Intermediate Fasting Quotes

[A]s people are beginning to see that the sexes form in a certain sense a continuous group, so they are beginning to see that Love and Friendship which have been so often set apart from each other as things distinct are in reality closely related and shade imperceptibly into each other. Women are beginning to demand that Marriage shall mean Friendship as well as Passion; that a comrade-like Equality shall be included in the word Love; and it is recognised that from the one extreme of a 'Platonic' friendship (generally between persons of the same sex) up to the other extreme of passionate love (generally between persons of opposite sex) no hard and fast line can at any point be drawn effectively separating the different kinds of attachment. We know, in fact, of Friendships so romantic in sentiment that they verge into love; we know of Loves so intellectual and spiritual that they hardly dwell in the sphere of Passion.

You felt the burden of holding much material in memory, as you needed to keep track of where you were and of where you were going, while holding on to the intermediate result.

We normally avoid mental overload by dividing our tasks into multiple easy steps, committing intermediate results to long-term memory or to paper rather than to an easily overloaded working memory.

The cheapest orbit available is LEO (Low Earth Orbit). People often think that "orbit" means there's no gravity. This is incorrect. In fact, the International Space Station (which is in LEO right now) is usually around 250 miles high and experiences about 90% of the gravity you experience on Earth. So why do the astronauts float around like there's no gravity? Although they are pulled toward the Earth all the time, they always "miss" it. Think of it like this: Imagine you fire a cannonball from the top of a tower. If you fire it softly, the ball will go a little ways then fall to the ground. If you fire it incredibly fast, it will just fly off into space. But between falling right down and going off into space, there are a lot of intermediate regimes. For a given height, there is some speed that is slow enough that it can't leave Earth, but fast enough that you'll never plop to the ground. If you were ridong that cannonball, you'd be falling, because gravity is tugging you down. At the same time, because you're going so fast, you'd be able to see Earth's curve. As you move from a point on the globe in a straight line, Earth curves down and away from you, increasing your distance from the surface. At this particular speed, you have two balanced effects: Gravity wants you down low, but your speed keeps you up high. So you just keep going around and around. You "orbit.

To appreciate the asymmetry between the possibility effect and the certainty effect, imagine first that you have a 1% chance to win $1 million. You will know the outcome tomorrow. Now, imagine that you are almost certain to win $1 million, but there is a 1% chance that you will not. Again, you will learn the outcome tomorrow. The anxiety of the second situation appears to be more salient than the hope in the first. The certainty effect is also more striking than the possibility effect if the outcome is a surgical disaster rather than a financial gain. Compare the intensity with which you focus on the faint sliver of hope in an operation that is almost certain to be fatal, compared to the fear of a 1% risk. The combination of the certainty effect and possibility effects at the two ends of the probability scale is inevitably accompanied by inadequate sensitivity to intermediate probabilities. You can see that the range of probabilities between 5% and 95% is associated with a much smaller range of decision weights (from 13.2 to 79.3), about two-thirds as much as rationally expected. Neuroscientists have confirmed these observations, finding regions of the brain that respond to changes in the probability of winning a prize. The brain’s response to variations of probabilities is strikingly similar to the decision weights estimated from choices. Probabilities that are extremely low or high (below 1% or above 99%) are a special case. It is difficult to assign a unique decision weight to very rare events, because they are sometimes ignored altogether, effectively assigned a decision weight of zero. On the other hand, when you do not ignore the very rare events, you will certainly overweight them. Most of us spend very little time worrying about nuclear meltdowns or fantasizing about large inheritances from unknown relatives. However, when an unlikely event becomes the focus of attention, we will assign it much more weight than its probability deserves. Furthermore, people are almost completely insensitive to variations of risk among small probabilities. A cancer risk of 0.001% is not easily distinguished from a risk of 0.00001%, although the former would translate to 3,000 cancers for the population of the United States, and the latter to 30.

ApoB (Apolipoprotein B) Normal - 40-125 mg/dL Less than 100 mg/dL is considered desirable for low or intermediate risk individuals Less than 80 mg/dL is considered desirable for high risk individuals, such as those with cardiovascular disease or diabetes TRIGLYCERIDES Good - 149 mg/dL or lower Borderline - 150 to 199 mg/dL High - 200 mg/dL and above FASTING BLOOD GLUCOSE (after not eating for at least 8 hours) Normal - 70 to 100 mg/dL Pre-Diabetes Fasting Blood Glucose -101 to 126 mg/dL Pre-Diabetes 2 Hours Blood Glucose - 140 to 200 mg/dL Diabetes Fasting Blood Glucose - 126 mg/dL or higher Diabetes 2 hours Blood Glucose - over 200 mg/dL HA1C (tests average blood sugar level for past two to three months) Normal - Below 5.7 percent Prediabetes - 5.7 to 6.4 percent (high risk of developing diabetes) Diabetes - 6.5 percent BMI (Body Mass Index which is the percentage of body weight that comes from fat Underweight - Below 18.5 Normal - 18.5 to 24.9 Overweight - 25 to 29.9 Obese - 30 or higher HOMOCYSTEINE Optimal - 10 to 12 µmol/L) 13.4 <10.4µmol/L Normal - 4 to 15 µmol/L) Moderate - 15 to 30 µmol/L) Intermediate - 30 to 100 µmol/L) Severe - Greater than 100 µmol/L) CRP (C-Reactive Protein)

Para hablar con la gente usa su smartphone. Escribe frases en inglés en Google Translator. Las traduce al español y luego las repite. Así logra hacer algunas preguntas. Pero cuando le responden Brian no entiende nada. La gente en Argentina habla muy rápido. “How am I supposed to learn if everyone keeps talking so fast?”.

Because a Christian sometimes stops short of the Cross in his spiritual conflicts, he fails to defeat the enemy and remains unfruitful and unhappy, until by some special intervention of the great Restorer, he is again brought, in spirit, to that place where God first met him, and welcomed him in Jesus in the fulness of forgiveness and of peace. No intermediate experience, how truthful soever in its character, will meet his case. It is at the cross alone that we regain a thorough right mindedness about ourselves as well as about God. If we would glorify him, we must "hold fast the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end, "Heb 3:14. Arthur Pridham.

Because there are many levels in this gigantic video game, people pray to the beings on the lower and intermediate levels, as they are often easier to contact than the more exalted beings (for example, these lower and intermediate beings often respond to human and animal blood sacrifice, offerings of large amounts of gold or money, flagellation, fasting and other offerings of material goods such as flowers, food and incense. They hope that, by petitioning the beings on the intermediate level (saints, angels and archangels), their request will be transmitted to the Supreme Reality (the ultimate controller of the game). In other words, in reality people are asking the intermediate level of programmers to change the program. When people pray for a miracle, they are really praying that the computer code of one of the levels will change to give them what they want. They are trying to contact and influence the intermediate programmers when they pray.

Lipoproteins come in five species: VLDL, ILDL, LDL, HDL, and chylomicrons. The first four, from large to small, stand for Very Low, Intermediate, Low, and High Density Lipoprotein. All these originate in the liver. The odd one, the chylomicron, is constructed by the intestines while digesting a meal, and released directly into the bloodstream. As blood tests are performed after a 12 to 14-hour fast, almost all the chylomicrons are gone. Its life story is much like VLDL, but without the cholesterol.
