Denise Minger: "4 Reasons Why Some People Do Well as Vegans (While Others Fail Miserably)" (Nutrition Authority)
So, what can we conclude from all this? When the right genetic (and microbial) elements are in place, vegan diets - supplemented with the requisite vitamin B12 -have a greater chance of meeting a person's nutritional needs. But when issues with vitamin A conversion, gut microbiome makeup, amylase levels or choline requirements enter the picture, the odds of thriving as a vegan start to plummet.
Deborah Orr: "The left should just admit it: victims aren't always good people" (The Guardian)
Victims are not always good. Messed-up people are not always good. Sometimes they're blissfully unaware that they're messed-up people. Do people ever think they're clever because they've got a nice wee skunk-dealing business going but they still get food from the do-gooder suckers at the food bank? Of course. Privileged or socially excluded, some people are gits. The left just looks naive and childish when it asserts otherwise.
Backgammon is one of the oldest board games known. It is a two player game where playing pieces are moved according to the roll of dice, and a player wins by removing all of their pieces from the board before their opponent. Backgammon is a member of the tables family, one of the oldest classes of board games in the world.
Backgammon playing pieces are known variously as checkers, draughts, stones, men, counters, pawns, discs, pips, chips, or nips.
Each side of the board has a track of 12 long triangles, called points. The points form a continuous track in the shape of a horseshoe, and are numbered from 1 to 24. In the most commonly used setup, each player begins with fifteen checkers.

Backgammon begins with 15 checkers. I played it frequently in the 70's and became quite good (I won $$$ more often than not), then met the man to whom I've been married 36 years, who hates dice games. So I learned how to play Pente and we're pretty much evenly matched.

In the most commonly used backgammon setup, each player begins with fifteen checkers; however, when CpPDJT-ID plays, he starts with 1 and his opponent has 29 so that it a fair to both..
DJ Useo answered:
You almost got me to say '14' again, but it's 15! I hated backgammon as a kid, but only because I had to play against my family members, & they cheated. Actually, it's a fun game, for a few minutes. Like mumblypeg. Haha.
Joe S answered:
Is it fourteen? No, I looked it up it's fifteen but that really means nothing to me because I know nothing about the game. Well I do know it's played on a funny looking board. Carla and I used to go to this wonderful little Italian restaurant when we would go visit our sons at school. The had the best calzones and they had Backgammon boards laying around all over the place. People would come in and eat and play Backgammon and I had no idea what they were doing. I think Carla learned how to play online but I was never interested, I don't much care for most games, especially board games. I still have no idea what it's all about. I like Trivial pursuit, but that's not really a board game is it? And I like Cribbage, kind of a board game.

Not even Donald Trump (R-Buffoon) can stop the campaign to roll back climate change, Al Gore said Monday as the former US vice president's sequel to Oscar-winning documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" screened at the Cannes film festival.
"An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power" received a special screening at Cannes after premiering at the Sundance film festival in January, a decade after Gore's first documentary warned of environmental catastrophe.
Today, the White House is occupied by a man who has called global warming a "hoax" perpetrated by China, wants to encourage US coal production and vowed to reverse fossil-fuel curbs imposed by his predecessor, Barack Obama.
But Gore said there were few reasons for pessimism, arguing that hard economic reality now weighed heavily in favour of climate activism.
"We now know after four months of the Trump administration that no one person, not even a president, can stop the climate movement," Gore told reporters in Cannes.

