I do think there are different kinds of diets, and I am not referring to keto, the cabbage soup diet, or raw foods. Instead I like to look at diets as therapeutic, experimental, or habitual. The Institute for the Psychology of Eating has described a similar breakdown. There is a good chance in the course of working with me you might try all three.
Therapeutic diets are used as part of a treatment for a medical condition. It could require increasing or decreasing certain foods or nutrients, changing the consistency of food, or using a different pattern of eating. For example, following oral surgery you may be required to consume soft, liquid, or pureed foods until your mouth heals. Or if you have iron deficient anemia you may focus on increasing your intake of iron rich foods. For sodium sensitive individuals with high blood pressure a therapeutic diet could be one that reduces in the intake of salt. Therapeutic diets could be used for a limited amount of time or it could become a part of a habitual diet.
An experimental diet is something that is done for a limited amount of time in an effort to learn or gain information. The experimental diet I use most frequently with clients in an elimination diet. The idea is to remove several foods that could be problematic for a period of time. Eliminating foods and then carefully re-introducing them one at a time can help us determine if food is causing things like brain fog, fatigue, joint pain, or skin issues. Again, like therapeutic diets, this information can be used to inform the habitual diet.
A habitual diet is how you eat the majority of the time. All of us have a habitual diet and this diet can change over time. It can evolve as you try new foods that you decide to eat more regularly. It can also change based on what you learn during an experimental diet or based on needs as outlined in a therapeutic diet. Habitual diets can also change based on food availability and the seasons. It is natural to want to eat more fruits and raw vegetables in the summer when they are plentiful and the weather is warm. My goal for clients is to find a habitual diet that supports their healthiest and happiest self. The exact make up of this diet can vary from person to person. Sometimes it takes healing with a therapeutic diet or eliminating some foods in an experimental diet to find the mix that works best for each individual.

The Ministry of Health in Malawi has guidelines for paediatric HIV testing and counselling which specifically tackle issues of child disclosure. The guidelines encourage gradual disclosure where information is given to the child piece by piece so as to not overwhelm the child. The guidelines advise that "disclosure to a child should be regarded as a process not an event" (Guidelines for Paediatric HIV Testing and Counselling, 2007).
Sada was tested during a mobile clinic exercise conducted by the area's Health Surveillance Assistants (HSAs). Sada's grandmother, Estele Namphinda, took Sada and his younger brother Chifundo to the mobile clinic, where HIV tests were conducted on both children. Sada had an HIV positive result while Chifundo tested negative.
"The HSA did not offer appropriate counselling when the result was given, and Sada did not take this information well; he resorted to violence," explains Estele. "He beat me on the way home and when we arrived, he refused to enter the hut saying he would rather sleep outside because he had nothing to fear for he was already dead. I tried to comfort him with food but he threw it away."
Days turned to months, and Sada's anger did not subdue. He slept in the house but refused to go to the health facility where he had been referred for ART initiation. In September 2017, Sada started to get sick. He developed sores and mumps and experienced frequent diarrhea. Worried about her grandson's state, Estele reached out to the area's Community Resource Person (CRP), Affack Kasenda, for assistance that same month. Affack visited the household repeatedly and tried to reason with Sada explaining that the medication prescribed to him would make him better but Sada still refused to reason with the CRP.
In November, with consent from Estele, Affack escalated Sada's case to his supervisor, Lazarus Mukhongo, a Community Engagement Facilitator (CEF) based at Namandanje Health Center. Lazarus and his colleague McGoffrey Golomani visited the Namphinda household the following day.
"The aim of our first visit was to build rapport with the child and the grandmother so that we get to know each other," shared Lazarus. "We brought a ball with us and played football with Sada. We later sat down with him and illustrated how the security of a country works and what would be the repercussions if it were compromised. This seemed to excite Sada, so we compared this with the immunity of a human being. However, we did not tell him that we knew his HIV status."
During the next visit Sada looked so relaxed. They played and talked and later the two CEFs gradually made their intentions clear. This time they talked about Sada's immunity and how much danger he was putting himself in by not taking medication. They told him that they would arrange for him to go to the hospital and start taking medication. This worked and finally, on 4th December 2017, 9 months after Sada's positive HIV diagnosis, he was placed on ART.
The first weeks of taking medication were not a pleasant experience for Sada. He experienced nausea and was frequently vomiting. He also felt dizzy which forced him to stop going to school. Disappointed in the turn of events, Sada refused to take more medication. Estelle informed CEF Lazarus, who referred Sada to the facility once more and his medication was changed. Sada received more counselling and he continued with his treatment. The nausea and dizziness and recurring diarrhea stopped, and his sores began to heal. A month later, Sada regained his health.
"Before I started taking the medication, I was getting sick frequently and as such, I missed school a lot. I couldn't even play with my friends and this made me sad, but now because of my new medication, I play a lot," testified Sada, who is also now a member of the catchment area's teen club – a support group for children ages 10 -18.
"I make sure Sada doesn't miss his ART appointments. Since the hospital is far and Sada's grandmother is old, I pick Sada up on my bicycle and take him to the health facility for checkups and medication. I also take him to the teen club every month," shared CRP Affack Kasenda.
"Sada is now a healthy boy. He can now do everything a boy of his age is capable of doing. He no longer gives me problems when it is time to take his medication. In fact, I do not even remind him," an overjoyed Estele shares.
"I put the medication in two different plastic bags and told him the blue one is for the morning and the black one for the evening. He takes them without being reminded. Actually, Sada has become an advocate among his peers at the teen club as he encourages them to go to the hospital whenever they feel sick so that they remain healthy and do not miss classes".

The purpose of Spinal Mobility is to teach. We want to teach clinicians and students about novel interventions available to treat and support people with neurologically based disability during the rehabilitative and post-rehabilitative phases of their lives. We are similarly committed to teaching people with these disabilities how to promote and progress their own health through exercise.
Taught by clinicians who are experts in using the Spinal Mobility technique and assisted by model demonstrators, this class gives attendees an opportunity to learn hands-on skills when using the technique with people with different body types and levels ofinjuries. The class consists of 3 levels with certification upon completion of each of them. The Workshop is given in the Spring and Fall but it may also be hosted by any facility at any time. CEUs in PT are awarded for this class.
A demanding, free 8 week boot camp for people with Spinal Cord Injury that meets for 4 hours, once a week. During the class, participants learn about how to exercise and how to set up an exercise space in their homes. It is staffed by volunteering clinicians and students allowing all the participants to share their knowledge about exercise and rehabilitation while enabling the Volunteers to practice the Spinal Mobility technique and review other fitness activities pertinent to this population. The class is held in the Spring and in the Fall.
This one hour lecture is presented to clinicians in their facility as a lunch time in-service or a brown-bag meeting. It is presented by an instructor with the assistance of a model-demonstrator; someone with SCI or other trunk weakness limitation.

