Keep kids learning
Worried your kid forgets everything they've learnt when not at school? Here's how to keep their brain sharp. more
By around six months of age, babies appetites are more difficult to satisfy with breast milk or formula alone. Babies are also ready to experience new tastes and textures, and starting on solids helps your baby's teeth and jaws develop. Here's all you need to know about weaning your baby.
If you're trying to get your baby to sleep longer during the night, an important step is to phase out the night feed. From six months of age, babies who are developing well no longer need a night feed, which means you can definitely start considering how to phase it out, if that's what you choose.
If your baby's night-time feed is short, less than five minutes, consider stopping the feed altogether and re-settling your baby with the settling techniques of your choice. (It might take baby several nights to get used to the new routine.)
If your baby's feed is typically longer than five minutes, gradually cut down the time spent feeding over 5-7 nights. Here's how:
1. Time the length of your baby's usual night feed.
2. Then cut down on the time your baby spends feeding by 2-5 minutes every second night. For example, if your baby usually feeds for 15 minutes, you would feed for 13 minutes for two nights, then 11 minutes for the next two nights, then nine minutes for the next two nights, and so on.
3. Re-settle your baby after each shortened feed with the settling techniques of your choice.
4. Once your baby is feeding for five minutes or less, stop the feed altogether.
5. If you choose, you can cut down the time faster for example, by five minutes every two nights.
If your baby is having 60ml of milk or less during a night feed, you can stop the feed altogether and re-settle your baby with the settling techniques of your choice. If your baby's feed is more than 60ml each night, you can gradually cut down on the amount your baby drinks over 5-7 nights. Here's how:
1. Reduce the volume of milk by 20-30ml every second night. For example, if your baby usually drinks 180ml, you would give 150ml for two nights, then 120ml for the next two nights, and so on.
2. Resettle your baby after each smaller feed with the settling techniques of your choice.
3. Once you get down to 60ml or less in the bottle, stop the feed altogether.
You might notice that your baby begins to feed more during the day after you cease the night feed. This improvement in daytime appetite could take another week to settle in.
Remember, Dads can be pros at night weaning.
When weaning from breast milk to a cup or a bottle, the first step is to drop the breastfeed your baby seems least keen on. For babies under one year of age, this should then be replaced with infant formula, while children over one year can drink full-cream cows milk from either a bottle or a cup. Then drop another feed every week or few days, replacing it with cows milk or formula each time.
Breast milk or infant formula should be your baby's main source of nutrition for around the first year of life, with experts recommending the introduction of solids from six months of age. Expose your baby to as many new tastes and textures as possible, as it will make them more adventurous during the picky toddler years.
How to know when your baby isnt ready for solids
If you decide baby-led weaning is for you, throw out your food processor, as there are no purees and no spoon feeding! All about independent eating, it involves offering food to your baby from your hand or placing it on the high chair tray and allowing your baby to feed themselves. With no pureed pumpkin or apple sauce on the menu, your baby's solids include pieces of soft fruit and cooked veggies.
If you're still breastfeeding after your child is a year old, weaning off the breast can be a natural process. As your baby grows into a busy toddler, they will naturally breast feed less as they become able to entertain themselves more. Your milk supply will drop in tandem to their decreased needs and your toddler might start to prefer a drink of water in a cup. Even though they are in the process of self-weaning, many toddlers still like to feel close to mum with one feed a day, perhaps in the morning or before going to bed.
Discover 3 advantages to baby-led weaning
If you haven't weaned your baby off breastfeeding by the age of one, many mums agree that it may become more challenging as time goes on, as toddlers start to use the breast for comfort, asking for the breast in situations when mum might not want to feed. Try these tips to help a toddler wean:

If its time to return to work, or if you happen to fall ill, it doesn't mean you have to stop breast-feeding. You can prepare for a sudden change in breastfeeding requirements by building up a bank of breast milk at home. That way, your baby will have a guaranteed food supply the one they're accustomed to should your routine change.
Its something to start doing in the early days of breastfeeding, when you have more milk than your baby can handle. When your baby has finished feeding, but there's milk left in your breasts, express off some of the excess milk, pour it into specially sterilised breast milk bags (available at most pharmacies) and store it in the freezer.
Experts recommend replacing one breastfeed every five to seven days with formula if your baby is under one. If your baby is older than one, replace the breast feed with full-cream cows milk in a bottle or a cup. Continue to replace the breast feeds until your baby is drinking formula or milk exclusively, which could take a few weeks.
If you need to wean more suddenly, your breasts may become overfull and very uncomfortable after missing a couple of feeds. Here's how to wean in a few days:

Babies may try solid foods from around six months of age. Introducing them too early, before four months, may cause food allergies in your child. Leave it after six months and your baby wont be getting enough sustenance from breast milk or formula alone.
Many experts recommend that a baby's first food should be a taste of rice cereal mixed with a little cool, boiled water, formula or expressed breast milk. Stir together until its quite runny. If its too thick, your bub might reject it, as their palate has only tasted liquids at this stage. Offer half a teaspoon after your baby's lunch-time milk feed, then offer a little more each day, increasing to a few teaspoons over a few days.
Once your baby is used to cereal, try offering a small amount of warm pureed vegetable, such as carrot, sweet potato or pumpkin. One tip is to freeze the puree into ice cubes and store them in the freezer, defrosting before each meal. Many experts also recommend introducing pureed vegetables before fruit, as babies already have a sweet palate, which was formed from drinking breast milk and formula. Pureed pear, apple or peach or good first fruits to try.
Offer the same new food for a few days, even if your baby turns it down at first. Research shows that babies often need to try a new food ten times before they will accept it.
How many new foods should you try in the first week? Find out here
When weaning off breastfeeding, you may have to wear nursing pads for a while, as breasts tend to leak during the weaning process.
Its quite common to feel a bit down after your last breast feed, even if you were looking forward to weaning. So be sure to nurture yourself as well as your baby during weaning.
When weaning on to solids, offer them between milk feeds, when your baby is neither too hungry nor too full.
A babys first taste of solids should be smooth in texture and the spoon should be small, shallow and soft.
Always store prepared baby food in covered containers at the back of the fridge. Never store formula in the door, as it will be difficult to keep it at the required temperature to keep bacteria at bay.

New Jersey fruit growers are fighting a new pest this year.
A spotted wing drosophila has been found in a trap on a blueberry farm in Atlantic County, N.J., according to a news release from the New Jersey Department of Agriculture.
The finding was confirmed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Systematic Entomology Laboratory.
So far this season, growers of blueberries and peaches in the Garden State haven't reported damage from spotted wing drosophila, which are more commonly known as vinegar flies or fruit flies.
Scientists at Rutgers, New Jersey's state university, are tracking drosophila populations and advising growers on crop protection measures.
A native of Southeast Asia, drosophila was first confirmed in the U.S. in 2008, in California. Since then, the pest has been found in Florida, Washington and six other U.S. fruit-producing states and in five Canadian provinces.
Drosophilae pierce the skin of soft fruits and lay eggs in them. Tiny holes on the skin of fruits and maggots in their flesh are telltale signs of the pest.

