Dr Azhar Potia is a behavioural, experimental and applied economist with a keen interest in addressing issues of societal disadvantage and inequality. He especially seeks opportunities to explore real-world problems in the field of education and matters relating to Australia's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population. Azhar has a strong understanding of, and experience in using, empirical research methods to evaluate programs and administrative data. He has developed an extensive aptitude for designing and implementing experimental studies in field and lab settings alike, as well as using sound econometric analysis techniques to evaluate the outcomes of such experiments. Azhar completed his PhD from the Queensland University of Technology in 2019, and his research was aimed at assessing the framing effects of different incentive structures and student commitments on educational outcomes of Indigenous Australian high school students.
Prior to his PhD work, Azhar spent an extended period living and working in remote Indigenous communities on Queensland's Cape York where he designed and implemented financial literacy programs for the benefit of socially-disadvantaged residents. This experience was a key driving factor in his decision to study and address real world issues. Azhar is particularly passionate about bridging the gap between academic research and industry. For a social organisation working on matters affecting disadvantaged people in the real world, incorporating a strategic research component into their work is crucial in his eyes and he strives to develop such collaborative links and networks.

All students are issued with a resident student handbook and are given a full induction lesson highlighting student welfare, campus safety and British laws.
Below we have outlined some of the key information that will affect your stay.
On arrival
All students under the age of 18 are met by a member of staff – who will be wearing a bright green branded t-shirts and carrying a clearly displayed clipboard. They will ensure everything goes smoothly at the airport and during the transfer to their centre. At this point students are given an ID card with 24 hour emergency contact information – for their safety and so that they can be immediately identified and they should keep this with them at all times.
Medical & insurance
In Britain, free medical treatment is available through the National Health Service to all EU students and students from countries with reciprocal health agreements. Students who are not covered by the National Health Service are advised to take out medical insurance before leaving their home countries. We strongly advise students to take out individual personal insurance to cover personal belongings, flight delays etc.
Individual students
We accept individual students and pay particular attention to their welfare during their stay. Individual students are assigned to the care of a Welfare Manager or Individuals Coordinator who will be responsible for their care.
Risk assessment

Supervision policy
We define juniors as anyone under the age of 18 who are part of a residential centre. The Department for Education and Science advises the following supervision ratio of adults to students for ages 8 to 10 as 1:10-15 and for 11+ as 1:15-20.

State bank regulators shut down Pine City-based Horizon Bank late Friday after soaring real estate losses left the small-town bank too crippled to operate.
Horizon became the second bank to fail in Minnesota since the advent of the real estate crisis and the first to be shuttered by order of state officials since the 1980s. In May 2008, the FDIC shut down First Integrity Bank in Staples after it was hobbled in part by failed real estate investments in Florida.
Nationally, 43 banks have failed so far this year as banks battle sliding property values and rising delinquency rates on commercial mortgages and construction loans made during the housing boom.
Stearns Bank of St. Cloud bought most of Horizon's deposits and assets for an undisclosed sum and is immediately reopening Horizon's locations in Pine City and North Branch today under the Stearns Bank name.
"We want to get the word out that their money is safe," said Janet Kincaid, an FDIC ombudsman who was at the bank Friday evening.
With assets of just $87.6 million, Horizon was one of Minnesota's smaller community banks. But its fate has been the talk of Pine City (population 3,103) where nearly everyone, it seems, has had some dealing with the bank.
"There's a lot of toxic assets," said Norm Skalicky, CEO and major owner of Stearns Bank, who was in Pine City on Friday. "Everybody was on kind of a spending spree. That has to get flushed out, I guess."
Horizon employees didn't know about the takeover until a team of Commerce Department and FDIC workers arrived about 6 p.m.
Shortly before 7 p.m., two contractors showed up to cover up the green Horizon Bank sign in front of the company's headquarters with a white plastic tarp that said Stearns Bank. About 9 p.m. they began dismantling the Horizon sign with flat bars. The parking lot was packed with new rental vehicles driven by more than 50 FDIC staff members who could be seen inside the bank rifling through stacks of documents with cans of Coke nearby and chicken dinners on paper plates.
Nearby motorists slowed to gawk at the traffic in and out of the building.
"It will be a late night for everybody," Skalicky said.
Horizon is owned by Leonard J. Ouradnik, 75, of Montgomery, a town near Faribault. He could not be reached for comment. Horizon's current acting president, Tom Palmer, also couldn't be contacted.
The FDIC has agreed to pick up most of the future potential losses on $65.1 million, or about 80 percent, of Horizon's $87.6 million in assets. That insulates Stearns Bank from the problems that caused Horizon to fail, said FDIC spokesman David Barr.
Stearns paid $520,500 for Horizon's deposits of $69.4 million and an undisclosed sum for the bank's assets. Stearns Bank has just over $1 billion in assets and eight branches.
Horizon's closure and sale will cost the FDIC $33.5 million.
Neither Barr nor the Department of Commerce would discuss Horizon's problems, but the bank had a significant concentration of loans backed by real estate. Nonperforming commercial real estate loans stood at $3.3 million at the end of the first quarter, equal to about 4 percent of its assets and three times its Tier 1 capital, according to an analysis by Foresight Analytics in Oakland, Calif. Tier 1 capital is a key measure of a bank's ability to absorb losses.

