that have been seriously harmed after taking Actos® have come forward to seek compensation against the drugs manufacturers. In April of 2014, a federal jury ordered manufacturers Takeda Pharmaceuticals and Eli Lilly & Co. to pay over $9 billion in punitive damages. The jury in this case found that the drug’s manufacturers hid the cancer risks of Actos®, jeopardizing the health and safety of millions of patients.
If you or a loved one developed bladder cancer, heart problems, or any other serious medical condition after taking Actos® to treat Type 2 Diabetes, call The Yost Legal Group at 1-800-YOST-LAW (967-8529) for a FREE, confidential consultation.
When you call, an experienced Baltimore Drug Injury attorney will investigate every detail of your situation at no cost to you and help provide the answers you seek. The Yost Legal Group is made up of experienced attorneys ready to pursue your possible case with compassion and determination.
At The Yost Legal Group, you will never pay an attorney’s fee up front. We take all cases on a contingency basis, meaning that you owe us nothing until we recover for you.

February 9 is gearing to be quite a hectic day for smartphone enthusiasts. Samsung is gearing up to introduce its new Galaxy S22 series on that date, and there are other brands also bringing devices in the same day. Now, Vivo joins the list with the release of the Vivo T1 5G. While Samsung is focusing on the entire world with its release, Vivo’s release focuses on India. After all, the company already unveiled its Vivo T1 and T1X in China in October last year. Now, an entry version of the devices is about to enter the Asian market. According to Vivo, the handset comes as the “fastest and the slimmest 5G smartphone under the INR 20,000 mark”.
The company didn’t disclose many details about the handset. However, we already know it packs the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G SoC. Unlike its predecessor the Snapdragon 690 5G, we’re seeing this chipset in many more smartphones. Realme is said to use this chip with one of its Realme 9 Pros, and Xiaomi is also using it with the Redmi Note 11 Pro series. Now, Vivo joins the list with Qualcomm’s mid-range 5G chipset. It’s made on the 6 nm architecture and focuses on efficiency, rather than on brute performance.
Gizchina News of the week
Vivo T1 (China) specifications
The Vivo T1 released in China seems to be a superior smartphone thanks to the Snapdragon 778G. Apparently, Vivo India is cutting down the price with a cheaper processor. The other specs probably will remain the same. For instance, the handset has an IPS LCD screen with a 6.67-inch diagonal and Full HD+ resolution. This display has HDR10 support with a 120 Hz refresh rate and 650 nits brightness.
The handset also has a 64 MP main camera with PDAF, an 8 MP ultrawide, and a 2 MP macro camera. The device also has a 16 MP selfie camera on a center-aligned punch-hole. The handset is available in variants with up to 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of Internal Storage. We don’t expect the Indian variant to bring this higher variant, perhaps we’ll see the 8 GB with 128 GB variant.
The Vivo T1 has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and has a 3.5 mm headphone jack. It draws its powers from a huge 5,000 mAh battery with 44 W fast-charging. Other features include dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.2, and more. The handset runs Android 11-based Funtouch OS 12. It’ll probably get Android 12 in a near future.

News: 5Pointz Redevelopment
The owner of the Long Island City building known as 5Pointz, Jerry Wolkoff, has started discussing plans to redevelop the area. Wolkoff, who has owned the Davis Street warehouse for 40 years, said the time has come to repurpose the block which the 5-story, 20,000 square-foot building currently stands, to a group of city planning officials. The block where the warehouse currently sits will be replaced with two high-rise residential towers totaling 2 million square-feet including 1,300 rental units. restaurants and a supermarket. Mr. Wolkoff has promised to include affordable studio space for artists in his blueprints, and also devote a rear wall of the building for graffiti. 5Pointz has been a mecca for graffiti artists for more than a decade but complaints about the activity at 5Pointz and the poor condition of the building outweighed any means for the space to remain open.The board is in agreement with the owner that the building should come down, but there is some concern over the proposed development for the site. He plans to formally submit a proposal to the city in the next two weeks. The size and scope of the project are still undetermined. In the meantime, 5points is enlisting artists to spruce up the walls and roof before demolition begins. “If the building is going down, I want to get these walls looking museum status in my eyes” says MeresOne. It is estimated that 1,000 graffiti artists paint at 5Pointz each year.

