Do You Know How Harmful Leading A Sedentary Lifestyle Is?
A sedentary lifestyle is a type of lifestyle with no or irregular physical activity and defined by an excessive amount of daily sitting. A sedentary lifestyle is widely discussed for its health risks in most medical quarters and It is important to note that a sedentary lifestyle is a modifiable risk factor. Living a sedentary lifestyle is like depriving your body of its favorite method of keeping healthy.
In a broad sense, a sedentary lifestyle is where a person does not exercise on a regular basis and is minimally active during the course of a regular day. A sedentary lifestyle is closely related to the current obesity epidemic, which is a major health problem, with increasing incidence in the younger population. A sedentary lifestyle is characterized with a low amount of exercise.The health risks of the sedentary lifestyle are well known but new associations with various diseases are being discovered on a frequent basis.
Health Risks of a Sedentary Lifestyle
What is a Sedentary Lifestyle?
First, you may be wondering what we are referring to when we mention a sedentary lifestyle. A sedentary lifestyle is defined as a type of lifestyle where an individual does not receive regular amounts of physical activity. Where physical inactivity is considered the failure to meet the recommendations of the Center for Disease Control (CDC), stating that an individual should participate in a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate exercise, or 75 minutes of a more vigorous regimen.
Most health professionals are also in agreement that walking 10,000 steps a day (approximately 5 miles) is the ideal goal to set for improving health and reducing the health risks caused by inactivity. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 60 to 85% of the population worldwide does not engage in enough activity. Making physical inactivity the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality.
Traditional thought suggests that having a healthy diet and getting aerobic exercise will offset the effects of time spent being sedentary. Even if you exercise for 30 minutes a day, you may not be able to counteract the effects brought on by a lack of activity throughout the rest of your day.Rather, the solution seems to be less sitting and more moving overall,says Levine. Again, we suggest aiming for 10,000 steps a day. Read more here.
Individuals having a sedentary lifestyle are at greater risk of having cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, pulmonary embolism, diabetes, and obesity.
The Dangers of a Sedentary Lifestyle & How to Overcome It
Wake up. Get ready for work. Sit in the car during traffic for 45 minutes. Arrive at work. Sit at desk, check emails and do some work. Move to conference room and yawn your way through an hour-long meeting. Order lunch from your computer without getting up. Lunch arrives. Eat at your desk while simultaneously browsing the Internet and preparing that memo. Sit for another few hours.
Why a Sedentary Lifestyle Stinks
The human body was designed to move. For thousands of years, that's exactly what humans did. Much of it was for survive. But how does not moving regularly take a toll on our health? The World Health Organization estimates that a lack of physical activity is associated with 3.2 million deaths a year. (3) Let us count the ways.
1. Heart Disease
Sitting for too long means your muscles aren't burning as much fat as they could be and your blood is flowing through your body at a slower pace, giving fatty acids a better chance of clogging your heart — which can lead to. One study published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise found that the more time men spent sitting in cars and watching television, the more likely they were to have some type of cardiovascular disease.
2. Diabetes Risk
When you're not moving, your body isn't using as much blood sugar — and that's not a good thing. A study of more than 80,000 people found each hour they spent watching TV increased their risk of developing diabetes by 3.4 percent. (5) "Netflix and chill" doesn't sound so fun now, does it? See more here.
Engaging in physical activity and avoiding a sedentary lifestyle are both important for maintaining an adequate brain health in older age.
Exercise Does Reverse The Effects Of Sedentary Lifestyle: Stop Sitting All Day And Start Being Active
Breaking out of a sedentary lifestyle is tough for a lot of people. Office workers have to sit all day because of their jobs, but they do have the option to exercise when they get off from work. However, evidence has shown that sitting all day reverses any health benefits of exercise. Is sitting really the new smoking? Or can we defend ourselves against a routine that promotes inactivity by exercising whenever we get a chance? Researchers from the University of Leicester have finished a study that examined if exercise can really be a cure-all for the various dangers of sedentary lifestyle, which can include heart disease, diabetes, and obesity.