Brown Script Eyeshadow MAC Mac Cosmetics review Swatch
Mac Eyeshadow Brown ScriptApril 29, 2013

Mac Brown Script is my very first Mac eyeshadow, and the only one that I currently own.
Brown Script is from the permanent collection. It is a Reddish brown color, it's almost deep enough to be a chocolate brown, but it has a strong red undertone that pulls it to being close to the color of a brick. This is a great color for girls with warm skin tones, like myself.
Also, this is a matte, which makes it even better.
It has great pigmentation, wearability and blendability.
Isn't it pretty?!
Here is a swatch without a base or primer underneath.
I'm sorry it's kind of blurry, but it was rainy outside so no natural light, and my camera didn't want to pick the color up at all.
I use this as a crease color fairly often, and it works with the colors in the Naked palette very nicely.
Overall, I definitely recommend this eyeshadow.
It's a great color with amazing pigmentation.
You can pick this up at a Mac counter or from Maccosmetics.com for $15.
I hope you guys enjoyed this post!
Thanks for reading.

Former Talent Manager Robert Baker Charged With Capital Murder
CHATSWORTH, Calif.—Known in adult industry circles as the onetime manager of retired porn luminaries Dee and Carmen Luvana—the latter of whom held exclusive contracts during her tenure with both New Sensations and Adam & Eve Pictures—55-year-old Robert Baker was arrested and charged last week with the January murder of high-profile hairstylist Fabio Sementilli in his Woodland Hills home. The Los Angeles Times reports that Baker was arrested Wednesday along with the victim's wife, 45-year-old Monica Sementilli, who according to LAPD Robbery Homicide Capt. William Hayes was "involved in an intimate relationship for a year and a half" with Baker. The pair was charged Friday with capital murder with a special circumstance of murder for financial gain, the Times detailed, as resulting from a months-long investigation that led detectives to determine the murder was carried out with the motive of collecting a $1.6 million life insurance payout. Fabio Sementilli, who was also 45, was found stabbed to death January 23 on the patio of his home. The murder was initially thought to have been committed as part of a home-invasion robbery. Two men were seen jogging up to the house prior to the killing, and were captured afterward by a surveillance camera five miles away getting out of and abandoning the victim's Porsche. DNA matching Baker's was found at the crime scene and in the vehicle, turning up in the database due to a 1993 conviction against him for "lewd and lascivious conduct with a minor," which placed him permanently on the books as a registered sex offender. The second man suspected in the crime has not yet been identified and remains at large. Monica Sementilli is not thought to have been present during her husband's actual killing; however, she faces the charge of taking direct part in plotting it. She and Baker, who reportedly met at LA Fitness in Woodland Hills, are being held without bail. If convicted, they would be eligible for the death penalty.

text: Winter is hard in general, especially here in the midwest! Not only are days darker, but they can be soooo much more cold. We're talking the negative numbers and winds that cut through your skin like ninja swords would! So, you learn pretty quickly to take advantage of "warm" days…and by that, I mean in the 30's. Since most of my time these days is spent indoors doing homework or just hiding from the cold—and not with my camera in my hands—I will occasionally grab it and text a few friends to get some fresh air and laughter outside. Snow or no snow, as long as the light is great I don't mind a little bit of cold. Neither did Emily and Jenna! Thanks, ladies!

How to Shill Your Way to Moderate Success
Listen, we all want to be a big star. Go on Instagram and what do you see? A flood of people fighting for attention with their fingers crossed hoping that someday they will be the .001% to be hand picked by God and wake up one morning in an enormous Beverly Hills mansion. Some keep trying until they end up on the streets, insane with delusion, while others give up and fall into the routine of telling themselves every morning at 4 AM to go to their job at the hip new coffee joint in the city that they are perfectly happy working for minimum wage. Maybe someday they will become a manager and achieve a small piece of that pie we all want so bad. Everyone wants to see big numbers when they check their bank balance and buy nice cars to post pictures of on Facebook. Heck, it's the American Dream! But how in the world do you achieve something like that these days when there is so much competition in the job market and so many people are struggling to make ends meet?

I'm not sure if I've posted about it here before, but for some time now I've been getting my hands dirty with the Mozilla Firebird source code. I've successfully built a private Firebird build and have tweaked the code a bit locally on my home computer. However, I've yet to contribute any patches to any of the currently open and unresolved Firebird bugs in Mozilla's Bugzilla.
Just recently a semi-major change was introduced to the way Firebird is built using GCC and MinGW tools. Since then, I've had no luck at all trying to build the 'bird, and I've described my problem in detail over at the Firebird Builds forum at MozillaZine. Turns out other people are running into the same problem and there's even been a bug filed.
Part of the overall problem lied in the fact that there was no Win32 version of the Firebird Tinderbox to look at over the course of the day/week to see if the current source was building as it should. It has since been brought back to life, but rather ironically, it has been green (meaning its building fine) for quite some time.
I have been hoping for quite a while that the promised move from SeaMonkey (code that stems all the way back to the scary Netscape Navigator days) to Firebird (formerly known as "Phoenix") would happen sooner than later, but it's turned out that the latter has been the case, hands down.
Hopefully as the release of Firebird 0.8 nears (0.7 is already on its way) the Firebird codebase will become more important and be more heavily guarded. Until then, us lowly code-tinkerers will have to deal with the trial-and-error approach to building and "hacking" what may someday be the de-facto browser of choice for everyone.

This is a great pie and my family love it when I cook this. The minced beef has a lovely savoury flavour which is generally things you have in the cupboard. I would suggest to you to grow a few herbs in the garden, like bay and rosemary, therefore it's always on hand and makes a huge difference to your cooking rather than buying it from the supermarket.
This is a comforting dinner, lovely served with creamy mash potatoes, vegetables and lashing of gravy, but that's just how we like it.
You will need:
750g steak mince
1 large onion, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
2 celery sticks, chopped
2 bay leaves
1 large rosemary sprig, washed and chopped fairly fine.
1 teaspoon English mustard
1 teaspoon of marmite
1 teaspoon of curry powder (ensure its gf)
2 tsp of tomato purée
2 tsp of gluten free plain flour
Salt and pepper to taste
For the gluten free pastry:
250g gluten free plain flour, plus extra for dusting
1/2 tsp xanthum gum
1/2 tsp salt
180g margarine or butter at room temperature (can use dairy free)
75ml ice cold water
1 egg
First we will make the gluten free pastry.
1. Combine the flour, xanthum gum and salt in a bowl, and the margarine or butter and rub into breadcrumbs.
2. Make a well in the centre and add the ice cold water and knead for a moment. Make a ball and wrap in cling film and place in the refrigerator to chill for 30 mins.
3. Preheat the oven to 180'fan 200′ non fan
4. Now while the pastry is chilling we will make the beef filling. Saute the onion in some sunflower oil in a large pan, add the chopped carrots and celery sticks. After a few minutes add the minced beef and add the rosemary and bay leaves. Once this has browned off add the Worcestershire sauce, mustard, curry powder, tomato purée, marmite and gluten free flour, give it a stir through. Add your beef stock and allow to simmer for 30 minutes.
5. Transfer the cooked beef mixture to a pie dish and allow to cook slightly.
6. Take the pastry from the fridge and unwrap it and dust your surface with some gluten free flour. Using a small dusting of flour on a rolling pin and on top of the pastry roll it out so its a bit bigger than your pie dish. It can have a tendency to stick and crack if you don't use the flour.
7. Put the pastry over the top of the pie, and cut the excess off the sides,. Crimp the edges with your fingers or use a fork, then put a little hole in the centre to allow for steam to escape. If you have any excess pastry you can use this to decorate. Crack an egg and put an egg wash over the top. Place in the oven on a bottom shelf for 40 minutes or until golden brown.