Computability, Analysis, and Geometry (15w5005)
Arriving in Banff, Alberta Sunday, March 8 and departing Friday March 13, 2015
Mark Braverman (Princeton University)
Michael Yampolsky (University of Toronto)
Theory of computation of analytic objects is an emerging field of mathematics which has seen much exciting progress recently. Numerical simulation has become second nature in dynamics, and in many branches of analysis. It is key to understanding a wide range of phenomena ranging from planets' movement, to climate patterns, to market dynamics. Various numerical tools have been developed to help answer specific questions, such as predicting the weather or planning the trajectory of a satellite. However, while we have vast knowledge about the computability and complexity of discrete problems, computability theory of the continuous world is only beginning to come into its own.Computable analysis has a venerable history, beginning with the work of Banach and Mazur of 1937 (only a year since Turing's seminal paper introduced both Turing Machine as a model of computation, and a concept of a computable real number). While details may vary, generally speaking, a real function f(x) is understood to be computable if there is an algorithm to compute an arbitrarily good rational approximation of the value of f(x) given a good enough rational approximation of the value of the argument x (think of how a pocket calculator produces the value of an exponential, as an example). The framework of computable analysis was extensively developed in the several following decades mainly by logicians. Its application to hard problems of modern numerical analysis and dynamics is much more recent.One instructive example is the computational complexity of the Riemann mapping of a simply-connected domain in the complex plane. The first complete proof of the existence of the mapping, given by Paul Koebe, was already constructive. Intuitively it is clear that the computational hardness of constructing the mapping should correspond to the geometric complexity of the boundary of the domain. Computation of the Riemann map is important in applications from classical problems of dynamics to exotic, such as the human brain mapping. I. Binder and the two authors of the proposal have shown that the problem of computing the Riemann mapping at a point inside the domain lies in the complexity class #P given an oracle for the boundary. The best practical algorithm is the elegant "Zipper" constructed by D. Marshall and S. Rohde. Its complexity is exponential, so potentially its efficiency may be improved. In some settings one may be interested in a speedy computation of a rough but uniform approximation of the Riemann mapping. In a beautiful recent paper of C. Bishop this question has been formalized for an n-gon, and the complexity has been shown to be equal to O(n). All of these works present a synthesis of classical complex analysis with theoretical computer science and numerical methods.Another example of the above synthesis is a series of recent works of the authors of the proposal, I. Binder, C. Rojas, and others, on computability of Julia sets of rational maps. It is a common feature of chaotic dynamics that the orbit of a single point cannot be reliably approximated numerically due to sensitivity to initial conditions. In the modern paradigm of dynamics, typically there exists a finite collection of attractors which absorb almost every orbit. These attractors are the focus of numerical methods. Julia sets are perhaps the most drawn mathematical objects, due to their beauty and the deep and difficult theory behind them. They are repellers (attractors for the inverse branches) of rational maps. Despite a plethora of numerical algorithms to draw them, the questions of their computational hardness were not studied before our work. Surprisingly, it has turned out that even in the family of quadratic polynomials there exist computable maps with non-computable Julia sets: even though one iteration of such a dynamical system is easy to simulate numerically, its repellers are impossible to visualize. These results rely on a number of cutting edge techniques of complex dynamics, drawing from works of A. Cheritat, X. Buff, M. Shishikura, and others. The questions of computational complexity of computable Julia sets are wide open for the most intriguing classes of maps. From the point of view of applications, it is natural to ask whether a typical map has a polynomial-time computable Julia set. While there are some encouraging results in this direction, notably a recent work of A. Dudko, the answer is not known. The generalizations to higher-dimensional families of dynamical systems, such as Henon maps, are also not known – and pose a number of exciting and challenging problems.Polynomial root finding algorithms are another branch of analysis in which both numerical methods and theoretical complexity bounds have generated exciting mathematics. The theoretical approach has been pioneered by M. Shub and S. Smale in a series of works in the 1980's and 1990's. In 1981, S. Smale has introduced a concept of an approximate zero of a polynomial – an initial value from which an iteration of the Newton's method converges to a true zero at a quadratic speed. Smale's 17th problem asks for an algorithm to find approximate roots of a typical polynomial equation in polynomial time. A probabilistic algorithm has recently been constructed by C. Beltran and M. Pardo. A deterministic algorithm with running time close to polynomial was given by P. Burgisser and F. Cucker in 2009. Dynamics of a root-finding method can in general be very sensitive to the initial value, as evidenced by beautiful fractal pictures for the dynamics of the Newton's method in the complex plane. In 2001, J. Hubbard, D. Schleicher, and S. Sutherland constructed a small set of initial values for the Newton's method (less than 1.11d log2d where d is the degree) which suffice for the Newton's method to find all of the roots. Recently M.-H. Kim, M. Martens, and S. Sutherland studied a similar set of questions for a path-finding method, proving, for instance, that on average over all polynomials and for a typical initial value, an approximate root can be found in time linear in the degree.There is a beautiful connection between theory of computation and differential geometry. It probably starts with the work of M. Gromov from the early 1980's, who showed that a closed manifold whose fundamental group has an algorithmically unsolvable word problem possesses infinitely many contractible closed geodesics. The interplay between geometric and computational ideas has come to fruition in a series of works of A. Nabutovsky and S. Weingberger. Using algorithmic complexity considerations, they have shown that the geometry of the "parameter space" of equivalence classes of Riemannian metrics Riem(M)/Diff(M) for every closed manifold of dimension d>4 is spectacularly complex. To describe it, consider a scale-invariant functional on Riem(M)/Diff(M) which measures geometric complexity of the metric, such as (sup K)diam2. Nabutovsky and Weinberger showed that this functional will have infinitely many local minima on the parameter space. Furthermore, these minima are not isolated – in every neighborhood of one of them there are infinitely many others. The minima are also "deep", that is, to go from one to another along a continuous path one has to pass through a point where the value of the functional is large. The results of Nabutovsky and Weinberger can be interpreted as a failure of geometrization – in dimensions 5 and higher there does not exist a locally optimal (from the point of view of a specific functional) Riemannian metric. It is striking that the origin of geometric complexity here is algorithmic non-decidability of recognition problems of closed manifolds. The situation is reversed in dimension 3 – the success of the geometrization program, which has culminated with the work of G. Perelman, implies that natural recognition questions are decidable algorithmically. This shifts the interest to computational complexity questions. A few years ago, I. Agol, J. Hass, and W. Thurston showed that the problem of deciding whether a polygonal knot in a closed three-dimensional manifold bounds a surface of genus at most g is NP-complete. Further, S. Schleimer demonstrated that the three-sphere recognition problem lies in NP.Similar techniques in dynamics have developed in the theory of postcritically finite branched coverings (or Thurston maps) in dimension 2. The works of V. Nekrashevych, L. Bartholdi, and others have developed a group-theoretic language of describing these objects. Recognition problems (such as the Douady-Hubbard "twisted rabbit problem") were effectively resolved using this approach. The general geometrization program for Thurston maps has been formulated by K. Pilgrim, and recently completed by N. Selinger. This opens a way of resolving the general algorithmic recognition problem for Thurston maps. In a particular case, when the geometrization of the Thurston map is a rational endomorphism, this problem was recently solved by S. Bonnot and the authors of the proposal.Randomness is one of the most tantalizing mathematical concepts. Consider the following two sequences of "heads" and "tails": HTHTHTHTHT... and HHTHTTTHHT... (the second one was actually produced by tossing a coin). Intuitively, it is clear that the first one is less "random" than the second – yet from the point of view of Probability Theory they are equally likely. The first sequence is produced by a simple rule: repeat "HT" n times. Thus, for an arbitrary value of n, it can be compressed to an instruction of a finite length. The degree of compression which a finite string allows is codified by its Kolmogorov complexity. Its connection with randomness stems from the algorithmically effective definition of randomness due to Martin-Löf (a student of Kolmogorov). A Martin-Löf random sequence is "unpredictable" – you cannot infer its future behaviour from the initial string. Equivalently, such a sequence is incompressible in the sense of Kolmogorov complexity. Different models of effective computation lead to a hierarchy of definitions of algorithmic randomness, a field actively developed by R. Downey, D. Hirschfeldt, and others. Algorithmic randomness also gives rise to effective ergodic theory, which studies algorithmic unpredictability of dynamics in the above sense. This field has led to some elegant interplay between computability and dynamics in the works of P. Gacs, S. Galatolo, M. Hoyrup, C. Rojas, and others. The aim of the workshop is to bring together the experts working on different aspects of the rapidly developing field of Theory of Computation in Dynamics, Analysis, and Geometry. There is a growing understanding that computational complexity considerations play a fundamental role in "analytic" disciplines. Intuitively, objects which are hard to compute should be analytically or geometrically complex. Exploring this connection leads to a beautiful interplay between theoretical computer science and analysis, and has produced powerful results in both directions. The proposed workshop will create a unique opportunity at building new synthesis within this emerging area by bringing together experts and top young talent in key areas of overlap between Computational Complexity and Analysis/Geometry.