Contrary to what recent studies have shown regarding our daily distribution of sitting and exercise, it seems we can do both and stay healthy. "We demonstrate that in comparison to adults who are physically inactive with high sedentary time, those who are physically active have a more desirable health profile across multiple cardiometabolic markers even when combined with high sedentary time," said Dr. Thomas Yates, from the Leicester Diabetes Centre and the University of Leicester, in a statement. "In contrast, low sedentary time in the absence of physical activity is associated with higher HDL-cholesterol levels.
" Yates and his colleagues gathered data using England's 2008 Health Survey. A representative sample of English adults was divided into several categories, including people who met the recommended guidelines for physical activity and a low sedentary lifestyle (busy bees), those who were physically active but had sedentary tendencies (sedentary exercisers), those who did not exercise regularly but did meet standards for a low sedentary lifestyle (light movers), and those who did not meet exercise guidelines and led a sedentary lifestyle (couch potatoes). Read full article here.
Sedentary Lifestyle Can Lead To Harmful Conditions
The health risks associated with a sedentary lifestyle are very well known and a growing problem, inactivity, and sedentary lifestyle are now the focus of extensive research. Effects that reveal sedentary lifestyle are in most cases obesity, heart diseases, and muscle atrophy. Also, people who lead a sedentary lifestyle are exposed to the risk of other ailments such as breast cancer and colon cancer, including osteoporosis (a condition where the bone gets weak and loses strength).
People who live a sedentary lifestyle are also at higher risk for Diabetes, which is when your blood glucose level rises, this can also be described as hyperglycemia. A sedentary lifestyle can contribute to many preventable causes of death. Having a sedentary lifestyle can be dangerous, but there is a way to fit in exercise during your day. It can be assumed then that changing physical activity habits to ensure a no sedentary lifestyle will lead to improved lung function.

Flexible dining options at Jack in the Box® restaurants
SAN DIEGO – Unless you've been trapped on a deserted island throughout the month of December, there's a pretty good chance you've indulged in the delicious delicacies of the holiday season – candy canes, turkey with stuffing, fruitcake and egg nog. But before you make your New Year's resolutions and resign yourself to a bland diet of cottage cheese and carrot sticks, you might want to visit your local Jack in the Box® restaurant to see some of the lighter, but tasty, menu options Jack has to offer.
"Jack in the Box offers a variety of choices for customers seeking a lighter meal," said Michelle Vespa, director of menu marketing and innovation for Jack in the Box. "For example, our Southwest Chicken Pita, stuffed with fajita-style chicken, black beans and roasted corn, has just 260 calories and fewer than five grams of fat, making it a great option for diet-conscious diners."
Vespa also cited the line of entree salads at Jack in the Box as a good choice for nutritious and filling meals. The line includes Asian Chicken, Southwest Chicken and Chicken Club, all featuring a mix of greens topped with chicken and vegetables. Additional toppings – nuts, croutons and dressings, such as low-fat balsamic and lite ranch – are served on the side, so diners can add as much or as little as they like.
"Customization is the key to lighter dining," said Vespa. "Choices enable customers to create a meal that's right for them. If you're concerned about calories, use the dressing sparingly or request a low-fat version. If you're counting carbs, omit the croutons or wonton strips."
At Jack in the Box, guests can also customize their favorite burgers and chicken sandwiches by choosing a reduced-fat herb mayo over regular sauce or by going "bunless," a lower carb option featuring a burger or chicken patty served in a container with a knife and fork.
Jack in the Box Inc. (NYSE: JBX), based in San Diego, is a restaurant company that operates and franchises Jack in the Box restaurants, one of the nation's largest hamburger chains, with more than 2,000 restaurants in 17 states. Through a wholly owned subsidiary, the company also operates and franchises Qdoba Mexican Grill®, an emerging leader in fast-casual dining, with more than 250 restaurants in 37 states.

The Defenders will finally assemble this summer, but is that a good thing?
