Interviews: Ask Ray Kurzweil About the Future of Mankind and Technology
The recipient of nineteen honorary doctorates, and honors from three U.S. presidents, Ray Kurzweil's accolades are almost too many to list. A prolific inventor, Kurzweil created the first CCD flatbed scanner, the first omni-font optical character recognition, the first print-to-speech reading machine for the blind, the first text-to-speech synthesizer, and the first music synthesizer capable of recreating the grand piano and other orchestral instruments. His book, The Singularity Is Near, was a New York Times best seller. and is considered one of the best books about futurism and transhumanism ever written. Mr. Kurzweil was hired by Google in December as Director of Engineering to "work on new projects involving machine learning and language processing." He has agreed to take a short break from creating and predicting the future in order to answer your questions. As usual, you're invited to ask as many questions as you'd like, but please divide them, one question per post.
Deal signed to clear Myanmar debt, allow new loans
YANGON, Myanmar (AP) -- The World Bank on Sunday announced a long-awaited deal to allow Myanmar to clear part of its huge decades-old foreign debt, opening the door for new much-needed lending to jump-start its lagging economy.
The bank's Washington headquarters announced in a statement that the Japan Bank for International Cooperation, the country's overseas development bank, will provide a bridge loan to Myanmar to allow it to cover outstanding debt to the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank, which totals about $900 million.
Myanmar stopped payments on its old loans about 1987, making it ineligible for new development lending.
The deal is a major breakthrough for Myanmar, with loans likely to go to upgrading its dilapidated infrastructure, including electricity and ports. The knock-on effect would be to bring in more foreign direct investment, already attracted by the country's relatively low-cost economy.
The deal is also likely to draw criticism, because it comes as Myanmar's army is pushing hard against ethnic Kachin rebels in the country's north, in an echo of the notorious counterinsurgency campaigns of previous military regimes.
A former general, Thein Sein, became the country's elected president in 2011 and began reversing almost five decades of military repression by instituting political and economic reforms.
He won the substantial easing of economic and political sanctions imposed against the junta by the United States and other nations. But some pro-democracy activists say his administration has been rewarded too much, too fast, allowing some abuses to continue, such as repression of ethnic minorities.
The World Bank had already made some exceptions to providing new aid.
In November, it approved an $80 million project to provide $25,000 grants to villages in 15 townships across the country, where community councils will identify the kind of help they want, such as roads, bridges, irrigation systems, schools, health clinics or rural markets. The bank reopened its office in Myanmar in August last year.
The bank was able to act because President Barack Obama earlier lifted a long-standing U.S. restriction on international financial institutions, such as the World Bank, lending to Myanmar after Congress passed legislation enabling that step. It was one in a series of steps by Washington to reward the Southeast Asian country for its democratic reforms.
The World Bank statement did not detail the mechanics of the new deal to clear the debt arrears.
It did say the bank's board on Jan. 22 approved a $440 million "Reengagement and Reform Support Credit to Myanmar."
It said the credit would support "critical reforms being implemented by the Government to strengthen macroeconomic stability, improve public financial management and improve the investment climate."
It added that its proceeds would "also help the Government meet its foreign exchange needs, including repaying (the) bridge loan" and that there are currently discussions with the government to identify priority needs.
Separately, the Manila-based Asian Development Bank announced it would extend a $512 million loan to Myanmar under the same sort of arrangement with the Japan Bank for International Cooperation ,
"Myanmar has come a long way in its economic transformation, undertaking unprecedented reforms to improve people's lives, especially the poor and vulnerable," the statement quoted the World Bank's Myanmar Country Director Annette Dixon as saying.
"Much work remains to be done. We are committed to helping the government accelerate poverty reduction and build shared prosperity. The Bank's engagement, together with the ADB, the Government of Japan and other partners, will help attract investment, spur growth and create jobs."
Myanmar had run up $8.4 billion in debt during the socialist regime of the late Gen. Ne Win between 1962 and 1988, and $2.61 billion of debt after a new military junta took over in 1988, making for a total of just more than $11 billion.
The largest creditor before 1988 was Japan, with loans of $6.39 billion, and the biggest post-1988 creditor was China, with $2.13 billion.

CAIRO (AP) ? A curfew was to begin Monday after Egypt's president declared a state of emergency in three Suez Canal provinces hit hardest by a weekend wave of unrest that left more than 50 dead and plunged the nation further into turmoil.
President Mohammed Morsi's declaration was reminiscent of the tactics used by the country's ousted regime to get a grip on discontent. This time, the anger is fueled by his Islamist policies and the slow pace of change.
Angry and almost screaming, Morsi vowed in a televised address on Sunday night that he would not hesitate to take even more action to stem the latest eruption of violence across much of the country. But at the same time, he sought to reassure Egyptians that his latest moves would not take the country back into authoritarianism.
"There is no going back on freedom, democracy and the supremacy of the law," he said.
The worst violence this weekend was in the Mediterranean coastal city of Port Said, where seven people were killed on Sunday, pushing the toll for two days of clashes to at least 44. The unrest was sparked on Saturday by a court conviction and death sentence for 21 defendants involved in a mass soccer riot in the city's main stadium on Feb. 1, 2012 that left 74 dead.
Most of those sentenced to death were local soccer fans from Port Said, deepening a sense of persecution that Port Said's residents have felt since the stadium disaster, the worst soccer violence ever in Egypt.
