PM visits Garhwa Ghat Ashram, Shastri’s ancestral house – India.com
Posted: March 6, 2017 at 5:47 am
Varanasi, Mar 6 (PTI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi today visited Garhwa Ghat Ashram here, which has considerable following among the backward castes, and paid tributes to former Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri at his ancestral home.
Modi, who has been canvassing for three days in the district which elected him to Lok Sabha, offered prayers and also fed the cows at the ashrams shelter. The visit came on the last day of campaigning in Uttar Pradesh.
The head guru at the Garhwa Ghat Ashram has traditionally come from the Yadav caste and has followers spread across the poll-round region. Modis visit is seen as an attempt to reach out to the Yadav community, which has traditionally aligned with the Samajwadi Party.
The head guru offered his blessings and heaped praise on Modi. Though people expected Modi to make a brief speech but it did not happen and a senior party functionally said it was never planned.
Modi has held a roadshow here and attended a number of public events in the city along with several rallies in the region as part of BJPs last push for a good show, particularly in the holy city, in the final phase when polling will be held in 40 seats on March 8.
BJP sources believe that Modis visit and his public felicitation by the ashram will send out good signals to voters, especially the OBCs and the Dalits.
The Prime Minister later drove to Shastris ancestral home to pay tributes to him.
Modi has often accused the Congress of not giving due respect to leaders who were not from the Nehru-Gandhi family.
Modis Lok Sabha constituency has five assembly seats three of which are presently held by the saffron party.
BJP is engaged in a keen fight with SP-Congress candidates in all the seats with the BSP also putting up a strong contest in a couple of them.

Commerce Resources and TUGLIQ Energy ink MOU on wind power … – Resource Clips
Posted: at 5:47 am
by Greg Klein | March 1, 2017
Looking at the dual benefits of cutting costs and cutting emissions, Commerce Resources TSXV:CCE and TUGLIQ Energy have signed a memorandum of understanding to assess the potential for wind energy on the Ashram rare earths project. Announced February 28, the MOU follows TUGLIQs preliminary evaluation of local and regional wind data proximal to the northern Quebec deposit that Commerce is advancing towards pre-feasibility. Funding for the wind energy study comes partly from the provinces Ministre de lnergie et des Ressources naturelles.

An independent power producer already active in northern Quebec, TUGLIQ operates a 3 MW wind turbine with energy storage that the company built in 2014 at Glencores Raglan mine. In the Northwest Territories, the Rio Tinto NYSE:RIO/Dominion Diamond TSX:DDC Diavik mine has been supplementing its diesel power with a four-turbine, 9.2 MW wind farm since 2012.
TUGLIQs Ashram study will consist of wind resource assessment, electrical system engineering and an integration study including assessment of greenhouse gas emission reductions.
We are excited to be collaborating with TUGLIQ and to have the support of the Quebec government on this renewable resource project, said Commerce president Chris Grove. We look forward to evaluating this potential in much further detail. The potential to incorporate cost-effective renewable energy into the Ashram project only makes it that much more attractive for development.
In mid-February the company closed a $1.71-million private placement that included $1 million from Ressources Qubec, a subsidiary of the provincial government corporation Investissement Qubec. The money will be used to complete Ashrams pilot plant and produce REE and fluorite concentrates for companies that requested samples. Among them are Solvay, Mitsubishi, Treibacher, BASF, DKK, Albemarle and Blue Line.
Having reached PEA in 2012, the high-grade, near-surface deposit features an impressive distribution of magnet feed elements and relatively simple metallurgy, suggesting a potentially low-cost operation.
Quebec maintains its respected position as a mining jurisdiction, according to a Fraser Institute study released February 28. Quebec ranks third in Canada and sixth globallyup from eighth spot last yearand is the only other Canadian jurisdiction [along with Saskatchewan and Manitoba] in the top 10 worldwide for overall investment attractiveness, the FI stated.
In another rare metals project, Commerce holds the Upper Fir tantalum-niobium deposit in southeastern British Columbia, which reached PEA in 2011 and a resource update in 2013.

8 Foods That Are Surprisingly Non-Vegan – Care2.com
Posted: March 5, 2017 at 7:49 am
Living a vegan lifestyle can be super-simple and full of only limited hiccups along the way. Sometimes, however, a curveball is tossed our way and we discover that a product we thought was (literally) harmless is actually non-vegan. The horror!