Iron Fist has at last made its way onto Netflix, completing a two-year, four show, five season journey in the buildup towards The Defenders.
Arriving later this year (and we now know it'll be August 18), the miniseries represents the culmination of the entire Netflix Marvel Universe to date, and is a show that's been in the making since October 2013.
Excitement has been steadily growing in that time, especially once the first season of Daredevil hit and made everyone sit up and take a hell of a lot of notice. Since then there have been breadcrumbs teased towards the team-up in each series, with Rosario Dawson serving as the de facto Nick Fury of the street level version of the Avengers. While we've seen superhero crossovers in the Arrowverse, they're for just a couple of episodes; this is an entire, eight-hour long season, which is a totally different proposition.
Given the success of the shows since, The Defenders is one of the most anticipated series of the year, and yet there are plenty of reasons to be nervous as well. It hasn't all been smooth sailing in this universe, especially with the extremely negative critical response to Iron Fist, which means not everything will necessarily go to plan.
NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far.
A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.

On the Record by K.A. Linde
Angst, angst, angst! I'd waited for this after reading Off the Record and I believe reading this was almost as torturous as the wait. But a good torture. Ms. Linde has a way of making your heart slowly burn and stomach drop so many times, you think you may need a doctor. I had Brady Separation Anxiety. I wanted to kill Liz. This is what makes On the Record such a great read. I felt. Though now I'm feeling impatient for the final installment For the Record. These Brady pov epilogues are killing me!

What a morning!
First the good news… I won a free 24" X 24" Wall Graphic from Large Format Posters on the blog, Your Fun Family. So I am excited and busy thinking about which digital photo to choose for the wall decal. That's a nice diversion…. since after I read that email I got… a disturbing phone call.
The bad news: the father of the friend that Kass stayed overnight with Friday night and most of the day Saturday, he was just diagnosed yesterday with the swine flu. Uggghh. But please don't tell Kass – she is a slight hypochondriac and I don't need her panicking – I am doing enough of that right now. No, I am not really panicking but I do want to stay informed by reading up on the symptoms and ways of prevention via the World Health Organization.
Plus I called her pediatrician's nurse and they don't have the swine vaccine available yet (it's to be here late October). But she simply said to watch for the symptoms. So now we wait… and… see…. and… hope… and…. pray.
Oh and did I tell you this afternoon is our first of the series of orthodontic appointments as we begin the process with spacers and braces. So time for the big payout today as we submit the deposit… of a thousand dollars and set up a payment plan for the rest. It's like we are buying a car!
Swine flu exposure, braces, money…….
So happy Tuesday to me! WOOHOO… but at least I am getting a free wall decal of one of my fave photos…. right?
Find yourself… keeping it real.

Meet the twins who took the Chicago Public School System by storm. Attending Lindblom Math and Science Academy, one of Illinois top ranked High Schools, Tia and Tyra dominated the CPS curriculum to become Co-Valedictorians.
They finished their high school career with straight A's. The most impressive part of accomplishing this feat, was the fact that they each had 12 Advanced Placement Courses. With this impressive transcript, they both earned full academic scholarships to elite US Universities, Duke and Northwestern.
This Fall Tia will be studying Statistics at Duke and Tyra will be studying Economics at Northwestern. They both plan to also study Theater as they both were apart of Steppenwolf Theatre's Young Adult Council and the Goodman Theatre's Bandle Young Critics programs.
This Fall, the twins newest challenge would be in the form of being apart from one another, as to date the longest the two have been apart was 1 full day when Tia went to visit Duke earlier this Spring. Tia and Tyra are excited to embark on this new journey, as they each made the best individual decision for their future.

Overnight at the plane
Day 2: Arrive Delhi
Today you will arrive at Delhi's International Airport. Following customs, immigration formalities and baggage collection, a LUMLE representative will meet you as you exit the arrivals terminal building and transfer you to your hotel.