At least another 11 died on Friday elsewhere in the country during rallies marking the second anniversary of the anti-Mubarak uprising. Protesters used the occasion to renounce Morsi and his Islamic fundamentalist group, the Muslim Brotherhood, which emerged as the country's most dominant political force after Mubarak's ouster.
The curfew and state of emergency, both in force for 30 days, affect the provinces of Port Said, Ismailiya and Suez. The curfew takes effect Monday from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. every day.
Morsi, in office since June, also invited the nation's political forces to a dialogue starting Monday to resolve the country's latest crisis. A statement issued later by his office said that among those invited were the country's top reform leader, Nobel peace Laureate Mohammed ElBaradei, former Arab League chief Amr Moussa and Hamdeen Sabahi, a leftist politician who finished third in last year's presidential race.
The three are leaders of the National Salvation Front, an umbrella for the main opposition parties.
Khaled Dawoud, the Front's spokesman, said Morsi's invitation was meaningless unless he clearly states what is on the agenda. That, he added, must include amending a disputed constitution hurriedly drafted by the president's Islamist allies and rejected by the opposition.
He also faulted the president for not acknowledging his political responsibility for the latest bout of political violence.
"It is all too little too late," Dawoud told The Associated Press.
In many ways, Morsi's decree and his call for a dialogue betrayed his despair in the face of wave after wave of political unrest, violence and man-made disasters that, at times, made the country look like it was about to come unglued.
A relative unknown until his Muslim Brotherhood nominated him to run for president last year, Morsi is widely criticized for having offered no vision for the country's future after nearly 30 years of dictatorship under Mubarak and no coherent policy to tackle seemingly endless problems, from a free falling economy and deeply entrenched social injustices to surging crime and chaos on the streets.
Reform of the judiciary and the police, hated under the old regime for brutality, are also key demands of Morsi's critics.
Morsi did not say what he plans to do to stem the violence in other parts of the country outside those three provinces, but he did say he had instructed the police to deal "firmly and forcefully" with individuals attacking state institutions, using firearms to "terrorize" citizens or blocking roads and railway lines.
There were also clashes Sunday in Cairo and several cities in the Nile Delta region, including the industrial city of Mahallah.
Egypt's current crisis is the second to hit the country since November, when Morsi issued decrees, since rescinded, that gave him nearly unlimited powers and placed him above any oversight, including by the judiciary.
The latest eruption of political violence has deepened the malaise as Morsi struggles to get a grip on enormous social and economic problems and the increasingly dangerous fault lines that divide this nation of 85 million.
In an ominous sign, a one-time jihadist group on Sunday blamed the secular opposition for the violence and threatened to set up vigilante militias to defend the government it supports. Tareq el-Zomr of the once-jihadist Gamaa Islamiya, said that if the authorities fail to achieve security, "it will be the right of the Egyptian people ... to set up popular committees to protect private and public property and counter the aggression on innocent citizens."
In Port Said on Sunday, tens of thousands of mourners poured into the streets for a mass funeral for most of the 37 people who died on Saturday. They chanted slogans against Morsi.
"We are now dead against Morsi," said Port Said activist Amira Alfy. "We will not rest now until he goes and we will not take part in the next parliamentary elections. Port Said has risen and will not allow even a semblance of normalcy to come back," she said.
The violence flared only a month after a prolonged crisis ? punctuated by deadly violence ? over the new constitution. Ten died in that round of unrest and hundreds were injured.
In Port Said, mourners chanted "There is no God but Allah," and "Morsi is God's enemy" as the funeral procession made its way through the city after prayers for the dead at the city's Mariam Mosque. Women clad in black led the chants, which were quickly picked up by the rest of the mourners.
There were no police or army troops in sight. But the funeral procession briefly halted after gunfire rang out. Security officials said it came from several mourners who opened fire at the Police Club next to the cemetery. Activists, however, said the gunfire first came from inside the army club, which is also close to the cemetery. Some of the mourners returned fire, which drew more shots as well as tear gas, according to witnesses. They, together with the officials, spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation in the city on the Mediterranean at the northern tip of the Suez Canal.
A total of 630 people were injured, some of them with gunshot wounds, said Abdel-Rahman Farag, director of the city's hospitals.
Also Sunday, army troops backed by armored vehicles staked out positions at key government facilities to protect state interests and try to restore order.
There was also a funeral in Cairo for two policemen killed in the Port Said violence a day earlier. Several policemen grieving for their colleagues heckled Interior Minister Mohammed Ibrahim, who is in charge of the force, when he arrived for their funeral, according to witnesses.
The angry officers screamed at the minister that he was only at the funeral for the TV cameras ? a highly unusual show of dissent in Egypt, where the police force maintains military-like discipline.
Ibrahim hurriedly left and the funeral proceeded without him, a sign that the prestige of the state and its top executives were diminishing.
In Cairo, clashes broke out for the fourth straight day on Sunday, with protesters and police outside two landmark, Nile-side hotels near central Tahrir Square, birthplace of the 2011 uprising. Police fired tear gas while protesters pelted them with rocks.

Feds: Disabled students must be allowed to play sports | Lake ...
Posted by admin in Outdoor & Sports on January 26th, 2013 |
no responses
By Phillip Elliott, AP
WASHINGTON ? Students with disabilities must be given a fair shot to play on a traditional sports team or have their own leagues, the Education Department says.