Even though Ive been vegan for nearly 9 years, I still remind myself to scrutinize ingredient labels of new foods before tossing them into my cart (and sometimes even familiar foods which may have been reformulated!). Every once in a while, a non-vegan ingredient creeps onto our plates. This does not mean we are bad advocates for the Earth and for the animalsrather, it means we are human and the food industries can be sneaky with how they produce stuff. Here are a few things to look out for on your next trip to the supermarket:
1. Non-dairy creamer. Most of the time, non-dairy means well, non-dairy. When it comes to powdered or liquid coffee creamer, this is usually not the case. These safe-sounding products still often contain milk ingredients, albeit in smaller quantities. Check out soy, almond or coconut-based creamers to be certain youre drinking your coffee cruelty-free.
2. Worcestershire sauce. Anchovies are a typical ingredient in this saucy staple. This means many Bloody Mary mixes are often non-vegan and non-vegetarian. If your bartender can make this drink from scratch, you can request to leave this sauce out. And, if you would still like its complex flavors to accompany your homemade dishes, there is vegan Worcestershire sauce out there!
3. Refined sugar. Some foods and beverages involve certain processing agents that come from animal sources. This includes a lot of refined sugars, which typically use bone char in their processing. Each veg person decides if this bothers them to the point of only purchasing (or baking with) vegan sugar.
4. Some beer and wine. Alcoholic beverages are another source of concern for some. Isinglass (fish bladders) or egg products are sometimes used to clarify wine and beer. Barnivore.com is a great resource to double-check whether your drink is animal approved.
5. Stir-fry sauces. Fish sauce, clam sauce, oyster sauce and others can find their way into all varieties of Asian-inspired dishes, whether you find them on a menu or you make them at home using bottled sauces. Call or email the manager of your favorite takeout spot to get a list of the dishes that dont use any of these ingredients so youll be prepared when you do dine out.
6. Candy coated in confectioners glaze. True story: one day I found myself with two different packages of candies in handeach from the same companyand discovered one flavor used carnauba wax to coat the candy and the other flavor used confectioners glaze. Glazed also describes what my eyes looked like because, what the hell? Carnauba wax is sourced from the leaves of a certain palm tree while confectioners glaze, or shellac, comes from bugsspecifically, the Lac insect (Eww).
7. Snack chips. Unless it says sour cream or cheese or bacon in the flavor description, potato chips are totally vegan, right? Wrong! Ive discovered milk ingredients in Salt & Pepper flavored chips, as well as some Barbecue flavors. Also, honey is sneaked into all kinds of chip varieties.
8. Cereals and candies with hidden gelatin. Gelatin is derived from collagen from a variety of animal body parts. It ends up in Jello, some cereals (Im looking at you, Frosted Mini Wheats), candies, pastries and all sorts of beauty and hygiene products.

Las Vegan Rob MacCachren breaks through for Mint 400 victory … – Las Vegas Review-Journal
Posted: at 7:49 am
PRIMM It has been a week of breakthroughs for talented, star-crossed auto racing drivers from Las Vegas.
Six days after Kurt Busch took the lead on the last lap of the Daytona 500 and pulled away to the victory, ending an 0-for-15 run in the Great American Race, it was Rob MacCachrens turn to have the racing gods smile upon him.
The youthful-looking 51-year-old demon in the dust was 0-for-forever in The Mint 400 before taking charge about 50 miles from the finish en route to being crowned the unofficial winner of the Great American Off-Road Race on Saturday.
MacCachren, one of the legends of his sport and a 2011 inductee into the Off-road Motorsports Hall of Fame, has won more than 200 races during a long and brilliant career, including the Baja 1000 four times. Somehow, The Mint had managed to elude him.
It eludes him no more.
How do you do this? said the Clark High graduate as he struggled to remove the cork from the big bottle of champagne on the victory platform as thousands cheered. This is harder than the race.
MacCachrens time over three laps of the 116-mile course originating behind Buffalo Bills in Primm was 5:37:35. Jason Voss of Cupertino, California, was second at 5:38:39, with San Diegos Andy McMillin third at 5:41:36.