Perhaps there is no other capital city in the world so steeped in history and legend as the Indian capital Delhi. It was the magnet, which drew the Mongols, Turks, Persians, Afghans, Mughals and the British, all of whom contributed to its glorious but turbulent past. The fascination with Delhi was such that even though it was abandoned many times, its rulers returned to it, again and again, rebuilding it at least seven times. Today, the twin cities of Old and New Delhi still intrigue Indians and tourists alike as the cultural and political capital of the largest democracy in the world.
Overnight at the hotel Crown Plaza, Okhla or similar
Day 3: In Delhi
Early morning you will embark on the combined city tour Delhi. Delhi is divided into two parts New and Old Delhi. First, you will visit the old part of Delhi. You will visit:
Jamia Masjid – One of the oldest Mosques in Asia followed by a rickshaw ride in the old narrow streets of Chandini Chowk, silver streets and spice Markets, then later visit the Red Fort (photo stop only) and the Rajghat – Cremation place of Mahatma Gandhi. Following this, you will take a break at local ethnic restaurants (at own cost). Afterwards, you return to the hotel.
After lunch, you will kick off the second part of your Delhi tour for sightseeing of New Delhi by visiting Rashtrapati Bhawan (President's House) and its well-maintained Mughal Gardens, the Parliament of India and India Gate, a war memorial. Then you'll visit the famous Humuyus Tomb – replica of Taj Mahal made of sandstone and marble. Other highlights of the day include visit to Lotus Temple – belonging to the Bahai Faith. Later visiting the Tallest Minaret called Qutub Minar and return to the hotel.
Overnight at the hotel Crown Plaza, Okhla or similar
Day 4: Delhi – Agra (By Surface)
After breakfast, you begin your journey to Agra (214 Km /5 Hrs).
Upon arrival in Agra, you will check-in at your hotel and a representative will assist you to complete your check-in formalities.
Agra came into the limelight during the rule of the Afghan King Sikandar Lodhi – who had made it the capital of his empire. Later in 1526 A.D., the Mughal Emperor Babar took upon himself the task of rendering Agra, a unique character and beauty of its own. The next few hundred years of Agra witnessed the rise of the pomp and pageantry of three great Mughal monarchs – Emperor Akbar, Jehangir and Shahjahan. In modern times, the city of Agra is a thriving carpet industry where you can also find leather workers, sandstone and marble sculptors, some of whom claim to be direct descendants of the craftsmen who had helped build the Taj Mahal.
Overnight at the hotel Hilton, Agra or similar
Day 5: In Agra
Visit the Taj Mahal at Sunrise (Depending on the weather), monument remains closed on all Fridays. Taj Mahal was built by an emperor in memory of his beloved queen. Construction of the Taj Mahal began in 1631 and is believed to have taken 18 years to complete, with over 20,000 craftsmen working around the clock. The design and construction is said to be that of the legendary architect, Ustad Ahamad Lahori. What makes the Taj Mahal unique is its perfect proportions, distinct femininity, the medium of construction and ornamentation. Its marble exterior reflects rose and golden tints at sunrise and sunset, while it is dazzling white during the day. It is impossible to visualize the Taj Mahal in any surrounding others than its paradoxical garden. Paradise, in Islam, is visualized as a lush garden where running streams flow.
Come back to the hotel and enjoy your breakfast.
Later visit the impressive Agra Fort, the seat and stronghold of the Mughal Empire for successive generations. The buildings within this sprawling fort complex represent the assimilation of different cultures, which was the mark of the Mughal period. Most of the structures within the Agra Fort are a mixture of different architectural styles.
Overnight at the hotel Hilton, Agra or similar
Day 6: Agra – Fatehpur Sikri – Jaipur (By Surface)
Today after breakfast, you will drive to Jaipur (approx. 235 kms / 5 hours) en-route visiting Fatehpur Sikri – the deserted red sandstone city that was built by Emperor Akbar as his capital. Ponder the mysterious desertion of this capital city that was dramatically abandoned a few years after it was built. It was a veritable fairytale city and its 'ruins' are still in a pristine condition. It is not hard to imagine what the court life must have been like in the days of its grandeur.
After the visit, continue your drive towards, Jaipur.
