Researchers from the British Psychological Society released a report last week challenging stereotypes on why people are obese. The report states that "obesity is not simply down to an individual’s lack of willpower." The report claims there are a number of circumstances, some of which beyond a person's control, for becoming obese. "The people who are most likely to be an unhealthy weight are those who have a high genetic risk of developing obesity and whose lives are also shaped by work, school and social environments that promote overeating and inactivity," the BPS report says. "People who live in deprived areas often experience high levels of stress, including major life challenges and trauma, often their neighborhoods offer few opportunities and incentives for physical activity and options for accessing affordable healthy food are limited.""Research evidence points strongly to genes being a major part of the explanation for why some people are more susceptible to becoming obese than others," the BPS report continues.The report comes as 40 percent of American adults are considered obese, according to CDC figures.Fat shaming does not workThree weeks ago, late night comedian Bill Maher gave a controversial dialog on obesity, which he admitted was "fat shaming." "Fat shaming doesn’t need to end it needs to make a comeback," he said. Maher added, "Being fat isn’t a birth defect. Nobody comes out of the womb needing to buy two seats on the airplane. Here it is in a nutshell from the New York Times: Poor Diet is the Leading Cause of Mortality in the United States. Everyone knows that obesity is linked to terrible conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and virginity.”Maher was criticized by some, including fellow late night comic James Corden. "“There’s a common and insulting misconception that fat people are stupid and lazy, and we’re not. We know that being overweight isn’t good for us and I’ve struggled my entire life trying to manage my weight and I suck at it. I’ve had good days and bad months," Corden said. According to the BPS research, fat shaming does not work. "Shame does not motivate people or help them to make sustainable changes to their lives. In fact, weight stigma perpetuates a cycle of shame and weight gain at all levels of obesity. As a person’s Body Mass Index (BMI) increases, so does their perception of discrimination towards them because of their weight," the study says.To read the full report, click 2475

So you've heard of a blood moon, and maybe even a blue moon, but what about a black moon?The phenomenon is occurring again in North America on July 31 -- the first one since 2016. The rest of the world will have to wait until August 30.But, what does this even mean? Why is it important? Here's everything you need to know about this astronomical event.Wait, what is black moon?A black moon is basically the second 427

TAMPA, Fla. – A great white shark that captured the attention of both marine wildlife experts and Floridians over the last couple of years appears to be making a return.The 12-foot 5-inch 1,668 pound female white shark named “Miss Costa” was pinged a little over 100 miles off the coast of Tampa, according to research organization OCEARCH.Miss Costa was previously tagged in the Gulf of Mexico near Tampa a little over a year ago. Between September 2016 and New Year’s Day 2018, OCEARCH said Miss Costa had traveled over 5,600 miles. During that time period, she had made her way from Massachusetts to as far south as Key West. 641

Rick Brown walks through Kenai Fjords National Park to a place where climate change's impact is hard to miss. “The changes to us have been bang, bang, bang," Brown says. "Every year it’s a different year."As the years have gone on, the walk to Exit Glacier has become longer because it's melting away. Exit Glacier is one of the smaller glaciers in the park. It's popular with tourists because it's easy to get to. It's a short walk from where they park. Signs mark the path people take to get to the glacier; the dates on the signs range from the early 1900s to 2010. The signs mark where the glacier once was and where it's melted to. "If this doesn’t convince you that things are changing, then there is no use in trying to even convince you," Brown says.Brown owns Adventure 60 North. He takes people on tours and hikes around the glacier. It's a job in glacier tourism that often has him facing questions about climate change. "I tell them what I see, I don’t know the reason why it’s happening," he says. His answer isn't about politics but what's become the reality here."I don’t know if it's humans or nature or naturally caused. I think it’s both, and that's my opinion and I kind of leave it at that," Brown says."I've lived in Alaska for almost 50 years. Anyone who has lived here a long time has seen the weather change," says Doug Capra.Capra is a former park ranger and local historian in tiny Seward, Alaska. “We’ve seen winters come later, springs come earlier,” Capra says. For years, he's documented Alaska's changing climate and Exit Glacier's retreat.“My concern is the denial. I write history and I have great admiration for human ingenuity," Capra says. "Human beings have survived a lot of things. It’s the questions of how we’re going to do it. It’s a question of will."Rick knows some people can't be convinced of the impact climate change is having.“Some people come here with a view that they’ve adopted and they’re not going to change no matter what you tell them," Brown says. "So I don’t try. I’m the old guy out here, I know what I'm seeing."He says winters don't see the snow they did when he first became a guide in Alaska in the '90s. He no longer does snowshoeing and ice hiking tours in the winter because of the lack of snow.“It’s changed our business," he says. "I don’t know if it’s hurt it. I would say we’ve adapted. And as far as I know, the key to surviving here is adapting."Time may be running out for Exit Glacier. “I would say, probably, I don’t know ... there have been guesses of ten, five years?” he says.According to the United States Geological Survey, 68.7% earth's freshwater is kept in ice caps and glaciers, meaning their retreat isn't just an Alaskan concern or one Brown feels should be left for the future. "It's real folks," Brown says. "Change is happening. Regardless of what’s causing it. We need to get prepared to adapt to deal with the change." 2922

Right now, nearly 2 million people are living with limb loss in the United States. But new technology is bringing hope, with a prosthetic that responds to what a person is thinking. Whether it's picking out socks or picking up LEGO blocks, Mario Gasbarro seems to be doing it all just fine, using what his kids affectionately call his “robot arm.” “They seem to enjoy it more than my old arm,” Gasbarro jokes. At just 34 years old, Gasbarro’s doctors told him the lump that had been growing on his elbow was a malignant tumor. As it grew, his doctors determined amputation was his best option. “I don't need my left arm to be able to love my kids and love my wife and to be there for them, so that was always a priority,” Gasbarro says. Now, he’s living with this prosthesis, which moves based on how he thinks and moves his muscles. “I want to open my hand. I think, ‘OK, open my hand and move the muscles to open my hand,’ and I just need to replicate that muscle movement each time I want to try to open my hand,” Gasbarro says.Dr. David Schnur with Presbyterian/ St. Luke’s Medical Center worked with Gasbarro through the process. “Instead of the patient learning the prosthesis, the prosthesis really learns the patient,” Dr. Schnur describes of the prosthetic arm. Through a process called targeted muscle reinnervation, Dr. Schnur attached the nerves from Gasbarro’s forearm that power the hand to muscles in his elbow. “And then what happens is when Mario thinks about closing his hand, instead of causing a muscle to fire down his forearm, it causes a muscle to fire up in his in his biceps,” Dr. Schnur describes. Those signals are then picked up by his prothesis through pattern recognition. “He contracts the muscles. That makes sense for him to close the hand and the computer on the prostheses picks that up and is then able to convert that specific signal into a hand closed,” Dr. Schnur says. Gasbarro says it's not second nature just yet, but he's getting there with practice.“I’ve never felt limited, or like, I’m not able to do anything,” Gasbarro says. 2084
