“Of all the parasites that affect humanity I do not know of, nor can I imagine, any more distressing than that
of Obesity.”
So started William Banting’s “Letter on Corpulence,” likely the first diet book ever published. Banting, an
overweight undertaker, published the book in 1864 to espouse his success after replacing an excessive
intake of bread, sugar and potatoes with mostly meat, fish and vegetables.
Since then, fad diets have appeared in many forms. To what length will people go to achieve their desired
figure? As a professor of nutrition and eating behaviors, my sense is the history of dieting shows vanity
outweighs common sense.
Liquid-based diets
Let’s jump back to 1028, the year William the Conqueror was born. Healthy most of his life, he became so
overweight in later years that he went on a liquid diet consisting of almost nothing but alcohol. He lost
enough weight to resume riding his cherished horse, but a riding accident soon led to his untimely death.
We do know of one case in which consuming more alcohol than food allegedly led to longevity. In 1558,
Italian nobleman Luigi Cornarorestricted himself daily to 12 ounces of food and 14 ounces of wine. Rumor
has it he lived to a ripe 102 years of age, earning his approach the nickname The Immortality Diet.
Another alcohol-focused plan, The Drinking Man’s Diet, was introduced in the 1960s. This included so-
called “manly” foods like steak and fish, along with as much alcohol as desired.
Poet Lord Byron credited his thin, pale look to vinegar and water. This practice reemerged in the 1950s as
the popular Apple Cider Vinegar Diet, which instructs people to drink a mixture of equal parts honey and
vinegar. The latest version, although not scientifically supported, claims that three teaspoons of apple cider
vinegar before each meal will curb cravings and cut fat.
Cleanses
“Cleaner” liquid diets, cleanses and detoxes are designed to supposedly rid the body of toxins, despite our
natural ability to do so.
In 1941, alternative health enthusiast Stanley Burroughs created the Master Cleanse, or Lemonade Diet, to
eliminate cravings for junk food, alcohol, tobacco and drugs. All you had to do was consume a mixture of
lemon or lime juice, maple syrup, water and cayenne pepper six times a day for at least 10 days.
Beyoncé made this popular again in 2006, saying she lost 20 pounds in two weeks.
TV physician Dr. Oz and others have since promoted their own versions, varying in length and foods
allowed. Most include a daily laxative and copious amounts of water.
The Last Chance Diet, published in 1976, consisted of drinking a very low-calorie liquid a few times per day.
The main ingredient was a blend of predigested animal byproducts – think hide, horns and tendons. This
“meat smoothie” was taken off the market after several followers died.
More recently, the Green Juice plan became popular. Many were captivated by the promise of a deep
cleanse or quick weight loss, while others saw it as an easy way to consume more fruits and vegetables. One
of the original recipes called for apples, celery, cucumber, kale, lemon and ginger.
Celebrity diets
Andy Warhol had a different approach to maintaining his physique. He reportedly ordered foods he disliked
when out at restaurants, asking for a to-go box upon leaving. He would then give this to a homeless person.
Sleeping was another possibility. Elvis Presley was rumored to be an advocate of the Sleeping Beauty Diet.
Its long pill-induced sleeping bouts were said to inhibit eating.
A more recent effort to mimic celebrities, the Hollywood 48 Hour Miracle Diet was joined by the Hollywood
24 Hour Miracle Diet, the Hollywood Daily Miracle Diet Drink Mix Meal Replacement and various dietary
supplements.
Another method rumored to be popular in the early 1900s was the Tapeworm Diet. Theoretically, one
would swallow a tapeworm or tapeworm pills. The worm would then live in your stomach and consume
some of your food. While vintage advertisements have been found, there is no evidence that tapeworms
were actually sold.
Other diets have allured fans over the years with the promise of easy weight loss through a single
miraculous food. There’s the Grapefruit Diet, which recommends half a grapefruit before every meal; The
Peanut Butter Diet and the Ice Cream Diet, both promising as much of said food daily as desired; and the
Shangri-La Diet in 2006, which claimed you could beat hunger by drinking olive oil about an hour before
each meal.
One standout example was the Cabbage Soup Diet, first popularized by celebrities in the 1950s. This diet
involved consuming nothing but soup for seven days. The original recipe called for cabbage, vegetables,
water and dry onion soup mix, but other renditions added ingredients like fruit, skim milk and beef. It
became trendy again every ten years or so, with the internet making it easier to share.
Alternative ideas
Some diets and their supporting theories went beyond food.
In 1727, writer Thomas Short observed that overweight people lived near swamps. His Avoiding Swamps
Diet thus recommended moving away from swamps.