Doggone cute
I have had more comments about this picture that any other I can remember in a long time. It seems people find this picture adorable, irresistible and cute.
It is hard telling who was more scared, the pit bull or me. The man who rescued the dog and the puppies warned me the pit bull was very protective and to keep my distance. You don't have to tell me twice. I took the picture with a telephoto lens and always had my escape route to the door in sight.
I am amazed from the editor of the paper down to readers in the street find the picture amazing and ask what special technique I used to create the puppy portrait. It's a mystery to me why it has such appeal, I am thankful I just didn't wind up a chew toy.
3 comments:
Two items in last Thursday's Press were a "feel good". Saturated with politicians, civic issues, and raking leaves, reading about Ramish Birla saving Nina and her pups along with Emilio's adventure with his caring pals reassured me of the best of man..... "would have made a great Frank Capra Christmas film."

A pitbull! Good gravy, batman! A long-range lens would have had to be 4 states away for me to venture a pic of this Bad Girl mama.
Otherwise cordial animals can get testy after birth. Our black lab, Yukon, snapped at our good neighbor as Dewey approached her 13 puppies. But then again, with 13 pups nippin' at her nips, I guess she deserved to be cranky! care of SD

i think this picture shows true feelings about pitbulls they get labeled with a bad name but really all dogs are the same you have to watch them all no animal shud be trusted i mean rabbits can bite ,people forget that animals have feelings aswell and i know i might sound weird but a dog only knows what you teach them there just like children you have to be the boss they need love aswell they just cant tell you whats wrong but they do have feelings.

What Now? Welcome back to part two of What Now? A series that we are dedicating to be informative and fun. Each week we'll present you with a step-by-step about the processes of talent and agent.
Last week on 'What Now' we went over the initial steps of applying to an agency. This included tips for the pictures to submit and where to submit (click this link here to access our application page). If you happened to have missed last week's article, you can catch up HERE.
You've been invited to an evaluation, What Now?
So, you've submitted your photos, ( which are clear, free of props, and present your as your most natural self) and you've been lucky enough to get a call back from an agent. They are interested! That's amazing, huge hurdle for some, but you've gotten through it! Not so bad, right? Congratulations!
Second thing you need to know is that the evaluation is like an interview. This is not the time to be "on". Be yourself! Honesty and clear communication with your agent makes for the best and easiest relationship.
When you first meet with an agent there are a few specific things that they are looking for, mainly, the agent will want to get to know you, your personality and your disposition.
Just like your submitted photos, you'll want to come to an evaluation as natural as possible. It is advisable that you when you come to an evaluation with an agent that you avoid heavy makeup, coloured contacts, and loose or baggy clothing. We want to see you in all your natural glory with out distractions.
This is a chance for your potential agent to get to know you. Our agents at MAX have been representing talent for many years, and the top comment or request about our talent is they are is a amiable, presentable and ambitious. Not only will you get along with your agent famously, but with a great attitude, you'll also have a greater impact on casting directors and potential clients.
If the agent chooses to take you on, and you choose to be represented by the agent and subsequent company, you'll learn and have explained and roles and responsibilities an agent and yourself have going forward.
What Now?
You rocked your evaluation! the next step will be coming back for an orientation! Tune in next week when we'll go over what happens in the second meeting with your agent!
Want to inquire about talent for upcoming projects? Email: email@example.com
Follow us, share and like more content we put out daily on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter! Never miss a moment with MAX Agency!

Sometimes, slow PC performance is attributable to malware. Other times, it's due to more mundane reasons like a slow hard disk drive (HDD) or solid-state drive (SSD). To avoid the latter issue, schedule defragmentation if your PC uses a HDD (the operating system will know this automatically). For SSDs, the equivalent maintenance operation is called […]
Many PCs come preinstalled with a lot of software that you will probably never use. This bloatware does more than just consume valuable disk space – it can also make your computer noticeably slower. Removing it isn't always possible through conventional measures like dragging the icon to the trash/recycle bin, so you may need to […]
Here's what to look for when deciding whether your PC needs a tune-up.
PCs with spinning hard drives will take longer to start up and access files and applications if they are fragmented. Luckily, you can use either the built-in defragmentation tools in the operating system, or a more comprehensive PC tune-up solution, to organize data into fewer contiguous regions.

