Thankfully, TFA is a bit better:

Often, the first model wouldn't work very well, so the group would argue about how to strengthen it. Some would offer up new data they'd collected, and suggest tweaks to the model. "They'd be sitting around arguing about what model was the best, which was most predictive," Steinkuehler recalls.
That's when it hit her: The kids were practicing science.

While I have the highest respect for my esteemed colleagues in Madison, I find myself disagreeing with Steinkuehler's conclusions. These kids are not practicing science, they're practicing being human beings. And as human beings, we find new and inventive ways to meet a challenge whenever one is presented to us.

All one needs to do is look back through history. Aliens didn't build the pyramids; humans did. Humans who were given the seemingly impossible task rose to the challenge and made it happen. The Flavian Amphitheatre (aka the Coliseum) didn't just appear when someone pulled the plug on a drain and the water swirled around. Humans wanted a better place to host their blood sport. So they devised a new method. Trains didn't start moving themselves. Humans had a problem of not enough labor. So they devised a solution.

Which isn't to say that these many engineering feats were devoid of what we today think of as "science". However, it is important to remember that the scientific process (i.e. the thing that separates "science" from simply "effort") is a formalized process that vets the actual facts from the statistical noise. If you are not following the formalized methodology, you are not performing "science".

Which isn't to say that I don't think these kids deserve mad props. They used their brains and were rewarded for it. Which is something to be proud of in a comfortable modern society that makes it all too easy to turn one's brain to the "off" position. :-)

The old days Scientific Method of objecttively searching for truth is more or less obsolete.

What old days? When scientists were beholden to Lords and Kings? People who could not only cut off funding with the wave of their hands but people would could have you tried and executed for discovering the "wrong" things?

Or do you mean before that in the ancient world, where great thinkers who spoke out were put to death? Trial of Socrates ring any bells?

You are experiencing whats called idealization of the fictional past. Things are most likely better now (post-enlightenment post-democracy post-civil rights) than ever. I mean, the kids of non-nobles going to university and teaching and publishing disagreeable things?? Scandalous!!

A diet plan for losing weight

A diet plan for losing weight

 

When developing a free diet plan there are some important points to consider. A free diet plan should include these basic diet plan steps:

 

Estimated calorie needs for your current weight

 

Approximately calculate the calorie consumption this recording from food consumed on an average day

 

Start the free diet plan by reducing your current daily caloric intake of 500 calories

 

When the weight loss slows reduce calorie consumption by a further 100 per day. (See free diet plan tip # 3 in front!)

 

A free diet plan should consist mainly of natural foods low in calories and high in nutrients to avoid any lack of nutrients

Unhealthy diets are seen as a way of eating that leads to the body too much or too little food. The consequences are overweight or malfunctions. Nutrition in children is manifested primarily by fatigue, listlessness and lack of concentration, in older people with water retention.

To avoid malfunctions is appropriate to evaluate its power to control and correct the balance between carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Abolish products from their diet already pre supermarkets and consume, however, plenty of fruits and vegetables preferably raw, cooked because they lose most of the useful substances in the body.

Who consumes meals too quickly is likely to suffer digestive problems which is why you should eat calmly, savoring every morsel of food .... Beware of the salt that can promote and increase the already high pressure. The salt in excess, also aggravates the problem of water retention.

Cycling tailor: choose the mountain bike
Having a bicycle on far right is a certain difference, so when you want to buy a mountain bike, you should choose the measure of frame most suitable to the stature of those who must use.

The "size" of a bicycle is the length of the tube of the frame on which is grafted the saddle. If you choose a road bike the length is expressed in centimeters, while in the case of mountain biking the measure is expressed in inches.

Atkins diet Guide

 

The Atkins diet, officially called the Atkins Nutritional Approach, is a well-known low-carb diet created by Dr.Robert Atkins from a diet he read in the Journal of the American Medical Association and utilized to resolve his own overweight condition following medical school and graduate medical training. He later popularized the Atkins diet in a series of books, starting with Dr. Atkins' Diet Revolution in 1972. In his revised book, Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution, he modified or changed some of his ideas, but remained faithful to the original concepts.