Eating late at night a bad habit: Study
How many of you have the habit of eating late at night? If such a question is asked to us, most of us will lift our hand in approval. We may have many reasons to justify our habit. If your lifestyle demands such a habit, then it will be difficult for you to find the wrong side of it. But, actually, it is very necessary to understand what this habit does in our body.
A study finds that those who eat their dinner late at night are more likely to face the health issue of obesity than those who consume it early. The study justifies their findings with the help of a fact that the calories we intake at late night are less likely to transform into energy and are more likely to be stored in our body as fat.
Now, what do you say? Do you think that your habit needs an urgent relook?
Take a decision wisely! Stay Healthy! Health is Wealth!!!

There were plenty of buzzer-beaters this year in the NBA and in college basketball, but this one in 2008 might top them all.
The Geneseo Blue Knights took on Oswego State on Dec. 2 and after the lead changed hands twice in just a few seconds, it was a final desperation heave that makes this game-winner unique.
Scott Morton, who finished with 32 points, was the player responsible for the initial go-ahead 3-pointer and also for the unbelievable buzzer-beater to win the game.
That kind of shot isn't even something that would be attempted in a game of H-O-R-S-E, let alone in an actual game. And because of that, the "Morton Miracle" lives on.

Pevensey Beach Cottage
Holiday cottages Pevensey Bay are all about the glorious sea views…
Beach Cottage is one of the best located holiday cottages Pevensey Bay – with a private garden leading directly onto the beach. Take in the spectacular views from the sofa, private terrace and garden and watch the boats pass by and feel transported to another, tranquil world.
This holiday cottage provides cosy and traditional accommodation right by the sea, with two double bedrooms providing a wonderful base for up to four people, plus the option of a third bunk bedroom for larger families (supplement applies). Bookable as a two-bedroom or three bedroom cottage with a £200 supplement, this flexible property can suit different sized groups looking for holiday cottages Pevensey Bay.
Beach Cottage is reached by a flight of 18 steps from the road to the front door which leads into the well-equipped kitchen, with oven, hob, a fridge-freezer, dishwasher, toaster, kettle and washer-dryer and all the utensils you'll need for a holiday on the beach.
Walking through to the open-plan lounge-diner you will be inevitably drawn towards the views, through the floor-to-ceiling patio doors. There is a selection of comfy seating, a dining table which seats up to six and multi-channel TV.
Outside, there is a large terrace to the front of the property with sun loungers, but the real draw is the rear garden, which has patio area and an enclosed shingle space which leads straight onto the beach. Beach lovers could not be closer to the sea.
The main two bedrooms each have double beds, making this beach cottage ideal accommodation for four adults and small families. The third bunk bedroom will be locked off unless required for a larger group, which means we can offer the property at two bedroom rates for smaller groups, but it is suitable for larger families too. The rates loaded on our website are for two bedrooms/maximum four guests, and for larger families that need the third bedroom a £200 per week supplement applies.
The nautically-themed family bathroom provides a bath with shower over. The central heating is fully controllable, so this beach cottage is toasty warm throughout the cooler months – making this an excellent choice for an out-of-season escape as well as the perfect summer destination.
Dog friendly beach holidays – holiday lettings Pevensey Bay
WiFi, towels and linen are provided (you will just need to bring your own beach towels) and there is parking for a car at the front of the property and additional spaces free on-street outside. And if you're looking for dog friendly beach holidays, a well behaved adult and neutered / spayed dog would also be considered (a £50 supplement applies), so there is no need to feel guilty about leaving four-legged friends back home.
Assuming that you can be drawn away from your garden and the beach at some point, Pevensey high street is just a few minutes walk away with cafes, shops and pubs. As well as the wonderful beach walks ramblers should also head for Beachy Head and the Seven Sisters within the South Downs National Park, a short drive or bus trip away.
The Pevensey area is fill of historic treats given that William the Conqueror landed here in 1066 and changed the course of English history, such as Pevensey and Herstmonceux Castles.
From Pevensey, it's a very short 10 minute drive to Bexhill, where you can find the De La Warr contemporary art gallery and performance centre, with its chic cafe overlooking the sea.

Great location right on the beach - just walk out the back door and straight on to the pebble beach. Great location for all local attractions - in 3 days we did Eastbourne, Hastings (including the excellent 1066 English Heritage site), Camber Sands, Lewes and Bodiam Castle. Good car parking available off road.
We had a great week here, it's spacious, comfortable and well-equipped. Carl and Sharon were friendly and helpful. What a luxury to step straight out onto the public beach from the big patio! Would love to return.
Nice, clean and cosy Cottage; beach very good for swimming!
Wonderful little find. What a wonderful relaxing little cottage! Spacious and bright and a home from home. Good size rooms and love the patio leading onto the back garden which felt like my own personal beach. Perfect location on the beach too! Near enough to walk into town if you are not too relaxed staying at the cottage to move ;-) I would highly recommend this property for couples, families and dog owners!