A Chinese woman who immigrated to Taiwan through marriage earlier this week got into a dispute with a clerk at a convenience store in Kaohsiung City after saying that Taiwan is part of China.
The two-hour dispute occurred after the woman faxed a document to Xiamen, Fujian Province, and insisted that because Taiwan is part of China, she was only willing to pay the "domestic rate" for the service.
The woman said that since primary school her teachers and textbooks had taught her that Taiwan is a province of China and did not know why the store owner, surnamed Yen (顏), would not "admit" that Taiwan is part of China.
Rather than paying NT$85 per page for international faxing, the woman said she would pay the store NT$20 for domestic faxing, which the store owner refused, saying that yielding to the woman's demand would be an affront to the nation's dignity.
This amused me, although it will probably never be clear if that woman was motivated by Chinese patriotism or a simple desire to save NT$65 (about two US dollars).
I like how she "didn't know why" Mr. Yen would not "admit" Taiwan is part of China. As if, prior to walking into that convenience store, she had no idea that Taiwanese people were not proud citizens of the People's Republic of China.

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
The latest Bay Area film festival to prove it has legs is Oakland's Hip-Hop Film Festival, kicking into serious high gear for its second year. "This year we wanted the entire community to be involved," says Bushmama, whose Bushmama Productions is promoting and producing the events, "so I reached out to other organizations that represent the hip-hop community in a positive way." The results of that outreach can be seen in the live performances happening on the opening and closing nights of the three-day festival. Monday night features the DestinyArts/D.R.E.A.M. dance troupe and hip-hop MC and poet Ise Lyfe. "He was one of the first performers I ever booked since I've been producing the show, and now more than three years later I get the opportunity to showcase him during the most important event I've ever produced," she says.
There were so many good submissions this year, Bushmama says, that she'll be showing some of the ones that didn't make it at smaller screenings later. Of the ones that did make the cut, the organizer is most excited about Soundz of Spirit -- an examination of the creative processes of hip-hop artists -- because Oakland filmmaker Joslyn Rose-Lyons was the only woman who submitted work to the fest. Another selection of note is Tuesday's screening of Bang! Bang! In da Manor , a documentary about violence in Britain's black community. Sean Mendez' highly graphic film is having its US premiere at the festival. Also showing Tuesday is a collection of films by participants in Digital Underground Storytelling for Youth (DUSTY), a program providing West Oakland youth with after-school and summer filmmaking instruction. The fest winds up Wednesday with the feature-length doc Move On! The Story of the Africa Family, a reception for the filmmaker, a performance by Delinquent Monastery, and two other films. All three nights will be hosted by singer Noñameko.
All events start at 7 p.m. and take place at the Oakland Box, 1928 Telegraph Ave. Call 510-451-1932 or visit OaklandBox.com for a complete schedule and prices.

Young girl holding puppy standing at her left. Dog on rear legs with front paws perched on girl's left arm. Black and white.
Currier & Ives provided "cheap and popular" pictures in the form of lithographs that appealed to the American public and their thirst for visual information. The country was changing at an unprecedented rate and sentimental images provided a sense of security to the American people. Many Currier & Ives prints were hand-colored by artists who worked for the firm. Occasionally prints were left uncolored as in Don't Hurt My Baby. This image depicts a young girl protecting her treasured puppy from a larger dog.

We never know what turn our life will take. We may plan and work for goals only to find them attacked by the very one we thought was our most treasured ally.
After living a dream life for forty years I learned nearly half had been a charade. In his own words, "I'm a chameleon. I put on the face I need for whoever I'm standing in front of."...then followed over a decade of fear, blame, and readjustment.
Growing up in a Leave-It-To-Beaver-kind of family I married a childhood friend. At the age of forty with a 3 & 6 year old he demanded a divorce. Thus ended the 40-year dream. We patched the marriage, he continued the secret affairs, and then we divorced.
I found myself nearing fifty, a single mom with two teenagers to support, savings depleted, and out of the work force for nearly twenty years. There were no alphabets after my name to market my re-entry to corporate America. There was an incredibly, unnecessarily expensive and litigious divorce. Instant on the job training.
This divorce included 2 county courts, 6 judges, 6 attorneys, 6 years in litigation, 5 mediators, 2 psychologists, unknown number of private investigators and sorts, several sheriffs, 1 year of probation for him, and for me, over $70K and 3 years living anonymously.
Today I own a website which provides information and help to those overwhelmed by divorce. I consult privately and hold small seminars by invitation.
What do I tell my clients? How to divorce wisely. There are three players in a divorce: the two spouses and the law. We only control one--ourselves. We may discuss the limitations of a restraining order and how to live privately and safely. How courts really view the children in a divorce. What to say...or not...to everyone about your divorce. How to help your children heal. What to expect from your attorney and what they'll expect from you. Wording in custody that will make life better for your children.
My dream life? The dream became reality. I remarried after five years and for the first time enjoy the genuine love I grew up knowing...not a the façade of a chameleon's.