BellatorMMA has made numerous television deal announcements during the course of this week. So we at FiveRoundWar thought we’d break it down for those interested in Bellator Newcastle.
Why tune in to watch Bellator Newcastle?
As a mixed martial arts promotion, Bellator are going from strength to strength. Their production and talent are excelling, with their talent pool including numerous fighters who have been and done it in the UFC. Not only that but many of the fighters are still relevant and very much in their prime. This includes Gegard Moussasi, Rory McDonald and Ryan Bader to name a few.
Bellator Newcastle will mark the first of up to six events in a European series that will take place during the course of 2019.
The card is headlined by a Brazilian knockout artist in Patricky Freire, who holds 13 knockout victories. He will be looking to continue this trend against Ryan Scope. Ryan is from Sunderland and with the fight taking place in Newcastle, the fans could very well turn on Ryan and root for Patricky.
Reality TV star Aaron Chalmers is in the co-main event against Corey Browning. At first, many overlooked Aaron and didn’t take him very seriously. However, he has proven to be a credible fighter who should not be overlooked. Aaron now has four first round finishes to his name and the home town hero will be looking to shine once again!
Where and when can I watch Bellator Newcastle?
Bellator Newcastle will take place on Saturday 9th February 2019 live on either Channel 5 or 5 Spike. This depends on where you live in England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland or Ireland.
It’s no secret that Geordies love a good scrap! The atmosphere will be electric in Newcastle so be sure to tune in on Saturday night. We will be live tweeting throughout the main card on Twitter.

Welcome back to the end of the week! Here’s a few more select previews that may come across as a more dour and morose yet can be powerful and original, starting with a look at Batman:
“Batman and Me,” well, is actually more about addition. But with the release of “The Batman” next week it seems poignant to explore the line between fandom and compulsion:
Directed by Michael Wayne and produced by Andrew Martyn and Michael Wayne, Freestyle Digital Media will release this direct-to-VOD on March 8th, 2022.
“Phoenix Rising,” is something I beg you to watch. Normalizing safety for women to communicate experienced abuse causes a wide variety of reactions from viewers, but abuse like this is still so underreported and if the work that those involved with this can truly affect the statute of limitations to help survivors… I personally just hope this brings some support for people who need it:
Directed by Amy Berg, and produced by Amy Berg, Grace Sin, Lesley Goldman, and Katie Doering, HBO will release this in two parts, streaming on March 15th, 2022.
“Black Crab” is Netflix’s next release. A swedish film, Noomi Rapace leads in a post-apocalyptic thriller with striking visuals:
Directed by Adam Berg, and written by Adam Berg and Pelle Rådström, Netflix will release this streaming on March 18th, 2022.
“Barbarians” is a different sort of thriller, in the vein of “Funny Games” with a bit of “Knock Knock” campiness. Iwan Rheon co-stars at a family dinner that turns into a twisted, violent game:
Written and directed by Charles Dorfman, and produced by Laurie Cook, Jason Newmark, and Charles Dorfman, IFC Films will release this in select US theaters and on VOD April 1st, 2022.
“Measure of Revenge” features unique visuals and an interesting choice of protagonist for an otherwise familiar, borderline formulic revenge thriller. What interests me is how the shift in perspective affects things when following a mother in this way:
Directed by Peyfa, Vertical Entertainment will release this in select US theaters and on VOD on March 18th, 2022.
“OFFSEASON” is being released through SHUDDER and explores an island town with dark secrets, which is a vibe I’m clamoring for after “Midnight Mass”:
Written and directed by Mickey Keating, Shudder and RLJE will release this in select US theaters and on VOD on March 11th, 2022.
And finally, there’s an exciting, original sci-fi project following “drifters” through a new “cinematic universe” as they scavenge through debris. Reminiscent of “Cowboy Bebop” and “Firefly,” “The Fringe” might be the project I’m most excited for in the near future:
Developed by Zeek Earl and Christopher Caldwell, they seem to be attempting to develop an independent cinematic franchise. You can find the film’s official website here and follow them on Twitter @fringedrifters.
