Our updated impressions
The Asus Zenfone 2 fills an interesting niche as an Android phone full of deep customizations, yet one that sells for half the price of similarly sized phablets.
Typically, Android tinkers who want to invest a lot of time into customizing their phone also have to pay full price for a flagship. But Zenfone 2 turns that concept on its meditating head.
At $300 unlocked (about £210, AU$408) and now available in the US, it's a bargain for a 5.5-inch display that's as big as a the LG G4 and iPhone 6 Plus, and specs that include an speedy Intel processor and 4GB of RAM.
There's an even cheaper $200 (about £139, AU$272) model with a slower Intel chip and just 2GB of RAM, but the 4GB version is the one that's going to last you some time – if it holds up.
Where Zenfone 2 makes its compromises to hit that price point is in its build quality and camera. Its easy to spot the flaws of its cheaper plastic construction and poor 13-megapixel camera sensor.
That said, the Zenfone 2 remains one of the most inexpensive ways to upgrade to Android 5.0 Lollipop with enough processing power leftover, as long as you don't care about style or outer quality.
Zenfone 2 is true to its unintentional theme of finding internal strength and beauty because, on the outside, this isn't a very pretty or strong phone.
It feels more cheaply made than it looks. This is thanks to the artfully deceptive, brushed metal design on the back cover and Gorilla Glass 3 with an anti-glare coating on its 5.5-inch display.
But holding the phablet in my stretched out hand, I could tell the difference between it and the glass-backed Samsung Galaxy S6 and aluminum-backed iPhone 6 right away.
I could also see the difference in quality as my stretched out hand accidentally dropped the phone and its top-right corner met pavement. Cracks spread across the surface and a frown stretched across my face.
This unintentional drop test was a tumble at 32 inches (81cm), rather than a direct drop, from my pocket. The phone's bulkier-than-normal phone didn't fit in my jeans as well as I had expected.
While Samsung and HTC upgraded their flagship phones to Gorilla Glass 4, Asus stuck with the previous generation's less durable material. LG G4 kept Gorilla Glass 3 too, but at least it features a slight curve that might have saved this phone from its now unsightly blemish.
Despite the plastic body and cheaper glass construction, the Zenfone 2's dimensions and weight are less svelte, as expected given its price.
Its curved back gives it a thickness of 10.9mm. By comparison, the Galaxy S6 is 6.8mm, the HTC One M9 is 9.4mm and the LG G4's thickest point is 9.8mm.
The rest of the measurements are actually competitive. It's 152.5mm in length with a 77.2mm width. But, at 170g, it weighs slightly more than everything but the iPhone 6 Plus.
Zenfone 2 also cheaps out on the power button. It sits at the top of the phone, in an odd center location, and has little tactical feedback, almost as if it's broken. Luckily, the phone's software makes use of the handy double-tap-to-wake screen feature introduced in the LG G2.
While the power button is annoyingly squishy, the volume buttons have the necessary clicky feedback, taking cues from LG with their location on the back.
Three capacitive buttons for back, home and recent line the bottom of the display, but are neither on-screen buttons, like on some Androids; nor do they light up, like on Samsung devices. This makes it difficult if you're moving from a Samsung phone (where the back and recent buttons are swapped), as you may have trouble getting used to this order in the dark.
There's a single loud-sounding speaker, but it stretches across the back of the phone, which means calls on speakerphone and music point in the wrong direction. Costlier phones like the Galaxy S6 have moved the speaker to the bottom of the phone. Better yet, the HTC One M9 has stereo speakers on the front.
Asus Zenfone 2 can compete on size, especially for the price. Its large 5.5-inch display, which is slowly becoming the norm among Android phones, feels very roomy.
Everything from typing out messages to getting work done on the spacious, LED-backlit LCD is a little bit easier, and this phablet has enterprise-ready specs to back up that work.
But don't expect a super-rich screen for fun multimedia. Its diagonal measurement matches the 5.5-inch LG G4, but its resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 cannot compare to a quad HD display.
More importantly, while its the same resolution as the 1080p iPhone 6 Plus, the brightness literally pales in comparison to Apple's Retina or Samsung's Super AMOLED displays.
I do like how, even when selecting the "auto" ambient light mode, the brightness can be adjusted ever so slightly. But overall, the screen looks half as bright as it should be.
Specs and performance
This is where the Asus Zenfone 2 shines for its price. Its specs include an Intel processor, when other major phones boast popular Qualcomm Snapdragon chips at their heart.
The Intel Atom Z3580 quad-core processor is clocked at 2.3GHz, which means that it's fast enough to handle games and multitasking along with its PowerVR Series 6 G6430 GPU.
Asus gave its phone some nice overhead when it comes to memory with 4GB of RAM when almost every other phone tops out at 3GB of memory. The cheaper variant, also a quad-core, is slower at 1.8GHz and 2GB.
Intel's 2.3GHz quad-core chip and 4GB of RAM combination doesn't make the new Asus phone the fastest – far from it. But it's competitive for its mid-range price by beating almost all of last year's top phones.
Its Geekbench 3 multi-core score of 2,851 outpaces the Galaxy S5, HTC One M8 and OnePlus One and is just shy of the performance of the Moto X 2014, which hasn't been refreshed yet.
It does trail this year's flagships, though. Google's Nexus 6 averaged a 2,986, HTC One M9 scored a 3,005 and the Samsung Galaxy S6 pulled away from the pack with a 4,100 score.
Zenfone 2's performance has been smooth, save for its long 45-second boot up time. And, with 64GB of internal storage (16GB for the cheaper model) and a microSD card slot under the back cover, it's certainly well equipped.
Call quality, likewise, remained excellent, though the speaker phone shouts out of the back of the phone, like too many other smartphones that fail to avoid this pet peeve again and again.
Android 5.0 Lollipop and apps
Zenfone 2 is a cheap way to upgrade to Android 5.0 Lollipop if you're stuck with a phone that hasn't received (or will not get) Google's new operating system update yet.
Upon booting up the phone, you wouldn't really recognize the Material Design theme that the search engine giant created for its Nexus 6 and other stock Android phones. This isn't a pure Android phone.
Instead, it has Asus' ZenUI overlay that cranks up the customization for a more complicated layout, but one that people who root Android phones will appreciate.
The quick settings drop down panel, for example, is chock full of options arranged in a 4 x 4 grid. It's just two swipes down and one button press to turn on the flashlight or airplane mode.
Best of all, the grid of 12 quick settings can be customized to your liking. Not all Android phones let you tinker with this panel, which is one of many reasons why people end up rooting their phones.
Zenfone 2 gives users control over icon packages, themes, scroll effects between panels, folder icon sizes and styles – heck, even app title font sizes and colors.
There's even an pre-loaded app called Splendid that let's you change the color temperature of the phone display ever so slightly, as if it were a TV screen with customizable controls.
There's an "Easy Mode" within the main settings menu for everyone who doesn't want all of the complexity of ZenUI. But really, that's its killer app – thanks to ZenUI, there's less of a reason to root this phone.
ZenUI apps
Asus also includes over a dozen homegrown apps in addition to the more familiar Google apps that it's forced to carry with the Android-based Zenfone 2.
Notably, File Manager provides control over the internal storage and microSD card files, Do It Later supplies an app-integrated task list and flashlight beams out an SOS help signal – just in case.
More fine-tuning on this Android device can be found in Asus' apps like Auto-start Manager, Power Saver and Autowizard.
There are also plenty of repeats of what Google already provides: a web browser, gallery app, contacts list, calendar, clock, music, weather, calculator, notes and web storage.
Calls and messages
I normally default to Hangouts and don't mention the phone call app unless there's something truly novel, and on the Zenfone 2, both messages and the dialer are special.
