When a Waterfall Comes to Town (not a Brick Chicken): Repurposing an Old Building for Art and Community
Waterfall Arts
Belfast, ME
Martha Piscuskas
Over 15 years, a small rural volunteer-run seasonal community art center morphed into a year-round vibrant "anchor" of the creative economy in the working arts town of Belfast, Maine, with thousands coming through the doors every year. Waterfall Arts expanded beyond their rustic stream-side campus by taking over an old elementary school in town, now with 5 staffers and robust programming for adults and youth. How did they do this in one of the poorer counties in Maine? How did they find the resources to buy a building? And what did they do when pipes burst? This workshop will review a variety of concrete ways, both planned and un-planned, this artist-led organization acquired, re-purposed, and enhanced an old building to be a model cultural hub.
After 5 years of very successful and dynamic summer programming in the tents and rustic studios of our campus in the woods, the City of Belfast (18 miles away) offered the organization a recently decommissioned 16,375 square-foot school to create an art center in town. City officials saw the need for a public artmaking space that appealed to all ages and felt that WA was the creative grassroots group to run it. Waterfall Arts viewed this as an exciting growth opportunity to reach more people, expand to year-round programming, and increase revenue. The Board decided to take this big leap and -- with little fundraising track record, one part-time office staffer, and no short-range, let alone long-range, plan -- won the bid on the school. Can you see the challenges here?
The goals of offering transformative arts experiences to more people, running education, exhibitions and events year-round, and increasing revenue did not change. The ways we achieve these are constantly shifting. One goal of the founding group – to bring art and nature together – has remained a part of our mission but harder to achieve in town. This goal was easily attained in our rural campus, but we've had to work to creatively incorporate an environmental sensibility to the Belfast building and programming. Examples: working with local schools, we've installed a very popular vertical living wall on the exterior; we show environmental art regularly both inside and on the grounds; our new print studio uses only "green" practices and materials.
Early on, the Board of mostly artists, led by 2 stalwart and generous founding members, jumped into high gear to renovate the 1935 brick building prior to occupation, and to quickly raise funds for the purchase. Seventeen private citizens from the community were successfully solicited to put up $225,000 in guaranteed loans. A local foundation stepped up with a 3-year grant to kick-start organizational and facility development. One vocal downtown businessman, also on the City Council, was instrumental in making the case to the community. The City supported the project by keeping the price low ($155,000) and issuing a low PILOT (payment in lieu of taxes) agreement. Partners today, in some aspect of our facility, include the City, which runs an ice rink here in the winter; the summer Farmers Market and autonomous Art Market; our local downtown revitalization project, Our Town Belfast, which included us in their boundaries; the Belfast Creative Coalition, a creative economy organization we co-founded; and GOLogic, a local green design/build firm that provides pro bono consulting to us.
Strategy might be too strong a word. Community individuals have focused on making arts and culture more central to Belfast's downtown and its economy since 1980. Then, chicken feathers wafted through town from the processing plant on the waterfront (now replaced with a bustling high-end shipyard). Today Belfast hosts many art galleries, cultural festivals, restaurants, and music and theater performances year-round. The Waterfall Arts building is certainly a creative hub in Belfast and the county. Fifteen artists and musicians rent studios here; we exhibit local and national artwork in three spaces. Our little stage in the basement (the Fall Out Shelter) is used by local and traveling bands, student recitals, theater shows, dance parties, talks, meetings, etc. A recurring community discussion for over 20 years is about the development of a bona fide, well-appointed performance space. Several less-than-ideal venues exist, but none large enough nor modern enough to attract significant performing artists. Number of seats desired/deemed fillable varies widely, and, despite several afforts, no viable community solution has yet emerged. For the past two years, Waterfall Arts has engaged in serious internal discussions and has committed to expanding the building to include, among other things, a flexible-use state-of-the-art performance space, as a step in that direction.
Probably the common practice of artists re-purposing old buildings – barns, defunct manufacturing spaces, lofts, and old school buildings. The large classrooms with high ceilings loaned themselves well to art classrooms and studios.
Upon the 2005 decision to take on the building, the Board renamed the organization to better fit the expanded effort, and designed a new logo. The Board membership expanded to include Belfast artists and supporters, and a new paid executive director was hired.
Before moving in, the facilities committee reviewed and prioritized the building renovations: new roof, upgraded electrical system, installed internet access, created a gallery, opened up the entrance hall, divided some classrooms for small studio space, and painted all the interior walls. A big community open house included a dance performance and a poem written and recited by the Belfast poet laureate, "When a Waterfall Comes to Town."
The facilities committee continues setting priorities for repairs and upgrades, in conjunction with our facilities manager and the director of finance and operations. (We now have co-directors, the DFO and Director of Programming.)
Programming and finances help dictate renovation projects such as the build-out of a print studio and a darkroom, dividing a couple more large rooms to create numerous smaller, more easily rented, studios. A donor supported upgrading a bathroom to include a shower, with an eye towards a future artist residency. Staying vigilant to pending facility disasters is also a constant. Some we miscalculate, like rain leakage from a rainy nor'easter (usually the wind blows from the southwest). Patching the north side of the parapet ensued. We were fortunate to receive an NEA grant to do a comprehensive assessment of our building in 2010. The resulting report six months later led the Board into a very forward-thinking discussion lasting 18 months, instigated by the then-impending (now true) demise of our ancient oil boiler. In keeping with the organization's mission, the Board elected for the most environmentally sustainable solution: to renovate the building to become a net-zero fully insulated retro-fit including an aesthetic solar array, efficient heating/cooling system, and an ADA-compliant café and performance space. This is our current big leap.
Leadership struggles ensued after the move to town, which required rebuilding of the Board and hiring an Interim ED. Inconsistent or non-existent staffing in key positions – facilities manager and DFO – at various times has hampered steady progress on maintenance and renovations. A lean maintenance budget also doesn't help. The exterior is brick, so repointing and sill rot are addressed sporadically, as finances and volunteers allow. Some demo work being done by a volunteer on the third floor led to one of our biggest disasters: a rusty pipe broke unexpectedly, flushing water down to the basement, flooding it in minutes. The walls and ceilings of the rooms in between, and the entire basement floor, required replacement. Here's the lemonade part: through creative financing from insurance coverage and a crowd-sourcing campaign (organized by graphic design students here for a training), our main women's bathroom got a long-needed facelift, the basement got retiled (good-bye asbestos!), and the performance space refreshed with lighting and improved acoustics. Our heating system required replacement this fall, sooner than expected and prior to funds being raised or set aside.
The staff and board seek out or take advantage of every possible resource and network constantly. An artist friend of the organization is a mason who did some re-pointing pro bono, and loaned us his scaffolding for further work. The current facilities manager is extremely dedicated, and while not a decision-maker on the big ticket items, he's very knowledgeable about materials. A pop-up course for young creatives (Project M) elected to redesign our water-damaged performance space, and created a fundraising campaign, logo and video in a week. Regarding the heating system, fortunately we had a plan in place and could act quickly, once we acquired a massive bank loan. Our financial credit had improved significantly enough, and we had steadily and promptly paid our mortgage bills since the purchase of the building, that the bank approved a direct loan this time. And we have received favorable response from a grantor to assist in the heat system conversion.
Whenever possible, say "Yes." And even when you aren't sure. Take advantage of opportunities -- be open to possibilities that aren't on your radar screen. Be seen in your community, keep expanding your network, so you meet people who can help you and vice versa. Don't say yes to everything, but if you can – do. These will create new opportunities for you. Project M, a boot camp for designers using their skills for the good, visit us every year because we accommodate their needs, and they organized an indiegogo campaign for us.
Get the right Facilities staffperson and team. Make sure you have people there who know buildings, contractors, electrical, roofs, structures, materials. The right Facilities Manager is absolutely worth their weight in gold – we've learned this the hard way. The committee members can volunteer, trade, do work for cost, or recruit for a volunteer work party.
Rent the heck out of it. If you own space – find every way to rent it out as soon as possible. Diversifying your income stream is the road to sustainability, and rental income is critical to our budget. If you have an asset, don't be stingy! Rent every which way – long-term studio leases, lease a space for a month, a week, a day, an hour. For parties. We have print and clay studios – we rent out to production artists occasionally. We're developing print or clay birthday parties. Have a nice gallery? Rent it out for fancy parties. Have a kitchen space? Rent it out for cooking demos. Put mirrors on one wall and voila – a dance studio is born! Martial Arts. Ballet. Have a stage? Rent it out for a CD release party. Theater auditions. OR trade – rehearsal space to a band in exchange for a free performance for a fundraising event. Trade studio space for graphic design. We've had rental requests from a wide variety of groups (we haven't said yes to all of them): hair salon, daycare center, quaker meeting, a gym, farm CSA pick up, a school, a travel agent, even private art education group.
Taking on this building has provided the City with a non-profit creative "anchor." Perhaps because we are artists and open to new ways of seeing, many individuals, organizations, and visitors often share their ideas and visions for programming here or in the community. Our presence in town, in this funky old school building, has definitely contributed to the growth of creative place-making. We are a major repository of ideas, seed-plantings, and even some new ventures. For example, the farmer's market lost their spot due to new construction, and our flat backyard, plenty of parking, and proximity to downtown (4 blocks) made us a perfect spot for re-location. We encouraged some artisans to create a tandem art market, and both are now going strong here, generating lots of foot traffic for us. We collaborate with and are integral to the Art Walk, the Free Range Music Festival, the Seal Bay Festival of New Chamber Music, the City's Winter Carnival. We founded the Belfast Creative Coalition to bring the level of promotion and coordination to the next level.
We are still here, and well-utilized, even through a recession. New and returning community members continue to come. Our facebook "likes" continue to grow, new people access our programming, all of our studios are rented. The City has increased its financial support to us. We do reach more people because we have expanded our free programming, both in the building and at public venues, particularly young artists. Because we have a large building, we can dedicate a classroom to become a public clay studio or print studio. A life drawing group moved from a private studio to our classroom years ago, and continues to meet weekly. Visitors often remark how much they love the feel of the building, and many continuing and new groups use our spaces.
I think this is answered by previous responses. We can still pay the bills, new and repeat visitors still come through the doors, the community still seeks to partner with us. Apparently we continue to remain relevant.
The focus on the Belfast building meant much less energy went to the Montville site in recent years; just a factor of capacity. Those of us who've been involved since the beginning wish that campus could be better developed.
Because we are a rural hub, we are viewed and perhaps view ourselves as able to address all art-making community needs. And because we own a building (with the bank) and our programming has expanded, we may be considered to have more resources than we actually do. Yet we scrimp and do without just like any other small non-profit – I am not sure community members take this into account. And an old building breaks a lot, requiring us to be resourceful in unanticipated ways.