His father, Mir Ghous Baksh Bizenjo, was a Nationalist leader known for his peaceful struggle to attain Baloch people's rights within the framework of Pakistan. Hailing from backward Nal Valley of Khuzdar, central Balochistan, Hasil started his political career from Pakistan National Party (PNP) – then headed by his brother Mir Bizen Bizenjo – and was elected MNA in the 1990 elections from his home constituency. Hasil was once again elected from the same constituency as MNA in 1997 polls; this time on the ticket of Sardar Attaullah Mengal-led Balochistan National Party. However, he later joined one of the BNP splinter groups, Balochistan National Democratic Party. The party had boycotted the general elections of 2008 in protest against the Balochistan situation. Yet, in 2009, he was elected as a senator – which reflects his stature as a respected Nationalist politician.

Views on Victory of PPP
Following the victory of Sadiq Sanjrani as the Senate chairman on Monday, National Party (NP) chief Mir Hasil Khan Bizenjo said the victory of Pakistan People's Party (PPP) led alliance proved that some forces are "more supreme" than parliament. Despite having a majority in the upper house, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz ( PML-N) failed to secure either of the top slots due to alleged political engineering by the PPP co-chairman, Asif Ali Zardari. Addressing the house following the election of the chairman and deputy chairman, the NP leader lambasted the PPP, saying: "It is not the party of Benazir Bhutto or Zulfikar Ali Bhutto that won today." "The parliament has been completely defeated. Those supreme forces have won and have shown that they can make the Parliament a market," he said, adding: "Today I am ashamed to sit here."

Today marks 30 years since we saw the now iconic images coming out of Beijing, China as the protests in Tiananmen Square occurred. None is more memorable than this picture.
There won't be a celebration or remembrance of this event in China today, but that's the way is is many times with taking a stand. Those on the receiving end of having one stand up to them want to keep it on the down-low, or sweep it under the rug. But, what is important is that those things worth standing up for, they will be seen and remembered by those who truly matter.
I was listening to the song, "Prize Worth Fighting For" by Jamie Kimmett. Seems so appropriate on this anniversary day of what it is worth standing up for:
"Your love is my reward
Your love is my reward
And every choice is an act of war
Gotta pray, gotta press on
To the prize worth fighting for
When it feels like I'll never make it
When my heart's crying out for more
Gotta pray, gotta press on
To the prize worth fighting for"

Every Kenyan now needs to have a filming license to post a video for public viewing. This is what a new law that took effect yesterday in Kenya demands. The law is applied not only to movies and television broadcasts but also to all videos including those posted on the internet and social media (the source of many people's outrage).
Failure to comply with this law will land the perpetrator a maximum prison sentence of five years or a maximum fine of KSh 100,000 ($1,000).
Kenya's film regulatory body, Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB), said;
This regulation applies to all movies shot for the purpose of publishing on the internet and social media," and "Movie taken for the general public
KFCB stated that the purpose of the law was a way to ensure that national security is not compromised through illegal filming activities and to provide the government with much-needed revenue.
As the government body implied that "public viewing" included posting on social media, it is effectively a de facto ban on uploading videos on social media without a license. Here is a tweet by KFCB replying a user about posting videos on social media;
It is interesting that the law was drafted with a seeming intent of discouraging filmmakers from making films and ordinary people from utilizing social media platforms. Sometimes it's not what the law specifically says that matters; it's the law's effect. Kenya is popularly known for leading Africa's innovation drive but when it introduces laws like these it only serves to stifle innovation in the affected industries.
Still, I think it is technically impossible for KFCB to enforce this law to everyone because I doubt if Kenya has the technological capability to monitor millions of Kenyan internet users.

Some statistics are just too mind-blowingly incomprehensible to digest. Luckily there is an artist who tries to translate incomprehensible data into comprehensible works of art. His name is Chris Jordan. Chris visualizes statistics in his series "Running the Numbers: An American Self-Portrait". For example, he visualizes the consumption of plastic bottles in the United States every minute by using 400,000 plastic bottle caps in his artwork called Caps Seurat. And he shows us 2.3 million folded prison uniforms, equal to the number of Americans incarcerated in 2005.
Chris isn't pointing any fingers. He just wants to show the U.S. who they are at this moment in time. His visualizations are making it very clear that certain things in American culture, maybe even western culture, are open for reform. Visit his website to see at all of his visualizations. You can zoom in on the works of art to really dig into the statistic. Below you also find the talk he gave at TED in 2008.

Photography has evolved through out the years and is getting more and more respected as an art form. Perhaps Man Ray really kicked off the conceptual kind of usage of the camera.
Still-life photographer Maurice Scheltens and visual artist Liesbeth Abbenes are artists, like Man Ray, that have a truly conceptual approach to photography. The photos they compose are created by looking at shape and color. The overall composition is the important factor in their creations. Some of their work even reminds me of paintings by Mark Rothko.
Scheltens & Abbenes take ordinary objects like hangers or chairs and manage to place them in such a way that their shapes or colors brings about something truly abstract. They make us look at the objects not for what they are but for what they can be. Shape over function. It makes us look differently towards any given object. Wonderful photographs that will look beautifully on any living room wall.