Both incorporate the dual micro SIM cards into their interface, making it easy to switch back and forth between calling and sending messages between phone numbers.
It's fairly seamless to use when traveling abroad. I can easily imagine eating up cheap data with an international number via SIM 1, but keeping my phone number intact for calls and texts via SIM 2, which can only do voice and texts.
While there's no way to seamlessly transition from a phone call to a video call, a feature I do appreciate on the more locked-down operating system of iPhone 6 Plus, there are some extra buttons when on a call.
Namely, being able to record a phone call is handy for interviews, or if you're trying to point out horrible customer service to the world. Sending files to the contact while they're on the line is also a button integrated into this screen.
No need to add grain via Instagram with the Zenfone 2. This 13-megapixel camera takes photos that are full of noise, especially in dimly lit locations.
Its tiny iPhone 5-level 1/3.2-inch sensor size, made by Toshiba, requires plenty of light for passable photos, which only look good when zoomed all of the way out.
Shots in my local bar, for example, were grainy and muddy all around except for brightly lit signs that were completely overexposed. The bright dual LED flash only does so much.
The 5-megapixel camera on the front was no better for selfies, and both cameras take 1080p video at 30 frames per second.
There are some manual controls and modes, from ISO settings (50 to 800) to a selfie mode that takes three photos with the always-superior back camera.
This mode also lets you add the skin-smoothing beautification effect in post, which is nice because too much of that makes everyone's skin look waxy and fake.
More photos tests are needed in the full hands on, but so far, the camera isn't the reason to buy the Zenfone 2.
Zenfone 2 contains a 3,000 mAh battery, which is larger than the iPhone 6 Plus, Galaxy S6 and HTC One M9 batteries, and it ties the LG G4 battery size.
But as we have seen from the poor LG G4 battery performance, a big capacity doesn't always translate into all-day battery life.
More long-term battery tests are needed here as well. The good news is that Asus packs a smart saving mode that balances the device's performance and battery usage.
It also charges more quickly than other inexpensive smartphones out there thanks to Intel's fast-charging functionality, which equivalent to Qualcomm's QuickCharge 2.0.
Sadly, while I could see the battery by taking off the back cover of the phone, it is not user-replaceable. It just peaks out of the back like a big tease.
Early verdict
Asus Zenfone 2 is half of the price of a top-tier smartphone and is, thankfully, nowhere near half the quality. It just finishes behind the current pack.
Its best features are its large 5.5-inch display, solid specs provided by Intel and 4GB of RAM. The deep ZenUI customization that sits on top of Android 5.0 Lollipop will be a plus for users that want options but don't know what a ROM is.
That said, the screen could be brighter and sharper, the construction could be more durable and less cheap, and the camera could use retooling.
If none of these things matter to you – and if you're better at holding onto a 5.5-inch phone than I am – then parting with $300 (about £210, AU$408) puts this big Android phone in your pocket and more money back into your wallet, purse or Google Wallet account. It's that simple.
Our initial impressions
When it comes to smartphones, all conversations should start with the HTC One M8 ($649, £549 and AU$899 off-contract) and the iPhone 6 (starting at $199 on-contract, £539 and AU$549 off-contract).
Attempting to enter the arena of the big dogs, Asus' new Zenfone 2 (starting at $200, £120, AU$210 for 2GB RAM) is a handy device with a few neat tricks up its sleeve.
The HTC One M8, which we've voted the best smartphone in the world, boasts a Snapdragon 801 processor that functions at 2.5ghz, which makes it perfect for gaming, movies, photography and web browsing. At only 5.64 ounces (160g) and 5.76 inches tall (146.4mm), the Full HD HTC One M8 is a well-designed, Android-based device that accomplishes everything you'll need a smartphone to accomplish.
On the same end of the spectrum, the iPhone 6 and its iOS 8 operating system are a pleasure to use. Featuring a 4.7-inch (119.3mm) retina HD screen, and an A8 processor that operates at 1.8ghz, the iPhone one of the prettiest and fastest smartphones on the planet. It doesn't hurt that it only weighs 4.55 ounces (129 grams) either.
The new Lollipop-based Asus phone features a hard plastic chassis that will be available in multiple colors in the US, including silver and red. It features a 5.5 inch (139.7mm) Full HD Corning Gorilla Glass 3 screen and weighs a hefty 6oz (170g). At only six inches long (152.5mm) the ZenFone 2 shouldn't weigh as much as it does, but you'll hardly notice a difference when compared to the HTC One M8. If weight is a major factor for you, the iPhone is a much lighter choice.
The silver bezel features a shiny matte finish along the back of the phone and along the bottom edge of the front. The front upper and side panels are built with shiny black plastic that is reminiscent of older iPhones. Your home, back and window buttons are tiny and unobtrusive at the bottom front of the phone.
At 0.43 inches (10.9mm) thick, the Zenfone is noticeably thicker than the iPhone 6 (0.27 inches, 6.9mm) and the HTC One M8 (0.37 inches, 9.4mm). Partly to blame for the Zenfone's size problem is its replaceable back panel, which allows users to swap out SIM cards.
The Zenfone's battery runs at 3000 mAh. Similar milliamp phones, like the Oppo Find 7A, feature six-hour battery lives. Asus refused to give an estimate for the Zenfone, but they did say that – thanks to Intel's Fast Charging Technology – it can charge from 0-60% in 40 minutes, which is in line with the fastest-charging phones in the world. Unfortunately, the battery can't be replaced.
Despite the size and weight issues, it's definitely an attractive device, especially when you factor in the multiple available color options.
Remember those neat tricks I mentioned? Well, the Zenfone has a time-saving trick that most of you will love. From the phone's locked desktop, you can scribble a command (such as the letter C) onto the screen and the device will automatically open the pre-determined application. If you draw a C, you'll unlock the camera. If you draw a W you'll unlock the web browser.
You can set these commands to whatever application you'd like: so if you never use your web browser but you always use Facebook, you can set it up so that if you draw a W you'll see your Facebook feed. Unfortunately, you can only set five commands. But that's a cool start.
Another innovative feature is the phone's double-tap to shrink command. By tapping your thumb against the screen you'll be able to shrink the size of your desktop to 60% of its normal size. This is ideal for one-handed smartphone use, which can get clumsy when trying to reach the farthest corners of your screen.
Photographers will absolutely love the Zenfone's 13 megapixel camera, which is darn good for a smartphone. The iPhone features an 8mp main camera, while the HTC One M8 features a disappointing 4mp camera. Neither holds a candle to the Nokia Lumia 1020, which sports a 41-megapixel camera – the best in the business.
The Zenfone runs a 64-bit Intel Quadcore Z3580 processor that tops out at 2.3 GHz – just slower than the HTC One M8, but faster than the iPhone 6. It's a zippy phone that will accomplish most of your business and personal tasks with ease.
The Zenfone 2 packs a lot of cool features into one speedy little device. It's easy on the eyes, nice to touch, and offers time- and space-saving features that make it a joy to use. Its 13-megapixel camera will make shutterbugs happy, and its fast-charging battery won't leave you in a lurch on getaways. However, the Zenfone 2 is a bit heavier and thicker than the iPhone and it doesn't run as fast as the HTC One M8, so it will probably find itself sitting near the lower end of the upper echelon of new devices.

An Unhealthy Dependence on Food Stamps
Edwin J. Feulner · Aug. 28, 2015
Good news: The number of Americans using food stamps in 2014 declined slightly from the previous year. So why does the 2015 Index of Culture and Opportunity say this indicator is headed in the "wrong direction"?