McMillin was leading the final time around the wind-swept, rock-strewn course before sustaining a flat tire. MacCachren said he went the whole day without a flat and dutifully thanked BF Goodrich along with Rock Star and Ford and his other sponsors after he finally popped the champagne cork.
The Mint 400 draws the best Trick Truck drivers on the planet, and today we were the best one of those, said the gracious winner. Three of the last five years we were leading on the last lap before having a mechanical (problem). It really feels good to get that monkey off my back.
Nobody seemed to mind the cliche as this was a race MacCachren, the son of an off-road racer, had been trying to win since 1984.
Some of the media were beginning to ask me I said stop, MacCachren said about always coming up short in The Mint. So its good they wont have to ask me anymore.
Brock Heger of El Centro, California, was the unofficial winner in the limited class that left the starting line at the crack of dawn. The 17-year-olds time was 6:08:54. Wisconsins T.J. Tuls was second at 6:10:38, with Roger Starkey Jr., of Burbank, California, rounding out the podium finishers at 6:11:53. Each was driving a Class 10 buggy.
Information was sketchy on Jay Lenos race. The former The Tonight Show host and automotive enthusiast added his name to the long list of celebrity drivers who have competed in The Mint 400 by leaving the starting line just before 7 a.m. in a nearly stock Toyota Tundra. Race officials said when he turned the SUV over to his co-drivers, he looked extremely fatigued.

Vegan intentionally drives into chicken truck, deputies say – Atlanta Journal Constitution
Posted: at 7:49 am
A Georgia woman told authorities she intentionally drove into a chicken truck because she is vegan, according to a report.
Judith M. Armstrong, 26, was arrested at her home in Comer after the Feb. 21 incident in Hull, the Athens Banner-Herald reported.
A truck driver reported a car hit the side of his truck, deputies said. When he applied his brakes, the car again drove into the truck.
The car drove from the scene, but the responding deputy found pieces of the car as well as the license plate, the newspaper reported.
When deputies went to her home, Armstrong told them she was a vegan and hit the truck due to it being a chicken truck, according to the newspaper.
Armstrong was charged with DUI, hit-and-run, obstruction and aggressive driving, the newspaper reported.
He was on his way to sign what he thought was a record deal. But when all of his contacts vanished, he realized it was too good to be true.

Vegan cheesesteak contest is around the corner – Philly.com (blog)
Posted: at 7:49 am
Philly, get your napkins ready!
The Best Vegan Cheesesteak in Philly contest returns for a fourth year this Friday, March 10. Online voting will be officially launched at noon by Christina Pirello and Pat's Steaks' Frank Olivieri, Jr., and will continue till noon on March 20. The final judging event will be held on March 23 at the Ethical Society at 6 p.m.
Contest fans know that first-year winner Blackbird was 'Best'ed in 2015 by Royal Tavern, surging back in 2016 to retake the crown. This year promises more drama: In addition to more than two dozen regular competitors, the current champ will face several newcomers including Wiz Kid in the new Whole Foods - the vegan cheesesteak created by Rich Landau, vegan-dining superstar... and one-time boss of Blackbird's Mark Mebus.
Pass the popcorn!
Among other newcomers this year will be sandwich stalwarts Campo's Deli, whose stadium franchise took heat over a "vegan cheesesteak" with no vegan cheese and only nonvegan rolls on hand. It's terrific that more spots are providing vegan cheeses with their vegan meat, but many cheesesteak lovers may not be aware that many hoagie-style rolls contain dough conditioners that are commonly animal-derived. For nonvegan cheesesteaks, of course, it's a wash; for ours, it's, er, unwashed. (Venues with nonvegan bread can be nominees but all finalist sandwiches must use vegan rolls.)
Campo's did step up after the ballpark bean-ball and now offers at its main location (2nd and Market) a fully vegan cheesesteak,and a very tasty one, on a vegan roll (with hopeful signs but nothing definite yet for the stadium franchise). Like many vegan-curious traditional outlets, this place looked for and found a growing number of Philly-area bakeries now offering all-vegan rolls. Here's a quick list of some of the most popular, courtesy of a local vegan-roll connoisseur:
Baker Street Bread Co. (215-248-2500) Cacia's Bakery (215-334-1340) Four Worlds Bakery (215-967-1458) Metropolitan (215-854-0729) Philly Bread (339-788-8599) Sarcones Bakery (215-922-0445)
If a vegan cheesesteak eater who knows a venue newly offering a vegan cheesesteak, or you are that venue, be sure to tip me to it here. New sandwiches can be added after voting starts but must be on the regular menu by Tuesday March 14 to qualify.
