Easy and inventive egg recipes (that will reduce your risk of stroke)

Posted: 22 May 2018 01:55 AM PDT

Easy and inventive egg recipes (that will reduce your risk of stroke)With the news that eating one egg a day may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, it seems only right that eggs are making a breakfast comeback. According to new research published in the journal Heart, for which researchers from Peking University Health Science Centre examined data from over 400,000 participants in China, consumption of up to one egg daily was linked with lower rates of strokes and heart disease. While in this country, it seems we have already embraced the idea of going to work on an egg once more. In March, figures showed that we are eat on average an egg every two days - bringing us closer to the levels of egg consumption seen in the 1970s, when they were at their peak.  The British Egg Industry Council, which carried out the research, said people are once again taking the time to make a "proper" breakfast after a string of reports warning of cereal's high sugar content, with some containing as much as 12g of sugar per serving.  It is estimated that over the Easter bank holiday around 45 million eggs are eaten a day, with families sitting down to brunches that star eggs as the star of the show.  Not only are eggs delicious and incredibly versatile, they are an extremely healthy choice too, being high in protein, low in calories and full of vitamins. Here, then, we share some of our favourite egg-based recipes, making the most of this humble yet heroic ingredient.  Easy and exciting egg recipes Coddled eggs with spinach, mushrooms, and Marmite soldiers Credit: ANDERS SCHONNEMANN  Colourful layered eggs Credit: Susan Bell The Delauney's eggs Arlington   Socca flatbreads with herb yoghurt, harissa, feta and fried eggs Credit: Olivia Williamson  Baked sausages, with beans, eggs and feta  Credit: Haarala Hamilton  Breakfast bacon and egg tart The perfect shakshuka Credit: Heathcliff O'Malley Duck egg with smoked salmon and caviar Credit: KATE WHITAKER New potato and chorizo hash with asparagus and poached egg Indian cheese on toast Credit: Dishoom  Sweet potato mash with bacon lardons, fried egg and parsley pesto Credit: Yuki Sugiura

Beijing's South China Sea bombers fly in the face of protests

Posted: 22 May 2018 12:52 AM PDT

Beijing's South China Sea bombers fly in the face of protestsChina's brazen landing of nuclear-capable bombers on an island in the disputed South China Sea is a bold power play to bolster its territorial claims while rivals are divided and the US distracted by North Korea, analysts say. China attracted diplomatic protests after long-range H-6K bombers carried out landing and takeoff drills at an unidentified island airstrip on Friday. The planes are believed to have landed on Woody Island, China's largest base in the Paracel Islands which is also claimed by Vietnam and Taiwan, according to Bonnie Glaser, a China expert at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.

Trump's blocking of critics on Twitter violates Constitution: U.S. judgeBy Brendan Pierson NEW YORK (Reuters) - A U.S. judge in New York on Wednesday ruled that President Donald Trump may not legally block Twitter users from his account on the social media platform based on their political views. Trump has made his @RealDonaldTrump Twitter account an integral and controversial part of his presidency, using it to promote his agenda, announce policy and attack critics. U.S. District Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald in Manhattan ruled that comments on the president's account, and those of other government officials, were public forums, and that blocking Twitter users for their views violated their right to free speech under the First Amendment of Constitution.

Plaque honoring Olympic soccer player Brandi Chastain couldn't look less like her

Posted: 22 May 2018 12:08 PM PDT

Plaque honoring Olympic soccer player Brandi Chastain couldn't look less like herWhen will sculptors learn how to sculpt?  On Monday, soccer player Brandi Chastain was inducted into the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame. This is well deserved as Chastain is a two-time Olympic gold medalist and a two-time World Cup champion. SEE ALSO: New Zealand female soccer players will be paid the same as men Unfortunately, though she is joining a group of notable and honored athletes, the plaque made in her honor is joining a league with a different sort of fame. Brandi Chastain has won a World Cup and gold medals but her greatest achievement is smiling graciously next to this whackass plaque pic.twitter.com/YzGda3g4vF — Ryan Mac (@RMac18) May 22, 2018 Here's a closer side-by-side to see the stark difference between plaque and athlete. Yeowch.  What'd Brandi Chastain do to deserve this?! pic.twitter.com/WE5Xz2NZZG — Cass Anderson (@casspa) May 22, 2018 Much like the infamous bust of Cristaino Ronaldo that was unveiled last year, Chastain's plaque bears very, very little resemblance to the actual athlete.  The Brandi Chastain plaque goes into the Art Fails Hall of Fame. pic.twitter.com/ZquxIyueYJ — Liam Martin (@LiamWBZ) May 22, 2018 The internet had a field day trying to find all the people the plaque looks like that are most definitely not Chastain. I could make a list of 50 people this plaque looks like and none of them are Brandi Chastain https://t.co/fiBp2kUj9A — Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) May 22, 2018 ...so when exactly did poor Brandi Chastain become Babe Ruth?? pic.twitter.com/XIxSTRogcc — ✨NewYorkCityNurse™✨(Mets 4 in a row) (@GypsyRN212) May 22, 2018 #ChastainBust pic.twitter.com/Wmn1FILWxd — ��BeTheChange76�� (@bethechange76) May 22, 2018 I don't know about Brandi Chastain, but they nailed Mickey Rooney. pic.twitter.com/wfSb7irMbx — Jason Davis, The ⚽�� Maker (@davisjsn) May 22, 2018 Brandi Chastain's new HOF plaque. pic.twitter.com/FXqDXwyyD3 — Sam Adams (@SWXSamAdams) May 22, 2018 But Chastain's not letting this less-than-accurate representation of her ruin this special moment.  "It's not the most flattering," said Chastain at the reception. "But it's nice." #BrandiChastain jumps to the front of the 2018 Nobel Peace Prize pack for this diplomacy on her Hall of Fame plaque: "It's not the most flattering...But it's nice" https://t.co/LnP5OVihsQ @mercbrownie @Tyska — Matthias Gafni (@mgafni) May 22, 2018 Fortunately, the plaque is set to be redone by the Hall of Fame, according to Yahoo News. Hopefully a more fitting representation of Chastain is underway. Such a soccer icon deserves it.  WATCH: Sports journalists in Brazil have had it with sexual harassment on the job

U.S. veteran pleads guilty to airport killings to avoid death penaltyA U.S. veteran of the war in Iraq on Wednesday pleaded guilty to fatally shooting five people to death at Fort Lauderdale International Airport in January 2017, in a deal approved by a federal judge that spared him the death penalty.

Santiago flew from his home in Anchorage, Alaska, to Fort Lauderdale, retrieved a Walther 9mm pistol and two clips of ammunition that he had checked on the flight and opened fire near a baggage carousel.
