Podcast appearances and mentions of Andrew Curry

With the so many prevailing stories of uncertainty around for everyone, our roles as educators supporting young people and colleagues to know how to navigate it can be overwhelming! As Thea Snow said on a recent episode, feeling safe in uncertainty is hard. But this is where perhaps we can all learn from the wisdom of those with expertise in futures work and facilitating spaces to explore desirable regenerative futures. Bill Sharpe (http://www.billsharpe.uk/) is one such expert, who has been helping teams in all sectors of organisations and society find co-ordinated ways of managing innovation, creating transformational change that has a chance of succeeding, and ways of seeing the future in the present. He developed the adapted version of the Three Horizons framework as a method for futures studies and practice with Anthony Hodgson, Andrew Curry and Graham Leicester.Bill was previously a Research Director at Hewlett-Packard's corporate labs in Bristol, UK. He joined HP Laboratories in 1985, becoming one of the first HP Laboratory Directors outside the US. Early work in Bristol provided the impetus for him to set up the Personal Systems Lab that led HP's early work in the emerging world of smart consumer products, mobile computing and digital imaging. Bill then took an assignment in the USA for two years to lead the Internet Solutions Operation of HP's Laserjet Bueiness through the transition to Web. Back in Bristol, Bill set up new mechanisms for coupling HP Labs to the creation of HP's new information appliance businesses. This work led him to co-found the Appliance Studio in 1999 as an independent company, delivering innovation to a wider commercial audience. Having created a range of new product ideas for clients, in particular new business in digital signage for Steelcase Inc, the Studio launched its own start-up Lucid Signs. With the sale of Lucid Signs, Bill moved on to focus entirely on personal research and consulting. Early in his career, Bill took an active role in UK government research through his work with the Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC) and Advanced IT (Alvey) programs. As a member of the Programme Directorate at Alvey - a programme designed to foster R&D between industry and academia - Bill co-coordinated research into intelligent knowledge-based systems.Bill is a highly accomplished practitioner in futures techniques and systems change, and now works with Future Stewards (https://futurestewards.com/), the International Futures Forum (https://www.internationalfuturesforum.com/) and H3Uni (https://www.h3uni.org/) to pioneer new approaches to futures, systems thinking, and transformative innovation. He is the author of Three Horizons: The Patterning of Hope (https://www.triarchypress.net/three-horizons.html) and Economies of Life: Patterns of Health and Wealth (https://www.triarchypress.net/economies-of-life.html).Additional info about Three horizons: A pathways practice for transformation - Three Horizons is a simple and intuitive framework for thinking about the future. The framework explains how people often manage to disagree so violently about their visions of the future and how to achieve them - and it offers a practical way to begin constructive conversations about the future at home, in organisations and in society at large. The three horizons are about much, much more than simply stretching our thinking to embrace the short, medium and long term. They offer a co-ordinated way of managing innovation, a way of creating transformational change that has a chance of succeeding, a way of dealing with uncertainty and a way of seeing the future in the present.Kate Raworth's excellent description of 3H: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5KfRQJqpPUJonathan Rowson's great explanation of the H2 minus vortex: https://perspecteeva.substack.com/p/deactivating-the-h2minus-vortex Social LinksLinkedIn: @bill-sharpe - https://www.linkedin.com/in/bill-sharpe-6689

Let's talk about anxiety. At any given point in time, a person has a 30% chance of suffering from it. Some people are aware of it but they struggle to manage it while some others are not aware and it may be managing them, causing a lot of symptoms that they think are coming from other factors or making other conditions feel a lot worse. Between the latest online fads and the crazy media headlines, it's easier more than ever to get confused about your health. If you want to make better decisions about your health so you can feel better and live longer, you've come to the right place. To bring more solutions and understanding of anxiety, I brought in Dr. Nicole Cain today. She's a naturopathic physician and a licensed clinical psychologist that can share a lot of cool insights with us like what if anxiety isn't really an enemy but a helpful friend? how to use anxiety to figure out what worthy things to be addressed and how to go about and make things better? Key Takeaways:   [2:00] Introduction to Dr. Nicole Cain. [2:18] How anxiety could be really helpful? [3:00] General concepts of anxiety - how do you define and bracket anxiety from being excited?