On race, bias, identity and other grad-school bullshit
Posted on April 21, 2017 by Beau Dure
Last night, Jonathan Coulton opened for Aimee Mann on the first night of their tour in Washington, and this happened:
JC: This is a song about a giant squid who hates himself
Crowd: Whooooooooooooo!!!
I laughed. Then something hit me.
This is really, really "white."
And suddenly I felt a little guilty.
Ridiculous, right? Just because the crowd is about 95% white (I scanned after this feeling hit me and saw one African-American woman along with a handful of Asian people) doesn't I should feel bad about being there. Right?
I may have been a little more defensive because I had just read, along with everyone else online yesterday, the profile piece on Rachel Dolezal, who managed to pass for "black" for a while before some investigative journalists found that she was not.
A couple of lines deep in the piece struck me:
And with that, the anger that I had toward her began to melt away. Dolezal is simply a white woman who cannot help but center herself in all that she does—including her fight for racial justice.
and …
Perhaps that itself was the secret to the power of the Dolezal phenomenon—the overwhelming whiteness of it all.
As I read this, I started to think the writer meant "white" as an insult. "Oh, I can't be mad at this arrogant, condescending woman (Dolezal). She can't help it. She's white."
But was I correct in thinking that way? I wasn't so sure.
So I did a little experiment. I posted the link on Facebook and Twitter and asked people to give me their reactions before I countered with mine. I didn't want them to be influenced by what I had to say, and I wanted to see if anyone saw the same thing I did.
The short answer: No. No one did. The bulk of the reaction: "This is brilliant." One right-leaning Twitter respondent countered that the story was 10 minutes of her life she'd never get back. On Facebook, someone else (who is not writing from a place of white privilege) called the writer "really annoying."
All of the feedback was good. I don't know how that happened. That might be a first on social media.
And we had a few interesting thoughts on entitlement. Dolezal felt entitled to choose her race, and she still feels entitled to compare her experience as "black" to the experiences of actual black people.
So what we could say is that Dolezal isn't necessarily representative of all whites. But the mentality she has is uniquely white — or, at least, unique to people who don't experience appearance-based discrimination unless they seek it out like a tourist.
Of course, it's tricky because racial labels are slippery. Many years ago, I read a piece from a writer traveling in Brazil who found that people who would be considered "Latin(a/o/x)" in the USA and elsewhere considered themselves "white" in Brazil. I also found myself in a conversation recently in which a fellow Person of Likely European Descent (PLED, a perfect acronym) was accused of seeing a relatively harmless issue through the lens of "white privilege," and others piled on, saying we needed to listen to the accuser because she's a "person of color." She's Asian-American, and while I don't know too much about her, I know she went to very good Boston-area colleges for undergrad and law school. My Starbucks barmate, an African-American man who's old enough to have seen some shit, got a good chuckle out of that.
That's not to deny that Asian-Americans have ever had it tough. Rosa Parks isn't part of their experience, but WWII internment and other atrocities are. They're simply different experiences. Not all "persons of color" have the same circumstances, just as not all white people do.
"White privilege" is real — in certain contexts. A Trump child and a poor kid from a meth-addicted family in Appalachia may not have much in common other than the fact that they'll never face discrimination based on the color of their skin. But that one thing in common is huge.
And, as the person in our discussion insisted, "white privilege" isn't inherently evil. It just is. It's just a blind spot. We have them when we're driving, and it takes a lot of effort to see what's there, and even then, we don't get the best view. And we all have those blind spots, whether it's from race, class or whatever.
One of the people in our Facebook discussion argued that I should try to consider that the author was writing this "to and for other black women." I took issue with that. Then I second-guessed myself again. Here's why:
I'm surely a little defensive this week because I've been shredded on a message board (and elsewhere, but the message board is pertinent here). This message board is by and for lesbians. Years ago, when I noticed it was sending me a lot of traffic and people were discussing my work (at the time, a nice even split of appreciation and criticism), a couple of people from the board reached out and asked me not to identify the board. I agreed, and I agreed I would never post to it — even though it's anonymous and no one would know.
Over the years, that message board has gotten a bit more hostile. I know several people who no longer participate. They hate me, and they hate most women's soccer journalists. But they also hate each other, so we shouldn't take it personally.
It's also become a classic "bubble" in which false narratives and fake news take root. People on that board accused me of taking money from the Washington Spirit to write a blog post that devoted most of its words to criticizing the Spirit but defended the club on two counts most important to them — the "homophobia" charges against the owner and the Ali Krieger trade. (Not the scant return on that trade, just the notion of trading her in general.) And they accused me of other unprofessional conduct as well.
The way it works on that board is this:
Post A: "I wouldn't be surprised if Joe falsified evidence."
Post B: "Yeah, he's a jerk."
Post C: "Yeah, can you believe he falsified evidence?"
Post D: "Yeah. I bet he's also cruel to animals. That's just typical for someone who falsified evidence."
The flip speculation becomes the "truth." It's as true on this board as it is in any obnoxious community of wingnuts who start blaming immigrants and liberals for everything in life.
All a valid concern. But was I incorrectly applying it to this piece on Dolezal? I think so. The target audience may have been "black women," but it's out there for all to see. There's nothing false in it. And others who've read it don't believe that it props up any unfair stereotypes of white people. An intelligent person isn't going to read it and think all white people are like Dolezal. Anyone who does read it that way … well, that person probably brought a few issues to the table already.
And there's value in having a community. A piece that's written "for black women" (or for Hispanic men or Scandinavians or whatever) isn't inherently feeding a malicious bubble. For one thing, there's no barrier to entry. Nothing stopped me from reading that piece. If something had been factually inaccurate (and I didn't see anything of that sort), nothing would stop me from being able to point it out.
That piece may be "for black women." But not in any discriminatory sense. Anyone's welcome. (Now, if a white person tried to pretend to be black … well …)
And that community brings me back to the Aimee Mann/Jonathan Coulton show. Should I feel guilty that I was in a theatre in D.C. watching a show in which we white people joke and write sad songs about how much our lives suck? I don't think so.
It did occur to me that there's some "white privilege" at play in the sense that most of the people in the theatre live relatively comfortable lives in which they can afford to make fun of their own lameness. It's not exclusively white, of course, and there are surely plenty people of color who can relate to Coulton's sad/witty take on suburban ennui and isolation:
And I don't think people would want Coulton writing about the African-American experience, at least not with any pretense of living it first-hand. That would make him … Rachel Dolezal.
But the important thing about communities like the one at the concert or the one reading the Dolezal article isn't who's there. It's who's welcome. Singing or writing a piece that's going to resonate mostly with people of your own skin color isn't inherently wrong. Telling people they're not welcome — that is wrong.
Seems obvious, doesn't it? And yet, the Internet seems to be splitting into communities that refuse to converse with each other. It might be some alt-right race-baiting site. It might be a message board that slanders people in ways that can be Googled, then tells them to quit reacting on Twitter, let alone coming onto the board to try to reason with anyone. We've seen the havoc that such things can wreak in politics. And I have to admit it's been getting me down on a personal level. It's tough to find a place where we belong. Sounds odd coming from someone with more than 1,000 Facebook friends and more than 7,000 Twitter followers (most of whom signed on years ago when I was one of USA TODAY's first Twitter users), but that's where we stand.
Not sure what to do about it. If I were as brilliant as Aimee Mann or Jonathan Coulton, maybe I'd write a song about it.
But the Internet's not all bad. It allows me to write long self-examinations that prove that I engage in long self-examinations. (And if the colleague who accused me of never doing that is reading — hi!)
And Jonathan Coulton has released a lot of songs under a Creative Commons license, so you can enjoy this or several other animations of a song about a zombie trying to convince his co-worker that it's simply not "big picture" of him to try to keep the zombies from eating his brains:
music, personal, videos
Monday Morning Music: Aimee Mann, "31 Today"
I saw Aimee Mann last week, as did a few of my Facebook friends. This video is particularly appropriate because it shows the several sides she shows in concert, backing up her tuneful little paean to loserhood with outright goofiness, provided in this case by Morgan Murphy, who plays the Hanukkah fairy in her Christmas shows.
And it's particularly appropriate for me because my concert ticket was a birthday present. I just turned 31. Plus 10.

