You and your friends have picked up on a popular debate. One
aspect of weight management that is vital to understand is that
we gain and lose weight over periods of time - weeks, months,
years - not hour by hour. This happens as we take in more
calories than we expend. Another critical fact of metabolism is
that our bodies do not stop working, even when we are sleeping!
Hearts are beating, blood is circulating, lungs are functioning,
brains are even working. This all takes energy - meaning we are
still burning calories.
There is no magic time after which the body stores fat. For
instance, if you eat the same exact meal at 6 p.m. or at 8 p.m.,
is one more caloric than the other?

The fourteenth-century anchoress known as Julian of Norwich
offered fervent prayers for a deeper understanding of Christ's
passion. The holy woman's petitions were answered with a series
of divine revelations that she called "showings." Her
mystic visions revealed Christ's sufferings with extreme
intensity, but they also confirmed God's constant love for
humanity and his infinite capacity for forgiveness.
Julian of Norwich's Revelations have had a lasting influence on
Christian thought. Written in immediate, compelling terms, her
experiences remain among the most original and accessible
expressions of medieval mysticism. This edition contains both the
short text - which is mainly an account of the
"showings" themselves and Julian's initial analysis of
their meaning - as well as the long text, completed some 20 years
later and offering daringly speculative interpretations.

As the United States raced against Russia to put a man in space,
NASA found untapped talent in a group of African-American female
mathematicians that served as the brains behind one of the
greatest operations in U.S. history. Based on the unbelievably
true life stories of three of these women, known as "human
computers", we follow these women as they quickly rose the
ranks of NASA alongside many of history's greatest minds
specifically tasked with calculating the momentous launch of
astronaut John Glenn into orbit, and guaranteeing his safe
return. Dorothy Vaughn, Mary Jackson, and Katherine Johnson
crossed all gender, race, and professional lines while their
brilliance and desire to dream big, beyond anything ever
accomplished before by the human race, firmly cemented them in
U.S. history as true American heroes
