SAT 19:00 Rick Stein's Long Weekends (b082wf36)
Rick Stein visits Lisbon on the banks of the River Tagus, a city in love with its seafood and possibly the best custard tarts in the world. The culinary effects of Portugal's historic explorations are still seen in its dishes with hints of cinnamon and freshly chopped coriander from the east, and tomatoes and chillies from the Americas.
Rick is inspired to cook the city's favourite snack - salt cod fritters, delicious almond tart and pork with clams, a favourite dish throughout Portugal. With seafood at the forefront of his mind, he makes sure he arrives just in time for Lisbon's famous St Anthony's Day parade and sardine festival.
SAT 20:00 South Pacific (b00kwdqr)
Ocean of Volcanoes
Witness the birth, growth and death of an island in the greatest ocean on Earth. Millions of years are condensed into an hour revealing unforgettable images of an erupting underwater volcano; rivers of lava exploding below the waves; roads and houses buried by molten rivers of rock. From these violent beginnings emerge coral reefs of unparalleled richness, supporting large groups of grey reef sharks and giant manta rays.
The rising lands of the South Pacific have also given life to some very strange creatures, from the vampire bug that thrives in tropical snow, and the megapode, a bird that uses volcanic springs to incubate its eggs, to vast swarms of jellyfish trapped forever by a coral mountain. This is the Pacific as you've never seen it before.

2005-06 Shorts
West Coast Otters
A charming portrait of two otters, a mother and daughter who are inseparable, living on the idyllic west coast of Scotland.

As the cub faces the dangers of her first Scottish winter, Mum has to work hard to make sure that both survive.
SUN 19:10 SheBelieves Cup (m000g6lq)
Japan v England – Second Half
Kelly Somers introduces live coverage as England continue their defence of the SheBelieves Cup against Japan, in Harrison, New Jersey.
England have won their last two matches against 2011 world champions Japan. Phil Neville's side beat them 3-0 in their final game of the 2019 SheBelieves tournament to seal the title, while they also claimed a 2-0 victory in their group game against Japan in last year's World Cup to progress to the knockout stage. Ellen White scored both goals that day.
Japan reached the last 16 of last year's World Cup, where they lost to eventual finalists the Netherlands.
SUN 20:30 Bloody Queens: Elizabeth and Mary (b06wdzd1)
Of all the dangers Elizabeth I had to survive - the Spanish Armada, a Catholic continent plotting against her incessantly, restless nobles uneasy at serving a queen who refused to marry - none was so personally intense as her rivalry with another woman - her cousin and fellow queen, Mary, Queen of Scots. This was her longest, most gruelling battle - lasting over two decades, it threatened to tear apart both Elizabeth and her kingdom. In the end, it would force her to make the hardest decision of her life.
The two queens stared across the ultimate divides of their time: Protestant and Catholic, Tudor and Stuart, English and Scottish. Their fascination with one another grew into the greatest queenly face-off in our entire history. And yet, in 26 years of mutual obsession, they never actually met. Their confrontation was carried out through letters - a war of words so heartfelt and revealing that the two queens' passions can still be felt.
For the first time on television, this chronicle of love turned to hatred, of trust betrayed by plot and bloodshed, is dramatised purely from the original words of the two queens and their courtiers. Expert historians examine, interpret and argue over the monarchs' motives for their 'duel to the death' - for in the end only one queen could survive such emotional combat.
SUN 21:30 Storyville (m000b8nd)
Maiden: War on the Waves
The inspirational story of how Tracy Edwards, a 24-year-old cook on charter boats, became the skipper of the first all-female crew to enter the Whitbread Round the World Race in 1989.
Tracy's dream was opposed on all sides: her male competitors thought an all-women crew would never make it, the chauvinistic yachting press took bets on her failing, and potential sponsors rejected her, fearing the girls would die at sea and generate bad publicity.
Tracy, however, refused to give up: she remortgaged her home and bought a second-hand boat, putting everything on the line to ensure the team made it to the starting line. With the support of her remarkable crew, she went on to shock the yachting world and prove that women are the equal of men.
SUN 23:00 What Do Artists Do All Day? (b07l57yy)
Shirley Hughes
For over five decades, Shirley Hughes has been entertaining young children with her lovingly illustrated picture books. From the adventures of Alfie to the stories of Dave and his favourite toy Dogger, Shirley has created some of our most popular children's books. In 2007, Dogger was voted the nation's all-time favourite illustrated children's book and, aged 89, Shirley shows no signs of slowing down.
This programme sees Shirley working on the final page of her latest Alfie book, discussing her love of illustrating, the challenges of coming up with new ideas, and why she has no plans to retire.