Wichita-based BCX Software, a recently established electronic data management firm, is developing Airworthiness Management System. AMS is an electronic data-sharing product designed to streamline and standardize the process of complying with FAA requirements for obtaining airworthiness certification.
David Bernstorf, the company's founder and president, spent more than 35 years with Beech Aircraft, working in various capacities before becoming vice president of safety and certification. In 2010 he left Beech to start BCX Consulting, which specializes in helping companies improve financial performance, regulatory compliance and safety. The development of AMS is a collaborative effort between BCX and Larry Van Dyke of ICX Consulting.
"Larry and I were both involved in the certification and airworthiness areas of aircraft new-product development for the past several years. We recognized there are a lot of different ways companies interact with FAA. Some were doing a better job of it than others, but most were very conventional in their approach, using Word documents and Excel spreadsheets. We felt there had to be a better way of doing it," Bernstorf told AIN.
According to Bernstorf, the two noticed that "different companies used different processes, forcing the FAA to learn different systems. The idea was to develop a single, standardized system. Our background, our comfort zone, was from the OEM's perspective, so we set out looking at the development of supplemental type certificates, type certificates and production certificates. However, the FAA's delegation procedures also include repair stations, and TSO and PMA shops," he said.
Bernstorf said the companies are designing AMS to be an all-encompassing system: One tool that addresses all areas, and can be used by everyone to simplify the process.
"We're also targeting international authorities because Transport Canada, EASA and the Brazilian regulatory agency account for the majority of all international certifications. When you look at their respective regulations you find that better than 95 percent are the same," he said.
Bernstorf points out that AMS won't replace existing regulations but rather would be a tool to help comply with them.
"From a practical perspective AMS will let you get through the certification process in less time. We're conservatively estimating it will yield as much as a five-percent reduction in the time required. It will let you get the job done in less time, for less money and it won't impact the safety of the overall job. It makes you a collaborative partner with the FAA and will help eliminate the 'oh nos' that all too often show up at the end of the program."

Standadization is a Key for a lot of improvements, once the regulations should be standards for every country, with only minor differences. Please tell me more about AMS, if possible.

A POLICE bike squad is set to be axed – just 18 months after it was launched.
The trail-blazing team will go as part of Essex Police's most radical shake-up in decades – the force needs to make £41million of savings within the next four years.
Roger Watson, vice chairman of Essex Police Federation, said it was a big loss.
He added: "They can get through Southend quite quickly when traffic is snarled up, and they can get to scenes quicker. But it's going to be subject to the cuts."
However, the bikes will still be kept by the force and the officers will still be able to use them when necessary.
The team will also re-form for major events, such as the 2012 Olympic mountain-biking event at Hadleigh Castle.
Supt Jon Dodman, of the south eastern division, said: "Officers deployed on cycles remain a tactical option, as they always have been.
"Indeed our Velo team will be involved in the 2012 Olympic cycling event.
"On a day-to-day basis, senior officers now need to decide the most practical and efficient use of its limited resources, including the deployment of officers in vehicles, on foot and on bicycles."
Southend's "advanced cycle team" was set up in February 2010. It made 177 arrests in its first year.
It also closed four cannabis factories, and made stop-checks which led to ten houses being searched for drugs.
The real benefit of the team was it could reach places quickly, without the worry of negotiating heavy traffic.
The team wore body cameras to record evidence vital to getting a prosecution in court.
Now the officers will be deployed to other frontline roles, either working as part of a shift, or on neighbourhood specialist teams.