Everything we know about the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is what they want us to know. And see. People who are visiting the country will get a tour along the various iconic communistic achievements and symbols. Charlie Crane, British photographer, visited North Korea to photograph different places in the capital of Pyongyang. He decided, if he wasn't allowed to get deeper underneath the surface of this 'Stalinist Disneyland', he would just photograph the surface itself. Resulting in a wonderful photo series of places and people of this ever so closed-up country.

Young and talented photographer Femke van Veen has just started a new project. A photo series that will cover 365 days. She is 5 weeks into her project now. On her blog she will share the photos with us. A 365 photos kind of project has been done by others before, of course, but knowing the kind of photographer she is, it might be a very interesting blog to follow. Beautiful photographs guaranteed.

Aernout Overbeeke, Dutch photographer, seems to approach a portrait in a similar way as Arnold Newman did. To portray a person he doesn't just shoot the person up close and personal but includes his surroundings as well. And often takes a few more steps backwards then Newman did. By doing so Newman created an abstraction where Overbeeke creates an amazing depth in his photographs. And the softness he puts into every image is just beautiful.
Whether it's his portraitures or his commercial work, the softness and the depth is always recognizable. A signature of a photographer that understands light. By using natural light in combination with strobes he never makes it look like a studio shoot. The natural and strobe lighting give a wonderful mix to create the perfect atmosphere.

Alec Soth, member of Magnum since 2008, documents people and places. He uses an 8×10 camera. Important for him is to photograph a person when he or she is at ease. He said: "My own awkwardness comforts people, I think. It's part of the exchange."
The use of a large format camera brings about a softness that corresponds with the photographed subjects. The softness equals the comfortableness of the person photographed. As if Soth has found a way to reduce his own presence to that of the comfortable vibe a person has in their own personal space. And looking at his projects (Sleeping by the Mississippi, Broken Manual, The last days of W and others) he manages to truly tell a story by creating a mix of portraits, landscapes and interiors. As if we, the audience, get a look into a world we know not much about. A world that only comes about when a stranger is not present.