Popdose debates: Aimee Mann, The Simpsons
Posted on July 4, 2008 by Beau Dure
Maybe I should spend less time debating issues in the Popdose comments and more time on the blog? I don't know. At the moment, I'm in two interesting discussions on Popdose, which might be a better use of my time since this here blog is going through a dry spell due to a lack of time and lack of traffic.
First up is Aimee Mann and her new album, Bleeping Smilers. "Bleeping" is actually some collection of Beetle Bailey-style punctuation profanity, but I can't be bothered to get it right. Just like Aimee, bless her heart, couldn't be bothered to get this one right.
Ted at Popdose is a little more complimentary, which fits most of the reviews I've seen. I just don't get it. The lyrics — rhyming "Phoenix" with "kleenex," for example — aren't up to her usual work. She's typically a laid-back singer, but on this album, she enunciates like Billy Crystal's old impressions of aging boxers. And the instrumentation is all over the place, as if someone were in the studio with Pink Floyd for Dark Side of the Moon saying, "Hey, you know what this song needs? A banjo!"
None of this is to say it's horrible. There's nothing here that's ear-gougingly bad. It's just disappointing compared to so much of her previous work, like the underrated Lost in Space.
While that debate rages, I find myself disagreeing with Dw. Dunphy, which is unusual. The topic: The Simpsons.
As a member of the Main Stream Media (new motto: the few, the proud, the … um … fewer), I may be a little biased toward institutions that have faded from past glories but are nevertheless worth maintaining. That sentiment is missing from the discussion so far.
Dw. doesn't go overboard. He's not one of these guys confusing cynicism with intelligence like the idiots in college who would tell you Saturday Night Live hasn't been good since (Belushi, Murphy, Carvey, Ferrell) and that MadTV is better. (Loosely translated, that means "I have not developed critical-thinking skills, and you may safely ignore anything I have to say for at least another two years.")
But I disagree with his take that the Simpsons themselves have become too callous. He's right in saying Family Guy sometimes is too mean to be funny (though that applies much more often to South Park, in which the wonderfully incisive satire is sometimes overwhelmed by the sense that the creators think family tragedy is funny in and of itself). I just don't see that in The Simpsons. Homer always learns his lesson, and his love for the wife and kids always wins out in the end.
They've overdone the marital strife, to be sure. But Homer's callousness has always been there. In one of the early classics, his birthday gift for Marge was a bowling ball with Homer's name on it. He'll do the right thing in the end, but he has to be whacked over the head a few times to do it.
In that discussion, I came up with a list of worthwhile episodes from the past three seasons. Yes, they put out some clunkers along the way, though even those have a few good moments.
In looking at both discussions, perhaps I'm being hypocritical here. Aimee Mann and The Simpsons have done terrific work in the past, and they've set a high bar.
My guess is that The Simpsons are trying too hard and overreaching, sometimes coming up with concepts they can't really fit in a half hour. Aimee Mann's new album has the opposite problem. Her album sounds like a mildly intriguing set of demos rather than a completed work.
Yet their high standards just mean they both deserve a chance to be seen and heard even in a crowded marketplace. I'm sure The Simpsons will have a few more good episodes next season, and I'm sure Aimee Mann will have more good songs down the road. They're hitting valleys, not jumping sharks.
If R.E.M. can come up with its best album in 15 years out of nowhere, I'm sure both of these institutions can recover.
Now, about the mainstream media …

Q: Does adding a Task to the return of a method make it run in a thread? I am struggling to find any solid information online, but lets pretend I have a method like below:
public int DoSomething()
{
    // some sync logic that takes a while
    return someResult
}

So lets assume it is a method that is completely sync and currently will block the thread the caller is on for 100ms. So then lets say I wanted to create a version that would not block that thread while it executes, is it as simple as just doing:
public Task<int> DoSomethingAsync()
{
    // some sync logic that takes a while
    return Task.FromResult(someResult)
}

As I know Task.Run will cause code to be executed within a thread, but does .net basically interpret any method with a Task/<T> return type to be something that should be non blocking?
(I am hesitant to use the word async as it has mixed meanings in .net, but as shown above there is no await use here)

A: No. All that changing the return type does is... change the return type.
You're changing your promise from "when I return I will give you an int" to "when I return, I will give you something that will eventually provide an int" (with the caveat that the value may, in fact, already be available).
How your method comes up with the Task is entirely an internal implementation detail that is a concern for your method. In your current changed implementation, it does it by running entirely on the same thread from which it was called and then just stuffing the result into a Task at the end - to no real benefit.
If you had added the async keyword and left the return someResult; line you'd have been given more clues about this by the compiler:

This async method lacks 'await' operators and will run synchronously. Consider using ...

5 songs to explain the impossible nature of Madlib
by Dan-O (after Nate Patrin)
I have massive blind spots in my hip hop history that all trace back to the same period. On Sept 22nd, 1999 when MF Doom released the classic album Operation Doomsday I was getting on a bus to go from basic training to advanced training. Wiki states the release date of the legendary Lootpack album Soundpieces: Da Antidote that started Madlib's legend was June 29, 1999 (I can feel Dart Adams yelling at these dates) and it was on that very day I was packing my things and going into the United States Army for college money and college money alone.
By the time I got out of the service in late 2002 I had lot on my mind. Madlib had already put together a Jazz album himself, pumped out the first Beat Konducta, Quasimoto album and become a work ethic legend. By the time I heard about him having an album called The Unseen under a different name with a pitched up voice I had no idea what I was listening for. I became one of those people who called Madlib overrated simply because I couldn't grasp the volume and creative impact. That can't be all him? He took a $200 machine the length of my foot to a hotel in Brazil and made this beat? Huh?
Nate Patrin's fine work in his recent book on sampling (Bring That Beat Back) really brought me face to face with everything I missed. He patiently and convincingly articulated all the unachievable details of one of hip hops most influential careers. I googled "best Madlib albums" and found an article laying out a strong case for albums I had either heard of and not dug into or never heard of and guess who wrote it? Nate Patrin back in 2017.
An introduction to Madlib in 10 records
So Nate is going to get me Madlib educated. Here are five songs from albums I have been digging that really lay out the case for how far reaching his sound goes.
Moonride by DJ Rels off Theme For A Broken Soul
In 2004 Madlib released an Electronic/House album under the name DJ Rels. Moonride really captures the notion that listening to Madlib during the early 2000's wasn't like hearing a beat from a great producer. As an example, 9th Wonder is a great producer. If you watch his Rhythm Roulette on youtube he cuts up a sample and make his kind of beat in no time. He knows the structure of what he does. Listening to Madlib was like hearing someone perform. No intention on creating a framework or structure to work from in the future just pushing sounds together in unreasonable unregulated ways, flying through genres and influences to find new places and moving on.
Fourty Days by Sound Directions off The Funky Side of Life
Another killer Jazz album under a fake name (released in 2005). Where he is playing instruments and making up names for the fictional band. Very few people have as easy a grasp on the connective tissue from Jazz to Funk to Soul to R & B to Hip Hop. Fourty Days ,as gorgeous as it is, might have been one of seven or more tracks he made that day, which is staggering. A complete rebellion against the perfectionist Detox model of making everything as clean as it can be no matter how long it takes. Madlib knows what done sounds like and very few creators really do.
Movie Finale by Madlib off Beat Konducta Vol. 3 & 4: In India
Having missed the Madlib timeline I was floored on my first listen to this album from 2007 to find a bunch of my favorite beats (or portions of beats) from my favorite Mos Def album (The Ecstatic, 2009). One of the things I deeply admire about Madlib's journey through various forms of music is that he doesn't imitate cultural sounds, he won't clip a sitar sound to dump on top of a standard hip hop format. His process is to take everything he has learned and just live in the space he's in while creating. So you hear the sonic DNA of India organically becoming as mean as James Brown's The Big Payback which eventually becomes a platform for my favorite period of Mos Def meeting one of my favorite Slick Rick verses ever(Auditorium). WOW I owe this dude.
Song For My Father by Madlib featuring Sound Directions off Shades of Blue
I can't even handle this one. I love Horace Silver's 1965 album Song For My Father so much ,for it's thick soul and his heavy fingers on the keys, that this tribute is like candy covered candy. Madlib keeps the funk and the plodding soul but adds more. The guitar feists on the song space and the pace tightens up only to release as the hi-hat leads. It's an evolutionary construction, not a re-do or a remix but a tasteful layering that ends in Horace Silvers voice articulating his own longevity.
The Get Over by Madlib off Beat Konducta Vol. 5
Another thing that separates him from producers who might be "classic era" is that some of them end up working in a specific tempo. Apollo Brown in an interview stated he works in mid tempo boom bap and that's that. It's what he likes to do. Madlib ping pongs from mid tempo to thrashing banger to light and beautiful, nothing is outside of his range. You could have given this beat to Freeway and Beanie back in the ROC days and had chart gold.

