 Beyond Utopia: Why UoPeople Represents the Most Pragmatic and Revolutionary Educational Framework of the Century

The landscape of higher education is undergoing a profound paradigm shift. On one side stand centuries-old, rigid brick-and-mortar institutions characterized by outdated lecture halls and exorbitant logistical burdens that drain students' energy. On the other side is a model aligned with the contemporary era—entirely rational, objective, and acutely aware of its capabilities. The University of the People (UoPeople) does not operate in a utopian vacuum; it establishes precise boundaries, refrains from impractical ventures, and, precisely because of this realism, offers one of the most outstanding educational opportunities of our time.
To fully appreciate this model, which challenges the inefficiencies of traditional universities, it must be analyzed through a lens of absolute pragmatism and sector reality.

1. A Pragmatic Vision: Recognizing Boundaries and Avoiding Futile Ventures

UoPeople avoids systemic bottlenecks by refusing to chase idealistic illusions. It deliberately abstains from offering disciplines such as medicine or law, which inherently contradict the efficacy of online education due to their reliance on physical laboratories, clinical practice, or localized legal frameworks.
  • The institution consciously avoids ventures that conflict with the fundamental nature of distance learning.
  • Instead, it selects "universal and global" disciplines whose core principles remain identical worldwide. Writing Python code, managing a corporate financial budget, or developing public health theories requires the exact same competencies whether performed in Istanbul, New York, or Tokyo.
  • By focusing exclusively on fields that can be delivered online without compromising quality—specifically Computer Science, Business Administration, and Health Science—the university demonstrates intellectual honesty. Acknowledging institutional boundaries rather than pursuing logistical fantasies serves as its greatest asset.

2. Strategically Curated Disciplines Optimized for Synchronous Online Delivery

The sustainability and success of UoPeople stem from its exclusion of disciplines dependent on the physical world. Every curriculum within its portfolio is structured around zero spatial dependency and international standardization:
  • Software and Technology (Computer Science): Software engineering, system testing, cloud management, and database administration are inherently digital operations. They require neither lecture halls nor physical laboratories. Furthermore, integrating an advanced graduate program in Robotics (Master of Science) into this framework remains highly feasible; modern robotics development relies heavily on digital simulation environments (e.g., ROS, MATLAB) prior to physical deployment.
  • Management and Finance (Business Administration): Quantitative analysis, financial reporting, budgeting, and international marketing strategies are mastered entirely via Excel and enterprise software. Given that contemporary marketing has transitioned into the digital realm (SEO, programmatic advertising, Meta/Google analytics), online instruction captures the absolute core of the industry.
  • Theoretical and Administrative Healthcare (Health Science): UoPeople avoids clinical practices such as school of medicine requiring direct human intervention. Instead, it prioritizes Healthcare Service Management—focusing on the digital organization of hospitals and pharmaceutical enterprises—and Community Health (Epidemiology), which relies heavily on statistical data analysis.
  • Digital Pedagogical Frameworks (Master of Education): This discipline trains future educators in utilizing online instructional tools and developing international curricula. Students enrolled in this program experience the practical application of these digital pedagogies firsthand through their own learning environment.

3. Elimination of Logistical Friction and Administrative Inefficiencies

In traditional universities, the primary obstacle confronting students is often logistical rather than academic. In major metropolitan areas like Istanbul, thousands of students endure up to four hours of daily commuting via public transit networks, resulting in profound physical and mental exhaustion.
  • Zero Optimization Deficit: UoPeople students reallocate these twenty hours of weekly commuting directly to their academic pursuits from their own workspaces. This time is frequently utilized to solve complex algorithmic challenges on platforms like LeetCode, rendering them exceptionally competitive for global technical interviews.
  • Uninterrupted Knowledge Acquisition: Traditional administrative burdens—such as waiting hours in campus facilities for cancelled lectures, physically attending classrooms solely for attendance compliance, navigating faculty availability, or enduring bureaucratic queues—are entirely eliminated. Academic engagement commences the moment the workstation is activated and concludes upon its shutdown. Preserving a student’s cognitive energy for academic and technical development rather than commuting represents a significant strategic advantage.