Whey protein is probably one of the greatest creation of 21st century, especially when it comes to bodybuilding and fitness.
Some people think it is a supplement for only body builders, some think it is a necessary supplement for all, and other think it is bad for health.
It is a very versatile supplement, you use whey protein for weight loss and gaining lean muscles.
This article covers everything you should know about whey protein, if you are taking it or someone close to you is planning to take it.
What is whey protein?
When milk is used to make cheese, the remaining liquid content is called "whey". But, it is not in the powder form, but it is watery whey.
This liquid solution is passed through the micro-filters separating the solid particles from the water. Ultra-filtration is used to separate protein molecules from fats and lactose.
These solid particles are then air dried to get the whey powder you see in the market.
Types of whey protein:
There are various types of whey protein depending upon the content, manufacturing steps and the type of milk used.
None of them is superior to other, each have their own benefits and disadvantages.
A particular type of whey can suit someones need more, which doesn't mean that other types of whey protein are bad. That is why it is important to know each type of whey protein in order to know which whey protein to buy.
Whey concentrate
It can be considered the purest form of the whey powder. This is what you get when you filter and air-dry the liquid by-product of the cheese.
If you are looking for less calories in whey protein, then it is not the best protein type for you.
Although, the protein in a whey concentrate can lie between 29-80%. Most of the manufactures provide you with a product with 75-80% protein.
The problem with whey concentrate is that it has a good amount of lactose, which prevents lots of lactose intolerant people from taking it.
Plus, it also contains some fat. This won't be an issue for normal people, but for someone who wants to build muscle while losing weight, it might create trouble.
What makes whey concentrate a good choice is the fact, that it contains lots of vitamins and minerals that are good for health.
Many researches that proved the health benefits of whey protein, used whey concentrate for the experiments.
Who should use whey concentrate?
If your focus is more on health and less on maintaining 10% fat, then you should go with whey concentrate.
Whey isolate
When you remove some more lactose and fat from the whey concentrate in order to increase the protein percentage, you get whey isolate.
Whey isolate contains 90-95% of protein.
It is good if you are on a very strict diet and you are trying to cut your fat and carb intake. Many professional athletes prefer whey isolate as a source of protein.
As the protein is isolated, the process takes important healthy components to make space for more protein. It won't be a problem if you are getting those vitamins and minerals from some other source.
Whey isolate can be consumed by lactose intolerant people!
Fat in food is responsible for slowing down the rate of digestion. As whey isolate contains very less amount of fat, it gets digested more quickly.
That helps in providing building material to injured muscle fibres faster. Whey isolates generally cost much more compared to whey concentrate.
Who should use whey isolate?
It is mostly for bodybuilder. People who take whey for health purpose and preventing sarcopenia can go with whey concentrate.
But, this doesn't mean that way isolate is unhealthy. In fact, like concentrate, it contains all the healthy essential amino acids.
Whey Hydrolysate
Whey hydrolysate is most processed form of whey. You get whey hydrolysate by breaking down whey isolate into small constitutents; peptides.
This make absorption of protein fast. But, Hydrolysate has failed to impress not only health enthusiast, but also the body builders.
First of all, the more you process any kind of food the chances of destroying vitals component jumps up. Secondly, whey isolate take less time to be absorbed, lowering the time period even more is not of any use.
The cost of hydrolysate is very high even when comparing it to isolate.
Many people believe, since it has been processed over multiple levels Hydrolysate should be bad when it comes to pure health.
In a study done on Hydrolysate of whey, it was seen that it had more ability to stimulate the production of Glutathione (powerful anti-oxidant).
Increased Glutathione production is one of the main reason why whey is so good for health, but denaturing whey this much leads to loss of important vitamins and minerals which is a negative point.
Benefits of whey protein:
Complete protein source
There are two types of protein. One type can be produced by our body and the other type can't be produced by the body. The later group is called essential amino acids.
There are total 9 essential amino acids. A food which contains all of them is known to be a complete protein source.
This is especially beneficial for vegetarians, as most of the food they eat don't have all the essential amino acids.
So, they have to eat protein from different sources at a single time to synthesis a complete range of essential amino acids.
Vegetarians can use whey protein to fulfil their body's need of essential amino acids.
Whey protein contains leucine in good quantity, which is one of the primary amino acids for muscle hypertrophy.
Easily Digestible
Whey protein is considered one of the most easily digestible proteins. The fact that whey doesn't contain fats makes the digestion very quick.
This is especially helpful for bodybuilders who want to utilize the increase protein synthesis rate windows after an intense workout.
As whey protein digest quickly, the amino acids hits your blood quickly, which can be used by your body for muscle building.
Secondly, people with weak digestive systems find it very easy to digest, because of the reason mentioned above.
Although, the digestion speed of a whey protein can differ, depending upon their filtration process used.
Increase production of Glutathione
Glutathione is a tripeptide which is made up of cysteine, glutamate, and glycine.
It is the most important antioxidant which your body needs in a great scale.
The job of Glutathione is to eliminated free-radicals floating around in your body. These free radicals are responsible for causing several diseases.
All the amino acids required to produce Glutathione are available in a good quality whey protein.
This makes it essential not only for young people, but for the people who are ageing, as the production of Glutathione decrease with age.
Glutathione also helps boost your immune system by detoxifying your liver. Liver is responsible for removing all the toxins out of your body.
Lots of people prefer taking Glutathione supplements, but they are not as effective. It is seen that body doesn't have the proper ability to absorbs Glutathione.
The best part about Glutathione, which also makes it important, is the fact that your body can produce it.
So, instead of taking actual supplements it is better to have the building blocks of Glutathione. Whey protein helps with that.
Helps build lean muscles
This is one of the well known whey protein benefits. There are variety of ways in which whey protein can help you build muscles that are also lean. First of all, whey protein contains very little fats.