Bison Men Appear Primed for Big Season
Nov. 13 -
BETHANY, W.Va. – The Bethany College men's basketball team, with five of its top six scorers returning from last year's PAC Championship team, appear primed and ready to make another run at a conference championship with the additional goal of making a run into the NCAA Tournament.
The Bison are returning 82 percent of their scoring from last year's team which set a new single-season school record for wins by finishing 25-4. Bethany won the PAC regular season title, then swept through the league playoffs to claim its conference-record 14
PAC title and earn an eighth bid to the NCAA Tournament.
With so much coming back from a highly successful team, as well as eight newcomers that should make BC a far deeper team, the Bison have gained some preseason attention. The Green and White rank first among Others Receiving Votes in the D3Hoops.com Preseason Top 25 poll and were picked first in the PAC preseason poll. Fourth-year head coach Andrew Sachs (right), who has a 65-21 overall record and a .756 winning percentage that is the highest in program history, says his team welcomes the raised expectations this year.
"Practices this year are the most competitive since I've been here," said Sachs. "That is because we are significantly deeper in the backcourt this year. However, that depth with the freshmen and transfers is inexperienced, so the new guys still have a learning curve for how we play.
"We embrace the high expectations and kind of knew where they would be when the semester started," said Sachs. "The biggest issue you can face is complacency, but the returners have had to stay sharp with the newcomers nipping at their heels. We've improved every year I've been here and we want to continue that.The improvement might not be in our record, but in winning a third straight PAC championship and going to the NCAA Tournament for a third straight year, which has never been done here.
While the Bison do bring back a lot from a team that won its second consecutive conference crown, there will be a big hole in the middle to fill. Two-time First Team All-PAC selection British Alexander, who blocked 122 shots in just two seasons in Green and White, completed his eligibility last spring, so filling those shoes will be a challenge for Sachs.
"Even though we have so much back, we do have a big hole to fill in replacing British," said Sachs. "He was a two-time all-conference player who was an unbelievable defensive player. What British did for us will be very hard to replace."
While the post may be a position of concern early on, one spot the Bison feel good about is point guard. Senior Reece Mabery (right - Natrona Heights, Pa./Highlands) was a Second Team All-PAC choice last year after he finished second on the team in scoring (13.7), assists (2.8) and steals (2.7). In just two seasons, he has risen to fifth in Bethany history with 159 steals. He'll be backed up by a pair of transfers in 6-0 junior Lawrence Weldon (Baltimore, Md./Poly) and 5-11 sophomore David Butcher (Rockledge, Fla./Viera) to make BC extremely deep at the point.
"This is the deepest the point guard spot has been since I've been here," said Sachs. "Reece is an all-conference player with Lawrence and David behind him. They each bring something different to the table, but the one thing they all bring is they can defend. They are very quick, can get in passing lanes and are a solid group."
The wing spots will be occupied by seniors Nick Wilcox (Venetia, Pa./Peters Township) and James Barton (Bethel Park, Pa.). Despite playing with an injury for much of last year, Wilcox (right) was last year's PAC Player of the Year after averaging 14.8 points, 7.9 rebounds and 3.2 steals per game. He enters the season as the program's all-time leader in steals (224) and ranked 17
in scoring (1,128). Barton averaged 13.1 points per game and is third in Bethany history in free throw percentage (84.6) and 10
in career three-pointers (135).
Behind those two is a group of athletic newcomers who will make the Bison a deeper squad on the wing than in years past. Junior transfers Tyrone Smothers (Baltimore, Md./Merganthaler) and Devon Braswell (Detroit, Mich./Communication Media Arts) join the program for their first season, while 6-4 freshman Alan Harper (Cleveland, Ohio/Cleveland Central Catholic), 5-10 freshman Tommy Junkin (Charles Town, W.Va./Washington) and 6-1 sophomore Delonte Joyce (Annapolis, Md.), who played in 18 games a season ago for BC, are vying for time.
"Nick is the returning Player of the Year in the conference and what few people know is he played the last 20 games last season with a broken thumb," said Sachs. "He had it taken care of in the off-season, but because of that, he is still getting back into shape now. James (right) is one of our best three-point shooters and one of the best in the conference.
"We expect to be deeper at the wing spots this season," said Sachs. "Tyrone and Devon are transfers who will compete for time and Tyrone can play some at the three. Alan is a freshman who is really long and athletic. Tommy adds depth and can shoot it pretty well and Delonte adds depth at the wing as well. (Red-shirt freshman) Aaron Ashley (Cleveland Heights, Ohio) can play wing if necessary as well.
"We did take a loss when (freshman) Cody Miller (Ripley, W.Va.) suffered an injury and will have to sit out the season, so that hurts us some," said Sachs.
At the four, Bethany will look for continued improvement from junior Leslie Addy (Columbia, Md./St. Vincent Pallotti). He started 27 games last year and the athletic 6-5 forward averaged 6.7 points and 4.3 rebounds while showing flashes of dominance. The first man off the BC bench this year will again be senior Brady Pacific (Avonmore, Pa./Kiski). A career 43.2 percent three-point shooter, Pacific settled into his sixth-man role nicely last year and averaged 11.9 markers a game.
Behind them is Ashley, who was at Bethany last year but sat out the season due to injury. He'll be another sharp-shooter in Sachs' arsenal this season and make the Bison very deep at the four.
"In our system, the four is more of a face-up player and we feel we have three pretty good ones," said Sachs. "Leslie plays with a ton of energy, had a good summer in the weight room and we hope he can take that next step. Brady (right) is instant offense off the bench and is right there with James (Barton) as one of our best three-point shooters. And behind those two is Aaron as one of our best shooters as well."
Charged with the assignment of trying to fill in for Alexander at the five spot is 6-6 freshman Nate Weldon (Las Vegas, Nev./Cimarron) and 6-5 junior transfer Kevin Jackson (Baltimore, Md./Walbrook). The duo will provide a nice contrast in styles and Sachs hopes to deploy those skill sets to offset the strengths of opposing teams.
"Our success this season will depend on Nate's and Kevin's development," said Sachs. "Nate is really long, plays with a ton of energy and can block shots. Kevin brings something different in that he's a little more skilled around the basket with a thicker frame."
The higher expectations haven't changed what the program's aims are coming into the season. Since Sachs took the reins to the Bison, he has always stated he wants his teams to win the PAC and not only make the NCAA Tournament, but win games in the national tournament. With the normal rugged conference match-ups, as well as tough non-conference road games on the schedule, Bethany expects to be primed for playoff basketball.
"Our first goal is to win the PAC regular season and host the conference tournament," said Sachs. "And then we want to win the PAC Tournament, and not just play in the NCAA Tournament but win some games. We'll have some tough games to get us ready for the conference schedule. We'll play at Baldwin Wallace, who could be a top team in the OAC, at Carnegie Mellon, who should be better than last year, and at Wittenberg, who played in the Elite Eight last year. So we will have some tests out of conference."
If the Bison are to reach those goals, Sachs says the development of the new post players will be critical, as well as improving on their rebounding and limiting team's shooting percentages. Even with the higher expectations, Sachs says his team is prepared for the challenge ahead.
"We can reach our goals if Nate and Kevin develop through the season, we do a much better job on the boards than we have in our scrimmages and we hold teams under 40 percent shooting," said Sachs. "We should keep our scoring balanced and we don't need 20 points a night from a certain guy.
"Continuing to improve from last year and reaching our goals will be hard to do with the expectations," said Sachs. "We know we are going to get every team's best shot every night. But it's better to be on this side of it than to be the hunter."

"Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:"
King James Version (KJV)
3The heaven for height, and the earth for depth, and the heart of kings is unsearchable. 4Take away the dross from the silver, and there shall come forth a vessel for the finer. 5Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness. 6Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men: 7For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen. 8Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame. 9Debate thy cause with thy neighbour himself; and discover not a secret to another:
Share This Verse:
Bible Verses like Proverbs 25:6
25:6 Stand not - Do not affect frequent and familiar society with greater persons than thyself.