4. System Autonomy as Primary Expertise: Eradicating the Vulnerability of Inexperience

A profound contradiction exists within traditional university computer laboratories. Despite substantial institutional budgets, workstations frequently remain un-updated for years regarding hardware infrastructure. Furthermore, students are systematically denied administrative privileges; they cannot modify operating systems, alter internal hardware configurations, or experiment autonomously within the environment. Consequently, they graduate with limited practical exposure to system administration.
Conversely, students operating within a rigorous online structure never experience the vulnerability of practical inexperience. This resilience is driven by specific operational realities:
  • From inception, students bear sole responsibility for managing, configuring, and maintaining their own workstations.
  • They independently execute software installations, optimize operating systems during technical failures, and perform hardware upgrades (e.g., RAM and SSD installations) as required.
  • True technical competence in engineering requires absolute command over one’s machine. Online students transcend the limitations of restricted university assets by acting as the architects, technicians, and administrators of their own computing environments.

5. Deconstructing the Myth of Simplicity: The 30% Graduation Benchmark and Rigorous Accountability

External observers frequently mischaracterize online education as an effortless path to credentialing. However, individuals entering UoPeople encounter an exceptionally demanding academic framework that requires profound discipline, self-regulation, and consistency.
  • In traditional settings, passive lecture attendance or superficial classroom presence can occasionally suffice to secure passing marks. At UoPeople, students must execute comprehensive weekly readings, contribute substantively to peer-reviewed discussion forums, author academic assessments, and submit complex projects within unyielding deadlines. Insufficient platform engagement or a lack of prolonged focus results in systematic academic elimination.
  • Consequently, the institutional retention and success rate hovers around 30%. Approximately 70% of matriculated individuals discontinue their studies due to an inability to sustain independent working habits, endure long hours of programming, or manage the unrelenting weekly assignment load. This low success rate serves as empirical evidence that the institution does not distribute unearned credentials; rather, it exclusively graduates individuals possessing exceptional cognitive stamina and work ethic.

6. Project-Based Assessment vs. Rote Memorization

Proponents of traditional models frequently harbor the misconception that academic dishonesty, plagiarism, and the compromise of assessment integrity are exclusive to online environments. In reality, academic malpractice is universal. In traditional institutions worldwide, the unauthorized procurement of examination materials from faculty archives, the outsourcing of academic assignments for financial compensation, and superficial plagiarism remain chronic, systemic issues.
UoPeople counteracts these vulnerabilities through a robust structural methodology:
  • The curriculum is built upon highly articulated assessment rubrics that clearly define performance criteria. While minor evaluation anomalies occasionally occur due to peer-review mechanics, the grading framework generally aligns with elite American higher education standards.
  • Assessments prioritize scholarly research, comprehensive reference implementation, case study analysis, and functional project development over rote memorization.
  • Even if an unmotivated student attempts to plagiarize source code or conceptual arguments, they remain fundamentally obligated to debug the project, establish rigorous academic citations, and ensure functional execution. The system compels analytical research rather than superficial duplication. Consequently, the top decile of students attains an academic caliber capable of competing directly with graduates from elite global institutions.

7. Intellectual Envy and the Dismissal of Innovation

Much of the criticism directed at UoPeople's rigorous educational quality stems from a classic psychological defense mechanism, capturing the Turkish proverb: "The cat calls the meat spoiled because it cannot reach it." Many critics, entrenched in expensive or physically exhausting traditional systems, project their own frustrations onto this innovative framework. Unable to replicate this level of global accessibility or unwilling to adapt to a digital structure that demands absolute self-discipline, detractors resort to dismissive skepticism rooted purely in institutional jealousy. Rather than evaluating the university's rigorous metrics and elite-level academic backing objectively, they mask their envy by labeling the unconventional model as substandard simply because it circumvents the artificial prestige and barriers of classic campus education.

Conclusion: An Indisputable Paradigm for Democratic Education

By rejecting impractical abstractions, UoPeople has identified and executed the most pragmatic framework for modern higher education. The future expansion of this rational model into evolving technical fields, such as robotics, will further amplify its substantial impact on global human capital. Its contribution to educational equity, accessibility, and professional enablement remains entirely indisputable.
Ultimately, the global technology sector evaluates candidates based on objective problem-solving capacity rather than institutional prestige. While individuals who bypass traditional academic rigor face elimination during live technical screenings, disciplined UoPeople graduates who command their technology independently secure roles at enterprise leaders such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. UoPeople stands as a highly rational, functional, and realistic educational revolution that delivers exactly what the modern industry demands.