Disabled students who want to play for their school could join traditional teams if officials can make ?reasonable modifications? to accommodate them. If those adjustments would fundamentally alter a sport or give the student an advantage, the department is directing the school to create parallel athletic programs that have comparable standing to traditional programs.
?Sports can provide invaluable lessons in discipline, selflessness, passion and courage, and this guidance will help schools ensure that students with disabilities have an equal opportunity to benefit from the life lessons they can learn on the playing field or on the court,? Education Secretary Arne Duncan said in a statement announcing the new guidance Friday.
The groundbreaking order is reminiscent of the Title IX expansion of athletic opportunities for girls and women four decades ago and could bring sweeping changes to school budgets and locker rooms for years to come.
Activists cheered the changes.
?This is a landmark moment for students with disabilities. This will do for students with disabilities what Title IX did for women,? said Terri Lakowski, who for a decade led a coalition pushing for the changes. ?This is a huge victory.?
It?s not clear whether the new guidelines will spark a sudden uptick in sports participation. There was a big increase in female participation in sports after Title IX guidance instructed schools to treat female athletics on par with male teams. That led many schools to cut some men?s teams, arguing that it was necessary to be able to pay for women?s teams.
Education Department officials emphasized they did not intend to change sports traditions dramatically or guarantee students with disabilities a spot on competitive teams. Instead, they insisted schools may not exclude students based on their disabilities if they can keep up with their classmates.
Federal laws, including the 1973 Rehabilitation Act and the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act, require states to provide a free public education to all students and prohibit schools that receive federal money from discriminating against students with disabilities. Going further, the new directive from the Education Department?s civil rights division explicitly tells schools and colleges that access to interscholastic, intramural and intercollegiate athletics is a right.
The department suggests minor accommodations to incorporate students with disabilities onto sports teams. For instance, track and field officials could use a visual cue for a deaf runner to begin a race.
Some states already offer such programs. Maryland, for instance, passed a law in 2008 that required schools to create equal opportunities for students with disabilities to participate in physical education programs and play on traditional athletic teams. And Minnesota awards state titles for disabled student athletes in six sports.
Increasingly, those with disabilities are finding spots on their schools? teams.
?I heard about some of the other people who joined their track teams in other states. I wanted to try to do that,? said Casey Followay, 15, of Wooster, Ohio, who competes on his high school track team in a racing wheelchair.
Current rules require Followay to race on his own, without competitors running alongside him. He said he hopes the Education Department guidance will change that and he can compete against runners.
?It?s going to give me the chance to compete against kids at my level,? he said.
Some cautioned that progress would come in fits and starts initially.
?Is it easy? No,? said Brad Hedrick, director of disability services at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and himself a hall-of-famer in the National Wheelchair Basketball Association. ?In most places, you?re beginning from an inertial moment. But it is feasible and possible that a meaningful and viable programming can be created.?

Cool socks, Chicago pride and Pop Rocks at the UFC on Fox 6 weigh-ins
CHICAGO -- The UFC on Fox 6 weigh-ins featured a large, raucous, possibly liquored up crowd of Chicago fight fans, plenty of cool socks, and every fighter making weight. The only fighter who came close to not making weight was Clay Guida. He walked to the scale wearing a custom shirt with the Chicago flag on it and a Chicago flag wristband. He jumped on the scale and was 147, too heavy for featherweight in his first fight at that weight class. He then took off his Chicago Bulls socks and jewelry, and made weight. The only other bit of drama was some jawing between Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and Glover Teixiera.
Read on for a complete list of weights and more pictures from the weigh-in.
MAIN CARD (FOX, 8 p.m. ET)
? Champ Demetrious Johnson (125) vs. John Dodson (124)
? Quinton Jackson (204) vs. Glover Teixeira (206)
? Donald Cerrone (155) vs. Anthony Pettis (155)
? Erik Koch (145) vs. Ricardo Lamas (145)
PRELIMINARY CARD (FX, 5 p.m. ET)
? T.J. Grant (155) vs. Matt Wiman (156)
? Clay Guida (146) vs. Hatsu Hioki (146)
? Pascal Krauss (171) vs. Mike Stumpf (170)
? Ryan Bader (205) vs. Vladimir Matyushenko (205)
? Shawn Jordan (251) vs. Mike Russow (256)
? Rafael Natal (185) vs. Sean Spencer (186)
PRELIMINARY CARD (Facebook, 4:30 p.m. ET)
? David Mitchell (171) vs. Simeon Thoresen (171)
At left, Clay Guida and his Chicago Bulls socks. Donald Cerrone's cowboy boots and Superman socks are at right.
Guida's family had their guy's head on a stick and Guida buttons at weigh-ins. They were loud and supportive of Guida on Thursday, so you can bet they'll be out in numbers at the fights Saturday.
Dodson had Pop Rocks as his post weigh-in snack.
Thanks to Combat Lifestyle for the pictures.

Archos moves into iPad accessories with the Archos Design Bluetooth Keyboard
Archos is very well known for its tablets and was one of the first to hit the market with a dedicated personal media player. Now after years of average success with its own products, it is branching out by making accessories for other devices. First out of the gate is the Archos Design Bluetooth Keyboard for iPad, it is a magnetic clip on Bluetooth keyboard designed to be used with the all 9.7-inch iPads with the exception of the first generation.