Jaipur – the capital of Rajasthan province is known for its arts and crafts, jewellery, hand-painted fabrics and stone sculptures; it is one of North India's finest examples of a planned city embodying the best of Rajput and Mughal architecture.
Upon arrival in Jaipur, you will be met & assisted by LUMLE representative for your check-in at the hotel.
The evening is at your leisure.
Overnight at the hotel Hilton, Jaipur or similar
Day 7: In Jaipur
After breakfast, visit Amber Fort. High above the city, the towers and domes of the Amber Fort are reminiscent of scenes from some fairy tale. The palace itself is within the enormous fort complex and is replete with halls, gardens, pavilions, and temples. The Hall of Mirrors is not to be missed where one lit matchstick can illuminate the entire room.
Later proceed to visit the City Palace Museum where you can see an imposing blend of traditional Rajasthani and Mughal Art. The museum is resplendent with its collection of robes of royal princes, carpets, an armoury of old weapons, miniature paintings portraying court scenes, battle scenes and processions, Also visit the awe inspiring Jantar Mantar (an accurate observatory built in 1726 AD).
Your tour also included is a photo visit at the Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds) – a five storied wonder with a spectacular pyramidal facade and overhanging windows with latticed screens, domes and spires.
Later walk through the colourful markets of Jaipur.
Overnight at the hotel Hilton, Jaipur or similar
Day 8: Jaipur – Pushkar (By Surface)
After Breakfast, you will be driven to Pushkar (330 Kms/5 Hrs). Upon arrival, proceed for check-in at your hotel.
The village of Pushkar lies on the edge of the desert. At its heart is one of India's most sacred lakes. There are 52 ghats around the lake, and numerous temples. The Brahma temple, especially, attracts pilgrims all year round. Apart from its religious significance, Pushkar is known for its Cattle and Camel fair held every year in the month of Kartik (October/November). You can also witness the evening prayer meetings in the temples. Being a religious town, alcohol and non-vegetarian food is taboo. In the afternoon go for the city tour of Pushkar.

In recent days, I rouged out both the mast step and the decks. The bottom layer of the mast step is 3/4" No. 2 Pine and was set in epoxy on the bottom, using six No. 12 x 1 wood screws, countersunk extra deep. The upper part, laminated from two ¾" boards glued with Tite-Bond III, has been fashioned and will be glued-n-screwed in place when the mast is ready.
My hole saws do not extend to the 2-1/2" diameter required to accommodate the mast, so I traced the radius and used a sabre saw to cut slots from the board's edge to the line, then snapped or cut each resulting tab off. I slanted the hole to accommodate the angle of the bottom. This left a very rough surface, which I was able to sand out with 60-grit paper wrapped around a caulk cartridge.
I've also set some paint on the boat. The forward and aft holds are painted and it feels good to see some finished surfaces. In this case, I pretreated the wood with varnish cut 10% with mineral spirits. I sanded this lightly before applying oil-based primer, then sanded again before applying Rustoleum oil-based Topside Marine Paint. Nice stuff, not expensive. The interior and topsides are a creamy white. The hull exterior will be navy blue.

For several months now, Ukraine has been battered by internal conflict. You can read more about the events here that led to a ceasefire. Called the Minsk peace deal, it was signed in February this year.
A key issue of the agreement was to settle how the eastern war-torn regions of Donetsk and Luhansk would be governed. As the Ukrainian parliament met in the capital city of Kiev to debate the issue, protestors began to gather outside the building.
As soon as the members of Parliament approved a draft bill proposing greater autonomy (freedom) in the war-torn regions, pro-Ukraine nationalists clashed with the police.
The Controversy
Both Donetsk and Luhansk, which are largely rebel-controlled, have declared themselves Republics, independent of Ukraine. As per reports, the rebels have set up their own government and armies.
Even as Kiev cut all government expenditure in these areas, the rebel governments have introduced their own taxes, public wages, and pensions. They favor the Russian rouble, and trade has become focused on Russia. These are strong indications that the self-declared republics are gradually liberating themselves from Ukraine and shifting loyalties to the Russian Federation.