There are a couple of reasons. For one, the food-stamp program (officially known now as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP) is still much larger today than it was a decade ago — or, indeed, just a few years ago. In 2008, it was below 30 million. By 2013, it had hit 47.6 million.
It has since dipped a bit, as I mentioned (to 46.5 million). But for it to still be so high, despite an improving economy, is certainly troubling.
"The program may appear to be on the right track," Maura Corrigan, a visiting fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, writes in the index. "But it is far from perfect and traveling much too slowly."
Unemployment has dropped in recent years, yet still — far too many people are participating. One out of every seven Americans received SNAP benefits in 2014, and the program cost $74.1 billion, making it one of the largest means-tested welfare program.
You'd think the improving jobs situation would translate to the number of SNAP beneficiaries declining by a much larger margin. But that hasn't been the case.
Another reason for saying that food stamp numbers aren't really going in the right direction? Look at how the SNAP demographic has changed.
Before the 2008 recession, 55 percent of SNAP households consisted of children and the elderly. Now, however, a slight majority of recipients are non-elderly, able-bodied adults. There has also been an uptick in the number of working-age, able-bodied adults on SNAP who are not working.
Why? What explains the climbing numbers of non-working, non-elderly, working-age SNAP recipients?
At least part of the reason can be traced to the waiving of work requirements for childless, able-bodied, working-age adults during the recession. Simply put, we're not requiring those who are able to work to do so.
This is clearly a mistake. Able-bodied adults receiving food stamps should be required to work, prepare for work or do a job search. Look back at what happened in the 1990s. The great welfare reform of 1996 was put into law, reforming the largest cash welfare assistance program (Aid to Families with Dependent Children or AFDC, which is now Temporary Assistance for Needy Families). Rather than allow the government to continue fostering dependency, we started insisting that non-disabled adults either work or be looking for work in exchange for benefits. And lo and behold, the numbers dropped.
SNAP wasn't reformed to include a work requirement like AFDC was, but if you look back, you notice a significant drop in the SNAP rolls in the late 1990s, too. It fell below 20 million, to a level even lower than we saw in the late 1980s.
SNAP should be reformed to include a work requirement for able-bodied adults. Loosening the requirements with waivers and relaxing the rules hasn't helped anybody, from the taxpayers who are asked to pony up more and more money, to the recipients who soon find themselves trapped in a cycle of poverty that often stretches across generations.
According to Ms. Corrigan, a former state human services director who administered more than 70 federal means-tested welfare programs: "Our nation's simple three-word mantra should be 'better off working.' Social safety-net programs, including SNAP, should expect and encourage work — and the dignity and responsibility that accompany it — from those who are able to do so."
The key, after all, is to promote self-sufficiency as much as possible. Some people will never be able to provide for themselves, but we should do all we can to extend some basic dignity to those who can.
Because at the end of the day, no welfare program can replace work.

Goods and Services Tax Ruling
GSTR 2000/17A4 - Addendum
Goods and services tax: tax invoices
View the consolidated version for this notice.
This Addendum amends Goods and Services Tax Ruling GSTR 2000/17 to reflect amendments to the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (GST Act), which were made by Tax Laws Amendment (2005 Measures No. 1) Act 2005. In particular, the Addendum updates GSTR 2000/17 for consequential amendments made to Division 84 due to an amendment that inserted paragraph 9-25(5)(c) into the GST Act. Paragraph 9-25(5)(c) ensures that a supply is connected with Australia if it is the supply of a right or option to acquire another thing and the supply of that other thing would be connected with Australia. The amendment applies to supplies made on or after 1 October 2005.
The Addendum also makes further minor amendments to GSTR 2000/17 to update references to the Taxation Administration Act 1953; cross reference legislative determinations that have since issued; correct other minor non-technical errors; and update the references section.
GSTR 2000/17 is amended as follows:
1. Paragraph 6
Omit the paragraph; substitute:
6. All legislative references in this Ruling are to the GST Act and A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Regulations 1999 (GST Regulations) unless otherwise stated.
Omit paragraph 7; substitute:
7. This Ruling explains the Commissioner's view of the law as it applies both before and after its date of issue. You can rely on this Ruling on and from its date of issue for the purposes of section 105-60 in Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953. Goods and Services Tax Ruling (GSTR 1999/1) explains the GST rulings system and the Commissioner's view of when you can rely on this interpretation of the law in GST public and private rulings.
7A. Changes made to the Ruling by Addenda that issued on 25 September 2002, 1 March 2006, 22 August 2007 and 6 August 2008 have been incorporated into this version of the Ruling.[1A]
7B. If you have relied on a previous ruling (including the public ruling that the Addendum amends), you are protected in respect of what you have done up to the date of issue of the relevant Addendum or, if there is a change to the legislation, you are protected in respect of what you have done up to the date the legislative change takes effect. This means that if you have relied on the previous ruling and have underpaid an amount of GST, you are not liable for the shortfall prior to either the issue date of the relevant Addendum or the date the legislative change takes effect, as appropriate. Similarly, if you have relied on the previous ruling you are not liable to repay an amount overpaid by the Commissioner as a refund.
3. Footnote 6
Omit the footnote; substitute:
6 Subsection 288-45(1) and subsection 284-75(1) in Schedule 1 to the TAA.
4. Paragraph 14
Omit the first sentence; substitute:
Regulation 29-70.01 of the GST Regulations specifies the information that a tax invoice (other than a recipient created tax invoice) must contain.
5. Footnote 10
10 Section 382-5 in Schedule 1 to the TAA.
After the last sentence insert:
(See also Law Administration Practice Statement PS LA 2004/11 - The Commissioner's discretions to treat a particular document as a tax invoice or adjustment note.)
7. Paragraph 32 and footnote 15
Omit the paragraph and footnote; substitute:
The Commissioner may make determinations under section 29-25 to vary the attribution rules in particular situations. The Commissioner has made determinations under paragraph 29-25(2)(e) for supplies and acquisitions that occur before the supplier or recipient knows the total consideration.[15]
Under the determination A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) (Particular Attribution Rules Where Total Consideration Not Known) Determination (No. 1) 2000 a recipient attributes an input tax credit to a tax period to the extent of the amount of the consideration stated in an invoice issued in that tax period; or to the extent of the consideration provided in that tax period (if an invoice is not issued or the consideration provided is greater than the amount on the invoice). However, before the recipient can claim an input tax credit the recipient is still required to hold a tax invoice[15A] for the taxable supply. As the total price is not known when an interim invoice is issued or an interim payment is made, a tax invoice cannot be produced.[16]
If you acquire something that is a supply (other than goods or real property) that is not connected with Australia, or is connected with Australia because of paragraph 9-25(5)(c), you may be liable to pay GST on the supply if it is taxable under section 84-5.
10. Paragraph 49 and footnote 23
Omit the second sentence and footnote; substitute:
Because of the delay in payment of these retention amounts, the Commissioner has made a determination under section 29-25.[23]
11. Paragraph 55
Omit the last sentence; substitute:
However, you must have records that explain the transaction and the amount of the input tax credit claimed, as required by section 382-5 of the TAA.
Approved form has the meaning given by section 388-50 in Schedule 1 to the TAA.[42]

Moving iTunes to Mini ---- What's Best to Use these Days?
No programs needed! Make sure you turn file sharing on in the sharing preference pane on both computers. Assuming you have a router, you should be able to see your old iBook on the network and just drag and drop the file to the new location.
You could also get a firewire cable and hook them together....that's pretty fast. I saw one at target for 9.99. Works well!
Your new Mac Mini will also come with software to help you transfer all of the files, preferences, and accounts from your iBook to your new computer. I think it's called the Migration Assistant, but I could be wrong.
The firewire cable mentioned above is a must however. The difference in transfer speed, as opposed to a network connection, will be worth the $10.00 investment.
