iheartintelligence--2020-10-02--Court Rules: SUBWAY ‘Bread’ Contains TOO MUCH SUGAR To Be Legally Considered Bread

The Supreme Court of Ireland just ruled that Subway bread should not be categorized as bred for tax purposes due to its sugar-to-flour ratio .
In a decision surprising to people familiar with Subway ’ s footlong sandwiches , Ireland ’ s Supreme Court ruled that the bread they use is not actually bread .
At least not in legal terms .
The reasoning behind is that the Subway bread has way too much sugar in it , the court revealed on Tuesday .
Ireland ’ s Value-Added Tax Act of 1972 states that tax-exempt bread can not have sugar @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2 % of the flour weight .
In the company recipe , sugar makes up about 10 % of the weight of the flour , the findings reveal , which is 5 times what the law sees as acceptable .
The country ’ s law distinguishes “ bread as a staple food ” from other baked products that “ are , or approach , confectionery or fancy baked goods.
” Long story short , the supreme court has found that Subway ’ s bread might be legally closer to cake than bread .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ used this interpretation after it tried to get a tax break for some of its menu items .
Ireland permits staple foods , including bread , to have value-added taxes set at 0 % .
At first , Bookfinders brought forward a claim in 2006 , asking for a refund for some of the value-added taxes it had to pay in 2004 and 2005 .
Subway stood against the argument that there is an issue with its bread .
“ Subway ’ s bread is , of course , bread .
We have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for more than three decades and our guests return each day for sandwiches made on bread that smells as good as it tastes , ” a Subway spokesperson stated .
The company says it is looking into the ruling .
The 6-inch Subway bread piece has 3 to 5 grams of sugar , while the gluten-free one has 7 , company data states .
But this is not the first time Subway has gotten into trouble over its food .
Back in 2013 , the company was sued after a social media post @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was in fact not really a foot long .
Consequently , Subway started measuring its sandwiches , but a case settlement was dismissed as “ utterly worthless.
” The year after , Subway removed the chemical from its bread ( a chemical azodicarbonamide from its bread ( a chemical found in yoga mats ) , after people started an online petition urging for it to be taken out .
While the company will keep on paying taxes on its bread in Ireland , Apple recently received a big tax cut there .
An @ @ @ @ @ @ @ back around $ 15 billion of government tax breaks was overturned this summer .
It is possible that Ireland ’ s ruling regarding Subway could be put under one category with other debates based on carb issues .
For example , whether burritos and hot dogs can be categorized as sandwiches .
According to The State of New York , the answer to this is yes , but the U.S. Department of Agriculture holds an opposing view .

The Supreme Court of Ireland just ruled that Subway bread should not be categorized as bred for tax purposes due to its sugar-to-flour ratio.
In a decision surprising to people familiar with Subway’s footlong sandwiches, Ireland’s Supreme Court ruled that the bread they use is not actually bread. At least not in legal terms.
The reasoning behind is that the Subway bread has way too much sugar in it, the court revealed on Tuesday. Ireland’s Value-Added Tax Act of 1972 states that tax-exempt bread cannot have sugar, fat, and bread improver exceed 2% of the flour weight.
In the company recipe, sugar makes up about 10% of the weight of the flour, the findings reveal, which is 5 times what the law sees as acceptable.
The country’s law distinguishes “bread as a staple food” from other baked products that “are, or approach, confectionery or fancy baked goods.” Long story short, the supreme court has found that Subway’s bread might be legally closer to cake than bread.
“The resulting product falls outside the definition of ‘bread’ for the purposes of the Act,” the ruling said. Five judges took the case in to consideration.
Irish Subway franchisee, Bookfinders Ltd., used this interpretation after it tried to get a tax break for some of its menu items.
Ireland permits staple foods, including bread, to have value-added taxes set at 0%. At first, Bookfinders brought forward a claim in 2006, asking for a refund for some of the value-added taxes it had to pay in 2004 and 2005.
Subway stood against the argument that there is an issue with its bread.
“Subway’s bread is, of course, bread. We have been baking fresh bread in our restaurants for more than three decades and our guests return each day for sandwiches made on bread that smells as good as it tastes,” a Subway spokesperson stated. The company says it is looking into the ruling.
The 6-inch Subway bread piece has 3 to 5 grams of sugar, while the gluten-free one has 7, company data states.
But this is not the first time Subway has gotten into trouble over its food.