A major new rockslide has buried a stretch of California's iconic Highway 1 in up to 40 feet of stone and dirt, the latest hit in a soggy winter of slides, floods and road closings along the winding Central California coast road, state transportation officials said Monday.
A swath of the hillside gave way in an area called Mud Creek on Saturday night, covering about one-third of a mile of road and changing the Big Sur coastline immediately below, a spokesman with the California Department of Transportation said.
"We've never seen anything like that," said Colin Jones, the transportation agency's spokesman for the area.
The state already had closed that part of Highway 1 to repair buckled pavement and other, earlier damage from one of California's rainiest winters in decades. Authorities removed work crews from the area last week after realizing that saturated soil in that area was increasingly unstable, Jones said. "Now it's covering 10 times as much," he said.
State road officials plan to wait for the immediate slide danger to pass before going back to start figuring out how to strengthen the hillside and rebuild and reopen that part of the road, he said.
Narrow, windy Highway 1 through Big Sur is a major tourist draw, attracting visitors to serene groves of redwoods, beaches, and the highway's dramatic oceanside scenery.
Fossils from Greece and Bulgaria of an ape-like creature that lived 7.2 million years ago may fundamentally alter the understanding of human origins, casting doubt on the view that the evolutionary lineage that led to people arose in Africa.
Scientists said on Monday the creature, known as Graecopithecus freybergi and known only from a lower jawbone and an isolated tooth, may be the oldest-known member of the human lineage that began after an evolutionary split from the line that led to chimpanzees, our closest cousins.
The jawbone, which included teeth, was unearthed in 1944 in Athens. The premolar was found in south-central Bulgaria in 2009. The researchers examined them using sophisticated new techniques including CT scans and established their age by dating the sedimentary rock in which they were found.
They found dental root development that possessed telltale human characteristics not seen in chimps and their ancestors, placing Graecopithecus within the human lineage, known as hominins. Until now, the oldest-known hominin was Sahelanthropus, which lived 6-7 million years ago in Chad.
The scientific consensus long has been that hominins originated in Africa. Considering the Graecopithecus fossils hail from the Balkans, the eastern Mediterranean may have given rise to the human lineage, the researchers said.
Shiprock thrusts up from the surrounding New Mexico desert without warning. It's no wonder this abrupt landform is the center of a Navajo legend involving a giant bird that turned to stone - it's impossible to look at the sheer cliffs without wondering what created them.
A new view of Shiprock from space offers a few hints. Leading toward the rugged rock formation in San Juan County is a dark dike, a part of the volcano that created the 1,969-foot-tall (600 meters) cliff formation.
The formation is on Navajo Nation land and is known as Tse Bit'a'i, or "winged rock" in Navajo, according to the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources (NMBGMR). Legend holds that the rock was Earth that became a bird and carried the Navajo people to the desert on its back, settling down and turning to stone again after the journey, according to Atlas Obscura. Navajo tradition holds that people should not climb or disturb the rocks, so they have been closed to recreation since the 1970s.
Geologically, Shiprock originated from a volcanic eruption about 30 million years ago, according to the Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources. At the time, the rocks were up to 3,280 feet (1,000 m) below the ground and formed the "neck" of a region of volcanic rocks that has otherwise eroded away. The formation is made from a potassium-rich magma called "minette," according to the bureau, and is heavily fractured into a type of angular fragmented rock called breccia. While the surrounding rock has eroded away, Shiprock and some of its accompanying lava dikes remain.
The new image of Shiprock was taken by the Operational Land Imager on NASA's Landsat 8 satellite on April 12, 2017.
Fox News Channel has found itself somewhere it has rarely been the past decade - out of first place.
The network's weekday prime-time lineup, long the king of cable news, finished behind MSNBC in viewers last week, the Nielsen company said. Among the 25-to-54-year-old audience that advertisers pay a premium for, Fox finished third to MSNBC and CNN for the first time in 17 years.
It was uniquely bad timing for Fox, a week filled with late-breaking news unflattering to Donald Trump (R-Corrupt), who much of the network's audience supports. But it also comes shortly after the firing of star anchor Bill "Loofah" O'Reilly, as Fox is trying to establish a new prime-time lineup.
Led by the red-hot Rachel Maddow show, MSNBC averaged 2.44 million viewers last week to Fox's 2.41 million, Nielsen said. CNN had 1.65 million. It was only the second time in MSNBC's history that it beat both of its news rivals in a week; the only other time was during the 2012 Democratic national convention.
Among the youthful viewers, MSNBC had 611,000 last week, CNN had 589,000 and Fox had 497,000.

It was the kind of utterance that makes professional transcribers question their career choice:
" … there is no collusion between certainly myself and my campaign, but I can always speak for myself - and the Russians, zero."
When Donald Trump (R-Crooked) offered that response to a question at a press conference last week, it was the latest example of his tortured syntax, mid-thought changes of subject, and apparent trouble formulating complete sentences, let alone a coherent paragraph, in unscripted speech.
He was not always so linguistically challenged.
STAT reviewed decades of Trump's on-air interviews and compared them to Q&A sessions since his inauguration. The differences are striking and unmistakable.
Stunning visuals depicting Attorney General Jeff Sessions (R-Racist) in a Ku Klux Klan robe have been projected onto iconic Washington buildings including the Department of Justice building.
The projections, created by activist and artist Robin Bell, showed Mr Sessions with the infamous white hood alongside some of his past statements that have been pointed to as insensitive to racist struggles.
"I thought the KKK was OK until I learned that they smoked pot," one of the projections reads, a close approximation to a comment Mr Sessions made while investigating a case against Klansmen as a US attorney in Alabama in the 1980s. Mr Sessions later characterised the comment as a joke, which the other attorneys present at the time agree with.
Other projections criticised Mr Sessions for his perceived role in the decision to fire former FBI Director James Comey. Mr Sessions had recused himself from investigations into the potential ties between the Trump campaign and Russia's meddling in the 2016 election, and Mr Comey had refused to stop those investigations. Though he recused himself, Mr Sessions later wrote a memo supporting Mr Comey's ouster.
Mr Bell also projected images onto FBI headquarters with images of Rex Tillerson, Nikki Haley, and Scott Pruit. The projections suggested that Mr Trump be impeached and said that the public needs to see the memo - likely referring to a reported note written by Mr Comey describing interactions he had with the President before he was fired.