Check this space for complete contest details Friday!

Kellie McKinney: Vegan, vegetarian diets linked to many benefits – Huntington Herald Dispatch
Posted: at 7:49 am
I'd be lying if I told you I didn't want you to go vegetarian or vegan. Compassion and love for animals was a big part of my reason for doing so. I've put together some interesting facts in this week's column for you to read over.
>> Studies show that a plant based diet increases the body's metabolism, causing the body to burn calories up to 16 percent faster than the body would on a meat-based diet for at least the first three hours after meals.
>> A number of researchers argue that while the human body is capable of digesting meat, our bodies are actually designed to be herbivores. For example, the human molars are similar to those of an herbivore, flat and blunt, which make them good for grinding, not tearing.
>> The first Vegetarian Society was formed in England in 1847. The society's goal was to teach people that it is possible to be healthy without eating meat.
>> In 2012, the Los Angeles city council unanimously approved a resolution that all Mondays will be meatless. The measure is part of an international campaign to reduce the consumption of meat for health and environmental reason.
>> There are several types of vegetarians. The strictest type is vegans. Vegans avoid not only meat but also all animal products. There is a debate within the vegan community about whether honey is appropriate for a vegan diet. For example, the Vegan Society and the American Vegan Society do not consider honey appropriate because it comes from an animal.
>> Several researchers argue that a vegetarian diet can feed more people than a meat-based diet. For example, approximately 20,000 pounds of potatoes can be grown on one acre of land. Comparatively, only around 165 pounds of beef can be produced on 1 acre of land.
>> A fruitarian is a type of vegetarian in which a person eats just fruits, nuts, seeds and other plant material that can be harvested without killing the plant.
>> Approximately 25 gallons of water are needed to produce 1 pound of wheat. Around 2,500 gallons of water are needed to produce 1 pound of meat. Many vegetarians argue that more people eating a meat-free diet would lower the strain that meat production puts on the environment.
>> A British study revealed that a child's IQ could help predict his or her chance for becoming a vegetarian. The higher the IQ, the more likely the child will become a vegetarian.
>> The American Dietetic Association concludes that a vegetarian or vegan diet is healthier than one that includes meat. The association notes vegetarians have lower body mass index, lower rates of death from ischemic heart disease, lower blood cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, lower rates of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and less prostate and colon cancer.
>> Vegetarians have only slightly lower protein intake than those with a meat diet. Various studies around the world confirm that vegetarian diets provide enough protein if they include a variety of plant sources.
>> People become vegetarians for several reasons, including ethical, health, political, environmental, cultural, aesthetic and economic concerns.
>> An ovo-vegetarian will eat eggs but not other dairy products.
>> A lacto-vegetarian will eat dairy products but not eggs.
>> An ovo-lacto vegetarian diet includes both eggs and diary products.
>> The only vegetables with all eight types of essential amino acids in sufficient amounts are lupin beans, soy, hemp seed, chia seed, amaranth, buckwheat and quinoa. However, the essential amino acids can be achieved by eating other vegetables if they are in a variety.
>> Vegetarianism is still required for yogis in Hatha Yoga and Bhakti Yoga. Eating meat is said to lead to ignorance, sloth and an undesirable mental state known as tamas. A vegetarian diet, on the other hand, leads to sattvic qualities that are associated with spiritual progress.
>> Benjamin Franklin was an early American vegetarian (though he later became a meat-eater again). He introduced tofu to America in 1770.
>> While vegetarian diets tend to be lower in calories and higher in fiber (which makes a person feel more full), some vegetarian diets can cause higher caloric intake than a meat diet if they include a lot of cheese and nuts.

12 things you need to know as a travelling vegan – Metro
Posted: at 7:49 am
Local food markets can be a vegan paradise (Picture: Getty)
Whilst finding vegan options in other locations might be more tricky it is far from impossible.
Going on holiday or travelling as a vegan does not need to be difficult.
As a vegan you are probably used to planning ahead and doing research thats all part of the fun. And if you want to eat good vegan food on holiday, you will definitely have to do your research.