How long should a diet applied to understand if it helps to lose weight or not?


 How long should a diet be applied to understand if it helps to lose weight or not?
a) A week
b) A month
c) 3 months
How to decide if a diet is causing weight loss? managing weight maintenance?


How frequently should one weigh herself/himself with a balance to understand what is going on with a new diet.



Below is an imaginary overweight person about 35 years old woman drawed by a computer program, her imaginary name is Guwaksak.  What should be the strategy for such a woman to lose weight? Guwaksak does not have any health problem, her blood pressure, heart, lung, or any system is healthy.
She experiences constipation over some weight losing diets. She does not have any gastritis, but if she decreases the amount of foods too much she will have some gastric problems, her stomach feels better when full. She does not like to calculate food calories or exercise calories. She does not want to memorize or read a monthly diet menu. She wants a simple healthy menu that she could apply for at least 3 months. She does not like  to go to exercise saloons, but likes to walk everyday at least 45 minutes. She is not very rich.

 (Overweight woman)

PHOTO B. Her ideal weight


The questions are: Which weight losing diet duration is better to reach PHOTO B. What goals could be realistic for her to follow?
Yes, the body in PHOTO A can healthily turn into PHOTO B without any surgery
by a simple diet (see the repeatable diet menu list )
losing 2kg each month and walking 45 minutes/day regularly over 1 or 2 years. (Guwaksak leads rather a normal life, Guwaksak is not a world champion sportswoman at all who could burn 6000 calories a day).
The PHOTO A body may turn into PHOTO B in very short time by excess exercise and too low calorie diets; but from the point of health,
losing only 2kg a month is most appropriate for PHOTO A.
Since Guwaksak needs to lose at least 30 kg, she needs to diet at least 15 months.
Lets say Guwaksak applied the diet here and lost only 15 kg a year, what should Guwaksak do? An important diet strategy question.
Even if she manages to lose only 12 kg a year applying the diet here, she(Guwaksak) is still very succeed in dieting. A healthy diet that manages to lose 12 kg a year is good.
That it will take Guwaksak to lose 30kg more than two years is not any failure but rather healthy slow weight losing. Such slow weight losing will also teach Guwaksak to maintain her weight better.
Too low calorie diets are not life-time repeatable, whereas the diet here is a gold menu for anytime to repeat without any harm.
Guwaksak after such a diet will learn her body reaction to this diet. Guwaksak will learn the best durations to apply this diet, whether months or years. But, she will never be a failure in maintaining weight.
Lets say she dropped 30 kg over 2 years, but on a vacation she could not find fat-free food, changed her menu and gained 4kg in only a 1 month vacation when away from her kitchen, since she is excelled in this diet, she will need only two months to have PHOTO B. body again. Only weekly weight measurement will be enough for her. If she gained 6 kg a week (Though Guwaksak even never gains weight that fast), she again starts the diet here .
Specially female bodies, regardless of the diet, may hold water by physiological changes in hormones, thus daily weight measurement will be meaningful only to those who measures body hormones, Guwaksak never interested in to know if her hormones holding water some days, thus for her, the daily weight measurement is not the best method; but weekly, monthly or yearly measurements are meaningful.
Guwaksak is a lazy person to search exact calories for each food, for each exercise,
She likes this diet here because all she need to learn is leaving out any fat/oil from her diet, to manage to cook meat/fish to melt away excess fat, and eat cooked vegetables anytime she feel hungry. The strategy is to increase the duration of a healthy low-calorie-diet, rather than restricting the calories too much.

When Guwaksak started her almost fat-free, high protein, high vegetable healthy weight-losing diet here, since Guwaksak was overweight by at least 30 kgs, her 5 kg weight lost over 3 months was not noticed by her close people at all.  But, she did not hurry to drop pounds. Only after 6 months her weight loss has been noticed even in her dresses.