Donington Historic Festival 1st and 2nd May 2021
Dates for the Donington Historic Festival have been announced as the 1st and 2nd May 2021. It is therefore a 2 day festival of historic racing where the TR Register will have a stand to welcome all TR Register members and enthusiasts from all over the country.
Whether you're a long-time enthusiast or have never seen a historic racing car in action before, you'll find plenty to entertain you at the Donington Historic Festival. Celebrating the 10th festival in 2021, the event is firmly established as a major fixture on the international historic racing calendar, attracting many thousands of spectators, hundreds of world-class historic racing cars and huge numbers of classic car club displays.
Donington Park has a fabulous history, from the days of the pre-War Silver Arrows GP cars right through to modern times, and the Festival calls upon all that history, creating a fantastic atmosphere at what is arguably the best spectator circuit in the country. As well as watching such iconic machines fighting it out on track, spectators can wander round the race paddocks, enjoying free access and getting up close to the cars and stars. And there are always plenty of off-track attractions and live action and extensive club displays of classic cars from the dozens of car clubs that create a 'living motoring museum' right in the heart of the infield.
The TR Register has registered for the event, details of discounted tickets have not been announced yet. The Leicestershire TR group will host a club stand, hopefully in our usual in a private parking area on the infield of Redgate corner. This great location is close to the pedestrian tunnel under the track that takes you straight into the paddock and pits area. It also offers some great viewing of the start/finish line, Redgate corner and the famous Craner curves. Park your TR with other club members, have a chat over a tea or coffee and even some fresh biscuits, what more could you want for a great day out watching spectacular historic racing with some TR enthusiasts.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Donington Historic Festival!
Details of the unique TR Register 50% discount code and booking instructions can be found here. You need to be a member to access this code.

Cars pass by the American Embassy in Havana, Cuba. In late 2016, U.S. officials at the embassy reported strange symptoms that are still being investigated.
Since then, continuing investigations led by intelligence agencies, scientists and the State Department have become an intricate "whodunnit" with widely varying accounts of the possible causes - and perpetrators - of what were almost immediately labeled as attacks against U.S. personnel.
In 2017, the State Department began investigating a string of complaints from diplomats in Havana. Their symptoms ranged from dizziness and headaches to cognitive disfunction. Those affected also said the symptoms began during or after they heard sounds, similar to those made by cicada bugs, while in their homes or hotel rooms, and felt pressure effects similar to those experienced in a moving car with the windows slightly open.
The Pentagon-sponsored study points to three possible methods which may have been used to disorient the diplomats, but caution that an actual proclamation would be "foolhardy." Perhaps the only solid finding is that drugs and/or toxins were not responsible - although even this comes with a caveat, as an introduced chemical could have been used to exacerbate the effects of an ultrasonic, electromagnetic, or even microwave technology.
Although each of the studies has reported disparate and sometimes contradictory information, all the experts seem perplexed by this Sherlock Holmes-like mystery. While they continue the process of elimination, none have yet to proclaim the likely perpetrator - at least, not officially.
Russian President Vladimir Putin. NBC reported today that U.S. officials believe Russia is behind the "health attacks" against Americans in Cuba.
Officially, US officials are unwilling to assign blame. But NBC reported yesterday that unofficially, officials with the intelligence agencies conducting the investigation believe Russia is behind the attacks. The officials, who were unnamed in the NBC report, reportedly point to "signals intelligence"- typically referring to intercepted communications like emails, phone calls and web chats - collected during the investigation.