SUN 00:15 Unsung Heroines: Danielle de Niese on the Lost World of Female Composers (b0b6znwz)
Danielle de Niese explores the lives and works of five female composers - from the Middle Ages to the late 20th century - who were famous in their lifetimes, but whose work was then forgotten.
Western classical music has traditionally been seen as a procession of male geniuses, but the truth is that women have always composed. Hildegard of Bingen, Francesca Caccini, Clara Schumann, Florence Price and Elizabeth Maconchy - all these women battled to fulfil their ambitions and overcome the obstacles that society placed in their way. They then disappeared into obscurity, and only some have found recognition again.
SUN 01:15 Darcey Bussell: Looking for Margot (b0868lnk)
Margot Fonteyn has inspired generations of ballerinas. She was beautiful, brilliant, talented and never put a foot wrong on stage. Her late flowering partnering with a much younger man, Rudolf Nureyev, created the most dazzling ballet partnership in history.
And yet behind the scenes, as Darcey Bussell discovers, Margot's life was marked by tragedy and disappointment. She barely knew her father and was dominated by her well-meaning, yet fiercely ambitious, mother. She couldn't find love and never had children. And when she finally did marry, to a man she loved from afar for many years, he turned out to be very different from what she expected: a hero to his people, but not always to his wife.
Darcey goes behind the scenes at the Royal Opera House and the Royal Ballet, and travels from London to New York and Panama looking for Margot. She finds how Margot lost out in love, got drawn into a failed foreign revolution, danced on for far too long and died alone and in poverty, miles from home. Along the way, Darcey speaks to many people who have not spoken out before about Margot. In the end, Darcey learns that by following her heart, Margot did find a kind of happiness, even though it came at a very high price.
SUN 02:15 Kiri Te Kanawa at the BBC (b08h918x)
The charismatic New Zealand soprano Dame Kiri Te Kanawa looks back at her life in song through forty years of classic performances from the BBC archives, from her first TV performance on The Harry Secombe Show in 1971 to her appearances on Top of the Pops to sing the rugby anthem World in Union in 1991, plus performances from the Last Night of the Proms and Terry Wogan's chat show.
Dame Kiri's dramatic and operatic skills are captured in the Royal Opera's production of Puccini's Manon, she describes working with Leonard Bernstein, Georg Solti and on Paul McCartney's Liverpool Oratorio, and she recalls the royal wedding in 1981 at which she sang Handel's Let the Bright Seraphim to a global TV audience of 700 million.
There's documentary footage of the house where Kiri grew up in New Zealand (now a car park), she vividly evokes the East End of London, where she studied as a student when she first came to London, and we see her goofing around on the golf course with Placido Domingo.
As Dame Kiri says in her candid new interview for this programme in which she reflects on her BBC appearances, "If I look back what you have is snippets of my life, I suppose.".
MON 19:00 Beyond 100 Days (m000g6mg)
Katty Kay in Washington and Christian Fraser in London report on the events that are shaping the world.
MON 19:30 Francesco's Mediterranean Voyage (b00csp3w)
The Cyclades
Francesco da Mosto continues his sea tour around the Mediterranean from Venice to Istanbul by visiting the magical, mystical Greek islands known as the Cyclades.
First stop is the most sacred island of all, Delos, the birthplace of the god Apollo. Francesco encounters the lions of Delos and the great phalli of Dionysus.
On Tinos, a place of miracle and pilgrimage, he meets a woman who crawls on her hands and knees for a kilometre uphill to give thanks to the Virgin Mary for the recovery of her sick husband.
The island of Naxos was a key port for the Venetian empire and even the houses feel Italian - a home-from-home for the travel-weary Francesco, who enjoys the island's traditional and very strong liqueur.
After a spot of octopus hunting, Francesco arrives at the great sunken, flooded volcano of Santorini which boasts a civilisation older than the Classical world and the best sunset in Greece.
MON 20:00 Dynasties (p06mvpsw)
In Senegal, west Africa, live a group of chimpanzees led by an alpha male named David. He has already been alpha for three years - a time when leaders here are usually overthrown. To make matters worse, David has no allies - no-one to help him defend his leadership. As the dry season sets in, the group are forced closer together to survive. But David is now surrounded by rivals who all want his crown and are prepared to kill him for it.
David faces brutal battles, has his world engulfed in flames and has to pull off an extraordinary act of deception. In a story of power and politics, can David overcome the threats to his leadership and hold on to the alpha position long enough to sire a possible future heir to his throne?
MON 21:00 Age of the Image (m000g6mj)
James Fox explores how mass communication and new technology helped 20th-century image-makers transform society, as films, photographs, TV, art and advertising all became weapons in the ideological battles of the age.
James tells the story of Marlene Dietrich and Leni Riefenstahl, who each used cinema to pursue very different visions of power and freedom. We discover how Jewish comic book artists in New York created superheroes as their act of resistance to the Nazi threat. And we find out why a Muhammad Ali magazine cover is one of the most powerful political images of the last century.
In the UK he reveals how Picture Post photographers and directors such as Ken Loach empowered the lives of ordinary people through a new style of film-making and reportage. Travelling from the Normandy beaches where Robert Capa took his famous D-Day photographs to the Nasa control room that first witnessed live images from the moon landings, it's an exhilarating look at how image-makers discovered the power to influence and change our lives.
MON 22:00 Suffragettes with Lucy Worsley (b0b5y4zg)
2018 marks 100 years since the first women over the age of 30, who owned property, were allowed to vote in the UK. The fight for the vote was about much more than just the Pankhurst family or Emily Davison's fateful collision with the king's horse. In this film, Lucy is at the heart of the drama, alongside a group of less well known, but equally astonishing, young working-class suffragettes who decided to go against every rule and expectation that Edwardian society had about them.
Lucy explores the actions of these women as their campaign becomes more and more dangerous, while their own words are delivered in simple but strikingly emotive pieces of dramatised testimony. Lucy also tells this story from a range of iconic original locations, from the Houses of Parliament and 10 Downing Street to the Savoy Hotel, and has access to an amazing range of artefacts, from hunger-striking medals to defused bombs and private letters between the government and the press.
In this Edwardian history drama, Lucy and her group of suffragettes from the Women's Social Political Union reveal what life was like for these young women, as she follows the trail of increasingly illegal and dangerous acts they would end up committing. For while they would start with peaceful protests, but they would go from to obstruction to vandalism and finally to arson and bomb making.
Lucy investigates what drove them to break the law, to the prison conditions they experienced, including violent force feedings and the subsequent radicalisation of these women that occurred, driving them to more and more extreme actions. Lucy looks at the ways in which the press responded to the suffragettes and their own use of PR and branding to counteract the negative portrayals - from WSPU postcards to pennants and exhibitions.
The decisive and largely negative role that members of Parliament played is unpacked, as they would throw out numerous attempts to give women the vote. The role of the police is explored, both in the ways in which the suffragettes' demonstrations were handled and the covert and sometimes violent tactics that were used against them.
As the actions of the suffragettes became increasingly extreme, it would take a world-changing event to stop their campaign in its tracks and allow some form of equality at the ballot box.
MON 23:30 Art of France (b08f1bw0)
This Is the Modern World
In the final episode, Andrew begins with the impressionists. He plunges into one of the most wildly creative periods in the history of art, when France was changing at a rapid pace and angry young artists would reinvent how to paint, finding their muses in the bars, brothels and cabarets of belle epoque Paris and turning the world of art on its head. Monet, Degas and friends launched a febrile conversation about the role of painting in the modern world that would pave the way for just about every modern art movement of note, from the cubists to the Fauves, from the surrealists to the existentialists and from conceptual artists to the abstract expressionists.
MON 00:30 Britain's Outlaws: Highwaymen, Pirates and Rogues (b06rfl46)
Few figures in British history have captured the popular imagination as much as the outlaw. From gentleman highwaymen, via swashbuckling pirates to elusive urban thieves and rogues, the brazen escapades and the flamboyance of the outlaw made them the anti-hero of their time - feared by the rich, admired by the poor and celebrated by writers and artists.
In this three-part series, historian Dr Sam Willis travels the open roads, the high seas and urban alleyways to explore Britain's 17th and 18th-century underworld of highwaymen, pirates and rogues, bringing the great age of the British outlaw vividly to life.
Sam shows that, far from being 'outsiders', outlaws were very much a product of their time, shaped by powerful national events. In each episode, he focuses not just on a particular type of outlaw, but a particular era. The series as a whole offers a chronological portrait of the changing face of crime in the 17th and 18th centuries.
In the final episode, Sam looks at urban crime, fraud and corruption in the 18th century, uncovering a fascinating rogues' gallery of charmers, fraudsters and villains. Charmers like thief and serial escaper Jack Sheppard, so notorious that almost a quarter of a million people turned up to witness his hanging. Almost as controversial in her lifetime was Mary Toft, a fraudster who managed to convince no less than King George I and his surgeon that she had given birth to rabbits, making her, perhaps, the original 'con' artist.
MON 01:30 Rude Britannia (b00sss1g)
You Never Had It So Rude
The final part of a series exploring British traditions of satire and bawdy humour brings the story of a naughty nation up to date and explores how a mass democracy of rude emerged, beginning with the 1960s revolutions and continuing with the today's controversies.
There is a look at how a tradition of rude cartooning came back to life, as cartoonists draw the iconic political figures of the last 50 years: Gerald Scarfe captures Harold Macmillan, Steve Bell does Margaret Thatcher and Martin Rowson depicts Tony Blair.
The rude comic art of Viz is revealed in the characters of Sid the Sexist and the Fat Slags, and the rude theatre of Joe Orton, the rude radio of Round the Horne and the hippy rudeness of underground magazine Oz are also investigated.
And the history of rude television is traced from Till Death Us Do Part to Little Britain via Spitting Image. Finally, there is a look at how rude comedy begins to be seen as offensive in sexist and racist ways.
TUE 19:00 Beyond 100 Days (m000g6mb)
TUE 19:30 Gareth Edwards' Great Welsh Adventure (m0009hyp)
Gareth Edwards, once voted the greatest rugby player of all time, is not quite so coordinated when put in charge of a seventy-foot narrowboat. Now in his 70s, the rugby legend is busier than ever and constantly racing from one thing to the next. Which is why his wife, childhood sweetheart Maureen, has determined he needs to chill out more. She's hatched a plan to whisk him away to explore the four Welsh canals. As no narrowboat is allowed to go more than three miles an hour, she figures that exploring the Welsh canals is the one way to finally get him to relax. But the plan is not entirely successful as Gareth's stress levels go through the roof once he is in charge of his narrowboat. Even though everything around them happens slowly, avoiding hitting obstacles along the way proves no easy feat. Maureen, meanwhile, has some previous experience of driving a barge so knows the perils but also struggles when she jumps in the driving seat. After a pub lunch, Gareth and Maureen return to find their boat has drifted off and blocked the entire canal.
Somehow, Wales's much-loved couple still find time to appreciate the breathtaking scenery. The Llangollen canal is one of the most scenic canals in Britain, with stunning landscapes and the 300m long Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. The aqueduct was designed by Thomas Telford in 1795 and carries the canal over the River Dee on 19 vast arches. In its day it was radical new technology. Even now it's not for the faint-hearted, and a good head for heights is needed before setting out to cross the 200-year-old structure.
Gareth takes an opportunity to catch up with an old friend who lives near the canal. Dai Davies was goalkeeper for Wales between 1969 and 1987, but he and Gareth go back further than that. While young men, still dreaming of sporting success, they were flatmates. Now Dai has left international sporting success behind him to focus on alternative therapies. Maureen hopes Dai will finally manage to slow Gareth down. Even if she doesn't succeed, this warm and funny duo will have still enjoyed some of the best landscapes you can imagine on this spectacular route.
TUE 20:00 Timeshift (b06jnzjx)
The People's Liners - Britain's Lost Pleasure Fleets
Timeshift casts off for a colourful voyage of 'high teas on the high seas' in the company of passengers and crew of the vintage steamers which were once a common sight on the rivers and coastal waters around Britain.
Far more than a means of transport, these steamers attracted a devoted following, treating their passengers, whatever their pocket, to the adventure and trappings of an ocean voyage whilst actually rarely venturing out of sight of land. A highlight of the great British seaside holiday from the 1820s until the early 1960s - and open to all - they were 'the people's liners'.
TUE 21:00 Ian Hislop's Olden Days (b040rqjm)
Heroes for All Times
Ian Hislop explores perhaps the most distinctive, peculiar and deep-seated trait of the British, our obsession with the past. Over three films he reveals how and why, throughout our history, we have continually plundered 'the olden days' to make sense of and shape the present.
This opening episode reveals how, ever since 1066, we have harked back to the Dark Ages. In particular, Ian turns his gaze on two of our most inspiring kings - King Arthur and King Alfred - one quite possibly entirely fictional, the other entirely historical, and yet each the stuff of legend.
On the trail of legendary King Arthur, Ian visits Tintagel Castle, the fantastic Round Table at Winchester and even the sacred 'burial place' of Arthur and Guinevere at Glastonbury Abbey. He finds out how this storybook king has changed, from wild Celtic warlord to chivalric hero; from piously questing king to national totem of Victorian Wales. Ian also discovers why the king of Camelot inspired Henry VIII as much as today's New Age druids.
King Alfred repelled the Vikings, reorganised the army and was an educational pioneer... not, Ian notes wryly, as exciting as pulling a sword from a stone, but rather more useful. And yet, peeling away the evidence, there is more fiction involved in this 'historic' king than meets the eye - manipulated to suit the diverse purposes of tricksy mediaeval lawyers, a Tudor archbishop for whom we have the cake-burning story to thank, and even a Georgian prince of Wales, he gradually becomes blessed with almost every virtue. By Victorian times, Alfred the Great, has evolved into 'the most perfect man in history', one-man embodiment of everything that is great about Great Britain.
Winston Churchill summoned up the spirit of Alfred to inspire the nation in the dark days of 1940. Meanwhile Arthur reigns supreme today in movies, TV series and even online gaming. Ian even gets to meet Arthur Uther Pendragon, self-declared reincarnation of King Arthur himself, to find out what is on Arthur's mind in the 21st century.
The multiple historical makeovers of these Dark Age kings provide a fascinating insight into the evolution of our sense of national identity. Thoroughly forensic, always curious and witty, this is an exploration of high and low culture over 1,000 years. As ever with Ian Hislop's cultural histories, it focuses on the 'story' bit of history and holds up a most revealing mirror to ourselves.
TUE 22:00 Lost Sitcoms (b07tczcn)
Till Death Us Do Part