Angelina Jolie Named 'Honorary Dame' for Humanitarian Work by Queen Elizabeth
At The Hague summit on Friday, Queen Elizabeth dubbed Angelina Jolie an honorary dame for her humanitarian work. Jolie has spent most of her adult life helping those less fortunate and has served as a special envoy for the United Nations for many years. According NY Daily News, she received this honor her work combating sexual violence in war zones.
Jolie said, "To receive an honor related to foreign policy means a great deal to me, as it is what I wish to dedicate my working life to." She is so in love with humanitarian work that she has even hinted at giving up her film career.
Click here to read the full article.
Jolie helped host the four-day long summit and afterwards commented, "I believe that one of the outcomes of this summit is that [the subject of rape as a weapon] is now firmly on the top table of international diplomacy. And we will work to ensure that it stays there."
Secretary of State John Kerry added that it was time to "banish sexual violence to the dark ages and the history books."

Stephenie Meyer wrote an amazing Saga, and we all know she isn't done, but we need something to keep our imagination running until the next book!
After Breaking Dawn isn't what I wanted it to be, and it isn't what I expected it to be. This was just a little busy-work for me, something to do when I got bored, but now it's got over 2K reads and I've got over 500 fans. I didn't plan this book, I didn't even write out the plot. I just wrote it as it came, and I'm not really that proud of it. It focuses mostly on Renesmee, Jake and a new character named Rachel. I felt that Edward and Bella were too much a part of Stephine's whole.. thing. I can't write in Bella's POV. I just can't do it. So have a good time reading this, because I'll be writing another one, that IS planned, and that HAS Edward& Bella in it a lot more.
AllyM1989 Jun 21
You don't know how happy you have made me I never thought I'd hear anything from my favorite characters so thank you for creating this book

Stompfest, coordinated by Kappa Iota Theta, Lipscomb's intercultural student organization, and SGA, will be held Tuesday, Nov. 12, at 7 p.m. in Collins Alumni Auditorium. Stompfest is Lipscomb's own version of a traditional step competition between social clubs and student-led groups.
Tickets are $5 in advance and $7 at the door.
The fourth annual Stompfest will include eight student groups: Phi Sigma, Sigma Iota Delta, Lambda Iota Sigma, Kappa Iota Theta, Pi Delta, Phi Nu, Delta Sigma and Delta Omega. Each group will present a five to seven minute show that includes step and creative movement. Judges will give each group a score based on creativity and execution of the choreography.
Stepping, or step-dancing, is a form of percussive dance in which the participant's entire body is used as an instrument to produce complex rhythms and sounds through a mixture of footsteps, spoken word, and hand claps. The step movement started with the African American military as a call and response exercise. Step dancing and it's role in historically black colleges was highlighted in the 2007 film Stomp the Yard.

2013 Beauty Trends: Thanks and TurkeysBlog ▸ Fashion Trends | November 15, 2013
This time of year is about gratitude, and we should be grateful that 2013 was an exciting year for beauty. There was a bumper crop of trends that were chic, wearable and won't be embarrassing 5 years from now.
Here are some 2013 beauty trends that should make us especially thankful:
Emerald Green– Pantone's color of the year was a much-needed shift in perspective. 2012's orange was an infusion of brightness that was missing for some time, but it was a difficult color to pull off for a lot of complexions. Emerald's fusion of both cool and warm was almost universally flattering. Green, smokey eyes looked, soft, edgy, and sophisticated at the same time, and grass colored nails evoke a retro-feel without being too obvious. Emerald managed to be preppy, edgy, feminine, fashion-forward and quirky all at once.
The Long, Textured Bob– Is there a more versatile hairstyle? The look easily transitions from day to night, downtown to uptown, and supermarket to red carpet.
This year's bob worked on a variety of hair textures and will likely become a beauty mainstay. I can't help but think that this particular cut's ease and grace made way for what is sure to be the trend of 2014- The Pixie.
Full Eyebrows – This is the year we learned to love our brows. After two decades of being waxed and plucked into submission, eyebrows were allowed to be full and soft. This look can erase years off of a face, and help create a polished look without a lot of make-up. Of course, a full brow is still a very groomed brow, so upkeep was a must!
Dark Lips – With darker colored lips, elegance is easy. A natural face with a wine colored pout looks effortlessly lady like and on-trend.
Of course, every year can't be all wine and brows! 2013 had its share of turkeys (see what I did there?), as well.
Grey Hair – This is not about beautifully maintained naturally grey hair. 2013 saw young women going intentionally silver. There are very few people who can pull this look off (and they are usually our future beauty professionals!), and it can easily go disastrously unflattering.
Pointy Nails – If a trend makes you question how you are going to do necessary, every day tasks…perhaps it's not the best idea ever. Some looks should be considered "art" and left for appreciation only.
Bare Faces– When this look popped up for Fall 2013, I let out an audible groan. You know why? Bare faces aren't actually bare faces. The look is sculpted by some of the best make-up artists in the business. If you won the genetic lottery with skin texture and bone structure, by all means, forgo the war paint. If you didn't get the right numbers, remember what Dolly Parton said in Steel Magnolias, " There is no such thing as natural beauty."
So, readers, what looks were you thankful for this year? What trends will make you cringe in years to come? What are your predictions for 2014?

Victim of Mormon polygamist keeps faith intact
NO fiction writer, not even one as darkly imaginative as Stephen King, could create a villain creepier than Warren Jeffs. The 57-year-old convicted rapist is the feature miscreant in Rebecca Musser's engrossing memoir of life in a closed society of polygamist Mormons.
Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ and Latter-Day Saints (FLDS) members, living mainly on a patch of desert straddling the Utah-Arizona border, observe every pronouncement he sends to them from inside a Texas penitentiary where he is serving a life sentence.
FLDS members cling to the doctrine of "plural" or "celestial" marriage, a principle discarded by the mainstream Mormon church in 1890. They believe a righteous man can secure a place in the highest level of heaven by taking three or more wives.
In clear, crisp prose, Musser and co-author Bridget Cook take us on a journey from growing up in a household with more than 20 other children and more than one mom, to being a teenage bride for an 85-year-old man, to escape and a life of advocacy for the oppressed and enslaved.
This insider's account includes truly shocking details on how the sect robs girls of their freedom and dignity.
Perhaps the most disturbing content is a partial transcript of an audio recording of Jeffs having sex with a 12-year-old wife while other wives watched. In comparison, the renegade sect leader Roman Grant in the HBO series Big Love was a choir boy.
But Musser and Cook aim for inspiration rather than sensationalism, with themes of faith and empowerment.
Musser was born Rebecca Wall, the fifth of 14 children from her father's second wife. Her father eventually had three wives and 24 children.
Shortly after her 19th birthday in 1995, Musser became the 19th wife of Rulon Jeffs, who was president of the FLDS and Warren's father.
They lived in the Jeffs family's sprawling compound in Hildale, Utah, and Rulon added many more young wives before his death at age 92 in September 2002.
Warren repeatedly admonished Musser that it was her religious duty to obey and please the old church leader in every way, including sexually.
Two months after Rulon's death, Warren as the new FLDS president told Musser she must remarry.
He said her new husband could be him, and the possibility wasn't far-fetched since he had already married some of his father's other young widows.
In response, she quickly planned and executed an escape from Hildale.
She and a young FLDS man named Ben Musser fled to Oregon and married.
They're now divorced but both live in Idaho, where they are parents to a son and daughter.
She has testified against Jeffs and other FLDS men to help bring them to justice for their crimes against girls as young as 12.
She wore red each time she testified against Jeffs because he had banned FLDS members from wearing the colour.
As founder of a non-profit foundation called Claim Red, she is now a voice for victims of human trafficking.
A younger sister, Elissa Wall, co-authored the 2008 book Stolen Innocence about her own experiences in and escape from the FLDS.
Atheists hoping The Witness Wore Red slams faith will be disappointed. Musser rejects leadership by one man, but not religion and spirituality.
It's also notable that the word "cult" appears in the subtitle but nowhere in the memoir itself, as Musser remains respectful and sympathetic toward the community she left — even though much of that community despises her as a traitor.

