Description Spike Diet: A Lifestyle Guide to Indulgent Eating and Burning Fat Brio Press Russell Branjord 2009 English ISBN: 0615328768 146 pages 7.99 MB After years of weighing over 300 pounds, Russell Branjord concluded that, despite his best efforts, eating less and exercising more was not the answer to his weight problem. Now a fitness instructor, he has created the Spike Diet to allow dieters to enjoy the food they love while still eating healthy. By indulging in an ice cream treat or a slice of pizza for one day (the Spike Day) out of the week, dieters learn to reward themselves with the foods they want most, instead of seeing them as everyday fare. Branjord includes recipes that will make eating well taste like every day is a Spike Day.  The Secret War Between Downloading and Uploading The M IT Pr ess PETER LUNENFELD 2011 ENGLISH ISBN: 0262015471 239 pages 1.18 MB As we hurtle into the twenty-first century, will we be passive downloaders of content or active uploaders of meaning? The computer, writes Peter Lunenfeld, is the twenty-first century's culture machine. It is a dream device, serving as the mode of production, the means of distribution, and the site of reception. We haven't quite achieved the flying cars and robot butlers of futurist fantasies, but we do have a machine that can function as a typewriter and a printing press, a paintbrush and a gallery, a piano and a radio, the mail as well as the mail carier. But, warns Lunenfeld, we should temper our celebration with caution; we are engaged in a secret war between downloading and uploading--between passive consumption and active creation--and the outcome will shape our collective futures.In The Secret War Between Downloading and Uploading, Lunenfeld makes his case for using digital technologies to shift us from a consumption to a production model. He describes television as the "the high fructose corn syrup of the imagination" and worries that it can cause "cultural diabetes"; prescribes mindful downloading, meaningful uploading, and "info-triage" as cures; and offers tips for crafting "bespoke futures" in what he terms the era of "Web n.0" (interconnectivity to the nth power). He also offers a stand-alone genealogy of digital visionaries, distilling a history of the culture machine that runs from the Patriarchs (Vannevar Bush's WWII generation) to the Hustlers (Bill Gates and Steve Jobs) to the Searchers (Larry Page and Sergey Brin of Google fame). After half a century of television-conditioned consumption/downloading, Lunenfeld tells us, we now find ourselves with a vast new infrastructure for uploading. We simply need to find the will to make the best of it.