I hope you’ve found something moving or exciting this week, and if not, next week there will be a whole new pool of glimpses into the near future. See you then!

Asher Roth – ‘Fast Life’ (Feat. Vic Mensa)
Asher Roth will release his sophomore album Retrohash (full track list here) on April 22 which will mark his first studio LP in 5 years. A new song ‘Fast Life’ featuring Chicago rapper Vic Mensa has been unveiled today along with album pre-order on iTunes. Stream the feel good song below.


Yes, I know it is the 19th of Jan and it’s a tad bit too late but then again, it must be done. So before I begin talking about the stuff that defined, re-defined, fucked the shit out of 2015, let me just talk about one little thing that I bought towards the end of the year that kind of summed up the year for me.
After very little thought and much desire, I got myself some cool headphones.
Bose. Noise Cancellation. ‘Nuff said!
It was a dream in a dream come true for me and it’s literally the best friend I never had. So the point of the mention besides the obvious’ guess what I got’ announcement is that my ‘Bose’ became my escape. I could be walking down a road, there would be traffic, random people saying stuff I really didn’t need to know and then at the flick of a switch, it would all be gone. It would just be the music, me and the road ahead. Even though it invariably was a walk to office or a rather late night walk back from office or a drink, the world was lost in those few seconds.
That, in essence, was 2015 for me. Block out, focus and bang the music kicks in.
People close to me had much to complain in 2015 with me constantly enveloped in work and wondering when they would see my face. Must have been the winning company and not the face i’m guessing but self deprecating jokes aside, it was a phenomenon that was pretty constant. But in all honesty, it was a year, or the start of many which I had dedicated to working and building, what is possibly the coolest brand in the country right now. The endless hours were rarely a burden except for the few nights the coffee machine gave up on us, but otherwise, these were the moments you live for. In launching our Fashion range to working on some of the most exciting projects heads have been broken on, this was all my years of worshipping marketing could have asked for.
There were highs and the very obvious lows, surrounded by the rather hollow neutrals which seemed to be another constant when the adrenaline wasn’t pumping. There was also an abysmal 165 kms run versus close to thrice that the year before and what could have only been a miraculous 2013 that was so much more. So there were losses, but there was also a Design conference in Goa that restored my faith in the power of imagination and the overwhelming beauty of free alcohol. The concoction was rather exquisite. There were many trips to Delhi and Mumbai at which point I begin to lose focus, as I begin to meander to the crazy food I ate over the year. A gulab jamun filled with Old Monk, a 4 course Pork masterclass, a/many cigar smoked whisky cocktails, Parle G cheese cakes, Kheema and Butter Pav, Goan caramel tea, so much burjee pav, beer at Doolally, Hummus Samosas, lime air on Prawns, 7 different Egg Kejriwals, more bheja than the brain could take, Sathyam cheese/butter popcorn. Phew! And so much more. Guess that’s where the miles were lost.
2015 was also where I cancelled all the noise in my head when it comes to love, women and all that jazz. I guess I was the victim of over-thinking and over-evaluating it all. It’s where a part of me realised some pretty fundamental truths about what I had come to believe as love and attachment, sealed by the fact that loneliness is a state of mind and that when surrounded with great work, better food and amazing friends, there is a way around the pining, wishing, regretting and recycling the love.
And… for some new records. Most hours spent dancing in a calendar year since, possibly, well, a long time. Most variety of batshit crazy awesome food. Most time spent working in a single day, week, month, ever. Most time spent appreciating the beauty of Monica Dogra. Most time spent watching TV shows over movies which basically meant that Bollywood and Hollywood collectively sucked with Netflix and Amazon being the boss. Most time spent in debates over all things net neutrality, the Modi government, immigration, the Middle East and all that matters. Most time ever spent cursing Manchester United. Most music ever heard and most podcasts ever consumed. Most awesome highs and most mind numbing neutral states of abject loss to the world around me. That was 2015.