Game Ready leading technologies are designed to get people back to being their best after injury or surgery. Thousands of patients, athletes, athletic trainers, and pro teams, as well as the world's foremost orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine doctors and physical therapists, choose Game Ready.
Check out some recent testimonials from celebrity users:
Kesha, Singer/Songwriter
Kesha, singer, songwriter, rapper, and actress, used Game Ready after her recent ACL surgery:
"The Game Ready Unit has been a life changer with me and my knee surgery. I have used the machine every single day since my surgery for the last 7 weeks and I can't imagine having done this without it. The relief it has brought to the pain in magical. ACL surgery is not a joke but the Game Ready machine made the recovery bearable and for that I am grateful."
Kyle Kuzma, forward for the Los Angeles Lakers
Named NBA Rookie of the Month for October and November, he was the first NBA rookie in history to reach 1,000 points, 400 rebounds, and 130 three-pointers. As a professional athlete, Kyle is an avid Game Ready user:
"The NBA season can take a toll on me physically so taking care of my body is a priority. Our schedules can get crazy. A day's work for me can include a lift, practice, shooting session, warm-up, game, media, the list goes on. What I do for my body in between all of the training, practice, and games is critical for me. That's why I love Game Ready. It helps me be able to keep my body feeling right and perform to the best of my ability every day.
I've worked hard at my craft to get to where I'm at in my basketball career and that includes taking care of my body and being diligent with using my Game Ready. Game Ready makes it easy. After a long day when I'm mentally and physically exhausted, all I have to do is put ice and water in it and then set the temperature and pressure level. The NBA's intensity level and physicality is so high that everyone is playing with some bumps and bruises. I've sprained my ankles a few times during this season and using the Game Ready on my ankle has made the healing process so much quicker. At the end of the day, all I want is to perform to the best of my abilities on the court every night and Game Ready helps me out in a major way."
Macklemore, Rapper/Songwriter
"The Game Ready was crucial to my recovery. Trying to bounce back from knee surgery at the same time as being out on tour would have been impossible without it. The compression?! The cold?! Come on baby, we on the road to recover, and it's looking good!"

Glen Dickson at TVNewsCheck conducted an in-depth interview with Discovery Chief Technology Officer John Honeycutt. In the interview, Glen dives in deep with John on how he has moved Discovery to the cutting edge of media ingest and distribution by blending traditional supply-chain architecture with the latest in IP and cloud technologies. He also discusses how through this strategy Discovery has disrupted and revolutionized the media and entertainment industry to the benefit of Discovery and consumers. You can read the full interview with John Honeycutt here.
DivvyCloud is proud to have been core to Discovery's cloud strategy. DivvyCloud's importance to this strategy was recognized in 2016 when Discovery Communications Ventures invested in DivvyCloud. Discovery decided to invest in DivvyCloud after being an enterprise customer for over a year. At the time of the investment, John Honeycutt said, "Given the value that DivvyCloud has delivered to Discovery in our adoption of the cloud, we see a real potential for growth that we're excited to be a part of."
The self-service and dynamic nature of cloud infrastructure creates challenges for risk and compliance professionals who protect their organization with security and governance controls. Tools and controls that worked well for security and compliance in the traditional datacenter do not translate to the public cloud. Customers like Discovery run DivvyCloud's software to achieve continuous security governance in cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP, and Alibaba).
First, our software performs real-time, continuous discovery of infrastructure resources allowing customers to identify risks and threats. Second, customers can implement out-of-the-box or custom cloud-native policy guardrails that identify and alert on violations. Third, we automate the enforcement and remediation of these policies.
We mitigate risk by providing virtual guardrails for customers embracing the dynamic, self-service nature of public cloud infrastructure. In doing so, DivvyCloud empowers our customers, like Discovery, to fully embrace the corporate innovation that use of cloud technologies can drive.

Boeing halts test flights of new plane over engine issue
- by Constance Griffith
- in Money
- — May 12, 2017
The agreement also includes purchase rights for four additional 737 MAX 9s and a lease agreement for eight more airplanes from Air Lease Corporation.
A team of experts testing the Boeing 737 Max brought the new aircraft to one of the coldest passenger airports in the world to evaluate the machine in harsh conditions.
CFM builds the LEAP engines for the latest generation of Boeing 737 aircraft and offers them for Airbus's competing A320neo model in competition with Pratt & Whitney UTX.N .
The company had suspended test flights of the new 737 MAX 8 (737-8) for several days following the discovery of cracks in a section of the CFM Leap-1B engines that power the new plane. Details are still light at this stage, and although Boeing has reportedly stated that first deliveries remain on track, investors are acutely focused on 737 MAX ramp risk - and the impact on cash. It will use the 737 MAX 9s, equipped with auxiliary fuel tanks, to launch flights between Europe and the United States east coast.
The news sent Boeing shares down almost 4 per cent, although they recovered partly to close at US$183.18, down $2.31, or 1.3 per cent.
Stroman, Goins help Jays post 4-2 win over Indians
Jason Kipnis is hitting.333 (3-for-9) with one homer and two RBIs against him. "They outplayed us today, so they deserved to win". According to the Swedish website Expressen , Leafs prospect Pierre Engvall has signed a two-year deal with HV-71 of the SHL.
Boeing says it has not experienced any issues with the low-pressure turbine discs during on-ground testing and test flights of the new plane.
The Max is created to be a more fuel-efficient version of the workhorse 737, Boeing's most popular commercial plane.
The deal is valued around $22 billion, with the first Max 737 planes to be delivered to SpiceJet in 2018. Southwest Airlines expects to begin using the plane later this year. Safran received the disc from a supplier but there are other suppliers of that part so production of the engine was continuing, Kennedy said. Although she would not identify the supplier of the problem discs, she noted that they came from the first disc supplier Safran used.
Rick Kennedy, a spokesman for GE, said about 30 CFM International engines will be inspected at sites in the USA and France.
Jewell stressed that there have been no problems related to the part in the more than 2,000 hours of test flights for the 737 Max.

During your baby's first week of life, you and your growing family will be going through lots of adjustments and will no doubt be tired. But this is an important time to have your baby professionally photographed. There is nothing quite like the first few weeks of your baby's life. Your child will never again change so quickly, those tiny details and newborn qualities will disappear seemingly overnight.
A baby's first two weeks of life pass by rapidly. They may be peeling, and wrinkly, and their umbilical cord is still attached, but this time is quickly over and you will want to remember this precious newborn stage forever.
I recommend parents book a newborn session within baby's first 10 days, the earlier the better. Newborn babies are very sleepy which is ideal for capturing that curled up position like they had in the womb.
Truthfully, Mum and Dad are perfectly able to take pictures of their little bundle of joy, but nothing can compare to having a professional photographer document this beautiful yet fleeting moment in your baby's life. A newborn session provides parents with a chance to record the joyous experience of parenthood and their new little life so that their baby's first weeks of life will never be forgotten.