TUE 22:25 Armada: 12 Days to Save England (b05yxltf)
The final episode of a three-part drama-documentary series telling the story of how England came within a whisker of disaster in summer 1588.
Newly discovered documents reveal a remarkable web of misunderstandings that stopped the Spanish from invading, and show how the English victory forged the reputation of Elizabeth.
TUE 23:25 Inside the Medieval Mind (b00b6w6m)
Professor Robert Bartlett lays bare the brutal framework of the medieval class system, where inequality was part of the natural order, the life of serfs little better than those of animals and the knight's code of chivalry more one of caste solidarity than morality. Yet a social revolution would transform relations between those with absolute power and those with none.
TUE 00:25 A Victorian Scandal: The Rudest Book in Britain (m0005prc)
Dr Fern Riddell is a young historian and author who goes back to the archives to challenge more traditional historical views of Victorian society.
Her investigation into a sensational Victorian high court trial, which took place in 1877, sheds new light on the 'no sex please, we are British' cliché often associated with Victorian England.
TUE 00:55 Sex, Chips & Poetry: 50 Years of the Mersey Sound (b097bl8c)
Fifty years ago, Penguin published its 1967 hit pop poetry book The Mersey Sound, introducing Roger McGough, Brian Patten and Adrian Henri to the world, thereby securing Liverpool as the cultural centre of the UK and bringing poetry to pop audiences. With the help of famous friends and fellow writers, McGough and Patten tell the inside story of this modern classic and how they made poetry cool.
TUE 01:55 Genius of the Ancient World (b066d0v5)

The Weaver
The Uyghur community in north west China have been making atlas silk for thousands of years. Mattursun Islam and his family are continuing the tradition, using a combination of handmade techniques and mechanised looms. From designing the patterns to colouring, dyeing and weaving the thread, this film follows each stage in absorbing detail. We also get an engaging glimpse into how their family and working life are closely connected. With rival companies often copying his designs, Mattursan is proud of his reputation. But he and his wife also enjoy a good-natured rivalry over who really runs things.
WED 20:00 The Victorian House of Arts and Crafts (b0c06nv7)
Anita Rani is joined by internationally renowned potter Keith Brymer Jones and Arts & Crafts expert and dealer Patch Rogers as the six 21st-century crafters are faced with a new challenge as they restore their home for the month, room by room.
This week the crafters are returning to nature as they not only restore the master bedroom to all its Arts & Crafts glory - but also take part in some fresh water swimming and an authentic Victorian picnic. Using original tools and techniques they are set to craft from scratch an Arts & Crafts double bed and bed spread, a bed side clock and plaster wall decoration and all in just a week - all the while eating, working and living within the philosophies first outlined by the likes of John Ruskin and William Morris. Will their 1890s communal life help them to better understand the depth and scale of the Arts & Crafts movement both as a power for artistic and social change?
But a week into the experience and the highs and lows of living and working together as a creative commune are beginning to take its toll and the some of the crafters are beginning to crack as creative tensions start to show.