Instead of moving away from swamps, Breatharianism recommends not eating. Followers in a 2017
interview claimed food and water are unnecessary, saying they subsist on spirituality and sunlight alone.
The prolonged fasting would eventually lead to starvation, but devotees have been spotted eating and
drinking.
The more dangerous Cotton Ball Diet surfaced in 2013. Dieters reported consuming up to five cotton balls
at a time, saying they felt full and lost weight. With its unfortunate side effect of intestinal obstruction, this
diet faded away.
But not all unusual ideas are bad. The Seven Day Color Diet, published in 2003, suggested eating foods of
only one color each day. For example, red day would include tomatoes, apples and cranberries. This actually
emphasizes healthful foods to include, rather than crazy concoctions or restrictions.
While intriguing, fad diets are usually short-term quick fixes. They may produce initial rapid weight loss,
but this is more likely due to their lower calorie intake than the follower’s usual diet, and often consists
of water loss.
Instead, we should remember that there’s no simple secret to losing weight. Achieving sustained weight loss
and maintenance requires reducing your calorie intake and increasing your activity levels – with or without
grapefruit and cabbage.

KETO: Low Carb Beef Stroganoff!!
Quantifiers and Sequencing Exercise
Part A: Circle all quantifiers in the recipe description.
These low carb Beef Stroganoff Meatballs are quite simply amazing. This is one of the best from my many recipes
for meatballs. It’s true, I wish I had some right now, but it’s only 7:30am – that’s how good they are! My husband
isn’t usually a huge fan of mushrooms, but even he could eat some more of these!
Now Beef Stroganoff is typically served with some egg noodles, and you could try these Keto beef stroganoff
meatballs with the low carb egg fast noodles from the Fettuccini Alfredo recipe, and it would probably be fantastic. I
served them with a little of the Cauliflower Puree because I was already making some and it was a little easier – and
delicious.
So you have a few options – but do serve them with something to enjoy all of that delicious gravy. Even zucchini
noodles or spaghetti squash would work if that’s what you have on hand. This is a meal that you can never eat too
many times. I suggest that you serve this delicious meal with a little homemade mango iced tea.
This KETO beef stroganoff meatballs recipe calls for a little xanthan gum which is a low carb thickener that you can
usually find in the baking aisle or with the gluten free products. Otherwise you can order it online pretty cheaply.
You can omit the xanthan gum, but your gravy will be much runnier without it – still yummy!
What are the 4 different measurements that you see in the ingredients?
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
First, combine the meatball ingredients (except the butter) in a medium bowl and mix well.
After it is mixed, form it into 12 meatballs.
Next, heat the 2 Tbsp of butter in a large, nonstick sauté pan. Then, cook the meatballs on medium heat in the
butter until browned on all sides and cooked through (2-3 minutes per side.) Immediately remove the meatballs
from the pan and set aside.
After you take the meatballs out, add the 1 Tbsp of butter and the 2 cups of sliced mushrooms to the pan. Then cook
until the mushrooms are golden and fragrant (4-5 minutes.) Again, remove the mushrooms from the pan.
Now, add the onions and garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes or until softened and translucent.
Remove the onions from the pan.
Then, add the beef broth to your pan and scrape the bottom to get all the yummy bits off. After, whisk in your sour
cream and xanthan gum.
As soon as it is a creamy texture, add the meatballs, mushrooms, onions and garlic back to the pan and stir.
Simmer on low for 20 minutes.
At last, Season with salt and pepper to taste and Garnish with the fresh parsley right before serving.
ENJOY!

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
(2001)
Reviewed by Adrian Hennigan
Updated 6 November 2001
This is possibly Hollywood's first bespectacled hero since Harold Lloyd. Harry Potter makes a
satisfactory, although unspectacular, film debut as Chris Columbus delivers a $125 million
movie about the young boy destined to be a great wizard.
Treating JK Rowling's debut novel with a reverence that wasn't even accorded to The Bible,
Hollywood serves up a two-and-a-half hour fantasy that gets the introductions out of the way when
Harry goes to Hogwarts for the first time. This paves the way for more plot-driven tales in what's
sure to become the biggest franchise of all time. (On the big screen, incidentally, the story's
similarities to "Star Wars" are even more visible because of the similar plot and characters).