Ohio voters will be deciding three ballot issues this November. One proposes a new way to draw districts for Ohio's General Assembly. The other two are opposing ballot issues that address the ability to add commercial monopolies to the Ohio Constitution and whether marijuana should be legalized in the state. Below are summaries of each issue, with a brief sampling of some of the arguments made by supporters and opponents.
Issue 1
House Joint Resolution 12 was enacted during the last few days of the 130th General Assembly to create a new Ohio Redistricting Commission. It is on the November 2015 ballot as Issue 1. If enacted by Ohio voters, Issue 1 will require a seven-person panel to draw new legislative districts, replacing the existing five-member Apportionment Board. The Ohio Redistricting Commission will consist of the governor, state auditor, secretary of state, one person appointed by the speaker of the House of Representatives, one person appointed by the House Minority Leader, one person appointed by the Senate President and one person appointed by the Senate Minority Leader.
The commission will convene every 10 years — in years ending in the numeral one — for the purpose of drawing new lines for General Assembly districts. The amendment requires the commission to make a draft plan public and to conduct a minimum of three public hearings to hear public input on the proposed plan before adopting it.
The proposal requires the affirmative vote of four members of the commission, including two minority party members, to adopt a new legislative map for the full 10-year term. A plan that is adopted by a simple majority, but fails to garner support from two minority party members of the commission, will become effective "until two general elections for the house of representatives have occurred under the plan." At that point, the commission will reconvene to redraw the districts.
In addition to detailing the process for the Ohio Redistricting Commission, the amendment also outlines the map-drawing process, including minimizing splits of political subdivisions. The amendment also states that no plan "shall be drawn primarily to favor or disfavor a political party" and that districts shall be compact.
Supporters of Issue 1 say that the proposal will add transparency in the redistricting process and will help eliminate partisan gerrymandering. Opponents say that members of the proposed commission will not be independent from legislators, allowing legislators to still influence the process, and note that third parties and independents are not represented on the commission.
Issue 2
House Joint Resolution 4, passed by the Ohio General Assembly in late June, proposes to amend Article II, §1e of the Ohio Constitution "to prohibit an initiated constitutional amendment that would grant a monopoly, oligopoly, or cartel, specify or determine a tax rate, or confer a commercial interest, right, or license to any person or nonpublic entity." It has been designated as Issue 2 by the Ohio Ballot Board.
Issue 2 does not bar future initiative efforts but creates a second layer for initiatives deemed by the Ballot Board to conflict with the anti-monopoly provision. In such event, the Ballot Board would place two questions on the ballot: one asking whether the petitioner should be granted an exception to the anti-monopoly provision, and the second describing the proposed constitutional amendment. The proposed constitutional amendment would take effect only if both questions are approved by voters.
Issue 2 also includes language specifically stating that if on the November 3 ballot, voters approve a proposed amendment that conflicts with the anti-monopoly provisions in Issue 2 and creates a monopoly for the sale, distribution or other use of a federal Schedule 1 controlled substance, that amendment shall not take effect. This language seeks to prevent Issue 3 from becoming effective if both Issue 2 and Issue 3 are approved by voters.
Supporters of Issue 2 say that special interests should not be able to secure financial advantages in the Ohio Constitution. Opponents of Issue 2 say that the measure interferes with the constitutional initiative process to block a measure approved by voters.
Issue 3
A proposal from ResponsibleOhio, now Issue 3 on the November 2015 ballot, would allow persons aged 21 or older to use marijuana for medical and recreational purposes and to grow up to four plants for personal use. In addition, the amendment provides for 10 site-specific locations for the commercial growth of marijuana and retail sales of marijuana at approximately 1,100 locations throughout the state. The amendment also creates the Marijuana Control Commission as the regulatory entity over the industry.
Issue 3 would prohibit any state or local law, including zoning laws, from being applied to prohibit marijuana growth, cultivation or extraction facilities, retail stores or medical marijuana dispensaries in an area unless it is zoned exclusively residential on July 1, 2015, or as of the date the application is first filed for a license for a growing, cultivating, extraction, retail or dispensing site.
Under the plan, marijuana would be taxed at 15 percent on the gross revenue of each growth, cultivation and extraction facility and marijuana product manufacturing facility. A tax rate of 5 percent would be applied to gross revenue of each retail marijuana store. Tax revenues are directed to go to a municipal and township government fund, a strong county fund and the Marijuana Control Commission Fund.
Supporters of Issue 3 say that the measure creates a tightly controlled regulatory framework for the marijuana industry and will create jobs in Ohio. Opponents of Issue 3 say that the initiative would prevent competition in the industry and are concerned with the legalization of marijuana-infused products that may appeal to children.

I recently wrote a piece for a kora musician starting up his online teaching business. The kora is a stringed instrument sometimes called the West African harp.
I loved researching the history of the kora and its role in West African history and culture. It's a completely different perspective on how we learn music in the West.
Here's an excerpt:
Learn the Kora, Live the Culture
You'll gain much more than how to play an instrument when you learn the kora.
First, understand what it is.
A piece of handcrafted African rosewood, half a dried-out calabash covered with cow, sheep or antelope hide. And twenty-one strings held together by the tuning ring.
These basic elements represent the earth and the plant and animal kingdoms. Combined they create the kora, the West African "harp".
But it's the hands and musicianship of a kora player that bring it to life.
You'll learn notes and chords when you begin. Harmonies, dynamics and melodies will follow with dedicated practice.
Yet your kora learning goes beyond technical skills.
Develop a relationship with the kora and realize how it weaves a story and connects people across space and time.
For classically trained musicians from the West, there's the chance to learn new rhythms and musical dialogue. You'll be challenged to think differently and express yourself in ways you hadn't known before.
You'll witness how to craft powerful stories with words and music honed by decades of learning. Gain insights into the centuries-old tradition of passing on knowledge from father to son.
Learn about the Jali families and their revered status as genealogists, record-keepers and historians. They serve a fundamental role at all births, deaths and marriages in West African society even today. As mediators when conflicts arise, they are guardians of community, faith, family and friendship.
But the kora isn't stuck in the past.
It's featured in numerous contemporary collaborations. Blur's Damon Albarn and Toumani Diabate paired up to produce the incredible Mali Music (2002). The Spanish flamenco band Ketama recorded albums Songhai (1988) and Songhai 2 (1994) with Diabate and British bass player Danny Thompson. And a unique partnering between Ballake Sissoko and cellist Vincent Segal saw the birth of Chamber Music (2009) in a creative mixture of Segal's trip hop cello style and kora music.
More importantly, young West African rap and hip-hop artists continue to express the sentiments of their society, a nod to their Jaliyan roots.
You too can participate in this unique musical world. Learn the kora today and be a part of its evolving culture.

Balustrades are utilized at houses as railings and rods in balconies and staircases for defense. Additionally they play a vital role in improving the good thing about the houses. They're of numerous types like balustrade designs like wood, iron, concrete and aluminium.
Balustrades should be produced from resistant material because they are continuously uncovered to rough climate conditions. Because of this , why individuals are choosing for precast concrete balustrades for his or her houses and offices. Should you require railings for internal areas of the house then individuals produced from much softer materials like steel or aluminium tend to be more appropriate. While choosing balustrade designs for that inside of your house you need to keep your decoration take into account mind. Only individuals railings that will enhance the good thing about your house should be considered. Within this criteria, the greater more expensive supports may be better. But when you may choose the best designs, the cheaper railings could work well. Precast concrete designs can be found in different designs and colors. There's an abundance of eye-catching types of precast railings.
An advantage of utilizing precast concrete railings is they are simple to assemble. This can help in lessening time active in the installing of railing in your own home, thus also saving energy and cash. They're also simpler to keep because they are produced from more powerful material. Such railings are recognized to long lasting, thus which makes them cost-effective. Another advantage of utilizing these balustrades is the fact that unlike railings produced from natural gemstones, stainless and marble, they're less pricey.
There's always an opportunity of houses and commercial qualities catching fire. Precast concrete balustrades are naturally fire-proof and do not require any extra costs for installing of fire-protection materials in it. Fire accidents can lead to huge deficits, so it might be smart to make use of these kind of railings at the houses or offices.
However a couple of maintenance needs are essential for precast concrete railings. Like every other type of railings, additionally they require to make waterproof. This helps to keep corrosion and rust away. While doing routine household and office cleaning, strong brush ought to be used. Any debris or moss gathered should be removed every day.