Filming in Italy, Germany, France and Britain, Alastair's investigation includes The Venus of Knidos, the first naked woman in western art, the bronze horses of St Mark's in Venice which became a pawn in an imperial game and the naked discus thrower, the Discobolus, personally bought by Adolf Hitler and used by him as a symbol of Aryan supremacy.
WED 01:30 Anni Albers: A Life in Thread (m0007vft)
Anni Albers enrolled in 1922 at the legendary Bauhaus school with hopes of becoming a painter. However, its founder feared that too many women might damage his new school's reputation so Anni and the majority of female applicants were swiftly funnelled into the weaving class and workshop.
This film documents Anni's rise and the turbulent final years of the Bauhaus when Anni was forced to flee Germany due to her Jewish heritage and start a new life in America. She went on to become the undisputed leader in her field, but while her husband Josef Albers' paintings saw him become one of the world's most famous living artists, Anni's textiles were always side-lined as a feminine craft. She has since been recognised as a great artist.
THU 19:00 Beyond 100 Days (m000g6ly)
THU 19:30 The Wonder of Animals (b04dq5tb)
At first sight, penguins seem ill-suited to their environment - rotund abdomens, stubby little legs and stiff wings appear to make the going tough. But in fact it is these very traits that enable this bird to thrive.
Chris explores details of the penguin's anatomy, using new scientific research to reveal how its legs, wings and body shape have allowed it to conquer an extraordinary range of habitats, from deep forests to tropical waters, bustling cities and even the toughest place on the planet - Antarctica.
THU 20:00 Shipwrecks: Britain's Sunken History (b03knrvm)
Home Waters to High Seas
Shipwrecks are the nightmare we have forgotten - the price Britain paid for ruling the waves from an island surrounded by treacherous rocks. The result is a coastline that is home to the world's highest concentration of sunken ships. But shipwrecks also changed the course of British history, helped shape our national character and drove innovations in seafaring technology, as well as gripping our imagination.
In this three-part series, maritime historian Dr Sam Willis looks at how and why the shipwreck came to loom so large. He begins with the embarrassing story of the top-heavy Mary Rose, the freak wrecking of the Spanish Armada and the terrifying real-life disasters at sea that inspired two of the greatest of all castaway tales - Shakespeare's The Tempest and Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe.
THU 21:00 Can Science Make Me Perfect? with Alice Roberts (b0b6q3qy)
Anatomist Alice Roberts embarks on an audacious scientific stunt - to rebuild her own body from scratch, editing out errors left behind by evolution; to create the perfect body. With the help of one of the world's best virtual sculptors, Scott Eaton, and top SFX model maker Sangeet Prabhaker, Alice creates a life-size model of the perfect human body, to be revealed in front of 150 people at London's Science Museum.
Through natural selection, animals have evolved incredible biological designs, from supersharp senses to superpowered limbs. Alice is on a hunt to find the very best designs the natural world has to offer and use them to fix the flaws in our own human anatomy.

Why Are We Getting So Fat?
Over 62 per cent of adults in the UK are currently overweight or obese and this figure is set to rise. A common attitude is that obese people should be ashamed - it is their fault, they have no will power and if they could just 'eat less and exercise more', the problem would soon be solved. Yet, despite millions of pounds being spent on this simple message, the UK is getting fatter every year.
Cambridge geneticist Dr Giles Yeo believes that for many obese people, simply eating less is a lot harder than you might think - and he is taking a road trip around the UK and America to uncover why. He meets the real people behind some of the more shocking newspaper headlines and, through their stories, reveals surprising truths which dispel commonly held myths about obesity. He gains access to scientists and doctors trialling cutting-edge techniques to tackle the crisis - from a 'miracle' hormone injection to a transfusion of faecal matter, and even learns a thing or two about his own size and relationship with food.
THU 23:30 An Art Lovers' Guide (b09yndw6)
In the first of a series of city adventures, Janina Ramirez and Alastair Sooke head to Lisbon, rapidly becoming one of Europe's most popular tourist destinations.
Winding through the city's cobbled streets, from its steep hills to the picturesque shore line, the cultural riches they encounter reveal the city's fascinating history.
From a spectacular monument, to the maritime globetrotting of Portugal's 'golden age and the work of a photographer documenting the city's large African population, they discover a complex history of former glories and a darker, slave-trading past.
Their journey also uncovers the impact of twentieth century dictatorship on the city's artistic and cultural life, through the work of contemporary artists Paula Rego and Joana Vasconcelos.
And they discover how the city's location on the west coast of Europe, looking out to the Atlantic, has shaped the cosmopolitan spirit of the city: in one of the city's Fado clubs, Alastair and Nina enjoy the popular Portugese folk music, whose beautiful melodies celebrate a yearning for home, once sung by sailors dreaming of their return.
THU 00:30 Our Classical Century (b0bs6xv8)
Our Classical Century brings together the greatest moments in classical music in Britain over the last 100 years in a four-part series that celebrates moments of extraordinary music ambition and excellence, deep emotion and of great pleasure, and the artists who have brought audiences this music. Over the course of the series, viewers see and hear how, over the past one hundred years, classical music has shown dazzling virtuosity and innovation, and how music provided a unifying soundtrack to the times when national identity and destiny was at stake.
Presented by Suzy Klein and Sir Lenny Henry, this first programme captures the profound influence of the First World War on our classical music - how it affected a generation of musicians and composers and how the music they created became a crucial part of the nation's sense of identity. From the martial might of Mars in Gustav Holst's The Planets to the pastoral beauty of Ralph Vaughan Williams' much-loved The Lark Ascending, this film tells the story of the music which brought together the United Kingdom.
Suzy and Lenny reveal the phenomenal popularity of the musical extravaganza Hiawatha by the now relatively unknown Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, and examine the enduring impact of the American Jazz Age with George Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. They also look at how Hubert Parry's wartime composition to William Blake's poem Jerusalem became the anthem of the Suffragette movement and at how the opening of Glyndebourne saw the start of a new chapter for opera in Britain.
THU 01:30 Love and Betrayal in India: The White Mughal (p02z8109)
Historian and author William Dalrymple travels to the Deccan Plains of India to trace the romantic love affair between a British diplomat and a young Muslim princess. James Achilles Kirkpatrick was the British East India Company resident at the court of Hyderabad when he risked everything, converting to Islam and, sources suggest, even becoming a double agent, to marry Khair un Nissa 'Most Excellent among Women.'
Pursuing this compelling story of seduction and betrayal through the archives across both continents, Dalrymple unearths a world almost entirely unexplored by history. Kirkpatrick's behaviour might appear to breach the conventional boundaries of empire, but it was not unique. At the turn of the 18th century, one in three British men in India, known as white mughals, lived with Indian women, wore local dress and adopted Indian ways, much to the embarrassment of successive colonial administrations. To protect them from growing disapproval their mixed race children were sent back to England for their education and were ultimately absorbed into Victorian society.
Dalrymple tells the story of the Kirkpatricks and their children through the art and architecture of the time - from the classic Georgian portraiture of George Chinnery and Thomas Hickey to the fantastical Deccani miniatures of Venkatchellam and Tajully Ali Shah. And in this melding of influences, he asks why Christian and Islamic cultures cannot be at one again when once they made great marriages and produced such outstanding art.