Doctors in South Africa have performed the world's third successful penile transplant, after a nearly 10-hour-long surgical procedure.
The team, led by Prof André van der Merwe, Head of the Division of Urology at Stellenbosch University's Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, had already performed a successful transplant in 2014, on a 21-year-old who had been amputated at the age of 18 - the first successful penis transplant ever. A second successful penis transplant was performed last year in the US, at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
This third patient was a 40-year-old man who has lost is penis 17 years ago due to complications after a traditional circumcision.
According to his doctors, the patient is doing well, a month on after receiving the transplant. He is in a good state of mind.
"When he saw his penis for the first time, he was quite emotional. He is certainly one of the happiest patients we have seen in our ward. He is doing remarkably well. There are no signs of rejection and all the reconnected structures seem to be healing well," Van der Merwe said.
Dina Merrill, the rebellious heiress who defied her super-rich parents to become a movie star, often portraying stylish wives or "the other woman," has died at age 93.
Merrill, raised in part on the Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida now owned by Donald Trump (R-Fraudster), died Monday, according to family spokeswoman Selena Albanese. Merrill died of heart failure at her home in East Hampton, Albanese told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
But becoming an actress was not considered proper for someone of Merrill's privileged status. Her mother was Marjorie Merriweather Post, heiress to the Post cereal fortune and one of the nation's richest women. Her father was E.F. Hutton, founder of the stockbroker firm that bore his name. Heiress Barbara Hutton was a cousin.
She made her Broadway debut in 1945 with "The Mermaids Singing" and followed with "George Washington Slept Here" and off-Broadway plays. She quit acting in 1946, partly because of her mother's pressure.
Merrill and Stanley Rumbough Jr., heir to a Colgate fortune, divorced in 1966, the same year she married actor Cliff Robertson. As a result, her name was dropped from the snobbish Social Register, which excluded actors.
Merrill and Robertson had a daughter, Heather, but divorced in 1989. In the same year she married Ted Hartley, a former pilot and actor turned investment banker.
She was born Nedenia Hutton in New York City, and was drawn to the acting life at age 8, when she played an Indian in a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta at Greenvale School. She grew up in lavish surroundings, particularly Mar-a-Lago, her parents' 118-room Mediterranean-Moorish estate in Palm Beach, Florida. The property was later purchased by Trump, who as president has made Mar-a-Lago an unofficial weekend White House.
When Hutton began her acting career, she chose to call herself Dina Merrill, a combination of her and a brother-in-law's names.
British actor Roger Moore, who played James Bond for more than two decades with a suave wit, died Tuesday aged 89, drawing tributes for his portrayal of the womanising super-spy, and for his charity work.
"It is with a heavy heart that we must announce our loving father, Sir Roger Moore, has passed away today in Switzerland after a short but brave battle with cancer," his children said in a statement on Twitter.
"We are all devastated," Deborah, Geoffrey and Christian said. "Thank you Pops for being you, and for being so very special to so many people."
Moore shot to fame as the smooth-talking adventurer Simon Templar in British television show "The Saint" in the 1960s, and also starred alongside Tony Curtis in "The Persuaders" in the 1970s.
But it was not until 1973, at the age of 45, that he won the role that would come to define him, as Ian Fleming's fictional secret agent James Bond.
Moore was also one of the last of the old-school movie stars, who counted Frank Sinatra and David Niven among his friends and lived in luxury in Switzerland and the French Riviera.
In later years he became known for his humanitarian work, notably through his activities as an ambassador for the United Nations Children's Fund.
Born Roger George Moore, on October 14, 1927 in the south London neighbourhood of Stockwell, he was the only son of a police constable and his wife, and had a happy childhood.