While the company will keep on paying taxes on its bread in Ireland, Apple recently received a big tax cut there. An order for the tech giant to pay back around $15 billion of government tax breaks was overturned this summer.
It is possible that Ireland’s ruling regarding Subway could be put under one category with other debates based on carb issues.

“Seven times in 19 years there were – and still are – 13 full moons in a year. This gives 11 months with one full moon each and one with two. This second in a month, so I interpret it, was called Blue Moon.”
Another stunning night sky scene you shouldn’t miss in October is the Mars opposition on October 13. Then, the red planet will be at its brightest until 2035.

The policeman who killed the teen resigned with $70,000 severance pay less than a month after the shooting. Furthermore, in 2019, the city paid $2.3 million to John’s mother, who had filed a wrongful death lawsuit.
In September 2020, the FBI has launched a new investigation on the fatal incident.
FBI Kansas City spokeswoman Bridget Patton announced:
“The Kansas City FBI Field Office, the Civil Rights Division, and the US Attorney’s office for the District of Kansas have opened a civil rights investigation into the fatal shooting of an Overland Park teen, John Albers.”
Patton claimed the FBI is going to look through all the available information on the case and will “ensure that the investigation is conducted in a fair, thorough, and impartial manner.”
Regarding the news of the FBI inquiry, Ms. Albers told Kansas City Star:
“The FBI investigation highlights the failure of Overland Park and District Attorney Steve Howe to be transparent in their investigations and be accountable to their constituents. We are thankful to the FBI and the US Attorney for the district of Kansas for reopening the case and shed light on what Overland Park and our DA have been able to keep hidden.”
After the 17-year-old’s tragic death, his family has established a community organization urging for police transparency, called JOCO United. The association encourages cooperation between law enforcement, government, and the community to “improve safety, transparency, and mental health response.”

iheartintelligence--2020-10-05--THC in cannabis could help prevent and treat life-threatening COVID-19 complications

Cannabis can help treat severe COVID-19 complications , researchers say .
• THC in cannabis could help prevent a harmful immune response that causes Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome ( ARDS ) , according to researchers .
• After introducing a toxin that triggers ARDS into mice , all of the rodents that were given THC survived .
• Although the studies are promising , the experts are NOT encouraging people to use cannabis to self-medicate for COVID-19 .
A team of experts at the University of South Carolina found that Tetrahydrocannabinol ( THC ) , the chemical that gives cannabis @ @ @ @ @ @ @ significantly help in the battle with coronavirus .
The researchers discovered that THC ’ s effects could help prevent a harmful immune response that causes Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome ( ARDS ) .
As Daily Mail notes , ARDS is one of the most common life-threatening complications in COVID-19 patients .
It can lead to permanent pulmonary scarring and even death .
The USC scientists analyzed whether THC could block the immune response that leads to ARDS developing .
To achieve that result , they introduced a toxin that triggers the response into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ three studies , all of the mice that were given the THC survived after the toxin .
Contrarily , the ones that were not given the cannabis chemical died .
The experts alerted that their research is still ongoing and insisted that they are NOT advising COVID-19 patients to self-medicate with marijuana .
Despite their concerns , they claimed that their studies were highly promising .
In an August interview for The State , Prakash Nagarkatti , co-author of the studies , explained : The life-threatening immune response ARDS is a form of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to strike in coronavirus patients when their immune systems go into overdrive to fight the virus and begin attacking healthy cells .
What THC does , according to the studies , is blocking the body ’ s immune response while also developing healthy bacteria in the lungs .
The researchers are planning to begin trials on humans to further analyze the potential effectiveness of the chemical in fighting COVID-19 .
However , they are not advocating marihuana as a self-medicating approach for battling coronavirus .
Nagarkatti said : Other studies have also found @ @ @ @ @ @ @ potential treatment for the dangerous virus .
Israel researchers have conducted a study that found that a particular terpene compound in marihuana could also be used to prevent cytokine storm .
This is an inflammatory response that can lead to fever , fatigue , and vomiting in COVID-19 patients .