I have Graves Disease. Developed TED after RAI ablation with retraction of right eyelid and ptosis of the left. Originally thought it was pseudoptosis because of the right eyelid retraction. In August, I had retraction repair on my right eye. The left eyelid was still ptotic so had ptosis repair on February 7th. It is now 9 days after the ptosis repair, most of the swelling seems to be gone yet the eyelid still seems low. Will the eyelid raise anymore or is this likely to be the final height?

It is too early to tell. Your eyelids are still swollen, and you cannot judge the result until the swelling is gone.

9 days is way too ealry to be concerned. You can only know the final result when the swelling goes down completely.

It is still very early to tell where your eyelids will settle out. The left upper eyelid looks slightly swollen compared to the right, which will cause it to droop further. Give it a full 6 weeks to heal and then have it re-evaluated.

Actually your result looks very good for so early out.
It is hard to be patient. A little swelling will make the lid heavy. This can persist for many weeks, even a couple of months.

MarketBeat calculates consensus ratings using the most recent rating from each brokerage that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings. Each stock's consensus rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.Ratings Breakdown: 2 Hold Ratings, 4 Buy RatingsConsensus Rating:Buy (Score: 2.67)Consensus Price Target: $13.20 (8.97% downside) Analysts' Ratings History for Model N (NYSE:MODN) Show: Only the Most Recent Rating From Each Brokerage All Ratings For This Stock DateFirmActionRatingPrice TargetImpact on Share PriceDetails6/29/2017Dougherty & CoInitiated CoverageBuy$17.00Low5/19/2017Chardan CapitalInitiated CoverageBuy -> Buy$16.00Low5/9/2017Craig HallumUpgradeHold -> BuyHigh11/16/2016JMP SecuritiesReiterated RatingHoldN/A11/16/2016Stifel NicolausBoost Price TargetHold$9.00 -> $11.00N/A11/11/2016J P Morgan Chase & CoUpgradeNeutral -> Overweight$12.00N/A8/9/2016Deutsche Bank AGReiterated RatingBuy$18.00 -> $16.00N/A(Data available from 9/25/2015 forward) Earnings Earnings History for Model N (NYSE:MODN)Earnings History by Quarter for Model N (NYSE MODN)DateQuarterConsensus EstimateActual EPSRevenue EstimateActual RevenueRelease LinkConference CallDetails11/6/2017($0.09)N/A8/8/2017Q3 2017($0.27)($0.23)$34.41 million$34.20 millionViewListen5/8/2017Q2 2017($0.35)($0.34)$33.74 million$33.30 millionViewListen2/6/2017Q117($0.17)($0.15)$27.32 million$28.10 millionViewListen11/7/2016Q416($0.26)($0.11)$27.73 million$28.50 millionViewListen8/8/2016Q316($0.20)($0.16)$27.34 million$27.90 millionViewN/A5/9/2016Q216($0.25)($0.21)$25.61 million$26.10 millionViewN/A2/8/2016Q116($0.17)($0.16)$24.10 million$24.50 millionViewN/A11/9/2015Q415($0.08)($0.07)$24.80 million$25.40 millionViewN/A8/10/2015Q315($0.09)($0.08)$23.25 million$23.60 millionViewListen5/11/2015Q215($0.11)($0.08)$22.60 million$22.70 millionViewListen2/9/2015Q115($0.10)($0.07)$21.68 million$22.10 millionViewN/A11/10/2014Q414($0.17)($0.13)$19.90 million$20.30 millionViewN/A8/5/2014Q314($0.15)($0.16)$19.30 million$19.30 millionViewN/A5/1/2014Q214($0.25)($0.08)$20.31 million$20.70 millionViewN/A2/10/2014Q114($0.12)($0.03)$21.18 million$21.60 millionViewN/A11/19/2013Q4$0.03$0.15$27.59 million$27.80 millionViewListen8/8/2013Q3 2013($0.02)$0.14$26.99 million$27.20 millionViewN/A5/7/2013Q2 2013($0.11)($0.01)$23.84 million$24.60 millionViewN/A(Data available from 1/1/2011 forward) Estimates Earnings Estimates for Model N (NYSE:MODN)Current Year EPS Consensus Estimate: $-0.95 EPSNext Year EPS Consensus Estimate: $-0.65 EPS Dividends Dividend History for Model N (NYSE:MODN)No dividend announcements for this company have been tracked by MarketBeat.com Insider Trades Insider Trading and Institutional Ownership History for Model N (NYSE:MODN)Insider Ownership Percentage: 20.40%Institutional Ownership Percentage: 65.87%Insider Trades by Quarter for Model N (NYSE:MODN)Transaction DateInsider NameTitleBuy/SellNumber of SharesAverage Share PriceTotal TransactionDetails9/5/2017Amelia GeneralisSVPSell6,298$13.35$84,078.30 8/15/2017Amelia GeneralisSVPSell3,758$13.30$49,981.40 2/22/2017Mark TisdelCFOBuy3,000$10.55$31,650.00 2/16/2017Charles J RobelDirectorSell66,666$10.57$704,659.62 2/14/2017Russell MellottSVPBuy4,000$10.35$41,400.00 2/10/2017Zack RinatCEOBuy2,905$10.09$29,311.45 11/16/2016Christopher LarsenSVPSell8,523$8.53$72,701.19 8/16/2016Eric CarrasquillaSVPSell4,031$10.61$42,768.91 5/17/2016Mark TisdelCFOSell10,528$10.41$109,596.48 2/18/2016Christopher LarsenSVPSell1,125$9.92$11,160.00 2/18/2016Mark TisdelCFOSell1,560$9.92$15,475.20 11/17/2015Christopher LarsenSVPSell8,506$10.43$88,717.58 5/19/2015Shail KhiyaraSVPSell5,277$11.28$59,524.56 3/6/2015Michael LarocheSVPSell5,747$12.19$70,055.93 11/28/2014Michael LarocheSVPSell5,053$10.34$52,248.02 11/18/2014Christopher LarsenInsiderSell8,506$10.19$86,676.14 8/27/2014Michael LarocheSVPSell1,898$9.33$17,708.34 12/11/2013Zack RinatCEOBuy24,002$8.99$215,777.98 (Data available from 1/1/2013 forward) Headlines Headline Trends for Model N (NYSE:MODN) Latest Headlines for Model N (NYSE:MODN) Source: All Sources Trusted Sources MarketBeat.com Bloomberg MarketWatch Motley Fool NASDAQ Reuters Seeking Alpha The Street The Wall Street Journal Yahoo Finance DateHeadlineModel N, Inc.