I spent most of my childhood in the suburbs north of Dallas and moved to Austin in Fall 2017 after graduating with a B.A. in Electronic Media & Communication from Texas Tech University. I have always had a passion for animals, especially horses and dogs! Back in Dallas, I worked in a local pet shop for over 3 years where I learned basically everything I know about dogs today (and a few other small animals!) It was my sophomore year of college when I decided that I couldn't wait any longer and I adopted my own dog, a Great Dane named Khaleesi. Someday I'd love to have a small zoo of animals, but for now, I am excited that I get to spend time with your fur babies and love on them like my own. I am so excited to be a part of the amazing Walk ATX team! In my spare time, I also am a photographer and videographer at my production company, 2:1 Studios. If I'm not working, you can find me practicing photography, watching movies, hanging out with my boyfriend and our dogs or drinking coffee.

My favourite exotic animal would have to be a tie between Snow Leopards and Red Pandas and my favourite domestic are cats of course! I have two well-loved house cats, Loki and Thor and plan to add a German Shepherd to the mix at some stage.
I started studying Veterinary Nursing in 2003. I did certificate IV in animal laboratory
technology and finished my certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing in 2006. I have worked in a few
other clinics around Adelaide, but love working at the Hawthorn Veterinary Hospital the
most. My special area of interest is surgical nursing.
I have a Labrador Oscar and a cat Abby, I also have two horses Patrick and Valen that I
ride with my mum any chance I get.
I have been vet nursing for 10 years and have spent all of this time in small animal practise. My current fur family consists of 2 cats, Bromyde and Lucy who are both rescue cats, and 2 dogs Sophie and Gilly. In recent years Gilly, my 10 year old Kelpie X, became a certified Delta Therapy dog, he has since retired due to his age and health. Sophie is a small 4 year old Terrier X and likes to believes she runs the household! I also have a keen interest in horses, especially Natural Horsmanship, & emergency vet nursing.
I have been nursing at the Hawthorn Vet Hospital since 2006. I completed my Cert IV in Veterinary Nursing in 2011. I have a very keen interest in weight loss and weight management in dogs and cats through premium pet food diets and how premium foods aid in your pets overall health. My favourite aspects of surgical nursing are emergency and orthopedics. My 'fur baby' is my rottweiler 'Elle' and i also have two guinea pigs 'Noddy' and 'Patty'.

With rumors flying that this may be Brand New's last record, Daisy, released on Sept. 22, is possibly the Long Island quintet's most anticipated album to date.
At first glance, the 11 tracks that make up Daisy are difficult to digest - it's loud and grungy, much more experimental than anything the band has released before. For many it may seem like homage to '90s grunge albums such as Nirvana's In Utero, but subsequent listens reveal otherwise.
The first track off the album, "Vices," begins with a woman singing along to an old-time piano piece, then erupts into the screams of front man Jesse Lacey accompanied by tumultuous guitars and booming drums.
The next two tracks, "Bed" and "At the Bottom," are somewhat less overpowering, and sound more classically Brand New. More chaotic songs such as "Gasoline" and "Sink," however, truly characterize Daisy as a rock album and show Brand New in their best light - as a true alternative rock band.
Thumping bass lines from Garrett Tierney and the exploding drums of Brian Lane accentuate Lacey's screaming vocals throughout the entirety of the album. The only problem with such oppressive instrumentals is difficulty in hearing the lyrics at points. This issue is only compounded by the fact that Brand New has failed to "officially" release lyrics with both Daisy and their previous album, The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me.
Daisy keeps the listener engaged with random sound bites interjected into several tracks throughout the album. For example, a 1960s sermon starts off the title track "Daisy," which is then interrupted by a little boy vocalizing his fears. "In a Jar" begins as another quintessential Brand New track, albeit with some twang-y guitars, before a low fidelity recording of a choir gives way to Lacey's wailing.
"Be Gone" stands as the turning point in the album, a short song that could almost be classified as instrumental if not for the unintelligible chants layered over notes picked out by a southern, tinny-sounding acoustic guitar.
Although the best way to describe Daisy is somewhat chaotic, there is a certain cohesiveness surrounding the 11 tracks. Lyrics and instrumentals that seem experimental for Brand New give the band a depth that fans have yet to see.
The reason for this new dimension may be attributed to the fact that instead of Lacey writing the majority of the songs and music, they were the brainchild of guitarist Vincent Accardi. Although Accardi's spin may give a different tenor to Daisy, the writing is still classic Brand New - striking, heartfelt lyrics layered over captivating melodies.
The final track on the album is called "Noro." Lacey's initially quiet vocals are accompanied by pounding drums as well as a simple bass line and electric guitar progression, most likely provided by rhythm guitarist Derrick Sherman.
Eventually, chants of "I'm on my way to hell" are partnered with grainy vocals that sound like they originate from Accardi. "Noro" finishes the album and welcomes back the piano track and female vocals that began Daisy, leaving listeners wondering if the record has truly progressed at all.
Although Brand New manages to reinvent themselves through each of their albums, they have the ability to remain distinctly "Brand New-esque." Their newest release is a genuine testament to this fact.