2016 will and shall be different. Not to repair anything about 2015, which was definitely awesome but to take things up another notch. There shall be more travel (Hong Kong and Barcelona baby and hopefully more!), more family, even more work, lots more reading (my precious Kindle is here) and a few unexpected twists which are more than welcome to make their way into what promises to be a rock(y)ing year. Time to put off that ‘noise cancellation’ a little more often and hear some of those noises again. They may not be pleasant but they sure be new. And that’s all the heart asks for..

In the last few years we’ve seen the plant-based protein trend explode and experts predict that it will continue to grow. But, not all plant-based proteins are created equally, so today, I’m breaking down the best sources of plant-based protein on the market to help you chose the ones that are right for you.
Beans, Chickpeas, Lentils
Beans, chickpeas, and lentils are part of the legume family and are some of the best sources of plant-based protein. They are all very versatile and are great way to start incorporating more plant-based protein into your diet. Beans and lentils are good sources of protein, iron and fibre, and are inexpensive. They are readily available at the grocery store and you can find them either canned or dried. Dried beans take longer to prepare because they need to be soaked overnight prior to cooking but if you have a pressure cooker (or a multi-purpose pot, like an Instant Pot with a pressure cooker feature), the time to prepare dried beans can be shortened.
Dried lentils are a much quicker to prepare because they don’t need to be soaked overnight and take between 20-40 minutes to cook depending on the variety (red lentils cook faster than brown/green lentils). For a quicker and more convenient option, canned beans and lentils are pre-cooked and ready to use. All you have to do is drain the liquid from the can and give them a good rinse. There are also many pre-made products available at the grocery store made from beans and lentils, such as chickpea or lentil pastas, patties made from black beans, and falafels which are made from chickpeas.
Beans and lentils work well in salads and soups and can be made into patties (for example, as a beef hamburger substitute). They also work well in dishes that include meat, like chili and stew. If you are big meat-lover and are just warming up to the idea of plant-based protein, combining beans with meat might be a good way to start. Try this recipe for 30 Minute Pumpkin Chili!
Edamame is a young soybean that is harvested before it gets to ripe or hard. You can buy them shelled or in their pods and they are available fresh or frozen. They are a good source of protein, iron and calcium. Many people eat them as a snack right out of the pod but they can also be used in a stir-fry, soup, pasta or salad.
Tofu is one of the best sources of plant-based protein. Tofu is a made of condensed soy milk that is pressed into solid white blocks in a process quite similar to cheesemaking. There are different types available based on its firmness – you can get soft or silk tofu, medium, firm and extra firm. All types of tofu are budget-friendly and are good sources of protein, iron and calcium.
Tofu works well in a variety of dishes, is a sponge for any type of flavour that is added to it. If you are just starting out with tofu, most cooking experts suggest using a firmer variety because it can be used in many different ways – baked, in a stir-fry, and fried. For those who are new to using tofu, this recipe for Sheet Pan Crispy Teriyaki Tofu and Broccoli is a great recipe to start with and will impress your entire family. The soft or silken tofu also works well as a protein source in a smoothie as an alternative to protein powder. Once it’s blended with fruit, you won’t even notice it’s there!
Tempeh is a traditional Indonesian food made from soy and many versions also have beans, grains and flavourings. Tempeh has a nutty flavour and like tofu, tends to absorb the flavours, seasonings or sauces added to it making it quite versatile. Tempeh can be cut to look a like steak, or you can cut it into cubes and use it on a skewer or in a stir-fry. Tempeh is made from fermenting soybeans making it a good source of prebiotics and it is also a good source of protein and vitamins and minerals, making it a staple in many vegetarian and vegan diets.
The protein from soy is also commonly used in processed products as a “meatless” alternative to hamburgers, sausages, hot dogs, ground meats and even deli slices. It often appears on an ingredient label as “textured soy protein.” These products are generally highly processed and can contain high amounts of sodium (similar to the amount in the animal versions of deli meats, sausages, and hot dogs) so be sure to read the label before purchasing and limit any highly processed options to an occasional food choice.