The research states : As per the Canadian researchers , the novel strain of cannabis “ can be used to develop easy-to-use preventative treatments ” for clinical and at-home use .

Although the studies are promising, the experts are NOT encouraging people to use cannabis to self-medicate for COVID-19.
A team of experts at the University of South Carolina found that Tetrahydrocannabinol(THC), the chemical that gives cannabis its “high” influence, could significantly help in the battle with coronavirus. The researchers discovered that THC’s effects could help prevent a harmful immune response that causes Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS). As Daily Mail notes, ARDS is one of the most common life-threatening complications in COVID-19 patients. It can lead to permanent pulmonary scarring and even death.
The USC scientists analyzed whether THC could block the immune response that leads to ARDS developing. To achieve that result, they introduced a toxin that triggers the response into several mice. In a total of three studies, all of the mice that were given the THC survived after the toxin. Contrarily, the ones that were not given the cannabis chemical died.
The experts alerted that their research is still ongoing and insisted that they are NOT advising COVID-19 patients to self-medicate with marijuana.
Despite their concerns, they claimed that their studies were highly promising.
In an August interview for The State, Prakash Nagarkatti, co-author of the studies, explained:
“The underlying mechanism is your immune system goes haywire and starts destroying your lungs and all your other organs. It’s like a car where you’re putting on a lot of accelerator, but the brakes aren’t working. Basically what’s going to happen is your car is going to crash because you can’t stop it. And that’s basically what’s happening with ARDS.”
The life-threatening immune response ARDS is a form of lung failure. It has been known to strike in coronavirus patients when their immune systems go into overdrive to fight the virus and begin attacking healthy cells. What THC does, according to the studies, is blocking the body’s immune response while also developing healthy bacteria in the lungs.
The researchers are planning to begin trials on humans to further analyze the potential effectiveness of the chemical in fighting COVID-19.
However, they are not advocating marihuana as a self-medicating approach for battling coronavirus. Nagarkatti said:
“I just want to make sure our research is not interpreted as marijuana is good for COVID 19. If you start using THC early on it might worsen the effect because it suppresses the immune system.”
Other studies have also found evidence of cannabis being used as a potential treatment for the dangerous virus.
Israel researchers have conducted a study that found that a particular terpene compound in marihuana could also be used to prevent cytokine storm. This is an inflammatory response that can lead to fever, fatigue, and vomiting in COVID-19 patients.
According to the Israel scientists, terpene was significantly more effective in suppressing cytokine storms than Dexamethasone, which is a common corticosteroid treatment for inflammation.
Moreover, a Canadian study examining preventive strategies against coronavirus has concluded that a specific strain of cannabis could help block the virus from entering the body in the first place. The research states:
“Similar to other respiratory pathogens, SARS-CoV2 is transmitted through respiratory droplets, with potential for aerosol and contact spread. It uses receptor-mediated entry into the human host via angiotensin-converting enzyme II (ACE2) that is expressed in lung tissue, as well as oral and nasal mucosa, kidney, testes, and the gastrointestinal tract. Modulation of ACE2 levels in these gateway tissues may prove a plausible strategy for decreasing disease susceptibility.”
As per the Canadian researchers, the novel strain of cannabis “can be used to develop easy-to-use preventative treatments” for clinical and at-home use.
The studies regarding cannabis’ effectiveness in battling coronavirus are still far from conclusive. However, the results suggest a promising role for the plant in fighting the disease.