Fasted vs. Fed Cardio for Fat Loss: Which is Better?/
It's been a while since I wrote a full-length blog post. Almost a whole year, in fact. The reasons are twofold: 1) My priorities have been on my work in British Athletics and my PhD; 2) Nothing had made me want to devote a significant amount of time to write about a topic. As I had some time off over Xmas, I didn't want to completely disengage my brain. Furthermore, the topic of fasted vs. fed cardio with the aim of fat loss has been a trending topic recently, both in the fitness industry as well as academia. As such, the aim of this article is to highlight our understanding to date surrounding this issue, dispel some key misconceptions regarding it, and conclude with my practical recommendations. It is worth mentioning that though the potential benefits of manipulating food intake around exercise involve factors other than just fat loss (e.g. training adaptations, markers of health and disease etc.), such topics are beyond the scope of this article.
Rationale for fasted cardio for fat loss
A common strategy among those competing in aesthetic sports (e.g. bodybuilders, fitness competitors etc.) and those competing in weight class sports (e.g. boxing, wrestling, judo etc.) is to perform cardiovascular exercise after an overnight fast, waiting until after the exercise bout to consume breakfast. The basic premise for this practise is that low levels of glycogen (and/or glycogen depletion during the exercise bout itself) and insulin, shift energy utilisation away from carbohydrate for fuel, thereby allowing greater mobilisation of stored fat that can be used for fuel (fat oxidation).
What does the research say?
Acute effects of fasted vs. fed exercise on fat oxidation
During the exercise bout
Results from several acute studies (linked here, here and here) support the idea that exercise in a fed state can result in a decrease in fat oxidation during the exercise bout due to a reduced entry of long chain fatty acids into the mitochondria. These observations in a fed state have been attributed to several factors, including the already mentioned insulin-mediated attenuation of adipose tissue lipolysis, an increased glycolytic flux and decreased expression of genes involved in fatty acid transport and oxidation.
That said, things aren't so straightforward, as several studies have demonstrated that exercising in a fed state has little to no effect on fat oxidation during the exercise bout. Indeed Coyle's research group has twice demonstrated (Links here and here) that carbohydrate ingestion during moderate-intensity (65-75% VO2max) does not reduce fat oxidation during the first 120 min of exercise in trained men. Furthermore, Horowitz and colleagues studied the fat burning response of six moderately trained individuals in a fed vs. fasted state to different training intensities. The participants each underwent four exercise conditions that involved two hours of cycling. During two of the trials, they consumed a high-glycemic carbohydrate meal at 30, 60, and 90 minutes of exercise, once at a low intensity (25% peak oxygen consumption) and once at a moderate intensity (68% peak oxygen consumption). Subjects performed the other two conditions at the same exercise intensities but this time following a 12-14 hour fast. Results in the low-intensity trials showed that although lipolysis was suppressed by 22% in the fed state compared with the fasted state, fat oxidation remained similar between groups until the 80–90 minute mark (after this point greater fat oxidation was observed when fasted). Conversely, during moderate-intensity cycling, fat oxidation was not affected by during exercise feeding at any time. This occurred despite a 20–25% reduction in lipolysis and plasma free fatty acid (FFA) concentration.
In another study involving endurance-trained subjects, Febbraio et al looked at the effect of pre-exercise and during-exercise carbohydrate consumption on fat oxidation. In a crossover design, seven participants cycled for 120 minutes at approximately 63% of peak power output (the intensity at which maximum fat oxidation occurred). Results showed no evidence of impaired fat oxidation associated with consumption of carbohydrate either before or during exercise, despite elevated insulin levels in the fed conditions.
It seems that such discrepancies in findings are largely due to the training status of the subjects involved in each trial, with the effects of fed status on fat oxidation diminishing in higher trained individuals. It is possible that in endurance-trained individuals, significantly more fat is broken down than that the body can use for fuel. FFAs that are not oxidised ultimately become re-esterified in adipose tissue (basically meaning that the unused fatty acids are reincorporated into fat tissue), thereby nullifying any lipolytic benefits afforded by pre-exercise fasting.
Though data from the above studies give some insight into answering the question of this article, the effects of feeding or not on subsequent substrate use during the exercise bout are limited to the exercise bout. Rather, looking at substrate use over a 24-h period around the exercise bout would give us a greater insight into the effects of pre-exercise feeding on fat loss.
24-h fat oxidation
A popular study cited by those when this argument comes up is a paper by Paoli et al titled ExercisingFastingorFed to Enhance Fat Loss. In this study, the authors compared the effect on oxygen consumption (VO2) and substrate utilisation (estimated by the respiratory exchange ratio (RER)), in eight men who performed the same moderate-intensity training session (36 min of running on treadmill at 65% maximum heart rate) in the morning in either a fed or fasted state. Cardio after breakfast increased both VO2 and RER significantly (4.21 vs. 3.74 and 0.96 vs. 0.84, respectively). Twelve hours after the cardio session, VO2 was still higher in the fed condition, whereas RER was significantly lower, indicating greater fat utilisation. This shift towards greater lipid use in the fed condition was still significant at the 24-h mark. A notable limitation of this study, however, was that dietary intake wasn't strictly controlled, though individual subjects food diaries "demonstrated substantial similarity" between trials. Furthermore, having VO2 and RER measures at more regular intervals may have painted a better picture of substrate use over a 24-h period.
A more recent, strictly controlled study by Iwayama and colleagues sought to determine whether the time of day that one exercises affects 24-h fat oxidation in a group of nine, young endurance athletes. The subjects performed 100 minutes of treadmill running in a metabolic chamber under three conditions: 1) before breakfast [AM] 2) after lunch [PM] 3) 50 minutes before breakfast and 50 minutes after lunch [AM/PM]. In addition, meals were provided to meet individuals' energy balance. Building on the findings of their earlier work, the authors observed that although 24-h energy expenditure was similar between trials (signifying no changes in energy balance), 24-h fat oxidation was higher in the AM group compared with the AM/PM and PM groups (1142, 809 and 608 kcal, respectively).
According to the authors, this higher fat oxidation in the AM group compared with the PM group was due to a transient energy deficit during the AM trial. In other words, in the three hours following exercise, the AM group burned more Calories than the PM group (330 vs. 280 kcal, respectively). Subsequently, because of the greater glycogen depletion in the AM group, it seems likely that this led to greater levels of fat oxidation. That said, the greater initial energy deficit was nullified by the 24-h mark, demonstrating that there was no residual beneficial effect of fasted training on energy balance. These data are interesting and in stark contrast to previous research that has either found no difference, or a more beneficial effect, for fed exercise on subsequent energy expenditure, probably due to a greater thermic effect of feeding on subsequent exercise (links here, here, here and here). Even if we choose to ignore the weight of the evidence regarding an increase in exercise thermogenesis in a fed state, the fact that was a transient energy deficit observed for fasted cardio in the study of Iwayama et al is of little significance given a lack of difference over 24-h.
Why the discrepancies in acute fat oxidation?
These unique observations from Iwayama's lab (i.e. greater fat oxidation for fasted vs. fed cardio) may be explained by several factors. Firstly, the exercise time of 100 minutes is longer than in the other studies cited. As such, it is possible that the increased training volume, and its associated greater glycogen depletion, would have been sufficient to highlight such differences in fat oxidation. Moreover, these observed differences across studies may also be explained by the greater endurance training experience of the participants in the Iwayama study (although, subjects in the Paoli study were said to be trained, the subjects' mean resting heart rate of 66.3 beats/min would suggest otherwise). Interestingly, it is well documented that intramuscular triglyceride (IMTG) can contribute to increases in fat oxidation, with these increases being substantially more pronounced in endurance-trained individuals. For example, in untrained subjects, roughly 50-70% of fat oxidised comes from plasma FFAs with the remaining coming from IMTG. In endurance-trained individuals, however, it is estimated that the contribution of nonplasma fatty acids to total fat oxidation is approximately double that of untrained individuals. One study by Hurley and colleagues reported that in trained individuals the contribution of IMTG stores to total fat oxidation was approximately 80% during 120 minutes of moderate-intensity activity. As I'm struggling to put it better myself, the following paragraph from a paper by Brad Schoenfeld perfectly highlights my thoughts on the relevance of the oxidation of IMTG for fat loss:
