Protein != meat. If it were so, the article would have stated it more precisely.
From the study:
When the percent calories from animal protein was controlled for, the association between total protein and all-cause or cancer mortality was eliminated or significantly reduced, respectively, suggesting animal proteins are responsible for a significant portion of these relationships. When we controlled for the effect of plant-based protein, there was no change in the association between protein intake and mortality, indicating that high levels of animal proteins promote mortality
How much more precisely do you want them to state it?
You can't legitimately claim a vegetarian diet can be as varied as an omnivorous one can be. Your vegetarian diet is a strict subset of mine. Full stop.
You can't legitimately claim a noncoprophagic diet can be as varied as a coprophagic diet can be. Your diet is a strict subset of a coprophage's diet. Full stop.
Seriously, though, its not correct to suggest that chickens can't survive in the wild. Feral chickens (descended from farm animals) do well in many parts of the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
What I'd like to know is, why does PETA hate chickens so much? You don't have to be a genius to foresee what will happen to the chicken species if we abandon them as a food source
The species seems to be doing OK in the wild. Its far from endangered.
there's no way to unregister a number from iMessage.
Other than the ways set out in TFS and TFA.
Those methods don't quite accomplish it. You can unregister your number from Apple's central directory, not from the persistent iMessage cache of individual phones.
After unregistering, new contacts won't send iMessages to your number, but existing contacts will continue to send iMessages for weeks or months, as your number lingers in their phone's iMessage cache.
I unregistered a number back in November. Most of my iPhone contacts see that number as green by now, but a few persistent devices -still- show it as a blue iMessage number.
on the iphone, you just sign out of imessage. go to settings, messages, send and recieve. tap on your apple id and tap sign out. Then apple will know to send any texts to your number as SMS not imessage.
Signing out doesn't solve the problem, because individual phones cache iMessage numbers for months.
Signing out will prevent new contacts from iMessaging you. But it won't remove your number from the persistent cache in your existing contacts' phones. They will continue to iMessage you, no matter that you've signed out.
There are multiple, simple ways to sign your number out of iMessage, leaving it a regular text receiving number.
No. There is no effective way to "sign your number out," because individual phones cache iMessage numbers for months. If you sign out today, your friends will continue to send "blue bubbles" to your number for months, because your number is in their iMessage cache. It doesn't matter that you've signed out.
Signing out prevents new contacts from iMessaging you, but it has no effect on your existing contacts. They will keep sending "blue bubbles" to your number for months to come. The only effective way to sign out is to get a new phone number.
if you have an iphone but then port your number to a samsung, then my bubbles become green instead of blue. completely illogical.
That's what you would -expect- to happen. But when you port your number to samsung, your friends will actually continue to send blue bubbles to your number. Therein lies the problem: there's no way to unregister a number from iMessage.
Some of your friends may enable the SMS-fallback option, which will forward some of their messages as green bubbles. But group messages will never be forwarded. Your iPhone-using friends will just think you're ignoring them.
You can just switch iMessages off in phone C's settings. Or transfer the SIM from phone C into non-Apple phone.
Basically, the problem is that SMS-fallback doesn't work for group messages. So iPhone users can't send group messages to former iPhone-users.
It's not an SMS-delivery problem. Phone A never sends an SMS. Phone A sends only a "blue" message to the entire group, and never notices that phone C didn't receive it.
I switched away from IOS months ago, but my iPhone-using friends still see my number as "blue," and try to iMessage me. Individual messages fallback to SMS, but group messages just fail silently. There is no way to "sign out" of iMessage.
If you tell Apple that you want to receive iMessage messages on your phone but them disable it on the phone, then iMessage still works for groups, but you won't get them. It's like redirecting you email to/dev/null and then bitching when nobody emails you anymore.
That's exactly what its like. But if you ever want to switch to a non-Apple phone, you have no other option. There is no way to "sign out" from iMessage.
I switched to a Samsung months ago, and some of my iPhone-using friends STILL see my number as "blue," and try to send me iMessages.
The only reliable way to sign out from iMessage is to get a new phone number.
As long as the "fall back to SMS if iMessage fails" setting is on, then there's no problem even in this case. The iMessage will fail, and then Messages will resend it as a text message without any intervention needed.
Alas, the SMS fallback doesn't work properly. Group messages always fail silently, regardless of the setting.
This is easily repeatable, if you have three iPhones. Try it yourself!
1. Disable iMessage on phone C, but leave it enabled on phones A and B. 2. Send a group message from phone A to phones B and C. It will fail silently. The message will never be received by phone C.
Slaughter implies butchering and the headline makes it sound as if the animals were to be butchered in the cove.... Slaughtering in the cove sounds unsanitary.
I suppose I don't know how sanitary it is, but they really do perform the slaughter right there in the cove.
Not a biased piece at all. Never would have thought so with ''slaughter'' in the headline/s
I don't see evidence of bias in the word choice. "Slaughter" is the normal English word to describe the killing of animals for food. Pigs and cows are "slaughtered" routinely, in buildings clearly labelled as "slaughterhouses."
The only advantage I can think of for Modern UI/Windows Runtime in Windows 8 is that it lets you buy an app once and run it on both your Windows RT tablet and your desktop PC.
That would be an advantage, except nobody has Windows RT tablets.
The real advantage of Metro is that Microsoft gets to pocket 30% of every third-party developer's revenue. That's why they keep pushing it so hard. They fantasize about someday collecting that royalty on all windows software.
That's true in America. But in much of the world (including most of Europe), a CV is expected to include one's age, marital status, and number of children.
A European employer may also expect to receive a photograph, from which the applicant's race, weight, and physical attractiveness can be judged.
Extensive checks and searching goes back centuries...
Checks at international borders, sure. But today's network of internal border checkpoints is new.
As recently as the 1990s, Americans could travel freely within the country. But today, I can't drive from Texas to California without passing through one of their make-believe border checkpoints. That bullshit doesn't go back centuries.
You can go damn near anywhere the hell you want in this country without the slightest threat to your rights.
It's called driving.:)
Over the last decade, the federal government has created "interior border checkpoints" along major highways in the United States. Try driving from Texas to California without passing through one.
Totally complete list of totally amazing freedom enhancing things done in the name of states' rights:
Sure, I'll bite:
In 1869, Wyoming granted voting rights to women. It would be 50 years before federal law caught up with them.
In 1982, Wisconsin prohibited employment discrimination against gays. 30 years later, most of the nation still hasn't caught up with Wisconsin.
In 1780, Pennsylvania voted to abolish slavery. Massachusetts followed suit in 1883. Federal law would continue to permit slavery until 1865; It was only state law which protected the freedom of black americans in the north.
These are the ones that pop into my head, but I'm sure I could list of similar examples all day long. State law has been at the forefront of just about every major civil rights issue in our nation's history.

How much more precisely do you want them to state it?
Hummm... nope. It is about a low-protein diet, not a vegetarian one.
Try to be more attentive and think before you speak.
I presume you only read the summary?
The actual study found that animal protein promotes mortality, while plant protein does not.
The study is linked up there at the top of the page, in case you want to read it.

Try a group conversation between 2 or more iMessage users, and one former-iMessage user.

Is this for anti glare or something?
No, I think it is to extract more money from wallets.
Aside from novelty, the point of a curved display is to squeeze more screen area into the same footprint.
I've never understood curved TVs, but I can see the appeal of curved phones which need to fit comfortably into palms and pockets.
the siblings share 25% of their genetic code...

On average, full siblings share 50% their chromosomes.
25% is the average for half-siblings, not full siblings.