A firewire cable is an invaluable thing. Also you cold just use Target disk mode. That is what I used.
I couldn't agree more; this is the only way to go.
THANKS to ALL for the responses. Looks like Migration Assistant with the Fireware Cable is the deal. Excellent!
Wait, I need to put my $ 0.02 in! there is a program called Senuti that rips all the songs oof your iPod and imports into iTunes song info and all. In senuti if you have to change something in the preferences to import in to iTunes, senuti is also free.
p.s. if you do get a Firewire cable be sure to get a firewire 400 to firewire 400 cable.
I suggusted that earlyer, but I got a warning PM from Rob, so you might want to amand that.
why would I get a PM? I am just recomending a piece of freeware.
The issue here is that while Apple have sold record numbers of iPods, it's not a product that we should assume every man, woman and child has. Please don't recommend options without checking that the original poster has an iPod. It's irrelevant. The question referred to iBooks and Mac Minis.
Oh right, sorry I didn't think of that, I'm easily distracted by shiny new tools.
even when he said 'mac mini' in his first post?
What's the best program on the market to simply copy the library off the iPod onto the new mini?Any settings I should change on the MacMini before hand?

Romancing the Collection
Sat 7 Aug 2021 — Wed 31 May 2023
Exhibition Details
Romancing the Collection offers a love letter to the city's public art collection, providing a deep dive to present much-loved favourites alongside artworks that – perhaps – have been previously overlooked. The exhibition traverses time to show how tastes have changed in the decades through which Auckland's art collection has grown.
From portraits to pop art and even a Picasso, Romancing the Collection delves into landscape, portraiture, romance, still life and abstract works. It opens with artworks that address the whenua (land) and taiao (natural environment), and honour the mana (power, prestige) of the people depicted in Gottfried Lindauer and Charles F Goldie's Māori portraits. From this grounding in people and place the exhibition moves on to explore the complexities of love and hidden desire and the formalism of non-representational art.
Bringing together contemporary and historical artworks from Aotearoa New Zealand and afar, it invites kōrero (discussion) which offers multiple ways of looking, feeling and connecting.
Romancing the Collection includes artwork by Wi Taepa, Anne Noble, Peter Robinson, Raukura Turei, Arnold Manaaki Wilson, John Kinder, Colin McCahon, Lisa Reihana, Hiria Anderson, Ralph Hotere, Alicia Frankovich, Shane Cotton, Michael Parekōwhai, Edith Amituanai, Selwyn Wilson, Jude Rae, Rebecca Swan, Ed Ruscha and others.
Spirited and playful, Romancing the Collection cleverly pairs historical pieces with contemporary art. Entry is free.

heather & olive: the bbq chicken salad that wasn't.
the bbq chicken salad that wasn't.
I am admittedly not a salad girl. It's once in a blue moon that I'll order a salad at a restaurant, especially one as a main course. The only time I ever really had salad phases were 1) in high school when I was obsessed with Applebee's Shrimp Caesar Salad (I didn't know any better) and 2) in law school when my friend S. and I would regularly hit up the Cheesecake Factory for their BBQ Ranch Chicken Salad. Basically, I wouldn't eat salad without fried shrimp or onion strings coupled with a heavy dressing.
This salad recipe is DELICIOUS. As a replacement for my beloved BBQ chicken, you roast cauliflower in the oven for 7 minutes, brush it with BBQ sauce and then put it back in the oven for 3 more minutes. Combined with avocado, red onion, carrots, black beans, corn (which I forgot) and ranch dressing, you're left with a tasty southwestern salad that seriously fills you up.

Viola Davis 'terrified' to play Michelle Obama in new series
Sept. 27 (UPI) -- Viola Davis says she's "terrified" to portray Michelle Obama in a new TV series.
The 54-year-old actress discussed playing Obama in the Showtime series First Ladies during Thursday's episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Davis said she's met Obama but has no idea if the former first lady knows about her taking on the role.
"I'm terrified. I'm absolutely terrified," Davis said. "I don't care what else I've done in my life -- I've won an Emmy, I've won an Oscar, two Tonys -- but if I mess this up, this is going to be a defining moment in my life."
"It's like, 'You raised a great kid, but you messed up Michelle Obama,'" she jokingly added.
Davis said, however, that she's confident about the script, written by author Aaron Cooley. Davis and Cooley will also executive produce the show.
"It's going to be a great script, I promise," Davis said. "Listen, I don't want to make my people mad."
First Ladies will explore the political and personal lives of first ladies throughout U.S. history. The first season will focus on Obama, Eleanor Roosevelt and Betty Ford.
In addition to First Ladies, Davis will reunite with Denzel Washington, her Antwone Fisher and Fences co-star, in a Netflix adaptation of Ma Rainey's Black Bottom.
"I had to wear a fat suit," Davis told host Jimmy Kimmel. "I loved it. I told them that I wanted really, really big [expletive]. I wanted to look like the women I grew up with."
Davis plays Annalise Keating on the ABC series How to Get Away with Murder, which premiered its sixth and final season Thursday.

The Burma Announce New Single + Nationwide Tour Dates
May 15, 2019 admin	No Comments
THE BURMA
BRAND NEW SINGLE 'PHONEY PERSONALITY' OUT JUNE 14TH
The Burma are an Indie rock n' roll band influenced by the American Indie scene of the early 2000's and British guitar bands of the 80s and 90s. The Burma's jangly guitars and bouncy basslines make for refreshingly melodic songs. The line-up consists of long-time friends from Cobh Tony O'Donovan and Peter Piggott along with Doolin, Co. Clare drummer Cian Doherty whom they met in Cork in 2012.
The Burma released their debut EP 'Her Eyes On Horizons' in June 2017. The EP featured the singles 'Love Fades' and 'Sucker For Stars, both of which were met with great acclaim with Hot Press stating "The pop-rockers 'are as suited to the dancefloor as the dive bar, as bouncy basslines underpin earwig melodies and shimmering guitar lines". Recent releases like Love Fades suggest that they're "ready to graduate to the big time."
The Burma's last single 'Quicksand' was released in October 2018 and gained extensive national airplay. It was also made Joe.ie Song of The Day. "This is a classic three minute pop song full of verve and melody". "The Burma are a band on the up and you really should start checking them out so you can tell your pals, you knew them before they became huge."
The Burma have supported acts such as The Academic, The Strypes, Delorentos, Brian Deady, The Blizzards & Ryan Sheridan.
In 2019 The Burma will play some of their biggest shows to date including the likes of The Liverpool Feis, Vantastival, the Doolin Folk Festival and many more on the Irish and British festival circuit. Expect to see some exciting new releases from The Burma this year too!
What the critics have to say:
"Anyone in fear that the conveyor-belt of winning guitar bands might be slowing down would be well advised to check out The Burma before writing any epitaphs." – Hot Press
"A new Cork band with a great sound. It won't be long before they are headlining gigs themselves." – JOE.ie
"It's sun-kissed, California-driving music – yet it's relevant, and it's fresh." – Golden Plec
"Jangly guitar pop at its finest." – Dan Hegarty, RTE 2FM
June 1st – Vantastival, Drogheda
June 15th – Doolin Folk Fest
July 6th – Feis Liverpool

For the last 15 years I have asked my God for a word, one word that would help me hold the year to come. A theme. A mantra. A dream. Throughout the years, they have been wonderful and hope-filled words. Joy, peace, more, fearless, and last year's become. For the first time I was given a word I that scares me- perseverance. What? I did try to bargain with Him and asked for another word. He said I could change it to persevere instead. Oh, how I love Him.