FRI 21:30 Metal Britannia (b00r600m)
Nigel Planer narrates a documentary which traces the origins and development of British heavy metal from its humble beginnings in the industrialised Midlands to its proud international triumph.
In the late 60s a number of British bands were forging a new kind of sound. Known as hard rock, it was loud, tough, energetic and sometimes dark in outlook. They didn't know it, but Deep Purple, Uriah Heep and, most significantly, Black Sabbath were defining what first became heavy rock and then eventually heavy metal.
Inspired by blues rock, progressive rock, classical music and high energy American rock, they synthesised the sound that would inspire bands like Judas Priest to take metal even further during the 70s.
By the 80s its originators had fallen foul of punk rock, creative stasis or drug and alcohol abuse. But a new wave of British heavy metal was ready to take up the crusade. With the success of bands like Iron Maiden, it went global.
Contributors include Lemmy from Motorhead, Sabbath's Tony Iommi, Ian Gillan from Deep Purple, Judas Priest singer Rob Halford, Bruce Dickinson from Iron Maiden and Saxon's Biff Byford.

The six tracks, one from each of the band's albums, transport the group, acknowledged by many as one of the most extreme live acts ever, from their usual arena-sized shows to a uniquely intimate and intense setting. The film highlights the group's phenomenal 25-year career, revealing how one of the most relentless and intense-sounding groups ever have struggled with drink, drugs, depression and the death of a band member, topped the charts, outsold their peers and picked up a Grammy along the way, whilst staying as bold, fearless and exhilarating as ever.

FRI 02:00 Contagion: The BBC Four Pandemic (p059y0p1)
The government rates the global outbreak of a deadly flu virus as a major threat to the UK. It could happen at any time. To predict the impact of the next pandemic more accurately than ever before, new data is needed - and lots of it. Dr Hannah Fry is on the case.
She sets out to recruit the nation to download the BBC Pandemic app in a ground-breaking experiment to help plan for when the next deadly virus comes to the UK. How quickly will it spread? How many could it kill? What can we do about it? The BBC Four Pandemic experiment will find out.
Hannah masterminds the experiment and adopts the role of Patient Zero by walking the streets of Haslemere in Surrey to launch the outbreak. Meanwhile, emergency physician Dr Javid Abdelmoneim finds out why flu is still such a danger to society a century after Spanish flu killed up to 100 million people worldwide. He meets researchers trying to discover what makes some people more contagious than others and visits a factory that will produce vaccine when the next pandemic flu virus emerges.
Armed with the information he gathers and the results of the BBC Four Pandemic experiment, Hannah and Javid make a shocking revelation.

Quiltville's Quips & Snips!!: 84 and Counting!
I think I had a mere 10 when I set out to make these as my weekend project while up at the cabin.
My goal? To use up a lot of the "LITTLE" stuff.
I don't have much of a stash at the cabin, but over the holidays I had brought boxes and bags of untrimmed gifted hunk and chunk sized pieces, determined to do something with them.
When a block is this size, it is amazing what you can use up and how it all adds to the whole!
My plans for this quilt are evolving as I work on these blocks, and I can tell you I'm not done with how many I need yet!
But the scraps and the stories they tell!
These triangles are left from a couple of Star Struck quilts, and my Carolina Christmas. Loads of recycled plaids and shirting prints. And some others that happen to be the same size. It's time to tame these and get them sewn into something. So they are playing in my baskets.
If there is a matched pair, I can use them as the "basket feet." I don't care if the neutral is different, as long as the dark is the same print, a pair is good there.
I've got purples from Lazy Sunday. I've got pinks from Sister's Choice.
These bonus triangles are the gift that keeps on giving! I do need more variety in my colors other than just purple, red and pink, so I am cutting some from various scraps to add to the color variety.
Isn't this funny? I used to look at that blue print as "Baptist Fans" or "Clam Shells." Because of today's technology I'm now seeing this as "Wi-Fi Signals" LOL!
So much fun, and tumbler Leaders& Enders too!
I think it's time for a nap!
I was likely too busy paying attention to what was going on during "When Calls the Heart" on Netflix and I sewed the bottom section to the top of the block. Sometimes you just gotta laugh and grab the ripper yet again!
Oh yes, that 1492-1992 Christopher Columbus fabric. If THIS is in your stash, it's time to cut it extra small and use it up!
You know you've been quilting a long long time when you start to recognize fabric in costumes as well as in quilts!
Check out that purple tumbler!
In this episode, Abigail, played by Lori Loughlin is wearing a dress made out of the same fabric! I couldn't believe my eyes!
Now, I know I've had this fabric 8 to 10 years – so it makes me wonder just what fabric is in the storage vault at the costumer's ---If you wanted to make a dress from 1910, an early 2000's repro may just do the job!
There it is, on the right!
How many of you own this print, too?
My top now has 36 rows. I am aiming for 54. And heaven knows I cut way more tumblers than I thought I would need.
My rows have 59 tumblers per row. I stand now at 2,124 pieces in this quilt. When I'm done I'll have 3,186.
I have loved this project all year long. I have spent ZERO concentrated time on it. The whole thing has grown as Leaders & Enders in between the lines of other chain piecing. It's basically a free quilt. All cut from small scraps. Sewn by pairs, pairs joining pairs into rows, and rows joined to each other while working on other things.
I know there were people who finished their whole tumbler quilt within a week or a month or two of my announcing this year long challenge. And that's fine if they want to rush through it. As for me, I have enjoyed it, the whole process of choosing fabric, cutting shapes, stitching pairs and joining rows since July as a real Leader & Ender project.
My goal is to have this top finished by next July when we issue our NEXT year long challenge.
What's the rush, anyway? It isn't a race!
I love this quote, especially how it applies not only to quilts we are making, but to people!
How boring life would be if we were all perfect, and all the same. Celebrate the uniqueness in others today!
As for me, I am packing up at the cabin, heading off mountain and meeting a friend for lunch and I can't wait!
When I get going on a project, I have to finish it. If I don't, the pieces get set aside (another way to say "lost") and it never gets done. Sometimes, when I find it by accident, I have no idea what I was doing and have to figure it out all over again. I'm such a scatter-brain.
Your fabric stash is amazing! My tumblers are growing slowly. Like you said it is not a race. I need to cut more to get a better variety. Heaven knows I have plenty of scraps and each new project just creates more.
Okay, so I'm more like Bonnie. I've been working on Box Kite blocks from my strip stash, and was still doing leaders and enders from the 2014 challenge! Just finally put those together and last week put the binding on it. Yahoo! I used up almost all of my 3.5 inch scraps in that one! Now I'm back to using 2.5 inch squares for four patch leaders and enders. Never started the tumblers in 2015, so I guess I'm ready for the 2016 challenge. What next? Dig into the string box, or make some of those basket blocks! They sure are cute.
I love that you saw the fabric on Abigail. I'll have to watch it again. I always look for quilts on shows. I saw a skirt with quilt blocks on it that I wanted to make at a Young Ambassador concert once. Love the used up bonus hsts. The tumblers are such fun to play I spy. Yea for March, lots to do, Quilts to make and people to see.
I made two baby quilts using pinks,white and purple for unexpected twin. Still working on leader and enders.
Oh my, you have a lit of rows done. I'm so impressed. I'm doing 52 tumblers per row a 52 rows. Only have about a dozen done in between piecing Allietare blocks. But I am enjoying myself!
Bonnie, I love your Basket Blocks. I just wanted to tell you look at them see the Hens and Roosters . You might think I'm off my rocker but I just wanted you to no what I see in your blocks.