The republics have not been recognized by Kiev or by Western leaders. The Ukrainian government is still attempting to grant a certain measure of autonomy to the regions, which is far lesser than the independence that is already being claimed by the rebels. Ukrainian President Poroshenko is also seeking to reduce the losses being suffered by the national army.
However, polls show that Ukrainians resent any special status being granted to the regions. Those against Russia hold President Putin responsible for the civil war and the ensuing damage to Ukraine. They believe that recognizing the separatists would threaten Ukraine's sovereignty.
The Kiev Conflict
On 31st August, the parliament session saw intense debates. Of the 450 members, 265 favored a draft bill containing reforms for local governments in rebel-held areas. This draft will be revised and re-read in parliament before changes can be made to the Constitution.
However, the draft itself offended Ukrainian nationalists. Several protestors including members from the Radical party and Svoboda party clashed with police forces outside the parliament building. Shields and helmets worn by Ukranian police were seized and used against the police officers. Soon after, masked protestors threw grenades into the police lines, killing some and injuring many others.
It is still unclear if the reforms will be pushed any further by President Poroshenko. Latest reports from the battlefront indicate that there has been a drop in the intensity of fighting between both sides. With the economic sanctions against Russia and a drop in oil prices, the war is becoming expensive for Russia to support.
It remains to be seen if this ceasefire will last, or is it merely a temporary halt to stock up more supplies for the future.

I have been in this situation. My partner is a swinger of many years experience. I am not – I have always been monogamous. He kept telling me that all women are bisexual and that I should try sex with a woman. Well to please him I did and I did not enjoy it one little bit and so I said not again. He still keeps being insistent that I should 'go with a woman' cos it 'turns him on'. He also wants me to be with other men which, quite frankly, bores me to tears as I have to 'play act' I am enjoying it. He tells me I am excellent in bed so I cannot understand why he would want to see me with others. So I can very much see where Payton is coming from and how much it hurts when your partner wants to fulfil their fantasy at the expense of your own.

Our fellow primates are in trouble. In a study of unprecedented scope, a team of 31 primatologists has analyzed every known species of primate to judge how they are faring. The news for man's closest animal relatives is not good. Three-quarters of primate species are in decline, the researchers found, and about 60 percent are now threatened with extinction.
From gorillas to gibbons, primates are in significantly worse shape now than in recent decades because of the devastation from agriculture, hunting and mining. "I think we're going to get quite a number of extinctions within next 50 years if things go on the way they are," said Anthony B. Rylands, a senior research scientist at Conservation International and a co-author of the new study, which was published in Science Advances. READ MORE

Thoracic and Cardiac Surgery
Dr. Answini is a minimally invasive cardiothoracic surgeon and one of very few cardiac surgeons in the Greater Cincinnati area who performs robotic surgery.Born and raised in Allentown, Pennsylvania, he graduated from medical school at Temple University in Philadelphia after completing his undergraduate at Auburn University. He continued his training at Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, North Carolina, for his residency in general surgery, followed by a two-year fellowship in cardiothoracic surgery and robotic surgery at St. Louis University. He joined Ohio Heart and Vascular Center in July of 2003.Dr. Answini's father was a professor of anatomy and physiology at Cookstown; a small university in Pennsylvania. He tutored and advised students who were preparing to apply for medical school. "After I was exposed to this during my high school and college years, I got hooked. It was a job that seemed very dynamic. Things were constantly changing and they still are. You're always on the cutting edge of these really neat technologies which are coming down the pipeline."He also attributes some of his fascination with the heart and how it works to the fact that he was athlete in college. In fact, he was an All-American swimmer at Auburn University, while also graduating magna cum laude in biology and chemistry.In his subsequent residency, cardiac surgery was the field that most interested him. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, minimally invasive procedures were still at the infancy stages. "I felt it was a great area for me-offering patients treatment options that were not done in a high frequency at that time."Robotic surgeries enable patients to have a much quicker recovery. "It's a skill I can bring to the table to help people. In the field that I'm in, the patients are often in dire straits. Having the ability to improve their condition is incredibly rewarding. At the end of the day, it's just a good feeling to know that you've helped someone's mom or father or grandmother or grandfather."Away from the hospital, Dr. Answini's private life revolves around family and church. He and his wife, Vanessa, who is an investment banker, are from the same Pennsylvania hometown, but didn't meet until he was a student at Temple. They have four children, a set of twins and another boy and girl to match. The Answinis are very active in all the church programs, and both teach Sunday school. For Dr. Answini, his life, both professionally and personally, is grounded in his spirituality. "I believe that when God created me, He gave me a purpose in life. Every day I'm driven to try to do the best job that I can for Him and in appreciation for what He's done for me and the good health of my family."