My word has already come into play. My adorable husband bought me a Polaroid SX-70 for Christmas. I have wanted one for some time. My camera collection has gotten a little out of hand so I stopped dreaming I'd own one. I was so excited when I opened it Christmas Eve that I cried. The next morning, I pulled it out and tried to shoot with it.
They were all overexposed, some so overexposed they were blank. I adjusted the exposure dial. I shielded the image from the light.
Still, they were blown out. I bought a frog tongue. I struggled to get it on at first, but have finally mastered attaching it. I tried keeping the image warm while developing. While they are a little better, the exposure is still off.
While the black and white Polaroids only take 15-20 minutes to develop, the color images can take up to an hour or so. They need to sit in the dark until they are developed. I have had to wait and hope until I could flip the photo over and see if my adjustment worked. Every time I flipped the Polaroid over and saw it was overexposed, I have said the same little word. I let you guess what it is.
I am still working on it. I have ordered the ND filter and am waiting for it now. That should help with the exposure problem. While I wait, I read blogs and books about the testy little camera and the film so appropriately named Impossible film. The learning curve is a little steep. I do not like steep learning curves. I can be very impatient with myself. So impatient that I will give up before I even try. Not this year. I want to master my SX-70. And I will master it, but it will take some moxie… some determination… some tenacity… some cussing… and some persef*ckingverance.

Words Related to Democratic Elections
Fair elections are an essential part of a working democracy. It's important to know the English words relating to elections when you read or hear the English-language news about an election. The recent US presidential election has been in the media a lot this month, and you may have heard many of the following words in news reports.
The verb "to vote" means "to choose" the person you are voting for:
We try really hard to persuade people that we're right, and then people vote.
Captions 47-49, Barack Obama: on Trump presidential victory
Play Caption
There is also the noun "vote," and a synonym for a vote is a ballot. A ballot is also the actual paper that you use to write your vote on.
The place you go to vote is called a "poll":
When it comes to election day, the public go to the polls to vote for one presidential ticket.
Caption 66, US Elections How do they work?
But a "poll" is also a survey that asks people who they intend to vote for:
That supports Jeb Bush, who has been struggling in some polls.
Caption 19, ABC News: The Broncos Win Super Bowl 50
The person who is running for political office is a candidate:
So the candidate with the most votes wins.
Caption 48, US Elections: How do they work?
Candidates often confront each other before the election in a debate:
Remember, he was just on the stage with Joe Biden at that debate.
Caption 19, ABC News: President Trump and first lady test positive for COVID-19
If somebody has "been elected," it means that they got the most votes and won the election:
Senators, like members of the House of Representatives, are also elected to their seats by the public.
Captions 42-43, US Elections: How do they work?
When a candidate for US President has won the election in November, he does not take office until the 20th of January the following year. In the two and a half months before he takes office, he is called the "President-elect." After the 20th of January, he is called the "President" and the person who left office is called the "former President."
So I have instructed my team to follow the example that President Bush's team set eight years ago and work as hard as we can to make sure that this is a successful transition for the President-elect.

Transcript: Bonus: Rebroadcast: Its All About Food – Common Sense and Common Groud
SANE Science, Transcript
TIP: This article is a transcription of SANE multimedia you can enjoy by clicking here.
Caryn: Hello, everybody, we're back, and it's October 1, 2013. Thank you for joining me today on It's All About Food, Debunking Myths. There are so many myths out there, we could spend a long time debunking them because so many of them get into our core, they get into our skin, we really believe them as fact. But we're all here on this planet, I think, to learn, experience joy, move forward, and improve ourselves. Some of that means learning that some things that we always believed to be true are not. There was a time when we all thought the world was flat, right? I think it isn't.
Anyway, let's go on and talk about The Calorie Myth with Jonathan Bailor. Collaborating with top scientists for over 10 years; analyzing over 1,300 studies; synthesizing over 10,000 pages of research; and garnering endorsements by top doctors from Harvard Medical School, Johns Hopkins, Yale, and UCLA, Jonathan Bailor is a preeminent nutrition and exercise expert and former personal trainer who specializes in utilizing high-quality food and exercise to simplify health and fitness.
He has registered over 25 patents and authored the revolutionary upcoming The Calorie Myth. He serves as Senior Program Manager at Microsoft; hosts a popular syndicated wellness radio show; blogs on The Huffington Post; and consults for organizations around the world. His free 28-day quick-start eating and exercise guide is available at BailorGroup.com. A summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa graduate of DePaul University, Bailer lives outside of Seattle with his wife, Angela, and works to enable others to live better through simple, proven science. Sounds good to me. Welcome to It's All About Food, Jonathan.
Jonathan: Thanks for having me, it's a pleasure.
Caryn: Yes, it's good talking to you again.
Jonathan: Absolutely, I have so enjoyed having you on my show and appreciate you reciprocating the love.
Caryn: Yes. So let me put my disclaimers out there so we can get to the meat of the conversation, or the vegetables of the conversation. We both are aligned on so many issues. I am a vegan and Jonathan is not, but we are promoting so many of the same things. It's so important that this alignment is there and we can focus on those things, because as more and more people see the power of healthy, minimally-processed plant foods in their lives, and getting rid of the junk, we will all get to a better place. How is that?
Jonathan: Absolutely, absolutely, Caryn. I like to tell people, just to add on to what you said, regardless of vegan, vegetarian, kosher, Halal, low-carb, high-carb, medium-carb, whatever it is, there's a way to do that that is in line with proven science to further your health. And there is a way to do that as the media and the marketers will have you believe. You and I are right in line with however we want to eat, let's make sure we're doing it in line with science and in line with responsibility with the planet.
Caryn: There you go. All right, let's talk about this thing called the calorie. Now, I don't know when the calorie was actually discovered or when we first recognized it existed, but we're learning more and more about it. I think the calorie is actually a kilocalorie, is it not?
Jonathan: It is. It was never intended to be something — it's been treated as the lowest common denominator, the great equalizer. You can eat 100 calories of Ding Dongs or you could eat 100 calories of broccoli, and in either case, if you just go walk at this pace for this period of time, you're net neutral and everything is the same. Obviously, that is not true.
Caryn: That's a myth.
Jonathan: We know that's not true.
Caryn: That's so not true, that's such a myth. It's fascinating what we're learning and we will continue to learn, because I think humans in general are just at the beginning of a long journey of active learning. In terms of nutrition, we're really just at the starting point. What's fascinating for me is how calories have become important. You can definitely develop this a little bit more, but for a long time people were thinking about the volume of food, how much volume or weight, and not really realizing that it was the calorie. Now we are realizing maybe it's more than the calorie.
Jonathan: That's absolutely correct, that's absolutely correct. One key thing for us to all keep in mind because we've been so bombarded with counting calories, how many calories are in this, you need to burn calories, is remember that nobody, except for some very few scientists, up until 40 years ago, had any idea what a calorie was, and we were all slimmer and we were all healthier before that. Right?
I don't mean to blow the roof off right in the beginning, call me crazy, but we're smarter than every other animal on this planet, and they also don't know what calories are. They seem to stay diabetes-free and to stay at a healthy weight without counting them, either. I think we may have been fed a bit of a load of baloney here, which is not helping us.
Caryn: I agree, we shouldn't be counting calories. I just have to step aside for a moment as a scientist and say that a lot of things have happened over the last 40, 50, 60 years that point to why we're fatter. Counting calories, I think, is a method, a way of dealing with us getting fatter; but a lot of nasty things have been going on.
We've been creating these foods that aren't really foods; people have been convinced to eat these highly-processed things with lots of salt, sugar and fat and very little calories. Certain foods have been made cheaper with all kinds of food subsidies. There are just so many different things that have been happening, plus there are all kinds of plastics and stuff and things that are out there that affect us. Some of them affect our appetite; I mean, it's really mind-boggling. But if we get back to simplicity, we really can solve a lot of problems.