This episode is all about Andy Gibb. Even though this is a Bee Gees podcast, I would often get questions or messages about Barry, Maurice and Robin's little brother Andy, who as you all know, was a musician himself. I would often joke back to those people with something along the lines of, “This is the Bee Gees And Me YouTube channel, you must have confused me with the Andy Gibb And Me channel.” Because, here's the shocker, I was never a really big Andy Gibb fan. Now, that might be considered blasphemous to some, how could a Bee Gees fan not like Andy too? But the simple truth is, Andy just wasn't my thing. His 70s teen idol gimmick didn't interest me as a male teen in the 90s. So while I was insanely obsessed with his older brothers, Andy and his music was always on the periphery. In my world, Andy was celebrated along with the other Gibb side projects like Barbara Streisand, Kenny Rogers, Diana Ross and Dionne Warwick. I didn't DISLIKE any of that stuff back then, let me be clear. I enjoyed it, but it didn't capture my ear like the Bee Gees proper did. So I decided that had to change. I tapped into my collector instincts first, telling myself that I had to own his albums to complete my collection. So I picked up some vinyl at a record shop. And then I started listening to more of his songs mixed into my playlists on my streaming devices. Then, a few months ago, I saw a new Andy Gibb tribute album. “Higher Than A Mountain.” And I knew this would be the thing that kicked my interest in high gear. I love me a good tribute album of cover songs. I love hearing people's interpretations of music and how it compares to the originals. I knew that this “Higher Than A Mountain” would be the thing that made me actually *listen* to the music and get a deeper appreciation for Andy Gibb. And that's exactly what happened. This compilation gave me a new appreciation for Andy's hits, AND it introduced me to a couple tracks that I wouldn't have given too much attention to. This tribute album “Higher Than A Mountain” made me an Andy Gibb fan. So, on this episode of Bee Gees And Me, I am talking with Andrew Curry, the man who assembled this tribute through his record label Curry Cuts. We'll talk about, not only these amazing cover songs, but also the complicated legacy of Andy Gibb.

Using an article entitled "The Rulers of Foreign Lands" by Andrew Curry that appeared in the September/October 2018 issue of Archaeology magazine, we will explore who the Hyksos were and their rise to power, leading to their rule of Ancient Egypt, as well as their eventual downfall. Join us on this interesting tangent to Biblical Archaeology!

Episode 1 seeks to explain the thought behind this podcast and introduce Andrew Curry your host

In 1911 an exhausted man emerged from the wilderness north of Oroville, California. He was discovered to be the last of the Yahi, a people who had once flourished in the area but had been decimated by white settlers. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll describe Ishi's sad history and his new life in San Francisco. We'll also consider the surprising dangers of baseball and puzzle over a forceful blackout. Intro: Director Chuck Jones laid out nine rules to govern Road Runner cartoons. James Cook's third expedition to the Pacific discovered a surprising amusement in Hawaii.

Andrew takes us into the genesis and elaboration of the “real” Three Horizons method and how it can be used for a lot more by practitioners, and shares other Futures gems.Andrew Curry is a journalist and futures practitioner with considerable scenario development experience. He was part of the team that developed what we now know as the Three Horizons approach for Futures work. In this interview Andrew describes the method as much more than "three lines on a page" and he explains its nuances. He also has observations on the state of the scenario method. A great interview for all practitioners.