Berkeley, California is now helping its less fortunate get a little greener. The Berkeley City Council, in a unanimous decision, has mandated that medical marijuana dispensaries donate 2% of their stock to those city residents who cannot afford it.
The "compassion system" does have its opponents (of course it does), but those residents who qualify and earn less than $32,000/year are eligible to get help in the form of the same strength of medical marijuana that paying customers have access to.
The Federal Government is set to increase the amount of marijuana grown for research purposes by 30 times! According to a report in the LA Times, the new figure is set to be around 1,400 pounds, which might not seem like a lot unless you put it up against the previous figure of 46 pounds.
Who is responsible for growing the research material? The National Institute on Drug Abuse pretty much holds the monopoly on growing marijuana for federally approved research studies. They are preparing to accept bids for a new 12-acre pot farm contract. The current contract is held by the University of Mississippi, which has been the sole U.S. provider of marijuana for scientific and medical researchers since 1968.
Of course, hopeful researchers will need DEA approval, a DNA sample, references and their firstborn as well as agreeing to get the marijuana from the Feds. Now how good the quality is or how it is being used (as pointed out by U.S. News) is a source of debate, but be it to slander or augment the effects of marijuana, it is clear that the Federal Government's interest has been more than piqued.
New Mexico has had its fair share of dust ups regarding medical marijuana and marijuana in general, but those living in Santa Fe can breathe a little easier.
The Huffington Post is reporting that the Santa Fe City Council has joined the host of other cities and states that have decided to be civil and decriminalized the possession of small amounts of marijuana. In this case, an ounce or less. Being in possession of that amount of marijuana is now a civil offence with a $25 fine, not a $100 criminal misdemeanor and potential jail time.
We have kept an eye on the developments in how financial institutions are now attempting to do business with marijuana dispensaries, and a recent article in the Marijuana Business Daily explores how transparency can help to forge a lasting relationship with banks.

A believer needs to have patience as well as mirth out of facing a barrage of questions. So the one who helps a believer is often a non-believer. Only in the context of scepticism can a true belief grow. Linguist Toshihiko Izutsu says that belief is progression, not a state in which people find themselves in. That is the underlying difference between Islam and Iman.
The Quran narrates an event of Bedouins claiming they 'believed' and asks the Prophet to correct them by saying that they had not believed yet, but had just submitted (became Muslims) 49:14. Belief is graded above belonging to a group of believers. So belief is no more a condition than gradually increasing or gradually decreasing processes. Certainty out of witnessing and knowing truth through radically questioning and debating many of its circulated versions helps one raise the grade in one's belief.
Two films released last year- Andrey Zvyagintsev's Leviathan and Nuri Bilge Ceylan's Winter Sleep- make us take stock of the layers of ifs and buts as regards people's belief in God. I am not saying that the two films made by ace auteurs, which were the centre of focus in the 2014 Cannes Film Festival (Leviathan bagging the award for best screenplay while Winter Sleep the very Palme d'Or), can be tethered to the questions of belief and non-belief. These films are much more than that. Leviathan overtly and Winter Sleep by way of allusions and symbolism engage the political and familial power structures. They are commentaries respectively on the Post-Soviet Russian and Post Kamalist Turkish suburbs. There is a tension created by transitions in power structure which however preserves the status quo in the everydayness of rustic lives. There is the promise of elite pleasures which the landowning middle class seek by leaving for either Moscow or Istanbul. Urban space thus becomes an apolitical utopia where there is less 'overt' control from the political, familial and religious power structures. But beyond all these, the point where the two films constantly guided my focus to was the discourse and narrative on belief scattered in the films throughout.
In his tract on political power, Thomas Hobbes was building a non-pejorative metaphor out of the denotation of the word leviathan as the largest and monstrous sea creature. In Hobbesian usage, leviathan is a civil as well as ecclesiastical form of power whose sovereign authority guides the social contract. We can't help taking the leviathan for granted just as we do the air we breathe and the water we drink. But is the power or its political encapsulation in the civil and ecclesiastical states too harmless to be separated from the fearsome sea creature whose vestiges remain scattered around in the modern societies? Or, to put it more lucidly, is the state a surety of our living by a contract or is it an usurper of rights and security by cleverly and legally manipulating the contract? Zvyagintsev's film tries to help us answer these questions by evocatively asking them. In the film throughout as well as in its posters, we see the fossil of a sea creature, helping us linking the metaphor of leviathan with its true, original denotation.
Leviathan is all about a Russian fisherman named Koyla's (Alexey Serebryakov) fight against the municipal authority's attempt to seize his property. He is failed in the courts and humiliated by recurrent tortures using fabricated cases. The municipal authority is the leviathan which, with the help of police and courts, dictates the terms and boundaries of Nikolai's counter engagement. The larger picture emerges when we understands that leviathan is the mayor (Roman Madyanov) who is blessed with the ecclesiastical authority to go ahead with the project of usurping Koyla's land. Koyla turns out to express the power he has in his home towards his wife (Elena Lyadova) and son, which further faces ruptures in his infidelity. While Koyla is bogged down under the baggage of allegations, including that of his wife's death, the mayor can be seen taking part in the mass and being blessed by the priest.
What should people do, if they are forsaken by all authoritative trustees? What should they believe in, if the religious authority has become indifferent to them or has unleashed its billowing waves of power against them in such a way that it is a masquerade for leviathan? A devastated Koyla meets a local priest (not the one who keeps his tie with the mayor) and asks him where God is. "The priest quotes from the Book of Job: Can you pull in the leviathan with a fishhook or tie down its tongue with a rope? Nothing on earth is his equal." He advises Koyla to adopt forbearance in the face of adversity like Job who, in the Bible, was harassed by the Leviathan-the king who wanted to usurp his vineyard. The priest here echoes the filmmaker's didactic perception on a believer. Or is it an admonition that God does not reside in the power or in the church (or mosque for that matter) which craves political and sovereign power; He rather resides in the hope for the hopeless in the most adverse and hopeless situations?
Winter Sleep poses the problem of conscience driving actions. It poses questions about the intention of humanitarian activities. Is it our sympathy or conscience for the poor that drives us to dole out a few liras to them, while exploiting them or being part of that exploitation.
It is in the void of questions we have to ask to ourselves, which perforce helps us attain certainty (yaqin), that we are forced to grapple with contradictions, disruptions, and self-deceptions.