Seitan is made out of gluten (the protein found in wheat) and water and is high in protein and in minerals like iron and selenium. For those that want to include more plant-based protein in their diet but cannot eat soy products, this may be a good option. Seitan has a neutral taste and like tofu and tempeh, can take on flavours well. Its firm texture allows it to be used in ways similar to firm tofu and tempeh. Seitan is also found in some premade meat alternative products like “plant-based bacon.”
Pea protein is made from ground yellow split peas and has become quite popular in the past year. It is a good source of protein and iron and provides a soy-free and wheat-free plant protein option for those with allergies. As opposed to buying and preparing items with it yourself (although you can buy it as a powder), this is the main protein source used in some of the newer plant-based meat-alternative options on the market.
Pea-protein is used in the popular Beyond Meat and LightLife plant-based burgers as well as the President’s Choice line of plant-based “chickenless” chicken products and simulated beef burgers. These products tend to have a meaty texture and are made to resemble the animal-based versions. The products that contain pea protein are generally highly processed. Since these products are similar to meat, they can be a great way to try plant-based foods for the first time, but try to limit them to an occasional option as they tend to be high in sodium and can also be expensive.
Nuts and Seeds
Nuts and seeds contain plenty of healthy fats as well as antioxidants and vitamins and minerals but they also contribute protein. A handful of nuts and/or seeds (28g serving/~1.4 cup) provides between 4-6grams of protein. Nuts and seeds are great to eat as part of a snack to get a little bit of protein and healthy fats in between meals but they also work well in salads and baked goods. And of course, when turned into a butter, they work so well on toast or in a sandwich with whole grain bread. Sesame seed butter, known as tahini is increasingly in popularity and is used in baked goods in place of butter or oil, in salad dressings and most commonly, is an ingredient used to make hummus.
When people think of whole grains, they don’t often think about protein, but whole grains can actually contribute a fair amount of protein to someone’s diet and there is a wide variety to chose from and so many ways to incorporate them into your diet. The chart below is an easy way to compare different whole grains and their protein content based on serving sizes. Keep in mind that many people will often eat more than the ½ cup serving size used below so the protein eaten will be much higher than listed. In addition to some protein, whole grains also provide other important nutrients such as fibre, iron magnesium and phosphorous.
Nutritional yeast has a light powdery texture and a cheesy flavour. With 2g of protein per 1 tbsp, nutritional yeast is a great topper for pasta, grain bowls, or popcorn.
If you are looking to incorporate more plant-based options into your diet, there is a wide variety to choose from. Reluctant to try plant-based proteins? Try starting by pairing them with meat as way to ease into it. Many plant-based proteins are highly nutritious, versatile, and can help reduce your grocery bill. Give one a try today and let us know what you think!

text: Abstract: The cation exchange capacity (C.E.C.) of nontronite was determined by titrating the acid clay, prepared by the action of H-resin on nontronite, in water and some nonaqueous solvents. The base-titratable acidities of the acid nontronite, freshly prepared as well as aged, were found to be greater than the acidities extractable with 1 n NaCl; the difference was attributed to the non-exchangeable pH-dependent component of C.E.C. In the freshly prepared sample, H+ and Fe3+ ions were the only exchangeable cations. Ageing produced basic Fe ions which were exchangeable and whose amount increased at the cost of H− and Fe3+ ions. Whatever the age, the total quantity of these exchangeable cations corresponding to the total isomorphous charge, remained constant. The amount of the pH-dependent acidity also remained unchanged. A likely mechanism to account for the observed pH-dependent component of the C.E.C. of nontronite is suggested.


Nowadays, it is unusual to hear people still without internet access, especially in urban cities like Austin. However, statistics show that there are still 55,000 adult Austinites which do not have internet access and 44% have remarked they are not interested with the digital age. In order to help these unconnected Austinites and inspire them to get connected, the City Council launched the Digital Inclusion Program which would open more opportunities for these people to go online. Aside from helping these Austinites get connected, grant funding is available through the Grant for Technology Opportunities Program for inspiring programs that would help digital connectivity. Volunteers are also welcome to assist in helping with the program.