Absolutely no weight loss whatsoever!(85 Posts)
So about 4 weeks ago, I decided to cut down on what I eat. I stopped eating all 'junk' foods like crisps, chocolate etc. I'm mostly a vegetarian and am now eating something like half or two thirds of what I previously ate. Yet I'm not losing any weight at all.
I'm 50 and 5ft 7in and weigh 12 stone. I want to return to about 11 st 6lbs, which was my weight that stayed fairly stable after I'd given birth to twins 12 yrs ago. So it's not like I'm trying to lose vast amounts and am quite relaxed about being plump and rounded, on the whole.
Pre pregnancy, I was 10st 7lbs for years and years. I've never been slim but I've always had a reasonable waist and accepted my chunkier lower half.
But now the weight creeps up and up and no amount of cutting down what I eat has any impact at all. Just after each period starts, I lose maybe one pound for about a week or so - and then it just goes back on. I used to get a 4lbs weight loss around that time but it's now as if my body doesn't do the water loss drop and just keeps it all in!
Currently, a typical day's eating is this:
3 cups of tea with a total of about half a cup of milk across those cuppas
2 marmite rice cakes with cottage cheese and a soft boiled egg
2 tablespoons of rice with salad leaves, tomatoes, celery, spring onion, a few pine nuts and a light sprinkle of grated cheese, with a drizzle of olive oil and soya sauce
Half a piece of fried salmon with salad, as above
2 bananas, one apple, a raw carrot
Watered down fresh orange juice
No alcohol (don't drink at all).
I have no idea what calories I'm eating but it's certainly a lot less than I was and yet I'm maintaining my weight. A few years ago, this kind of eating would have meant I lost easily half a stone within a few weeks. Not anymore.
I refuse to cut down so much that I end up feeling light-headed and irritated and feel my body needs a decent amount of food for health reasons. Yet I also think that if I eat less, in fact I sometimes think, even if I eat nothing, I still won't lose weight!
It's almost like my perimenopausal body has decided to cling on for dear life to all the weight it can accumulate and just won't budge! I'm fairly active but don't have any extra time for formal exercise. I swim and am constantly rushing around up and downstairs and heavy lifting, clearing up etc etc. So if I eat any less than the above, I get very weak and dizzy and don't feel healthy.
Do I just accept that at 50, I'm permanently a different weight and shape forever - or is there a sensible, healthy way of losing about half a stone and staying there?
You can look online and try and find your tdee (the total energy you theoretically expend in a day) and that will give you an idea of how much you need to eat to lose some weight.
Thanks for the advice. I've just looked up my TDEE and it says 1897 calories. So that presumably means that eating less than this should mean I lose weight.
Is the above typical day's food intake really 1897 calories? I just don't know how many calories there are in different foods/meals but I do know that what I'm eating is considered a very restrictive diet to many.
Can anyone else on here, who is very well versed in calorie counting, tell me if my typical day's intake, above, adds up to 1897 calories?
Try downloading myfitnesspal.
I have now lost over 6 stone using it.
I was so unaware what calories was in the things I was eating.
I ate lots if fruit and veg. In fact fairly healthy foods.
Portion control was way out.
Amount if cheese and carbs was way out.
Hidden calories. As in bought yougurts ( only eat low fat natural now. Have you seen the sugar in ordinary ones!)
It has really chaned how I eat
Exercise might help. Do you do much? Swimming and housework don't count! Not much anyway
Blag I'm close in age to you and have the same problem. I recently completed some medical diet research at imperial where they discovered that as i restricted my calorie intake so my metabolic rate went down to match the calorie intake. Metabolic rate is supposed to adjust by up to 10% when dieting, but mine dropped by over 30%.
Google enhanced metabolic efficiency and you'll find my MN thread moaning about it. And when I exercise I end up almost in hibernation afterwards as my body tries to keep the balance. Even my temperature drops significantly when I diet. And I can't adjust metabolic rate myself - even weightlifting (the most metabolically affecting activity) adds only 3% to your rate. Thyroid is working perfectly - in fact my whole body is working in beautiful harmony to maintain my weight no matter what I do. Have tried normal diet levels, crash diets, even 'normal' 1.800 calorie eating, all the same result (if anything, am more active and healthy at 1,800 but mentally i then think im 'not trying' in terms of addressing my size, which is not a good space to be in). I've been low carbing with no simple carbs at all for close to a decade, now. Zilch effect of course.
I feel as if people like us should be the Guinea pigs for researchers to identify some of the triggers to what are pretty spectacular hormone defence actions, but there is fuck all research going that I can find.
It's going to be very slow given your age.
Did you weigh yourself at the start? Have you lost nothing at all?
I'll do a detailed calorie count of your day's intake in a mo, but the things that jump out at me are
2 bananas. TWO!!!! Depends on size, but probably over 100 calories each, and have the most sugar of all fruits.
Sprinkle of grated cheese - how much exactly? Cheese calories can mount up all too quickly.
Fried salmon - could you grill it or steam it instead? Also, white fish will be lower in cals.
Pine nuts - how many? Again, very dense in calories, so it's easy to go overboard on nuts and seeds.
I'm 53 and have lost 25kg in the last 11 months using MFP and eating around 1700 cals/day.
Currently going through menopause, doing no exercise.
You need to start weighing/measuring everything that you eat and recording it.
Next time you are at the doctors you could ask for a thyroid test. The thyroid can influence your metabolism, making it hard to lose weight. I am hypothyroid, meaning low or no hormone and have to take a supplement. I'm just fascinated by how whatever I eat my weight stays the same (far too much) as if its beyond my control!
Isatdownandwept, sorry, I only read your post after. It is fascinating, and along the same lines as mine!
actually, swimming and housework are exercise. Any movement is exercise and uses calories.
just not as much as we would like. :-(
That's around 2,000 calories there OP - so you'd need to reduce that by 500 or so to start dropping pounds.
I know its really frustrating when this happens.
Unfortunately when you get older its harder to lose weight yet its so easy to put on!
What your eating sounds absolutely fine, very healthy. If your not losing weight on it, I would suggest researching the calories like the others suggested. Don't make it all about calories though, its easy to become obsessed.
A lot of foods you presume are low calorie - actually aren't. You will be surprised by what you find.
I would suggest have a decent sized breakfast, something like porridge or weetabix. Something thats going to keep you going for most of the morning. If you have this with skimmed milk or even better, soya then its not going to be any more than 300 cal? I'm just guessing, may be a little more. Bottom line is, its low cal anddd will keep you full.
Then for lunch again have something decent and something thats going to keep you going until dinner. For dinner I would fill most your plate up with veg - filling and healthy. With perhaps some fish or lean meat :-)
If you fancy desert then perhaps some yogurt and blueberries?
Try to stick to healthy, filling low calorie meals. You need to keep your metabolism up if you want to lose weight.
Combine that will swimming twice a week and I'm sure you will see a difference!