As a final point, though fat oxidation over 24-h gives us a better insight into body composition changes that may occur compared with that during the exercise bout alone, it still may not translate to actual body composition changes over the long term (i.e. fat loss over weeks and months). Indeed, in the Iwayama paper – the one which people cite to "show" that fasted cardio is better for fat loss – the authors state the following:
The point the authors are getting at is that as long as total energy balance remains the same, fat loss will be very similar, as generally, the more carbohydrate you "burn" during exercise, you inevitably "burn" more fat at a later point in time. Another point supporting the idea that 24-h energy balance is more meaningful than acute changes in fat oxidation can be found by observing the literature surrounding high-intensity interval-training (HIIT) and fat loss. Indeed, on a minute for minute basis, HIIT has been shown to be a superior method for maximising fat loss when compared with moderate-intensity exercise (links here, here & here). Interestingly, superior fat loss occurs when performing HIIT despite it being shown that attenuation in blood flow to adipose tissue occurs as exercise intensity increases. Still, despite lower fat oxidation rates during exercise for individuals performing HIIT, fat loss is greater over time.
Due to these factors, it is of my opinion that only long-term studies examining meaningful endpoints (i.e. actual fat loss) can get us close to answering this article's question.
Do acute changes in fat oxidation relate to long-term body composition changes (i.e. fat loss)?
Despite an apparent theoretical basis, acute observations of increased fat oxidation of fasted exercise have failed to translate to any benefit compared with exercise in a fed state. Though a few studies have looked at the effects of body composition changes associated with fasted vs. fed exercise (links here, here and here), to date, only a single study has looked at the chronic effects of fasted vs. fed cardio on body composition changes during energy restriction. In this paper, Schoenfeld and his usual partners in crime looked at the changes in fat mass and fat-free mass following four weeks of aerobic exercise (one hour of steady-state running at ~70% max heart rate, three times per week) in a group of 20 young women during a hypocaloric diet (~500 kcal deficit). Though both fed and fasted groups lost weight and body fat over the four weeks, there were no differences between groups, demonstrating that no body composition advantage occurred for any feeding strategy. Like all research, this study was not without its limitations. Firstly, the duration of testing was relatively short. Should the study have carried on for two or several months, body composition differences between groups may have had time to manifest. Secondly, although a trained and experienced dietitian (Aragon) attempted to control the participants' dietary intakes, it is possible that inaccurate self-reporting of intakes may have confounded the results. Given that mean weight loss was in fact less than would be predicted by the energy deficit, underreporting of intakes in both groups seems very likely. Furthermore, the method of air displacement plethysmography (i.e. BodPod) to assess body composition has been shown to be highly variable in some populations. Nevertheless, there were still no differences between groups for weight loss. Finally, these results may only apply to women. It would be interesting to see whether these results would transfer to a male population.
In a less recent study, Gillen and colleagues compared the effects of fasted versus fed state high-intensity interval-training on body composition changes in a group of 16 overweight/obese women. Exercise consisted of ten 60-second cycling intervals at 90% maximal heart rate with a 1:1 work/recovery ratio performed three days per week for six weeks. Though dietary control was less stringent than in the Schoenfeld study (participants were given a standardised breakfast and were then instructed to maintain pre-intervention eating habits), body mass remained unchanged after six weeks in both groups. As assessed by DEXA (a more valid measure of body composition that BodPod), fat mass was reduced, and lean body mass was increased, to a similar extent in both groups.
It is worth mentioning that longer-term studies will never be as well controlled as acute interventions; doing so would be a logistical nightmare and prohibitively expensive in most instances. However, owing to their greater external validity (essentially, how well the data can be applied in real-world conditions), long-term studies are arguably more relevant in answering the question of this article. Therefore, taken together, these data from longer term studies signify that there is no difference between fasted vs. fed exercise on body composition changes. That said, the case is far from closed on the matter and more research is needed to give a more definitive answer. Still, with our understanding of human physiology, we can discuss the theoretical implications for the effects of fasted vs. fed cardio on body composition changes.
Theoretical deductions
According to James Krieger (of Weightology; taken from issue 79 of the Alan Aragon Research Review):
To paraphrase Krieger, if a study is designed whereby where people do fasted or non-fasted cardio to produce a 500 kcal daily energy deficit, the energy deficit is the same between the groups, and hence weight loss (not taking into account water fluctuations due to glycogen status) will also be the same. If indeed 24-hour fat oxidation makes a difference to fat loss in this example, then the fasted group should lose more fat. However, for greater fat loss to occur in the fasted group, they must also preserve more lean body mass (so that weight loss remains the same). As such, for a given energy deficit, for fasted cardio to result in more fat loss, it must also have a greater protein sparing effect. For this not to be the case would result in a violation of the first law of thermodynamics, which basically states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed.
Now let's go through each of Krieger's points and see what the research says regarding them.
(1) From the studies already discussed in this article, as well as other research I looked at in preparation for writing this post, there is no evidence that fasted cardio results in an increased 24-h energy expenditure relative to exercise performed in a fed state. So far, so good.
(2) I'm not aware of any data showing that performing cardio in a fasted state suppresses appetite to a greater degree than non-fasted cardio. In fact, in free-living conditions, the greater glycogen storage following fed cardio (due to the meal's effect on the sparing of muscle glycogen) may inhibit subsequent food intake to a greater degree, since carbohydrate balance is a predictor of subsequent ad libitum food intake.
(3) To my knowledge, there is no evidence that exercising in a fasted state will have a greater protein sparing effect than that in a fed state, nor can think of a mechanism as to why this may be the case. Interestingly, nitrogen losses (~14 g of amino acids per hour) have been observed during 60 minutes of fasted exercise. That said, the source of the nitrogen losses were not identified so it is not possible to comment on whether this would have a negative effect on muscle tissue. It is likely that, providing dietary protein is adequate, any long-term differences in the quantity of muscle tissue after performing fasted or fed exercise would be negligible. If there were indeed a protein sparing effect associated with either strategy, it would be with performing cardio in a fed state.
Taken together, and to quote Krieger,
I'd agree with these conclusions and so would the weight of the research to date.
Conclusions & practical applications
In summary, despite a logical rationale for superior effects of fasted cardio for fat loss when compared to that performed in a fed state, acute oxidation data as well as longer-term trials have failed to support it. Instead it would appear that there is little to no difference between fasted vs. fed exercise for the goal of fat loss, a conclusion that is supported when looking at things from a theoretical standpoint. As such, if fat loss were the aim, my recommendations would simply be to perform the type of cardio that you prefer and can consistently do on a regular basis.