That Guwaksak sometimes gained 4kg is not meaning that she will be obese again. It is OK that Guwaksak sometimes gained 4kg (not more). Humans are not machines, such weight gain is normal to tolerate, such small weight gain does not mean at all that Guwaksak will be obese again. Accepting such a tolerated limited weight is an important key to successful weight maintenance. Even if Guwaksak gains 4kg  month, she did not failed in maintaining her weight. But, she is not allowed to gain 5kg a month, for her body gaining more than 4 kg a month is considered a failure in her diet.

This diet is here arranged so that it will be repeated safely anytime at least for months, whereas too-low-calorie diets can not be applied repeatedly. Learning the reaction of body to unhealthy too-low-calorie-diets has no meaning to educate an obese person. Whereas a repeatable healthy diet will insure a person, will educate a person to lose any excess 4 kg or more weight anytime. Guwaksak will never forget what she experienced over 6 months with this diet, this is her diet experience/education. Guwaksak after losing 30 kg; many times noticed that she gained 3 or 4 kg a month. Since she was experienced in this simple diet here , always succeed to apply it to drop back to her ideal weight each time after balance showed her excess weight.

I investigated hundreds of living overweight people who used fast weight losing diets, most of them dropped maybe pounds immediately in months/weeks, but failed to maintain a healthy weight for a life time.
Meanwhile, overweight is not someone who is heavier than photoshopped models, but who has pounds to worsen her/his health, or fitness.
Guwaksak is not supposed to compare herself to a woman who dances 8 hours a day as a work.
She hardly has anytime to exercise.

..
This blog emphasises that the most important thing in successful diet is not to manage to drop pound fast, but learning a good diet habit so that any time the balance would show 4 kg excess, slow weight weight-losing diet starts again.

The eating disorders bulimia-and-anorexia somehow resulted from again the lack of some simple basic education; not knowing the OK weight gain limits, such as 4kg allowance. Some of people are somehow are inadequately inputted computer-robots, their flowchart misses required
knowledge-input, and they fails to do arrange their eating healthily. Think that an engineer is creating a software program for an automatic robotic car to fill its oil itself timely for efficient go, but the software program missing some number inputs for the robot.
On which day to start to weight losing diet, or weight maintaining diet, they do not know. This question is explained in this blog.
The missing information will be available to them by education from correct resources. Some girls even ban themselves  from any food upon even gaining only 2 kg by physiological hormone changes. They are afraid too much to look as PHOTO A again. They are afraid too much that they gained 2kgs, they lost any control over their bodies. They are not educated to know allowed changes in body weight or shape.

I am the first who is clearly suggesting that allowing 4kg weight gain a month rather helps to maintain healthy ideal weight. For a bigger woman who sports heavily, the allowed weight gain a month is even 5 kg.
Each year putting on 4kg again, and losing again is not meaning that the person will be obese again.
Too unrealistic plans only will cause losing the control over a working diet.
Such a diet strategy will work at very late ages, such as 60 or more.
Being overweight when young many times means this person is experienced in diets, and easily will maintain her weight when old. Many normal weighted people are not experienced in dieting, and at late ages their weight always is higher(10 kg or more) than then their young ages.



An anecdote from my birth city:
Obese Temel asks for a remedy  for his obesity; when given a Diet List, he could not believe that he is supposed to leave out table-sugar, flour, any butter/fat/oil, bread from his meals, then asks if the things in the Diet List is eaten after of before meals. Many people  do not like learning dieting. 



Although my diet is explained clearly as a summary, when it comes to application of the diet on any wishing person, some sort of education level might be needed. Maybe in secondary school there should be a monthly one hour lesson teaching that 'water has zero calorie', but alcohol, though looks similar, has very high calorie.
High calorie intake means getting obese. Even Some market food label reading should be taught in schools. Such a lesson could be selective for those wanting it.
I met people who did not drink water to lose weight, or did not understand that eating

table-sugar in cookies is also consuming it. Consuming a food as mixture of sugar and fat is again consuming sugar and fat. Drinking table-sugar is again consuming it. I am not blaming anyone for not knowing such facts, but some knowledge in recognizing foods will be helpful. Some people even does not know what does plant, vegetable or fat means, or what classified as fat.
Such knowledge is Food Ingredients Language.  
Sure one hour per month will not teach all scientific details, but telling a menu requires usage of a language, recognition of some food groups.
Such education is not equal getting lean; but, such food recognition knowledge is permissive to learn diet menus.
Sure rich people does not require any knowledge to apply any diet, but millions of people in US or in many somehow developed countries are fat and not rich.
Remedies are endless if even moderately rich.
A fat-free internet market/store could be open which bans table-sugar products, any fat/oil or products with fat indeed correctly (Some misleading products are mislabeled as fat/sugar free). Then the dieting person would hire a Cook who knows to melt away the fat from some fishes/meat if further needed, and knows to recognise fat-free product-stores to buy ingredients. Another hired diet program responsible person would tell, e-mail, the Cook daily menu for this dieting person with such a weight. The diet-programmer is required to calculate exact calories for exercises, for any food, not the Cooker, but an educated person in diet programs.