Miguel Zenón and The Rhythm Collective Release "OYE!!! Live in Puerto Rico" on May 28, 2013 | WATCH TEASER VIDEO!

DUOS with LUIS PERDOMO & PAOLI MEJIAS (June 2)
Zenón Celebrates 10 YEARS with His Longstanding Quartet
In His VILLAGE VANGUARD DEBUT AS A LEADER – MAY 14-19
with Luis Perdomo, Hans Glawischnig & Henry Cole
The life of a jazz musician is often about fusing life experiences, creative coalitions, new ideas about rhythm, content, flow and innovative musical languages. Saxophonist Miguel Zenón has long been occupied with finding common musical threads in the North American jazz tradition and the music of the African diaspora in the Caribbean and Latin America, and his newest project, Oye!!! Live in Puerto Rico, is his latest triumph in this quest.
Taking a break from recording with his usual quartet, Zenón's own Miel Music is releasing a live recording with The Rhythm Collective, a group that first came together in 2003 to participate in the Jazz Ambassadors Program, sponsored at the time by the US State Department and The Kennedy Center.
"We made that trip about ten years ago and got the opportunity to tour several countries in West Africa for about a month and a half," said Zenón. "All the music on this album was either developed during that trip or inspired by the experience." The Rhythm Collective is comprised of Tony Escapa on drums, Aldemar Valentín on bass, and Reinaldo de Jesús on percussion; all of them native Puerto Ricans and some of the most coveted musicians in their respective fields. Recorded in 2011 at Taller Cé, a short-lived performance space in San Juan, the album is a riveting, dynamic shift from much of Zenón's previous work.
"I've always enjoyed the sound of the chord-less jazz trio, but I wanted to do something different with it and incorporate Caribbean and Puerto Rican music," said Zenón. "The idea for this band was to focus more on the rhythmic aspects of the music. There are no chordal instruments used, in other words no pianos or guitars stating the harmony. This makes the music a bit more open harmonically, giving more importance to single melodic lines. But at the end of the day, the drums and the percussion are what drive these tunes."
The palpable energy that emerges from the recording represents Zenón's quest to bring greater jazz awareness to Puerto Rico. After winning the MacArthur Foundation Fellowship (also known as the "genius grant") in 2008, Zenón has sponsored a series of concerts, which he calls Caravana Cultural (or Cultural Caravan) in small rural towns around the island designed to educate audiences about the music of jazz greats such as John Coltrane and Thelonious Monk. The stated goals of Caravana Cultural can be read on Zenón's website (along with recent concert lineups and videos of past performances throughout Puerto Rico). Although the Rhythm Collective concerts were not part of that series, the shows captured here at Taller Cé were recorded in part with funding from the MacArthur Fellowship.
Rather than the hard-driving intensity of Zenón's work with his regular quartet, the Rhythm Collective is sparer in approach, more about creating an atmospheric space where rhythmic pulses created by different members of the group could connect.
The album begins with two unorthodox covers—Tito Puente's cha-cha-cha "Oye Como Va," which was in turn remade into a Latin rock classic by Carlos Santana, and Cuban trovador Silvio Rodríguez's "El Necio."