If you've read the novel - and if you haven't, why not? - great casting means you'll feel like you've
met all of these characters already. The three young leads - Radcliffe, Grint, and especially
Watson - deliver likable, natural performances, while the film's biggest joy is watching the spot-
on performances of their peers: Maggie Smith plays Professor McGonagall like Miss Jean Brodie
with a pointy hat, while Robbie Coltrane steals the show as loose-lipped Hagrid. Alan Rickman,
meanwhile, sneers for England as Professor Snape.
Indeed, the whole film plays like an advertisement for historic old England where the film
takes place - if this doesn't get Americans buying our castles and cathedrals, or at least coming to
look at them again, nothing will. Hell, even King's Cross station looks pleasant.
The film's not flawless, though. It's half an hour too long and much of the book's humour is
jettisoned. Despite its flaws, it's refreshing to witness a big-budget movie where the
impressive special effects complement the story, rather than merely compensate for the
lack of one.
"Harry Potter" may not leave you spellbound, then, however it'll definitely leave you wanting to
discover the "Chamber of Secrets".

ROLLİNG STONES – STİLL ROCKİNG AND ROLLİNG AT 50
The Rolling Stones are the oldest performing rock band in music history. They started out in London in 1962
and have been commercially successful for over fifty years. Of the original line-up three members are still in
the band: lead singer Mick Jagger, guitarist Keith Richards and drummer Charlie Watts. Ronnie
Woods joined the band in 1975. Up to today, the Stones have sold more than 200 million albums.
The idea of founding a rock and roll band goes back to the schooldays of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. In
1962 they performed at the Marquee Club in London for the first time. The music they played at that time was
not rock and roll but rhythm and blues.
The Rolling Stones’ first US tour in June 1964 was not very successful, partly because they hadn’t had a hit
record at that time. The Beatles, formed at around the same time, were skyrocketing to success and landed
one hit single after the other. While the Beatles had been gentleman-like, nice and always neatly dressed The
Stones had been their counterparts, the bad boys, the Anti-Beatles, wearing longer hair and showing a
more aggressive musical style.
International breakthrough came in 1965 with their number one hit Satisfaction. The Stones had their most
successful time in Britain and the US during 1965 and 1966. In 1967 members of the Rolling Stones
were accused of taking drugs. Guitarist Brian Jones could not stand the pressure of success and left the band
in 1969. He committed suicide , shortly afterwards.
The Stones originally played songs from famous rhythm and blues and rock musicians. Later on Jagger and
Richards began writing their own songs. Hit songs include As Tears Go By, Paint it Black, Brown Sugar, Honky
Tonk Women and many others.
By 1980s the members of the band started their own solo careers but occasionally still played together. In
1989 the Rolling Stones were honored in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In the same year the Stones got
together again for another album and world tour. Having reached middle age, the band proved that they could
still rock. Thousands flocked to stadiums around the world to see their concerts. On stage they are
still electrifying, especially the unique performance of lead singer Mick Jagger.
In 2008 Hollywood director Martin Scorsese, a dedicated Stones fan, turned one of their concerts into a
documentary film, Shine a Light.
No rock band has played longer than the Rolling Stones. Today, at the musical age of 50, they are far
from quitting and their fans appreciate it. They have recorded over 400 songs, made two dozen studio albums,
and have gone on ten world tours.
While other rock bands have come and gone, the Stones have endured. Critics say that the Rolling Stones are
not only clever businessmen but because they have always put the band before the individual.

Family
The nuclear family is the traditional family structure in the West. This term, originating in the 1950s,
describes families consisting of a father, a mother, and their offspring. Under this structure, the family is
seen as the basic unit in society; the father functions as the breadwinner and the mother as the homemaker.
Nowadays, alternative family types are becoming more prevalent, such as single-parent families, families
headed by same-sex parents, and extended families where families live with their kin, which may include
several generations. Extended families are less common in North America, where it is not uncommon to
place grandparents in retirement homes.
A Social Trends survey in 2009 reported radical changes in child rearing and marriage practices in the
United Kingdom. Figures showed that while 30 percent of women under thirty had given birth by the age of
25, only 24 percent had tied the knot. This marked the first time childbirth had become the first
major milestone in adult life, ahead of marriage. In 1971 in the U.K, 3/4 of women were married by the age
of 25 and half were mothers.
Judging by the high rates of divorce and the increasing number of children born out of wedlock, it would
appear that the family as an institution is in decline. American sociologist Stephanie Coontz believes so too,
but for different reasons. Coontz points out that marriages are no longer arranged for political or economic
reasons, and children are no longer required to contribute to the family income. Marriages nowadays are
founded on love. She believes this shift towards love and free choice has actually weakened both the family
by making it optional and the bond between the husband and wife by making it contingent on emotional
fulfillment.