If not all, some cooks should be educated in fat-free cooking during their certification by some short courses. Sometimes a cook knows to cook fat-free foods, but since he/she is not taught to know that they are fat-free, says that he/she does not know fat-free cooking. Or, some will still use some different fat, but will not unerstand it is fat, and incorrectly describe some foods fat-free.
My mother was an already good cook, after cooking my fat-free meals for years, she is a very good fat-free cooking Cook. Only a high school or secondary school educated good Cook will easily learn fat-free cooking. My mother recognizes fat/oil versions, table-sugar foods, does not use them for my meals, she also cooks vegetables tasty without any fat/oil. Now, at 72 still cooks for me once a month.  

Maybe on TV, on internet videos such language will be taught. The ultra level of such language is the subject of Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, Medicine etc. and is not asked from the dieting or cooking person.

There are millions of people who are obese in US, in world, 60% of these people in US could afford to pay fat-free high protein, high vegetable diet if some organizations would make a good connections between people. The organization would ask commitment to buy fat-free products for at least 2 years. Then the dieting person would sign a deal with the
fat-free store, with the cook and with the diet/meal calculating person to decrease prices.
Almost 80% of obese people are obese, because they eat wrong; not because they have bad genes, or they like eating anomalously too much. 
Many man world champions eat incredible amounts of foods, then burn it by exercise, they do not have bad genes since they can eat that much.


In this portray, I am all (I wish I were richer to afford to hire a Cook). I am the fat-free cooking person, I am the ultra-knowledged ultra-educated degreed diet Creator, I am the calorie calculator; but my advantage is that my educational field more appropriate for such fields. for example the field of musician requires different education, for a musician learning such calorie things, cooking is more difficult.

Honey-sweetened Salmon fish is Not the best tasted desert, but healthy ingredients.

Not the best tasted food, but healthy ingredients.

When I am on low-calorie-healthy diet, eating sweetened salmon/fish is a good change for me.
Since on market there are not a lot, both healthy and sweet food; I like honey-sweetened salmon/fish.
I am not into foods with salty/sweet taste at all, but my healthy diet eliminates any table-sugar-cooked food, any fatty food, sometimes my diet is boring. I eat honey-sweetened-salmon as a desert in my diet. It tastes as if waffles. Maybe its taste is not as good as waffles sold on the stores, but my salmon recipe is healthier.
I do not eat the melted fat/oil/honey came out from Salmon/fish, but when cooked the fish still has enough healthy content.
-At first I boil salmon in salty water with some orange peel and honey about 5 minutes or more
-Then, take out the salmon into microwave plate which has orange/lemon peels
-Brush the tops of the salmon with honey
-Microwave to cook salmon till it is not burned, but all the excess fat is melted under the orange peels.
I use orange peels to give higher level to salmon/fish, so that the melted fat will not be absorbed with the fish again to increase its calories. When cooked, the fish together with the melted honey releases any excess fat, the remained fish is dry, excess-fat-free, sweet fish. To prevent the fish from reabsorbing the fat from the cooker plate, I move fish to a new plate and add some honey just before I eat, this time I do not cook the honey.
This recipe is for maintaining weight rather than weight loosing diet.
Its calories maybe not low, but it is worth to eat it for its healthy ingredients.


I also eat the grey skin and the skin fat of salmon, salmon skin is rich in phosphor and I believe the grey colored skin is good to digestive system skin barrier. The fat tissue just under the skin has different fat structure, it helps to have younger under skin fat.
Honey-salmon is not the lowest calorie food, but I always spare my calculated-diet-calories for it because it is healthy. Even eating such a salmon meal does not increase my total fat intake, because in my any other meals I never use any oil/fat, so that my body takes only very healthy fish sources for any requirement. The same day I also eat fruits, fat-free vegetables, lean red meat, nuts such as almonds.
I do not eat too big, too old salmons. Anyway, fishes are almost always young by their nature.
My ancestors are from sea-side cities, they are famous with their usage of fish in any meal. I used their recipes as a source.