The Bluetooth Keyboard for iPad was created by a new division in ARCHOS that will be dedicated to sharing ARCHOS innovations with other brands. With a very similar look and feel to the ARCHOS Gen10 XS coverboard, the Bluetooth Keyboard for iPad is ultra-thin at only 5 mm (0.2??) and features an adjustable kickstand along with an aluminum back casing. Combining the best of both worlds.
?The needs and wants of today?s consumer have changed drastically over the past few years. Consumers expect everything to be smaller, faster, thinner, lighter and aesthetically pleasing,? says Henri Crohas, Founder and CEO of ARCHOS. ?In order to meet this demand we feel that we should share our innovation and design across a number of different platforms.?
The Archos Design Bluetooth Keyboard for iPad certainly looks the part with its super slim design, aluminium construction, long battery life and magnetic connection to the iPad. It is slated to be released in March this year with a suggested price of $79.

Ubuntu Phone Seems To Be The Computing Of Future - Techno Bash
An android and iPhone competitor, Ubuntu is skating to where the puck is going to be. But, with such a bold move, there are significant obstacles to overcome. The soon to be released Ubuntu Phone is paving the way that all smart phones will eventually go. The components required to build the computers become smaller and cheaper, till eventually it was possible to put one on your desk. The computer stayed on the desk until the laptop computer, a smaller, more portable, but just as powerful machine, made it nearly obsolete. And then, the iPhone was released, followed shortly after by Android and the Palm WebOS, and the next step in computing was clear. Mobile computing devices like our phones are the next wave in personal computing. They continue the trend of laptops by being smaller and portable, and exceed by having near ubiquitous Internet access, and by being so portable they can fit in your pocket.
The Ubuntu mobile software, like its OS for desktops, will be open source and built around the kernel Google?created for its Android software. At a press conference in Las Vegas, Canonical , maker of?Ubuntu, demonstrated the mobile software operating on a Galaxy Nexus. With Ubuntu?s smartphone software, users will see a mix of old and new.Ubuntu mobile OS has kept some familiar Android features such as the sideways sweeping gestures and the system status icons including battery life, connection, and volume on the right side of the notification bar. The?Ubuntu software also offers some nice surprises like larger App icons and thumb gestures that access content and active app switching.? The Ubuntu Phone is expected to be released in late 2013 and will be preloaded on Android phones.. Phones will ship with both Chromium and Firefox browsers and run Linux native apps written in QML and web apps written in HTML5, CSS, and Javascript.

Radio host tricked by Onion story on drones at Obama?s inauguration
The Onion's fake photo shows drones flying over Obama's inauguration (The Onion)
The Onion strikes again.
A radio host fell for a fake story from the satirical website that showed a doctored image of a ?drone flyover? on President Barack Obama?s inauguration day.
The post on the Facebook page of KFAI host Andy Driscoll was surfaced by City Pages, which pointed out that Driscoll, who hosts ?TruthToTell? on the community radio station in St. Paul, Minn., had written "ugly" underneath an image that showed what appeared to be three remote-controlled drones hovering ominously over the enormous crowds.
Driscoll's posting sparked a long comment thread, including this from Kristin Tapper: ?1984 is no longer fiction.?
Driscoll seemed to agree: ?Never seen three in a cluster formation like that, but they're obviously scanning the crowd for potential trouble?all monitored by a site in Las Vegas.?
But even when Driscoll learned the story was fake, he argued that it felt true: ?There's a reason the Onion can make satire out of this photo, which was obviously doctored to give us a laugh (ceremonial drone flyover, indeed! HA!), is that satire is a stretch of the truth."
The radio host shouldn't feel bad about being fooled; after all, the Onion got China's main newspaper, People's Daily Online, to run a story announcing that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un had been named Sexiest Man Alive.

Safeguard Home Flood Insurance petition launched | The Hedon Blog
FOLLOWING the efforts of a local Hedon councillor who brought the threat to affordable Home Flood Insurance to the attention of the East Riding Council, a constituency-wide petition has been launched on the issue!
Councillor John Dennis secured the unanimous support of the East Riding Council this month, in a call for the Government to join in ?meaningful discussions? with the insurance industry so that affordable premiums remained available to residents after a national agreement ends in July.
Now Graham Stuart MP has launched a petition entitled Safeguard Home Flood Insurance which reads:
The Petition of the residents of Beverley and Holderness.
The petitioners believe that flood insurance must remain available and affordable to householders. They?therefore call upon Her Majesty?s Government to make every effort to reach an agreement with insurers?before the expiration of the current ?Statement of Principles? in June 2013.
The petitioners therefore request that the Prime Minister urges the Government to negotiate with the Association?of British Insurers to reach an agreement to succeed the ?statement of principles?.
You can download a copy of the petition Flood-Insurance-Petition-BH1?and it is available below. Completed petitions need to be returned to Graham Stuart by Monday 25th February 2013.

All Critics (47) | Top Critics (13) | Fresh (44) | Rotten (3)
[Leaves] you drained and horrified.
Sometimes, the sun shines and the wind blows fresh and the very elements that make for intense hardship also open a window on intense joy.
Hoss is mesmerizing as a woman who holds it all together to the point of losing herself.
It's one terrific film, as smart, thoughtful and emotionally involving as just about anything that's out there.
It's a quiet film built of careful details.
"Barbara" re-visits the quiet, everyday tragedies of the Iron Curtain era, when paranoia ran deep and for very good reasons.
