CARB LOAD You CAN eat your favourite carbs and
still lose weight − thanks to clever hack
(1º§) CRAVING carbs but worried they won't help you hit
your weight loss goals? Well, think again - pasta and
potatoes don't have to be off the menu, especially thanks
to one nifty trick. It all comes down to how you serve and
eat them. Instead of piping hot pasta and steaming
potatoes, consider letting your carbs cool right down
before you eat them. Why? Because cold carbs have a
lower glycaemic index.
(2º§) Personal trainer Nick Mitchell, the founder of
Ultimate Performance, says: "Foods with a lower
glycaemic index can help you lose weight because they
make you feel full for longer. "They can also stop the
sharp rise and fall of blood sugar levels that result in
hunger pangs, which can lead to raiding the cupboard,
binge eating and weight gain."
(3º§) Packing your lunch for work? Cook your carbs the
night before and eat them cold the next day. Cold pasta
or rice salad with lots of veggies, or cold potato salad with
creme fraiche rather than mayonnaise, and lots of herbs,
are ideal. Some carbs, including beans and potatoes, are
also a great source of resistant starch.
(4º§) This kind of starch resists digestion, and acts as a
fibre, offering lots of health benefits including providing
your gut with prebiotics (great for the good bacteria in
your gut). It's also thought it can help reduce
inflammation in the body and may help prevent
colon/bowel cancer and IBS. Plus, it can help you shed
weight too, by helping you feel fuller for longer. Handily,
you can boost the resistant starch in your carbs by eating
them cold, and this can help you avoid blood sugar
spikes too.
(5º§) Carbs often get criticised and sidelined as
inherently 'bad', but we really shouldn't demonise them -
or food in general. Registered dietitian Megan Hilbert,
explains that carbs are essential to our health and
wellbeing: "In fact, they are the most important source of
energy for our bodies." She says: "They provide fuel for
the nervous system, our organs, especially the brain, and
muscle tissue.
(6º§) "Carbs have gotten a bad rap over the years but
they are important for a ton of functions in the body, like
providing a quick source of energy for workouts, fuelling
the brain which accounts for 20 per cent of our energy
needs, and powering cells in the body to keep us going."
So do dodge chips where you can, but when it comes to
healthy whole carbs, like brown rice, wholegrains, oats
and beans, eat up!

Consider the statements below:
I. Representations and warranties are not inextricably linked. Some parties, as a matter of principle, refuse to take fraud risk (read punitive damages), and will not make representations, only warranties.
II. Representations, if shown to be false, and if the injured party knew them to be false, can give cause for the rescission of the agreement and the party making the representation can be sued for fraud.
III. A plaintiff may be able to win a breach of warranty claim when it would have lost a claim for fraudulent misrepresentation because it could not prove that the defendant knew the representation to be false.

Professional-Client Relationships: Rethinking Confidentiality, Harm, and Journalists’ Public Health Duties by Renita
Coleman, Louisiana State University; Thomas May, Medical
College of Wisconsin
Journalists seldom consider the layers of those affected
by their actions; third parties such as families, children, and even
people unlucky enough to be in the wrong place at the wrong
time. This paper argues for consideration of the broader group,
considering a range of options available for doing their duty to
inform the public while also minimizing harm to others.
Journalists might compare themselves with other professions
that have similar roles; anthropologists, for one on such issues
as confidentiality and disclosure. A broader lesson is the value
of applying different views, theoretical frameworks, and starting
points to the ethical issues in any profession.

Malnutrition is directly responsible for 300,000 deaths per year in children younger than 5 years in developing countries and contributes indirectly to over half the deaths in childhood worldwide.
The adverse effects of malnutrition include physical and developmental manifestations. Poor weight gain and slowing of linear growth occur. Impairment of immunologic functions in these ....(16)... mimics those observed in children with AIDS, predisposing them to opportunistic and other typical childhood infections. Children who are chronically malnourished exhibit behavioral changes, including irritability, apathy and decreased social responsiveness, anxiety, and attention deficits. In addition, infants and young children who have malnutrition frequently demonstrate developmental delay or permanent cognitive deficits. The degree of delay and deficit depends on the severity and duration of nutritional compromise and the age at which malnutrition occurs. In general, nutritional insults at younger ages will have worse outcomes. ...(17)... death from malnutrition in the United States is rare, in developing countries, more than 50% of the 10 million deaths each year are either directly or indirectly secondary to malnutrition in children younger than 5 years.
Children are most vulnerable to the effects of malnutrition in infancy and early childhood. Premature infants have special nutritional needs that are not met with traditional feeding recommendations; they require fortified human milk or specially designed preterm formula until later in infancy. Children are susceptible to malnutrition for differing reasons. During adolescence, self-imposed dietary restrictions contribute to the incidence of nutritional deficiencies.