So You Want to Be Class President
Before I talk about how to get elected, I want you to think about why you want to become class
president. Do you want to improve school dances? Do you want to have a wider variety of school lunch
options? Create a class field trip? Start a fundraiser?
All of these reasons are legitimate. You need to figure out what your own goal is. If you're having trouble,
sit down and brainstorm. Think about all the events your student government plans. Which did you attend?
Were there issues at these events? What could have been done better? Is it something you could change?
This brainstorming should lead you to some ideas of why you want to become president of your class or
school.
Why do you need a reason to want to be class president? It'll keep you motivated during your
campaign, and it'll help you explain to your classmates why they should vote for you. I'll delve into this in-
depth later on in this article.

WHAT IS IT LIKE BEING A TEACHER?
Students will get real
Teachers must be prepared for students to open up their hearts, sharing
their dreams and deepest fears. It may be
especially true with writing classes, but students do want to
explore their feelings about all manner of issues,
including childhood
experiences with abuse, social inequality, bullying, regrets about slights
to family members or
fellow students, and even arrests and convictions. Teachers must be prepared to listen, offer their best opinions on
what and
how to write, help the students work these issues out through writing and
critical thinking, and direct them
to appropriate resources and
professionals for additional guidance.
The more experience you have, the better
For potential teachers, I always suggest that they have some kind of experience with children or adolescents before
they begin education course work. It is important to know that working with kids is something they want to do. For
future bilingual or ESL teachers, I would expect and, indeed, encourage future teachers to have a language learning
experience themselves in order to be sympathetic and even as vulnerable as the English Language Learners are. I also
encourage future teachers to get involved in community education activities so they will be connected and primed for
a teaching job when they graduate! It's also a good way to find out the districts' professional development focus,
philosophy, and accepted methods.
It’s extraordinarily rewarding
If you’ve ever heard “grown-ups” talking about their work being unfulfilling or boring or lacking purpose, you
will never experience that if you become a teacher! Each and every day, you will help more than you hurt, and you
will make young lives better. When your head hits the pillow at night, you will rest assured that you have made the
world a better place, heart to heart, human to human. Is it risky? Is it hard? Of course. It’s caring for young
people. But it is one of the most invigorating and fulfilling things one can
do with one’s life. And, to be clear, it is a life, a calling, not a job. If you’re
considering the teaching profession, you must already have a sense that you
would enjoy helping young people in their development. But how can you
know exactly whom to help and how? Research. This is about learning, after
all. Visit as many classrooms at as many grade levels in as many
environments as possible. Interview the teachers, the students, and the
administrators and balance what you learn with where your passions and
skills lie. Make a call to your favorite former teacher (or principal) today,
and get started.
It’s also extraordinarily hard
Teaching means that you have an emotional investment in making our
world better, and you use your skills and gifts to achieve that within your
own classroom. You see each student as unique, and you realize that his
gifts are special and deserve to be developed and celebrated. Teaching is a
tough but rewarding career. You earn every penny.
My advice to new teachers is to find, deep within yourself, the magnetic
aspects of your personality that will help kids connect with you. Not every teacher needs to be Tony Robbins, but they
do need qualities that encourage students to trust and believe in them. If you chose to teach because you can talk for
days about literature, because you enjoy sharing things you like with other people, and because you tend to be a happy
person who can bounce back after failure, then you’re on the right track. I know that new teachers feel anxious and
overwhelmed. Having a positive attitude and a proactive mindset will save you from many headaches. This might
sound a little sappy, I know. But think about it: Are good teachers the ones who dislike kids? Who find teenagers
annoying and dumb? Who are down on civilization? Heck, no. Those people need to get out of the profession, like,
right now.
Kindness, confidence, strategic thinking, and inner joy are the four factors that turn classrooms into places where kids
feel inspired, happy, and confident. Whether they remember minor details about the turtle’s symbolism in Chapter 3 of
The Grapes of Wrath doesn’t matter in life. Their confidence and joy for learning matters. I aim to be a dynamic,
inspired teacher. Students are drawn to enthusiasm and catch it. They appreciate passion and kindness and genuine
interest. Harness those things, and you will have a successful, rewarding career.
Change through learning
A teacher must be dedicated to the notion of change. The essence of education is to reveal the unknown by either
breaking a set and looking at something in a new way or building upon previous knowledge and experience to seek
greater understanding and truth. In either case the teacher is the instrument of change—defined as learning. Drawing
upon a constellation of acquired skills and techniques, the teacher creates the environment for learning to take place.