Here are some tips if youre worried about maintaining your vegan diet while travelling or just going on holiday.
This might seem like a no-brainer but although you might want to go on a sun-kissed safari across Kenya remember that food options might be limited.
If you have your heart set on a specific location you can do more research and plan ahead there will always be ways you can minimise any issues.
But if you are looking for somewhere that being vegan will be easier consider locations like India where vegetarian restaurants are common, Turin (the worlds first self-declared vegetarian city) or Berlin home of the original vegan doner kebab.
Check out Veggie Visafor great tips on travelling as a vegan and information on various locations.
Vegan Wanderlust has vegan foods featured from every country in the world showing that there really can be options everywhere.
Being vegan in most UK cities is now fairly easy but go off the beaten track or travel abroad and you may be stuck for food choices.
Websites like Happy Cow and Veggie Visa are an essential.
My tip is to use Instagram using hashtags such as #vegancopenhagen or #veganparis and you will find recommendations from other travellers and locals.
Local food or travel blogs are always worth a look.
Sure, it is polite to know how to say please and thank you but first in my list of lingo to master is always all the various ways of saying I am vegan that I might need.
Remember that in some countries veganism isnt fully understood so its important to also learn how to say no meat, fish, dairy or other animal products.
Its also worth learning key words like egg, milk and honey for scanning ingredients on packets and menus.
Sometimes staff will not understand what veganism is. So if you are faced with a negative response dont give up immediately.
Find out what vegetarian options they have and then see if they can be done without whatever ingredients do not make them vegan.
Ive said it before and Ill say it again. This is a vegan commandment and should apply in ALL situations.
If you dont do this and you get hungry, so be it on your head. Or that of anyone you happen to be travelling with nobody likes a hangry vegan.
Not only are snacks great for plane, train or bus rides but a few spare cereal bars or dried fruit will be your saviour when other options are limited.
This means that you can store snacks (see above) and make your own meals using all the interesting foods you can find in local shops and markets.
It also makes things cheaper than eating out all the time.
One of my favourite holiday activities is exploring local supermarkets and markets. The abundance of weird and wonderful produce lining the shelves can be mesmerising.
However playing a game of chance on something unidentifiable isnt so fun as a vegan so be sure to know key words to be able to decipher the packets.
Fresh food markets are likely to present you with delightful fruit and veg that tastes like heaven and which you may never have had before.
Stock up for picnic goodies or snacks or to prepare back at your apartment.
Deciphering foodstuffs is one thing but toiletries and beauty products is another thing so it is best to pack as many of those as you can to last you.
Be aware that in some countries like China it is mandatory for companies to test on animals.
If you are going on a longer trip do research on where there might be health stores or brands available that you already use.
Experiencing another culture should be exciting and present you with new opportunities particularly in eating. Find out what the local delicacies are and whether any are or can be vegan.
In West Africa and South America I have been pleasantly surprised by the abundance of bean and lentil dishes available.
In China I was excited to find pure vegan menus with plenty of mock meats at Buddhist temples and cafes.
It wont always be really easy and there will be times when your only option is a bunch of grass. Maybe some bread and roasted vegetables.
Do not be complacent if you are visiting countries that are very touristy and presume that they will have vegan options.
Even popular spots like the Canary Islands can be tricky.
If you do have a bad food experience make sure it does not affect how much you enjoy your holiday.
In countries outside of the UK eating meat is sometimes the easiest and cheapest option for locals.
Issues such as animal rights, the environment and health may not be on their radar.
In many countries I have visited I have been disturbed by the meat and fish markets, and even by so-called pet shops with atrocious conditions for the animals.
If you know that sections of markets are dedicated to meat and fish, give them a wide berth.
There's a beach in Thailand filled with friendly monkeys
BrewDog is planning to open a hotel with beer-filled hot tubs
New Zealand will pay for your holiday if you agree to having a job interview there
If you find something vegan somewhere it is possible that those selling it will know of other vegan options.
Ask the staff or even other people dining there if they know anywhere else.
Ive done this and soon gone from having no options to having too many to choose from!
If you have a good or bad experience somewhere it is important that you share it so other travellers or holiday-goers are aware of options.
Sites like Happy Cow and Trip Advisor rely on people sharing their experiences.
Instagram and Tweet with relevant hashtags so that others can find them when they are doing their research.