Plus, as being a source of almost all the amino acids you need to build protein it belongs in the diet of everyone who wants to maintain or build muscle.
People who are trying to gain muscles while losing fats, especially benefits from the lean protein of whey.
In that scenario, you have to keep the calorie intake to the minimum while taking good amount of protein. A good quality whey can easily contain 75-90% protein.
Whey protein is anabolic, which means that it signals your body to start building more muscles. So, consuming whey(even without exercise) will help you with muscle hypertrophy to some level.
Easy to intake
There are many good protein sources which can help you build muscles and remain healthy, but preparation and consumption of them is not easy.
First of all, any food item you eat needs to be washed and cooked before eating. This takes a lot of time.
Secondly, after a while eating things like egg or boiled chicken breast is not an easy thing in itself. There will come many times when you have to shove food down your throat.
And, lastly, there is only so much food you can eat without the risk of puking all of it out.
Well this is not the problem with whey protein, you can easily have 20-24 grams of protein with a single scoop.
Unlike, earlier times, most of the whey are flavoured and some taste really good. You can even take protein shake as a desert.
Depression and mood
Due to the competitive nature of today's world, it is very common for a person to be stressed.
Contradicting to popular belief stress is not always bad, especially if it is short term.
The chronic stress is the main culprit. It causes various health problems both physical and mental.
Cortisol, which is a stress hormone, is released when you are subjected to stress conditions.
Among many things, prolonged secretion of cortisol effects your body in a negative way.
Whey protein contains an essential amino acid; tryptophan.
Tryptophan is known to decrease the level of Cortisol and increase the level of Serotonin.
Serotonin works in opposite direction of cortisol, for example, people with high Serotonin level are very unlikely to get depressed, they can sleep better and they stay happy in general.
As you can see in the diagram, Serotonin can be converted into Melatonin, which helps in inducing quality sleep.
Can aid treatment of cancer
Whey protein can't directly treat cancer, but in a study it was seen that whey can help by enhancing the effect of chemotherapy by depleting Glutathione from tumour cells.
It is seen that tumour cells have high level of Glutathione, which was preventing chemo drugs to act upon them.
Reducing Glutathione concentration from cancer cell makes them more susceptible to chemotherapy.
In this particular study, people with different types of cancer were chosen and given 30 mg of a special type of whey; Immunocal.
It was seen that among the 7 selected, 2 showed signs of regression and 2 showed stability of tumour growth. Ironically, whey protein can help prevent cancer in the first place by increasing the production of glutathione.
As we have discussed before, Glutatione takes care of free radical which can cause damage to the cells, causing mutation.
The second reason, why scientist believe that whey can help, is the fact that whey helps in iron-binding and iron can sometimes act as a mutagenic agent which can cause oxidative damage to the cells.
Helps with sarcopenia
Sarcopenia is a condition that causes a person to lose muscle mass and strength. It is a common age related problem, however it can be caused by variety of reasons. Including, poor nutrition, hormonal imbalance, lower physical acitivity, etc.
Whey protein has been very effective in the treatment and the prevention of the Sarcopenia. As it is a complete protein, it contains all the essential amino acids.
Essential amino acids improves the muscle protein synthesis. When compared to casein or soy isolates, whey protein have displayed far better results.
How to make whey at home?
Many people have many misconceptions about whey protein. There are people who avoid it thinking that it is powder filled with artificial chemicals.
Even if someone explains them the simple steps it takes to make whey protein, they still have an element of doubt in their mind.
There is only one solution to discard that doubt once and for all, i.e, by making whey protein at home.
As we have discussed, enzymes are added to milk to separate cheese and whey liquid.
These enzymes can be complex microbial compound or rennet or simple acid.
For sake of simplicity, you can use vinegar or lemon juice for the purpose. First you have to heat the milk until it starts boiling.
Then, you add 4-5 teaspoon of vinegar. After sometime you'll notice that curd will start getting separated.
All you have to do is stir for a few minutes. Now, you have to use a strainer to separate the solid and the liquid. The solid portion is cheese and the liquid portion is whey.
Although, the percentage of protein in the whey that you make at home is very less. Plus, it contains lots of lactose and fats.
Best time to take whey
Although, taking whey at any point of the day is beneficial for you, but there are times when it can help you the most.
Many people believe it is important to take whey in the morning. They are right to some extent. Eating protein in the morning keeps you energized and full for a long period of time.
But, in the morning there is no urgent need for quick absorption, unless you workout in the morning. So, eating a protein rich food that is slowly digested shouldn't be a problem.
Now, there are few times when your body's protein synthesis rate has gone up, it is the perfect time to provide your body a protein that can be absorbed quickly. This happens right after your workout.
An intense workout leaves your body craving for glycogen and protein. Having whey at that time with high glycemic index carbs is very important.
Before going to sleep:
A study was conducted on a group of men, analysing the effect of protein ingestion right before sleep. During the experiment, people were given around 30 grams of protein along with some carbs and close to nothing quantity of fats.
It was clearly seen that muscle mass significantly increased in relation to the placebo group. There was also significant increase in the muscle strength of the group that consumed protein.
Thus having whey at night is a good idea especially, when your goal is to build muscles.
The recommended dosage of protein is about 0.8 grams per kg of your body weight. But, if you want to build muscles you'll probably need more than that. Around 1-1.5 gram PER KG. Notice it is kg and not pounds.
Many trainers recommend 1.5-2 grams per pound. This is way too much and your body might not be able to enough to processes all that.
Secondly, that enormous quantity of protein is only needed when you want to be huge. Like he:
But, if you just want a lean body or you want to bulk a little bit. You certainly don't need that much.
The fact is, due to their intense training and already existing muscles they can synthesis that much protein, which is impossible for common people.
"Possible" Side effects of whey protein:
Notice the word possible, it means that the chances of having these side-effects are bleak, but there are still some chances.
You'll find several trainers and fitness expert who would preach that consumption of whey protein in any amount is not harmful and it maybe a correct statement for 95% people, but the rest 5% might have to suffer its consequences.
