Honest: Oh wouldn't it be nice if we could reduce the complexities of life to a 30 second sound bite. It turns out to be more complex than you believe. Eating carbs and snacking frequently results in some physiologic processes that complicate things. In its simplest form (and this is just just touching the complexity) too many carbs raises insulin, promoting calorie storage and most importantly blocks hormone sensitive lipase. This last step prevents the body from utilizing fat stores. So our current recommended dietary pattern encourages fat deposition, and prevents it from being reduced. Not simply calories in calories out. The laws of thermodynamics hold true, but in the context of our hormonal milieu. Ketogenic diet and fasting fixes the hormonal problem.

From your link: Young debtors aged 18–29 account for 14% of all insolvency filings, up from 12% in our previous study. Senior debtors aged 60 and over now make up 12% of all insolvencies, continuing the growth trend begun in 2011. Student debt is a factor in 15% of all insolvencies, up from 13% two years ago. -- While student debt is a rising factor, the listed groups' percentage increase can be mostly accounted for by the decrease on overall insolvencies. Looking at the more detailed tabs, the comparisons are still % of debtors rather than number per capita. So the study and report is written to be alarmist, rather than analytical.

One moment YOU should Correct Zoe' article but as you do that you think your comments should not be challenged because you "only had 6 minutes on a tablet and you are not an aspirant journalist". Meaning the standard you prescribe does not apply to you because of these excuses.

What I find even more staggering is where you decide to "manage" my time but as YOU do that you display the same shortcomings you attempt to accuse me of!

The much ballyhooed battle for Mosul began a month and a half ago. The news coverage of that conflict versus the news coverage of Aleppo is enormously one-sided. Why is that, considering the differing casualty counts over the comparable period? If, as this media outlet states, it's a "slaughter" in Aleppo, then it's mass carnage in Mosul. Yet there's very little coverage of this in the Western media. That's all the more telling because the US coalition is fighting the battle in Mosul, whereas they took no direct part in the fight for Aleppo. The reason why is that Western governments and their media turned the spotlight on Syrian/Russian forces fighting in Aleppo, rather than the apparently greater disaster they're inflicting on Mosul. Again, according to reports, 6000 combatants have been killed in just one month of fighting for Mosul. That is intense combat, and it far exceeds the casualties over any comparable period in the battle for Aleppo.

[To Mr. Smith, the “sweet spot” for bikes in general is around $2,500, meaning for that amount average riders will get pretty much all the bike they’ll ever need.] Even that's a bit steep, especially considering that most riders haven't a clue on how to maintain and ride them. All sense of proportion is being lost, with many buyers thinking the more you pay, the better the machine, and they themselves have no idea how to buy something appropriate for their needs. For the vast majority, an internal hub is the best choice. Unless you're racing , or have an intrinsic knowledge of how to use the machine, going for comfort should be the main goal. That being said, the internal hub market has grown, and there's some excellent choices.

This was the first action of the 1903 Hawaii Legislature, adopted unanimously by the Senate and Polynesian- Hawaiian dominated House, and delivered to the U.S. Congress by our elected delegate to the U.S. Congress by Polynesian Prince Kuhio Kalaniana'ole. Again, if the Polynesians of the time in Hawaii were against being part of the U.S. they had a funny way of showing it! Only a couple years after annexation they wanted full statehood.

"Free speech is the right of individuals and communities to express themselves without repression from the state,” according to the group. “The students are not the state nor the repressors. Taking to the stage and using this platform was an act of free speech — not a violation of it.” " What an ironic statement. It implies that repression of free speech is perfectly fine so long as it's not the act of "the state." Such a position give license to any group or individual to censor by force or by intimidation the Free Speech rights of others. Of coure that' precisely what these students (and, it seems, some non-students) did....they, through physical force and intimidation censored the speech of U of O President Schill.

One of the biggest problems with bears, is that they are big and tough. The handguns most people carry will truly just piss a bear off, 9mm, .40, .45, none are big enough to stop a bear unless you are incredibly lucky. Something larger, the problem is getting your follow on shots on target. In rifle calibers, most hunters that I know, use bolt action rifles, so you might get 1 or at most 2 shots at a charging bear, and even with a .30 cal round (30-30, 30-06, .308), you may or may not stop the bear in the first shot. One of the articles pointed out that it took an average of 4 shots to stop a bear, unless you are incredibly lucky or very very good, you aren't going to get the chance at 4 shots. You would have a better chance against a black bear than against a grizzly, just because black bears tend to be smaller and less aggressive. That being said, the right tool is bear spray.

Tax avoidance and tax evasion are both highly sensitive to tax rates. For more insight, readers might google Laffer Curve. The exact threshold of tax rates at which tax revenues decline is a complex formula based in part on the degree of belief of the citizenry that they are receiving value for the tax that they pay. Typically, tax rates over 50% are in the red zone, but it is important to note the additive impact of income, consumption and asset taxes, as well as the odd head tax. It is pretty clear from this government's attitude on enforcement that it knows it is well into the red zone, and each spending splurge and disbursement scandal just adds fuel to the fire that pushes taxpayers past the Laffer Curve peak.

I am referring to my Grade 13 economics knowledge here so please excuse me. Just looking for someone to weigh in. Are we not likely to end up back as the "hewers of wood and drawers of water"? In other words, the U.S. will not impose large duties on raw materials they are after and we will remain their closest and largest source. But as for manufacturing, and jobs that go with it, the U.S. wants those jobs to be in the U.S. So, Canada may still be in a good position in terms of lumber, wheat, metals and other exports of raw materials.

"Democratic" is a pretty wide concept. The iconic Athens democracy was not. Some take umbrage to calling the USofA a democracy; it's a republic? So, no resistance to your point. Further, evil, sickness are sadly, intrinsic to humanity; as "institution" is to community. The question for church should be: what are the conditions which most effectively lead towards Mission, wholeness, goodness and which best limit hurt, harm, evil. The absolute minimum, to me, are: -clarity of mission -representation -transparency -accountability -discernment, correction, redirection (like the laws of robatics integrates each and all). Administration/organization is the fluid underpinning, necessary but subservient.

Had a cozy chat with rip offs in L48? You're leaving too much out, tell us all. Good to hear $100,000 per year in mining...get this Tech Cominco? Tech owes us more now. Voted this guy before we checked him out!!!!