My main point in cooking fish or any fatty food is that I am cooking it so that I take out any excess fat as melted fluid to dump/eliminate. I do not have many cookers, cooking tools in my house, because I do not have much time to spare for cooking. I have a small microwave, thus by layering the fish over orange peels I am doing a different style, maybe similar to broiling, or grilling. Whatever called, grilling/broiling; this style of mine is to melt away excess fat.
When boiled, the excess fat stays with fish giving more calories,
thus boiling is only my first step to clean fish, whereas microwave oven and honey helps to separate/melt away the excess fat from cooked fish.

When I am on very low-calorie diet, I cook salmon similarly but instead of honey and orange peels,
I use onion and tomatoes.
I boil salmon in salty water,
then take out from boiling pan,
put onion slices in a microwave plate, on top of onions insert salmon,
over all salmon surfaces insert tomato slices,
put in microwave to cook till not to burn it but to melt away all excess fat with melted tomato juice.
Since tomato and onion I used during cooking absorbs all the fat, I do not eat this tomato and onion, I toss them.
When fish is ready I eat it with freshly prepared sliced onions, lemon juice.
Calorie value is approximately:
100 gr salmon= 450 calories
but after all melted fat it is very possible that 100 gr broiled salmon even has 320 or less calories.
If I have time I will do some work to find out the exact calories in this recipe.
If I do not have the exact calories for a healthy food; when I do daily Total Allowed Calorie Intake calculations, rather than the possible least calorie value, I consider that the meal has the highest calories.
I am also very good to approximate the calorie in any unknown food, if I only I know the water, protein, carbohydrate, and fat amount in any food.
I dry out the water from any food to learn its water per cent.
Any 1 gram food will give at most 9 calories, but most foods are always a composit of water, protein and carbohydrates. In nature there is not such foods that has such high fat (1gram=9 calories). Only some processed fat/oil sources, for example, vegetable oil/olive oil, processed saturated fat etc. will have that high amount of calories. My healthy diet eliminates any processed fat/oil.

Honey-sweetened-Salmon is my afternoon desert today.
What I have eaten for a whole day are below:
Breakfast:
3 peaches,

1 orange,
Cucumber, raw Green Pepper, raw cherry tomato, onion salad (About 500 gr)
Hot black tea.

One small cup fat-free milk
In the afternoon:

Aubergine, green beans, cabbage, green peppers, onion, garlic, tomato microwave cooked. (The wet weight of the vegetables is about 750 gr or more).
Lean fat-free calf red meat boiled, grilled, or cooked in microwave oven with garlic, onion (wet weight 500gr)
Honey sweetened salmon fish (wet weight 300gr)

Hot black tea.
1 apple

Evening:
Aubergine, green beans, cabbage, green peppers, onion, garlic, tomato microwave cooked. (The wet weight of the vegetables is about 750 gr or more).
Cucumber, or celery (about 250 gr)
Mineral water.
Handful nuts.


If between meals one feels hungry then is allowed to eat cooked vegetables. Or is free to eat noon meal just 30 minutes after breakfast. Skipping breakfast is not a good habit.
Eating fruit and cooked vegetable before meat/fish helps to keep stomach healthy.
Skipping meat/protein meal never allowed. All spice/herbs such as mint are vegetables and suggested as a different taste. Any zero calorie food such as water is allowed at desired amount, I drink at least 10 cups of many types of tea a day. Or drink bottles of mineral water. When I was young I used to drink bottles of high quality diet coke, but in this east europe country diet cokes are not original fresh, not healthy. This country has good natural Mineral Water sources; many brands are in good quality.

Above example healthy daily menu is good to maintain or lose weight. I change the vegetables, fish and fruits with seasons.
If on a strict weight loosing diet, I eat fish without honey; cooked only with onions, tomato.
To decrease calories I omit nuts.
Compared to any weight losing diet, my diet have more
fresh vegetables (classified under carbohydrates)
more red meat, fish (classified under protein).

