TEXTO:

For the first time in a century, the global population of tigers has increased. In 1900, there were
approximately 100,000 tigers throughout Asia, a number that plummeted to 3,200 by 2010. Scientists now
say the trend has changed. They estimate that the population has climbed to just under 3,900. The
increases have been seen in India, Russia, Nepal and Bhutan. Countries with tigers set a goal of doubling
[5] tiger populations by 2022, and research suggests there is enough habitat left to accommodate this growth,
if the animals are properly protected. The increase is due in part to improved protections against poaching
in some areas, although that remains an ever-present threat.

    In January, two astronomers reported new evidence of a massive, shadowy Planet Nine tracing the outer limits of the solar system. It has a mass 10 times that of the Earth, and its orbit takes it 20 times farther from the sun, on average, than Neptune. The catch? Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown of Caltech haven’t seen it — they inferred its existence from the behavior of smaller objects nearby that appear to be subject to its gravitational pull. Now the search is on. Brown predicts astronomers will find it by 2018.

     Fitness trackers are popular accessories for
people who want to follow their steps and sleep,
but so far research suggests that they are not
especially good at helping people lose weight. In
[5] a 2016 study, researchers followed 470 people
who were trying to lose weight for two years.
People were split into groups and asked to either
follow a low-calorie diet, increase their physical
activity and attend group counseling, or to follow
[10] the same regimen but add wearable technology
six months in.
    People using wearables lost 7.7 pounds on
average, but the people who weren’t using them
lost an average of 13 pounds. As wearables
15 continue to advance, they may become more
useful for weight loss, but if you’re on the fence
about buying one, you can probably save your
money

TEXTO:

 

    A person’s success or failure at weight loss is not a reflection of their willpower reserve. There are many factors—genetic, environmental and otherwise—that play into a person’s size, and a growing body of research shows that when people lose weight, biological factors come into play, making it harder for them to keep weight off after it’s gone.

 [5]   Kevin Hall, a scientist at the National Institutes of Health, has found that when a person loses a substantial amount of weight, their metabolism gets out of whack and their appetite increases proportionally, causing them to eat about 100 calories more for every two pounds lost. While that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to keep weight off in the long term, it does mean that struggling to do so is by no means a reflection of willpower, motivation or work ethic.