Feels like total immersion into the sights, stresses, and the subtle solidarity among middle-class professionals living in the workers' paradise that Petzold's parents fled.
[R]esides somewhere in an unsatisfying borderland between drama and thriller, never quite catching fire as either...
A superbly crafted low-boil drama that gets its hooks into you the old-fashioned way, through character, and highlights the difficulties and cost of living by principles.
Subtly intriguing and ambiguous, it's filled with suspicion and subterfuge.
Despite the limited scope of its predictable narrative, "Barbara" remains a compelling character study thanks to Nina Hoss's enigmatic performance in the title role.
Christian Petzold's latest thriller threatens to cross over the line from minimalism to nihilism.
Both insightful and poignant, but not mawkish...an intriguing character study set against the backdrop of a dark time in history.
The plotting, the planning and the deepening relationships don't make for kinetic action, but they are the foundation for a smart, engrossing film.
Hoss' acting is a marvel of subtlety; her body language is precisely calibrated to reveal a great deal about the character's inner feelings by the slightest changes of posture and facial expression.
...a slow building character study where looks and actions speak louder than words because of an oppressive political climate.

Guernsey Personal Trainer: Health and Fat Loss For Teenagers ...
I feel like I?m holding a stick of dynamite right now writing this.
I don?t have children which I think makes me MORE qualified to write about this because I?m looking at it from an objective perspective.
I also write some of this from the viewpoint of a coach who has worked with children who ?just won?t eat properly?, ?won?t go out the house? and ?won?t get off the computer?, yet we?ve seen massive changes in a short amount of time.
The fact is that kids are getting fatter, girls are starting their periods earlier which exposes them to issues later in life, boys are turning into girls and quite frankly we?re in danger of killing ourselves off.
So I figure if this article at least keeps a few boys on track to man hood and a few girls turn away from the utter crap written in magazines illustrating role models who aren?t even reality due to photoshop and trickery during photoshoots then I may well save humanity.
And let?s not beat about the bush. It is the parents fault. It is the fault of the medical and health systems.
BUT before you think I?m questioning anyone?s parenting skills, I firmly believe the problem is much deeper rooted than that and falls at the feet of those with the money and power at the head of these organisations.
The problem is that these organisations are just that.
Organisations without a face.
In the past, it was easy to assess.
Joe Bloggs was the head of the organisation and everybody did what he said.
Now people can hide amongst the relative anonymity of ?the board? and justify their own actions by the pressure of ?the shareholders?.
The shareholders in these organisations often now hide behind holding companies to blur the chain of responsibility even further.
We blame McDonald?s.
We blame Big Pharma.
We blame business pressures at work but don?t even know who really pulls the strings half the time.
IF we get the chance to voice our concerns to those who are in charge at work, we rarely will speak up for fear of losing our job.
Why?
Because we can?t bear the thought of having less money to spend on those things we don?t even need but feel we should have to keep up with everyone else doing the same thing.
Now I KNOW not everyone is in this position and many work their asses of to get by but I am writing from the viewpoint of my local island which in the main is a very wealthy place to live.
So we keep on bowing to societal pressures which make us:
- Work longer
- Focus on whatever needs to be done to make more money
- Keep the kids entertained with computers so we can catch up on email, get to that soiree with those people we can?t stand but need to schmooze with
- Spend on a bigger house which has 5 bedrooms for our 2 kids.
(I know it?s an investment for the children?s future. Personally I would take the lessons I learned from my Mum and Dad at the dinner table over money in the bank when I?m older because now I have the tools to do it myself.?Don?t get me wrong, my parents have helped me out financially to speed things up but realistically, by the time most kids inherit money when their parents pass away, if they?ve been educated well, they?ve figured things out and it?s more of a financial bonus)
I see so many people build bigger houses when their parents pass away. So they didn?t really NEED it, but it?s what we do ? especially here in Guernsey)
Anyway, my point is that we seem to be in this whirlwind of financial pressure which we, as adults, all create together.
And it is VERY difficult to get out of. How do you say ?No? at work when there is someone else ready to take your job if you don?t?
And what the hell has this got to do with fat teenagers anyway?
Well in my opinion, the world has become focussed on what we and our children ?might? need in the future and in the main it means screw whatever the hell is going on right now.
We want to pass the future on to:
- Schools
- Childminders
- Doctors and health services
- Sports teachers
And we all know there is a problem but nobody is doing anything about it?
Why?
I don?t really know other than what I just said.
It?s easier to focus on things we can directly quantify now.
More time at work = more money in bank = better future for child (technically).
We also disassociate our own problems with what happened in our own childhood when our parents and their parents didn?t have the same knowledge we have now about nutrition.
It is a common sight now to have fat Uncle Joe say ?It?s good to see the lad eat? right before Aunty Joan reminds him to take his heart pills, blood sugar pills and cholesterol pills.
He remembers the joys of stuffing his face with chocolates and other luxuries which only became mainstream as he was growing up but doesn?t put any of his metabolic diseases down to this.
?I?m just getting older?.
If we take all this back to basics, your kids are, and should be an extension of you.
How we treat ourselves will carry over to our kids until they grow up to see the light (if they ever do) or we admit that we made mistakes, did this wrong and need to make changes.
Let?s stop saying to kids ?You did so well today so now you can be naughty and eat this shite?
How about we say, ?You did so well, so you get to do (insert awesome activity) which will make you even better?