Looking for facts and truths about medical weight loss and whether it can help you or not?
This article provides more than enough information to help you.
First, a question for you….
Have you tried to lose weight by going on different diets or embarking on exercise programs and failed to lose the weight that you wanted to get rid of?
Of course you have which is why you are here to learn about medical weight loss!
Look there is no shame in trying to lose weight and failing.
Most people try really hard when they are trying to shed unwanted pounds so it is usually the diet or the exercise routine that you are following that is not right for you.
Some people do get good results from changing diets and participating in exercise routines for weight loss.
They can even lose the weight and keep it off over the long term.
But this is not the case for the majority of people and they will get much better results if they have the support of a medical weight loss team.
Before telling you all about medical weight loss, it's good to do all you can to lose weight, especially as you can actually make money losing weight.
Yes, there's this amazing program from a 100% legit company, HealthyWage that pays people who lose weight, as a way to motivate them to do all they can to lose weight.
Many people have been motivated to lose weight from this program and they have made a lot of money in the process.
For example Jennifer from Richmond, TX, lost 102 lbs in just 10 months and won $4,181!
She first got started with trying to lose weight after a freak accident saw her crash her car when she fell asleep at the wheel.
She knew her over 400 pounds at the time and constant alcohol and processed food were to blame. So she began rigorous efforts to lose weight and within 6 months she lost 75 pounds.
But after that she couldn't lose anymore, despite all she tried.
She felt stuck and knew she needed a better incentive and more motivation to lose more weight.
That was when she found HealthyWage while watching a program on TV.
She was intrigued by the idea and immediately bet $150 with a commitment to lose 100 pounds in 10 months.
That really pushed her to really lose 102 pounds and of course won much more than she bet – she won a staggering $4,180.60.
If she could, you can too.
Click here to check out HealthyWage and see how you too can get paid while losing weight and keeping fit.
With this program you can confidently engage in any medical weight loss program and know you can make money while losing weight.
Let's start by explaining what this method of weight loss really is.
It is a program for losing weight where you have the support of medical professionals.
Knowing it's very hard to try to lose weight on our own, this type of program works with the support of the medical experts.
The medical experts or professionals go above and beyond to try to help you lose weight.
They even design the entire medical weight loss program for you and they supervise your participation in it.
This ensures you have a greater chance of succeeding than when you do it all on your own.
A typical medically supervised weight loss team comprises a physician who is licensed, a dietician, a fitness trainer and a nurse.
Other professionals can be involved as well.
With a medical weight loss program you will learn how to eat healthily and perform the right kind of exercises.
You will also learn how to make the right lifestyle changes so that the weight loss can continue for the long term.
The medical team will help you to identify the bad behaviors that led you to put on the weight in the first place.
Even too much food can be one of such bad behaviors. That's unless you are engaged in food taster jobs where you only taste and still get paid to eat food.
Some medical weight loss programs include FDA approved medications to help you too.
It is not a one size fits all approach.
Your program will meet your individual needs and is completely personalized.
There is a lot more to a medical weight loss program than just losing weight.
It is more about leading a healthier lifestyle and maintaining your ideal weight.
Although this is a tailored program for your specific needs there are a number of common aspects about a medical weight loss program.
The first of these is that you do receive medical guidance and supervision.
The medical team will assist you to change your mindset and resulting behavior through the correct diet and exercise.
You will also receive vital information about nutrition and you will learn about medications for weight loss and meal replacements.
Not everyone has the confidence and skill required to prepare and cook healthy meals. So meal replacements are a good option here.
And no, it's hard to get the right type of food if you are on the lookout for free food.
Healthy foods are what you need here.
These can be a shake, a bar or a pre-packaged meal.
The aim is to make the experience of weight loss as simple as possible.
Advice on sustainability is very much a part of a medical weight loss program.
Personal trainers, dieticians and nutritionists will help you to eat and exercise properly so that you can sustain the weight loss gains that you make.
A lot of people believe that the medically supervised weight loss market is saturated.
They are put off by this as they feel that they will not get the medical supervision that they need to lose weight effectively and keep it off.
There is no truth to this at all.
In fact a study by the CDC (Center for Disease Control) showed that less than 12% of the survey participants stated that a licensed doctor, nurse or other professional had provided them with any advice about weight loss.
There is plenty of room for everyone that needs help.
Talking about a nurses, do you know there are work from home nursing jobs that you can do if you are a nurse?
Here is another myth about medically supervised weight loss – A lot of people think that the large commercial weight loss companies will push them out of the market.
OK, a lot of medical weight loss practitioners do not have the marketing budgets of companies such as Weight Watchers.
But they already have people that know and trust them so finding new clients costs a lot less in marketing terms.
A huge marketing budget is not necessary for medical weight loss practitioners to survive.
Also See: Hobbies To Make Money… including healthy ones for those who want to keep fit.
If you are on a medical weight loss program you will not be obligated to take diet drugs.
Usually the drugs offered are appetite suppressants that people have been taking safely for a number of years.
Examples of these appetite suppressants are brand names such as Ionamin, Fastin, Adipex-p and Pondimin.
These are all versions of Phentermine.
A medical professional is not going to encourage you to take any drugs if they think that there is a risk to your health.
Even if the medical professional is engaged in work from home online medical transcription jobs, they are well trained on what to do and usually know better.
There are many weight loss products and guides that promise the world. The trouble is that not every combination of diet and exercise is going to be successful for everyone.
A medical team will conduct an assessment to determine your current levels of activity and your overall lifestyle and then design the right program for you.
Yes, there are activities you could be engaged in that are right for you and those that are wrong for you.
Activities that get you paid such as doing dog walking jobs are definitely right for you, even if you do them for fun, unlike drinking and partying for fun.
A medical team will know the difference and design the right program for you.
When this happens you end up with specific goals that are personal to your circumstances.
If the medical team requests that you make changes to your program then you will know that this will only have a positive effect on your results.
If you are following a diet and exercised plan unsupervised then there is a much greater chance that you will go off the rails and eat some of the wrong things or miss some exercise sessions.
With a carefully planned and monitored medical weight loss program this is less likely.
The medical team will understand if you do make the wrong choices at times and they are not there to judge you.
They know that everyone makes mistakes sometimes and with their continued support you are much more likely to make the changes required to lose weight and be healthier.
There are other weight loss programs and products out there which do help a lot of people to shed the weight that they desire.
The problem is with most of these programs is they are difficult to stick to over the long term.
Unlike paid clinical trials, with medically supervised weight loss you will learn how to change your lifestyle so that you can keep your weight loss gains in the future.
You will be able to change your lifestyle so that weight management becomes an essential part of your day to day life.
As I said in the beginning of this article, it's definitely good to do all you can to lose weight, especially as you can actually win money losing weight.
Yes, there's this life-changing weight loss program from a 100% legit company, HealthyWage that pays people who lose weight, as a way to motivate them to do all they can to lose weight.
You simply bet on yourself, on how much weight you want to lose, and at the time you want to lose the weight. And if you achieve your target, you win A LOT more than you bet.
Trying to lose weight can be very challenging, whether you go the medical weight loss method or not. That's why awesome programs like the one from HealthyWage help to provide the motivation, accountability and (most importantly) fun needed to encourage you to lose the weight.
Everyday people like you are winning thousands of dollars setting goals to lose weight and achieving the goals.
Yes, another real-life example is Glenn from Cedar Grove, NC. He also lost 102 lbs in just 10 months and won $1,383!
He needed all the motivation you could get and found HealthyWage. That got him started and he bet just $40 with the goal of losing 100 pounds in 10 months.
Guess how much more he made? He made a staggering $1,383 from the $40 by losing 102 pounds within the 10 months.
He simply got rid of processed foods, sugar and meat from his diet, which all helped him achieve his goals.
Even his exercise strategy was simply walking. He was able to achieve all this and make the extra $1,138, all thanks to HealthyWage.
If he could, so can you.