What came first?Went from ~110 kg 80 kg myself. 10h 39min in Ironman Cairns (140.6), 29h 18min in PYT166 100-miler with 8000 meters elevation. Got a lab coat - did a Specialist Diploma in Nutrition Science at NYP Singapore, on top of my Master Degree in technology. I launched my own app for iOS called FoodBuddy, sunsetting it now unfortunately.My wife Lily's fully recovered from the neck disc tear through nutrition and well-being planned. Now runs duathlons.Foodbuddy is all about coaching 1x1, enterprise workshops (most impactful format), also present in Regional Committees (RC-s) in Singapore as I'm a People's Association Trainer.Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2018 official nutrition coach, run workshops, Facebook live-s.My mentors: Andre Blumberg, Matt Fitzgerald. Coached in “kampung spirit” of Integrated Riding Racing Team (IRRT) - takes a village to ride fast! Kudos to Merle Talviste (Swim Smooth coaching Singapore)Tell us about your philosophy on nutritionNutritional choices (what to take) is NOT diet (sum of intake). Let's get terms right. Most important aspect is Hunger vs. Appetite. Figure your Estimated Energy Requirement: http://bit.ly/foodbuddy-eer Set yourself up for the reality around you. Then get bored! How I pre-select to fight appetite. Recipes. Patterns.VICE uploaded “Mac & Cheese for 17 years” - “I've tried celery. I threw that shit out instantly” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1TWvXwgKr0 .Crazy case of some nervosa, definitely not anorexia nervosa though.Anyways, it's ABCD - no single right answer! Nutritional Needs Assessment uncovers it:● Anthropometric (i.e. BMI %%-s, fat loss progress, )● Biochemical (nutrient deficiencies, cholesterol level, OGTT for Diabetes)● Clinical (skin state, etc.)● Dietary (ecological / social status, certain food restrictions due to religion, food log, habits)As to athletes… aspiring vs. amateur, let's be real.● Eliud Kipchoge - Maurten hydrogel 2018, 2019. By the way there's a study that it's not really working as it's supposed to?.. Well, it works for Eliud anyways.● Chris Froome - haribo gummy candies in Giro D'Italia 2018 while losing 1 kg over 5 days.So did Peter Sagan.For us, ex-hunters with 10,000-s of years of experience, - everything edible is great in moderation.There are lots of diets that endurance athletes follow from Vegan, to Paleo to HCLF to Full Keto. What do you believe is the ideal diet for endurance sportsSuccessful event is a factor of preparation, mental health, in-race nutrition, luck (i.e. weather). Successful result is equivalent to “high performance”. High performance usually means lower mass.There's a new movie about vegan diet that throws in a bunch of claims by the way:● “Roman gladiators didn't eat meat” - that's an anecdote from archaeologist, Andrew Curry, in Archaelogoly Magazine 2008: Karl Grossschmidt of Medical University of Vienna, Vienna (MedUni Vienna). Gladiators, it seems, were fat. Consuming a lot of simple carbohydrates, such as barley, and legumes, like beans, was designed for survival in the arena. Packing in the carbs also packed on the pounds. "Gladiators needed subcutaneous fat," Grossschmidt explains. "A fat cushion protects you from cut wounds and shields nerves and blood vessels in a fight." Not only would a lean gladiator have been dead meat, he would have made for a bad show. Surface wounds "look more spectacular," says Grossschmidt. "If I get wounded but just in the fatty layer, I can fight on," he adds. "It doesn't hurt much, and it looks great for the spectators."● Claim “on par”. Plants could be an extremely good source of protein if all 9 essential amino acids + Nitrogen containing amino acids, but to say that it is on par with animal protein in terms of minerals like iron, vitamins like creatine, and synthesis availability (which are incredibly important for high performing athletes) is an outright BS.For vegetarians, it is important to know that Protein Quality = Amino Acid Composition + Digestibility (soy is best, up to 90% where 100% is meat)Beef is less than egg whiteI eat eggs and drink milk = top PQ food :-) therefore, are you ovo-lacto-vegetarian :-)Complementary: legumes + grains (different amino-acids).Biological Value = (nitrogen retained, g / nitrogen absorbed, g) * 100Higher = better matchLower = lower matchFAT content in meat is higher, yes. There are two types of fat absorption: for saturated fat it's through lymphatic system (chylomicrons, leading to LDL) and through intestine walls then venes and to liver (for unsat / polyunsat). Former flies past the adipose tissue reserves through lymphatic system, resulting in subcutaneous fat refills uncontrolled. Latter is controllable but again, there are two vehicles that can be determined using biochemical blood test -- High Density Lipoproteins (HDL) GOOD lipoprotein -- very small size, Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) BAD as can potentially clog the arterias.LCHFRothschild JA, Bishop DJ, Effects of Dietary Supplements on Adaptations to Endurance Training, Sports Med. 2019 Sep 17, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/s40279-019-01185-8 (shout out, he's in New Zealand doing his