Why do we reward success with things that drag us down?!
This is best continue in a fictional conversation pulling together all the ?reasons? people give for letting kids eat badly and get fat, and the answers I?ve uncovered so far and have SEEN to work.
I?m not making this up or suggesting it ?might work?. This is TRUTH.
?I haven?t got time?
Haven?t got time for what?
To steam veg and grill meat which takes about 10 minutes followed by 1 minute putting it all in a box for lunch tomorrow?
Do you HONESTLY spend less than 11 minutes with your children in the evening?
Do you SERIOUSLY not cook an evening meal of some kind? Even microwaving stuff is going to take 5 minutes or so.
And how about we teach teenagers to grill stuff and chop vegetables?
I?m sure if they can figure out how to write a computer program that can hack into millions of bank accounts by the age of 13, they can peel a carrot.
?But I?m too tired to spend 10-15 minutes cooking?
You?re too tired because you?re trying to keep up with a child who is drugged up on:
- Sugars from cereals
- Sugars and toxic chemicals from fizzy drinks
- Sugars from sweets
- Sweeteners which increase cravings more than sugar does turning them into an aggressive monster who hates you because you?re trying to get them to go to bed when they are literally tripping on sugar. Try and get a druggie to lie down and go to sleep half way through a rave and see what happens.
- Stimulants
On top of this, because your child is not getting enough vitamins and minerals (sorry, 5-a-day is bullshit) they are likely not getting enough of nature?s relaxants, in particular magnesium.
You also don?t get them to eat enough quality, oily fish or take fish oils so, like you, they are not getting enough essential fatty acids into their brains.
This reduces concentration and creativity so they can?t sit still for more than 5 minutes and focus on something.
So rather than give up and say you?re too tired, why don?t YOU start the chain of events that will change this?
You?re also tired because you?re chasing the financial dreams and busting your ass for things which, even if you attain them, make you know happier.
Why?
Because insecurity never leaves no matter what you get.
Again if YOU change, it will help the child change.
?But they won?t eat healthily?
Case 1: We have an autistic 12 year old who had never eaten meat or a vegetable and was described as agrophobic by his mother.
After just two weeks of kickboxing and basic circuits?.
?Harry is taking your word as gospel. Please can you add sleep to your Hero Camp homework.
You?ve got him drinking water, which in itself is a miracle. In fact in one week you?ve surpassed the efforts of the pediatric feeding clinic and a whole host of medical specialists.
If you can sort the sleep, then you will be a Super Hero.
He?s looking forward to spending his 12th birthday at camp later. THANK YOU ?
The problem I see is that parents make a classic business mistake.
They try to sell healthy food to children.
Buy my healthy food and I?ll give you a treat. Classic door-to-door salesman!
The key in my opinion, is to get kids to BUY into healthy food.
Find out what it is that captivates them about life, then tell them why healthy food helps them get there.
I was never a healthy eater, then I read that muscley guys only eat clean carbs, fats, protein and veg.
Guess what I started eating?
See right now we get them to buy into BAD food!
Bad food is given as a reward for doing XYZ and all they understand is the false high afterwards. They learn to love bad food.
The human body wants healthy food when the mind and hormonal systems has not been intoxicated.
This might take some tough love, but humans will eat when they are hungry.
If you keep throwing in things to ?keep them going?, you?ll never get anywhere.
Take away the arm bands and the kid learns to swim.
And who are their role models?
I remember getting into spinach because Popeye ate it and he had big muscles.
Funny? Yeah, but it worked to get me to eat it.
We don?t give children the right associations. We don?t guide them to make the decision THEMSELVES to eat better to be like XYZ.
Now we let kids watch TV all day where some smart ANONYMOUS bastards know that by telling them that Olympic gymnasts eat at Subway and that by having McDonald?s plastered all over the World Cup, kids will be programmed FOREVER to believe that these places are part of becoming a real life superhero.
You can bet your ass more teenagers are eating Subway now because the TV said it will make them an Olympian!
Perhaps if you found better role models and asked these people for some of their time to speak to your child or group of children, they will BUY INTO IT.
Our role models are now athletes who eat in fast food joints, robotic superheroes with giant weapons or characters who ponce around in the SIMS probably not eating much protein or vegetables but building a world of perfection around them.
Doesn?t work like that kid ? life can be tough and you need to fuel your body right.
But the Duff Beer man on the systems who is pretty ripped, won?t tell you that!
?But kids need treats?
At what point did your child ever start the process by saying, ?Mummy, I?ve decided from now on I will only behave if you give me those sweets??
PARENTS glorify sweets from Day 1.
PARENTS start the slippery slope!
And they do this, because it?s easy.
It?s much easier to just dish out sweets than offer something else as a treat.
What about if we teach kids the truth from the start?
Life isn?t always going to give you what you want when you want it.
Sometimes, you have to accumulate karma points.
What about if 90% good behaviour over 3 months resulted in a trip to Disneyland?
If you?re not a parent yet, you have an advantage.
Psychology studies show that the old adage ?you don?t miss what you?ve never had is so true?.
You can do this and not have to reverse engineer your teenager later on!
If your child is addicted to sweets (yes it is an addiction hence the paddy in the shop at the suggestion of not getting a fix), it?s because you let them get started.
I watched a program once on raw food families.
Now I don?t condone this way of eating all the time but when asked if they would love to have a McDonald?s the 6 year old asked somewhat sarcastically ?Why would I want it? I?ve never had it before so I don?t miss it!?