Every year millions of people in Britain try to lose weight, and most fail. We are constantly bombarded with advice about dieting and the latest slimming fads. But what really works? In this programme, medical journalist Michael Mosley investigates the latest scientific breakthroughs in slimming, uncovering ten of the simplest ways you can shed those pounds. From the slimming secrets of soup to our brain's response after skipping meals, what he discovers may completely change the way you think about diets, health and losing weight.
Michael does not look like he is at all overweight, but while making this film he discovered that he, like millions of others, has internal body fat around his kidneys and liver that he really needs to lose. So he tries out the scientific tips himself, and by the end of the film he succeeds in losing the weight he wants. Plus, musician Alex James, who is a passionate cheese maker, tries out an intriguing scientific discovery - that low-fat dairy products can help you excrete more fat from all your food.
Radio presenter Amy Lame learns how just a few small changes in her daily routine can help burn significantly more calories, which is handy for those who hate exercise and the gym. And actress Debbie Chazen, who eats healthy foods, has her metabolism checked and keeps a food diary - with some surprising results.
We discover the scientific reasons why soup keeps you feeling fuller for longer than solid food: it's all to do with the particular way the stomach shrinks and expands, and we'll prove it using ultrasound scans of Territorial Army recruits. Full of practical tips and scientific insights, we discover how anyone can lose weight more easily.
ooh so much so much. 1) wouldn't it be great to have National healthcare where we could all get ourselves examined to see what's going on. 2) Lots of little doo dads. I asked a woman who had lost a lot of weight once what she did and when she said EAT LESS i was crushed because I knew i couldn't. 3) Protein may keep you full but some of us want to eat less meat to No meat. and beans are pasty. Can a protein shake with low fat milk work? 4) LOW FAT? I often see LO-CAL but rarely low fat (on dairy) gotta lotta searching to do.
Really good post! Hope there will be more good post here!Thanks for sharing valuable information. great video.
Thank you very much for making this film! I love the idea of achieving big changes by implementing small ones into my daily routine and the advice shown in the movie will help me do just that ^^ Thanks!
That fat around your kidney houses your adrenal glands and performs an important shock absorption function.
There is fat dispersed internally for a reason.
Some fat is necessary, but a lot of fat is dangerous!
What about the vast majority of Nonwhite people who can't digest dairy? As though dairy is the only source of calcium instead of healthy, cholesterol free, pus and blood free, cruelty free dark green vegetables.
I agree completely with the tendency to under report calories. It's so easy to forget extra things that add up - olive oil when cooking, a random snack or taste of something offered by a friend, sauces, etc.
The documentary is really informative and uplifting. I had no clue what the afterburn effect was, or that protein, calcium or a regular soup had such a favorable impact on slimming.
I don't know what people don't understand..it's calories in vs calories out...duh...I lost 25 lbs by doing this...No expensive, ridiculous weight loss companies wanting ypu to eat "their food". Change what you eat to more plant-based foods..eat less...done!
NO its not "calories in vs calories out" you obeously knnow nothing about nutrision.
A calorie in never a calorie, it depends on where it comes from, the source ex white flower or vegetable calorie brakes down differently in the body and becomes energy very differently.
I can eat 6000cal from protein and fat and not gain a pound . god must really like you. unless your talking about a week not a day.
Or he's already weights around 600 pounds.
In other news, famed scientist John Stejre has demonstrated the Laws of Thermodynamics are wrong.
Laws of thermodynamics also states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. But it also can be transfered into a different form, another compound that has potential energy. You took his statement quite literally my friend.
The body processes calories differently, depending on the source. Complex carbs take more energy to break down than refined/processed/simple carbs. If you go low carb, your body will go into ketosis and you will urinate out ketone bodies. It takes energy to break down fat, which is part of why Atkins/low carb diets actually WORK for most people who actually follow them (i.e. not someone who eats fried chicken with sugary dressings in a tortilla wrap twice per day and calls it "low carb").
I'm confused here... scientific analysis of the poo samples taken said that there was double amount of the fat excreted when Blur man was on the high calcium diet than when he was not. The conclusion at the end of that from the presenter was that an individual that followed a high calcium diet 'MAY' help with weight loss. How come 'may'? Wasn't it already proven in the scientific trial that it will? Or am I missing something?..
They said 'may' to cover their asses. Since people different from each other, each person will react to a certain diet differently than the next. It also depends on the demographic that they studied and how many participants they have had. This is what makes nutrition hard, each diet is unique to an individual. So keeping in mind that last sentence, following a high calcium diet may or may not help you lose weight depending on how your body reacts to the said diet.
While people who have trouble losing weight try to justify themselves with the "special snowflake" excuse, barring specific medical problems, the human body works very much the same for all human beings. And even the "special snowflakes" will often benefit from the same exact common sense information in the documentary. I was born with a rare genetic disorder by which my body makes less of a chemical needed to burn stored fatty acids, but I do exactly the same things in the documentary: portion control, sensible food choices, exercises. And while I may have to work harder than others, I have low body fat and am in great shape.
English is preferred here. The "special snowflake" excuse is some obscurity.
Quit trolling, otherwise you are out of here!
I am not trolling. I am seeking meaning where obscurity was given.
The "special snowflake" expression is English.
Is it? The two individual words are English, but what do they mean as a duo in the sentence above?
i love how everyone here thinks their an expert. Someone on a low carb diet can lose more weight eating more then they were before. So there goes your theory about calories in vs calories out.
I just saw this, it aired in NZ last night and like a lot of you found it very interesting, unfortunately I only saw it from about number 4 onwards. Did anyone take all of this down or are they able to provide a link to the info? I'm particularly interested in the bit about breakfast. I use to muesli and fruit but guarantee that within an hour I was hungry again. For breakfast this morning (7.30am after an hour work out at the gym) I had ham, baked beans and mushrooms on toast (forgot to take an egg to work with me) and lo and behold I only began to get peckish about 11.50am. Amazing!!
This was interesting. It seemed to end before the documentary was complete. I do question some of the information, especially the part on dairy. The more high fat dairy in your diet may produce more fat in your poo but it also produces more fat in your blood stream. Non-dairy alternatives like margarine actually produce more plaque in your blood stream, so natural fats are better for you, but I wouldn't go hog wild with it. Fats actually bind to high fiber veggies, like carrots really well, if they are eaten at the end of a high fat meal - which seems to make more common sense to me.
They didn't say high fat dairy, they said low-fat dairy. The guy was taking in the same total amount of fat both weeks, just from different sources. The difference is that the week when he didn't have dairy he didn't get the extra calcium to "wash" out the fat from his body before it could absorb it.
Eat low fat dairy, get sleep, its not your metabolism, exercise daily, eat smaller portions and blend your food.
dairy is horrible - the one thing that makes me pack it on. beef, milk, cheese - cow products. blech.
I liked this documentary. Alot of useful tips, and things that I didn't already know about. The only problem I have is, why the hell you decided to cut the ending off! You should probably add that on.
How seriously can you take a doctor who says "I'm not too keen on exercise" and still hopes to keep weight off healthily? No "science-based" plan, as he puts it, is going to relieve him of the need - the absolute necessity - to exercise.
Only need one way.. it's a magical diet I have been thinking up for a while now. It's called the "Eat less food" diet. If having too much food to eat has become an issue then you have a very cushy life and maybe give some food to people that need it. If weight is an issue then simply stop lifting your hand to your mouths a bit. Er am I missing something?
OH! Just eat less!? Well why didn't someone just tell us that sooner, maybe everyone would be skinny! Obviously you've never had a problem with food. It's just a bit more complicated than that for some people.
We all have the best idea on dieting. But I have found the best of all diets. You can eat what you want and never need to exercise. If you wish to add exercise and watching what you eat into it you can do at your own leisure.
8 to 10 glasses every day!
And it needs to be Ice cold water.
hits your other organs into your bladder.
I lost 52 lbs in 3 months.
hit the veggies and fruits.
Grab and apple instead of a Snickers.
sometimes difficult to lose weight at times.
I'm someone who bases theories on nothing but Logic. And that seemed rather logical to me. It made sense. I'm a professional personal trainer, and I might recommend this diet to my clients if it works as well as it has for you. So all it is, is just 8 to 10 glasses of ice cold water, spread out throughout the day, and you'll lose a ton of weight? :) Thanks!
Even if you drink tons of ice cold water you won't be able to burn off enough calories to be able to eat whatever you want :/ I can see that you would burn a few extra cals by it being cold and that drinking that much would keep you a little fuller, but this is an addition to a good diet. Not a diet itself.
Yes, this works, as I have done a variation of it for years, each summer during gardening season. I get very hot and thirsty gardening so every few hours I gulp down as much of my 50 degree well water as I can. It gives me a bloated feeling and kills my appetite immediately. I dropped from 198 lbs down to 169 lbs in three months this year, without having any hunger pangs or desire to eat. Whether a non-workaholic could do this I don't know, as being hot and thirsty is the driver of the process I think.
Unfortunately as soon as my gardening workout is over for the year my weight starts back up as my appetite returns. My waist goes from 38 to 32 inches and back again each year, as my weight goes from near 200 lbs down to 150 lbs and back.
The best tip I got for weight loss was to get your fitness training done in the morning before you eat anything, your body tucks into your fat stores for energy.
5) Don't expect to stand in back of them and be seen in a picture!(No 3-D version in that shot.) This is only for a before and after shot.
6) Don't mention that you're on a vegetarian diet in front of them!
10) Don't (and this is very important) by any means follow them in a buffet line and listen to them describe every item in the menu! ( they are well educated in the anatomy of animals and are known through out the community as "The Deli Trio".
These women are very skilled in deception and should be aproached cautiously because they are very sneaky in their natural habitat.
Don't bother learning to spell.
I'm surprised she hasn't dumped your loser, alcoholic and vile a$$ already.
So-so doc, many of things are commom sense. Rememeber hearing the same things in second grade. Eat more protein, cut the carbs and excercise, why is that so complex?
Wow this "afterburn" phenomenon is so interesting! It never occurred to me that this existed though it makes perfect sense!
as for the milk thing, wonder if specially processed lactose-free milk also works.
I don't need to lose weight but I really enjoyed this documentary. it's both informative AND interesting.
Excellent documentary, very informative and it shows that small changes in lifestyle can really go along way. Also the soundtrack was fantastic; Radiohead, Bjork, Blur it was sweet lol.
The calcium bit was only about dairy calcium not all types of calcium and they did say you should have low fat dairy options like skimmed milk, low fat creme fraiche, low fat cottage cheese they weren't suggesting you eat lots of high fat dairy. So you would absorb calcium from other sources, but I agree its not clear if it makes the dairy calcium more difficult to absorb or not!
They didn't re-scan him so it wasn't clear how much visceral fat he had lost....would have been interesting to see the difference.
1/ Did Mr Mosely go back for a MRI scan to establish how much of his 5kg weight loss was visceral fat, how much other fat and how much muscle? Is there any DIY method for measuring visceral fat ? I use a special plastic caliper to measure overall body fat as this is claimed to be far more reliable than any technique other than full immersion especially the electrical resistance ones.
2/ The idea of dietry calcium stopping fats being metabolised is fascinating. As well as the earlier question about possible loss of calcium, I wonderer whether this effects all fats equally, or is it biased towards un-saturated or saturated or trans etc. Also how much is removed? Did I see a figure of 5gms per day which would equate to a useful but not vast 45 cals? What would be the effect of say a tablespoon of fat-free yoghurt with or immediately after a fat containing meal?
well i didnt no that you could still burn fat after exercise (afterburn) this makes me feel all the better for exercising.But what would happen if i had a carbohydrate rich meal ie cous cous after i exercise. would this stop the afterburn process because i have topped up on carbs?
In fact, I have watched this documentary on Dubai Channel two days ago. I liked it very much, but I wasn't ablt to see it from the beginnig. I spent long time looking for it on the internet. Finally I found it. It is different and based on scientific experiments that we were able to watch while other (advice) based on experiments that we just read about! Thanks to all those contributed to this documentary.
How informative and eye opening. Has made my resolve to lose weight more determined. I like Charles B will put my blender to good use.
Wow. I need to eat more protein. I eat cereal for every breakfast, but it's high calorie, but by the time lunch time comes, I'm very hungry and can overeat. More protein in the morning would help stave off hunger pains longer.
I wish this would tell us how to redude an already enlarged stomach.
I need to get a blender so we can make soups.
hunger pains.. Really.. hunger pains. Check yourself. for real. Omg the hunger pains. Keep the hunger pains at bay. Dear god. That's insane.
I've been to Canada twice @Trippinrob. I spent one year there and I must say it is an amazing country... and people are exceptionally polite and easy going.
I've found that alternate day fasting has realy benefited me in my weight loss pursuits. I seem to have a very slow system that requires more time to digest, so by only eating on every other day I find that my weight is gradually decreasing (approx 4 lbs per month) and my general feeling of comfort is far higher than previously.
Absolutely! I alternate Atkins diet with all fruit diet, eat only bananas for breakfast, fruit all day long, cleans out the body. Fast a few days, with Welches concord grape juice, all that for a couple of weeks.
Then still eat lots of fruit, with proteins, lots of exercise, which should not be an option. It is my ongoing regime, lost about 60 pounds overall within 6 months, reduced my waist from 42 inches to 32 inches. And am never hungry.
I used to be a great advocate of the Atkins diet when I was in my 30's, but now I'm in my 40's I need something a bit more mean. To keep my fabulous figure ;-) I now do regular, periodic fasting and find it really works for me.
My 30 day cycles include: 1 x 5 day fast, 1 x 3 day fast and 2 weeks of alternate day fasting. The benefits to me are both physical and lifestyle. Keep in mind I was 17st 10lb when I began, so plenty of fat resources to feed from. The physical is obvious I lose around 8lbs of flab each month, the lifestyle is great because even though I'm dieting I can have a function each weekend and blow out still.
holy HELL great soundtrack! boc ftw!
I did like this documentary. it was great.
What a great documentary. In fact, I've been using several of the tips and they certainly haven't hurt. I've suggested that several of my friends see the video.
Still, the biggest thing is counting calories. The better the counting the easier it is to monitor your weight.
It was interesting to hear the correlation between being hungry and craving high fat/calorie foods. I've noticed that when I get hungry, I'm much more drawn to the cookies rather than the carrots sticks and often wondered why that was.
I'm also a believer in the findings that choice leads to higher calorie intake. I always prefer a bit of a palette of flavours. So, if I'm somewhere that variety is plentiful (sushi for example or an indian buffet), I'm much more likely to leave feeling like I've way over eaten.
I was wondering about the calcium bit. If the calcium binds to the fat and is excreted, does that mean the body misses out on the calcium too? Do bones suffer as a result?
I like the emphasis on only bothering with scientifically established fact, rather than the usual conjecture. With that in mind, Lee Evans, do you have any references for your comment above re eating carbs during the day vs during the evening?
Saying "not all calories are equal" is like saying "not all degrees of centigrade are equal" - a "calorie" is simply a measurement of energy, and yes, they are all as equal as degrees centigrade, inches, or litres.
If you want to say all "sources" of calories are not equal, that would be correct. However, it's also something so obvious that anyone with even the basic knowledge of food intake knows, and therefore it's either a simple-minded or insulting comment.
Atkins will put you into ketosis, which is quite effective (and possibly neuroprotective), but evidence points that between diet and longevity, the lower your metabolic rate, the longer you will live. So best of luck to you Charles B.
oh and the paleo diet Achems mentions- I can personally vouch that on a diet of mostly nuts, eggs, seeds, and fruit, your body will begin to balance itself out.
HaHa, Want to loose weight? Try the Paleo diet.
Or, if you want loose weight fast, Google..."Atkins diet"
Oooooooooo! I have to watch this one again! And take notes. I want to live to be 100, but I need to take off the weight in order to live a longer more healthy life. It's really not easy at all.
The soup technique works! I have been blending my food (vegetables, potatoes etc) into a pureed soup. I have lost weight and it does work, just make sure you have some protein in the soup as well.
Great doc, and great information.
The "calories in to calories expended" ratio is a little outdated to be the focal point. Not all calories are equal. This doc lightly touches on how endocrinology impacts metabolism, and would have done well to expand upon this.
The things you eat and the timing to which you eat them could use more attention, because they impact all sorts of neglected topics in weight regulation (and overall well being). For example, if you eat starchy, carbohydrate-rich foods during the daylight hours, your body will use it to synthesize serotonin, to later be turned into melatonin come nighttime. Your glycogen stores will replenish, and you can use that up during the day. Conversely, if you eat those starchy foods before bed, it raises the chance that the glycogen created then will be relocated to fat storage.
Sorry for being long winded haha. Some things just seem as if they would be common sense if the public paid more attention to science, and less to opinion programming.
The calcium bit is interesting. They list dairy calcium specifically as binding to the dietary fat in digestion. I'd like to see a bioavailability chart that wasn't funded by the dairy industry.
"Calories in to caories expended" is a scientific fact. There have been numerous studies published in well respected medical journals where people were fed diets with different macronutrient ratios but with the same calories. Everyone looses the same amount of weight in the long run! That is a fact. However, which ratio is better for overall health and well being is debateable.
So that explains why some people are not absorbing calcium.