StarLight Garage suggests automobile gems to be included in the Gran Turismo Series.
The American, Troy Roadster from 1959 should be one of them.
This car is a true piece of American history and a wonderful addition to any collection of sports cars. The car doesn't only look stunning in appearance it's also extremely fast.
How fast I really don't know, could not find specifications yet.
Suggestion for this car made by CBarbosa.
Wally Troy was the first Jaguar dealer licensed in Illinois but his real passion was racing and his great dream was to design and build a road legal race car that could rub shoulders with the Formula 1 cars of the era.
And he was a gifted craftsman with a big dream. The dream was to build a street legal race car and he achieved this in 1959 with the remarkable Troy Roadster.
This car is a true one-off, the only car ever built. A fantastic design featuring a carefully handcrafted aluminum body. The car resembles clearly the European open wheel racers of the 50’s with almost no overhang on the front or back.
The Troy Roadster is powered by a 350 Chevy V8 with 4-barrell carburetors, the drive-train is Chevy front to back but the chassis and body was built by hand, by Troy and his men. Wally elected to use aluminium for the body in order to keep weight down, each panel was hand-beaten and then tweaked to fit, the chassis is a tubular steel frame with a steel belly pan.
The design of the Roadster is open-wheeled perfection, I've often wished there was a car very much like this with all 4 wheels open, a hefty engine up front and function-first design aesthetic. It’s a testament to what hot rods used to be and what they could have become, before looks and chrome became more highly valued that performance and cornering ability.
This extremely handsome car has been featured in the 1960 Hot Rod Magazine and also was also shown in a period Comic book.
The car was stored for almost 20 years before a full restoration was started, has been meticulously restored and has since been shown at the 2004 Amelia Island Concours as well as the Detroit Autorama.

text: Hoe cakes are often associated with the American South, where hoe cakes are served with a variety of sweet and savory foods. There are several explanations where hoe cakes came from. What are hoe cakes? No it’s not what you think it is ;). Some food historians use ex-slave narratives as proof that hoe cakes are called that because they were cooked on the back of a hoe. Others believe the name hoe cake comes not from the slaves cooking the cornmeal on a metal hoe, but rather from an earlier meaning of the word hoe, which was synonymous with griddle.

When your dog goes into labor, it’s an exciting but nerve-wracking time. While there are many complications that are possible during delivery, being prepared and knowing your vet’s information will help you navigate any issues that may arise. Learn how to prevent common whelping complications, as well as when you should contact your vet.
Contacting or Visiting Your Vet
An emergency vet that can visit or take calls after hours is vital when you have a pregnant dog. This is especially important if a vet’s assistance is needed during delivery. Before your dog goes into labor, you should have a delivery plan laid out that includes your vet’s contact information in case of an emergency or complications.
If a vet cannot visit you, you’ll need to make a trip to the vet yourself. When taking your dog to a vet during any whelping stage, always bring any delivered puppies along. Place newborn puppies in a box separate from the dam and put a warm heat pad or water bottle in the box. Be sure the heating pad or warm water bottle has a covering on it so it doesn’t burn the newborn puppies if they come into contact with it.
Eclampsia is a potentially deadly issue where the dam’s calcium levels are severely low. This condition affects all dog breeds but is most prevalent in small dogs. Eclampsia happens mainly in the weeks following delivery when the dam is nursing her puppies. Symptoms of eclampsia in your dam include collapse, panting, weakness, restlessness, a different way of walking, shaking, stiffness, trembling, and drooling.
Continued nursing and milk supply to puppies will deplete calcium levels in dams, however, giving your dog too much calcium like calcium supplements can also cause eclampsia. To avoid this condition, give your dam food that is specifically created for pregnant and lactating dogs. Speak with your vet to find the best, balanced diet for your dam or pregnant dog. If you notice your dog is showing signs of eclampsia, take her to the vet right away.