The woman said his act was “pure evil.”
Andrew Lewis, 47, from Worcester, tricked his victim by intentionally making a hole in a condom with a pin before engaging in sexual intercourse. The incident occurred on March 10, 2018, Daily Mail reveals.
On October 2, 2020, Lewis was given four years behind bars at Worcester Crown Court.
According to the prosecutor Glyn Samuel, the woman had found the pin along with other punctured contraceptives in a drawer next to the bed. When she saw the pierced condoms, she immediately checked the one they had used and saw the hole the man had previously made in it.
The victim claimed the act was “pure evil.”
Prosecutor Samuel said:
“He told police he had hoped the condom would split and it would improve the intimacy. He said it was the stupidest thing he has ever done. In piercing the condom beforehand there was a degree of planning involved.”

However, as Judge Cole, who sentenced the 47-year-old man, said, the victim made it clear she did not want a baby. While she had given consent for the sexual act, she was demanding Lewis should use a condom. Therefore, his deed was “a breach of trust.”
While giving Andrew Lewis the four-year sentence, Judge Cole added:

“In search of a planet better than Earth”: Experts discovered ‘superhabitable’ exoplanets that may have better conditions than our own.
A team of Washington State University astronomers identified 24 ‘superhabitable’ planets.
The newly discovered planets could have better conditions for life than planet Earth.
The findings could be a significant step towards exploring for life elsewhere in the universe.
Washington State University astronomers identified two dozens of planets that could have suitable and even better conditions for life than Earth. The newly discovered planets were distinguished out of 4,500 exoplanets, Daily Mail reports.
According to the team leading the research, the ‘superhabitable’ planets create better conditions for developing complex life, as they are older, larger, warmer, and most probably have more water than Earth. The combination of these factors with a slightly cooler and longer-living star than our sun is a predicament for shaping a significantly improved environment.
Dirk Schulze-Makuch, the lead author of the study, says these planets have the most hopeful conditions for developing complex life forms.
Unfortunately, the new worlds are too far for us to be able to visit them – over 100 light-years away. However, the Washington astronomers’ findings could be a valuable step towards searching for life elsewhere in the vast universe.
The author and geobiologist, backed up by the team of professionals, identified potential criteria for a planet to be called ‘superhabitable’. It’s essential to be mentioned that habitability does not mean that these new planets definitely have life. What the term describes is that they likely have the conditions needed for developing life.
While working on their research, the team examined systems with probable terrestrial planets orbiting within the host star’s ‘liquid water habitable zone’, also called the ‘Goldilocks zone.’
Determining factors for deeming a planet ‘superhabitable’:
In orbit around a K dwarf star
About 5–8 billion years old
Up to 1.5 more massive than Earth and about 10% larger than Earth
Mean surface temperature about 5°C higher than on Earth
Moist atmosphere with 25–30% O2 levels, the rest mostly inert gases (e.g., N2)
Scattered land/water distributed with lots of shallow water areas and archipelagos
Large moon (1–10% of the planetary mass) at moderate distance (10–100 planetary radii)
Has plate tectonics or similar geological/geochemical recycling mechanism as well as a strong protective geomagnetic field
Schulze-Makuch explained:
“With the next space telescopes coming up, we will get more information, so it is important to select some targets. We have to focus on certain planets that have the most promising conditions for complex life. However, we have to be careful to not get stuck looking for a second Earth because there could be planets that might be more suitable for life than ours.”
Although none of the 24 most promising planets meets all the norms to be identified as ‘superhabitable,’ one of them has four of the characteristics. This makes the possibility of the existence of a better planet than Earth much higher. The geobiologist added:
“It’s sometimes difficult to convey this principle of superhabitable planets because we think we have the best planet.