Five Things We Learned from Intellectual Polygamists and Other Creative Immigrants,
Carl Djerassi, a Self-Defined Intellectual Polygamist
It has become difficult to imagine love-making without the Pill or surviving allergies without antihistamines—both the creations of Carl Djerassi.
Djerassi emigrated from Austria to America after Anschluss and passed away in early 2015, going down in history known for his invention of the oral contraceptive pill, along with other contributions in the fields different from his first love, chemistry. Reinventing himself from a chemist to writer, art collector, and philanthropist, he used these different occupations as opportunities to excel in arenas that are only seemingly dissimilar to chemistry with its logic and experimentation – but were, for him, united by a common denominator of his intellect, effortlessly ascending on a spiral of perfecting the world.
What were the drivers behind his serially self-redefined being? His book From the Pill to the Pen explains his life – ambitious, articulate, but narcissism-free. Defining himself as an "intellectual polygamist", Djerassi defended this metaphoric term saying that "serious polygamy" treats every woman as God-given wife—and this is exactly how he's treated all his intellectual pursuits/occupations—and achieved extraordinary results every time. That's what intellectual polygamists do.
Women Equals
I have nothing against the term "intellectual polygamist" except that it sounds sexist; additional amplification can correct it. Research for my upcoming book found quite a few women immigrants with creativity extending into multiple fields, either voluntarily, driven by curiosity and self-expression, or out of their need to adapt to a foreign land.
Olga Perry, a female centerpiece of immigrant creativity gone wild, is an excellent example of intellectual polygamy.
She's an internationally recognized artist with the high awards for sculpture, painting and photography. "I make art because I must," she said. "It's a need, an obsession, an addiction." Born in Russia, she's been through colorful career changes: an engineer, OB/GYN doctor holding a Ph.D., major of the Russian Army, and business owner. But these successes didn't satisfy her intellectual-emotional thirst as she felt fed up with Russian institutions controlling her free spirit. In her 40's, she jumped across the oceans and cultures, a single mom with her daughter, two suitcases and little English.
Life in the US changed with the speed of her language acquisition: from baby-sitter, department store cashier, waitress, telemarketer, corporate manager – to CFO of a renewable energy corporation, she's done it all. Then came the art. It became her new passion. After only a year of drawing and sculpting in art school she made it big time too, a star fulfilling her lifelong dream to be an artist.
Olga's art – reflecting the prowess of her brilliant intellect, logic of the scientist, distinctive vision, and global experience – shows us what the artistic fusion of Renaissance-like professional transitions, cultures, and philosophies can harvest. Art in various media, even parody cook-and-talk shows on her video channel, are all expressions of her talent. Creativity-wise, she equals Carl Djerassi himself!
Five Things We Learned
Here's my 5 cents worth on connecting the dots between our amazingly creative fellow-citizens and our own progress as individuals and society:
Creativity's integrated in immigrants' nature
Solid research on creativity explains why immigrants can see things through several filters, unlike those native-born. In addition to the business case for immigrant creativity I've made before, we need to remember that creativity may also be driven by powerful self-expression in unrelated fields (e.g., Athena Tacha, from Greece, is an outstanding landscape artist, sculptor, and author of conceptual/self-analytical studies of aging).
Contrary to popular belief that to be a success we need to stick to one profession, intellectual polygamists prove otherwise
There's more to creativity than cross-cultural vision – there's a phenomenon of cross-professional vision. It happens when people change professions/occupations (and immigrants often do so out of necessity): the previous know-how delivers an added perspective/vision, which can turn into a huge advantage. Simply put, their fresh vision removes "professional blinders," a limiting factor for innovating. Thus, Lana Kim has reinvented herself from a Macy's super-salesperson, to stockbroker, to PR firm director, to author/speaker and radio talk-show host; Anne-Sophie Gueguen rose from European Commission manager to French-American Academy founder; Paulina Porizkova evolved from supermodel and actress to author/blogger, Izabella Miko developed from ballerina and actress to movie producer, etc. They've been willing – or had to – reinvent selves. The result? Their wonderful creativity, like a magic wand, enriched every profession they applied it to.
Intellectual curiosity can lead to intellectual polygamy
A new orthodoxy, popularized by Malcolm Gladwell, sees obsessive focus as the key to unlocking genius—and this is probably true. However, intellectual polygamists such as Carl Djerassi and Olga Perry could re-focus, get re-obsessed by new ideas/professions, and succeed in various fields. In general, immigrants are more likely to turn intellectual polygamists because many just need to do things entirely different from what they've done back home.
Immigrants contribute big-time to America's well-being and culture
A risk gene is part of all immigrants' DNA: it's brought them to America to unleash their potential—and they're fearlessly pioneering all things new. Paraphrasing Einstein, immigrants enter the society/organization/team where certain things have been deemed impossible – and their unawareness makes them search for solutions—and break new grounds! The names of Arianna Huffington, Indra Nooyi, and Dr. Ruth Westheimer speak for themselves.
America needs to sponsor creative immigrants officially
We hold it as universal truth that America, the great nation of former immigrants, can benefit from more new blood, the talent ready to help sustain its global competitiveness.
Learning is Progressing
As the worldwide migration accelerates year after year, the nations who open their golden doors to inventive immigrants will progress the most. We, the people, do want America to continue being No.1. Unfortunately, our Congressmen, in their supposed infinite wisdom, stay stuck in their stale bipartisan game, playing from the position of strength, and bargaining endlessly over the immigration reform. History will not forgive them. And the American people shouldn't either.

Greetings promoters and booking agents! We are Sonic Bent. A quartet of experienced Eugenean musicians calling the NW home for many moons. Progressive Jam with a splash of cry in your beer Americana.
SB is a flexible group that can play a variety of venues small and large. Whether electric or smaller acoustic venues are needed, we shine.
Original music with a jammy nature is what SB is all about, drawing inspiration from the likes of Wilco, Phish to Radiohead. Fear not, Sonic Bent is very unique and very original. Patrick Kavaney, founder of SB and songwriter for the group with a collection of close to 100 original songs has been performing and writing for almost 30 years. Seasoned performers SB is a mix of psychedelic, catchy hooks and stop on a dime arrangments. Please get in touch!
Sonic Bent composer & lyricist, Patrick Kavaney, has been all around America. As a kid he ricocheted between his dad's provincial Minnesota home and his activist mom's place in New York. A bit of a nomad ever since, Kavaney has done time sleeping on beaches from Mexico to Alaska. If Greyhound offered a mileage program, he would've earned himself a free ticket from coast to coast. So when Kavaney belts out "One More Trip Down that Line" in his raspy baritone, it's clear he knows what he's talking about. Classic sounds picked up from all over this land are reinforced by the idea and feeling of movement throughout a catchy, jammy new collection.
When you listen to this 4-song EP of original songs by Kavaney and Sonic Bent, you might want to sit back and close your eyes. Picture this: you're taking off on an epic road trip with the band! (Seatbelt not required.) The journey begins as you roll through the bittersweet sonic landscapes of a faux "Cheshire Life." Well, that's why you're moving on, isn't it— to discover something real?
A visit to the underworld is required in every quest. "Hurricane Lover" nakedly beckons you down a black highway of pastoral prog rock that slowly transitions to twilit badlands full of shady characters. Better keep that motor running 'till you reach the other side! After the last distorted note fades into the distance, you're feeling empty. So you and the band grab a bite at some little Southern country-fried fish shack called "Thrive" that is run by a bunch of friendly flower children. Every damn thing on the menu sounds so good! Night falls. You finally wind up in a crowded, funky brew-pub with a weathered stage that was built in 1965 by members of a logger's union. You blink. You wonder where you are. What city? What state? What world? A vintage neon sign on the wall says Liver Pool Whiskey and Blues. There's a picture of a flying pig on the bartender's faded red baseball cap.
Sonic Bent's new EP takes the listener on a journey, a moody one with all the high's and lows of a cross country trip. With the solid rhythm section of seasoned percussionist Jeff Alberts and Noah Kamrat on bass and soaring guitar leads provided by Keenan Dorn. "We like to take a pop structure, start it rolling, and then f--- with it," explains bass player Noah Kamrat. "These concepts like 'jam-band' and 'rock' and 'Americana' can be so reductive." What matters is the experimental improvisation and communication between musicians… and between a band and its audience. Introducing "Wander through Dreams" a collection of musical journeys by Sonic Bent.