In addition to dedication to change, the teacher must embrace the importance of relationships with his or her students.
Without a genuine desire to build relationships, the arc of learning will be severely curtailed. Appreciating differences,
respecting the dignity of each student, and accepting responsibility that a student's failure to learn is the responsibility
of the teacher are the necessary building blocks of creating a teaching-learning relationships with students. The
greatest joy in teaching is to facilitate that “ah-ha!” moment when a student realizes that there is a new truth or
understanding that resulted from their interaction with their teacher.
The job doesn’t end when the bell rings
You take students from where they are now to where you want them to be. If you are a high school teacher, you
should be willing to help students after they graduate. I help students get internships and jobs, and I connect with
former students and athletes using LinkedIn. I usually get solicited for help quite frequently. I also created a LinkedIn
group for alumni of our high school that has been helpful for these former students. I believe teachers are role-models
for children. They should act and behave the way they expect their students to behave. Get to know your students.
They will work hard for you—and, really, themselves—if you genuinely care about them and show it.

Three Tips for a Successful Debate or Presentation
There is much anticipation surrounding this election season's first presidential debate. It's each
candidate's opportunity to present their ideas to a wide audience and persuade viewers of their
positions. Similarly in a business presentation, a presenter must win over the audience and clearly
communicate his point of view in a way that causes the audience to take action.
1. Know your subject. To be convincing as an authority on your subject and to be able to speak
astutely, you should have an in-depth understanding of the topic and think on your feet. In a
debate questions may come from the mediator or opponent, and in a business presentation a
skeptical audience could confront you with a rigorous Q&A session. Knowing "your stuff" will
make you prepared for anything that comes at you. But, knowing your arguments is just the half of
it. You must also be able to combat the opposition with sound arguments. To be able to do that, it's
important that you understand the other side's position. Your audience's opinions may also differ
from yours, so you are not only countering your competition's point of view, you are also trying to
convince the audience that your arguments are stronger and sounder.
2. Mind your actions. At any speaking event or meeting, all eyes are on you. You are not only
being judged on what you say but also on your demeanor. Be mindful of your composure, avoid
slouching or leaning. Pay attention to non-verbal reactions to your opponent's statement ‒ an eye
roll or pursed lips could come across as rude or antagonistic. And be aware that even when you are
not speaking, you are still being watched!
3. Hold your composure. The goal of your speech or presentation is to give the audience the
opportunity to hear your thoughts, comprehend your message, and act upon them. In a highly
stressful, heated setting, it is easy to get caught up in the emotion of the moment. But raising your
voice or getting upset will not benefit your cause. Instead, keep collected even if your opponent or
audience is trying to draw you into a shouting match. You will earn more respect for being calm
and able to express your thoughts in a composed manner.
One of the things that make the presidential debates unique in comparison to most presentations
is the lack of visual aids ‒ don’t try to mimic this exclusion. Visual aids complement what you are
saying to help convey your message. And, most importantly, they are processed much faster than
words and are easier to remember.
With any debate or presentation, keep in mind that your goal is to persuade your audience that
you, or your company and its products and services, are the right choice. Mastering your subject to
cogently formulate your thoughts and arguments will help you communicate your value statements
and position in contrast to the competition. When the audience understands your message, they
are more likely to accept and retain your position, leading them to take action. To convincingly
establish your authority and expertise on the subject, stay mindful of your composure and actions.
Best of luck to tonight's debaters and keep these tips handy for your next presentation!

TIP: The most often asked question in interviews. Talk about things you have done and jobs you have held that relate
to the position you are interviewing for.
Never complain of supervisors, co-workers or the organization. Keep smiling and talk about leaving for a positive
reason such as a great opportunity.
Talk about specifics that are relevant to the position. In case of little relevant experience, get as close as you can
Do some research on the organization before the interview. What are the current issues and who are the major players?
This should be based on the research you have done on the organization. Sincerity is extremely
important here.
6. What have you done to improve your knowledge in the last year?
A nasty little game that you will probably lose if you answer first. So, do not answer it. Instead, say something like,
“That’s a tough question. Can you tell me the range for this position?” If there’s no way out of showing your cards,
say that it depends on the details of the job, and give a wide range.
Of course, you are a team player. Be sure to have examples ready to give good evidence of your team attitude.
9. Have you ever had to fire anyone? How did you feel about that?
You will do it when it is the right thing to do. You will protect the organization when an individual has created a
harmful situation.
11. Explain how you would be an asset (=a useful tool) to this organization
Highlight your best points as they relate to the position being discussed.
Point out how your assets meet what the organization needs.