 

The Atkins franchise, a business formed to provide products to those individuals on the diet, was highly successful due to the popularity of the diet, and is considered the driving entity of the larger "low-carb craze" during the early millennium. Various factors, however, led to its dwindling success and the company founded by Dr. Atkins in 1989, Atkins Nutritionals of Ronkonkoma, New York, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in January of 2005, two years after the death of Dr. Atkins. The company re-emerged in January 2006, and the Atkins logo is still highly visible through licensed-proprietary branding for food products and related merchandise.

Diet Blog:Jorge Cruise has just published the . Mr Cruise is well-known for his series ;8 minutes in the morning"His new diet book has jumped to #10 in the Amazon bestseller lists...

3 Hour Diet

Jorge Cruise is famous for his "8 minutes" series. A renowned fitness trainer, Cruise has capitalized on the popularity of short workout routines. The 3-Hour diet is a logical extension to his fitness routines, bringing in a diet regime to suit the average consumer. Note: Sometimes the author has been erroneously called George Cruise.

Eat Every 3 Hours
The 3 Hour diet is all about meal frequency. By eating every 3 hours, blood sugar levels will be more consistent and the bodies metabolism will remain in a heightened state.

For most people this will equate to about 5 meals per day - breakfast, lunch, and dinner - with two snacks in between. The 3-Hour diet addresses processed and fast foods - and much of the sales pitch of the book is about being able to lose weight and still eat some "junk" foods.

Food groups should always be combined - i.e. protein should be eaten with carbohydrates and fat (and fruit and vegetables where possible). Cruise recommends drinking 8 glasses of water per day.

3 Hour Diet Plan
Breakfast
McDonalds Egg McMuffin, 1% milk & apple

Lunch
Lean Cuisine Cheese cannelloni, side salad with nonfat dressing

Dinner
1 small baked potato, 3oz grilled chicken, 1tsp butter, 1 cup green beans

Treat
12 M&M's

Sample Snacks - Pria Double Choc bar and Nabisco 100 calorie Oreo cookie snack

Freebies - 1 diet coke, 1 coffee, 1 non dairy creamer


Another example
For breakfast, a ham and cheese omelet, bread and lots of fruit.
Three hours later, a Pria bar. Three hours later, a lunch of beef enchilada, rice and a salad with regular dressing. Three hours later, a snack like fruit or a few cookies. Three hours later, dinner; salmon, rice, veggies, and three hours later, dessert, like chocolate mousse.

Diet, Exercise, and Eat Often
The principles of correct nutrition, appropriate exercise, and frequent eating are an effective strategy for losing weight. However the 3-Hour diet tries to be too popular at times. The book describes a method to pick appropriate portion sizes - rather then rigidly counting calories - but later goes on to restrict portion sizes to certain calories!

The by-line of the book also criticizes low-carb diets claiming that they do not work. This is a cheap shot as low-carb diets do work for some people (particularly those who are carbohydrate sensitive).

The 3-Hour Diet will be useful to many who are just beginning the journey of understanding nutrition and weight management - but it is only a beginning.

Many feel that the inclusion of so many processed foods is a sell-out - as healthy nutrition often includes only the most un-processed foods. Weight loss and nutrition are two separate but related issues. Fast food should always be a last-resort food - not a daily staple.

However for many people a diet like this is far more approachable than one that suddenly restricts food or calls for dramatic changes.

3 Hours to a Better Body?
The author makes some outrageous claims - such as "burn 2 pounds of fat per week, with belly fat first". Such a comment is completely false, as it is not possible to spot reduce body fat - it will burn off from all over the body, and is different for each person. Also, as is most weight loss diets, the body will eventually plateau - and many diets such as the 3-Hour diet seem to conveniently ignore this pattern.

The Three Hour Diet will be popular, but in the end offers very little in new science or nutrition.