Kidney stones
Kidney stones are tiny stone like substance that are formed when components like calcium and uric acid are increased in your urine.
This shouldn't be a problem if you don't have a pre-existing condition, but if you have a pre-existing condition then taking huge quantities of whey can exaggerate it completely.
The first thing you want to do if you are planning to consume a large quantity of whey protein is to consult your physician. Check if you are already suffering from kidney stones.
If you are already in a later stage of a kidney stone problem then the symptoms might be very clear like blood in the urine, back pain, but if you are in an early stage, there might be absolutely no manifestations.
So, in that case, an x-ray or cat scan might help to diagnose kidney stones.
Heavy muscle toxicity
A research was conducted on level of heavy metals present in different types of protein and different brands of protein.
It was found that there were some brands that had a high level of mercury, cadmium and lead. Although, the amount wasn't large enough to cause a serious health problem if not consumed in high amounts.
But, there were a few products that had enough heavy metal to cause serious health problem on consumption of just 3 servings per day.
The problem with heavy metals is that body takes time to get rid of them completely. By consuming a large amount of protein you are refilling metal before your body get a chance to flush them down.
It is important to do some research before buying any brand of whey protein.
You can take advice from your gym instructor or a person with body building experience, but don't let your research be limited to verbal conversation.
Many times people readily give advice without having complete knowledge on that particular subject.
Use google and forums. Search for news related to that particular brand of protein you wish to buy.
Excess protein can make you fat
First of all, let us define the definition of excess. Excess is relative. A quantity which is not excess for Arnold might be excess for a thin teenage boy.
The more muscle you have the more whey protein you can take. The reason behind this is, when you have big muscles, working out will proportionately break big amount of muscle fibres.
So, you will need a large quantity of protein for the repair work. So, even if you have 3-4 scoops of whey protein daily, it will be utilised.
But, if you are a slim person, with little muscles, then eating that kind of amount of protein will make you fat, instead of building muscles.
Protein can be converted into fat using two different pathways. The first one is breaking down into glucose and from there it can get converted into fat.
Secondly, it can take Acetyl-coa pathways and get converted into fat directly. The path it takes will depend upon the amount of carbs you take.
If you have good amount of carbs in your diet, then it will take the second pathway, but if you are on very low carb diet, it will take the first path.
Can cause hair loss???
A study was conducted which suggested that eating whey isolate protein can increase the hair fall by increasing the production of testosterone and DHT.
DHT is made up from testosterone and it is good for you in small amount.
Accumulation of large amount of DHT in your scalp cause male pattern baldness. Although, the study spare whey concentrate. As whey concentrate is very close to natural form it is not harmful.
Although, there is still no hard evidence backing that claim. But, there is also no evidence or data contradicting that claim.
In this case, it is up to individual to analyse on his/her own, whether they see some increase in hair fall after starting with the whey protein.
You can even ask people around you, about their experience with whey protein. Balding can also be genetic things.
Some people end up being bald just by smoking few cigarettes in a day and some might not even after smoking couple of packets in a single day.
Whey protein Alternatives:
Whey protein is the dominant protein in the world of health, fitness and bodybuilding. But, it is not the only type of protein available.
Whey protein vs soy protein
An alternative of whey protein is soy protein. There are many reasons why a person would avoid whey.
First of all, whey protein(especially concentrate) have lactose in it, which makes it inappropriate for people with lactose intolerance.
Secondly, as it is derived from milk, the vegans would like to stay away from it. On the other hand, soy protein is derived from plants and has no lactose in it.
COST: Although the protein content per serving can change from brand to brand. Soy protein powder generally have equal or little more protein per serving. The cost per gram is almost equal.
DIGESTION: Whey protein absorbs and digests better-faster than soy protein. Plus, the amino acid profile is a better than soy protein.
Side-effects: Like, whey protein, there is no such side-effects if taken in adequate amounts. Some believe that consumption of soy protein can lead to increase in estrogen level and breast cancer.
Whey vs pea protein
A study was conducted on the effect of these two type of protein on the strength and the size of the muscles.
It was seen that both the protein supplementation had almost no effect on the strength of the individual.
But, there was seen significant increase in the muscle size for both the supplementation.
The increase in the size of whey and pea group was almost the same. Whey was a little better.
This is good for people who are allergic to dairy or soy products. Just make sure to check the amino acid profile before purchasing.
A good product will have all the essential amino acids in it.
But, in spite of everything, if you are not a vegan or have any kind of allergy, it is better to stay with whey protein. As, it is good for health in many ways.
Whey protein vs beef protein
There is nothing wrong with beef protein. In fact, it is considered as more anabolic than whey protein, although there is no study that backs that claim.
There is no such advantage of beef protein over whey protein. And, beef protein doesn't have a diversity such as whey. Plus, the taste of some beef protein product is as bad as burnt tyre.
So, if you have to choose between whey and beef protein. It is better to go with whey.
Whey protein vs. Amino acid supplements
Amino acids are the smallest component of protein. That means, you eat protein your body breaks down into small amino acids, these amino acids are used for variety of things, including muscle building and production of hormones.
There are variety of reason why someone would choose amino acid supplements over whey protein or some other protein source.
First of all, since amino acids are in purest form, unlike other whole protein sources, they are not associated with food allergies.
Secondly, as they are pre-digested, it takes very less time for your body to utilize them.
There is one more reason why you might want to buy BCAA's. BCCA is a group of three amino acids; Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine. Leucine is considered one of the most important elements for muscle hypertrophy.
You do get BCAA's from your protein powder, but it doesn't necessarily mean that you are getting them in adequate quantity. You need them more when you are building muscles.
