Before you jump into deciding what to eat, you want to think about when to eat. I don’t mean going by the clock; I mean creating structure in your eating day, making sure you have at least three “eating intervals” each day. Eating intervals? You mean meals? No, I mean eating intervals. Creating structured eating requires thinking about the intervals between when you eat; it’s “anti – clock” eating. You don’t want to go too long without eating (more than four hours) or not wait at all between eating episodes (within an hour of the last one). You need to…

The text as a whole urges that mistaken conceptions both of the nature of rules and of philosophical investigation – with its associated determinacy – preclude a realistic understanding of sport: indeed, that such misconceptions dog the literature on sport. These ideas were explored in Part I. Further, both the decision-process of judges, umpires and referees and the overall value (to human kind, but intrinsically) of sport make sense once the moral imperative implicit in how sporting activities relate to the rules of those activities is recognized. This was considered in Part II. Moreover, there is an explanation – also…

This chapter contains an extended discussion of a response of the ethos position to the normativity of rule-following, although remaining some distance from engagement with sporting practicalities. Exploring the views of D’Agostino and Morgan allowed us to sketch two areas of primary divergence, based on two accounts of how the ethos legitimizes rule-following: ‘For D’Agostino, it is the interests of the institutionalized forces that presently frame our compliance or non-compliance with the rules’ (Morgan 1994: 226). By contrast, Morgan’s own account gave more weight to a justificatory force here, by appealing to ‘the distinctive rationality and the array of goods…

To make the discussion above a little more specific, we can turn to two arguments designed to explain why a class of judgements is (necessarily) subjective in sense 1 above.2 94 Aesthetic sports, publicity and judgement calls The argument from personal character This kind of argument might be summarized as follows: ‘My judgements depend on my impressions, coming through my senses: therefore they are subjective.’ Our reply should make two points. Visit This Site: 7Starhd First, if sound, this argument would make all judgements (even those by scientists) subjective, contrary to our ground rule (see p. 93). Second, the argument…

When it comes to trigger foods, everyone has their own. There is never any hesitation when I’m asked that question. For me, it’s pistachio nuts. The difference between a trigger food and one that you simply like a lot is that, with a trigger food, it ’ s too tough to eat just a little. As most people describe it, “Once I start eating, I can’t stop.” If c03.indd 41 10/22/09 10:13:36 AM 42 The Real You Diet it ’ s so easy to identify your trigger foods, why is it so hard to avoid them? Because we don’t establish…

To estimate the potential economic impact of the Internet of Things across economies in 2025, we have sized applications in nine settings. We estimate impact by examining applications that exist today, are evolving, or are likely to have significant adoption in 2025. Read More About: Jio Rockers We measure both direct financial impact, such as potential savings from improved machine utilization, and non-financial factors, such as consumer time saved or improved health. We translate these non-financial impacts into economic value by gauging the value of time saved, improved health, extended life spans, etc. It should be noted that these estimates…

By 1996, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) had already developed the basics for multimedia on the Internet (see Chapter 14, “SIP Conferencing”) in the Multi-Party, Multimedia Working Group. Two proposals, the Simple Conference Invitation Protocol (SCIP) by Henning Schulzrinne and the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) by Mark Handley, were announced and later merged to form Session Initiation Protocol. The new protocol also preserved the HTTP orientation from the initial SCIP proposal that later proved to be crucial to the merging of IP communications on the Internet. Schulzrinne focused on the continuing development of SIP with the objective of “re-engineering…

Best’s presentation of the purposive/aesthetic contrast emphasizes the nature of the goal or target of the sport: that for the purposive it is, and for the aesthetic is not, independent of the manner of achieving that goal or target, as long as it is within the rules. For us, the emphasis falls on the manner of awarding points (and so on): is it simply a matter of determining whether, say, the ball entered the net, or of how far was thrown or jumped, or (again) how long a time was taken to run a certain distance (or, more likely, which…

The Internet has established itself as the most adequate platform for multimedia communications and for the delivery of streaming multimedia content. Though signaling (the topic of this book) is most critical, it is not the only protocol required for multimedia communications. Internet standards feature a pretty clean breakdown of functionality, and each function is performed by one single protocol. Duplication of functions on two or more protocols is carefully avoided so that different implementations can have only one single way of being standard-compliant. Table 2.1 shows the key standard Internet multimedia protocols. The complete list is, however, bigger that what…

The following information relates to the performance of a solar panel when connected to an electric motor. Its main purpose is to assist in explaining the importance of selecting the correct gear ratio to suit the prevailing light conditions. NOTE: The explanation is somewhat simplistic so the basic ideas can be understood more easily. See appropriate Texts for complete and accurate descriptions. * PANEL PERFORMANCE (SILICON CELLS) The solar panel produces electricity from the energy in the light which falls on it. The current it produces varies directly with the intensity of the light which falls on it. Low light…