Jonathan: It's important. Your point is well heard, because I'm not one of those people that is saying calories are like unicorns, they don't exist. If you eat 10,000 calories worth of anything – well, if you eat 10,000 calories worth of broccoli, your stomach would explode way before you became obese.
But if you were able to eat 10,000 calories, you would gain fat. We are eating too many calories. In fact, researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill discovered in 2011 – they did this amazing study – that the average person today is consuming about 570 more calories than the average person back in 1977.
Of course, who is the average person? But it's interesting data. So, it's like, Wow, doesn't that just prove that we're all gaining weight because we're eating more calories? But hold on, if we actually do the calorie math that we're all taught, if you actually add up the amount of calories over 40 years that that should be, and then the amount of the weight we should have gained, the average American today should weigh well over 1,100 pounds. Like from 2006 to 2011 alone, the average American should have gained 476 pounds, according to calorie math.
Caryn: Oh, okay; so something is wrong with the equation.
Jonathan: Exactly. We have gained weight. On average, we've gained about 20 pounds; but that's 98% less than calorie math would have us believe. It's not that calories are irrelevant; it's just that they might be a small fraction, as you mentioned, of a much bigger picture. If anyone says, Just have this 100-calorie snack pack, it's only 100 calories, run in the other direction.
Caryn: There are so many different games that they play with calories, too, to deceive people. Putting serving sizes on labels and saying they are a certain amount of calories, and people never eat those serving sizes, they eat a lot more. Things can be really deceiving if you're counting calories, which is why it's important not to.
Jonathan: The other really liberating thing, once you can free yourself from counting those calories, not only can you sit down at the table and enjoy food instead of doing math – because I don't know about you, but when I sit down and I'm hungry, the last thing I want to do is math – is you avoid the following horrible myth: Okay, eat that 100-calorie snack pack because then you can just go jog for 15 minutes and it's like you didn't do anything. That's analogous. When you actually look at what these quote, unquote, edible products do to us, that's like saying, Hey, Caryn, I'm going to smoke two packs of cigarettes, but it's okay because I'm going to go jog afterwards and that cancels it out. Right?
Caryn: Yes, I don't like thinking that way. We have a law in New York State regarding fast-food establishments, that they have to put the calorie and nutritional information on every meal. I don't eat in your typical fast-food restaurant; or I think it's fast-food and chain restaurants.
There's this one restaurant in New York City called Le Pain Quotidien, which Americans might read as Lee Pane Quo-ti-dien, but it's Le Pain Quotidien, which means the daily bread. It's a really nice chain in New York City. I don't know where else they are, but they serve a lot of really lovely, fresh, locally-sourced from sustainable sources, some very nice selections.
Because they fit in this category, they show on the menu all the calorie and nutritional information for every meal. Frankly, I find it disturbing that it's there. Because I start looking, rather than at the food and what I feel like eating, I am like, Oh, this is 450 calories; oh, this is 259 calories; and, Oh, what am I doing here and why am I looking at it? I don't like it.
Jonathan: There's also this misunderstanding. What you said is so true, it's about food, it's about food. Humans are here to eat food, not to think about calories. Also, there's this hubris involved. I love earlier that we were talking about humility; we're just starting to learn these things.
Bottom line, no one is going to go through life hungry; and bottom line, you need to eat a certain amount of energy or you're going to be hungry. This thought that somehow you can deceive your body into eating less than it needs to fuel itself and that you won't be hungry, it's a manipulative mindset. You can trick your body and that's not…
The body is brilliant. The body doesn't need to be tricked. If you just feed the body food, nutrient-dense food, it will keep you slim and healthy, as it did for every previous generation that existed. We don't need to trick it, there's no trickery involved.
Caryn: The thing with processed food, there are so many things wrong with so many things that come in a package or a box, but they don't for the most part have much water in them and they're dried and concentrated, not fresh, alive food. When we eat it, we don't have that feeling that we get from a lot of food, plant foods that have fiber in them; we don't get that sated feeling, and our brains ultimately don't get the sated feeling, either, because they're not getting a lot of nutrition from these foods.
Then the ultimate response is, Feed me more. You talked about eating 10,000 calories of broccoli before. I like to tell a lot of people, If you want to lose weight, just eat a pound of greens, raw, and then you can have whatever you want. They are like, I can't eat a pound of greens. That's the point.
Jonathan: That's the number one recommendation when I talk about a SANE lifestyle, or eating satisfying, unaggressive, nutritious and inefficient foods. The single most important component – and the research backs this up unequivocally – is a mass, mass amount of non-starchy vegetables. If listeners are going to take one thing away, it's like everyone agrees on that – which is funny, like even the most vehement Paleo person and the strictest vegetarian – non-starchy vegetables, the vegetables you can eat raw, green, leafy vegetables, cucumbers, mushrooms.
I'm going to make the boldest claim: Stop worrying about anything else until you're eating double-digit servings of non-starchy vegetables per day. That one action will do more for your health, happiness and appearance than anything else you could do.
Caryn: What does that look like, double-digit servings, in terms of a day?
Jonathan: Not that much, not that much. For example, if you don't saturate your breakfast with starch; so let's say you're someone who is an omnivore and you were to have an omelet that was stuffed with non-starchy vegetables. Cooked non-starchy vegetables are quite small, so it would be very easy for a normal person to eat three servings of vegetables with breakfast. You could also do a green smoothie; a lot of my vegetarian and vegan friends do green smoothies, and that's very easy. Again, that's three servings of non-starchy vegetables right there.
Lunch, that's another thing. Basically, if you can do three servings breakfast, lunch and dinner, you're there. As long as you don't fill your plate with starch, it's really easy. When you start seeing vegetables as less of a side and more of the main dish, like don't put your stir-fry on top of rice, put it on top of a bed of vegetables; don't put your curry on top of rice, put it on top of a bed of vegetables; and you accidentally eat double-digit servings of non-starchy vegetables.
Caryn: Let's talk about starch for a minute, because there are some people that really promote a high, whole-carbohydrate diet versus eating and focusing on non-starchy plant foods. What does the science have to say about that?
Jonathan: You need calories, you need energy. There are two primary sources of energy, fat and sugar; that's bottom line. When you eat starch or you eat sugar, you're getting your source of calories from sugar. Because they are all the same when they leave your stomach.
If you're eating more fat, then you get fat. If you're eating a very low-fat diet, very low-fat diet, you do need to get calories from someplace. You could get them from protein, but it's not a good idea, because protein is a structural component, it's not an energy source. So you're going to have to eat more starch. I personally, in the research I reviewed, it generally errs more on the side of getting energy at least in a balance between sugar and fat. But if you avoid fat for whatever reason — you have to eat. Sadly, I have no other options for you, or else you starve to death.
Caryn: Well, there are other people on a calorie-restricted diet, that's another conversation.
Jonathan: Absolutely. I think personally that, especially for vegan and vegetarians, my favorite sources of fat, where I get my energy from, are plant fats. I could eat cocoa and coconut and chia seeds and flax seeds and avocados and macadamia nuts; I would gladly take 60% of my calories that I get in a day from those whole-food, nutrient-dense, fiber-dense plant fats. The research shows that that is one of the most therapeutic things you could be doing for your health.
Caryn: All those sound good to me.
Jonathan: And an under-appreciated dietary lifestyle. I would love to see more attention placed upon a high-fat, higher fat vegetarian or vegan diet, where you swap those starch calories for whole-food plant fats. I think it's a fascinating and a very promising way to live.