Mastitis is an infection that affects a dog’s mammary glands. This issue generally takes place in the weeks after a dog gives birth and is producing milk. This is a fast-progressing issue that needs immediate vet attention and care to avoid the condition worsening. Symptoms of mastitis include your dog not wanting to nurse her puppies, showing aggressive behavior toward puppies when they are trying to nurse, discolored milk caused by pus or blood, not eating, lethargy, vomiting, fever, and feeling hot to the touch.
You can avoid mastitis by clipping the puppies’ nails, keeping the whelping area clean and dry, regularly cleaning your dam’s mammary glands, and ensuring all mammary glands are being used evenly for nursing. Cleanliness is one of the biggest defenses against mastitis, so maintaining a clean whelping location will go far in keeping the dam and her puppies safe.
Dystocia occurs when a dog in labor is unable to deliver or push out a puppy. Dystocia is a serious complication that, if left untreated or without vet help, can result in the deaths of the puppies and mother dog. A dog with dystocia will usually need an emergency C-section, so timely action and contact with your vet are crucial.
Signs your dog may experience or is experiencing dystocia include an extended pregnancy, a long labor with no delivery, and/or a stillborn puppy. When a dam’s pregnancy extends beyond its due date, specifically 70 or more days from the date it was bred, puppies can grow too big to be safely delivered through the birth canal. Additionally, prolonged pregnancy can lead to issues with the placenta that cut off oxygen and lead to stillborn puppies.
A dam’s labor and delivery should not exceed 24 hours. Signs of complications that require you to contact your vet include:
Your dog is in labor for 4 hours with no puppies delivered.
More puppies are inside but it’s been 4 hours since the last puppy was delivered.
Your dog has been experiencing strong contractions for 30 minutes without delivering the first puppy.
Your dog has been experiencing weak contractions for 2 to 3 hours without delivering the first puppy.
There are many biological factors that can lead to dystocia like puppy abnormalities, uterus abnormalities, birth canal conditions, and pelvis damage or size. While these biological causes can’t be prevented during pregnancy, you can help reduce the risk of dystocia by introducing your dog to her whelping area early on, creating a whelping area that is as stress-free as possible, and ensuring your dam has a balanced diet meant for pregnant dogs.
Puppies are generally delivered with their heads or back legs appearing first. A puppy delivered head-first is known as an anterior presentation, while a puppy delivered feet-first is a posterior presentation. A breech delivery happens when a puppy is delivered tail or butt-first with no hind legs present. This can also be detected if the dam’s vulva has a lump behind it or if the dam is having trouble pushing out a puppy.
While there isn’t much you can do to prevent a puppy from being delivered in a breech position, you can get guidance and avoid further delivery complications by immediately contacting your vet. It’s important to have this contact information on hand during whelping so you don’t need to go searching for it.
Excessive Dark or Green Discharge
A small amount of green discharge isn’t cause for concern as this is what puppy placenta normally looks like. However, if there is a lot of dark or green discharge there may be an issue with the puppy’s placenta. Problems with a puppy’s placenta can lead to loss of oxygen, so your vet should be contacted right away for assistance and advice.
Assistance for Dog’s First Delivery
Dogs delivering puppies for the first time may not know what to do with the amniotic sac. If your dog does not remove the sac herself after delivering a puppy, you’ll need to do it for her to ensure the puppy can breathe. To do this, use your fingers or paper towels to break open the sac. You then want to expose the puppy’s mouth and nose so it can get air. Don’t use any sharp objects, like scissors or a knife, to break the sac as these items can harm the puppy inside.
Likewise, dams generally sever their puppies’ umbilical cords themselves by chewing them. However, if this isn’t done after a few hours you’ll need to do it yourself to prevent infections. There are various ways to do this but speaking with your vet before your dog goes into labor is recommended. Your vet can give you information on what to do and what sterilized tools to use if this happens.
Being prepared and creating a safe, dry, clean, and quiet whelping environment for your pregnant dog is one of the best ways to prevent whelping complications. Speak to your vet about creating a balanced diet for your dog to ensure she is getting all the nutrients she needs to carry and deliver her puppies. When you are informed on what to look for and how to prevent whelping complications, delivery for your dam and her puppies will be easier.