Turning chiles into products, strangers into people you know.
I've worn the rubber gloves, face mask, protective lenses, hard hat, plastic apron, earplugs, hairnet and sturdy shoes you need to wear for a job at the chile processing plant.
I've felt like a Muslim at Mecca, when they walk in an immense wheel of humanity around the Kab'ah, enveloped in a large white cloth that covers economic and cultural differences.
Usually when I see people from the chilera outside work, I stop and stare before I go up and say hi. It's surprising how much hair style determines overall appearance. They are almost unrecognizable without their casco, or helmet.
That Mexican man in the supermarket line, who at work I had thought looked almost like an Anglo, has jet black hair. That woman from Palomas who looked so plain with her casco on has beautiful honey-brown hair and looks like a Madonna with her child on her lap.
People who work at the chileras are almost entirely Mexicans with little education, many of them illiterate. Spanish is the lingua franca, although many more people are able to speak English here than in the fields. I have a degree from a liberal arts college, and have no children. Most women there—the ones that I knew—had their first child when they were about 15.
From the standpoint of labor rights, I was always interested to see what work at the chile plant, Border Foods, was like. But the times I've worked there it's because I absolutely needed to because I was in debt. I basically felt as if wild horses were dragging me. I was sometimes crying on the way there. Well, to be honest, sometimes yelling or swearing.
Once, I was going into the plant with a grim look, maybe with a tear still on my eyelashes, to face 10 hours of manual labor, when a man with a bushy moustache shrugged his shoulders and grinned broadly at me as if to say, "Aw, don't take yourself so seriously. We know it's rotten work, but it's fun." (Or words to that effect.)
He was right, it is fun. I shook off my martyr complex and strode in with a little lighter step.
Horseplay is Border Foods' middle name. Guys are always coming up behind other people to shake them, shout in their ear, cuff them on the side of the head, tap one shoulder when they're on the other side, or make their knees buckle from behind.
I remember the 30-ish guy named Raul who imitated the famous Mexican comedian Cantinflas with his low-slung pants and the little dance he did when he swept up a can. He'd kick it in the air and it would land in the dustbin. It makes me wonder who was the original, Cantinflas or guys like Raul.
And there was Delia, the young woman from Cuernavaca, who had a lively way of acting out chicken jokes, that made us all smile at each other.
There were times when we all got involved making little rabbit ears or antennae with tape and putting them on top of someone's casco without their knowing it. Or sometimes sticking a tail on them. It really took a lot of subtlety and deftness, even acting ability.
One of my favorite people was Luz, a thin Indian woman from Mexico City with whom I worked the first year. We worked in the "hot box," a room still sweaty-hot when we came in for the night shift. Luz and I sat chatting as we kicked off our shoes (against the rules) to feel the delicious coolness on our feet.
When we were working with her jealously guarded piece of metal with tape wrapped around it, used as a cutter, she'd utter in a dramatic, husky voice, "Agarralo!" (grab it) whenever we moved to another area. We had some good giggles.
I got talking with a married guy, Jose, a Nahuatl Indian who had been an eyewitness to the massacre at Tlaltelolco in Mexico City, from 10 stories up, when he was 14. He is one of the two or three people in my life with whom I've had a conversation where time truly flew—making a half-hour pass like seven or eight minutes. (This was a tough one for me.)
Once a guy beside me on the chile line kept making inane, amorous comments and asked for a ride home, when he really had his own car. I almost left work because of it. When I finally rejected his advances, there was a brief stunned look on his face.
When I got to the parking lot the next day, he walked right over to me. He had a tear in his eye and respectfully asked my forgiveness. The night before, he said, he had a dream that he killed his son. I've never seen anybody change so completely and so quickly, so sincerely. We laugh about it now.
In retrospect I was like a miner, exploring veins of humanity, mining into a nasty-smelling, clanking, noisy, roaring chile plant to find seams of gold. Mining into "them" to find "us" (maybe "us," who read this paper, and "them," not).
It would be dishonest of me to say that I always have a lot to say to people whose lives are so circumscribed by family and have so little education, when I live in a world of books. Often I'd spend lunch time sitting out in my car.
Or that I always get along with them. At times "they" can be small-minded, obscene, corrupt or crude. I once had my keys stolen from me, and strongly suspect it had something to do with my having been given a cushy job on a machine with lots of down time.
But overriding all that by far is the kindness, generosity and friendship I experienced. There are monumental differences sometimes, but sometimes they seem small.
There are people like Ruth, so full of grace and humor, always rushing to smooth over hurt feelings. Her son took classes in computer repair in Juarez so he could fix computers in the US. He sat and read flyers on investment at lunch.
There was the illiterate man Jose, whose son was a teacher in Chihuahua. There was Clementina, whose sister worked in Boston, where I lived for 18 years. And Valente, whose son was an engineer in Arizona.
I, after working there so long, now have a commonality of experience with them. I saw Maria a while ago, looking positively middle class in her simple black dress, buying tiles in Deming. We stopped to chat about job openings at the chilera and an arrogant chile grower we both know.
"We" and "they" are really, concretely collapsed into one here in Deming. It's a little scary.