Caryn: There's a number of studies that we need to have done, and they haven't been done for a number of reasons. One, it's costly to do the studies that are really going to be significant, because they take a lot of people and they take a long time. It's not something that can be done over a short period of time, especially when we're using humans to do the studies, which we need to, and not animals, or not other animals, because they are not the same as we are. So it's expensive.
I think a lot of the studies that have been done just really haven't understood a lot about nutrition. We are really at the beginning of learning about it. Not all protein is the same, not all fat is the same, not all carbohydrates are the same; and we need to differentiate that. Some studies on fat have really gotten a bad rap, but they haven't been getting fat necessarily from the best sources.
Jonathan: That is so key, especially so many people, they talk about epidemiological studies or observational studies where you compare one population with another population. There's thousands of variables, thousands of variables. Then the media says, Well, this group ate – just hypothetically – say this group ate more protein than this other group, and they had higher incidents of cancer.
That might be very well true, but if that one group was also – let's say the high- cancer group – let's say that their protein was coming from Spam and hot dogs, which no one would recommend, and they weren't eating any vegetables. Okay, so was it the protein that gave them cancer, or was that the toxic, processed foods they were eating, and a lack of vegetables? You've just got to unpack some of these things, because when you have those epidemiological studies, Science 101 is a minimized variable. Observational studies do not do that in any way, shape, or form.
Caryn: That's just like when there are studies that come out that evaluate meat eaters versus vegetarians and vegans, most of those are not good studies either, because you can be a junk-food vegan or a healthy vegan or somewhere in the middle. The same with vegetarians, the same with the meat eaters. We really need to be looking at the food, where it comes from, what the person's lifestyle is; and that's too many variables.
Jonathan: My work is trying to simplify. That's my whole purpose on this earth, is to say, I don't care if it's plant, animal, whatever; how satisfying is it? Meaning, how quickly does it fill you up and how long does it keep you full? How aggressive is it a.k.a. what's the blood-sugar response? Is it overworking your pancreas or not? Is it nutritious? How many nutrients are you getting per calorie?
It's a mathematical question and a moral question. And then, how efficient is it, meaning how readily can your body store this fat? We can take every food in the world and just plot it on what I called the SANE-ity spectrum, plant, animal, doesn't matter. And it's not a moral discussion. It's just like saying, Let's get a criteria. What is a high-quality food? Let's establish that framework and then let's all, whatever our moral inclinations, whatever our taste preferences, just try to stay as SANE as we possibly can.
Caryn: Try and stay as SANE as we can?
Jonathan: SANE: Satisfying, Unaggressive, Nutritious, and Inefficient.
Caryn: Very good. Okay, we just have like a couple of minutes left. Your book, The Calorie Myth, doesn't come out until the end of the year; probably a good New Year's Eve kick-in-the-butt type of book.
Jonathan: Exactly. It's New Year's Eve, but it is available for pre-order now online.
Caryn: Okay, great.
Jonathan: So you could reserve your copy.
Caryn: I didn't mean New Year's Eve, I meant for the New Year's resolutions that people always make, because so many of them do realize, Okay, new year, let's try and get healthier this year. I say why wait until New Year's, let's start right now. People can visit your website at TheBailorGroup.com.
Jonathan: Exactly. We also have a free podcast; you can find it on iTunes as well as The Smarter Science of Slim. As you mentioned, at Bailor Group, B-A-I-L-O-R Group, there is a massive amount of free resources. So no need to wait, like you said, until New Year's Eve to take control of your health.
Caryn: How did you get so smart?
Jonathan: When you spend 12 years in your life reading research and having no friends or life, you kind of kind of — this is what you do.
Caryn: Yes, I know it's hard. I don't know how you feel about it, but I'm quite passionate about food. I'm only interested in talking to people who want the information, I'm not really looking for — it's hard to talk to people who are not interested, and I think if we just focus on those who really want the information, that's a good place to go, an interested audience.
Jonathan: Absolutely, and I think when you said "interested in the information," that is key. People who are seeing this as a productive area where we can make progress rather than, I'm right and I have the answer. Because at the end of the day, we're trying to be healthy. Frankly, if I meet Sally Smith on the street and she's got some genetic mutation which makes Pepsi and Cheetos healthy for her and she gets her blood tested and it's like, Wow, the more Pepsi and Cheetos she eats, the healthier she gets, we can measure that. I'm like, you know what? I'm not going to say you're wrong. Let's just, whatever makes you healthy, do that and forget about everything else.
Caryn: Yes, it's all about what makes you feel good and happy and healthy. I'm all for that. Jonathan, it's been a pleasure talking to you. It went really fast, and here we are at the end of the hour. All the best to you and The Calorie Myth.
Jonathan: Thank you so much.
Caryn: I recently read that — actually, it was in my former guest's book that it takes 17 years for health information to get out from the original science to the doctor and utilized. So I hope the information in The Calorie Myth takes a lot sooner to get absorbed because we need that information now.
Jonathan: Thank you very much.
Caryn: Right. Take care, Jonathan.
Jonathan: Thank you. Bye.
Caryn: You've been listening to It's All About Food. I'm Caryn Hartglass. Have a delicious week. Bye-bye.

Non-Election Debates Worth Checking Out
27Mar 2020 4 Mar 2021
Firing Line Debate Featuring George McGovern
I found another debate McGovern participated in. This is a great discussion, very lively and with some great participants including Kemp, William F Buckley, Gary Hart and more. There's a great format with two teams of debaters with each individual taking a turn to speak their piece, then answering questions from the opposition. For anyone interested in politics,history, rhetoric or oration, I'd highly recommend these Firing line debates. There's better diversity of subject matter as well as questions, and the participants can actually speak at length rather than give thirty second soundbites. The moderator is very funny too, as the icing on the cake.
If there's any flaws in this particular debate it's the subject matter. Rather than something that's broad strokes or pertains to the future, this is about the now defunct Soviet Union. I also find the question pretty silly–if anything it's our (relative) freedom of political thought that makes us better able to deal with the Soviets, than purely "the left" or "the right" false binary. That makes us better able to adapt. I was waiting for someone to say something to that effect but nobody did. Also, this debate ended up being rendered irrelevant just two years later with the self implosion of the Soviets anyway.
My favorite line is from George: "I'm glad you felt the need to point out I supported Harry Wallace when I was a college student, Bill. I also stole a watermelon when I was 14, let's get it all out there." He could be very folksy when he wanted to be, and that's a quality he's not given enough credit for. The weakest moment was from Kemp. McGovern points out the irony that Kemp is quoting (and claiming to speak for) dead Democrats like Truman, JFK and Humphrey only after they're dead while sharply criticizing them in life. And Kemp says he looks forward to the day George venerates Reagan after he's gone. Now, I've seen every McGovern interview, debate, speech or appearance I could possibly find online–many of which took place after this–so I can safely say that's never happened. However, a throwaway line from Kemp about the need for a bipartisan foreign policy was great and something I wish the modern obstructionist GOP understood today, inviting Netanyahu to speak over the President's head, or sending Iran a letter that belittles our own president. When our foreign policy does radical 180s every eight years we only make other countries wary of dealing with us in the future. We have to stand together as a united front when dealing with other countries.
Ralph Nader vs Howard Dean
Ralph Nader and Howard Dean's debate the issues in 2004. I love it when I find random, non-campaign debates like this, they're almost always the best. This is especially unusual because unlike McGovern v Buckley, Ferraro v Buchanan or Norman Thomas v Goldwater, there's not a clear "Liberal v Conservative" dynamic going on here. We have instead a fringe reformer—in my estimation the most progressive candidate since McGovern—and a somewhat more restrained reformer in Dean. So with that in mind, I was surprised how hard Dean hits Nader not 10 minutes in, and the way Nader responds in kind. These guys aren't fucking around, that's for sure.