Kicked off by a string of soulful Zenón riffs, the opening track's rhythmic structure is derived from changüí, an Afro-Cuban song form that preceded the son, laden with African influence from that island's Oriente province. "The rhythmic accents fall right before the beat instead of on the beat," said Zenón. "The idea was to go back and forth between the changüí feel and the original feel, creating an illusion of where the beat actually is (before the beat) and where it sounds like it is (on the beat)."
"El Necio," a song originally recorded by Rodríguez with just a guitar accompaniment, serves as a perfect vehicle for Zenón and company. "Silvio is one of my favorite musicians," said Zenón. "We wanted to make it a tour de force, shifting between an Afro feel and a swing feel. We stayed true to the original melody and improvised on the form using a more modal approach."
The effect is similar to Pat Metheny's debut recording Bright Sized Life, with Zenón's sax substituting for the guitar. By allowing bassist Valentín to riff in a way that transforms the electric bass into a melodic instrument, the ensemble makes its own statement on the original song's idealism and self-reflection.
"Hypnotized" was inspired by a Paul Motian Trio performance that Zenón had attended some years back—he literally felt hypnotized by the drummer's strategic use of repetition in his compositions. "JOS Nigeria," named after a city in the Nigerian plateau, is a tune with strong intimations of Fela-style Afrobeat and an attempt by the Collective to capture the good times and infectious energy they experienced while traveling in West Africa.
Finally, "Double Edge," is another ambitious fusion of abstract rhythmic ideas with the ground-level praxis of Afro-Caribbean song form. "We play around with the idea of putting various short rhythmic patterns within a larger phrase and creating a flow within that," said Zenón. "It's a complex pattern that falls in odd places in terms of accents, eventually followed by a bridge that breaks into a more continuous feel. In this case the bridge connects all the different elements within the composition, leading into a transition that brings us back to the original drone."
In the end, Oye!!! Live in Puerto Rico fulfills the listener's desire for a new spin on a familiar rhythmic tradition, from a loftier, improvisational perspective. As a live performance, the recording contains the energy created by the interaction with the audience, raised on Afro-Caribbean dance music, but yearning to break free to a new space.
"In this band we all happen to be Puerto Rican and grew up around this kind of music," said Zenón. "Even though what we're doing here is centered around a rhythm thing, the experimental part was second nature to us. We are all already interested in fusions between material that could be considered edgy, so it was fairly easy for us to push things a little bit; just to see how far we could take the combination of all these elements while still feeling comfortable within our individual musical personalities."
So on this experimental stage, in the heart of the Caribbean, Zenón and his comrades find old grooves lead to newer directions. Latin standards yield different kinds of musical memories, ancient dances become drone-y meditations, but the converging lines of rhythm keep pushing straight ahead.
¡Oye! It's time to listen.

National passenger operator NS announced on July 11 that it had begun seeking a new owner for its Qbuzz business, which operates the sneltram light rail network in Utrecht as well as local bus services in Utrecht, Groningen/Drenthe and Friesland. ING has been appointed to advise on what NS said would be a 'thorough and transparent sales process in the interests of all concerned'.
One of the largest regional transport companies in the Netherlands, Qbuzz carries around 210 000 passengers/day on a fleet of 26 trams and 677 buses. It has 1 850 employees and recorded turnover of €208m in 2015.
In February 2015 the province of Limburg had selected Qbuzz subsidiary Abellio Limburg as preferred bidder for a 15-year contract to operate local rail and bus services. However, NS then discovered that a former employee of incumbent Veolia had been recruited through an intermediary and had been providing confidential information. As a result, the operating contract was instead awarded to second-ranked bidder Arriva, leading to the resignations of the CEOs of both NS and Abellio Holding.
Following a review of its activities, on March 1 2016 NS announced that it would in future focus on the designated core rail network. As well as putting Qbuzz up for sale, NS would not bid for future regional operating contracts, enabling it to work with local authorities and regional operators as partners rather than competitors.
The sale will not include NS activities under the Abellio brand, which are now focused on Germany and the UK.