PhD)Over the past 20 years, research suggested that strategically reducing carbohydrate (CHO) availability during an athlete's training can modify the metabolic responses in lieu of simply maintaining a high CHO diet. Several methods have been explored to manipulate CHO availability and include: Low-carb, high-fat (LCHF) diets, performing two-a-day training without glycogen restoration between sessions, and a “sleep-low” approachArguments in favor of trying to increase fat-burning capacity focus around the ability to utilize the large stores of endogenous lipids found even in very lean athletes, while preserving the relatively limited supply of muscle and liver glycogen. Yet despite this theoretical advantage, measurable performance improvements from deliberately increasing fat burning capacity have been elusive.Each of these methods can confer beneficial metabolic adaptations for the endurance athlete including increases in mitochondrial enzyme activity, mitochondrial content, and rates of fat oxidation, yet data showing a direct performance benefit is still unclear.Do you believe in strict macros or simply calories in calories outThey all converge to one another, if you do it right. Estimated Energy Requirements (EER) is key here, and think about 7 days sliding windos.Another way to think about food is through the portions count of a particular quality. Kind of Matt Fidzgerald's approach. Know your EER + tweak PAL. Think last 7 days window. Control thirst-induced hunger. Eat breakfast like a pro.How do you believe the diet differs for each endurance sportEverywhere it's Gravity. Gravity is mass. Mass also non-linear to skin area, there's a formula to that. Thus the more mass - the more heat-induced stress from energy production, but not proportionally enough evaporation. Fat % reduction vs. temperature range vs. VO2max. Same stuff.What is your philosophy on nutrition during raceDepends on the race. Drink by thirst, do not fall below, do Protein.What is your philosophy on nutrition in recoverySleep. Compensation vs. recovery. DOMS. Antioxidants. Orange, Lime, Strawberries. Guava.Protein ratio to Carbohydrates. 30% of EER means ~0.8g/kg/day . Increase with intensity. Don't compensate!I do collagen peptides for 100+ km weeksHow do you feel about fasting as a method for endurance athletes.Time restricted eating and longer term fastsExercise more! Ride up grades, don't buy upgrades!What about alcohol? Red wine good / bad? Volume?7 cal/g, balance with life.Do you recommend protein shakes?Depends on training volume, but the the NuZest is great.What about supplements? Vitamins, minerals, fish oils? Do you recommend and how do you suggest people review which supplements they should get. I've done DNAFit which showed a genetic lack of B6 and B12Do the Clinical blood test and talk to doctor. Sleep.I do collagen peptides for 100+ km weeksDrinking during endurance sports? Hypernatremia is a big risk. Do you suggest taking on salt during exercise.Comrades Marathon study by Tim Noakes, author of “Waterlogged”. Water follows electrolytes, salt inhibits the water. Same in inter-cellular and intracellular. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2564296/Are there any ‘superfoods' which you recommend, Apple cider vinegar, Flak seeds, Chia seeds, nuts.Train more!Chia is great brekkie, keeps the Latin American economy going as side-effect ;-)“PROTEIN DIGESTIBILITY OF CHIA SEED Salvia hispanica L” -- digged through faeces to find out.CHIA SEE contains 18% of protein content, a level markedly greater than other nutritional grains such as wheat (14%), corn (14%), rice (8.5%), oats (15.3%) and barley (9.2%) -- grind in to flour or buy as powder.Fiber content. And it's cool :-) But, low protein digestibility according to FAO/OMS (42) standards. 79.80%Raw seed only 34% It looks like grinding would help protein digestion of raw seed. This treatment improve digestibility that could happen due to the fact that grinding divide and expose all seed component allowing enzymes actions. Finally, soybean flour shows an intermediate digestibility score, which is in concordance with previously a report.BEETROOTConrad P. Earnest, Jeff Rothschild, Christopher R. Harnish & Alireza Naderi (2019) Metabolic adaptations to endurance training and nutrition strategies influencing performance, Research in Sports Medicine, 27:2, 134-146, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1080/15438627.2018.1544134The limited evidence suggests there may be small but favourable effects of endurance training with nitrate supplementation, which are possibly related to changes in muscle fibre type. Beetroot juice may be more effective than nitrate salts, though the eficiency of supplementation can be affected by inter-individual variability [97] and environmental conditions [98]. All studies to date have used high-intensity training protocols, as dietary nitrate is particularly effective at augmenting physiological responses in type II fibresSugar, is it really the enemy?Yes. Dopamine! Not good :-(Meat, is it really the enemy?Often high fat in meat, plug cooking with oil... But again, it's vs. choices, vs. tastes, vs… Well, for protein - nothing beats egg whites.