Vast numbers of people have been prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic to take up working or running businesses from home – but do they need planning permission for a change of use? The High Court addressed that burning issue in the case of a personal trainer who fitted out part of a timber outbuilding in his garden as a gym for his clients.
The man argued that the business use of the outbuilding was ancillary to his use of a dwelling and that no planning permission was required. However, the local authority twice rejected his applications for a certificate of lawful use. Despite arming himself with an expert acoustics report and testimony from neighbours, his appeals against the refusals were rejected by planning inspectors.
The inspector who dismissed his most recent appeal noted that the training sessions appeared to be well controlled. She pointed out, however, that noise was not the only factor to be taken into account. The comings and goings of at least four or five clients a day down a narrow passageway could also be a disturbance to neighbours, particularly in a tight-knit residential area.
Paying visitors to the outbuilding would be clearly visible from the rear windows and gardens of neighbouring homes. As a matter of fact and degree, the inspector found that business use on such a scale was neither trivial nor incidental to the enjoyment of a dwelling. It resulted in an overall change to the property's use and character for which planning permission was required.
Dismissing the man's challenge to that outcome, the Court rejected arguments that visual disturbance to neighbours was an immaterial factor that the inspector should not have taken into account. Arguments that she failed to give adequate and intelligible reasons for her decision also fell on fallow ground.

This gem contains the MapMyFitness strategy for OmniAuth.

MapMyFitness currently uses OAuth 1.0.  For more information about integrating with MapMyFitness, here are a few things to check out:

- Overview: http://www.mapmyfitness.com/developer/
- Request an API Key: https://www.mapmyfitness.com/developer/api_keys/list/.
- API 3.1 Docs: http://api.mapmyfitness.com/3.1/

## Before You Begin

This will only be useful if you're using OmniAuth in your app.  Check out https://github.com/intridea/omniauth for more.

## Using This Strategy

First, add this to your `Gemfile`:

```ruby
gem 'omniauth-mapmyfitness'
```

If you need to use the latest HEAD version, you can do so with:

```ruby
gem 'omniauth-mapmyfitness', :github => 'yeeland/omniauth-mapmyfitness'
```

Next, configure OmniAuth to use this provider. For a Rails app using only OmniAuth, your `config/initializers/omniauth.rb` file should be something like:

```ruby
Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do
  provider :mapmyfitness, "CONSUMER_KEY", "CONSUMER_SECRET"
end
```

## Using This Strategy with Devise

If you are using [Devise with OmniAuth](https://github.com/plataformatec/devise/wiki/OmniAuth:-Overview), your `config/initializers/devise.rb` should look something like:

```ruby
Devise.setup do |config|
  # Other config options
  config.omniauth :mapmyfitness, 'CONSUMER_KEY', 'CONSUMER_SECRET', :strategy_class => OmniAuth::Strategies::MapMyFitness
end
```

## Auth Hash

Here's an example *Auth Hash* that you will get through `request.env['omniauth.auth']`:

```ruby
{
  :provider => 'mapmyfitness',
  :uid => '1234567890',
  :info => {
    :nickname => 'notarealusername',
    :email => 'runforthehills@mapmyfitness.com',
    :name => 'Joe Marathon',
    :first_name => 'Joe',
    :last_name => 'Marathon',
    :image => 'http://api.mapmyfitness.com/3.1/users/get_avatar?uid=1234567890',
    :urls => { :mapmyfitness => 'http://www.mapmyfitness.com/profile/1234567890' },
    :location => 'Austin, TX'
  },
  :credentials => {
    :token => 'TOKEN',
    :secret => 'SECRET',
    :expires_at => nil,
    :expires => false
  },
  :extra => {
    :raw_info => {
      "user_id" => '1234567890',
      "username" => 'notarealusername',
      # There is more here. Check out http://api.mapmyfitness.com/3.1/users/get_user?doc for full output.
    }
  }
}
```

It may be worth noting that the raw_info you get back is rather large and if you are using cookie-based sessions and if you try storing `request.env['omniauth.auth']` in your session as-is, it will likely exceed the maximum session size.

## A Small Note on Branding

MapMyFitness should be [stylized](http://www.mapmyfitness.com/brand/) as MapMyFitness instead of MapMyFITNESS, Mapmyfitness, Map My Fitness, or any other variations.  To accommodate this, you may want to [configure your Devise views](https://github.com/plataformatec/devise#configuring-views) changing the omniauthable part of your `app/views/devise/_links.erb` from:
```ruby
<%= link_to "Sign in with #{provider.to_s.titleize}", omniauth_authorize_path(resource_name, provider) %><br />
```
to
```ruby
<%= link_to "Sign in with #{OmniAuth::Utils.camelize provider.to_s}", omniauth_authorize_path(resource_name, provider) %><br />
```

Christoph Zimmermann: The support is immense
City centre-back Christoph Zimmermann says the midweek win over QPR was a big relief following the loss to Sunderland.
"It was important for us to win this game," he told the media at Friday's press conference. "It was an important victory for the squad, the staff and everybody. You're always waiting for the first win of the season – we'd had one in the cup, and we wanted our first three points as well.
"We were all happy with the result and content with the way we played the game. We didn't give away too many chances in comparison to Sunderland, so it was a good improvement from that point of view."
Zimmermann caused a stir when he stayed late after the QPR win to sign autographs with the fans still inside Carrow Road. "I heard somewhere that people didn't expect me to spend that much time with the crowd after the game, but I enjoyed it," he says. "We had 26,000 in there, and last season at Dortmund II we were happy to have 3,000. I'm enjoying it, and we shouldn't take it for granted that we have this huge and immense support.
"There were lots of children who are normally supposed to be in bed at that time! It was my way of showing appreciation for everyone's support. Daniel Farke said he was happy I'd found the time to leave the crowd to be here in time for training the next morning!"
After a barnstorming, slide-tackling display on the opening day of the season, and dominating in the air against QPR, Zimmermann looks to have adapted well to the English game – but he says he is still learning.
"The biggest surprises were in the friendlies when I discovered big changes between the football I was used to playing and the football that's played here in England," he says. "The most striking thing was the difference when trying to win headers – here it's a lot more with elbows and there are basically no fouls with headers! That's a big change.
"I talk to Marcel [Franke] about it and we try to learn from the experiences and try to improve it game by game. He's used to more physical strikers after playing in the second league in Germany, but it's a big change for him too. We can help each other in these situations.
"From a personal point of view I wasn't expecting to play so much in the first part of the season, so I'm really happy about playing."
With a trip to the famous Villa Park up next, Zimmermann says he is loving playing against big teams in the Championship. "It's a dream come true for me – every game is like a gift to me. It's something I didn't expect to happen. Sunderland were in the Premier league, Fulham have a Premier League history, Aston Villa have a great history and had players you admired as a kid so I really look forward to all of these games.
"We know about the situation with Villa's start, so we're focussing on ourselves and looking to go there and control the game."
Christoph Zimmermann


Makes not fresh nor grow again.
Why should sadness longer last ?
Gentlest fair, mourn, mourn no more.
Silver doves coo above the hillside field.
Flowers scatter their sweet scent.
Let's go on a journey together, friends.
This life is short as a dream.
There's nothing we ask of anybody.
Only let us give you our love.
Let's sing a sweet song, friends.
And smile joyously while we love.
Rain gathers on the eastern hill.
It's now time to part, friends.
We part not in hate but part in love.
Let's wipe away the emerald tears, friends.

A passion for photography, colors and storytelling are the key elements to my work. The themes of my images are deeply related to my personal thinking, attitude in life and personality.
The pictures are taken in familiar surroundings and daily context, at home or while away on vacation. A point of view filled with a certain poetry, quietness and sensibility that seeks to stimulate the imagination of the viewer. I try to create a certain empathy so that each viewer can interpret the photographs in a personal way based on his or her own emotions and memories.
My work flow as a photographer does not follow a fixed method and can be generated through different starting points. Sometimes an idea results in an image, other times an image captured spontaneously or unexpectedly becomes the starting point for a new series of images.
I hope you will enjoy seeing my work as much as I enjoy creating it.
