Frequent eating tied to less weight gain in girls: study
REUTERS - Girls who ate frequent meals and snacks put on less weight and gained less on their waistlines over a decade than those who only ate a couple of times a day, according to a U.S. study.
Researchers, who tracked more than 2,000 girls for the study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, said that smaller, more frequent meals and snacks may have kept girls satisfied for longer, preventing them from over-eating.

For Nathan Englander, Sunday Is a Day to Roam and Write - NYTimes.com
During the week, Nathan Englander, the novelist, short-story writer and soon-to-be playwright, is hypersocial, meeting friends for dinner on a nightly basis. But Sundays are mostly about quality time with his girlfriend, Rachel Silver, who is working on her Ph.D. in educational policy studies, and their gangly puppy, Calli, a Labrador retriever-boxer mix. Mr. Englander, 42, is having a big year professionally: His short-story collection “What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank” will be published by Knopf this week, and his first play, “The Twenty-Seventh Man,” will open at thePublic Theater in November. Mr. Englander, a former Upper West Sider who moved to Brooklyn in 2010, spends Sundays with Ms. Silver roaming Fort Greene and Clinton Hill, where they share an apartment.
Hey! Nathan (and his dog) are in the Times!

How to Hide from Machines (CV Dazzle)
CV Dazzle uses highly stylized makeup and hair styling to confuse and thwart face-detection computer vision (CV) systems.
As camouflage, this facial markup works to protect against automated face detection and recognition systems by altering the contrast and spatial relationship of key facial features.
When disrupting face-detection it is advisable to avoid wearing makeup that enhances facial features. For example, emphasizing the darkness around the eyes with eye shadow or eyeliner would make your face more visible to face detection algorithms. In the animal kingdom, this inverse effect is known as countershading. A similar effect can be achieved by creating a partial inverse that targets key areas of the face. For example, darkening or obscuring areas that normally appear light, such as the nose bridge area or the upper cheek. Areas that vary widely, such where facial hair grows, are lower priority.
The looks shown here were also tested and validated against Facebook’s PhotoTagger, Google’s Picasa, and eblearn.Results will vary.
Dazzle is an updated version of the original razzle dazzle camouflage from WWI, which was used to protect warships from submarine attacks.
