Health - Wellness - Exercise - Reflections:
Late Night? Grab A Snack!
 
By Joel Marion, CISSN, NSCA-CPT / January 21, 2011
 
Although typically shunned by the weight-loss community, a little pre-bedtime snack can yield quite a few benefits when done right. It can't fall into the typical carb-laden munchie category: potato chips, cookies, etc. Instead, reach for a slow-digesting source of protein, such as chicken, fish or turkey.

These low-carb, high-protein choices won't give rise to insulin (the major reason after-dinner snacks are discouraged), but will help fuel muscle tissue as you retire for the evening. For example, if you finished dinner at 7 p.m. and then ate nothing until you woke up the next morning at 7 a.m., you just went a full 12 hours without feeding your muscles. This is a sure recipe for muscle loss, especially when you're dieting and already restricting calories.

Additionally, many proteins are rich in tryptophan – an amino acid that is often used in sleep-promoting supplements as it has been scientifically proven to have a relaxing effect on the mind and body.

For less hunger, a faster metabolism and better sleep, grab a protein-rich snack!

Mario works at Vlada, a midtown bar know as much for his sexiness as it is for their 30-od flavors of Russian Vodka. And like any fine spirit, Mario goes down smooth (and has a lovely aftertaste). While smaller than the other guys in stature, we think you'll agree he packs a punch.

Berke began boxing in high school, but says in his private time he much prefers wrestling with a partner. He's got a right hook that'll make you soon and a counterpunch that will leave you begging for more. He excels in agility and control-----a combination we have a hard time beating. Grab some water and lace up! This bout's about to begin.

FEATURE - Gay activist murder prompts Ugandan reflection

By Barry Malone / KAMPALA / REUTERS/ Jan 30, 2011

"I think I'll be safer here at home" -- those were some of the last words Julian Pepe heard from her friend and fellow gay rights activist David Kato. That night his head was beaten in with a hammer.

"He just didn't feel that he could leave his house anymore," says Pepe.

"He was that frightened. I wanted him to meet me in town to talk about our security as things had gotten worse after the Rolling Stone publication."

The Ugandan newspaper, not to be confused with the U.S. music and politics magazine of the same name, was so-called because "it is a stone that is rolling to smoke out the homos," its editor told Reuters.

Kato's photo was printed in October on the cover of an issue calling for gays to be killed. The headline was "Hang them".

It is still unclear whether the murder was provoked by his sexuality. The police say preliminary investigations point to theft and they have arrested one man and are seeking another -- a well-known thief who had apparently been staying with David. Mukono, where he lived, is notorious for robberies by "iron-bar gangs".

Some people don't agree. They whisper that a police cover-up is to be expected in a poor country keen not to jeopardise the Western aid upon which it relies.

Rumours are spreading around Kampala that Kato's computer was left untouched, unlikely if the attack were a robbery.

People also point to a government-aligned paper reducing a story that made international headlines to just a single, small article on page three.

Others blame the international media, accusing it of sensationalising the death.

In one sense, whether or not homophobia motivated David's killer is unimportant. A global spotlight has shone on the country in a way it rarely does and many Ugandans are unhappy with what it highlights.

"A PEACEFUL SOUL"

Alan Kasujja, host of a breakfast radio show in Kampala, used his broadcast on Friday to urge Uganda to turn its back on homophobia and focus on other issues.

"I have tons of friends who are gay," Kasujja told Reuters. "These are people who I have gone to school with, who I have worked with. They are our brothers and sisters, our children.

"So am I supposed to join ill-informed, undereducated people who advocate for them to be ostracised? Sorry, I cannot be part of that," he said.

Alan says his listeners were divided over whether David was a victim of hate, or robbery. Though many listeners expressed reservations about homosexuality, they said that Uganda should not be known for violence.

Some texted the show, however, telling him to stop promoting "deviants", a reflection of a culture of hate that many say has been encouraged by the Christian right in the east African nation -- often funded by Christian groups in the United States.

Kampala's Red Pepper newspaper headlined its story on the murder: "Self-confessed bum driller murdered", accusing Kato of "luring" men into gay sex.

People from all over the world reacted to the news on Twitter, pushing it into the top 10 subjects on the social media site -- a rarity for African stories.

David was "courageous", people said. He was "inspiring", "unbowed", and perhaps most wrenching of all given his last moments of life "a peaceful soul".

Two gay Ugandan men, poring over the newspapers on Friday morning, smiled ruefully when they saw the Red Pepper story and shrugged their shoulders.

"This is what we have to deal with day-to-day," said one, who did not want to be named. "But I listened to the radio this morning and I read Twitter yesterday and I felt some hope. Maybe this is so awful, it can change things."

The two friends finish their tea and push through the swinging doors of the cafe and out into the blistering heat.

One pauses and turns his head back.

"Do you promise you won't use my name?" he asks. "I know David didn't mind. But David ... David was... I don't know." He shakes his head sadly. "I don't know."