I don?t disagree that kids can have some sweets here and there but not every single day.
That is no longer a treat but a way of life.
?But all the other kids eat that stuff and little Jimmy will feel left out?
Speak to the parents who are always at the parties.
If everyone makes the change and there is just one treat available at the party, the kids will just get on and play.
There is always ridiculous amounts of crap food left after parties. It?s not even necessary.
Kids don?t go to parties to eat crap food ? it?s just ?what WE do?.
Out of sight, out of mind.
Anyway, why will he feel left out?
What are you going to do when he grows up and wants drugs and alcohol and feels left out?
THEN we get tough and wonder why teenagers revolt and find other ways to defy their parents.
?What about the school canteen. I can?t control that?
If a child has a packed lunch and no money to buy extra food, the canteen is irrelevant.
Plus, we have 8 girls on the first Student Body Under 18 camp. They came in the other day COMPLAINING ABOUT THE CANTEEN because someone had explained what they should be looking out for to eat and why.
They also said they were going to speak to the teachers and see if they can get healthy foods.
So the teenagers can do something about it, but you can?t?
?But he/she has always been like this since I can remember?
This is where we have to look a bit deeper.
There are enough studies to prove beyond doubt that what goes on during pregnancy can largely set a human for life.
Angry mum, angry child.
Mum is high in toxic metals, child?s brain gets affected.
Lack of essential fatty acids taken in by Mum, slower brain growth in child.
The list goes on.
Again, we can?t blame the child.
Many Mums-to-be seem to see pregnancy as an excuse to eat ANYTHING.
Studies have shown the average expectant mother needs an extra 300 calories per day for growth of the foetus.
That?s about an extra chicken breast and a portion of rice.
Not 3 Double Deckers, 4 packets of crisps and a Chinese takeaway.
Inadequate intake of good fats during pregnancy has been strongly linked to postpartum depression so if you?re just doing whatever you can to pacify your child when they are young because you can?t cope, chances are you missed out on essential nutrients during pregnancy ? this can set up a chain of events for life.
?But the NHS / HSSD / doctor says?.?
All of the above are built on beliefs from:
1) Pharmaceutical companies who control the medical education system
2) Old rules ? it takes 5-10 years for new research to be confirmed and become mainstream advice, if it ever does. Another case of organisational inertia.
I once contacted the HSSD in Guernsey to ask if they would promote a free seminar series for me to share what we have proven to melt body fat, balance blood sugar, improve indicators of heart disease and improve the mental wellbeing of people in weeks.
I was told they would only if they knew I was speaking about what they promote as advice.
Enough said.
Could I have pushed the matter?
Not really because who do you speak to?
The buck will get passed on to the anonymous ?organisation? or ?department?.
You also need to realise that doctor?s have just 10 minutes to find a solution so you go away happy.
They don?t have time for nutrition advice or looking at mental stress leading to over eating -and yes this is just as common in children as adults.
I used to blame doctors for this, but it is now clear to me it is simply the system.
Why have they only got 10 minutes?
Because they are too busy trying to sort out THE ADULTS AND PARENTS who are also in a mess but could take responsibility for themselves more so than the children.
Change begins with those who willing to accept responsibility so let?s not just blame the system.
?Yes but if I don?t do what the doc says my child will get sick?
I?m not sure that the vaccines with mercury in will do wonders for your child.
I?m not sure drinking litres of milk filled with antibiotics and hormones and which cause a powerful insulin surge will do them much good either.
And by the way mother?s milk contains much, much more DHA (good fats) than any other milk so no it?s not the same.
And how did humans ever become the dominant species without Kelloggs, or drinking cow?s puss?
We (rightly) worry about our children not getting sick during their more fragile years and focus on vaccines, medication and protecting them from ?bad people? but all the while, we?re pumping them fall of toxins, giving them very low levels of vitamins and minerals, exposing them to less and less oxygen, stressing them out with chemicals and excitotoxins and dehydration all of which create a terrain ripe for bacteria and virus?s to thrive.
Few people are asking the question why girls are having periods earlier and earlier.
It?s largely because of the over-exposure to estrogens THROUGH THE MOTHER and through their younger years INCLUDING BABY FORMULA CONTAINING SOY, non-organic vegetables, non-organic shampoos and soaps containing xenoestrogens and in some areas oestrogen in the water supply due to the pill in waste water.
What?s the problem?
Over exposure to estrogen not only leads to the problem of tissue growth (increased fat cells) in estrogen sensitive areas (the triceps, hips and thighs in ladies and the ?moons? in men) contributing to fat teenagers, but also increases the risk of breast cancer.
Then we make it worse with HRT later in life and further exposure to estrogen beyond what is natural but this is of course a whole new debate with other considerations.
?What about computers because my child gets on my nerves when he?s bored?
Well in my eyes, children are getting more and more bored, not less!
We give them computer games in which the aim is to get from A to B.
We give them toys that tell them how to play.
Where?s the imagination?
Where?s the creativity?
What happened to working out how to make a castle out of a cardboard box? Or bails of hay like I used to.
They have more toys than ever but are more bored and want more (a bit like us adults really funnily enough?.)
I love how my friends Brian Grasso and Carrie Campbell only let their children have a new toy when they have chosen which one is to be given to the charity shop.