Don't get disheartened if your don't see a result straight away. Every body is different, I personally do not lose weight instantly - it comes of gradually. But afterall, thats the most healthiest way!
This is my typical day to day eating. I don't have any chocolate, crisps. biscuits, takeway, tea, coffee, fizzy drinks. Im very strict due to how I used to be and its now just become a part of my lifestyle. Of course I will occassionally treat myself to some haribo (my weakness!)
Try not to think of it as a 'diet' as it then becomes some sort of punishment and short term thing. Try to introduce better diet and exercise and see it as a lifestyle change.
Sorry I always get carried away on these topics!
Don't fry the salmon. It is an oily fish that is delicious even when steamed (cooked over slow fire in a bit of water).
Bananas are said to be about 100 kCal but that is for a 100 g banana. I just weighed the smallest banana in my kitchen and found that it is 130 g. Two of my larger bananas could easily add 360 kCal to your daily intake. Have some blueberries or an apple instead.
Don't grate cheese on your salad and measure the olive oil you are "drizzling". You might be surprised how much it is.
And exercise! It will not only spend the calories but it will increase your metabolism and you will feel great, as well.
My advice to you is this. Stop trying to lose weight and start focusing on doing healthy things, only healthy behaviours can change your body - culling calories can not be considered a healthy behaviour.
The problem with counting calories is that it makes you neurotic and can end with eating disorders; counting calories may work in the short term but you down regulate your metabolism and unless you are able to stay on low calories for the rest of your life you will always put the weight back on.
If you focus on eating healthy, whole foods your body will find its best version naturally, without you having to constantly think about how much you are eating.
Counting calories doesn't make you neurotic A good dietitian prepared a balanced low-calorie diet for me some years ago. I lost heaps of weight with it and kept it off. Nobody got neurotic as a result.
Sorry, but "2 bananas. TWO!!!!" does sound a bit neurotic. Its a banana, not crack laced chocolate filled doughnuts.
OP's posted daily diet won't add up to 2000cals unless they are enormous portions. Like HUGE.
Hi CoteDazur,
My comment wasn't directed at you, it was to the original poster. I apologise if you felt it was - 5% of people do have success with long term calorie restriction, that would make an awful lot of people, millions in fact, but it does mean that 95% of people are not.
For most, calorie counting simply ends with a down regulated metabolism followed by binge eating from feeling restricted, this is well documented.
Eating healthy foods, like bananas, allows the appetite to self regulate as the neuroendocrine system is not interfered with.
The problem most of us experience is based on the consumption of refined, processed and sugary foods; eating less of them is not the answer.
The food industry has way to much to lose if this message ever became mainstream - so it won't. I just hope more people begin to understand how to look after their bodies better.
This is a public forum. I don't have to feel your comments are aimed at me to answer them.
"The problem with counting calories is that it makes you neurotic" is a silly statement that is demonstrably wrong. If you have any proof for this allegation that everyone who has ever counted calories ended up with a mental disorder, please share. If not, accept that you were wrong and move on.
Your concerns about calorie restriction makes you sound like you think "restriction" can only mean severe restriction.
With moderate restriction, there is no binging because you are not hungry and you don't feel "restricted". And there is also no depressed metabolism, especially if you start to exercise.
" I just weighed the smallest banana in my kitchen and found that it is 130 g. Two of my larger bananas could easily add 360 kCal to your daily intake"
If you need evidence of the problems caused by calorie counting please visit any number of eating disorder charities and websites that are available on the web.
Some people have eating disorders following diets and not only calorie-counting. That doesn't mean everyone who follows a calorie restriction diet will be neurotic - a ridiculous claim.
A friend of mine followed the Ducan diet and ended up with a life-threatening colon infection & condition. Am I saying "Ducan dieters end up with colon problems"?
I don't go around counting calories, by the way. I have lost my weight, kept it off for years, and now can figure out how much to eat of what without calculating the calories.
"5% of people do have success with long term calorie restriction, that would make an awful lot of people, millions in fact, but it does mean that 95% of people are not."
"The problem with counting calories is that it makes you neurotic and CAN end with eating disorders"
If you eat healthy, whole foods your body will self regulate; nobody needs to count calories.
The digestive system, the endocrine system and the immune system are all compromised in a calorie deficit. Thyroid function also gets down regulated - I doubt anybody wants this.
When you eat whole foods that can be digested and absorbed correctly your body will up regulate leptin, the hunger hormone, telling you when you are full - it will also improve thyroid function and become anabolic - in a restricted state the body is catabolic - hence you will lose muscle.
Eating processed foods in smaller quantities will do nothing but make you a smaller version of yourself temporarily; if you desire long term change to all health processes(not just weight loss) this is a dreadful method of achieving it.
The key to sustained weight loss is to maintain strong metabolic processes by eating healthy, whole foods.
I profoundly disagree with your comments suggesting limiting olive oil - a perfectly healthy product - and bananas. I find them to not only be unhelpful, but potentially detrimental to a persons health.
You speak from the experience of having dealt with your own body. I speak from the experience of having dealt with almost 1000 people that have suffered significant emotional damage as well as metabolic damage from following diets - all unnecessary damage driven by the profit seeking requirements of the commercial dieting industry, a close relative of the food industry.
Nobody is talking about eating processed foods and body doesn't "self-regulate" weight. If you eat lots more and move lots less, you put on weight. There is no magic involved.
I don't know what your claim to authority on this subject is, but if you speak to any proper dietician with a real education and professional experience, you will see that they recommend using no more than several spoons of olive oil in a day.
Most foods are good for us but when we are trying to lose weight, we need to be careful with how much we eat of them. There is no dilemma there.
I would be interested to see where that 5% figure comes from, and also what the equivalent is for low-carb diets is. Both in the long term of many years, of course.
It is entirely possible to lose weight on any of these diets. The problem is keeping it up - i.e. not returning to your old ways once you lose a bit of weight. You need to make your "diet" a way of life, which means it has to be sustainable in the long term.
Diets based on severe calorie restriction are not sustainable in the long term. A good dietician will listen to what you like to eat at each meal, then make small changes to it, so that you eat what you like and it will be sustainable in the long term.
If you can do a a diet with no complex carbohydrates all your life, knock yourself out with it. Make sure you get enough B Vitamins, though.