There is a mutual respect going on, but it's clear Dean considers Nader a nuisance who's harming the progressive cause by siphoning off support while Nader considers Dean and the Democrats something of a sellout. Both make valid points in this regard. It's nice to see Dean acknowledge Nader's past with consumer protection and acknowledge it's not Nader's fault he's a spoiler and that we need instant runoff voting (as opposed to First Past the Post which we have now and makes third parties not viable.) It's sad though seeing Dean have to defend Kerry in this debate. It should have been Dean as the nominee; Kerry was a return to the weak, boring, "me too!" right-wing Democratic candidates from the vein of Mondale and Dukakis. I think Dean would have come off a lot better at some points in this debate if he didn't have to tie himself to a person even he knows is a weak centrist.
JOHN ANDERSON MAKES A CAMEO APPEARANCE!!!! And he challenges Dean to then fight to get Instant runoff voting and debate reform on the Democratic platform. I like Dean, I think he's a good guy and I have no doubt that he personally supports those things. That said, it's great to see someone call his bluff and ask why, then, the party he's a member of does not officially support these reforms. Dean gives kind of a non-answer, saying there has to be a threshold. Even the moderator gently calls him on that. Personally, (assuming we even keep the electoral college in a scenario where we're reforming national elections,) I'd say a reasonable compromise would be offering debate access ought to be determined by who's on the ballot in enough states to get to 270. It really ought to be that simple. Around this point, the debate gets really heated as Nader goes off on a rant about how the Democrats are just as complicit as the Republicans for selling out the country and screwing over the populace at the expense of the military.
Later on, they're asked who their favorite Presidents are. Dean says Washington and Truman, Nader says Lincoln and Jefferson. Truman is an interesting choice for sure, I don't think I've ever heard anyone call him a favorite before. For myself, I'd say the two Roosevelts with Lincoln rounding out the top three. It just struck me that this would be a good question to ask at the general debates, and I'm surprised it hasn't been before. (I guess the Republicans would always just say Reagan though and make it pointless.) Nader is asked if he would take a cabinet position in a Democratic administration and he says no. I think it's bullshit the moderator wastes time asking about their "worst photo out there" and I love the fact that Nader refuses to answer such a stupid question.
I love that older woman challenging them to repeal the PATRIOT Act, FISA Courts, cut the military budget and on and on. It was a real take no prisoners question and unfortunately Dean doesn't give a satisfactory answer. I did like Dean saying that the way to win elections, and the Democrats haven't learned this, is to energize their base and not try to appeal to the other side. Democrats briefly learned this lesson in 2008 and have since took a massive step backwards, especially with regards to 2016. Nader advocates for a binding "none of the above" answer on the ballot and if that wins, the candidates are thrown out and new elections held. This is a suggestion I took to heart and included in my Constitutional Reforms project.
Dean seems to really care about gay rights, and I bring this up because it's touching and I respect him even more for it. He mentioned it a few times in the '04 Iowa primary debate, and mentions it a lot more often here.
Overall, this is a great little debate. I think Nader edged out Dean overall, especially in the beginning, but that's not to say Dean did bad by any means or that it was one-sided. Nader is just a no-nonsense champion of the people, and doesn't deserve the "spoiler" attacks which get thrown at him. Dean I think is a lot more progressive than he's allowed to say here since he was stuck in the unfortunate position of having to defend the Democratic Party, which even he must know is corrupt on some level. There is something to be said for his practicality as well, and I hope in the future we'll see a Sanders-esque merging of the two strategies, with progressives hijacking the Democratic party and dragging it kicking and screaming back to the left where it ought to be.
Nader vs Gingrich
Another Nader debate, this time against Newt Gingrich about the direction America should go in the new millennium. I don't have a whole lot to say except I agree with Nader (big surprise, right?) and while I hate his positions, Newt surprisingly got a few good points in himself. This is actually a much more civil debate than the one against Dean, surprisingly to me. It's pretty weird seeing these older speeches and debates and watching many a GOP politician get more and more unreasonable as time goes on. You see Newt now, as Trump's lackey, acting disgraceful on Megyn Kelly's show, and his ridiculous ideas at the 2012 debate. Then you go back in time to see him just ten years earlier and he's actually kinda sorta reasonable (but was still an asshole in his private life—see how he treated his wife.)
An interesting policy proposal Nader mentions here, which I'd never heard of or considered before, is a tax on stock market purchases. I think that's a fantastic idea and another great way we could raise money. As he states, it makes no sense that buying food or clothing requires a 5% or 6% tax, yet buying millions in GM stock is not taxed in any way. He says even a penny of tax would generate a ton of revenue.
After seeing this third debate I can say without a doubt Nader is one of if not the best debaters I've ever seen. He doesn't pull punches, and he knows exactly what he's talking about. He doesn't need to resort to ad hominems or anything else, all he does is point out how devastating the effects of corporate favoritism are and the way they exploit people and the planet. There's no way the other guy can respond because Nader is merely telling the truth. Anyone who boils Nader down to a 2000 spoiler candidate isn't giving him nearly the credit he deserves. He's the greatest voice against corporate power and domination of the last 25 years, and maybe the greatest EVER. If he wants to run for President we should be honored to have such a great choice to get behind for once, not shame him because the lackluster Democrat candidate, whether it be Clinton or Kerry or Gore, has to actually acknowledge their party's progressive wing and our goals for once. Don't blame him that Al Gore ran such a flawed campaign.
McGovern vs Buckley
Another wonderful debate I strongly encourage you all to watch. William Buckley was a very influential Conservative writer and idealist who helped inspire the modern Conservative movement. George McGovern is…you ought to know by now if you read my blog…but the most outspoken and no-compromises progressive to ever be nominated by the Democratic Party since FDR.
Now, in this case, I feel pretty comfortable saying McGovern won. Obviously I'm incredibly biased, given I'm a Liberal and McGovern is my personal hero as far as politics goes. But the reason why I say that is because Buckley spends a good deal of time taking pot shots and "gotcha" moments at McGovern. Criticizing votes he made decades ago (which, in his rebuttal, McGovern provides the context to that admonishes him) and again, implying he's weak or careless towards the troops for wanting to scale back military spending. I consider the latter an especially cheap shot considering McGovern's esteemed military record. On top of that, Buckley refused to answer some of the questions at the following Q&A and then at the last minute adds a few points to his earlier rebuttals when McGovern was not given that same opportunity for more time. In contrast, McGovern earnestly answers each question asked him and admits he himself used to be a Conservative and Christian fundamentalist. McGovern was also the only one to say both ideologies have a place in the world: that Liberal policies are always the ones moving society forward but they need to be held in check by Conservatives.
Overall, McGovern just made a stronger argument and came across as more respectful of his opposing debater than Buckley did. With McGovern I got the sense that he's considered both sides and made an informed choice, where Buckley says "I never was a liberal" with a smug grin, implying he made up his mind decades ago and never even considered the other side. (For the record, I was a conservative myself until college.)
But dont take my word on it. Watch for yourself.

Guess Who's Racing on the Philippines' biggest reality show!
Unknown 12:26 AM Derek Ramsay , Kapatid , reality TV show , TV5 Edit
TV5 finally brings the world's biggest adventure to Philippine television with the launch of The Amazing Race Philippines, which will be hosted by actor and sportsman Derek Ramsay. Following the announcement of TV5's franchise acquisition, excitement runs high for the show's Filipino fans as the nine-time Emmy winner. As a matter of fact, the Philippines has always been a favorite destination of The Amazing Race franchise.