The child then decides if they really need it and has to consider whether actually the existing set of toys has more undiscovered potential.
?What would you rather do? Go the beach or have an ice cream??
Can we break the chain of events that society says is how it?s done? Beach = ice cream. Does it have to?
?And my child doesn?t like competition or sport?
Really?
No, your child doesn?t like being made to feel the odd one out because he?s not good at something.
Why don?t we figure out how to win at something else?
Every kids loves to get a trophy or win a prize at the fair.
WE LOVE TO WIN. ALL OF US.
What have we done?
We?ve told kids, winning isn?t everything and even have football matches where no score is kept.
The the child grows up and can?t handle the fact that:
- Hooking up with members of the opposite sex is a competition with interesting rules. But ultimately, you win or lose.
- They got turned down for 4 jobs and now think they are useless because they can?t handle losing.
- Even at work, adults will make fun of you.
What happens?
They bury their head in the sand and turn to things that don?t keep score.
Namely, eating food when nobody is watching.
You seriously think they don?t like competition?
Then why do they get so excited by Pass The Parcel or computer games that challenge you to get to the next level or kill 500 men to get the bonus rifle?
Why do they want that toy so bad just because everyone else has it?
Because children DO understand and value competition.
It?s what humans did to evolve and to dominate.
You don?t lose this. It only gets masked when we get over protective and shilled children too much.
Not every child will be a sporting superstar.
But give them the opportunities to discover and the fuel from nutrition to keep going and they WILL find what they are here to do.
Some Questions We Should Ask Teenagers Which You Might Like To Try
Who do you want to be like?
Why?
Why do you want to do THAT? (The second why is much, much more important because they have to actually think about it and reason)
What do you prefer out of X and Y?
Why? (Not ? you are going to do this)
Why did you do that?
How did that make you feel? (Not ?Did you enjoy that?? which just gets a meaningless nod)
How could you help this person get better? (Cultivates team spirit)
How could you help 50 other people like them? (The last two questions are the two most important business questions incidentally)
What Now?
I don?t know, this has mentally drained me and quite honestly and made me pretty sad because it is clear a massive task.
I have the utmost respect for every parent out there and I hope you can see a genuine desire here to help you make a difference.
Few people will stick their neck out to make a change but it?s what I do and we?ve seen results already with children on our Under 18 Girls Fitness Camp and Under 18 Boys Superhero Fitness Camp.
I just feel we, as adults collectively, are passing the buck on to anonymous systems and organisations which are easy to blame rather than:
- Naming names and asking the difficult questions
- Taking responsibility for ourselves as examples to the next generation
- Giving children more credit than they get for wanting to be fit and healthy
- Helping them see the light rather than taking the easy route and ?pacifying? them
- Assuming nothing can be done
I would love to hear your thoughts and expect many people to disagree with me on some or all of this.
That?s fine and if nothing else may give me more ideas to work with.
All I can say is that sometimes when we just learn to love ourselves, treat ourselves better and BE the shining example, others will copy and warm to us!

CSN: 'We always believed,' Ravens' Boldin says
Ravens receiver Anquan Boldin never had any doubt.
He stood in front of his locker after the Ravens? late-season losing streak reached three and vowed that the Ravens would still win the division. He stood in front of the media after the Ravens? first-round playoff game and vowed that the Ravens would win at Denver in the Divisional Round. Then he stood in the Ravens locker room this past week and vowed that the Ravens would beat New England.
On Sunday, Boldin was as good as his word, catching two second-half touchdown passes to help lead the Ravens past the Patriots, 28-13, for a spot in the Super Bowl.
?Even after those three losses I told them don?t panic, we?re gonna right the ship, we?re gonna win the division, we?re gonna make it to the playoffs,? Boldin said. ?? We?ve been through a lot as a team. We?ve had injuries after injuries, we had one of our brothers lose a loved one, we lost the offensive coordinator. You name it, we?ve been through it, but this team has never wavered, no matter what the situation. We always believed.?
For Ravens such as Boldin, the win was especially gratifying after losing the AFC title game to New England last year in agonizing fashion, 23-20.
??We came here last year and left with a bitter taste in our mouth,? Boldin said. ?We felt like this team (the Patriots) had taken something away from us, and we wanted to come back and make that right.
It would have been great to do it in front of our fans in Baltimore ? but we thought the proper way would be to come back here and to win at Foxborough.?
Boldin was held without a catch in the first half, but he became a major factor in the second half, during which the Ravens outscored the Patriots 21-0. Boldin caught a 3-yard score to give the Ravens a 21-13 lead, and his 11-yard touchdown grab with 11:13 left turned out to be the game?s final score.
The Patriots? secondary suffered a big loss when cornerback Aqib Talib left early with an apparent hamstring injury, and the Ravens really went into attack mode in the second half.
Quarterback Joe Flacco (21-36, 240 yards, 3 touchdowns, 0 interceptions) carved up the Patriots defense, with Boldin (5-60) and tight end Dennis Pitta (5-55) doing the most damage.
?He?s a great quarterback,? Boldin said. ?I don?t know why people keep doubting him. The bigger the situation, the bigger he plays.?
For Boldin, this will be his second Super Bowl appearance; he played with Arizona in Super Bowl XLIII when the Cardinals lost to Pittsburgh.
?You look at guys who go their whole career and never make it to the Super Bowl,? he said. ?Me, I get another shot. And I?m looking to finish it off this time.?