John Constantine Hellblazer #1
by Nick Devonald on November 27, 2019
Writer: Simon Spurrier
Art: Aaron Campbell
Colors: Jordie Bellaire
Letters: Aditya Bidikar
I was really impressed by last months Sandman Universe Presents: Hellblazer #1, the reintroduction of John Constantine to a mature label. I felt Si Spurrier had a really good grasp on the character and this new set-up had me incredibly excited about the characters future. This, technically the first issue in the new John Constantine Hellblazer solo series, delivers on every front. It is so good. Any fan of John Constantine from old NEEDS to have this series on their pull list. And it's so well written that newcomers wanting to see what all the fuss is about will have absolutely no trouble following along.
The humour is spot on, making me chuckle more than once. But more than anything Spurrier captures just what it is about John Constantine that makes the character so enjoyable to read. He's not a hero, by any definition. But he also tries to do the right thing, which is usually very morally grey. It's never black and white in Constantines world. He's the kind of guy you wouldn't mind having the odd pint with but you wouldn't want to be friends with him. But he's so much fun to read.
We start off with Constantine reacquainting himself with a London he hasn't been in for many years. There has always been something so incredibly British about Constantine and it's so perfectly captured here, just small details like the price of cigarettes, and the trend for vaping, and it just feels so perfect. Plus a cameo from a certain Prime Minister. Then there's all the different accents which are so well written. And the swearing. It's an adult comic and it feels like one too.
John spending a bit of time reacquainting himself with London is a stroke of genius on many fronts. It's a good introduction to who he is for new readers who get a moment to understand the sort of guy he is. It also lets readers of the Vertigo series know that Black Label are taking him back to his roots and they're serious about getting it spot on. Plus it firmly places him in our London. And unlike a lot of first issues it doesn't feel like a lot of time is spent setting the story up, instead we're thrown straight in, which elevates it above the typical #1.
Of course this is John Constantine we're talking about, and after introducing what will hopefully be a recurring character in the form of Nat it isn't long before he finds himself in trouble. Trouble in this instance takes the form of a local gang who have found themselves in a spot of supernatural trouble which they believe Constantine can help them out with.
The gang leader is a real piece of work. I can't emphasise just how atmospheric this comic is, between the writing, the characterisation, the art and the colors, it is awesome. This is horror done right.
The artwork from Aaron Campbell is fantastic. After enjoying Marcio Takara's art on the Sandman Universe Presents: Hellblazer #1 I wasn't sure how to feel about the art duties passing onto Aaron Campbell. My concerns were unfounded, he captures the character, he captures London, perfectly. He manages to really capture the horror from the supernatural, as well as the more mundane gang horror, in such a way it is genuinely creepy.
It is also reminiscent of a lot of the older Vertigo series which is an added bonus for me. It's left me with a real sense of nostalgia for that older series and I think I'm going to have to grab my old trades and immerse myself in Constantines world once again.
And of course I couldn't mention the art without commenting on Jordie Bellaire's wonderful colors. They contribute enormously towards making the art really stand out. So much of this comic is in shadows and at night time and a less skilled color artist wouldn't let Campbells artwork stand out as well as it does. The colors really contributes well to the fantastic atmosphere created in the comic.
I'm of the opinion if colors are done well they almost fade into the background, letting the art and story take front and center. Here however the colors are so well done you can't help but notice them.
On a separate note I am in awe of Jordie Bellaire, between her colors here and writing duties on Buffy she is up there on my list of comic creators to watch out for.
A good story can elevate average art, great art can make up for a poor story, brilliant colors can hide distract from below par art. When all three are outstanding it produces a comic of the highest standards and that's what we have here.
I can't rave enough about what a good issue this is. I don't think I realised how much I needed this series until I started reading it. If this is the standard from DC's Black Label I think we're in for a real treat. I am so excited for the future of John Constantine. If I could award more than 10/10 I wouldn't hesitate. I can't remember the last time I read a #1 and felt this excited about what's to come.

I've seen this show mentioned on this site a couple of times, so I thought I'd post this. For those of us on the other side of the pond, PBS will air Call the Midwife, which includes Spooks alum Jenny Agutter, starting on Sunday 30 Sept, 2012.
Sweet pea, what did you think? I loved this series. Since read the first book as well which is also worth reading. The scene with Miranda in gave me goose pimples - so good!
I enjoyed the show and liked seeing London at that time and place. Then again, I'm predisposed to good British dramas as well as period pieces.


I speak on behalf of the EU and its Member States. DG, it is an honour to have you with us in Budapest. Upon your election we promised to always listen to you, and thus it is a pleasure to see that you in turn have come here to listen to us.
We welcome the drive with which you have assumed office. Truly, you have hit the ground running, and have set about steadfastly working to maintain and strengthen WHO's role as the global leader on health issues.
In May we called upon you to work on sustainable financing, transparency, priority setting, accountability and alignment across the three levels of the organization. We note with appreciation that these aspects are reflected in the concept note on GPW that you have put forward.
To build upon this promising foundation, we would like to highlight the following.
We underline WHO's mission as a health organization, with not just disease on the agenda. WHO needs to focus on prevention and promotion, not only on treatment and response.
We emphasize a stronger focus on cross-cutting issues, including human rights, right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health, and gender.
We voice our support for an extraordinary EB in November, and would like to use that time to discuss the GPW only. In the upcoming meetings on the GPW, however, we would appreciate having a systematic presentation on what will change in relation to the the present work of the organization. On our part, we assure you of our continued constructive participation in the future debates over the GPW.

Q: Oracle Apex 19 - lov does not read another lov selected value I'm using Oracle Apex 19.
On a page i have two LOV's (List Of Values). The second LOV is loaded with a function which have to read the value given from the first LOV. Setting the second LOV as parent cascading LOV for the first LOV did not help. After introducing an on_change Dynamic Action that submits the page it seems to run correctly but it's too early for the page values that could not be complete.

A: You should use cascading List Of Values.


FC Barcelona have a test in Texas this Tuesday, when they take on Italian side AS Roma at the 105,000 capacity AT&T Stadium. The game is the club's second of their U.S.tour, and pits them against the side who eliminated them from last year's Champions League at the quarterfinal stage.
The opening contest of the preseason tour saw Barça draw 2-2 with Tottenham, subsequently beating Premier League team 5-3 in the resulting penalty shootout. Whilst the majority of the travelling squad have taken the trip from Los Angeles to Dallas, Denis Suárez and André Gomes have returned to Barcelona after suffering injuries, and Lucas Digne is pending news on his future.
Marc-André Ter Stegen has joined up with the group, but the goalkeeper is unlikely to get minutes on Tuesday after limited training time.
Like Barça, Roma have also played Tottenham this summer in the International Champions Cup, losing 1-4. They have all of their star players available, and have been busy in the transfer market with the signings of Javier Pastore, Justin Kluivert and Davide Santon.

The Ninnion Tablet, dated to approximately 370 BC, is a red clay tablet depicting the ancient Greek Eleusinian Mysteries (religious rites connected to Greek mythology). It was rediscovered in Eleusis, Attica in 1895, and is kept in the National Archaeological Museum of Athens.

Content
The tablet depicts Iacchus leading a procession of initiates into the Mysteries. Receiving this group are the deities Demeter and Persephone. Above the artifact's main scene are multiple representations of the moon. The Ninnion Tablet is the only known original representation of the Mysteries' initiation rites.