There is not any vegetable oil/fat, any table-sugar, any flour/bread.
I have repeated/eaten this daily menu for entire month or for many months.
Most of my time was on computer. I walked at least 45 minutes each day and I slightly lost weight.
I never have any intention to lose weight more than 2 kg a month, fast weight losing is unhealthy.
I am below 50 kg, a small female, and not very young.
Although I reached to this daily menu after many detailed nutritional calorie/vitamins/cofactor calculations, in this blog I tried not to write too much calculations, and give a simple and
healthy diet menu. Although my original diet menu is longer with detailed foods and exercise calories as a computerized program;
in this post I also tried to exemplify my working healthy diet only as a repeatable single-day.
This menu also gives fibers as suggested by any healthy diet program. The fiber is rather in the vegetables and freshly cooked/taken with all beneficial cofactors.

I like variety of small white meat fishes, but Somon is easy to cook in microwave, and fits with sweet honey good.    

White Turbot Fish Meat









My favorite fish is Turbot (Psetta maxima maeotica ),
a tasty and naturally lean fish; it has white meat, but it is almost extinct now, or too expensive to eat.

Is there appropriate dress to increase voice performance?


Anyone knows singer should wear beautiful dresses on stage, but my point is different. A perfect voice may sing worse in a bad dress. Temperature, humidity during singing is very important. The best dresses are not the ones which reveals naked trunk, Lung area; but the ones cover the trunk, keeps a constant temperature so that voice strings/muscles metabolism, breathing is maintained at its best.
When I click on videos at youtube.com, I click on appropriate dressed ones.

Is body built with talented heavy muscle, or fat

When one seeks fit people, first place is Olympics for me.
But, the looks of champions will not tell to ordinary people much. Shawn J, a world champion from US is built from talented muscle, and her body muscle measures/weight should be interpreted only after her muscle talents are seen. Specially for her age(she was good even at her late age).
She weakened her knee on inappropriate high heeled shoes. No problem if normal people wear them, but she jumps with them with her ball like body.
She is a gymnast champion, but she also differ even from other gymnasts  in that she has enormous strength; she did not required for her program, but if needed she could move on a
street at least 500 meters just flip-flopping without any problem to race walking people, this is more than being a gymnast (I have not watched her this year, this is my former notes from 2007-8 etc).
her measures should not be an example to normal people.
Is Shawn J fit here in
2010
or here in
2012(on the right)
where she slightly weights less(Just guessing, for certainty one needs to see measures, not good tailored dresses/clothes on a body).
My answer is, though she weights more in 2010, she was more fit in 2010.
But, age always is disadvantage over fitness, thus comparing two different ages is not fair.
In 2040 she may weight less than 2012, but she will be less fit inevitably, because she is a human with aging physiology. Any female gymnast is less fit at age of 47 compared to 13.

Anyone looking at a body, more or less,  will understand/differ fat from muscle as a softer tissue. Muscle is not bone, but harder than fat tissue. However, when it comes to being fit/healthy tissue, that a tissue is hard, free of fat will not always mean that it is very healthy. A healthy muscle is also recognized by its well coupling to neuronal stimulation; if the muscle like tissue is there, but not responsive to neuronal stimulation, the person will have muscle appearing tissue but no desired movements will achieved. .
Shawn J has extra ordinary short spring muscles in her spine(vertebral muscles) which are well coupled to neuronal stimulation. Although training and diet are very important to improve a body towards a world champion, muscle and neuron genes are very important to control muscle ability.
Muscles will endure against aging, but the ligament metabolism lows down by aging. Thus, champion gymnasts are always under 20, or even under 15. Anyway, I never intended to become a world champion, but gymnastics is always in my life. I always do stretching exercise, jumpings. Even at my 50 years old age I do gymnastics to have a healthy body. I am planning to create a gymnastics saloon not for only world champions, but for regular people so that they could jump over trampoline.
Unfortunately, most exercise places never has such equipment to jump, to move legs hanging down from body, etc. Some current parrot system primitive educational learning systems  blocks intelligent body muscle work programmers from the field.
I am very busy in my work field, I wish some people will open better exercise saloons for people from any age. Jumping without a soft landing such as trampoline will hurt foot. Using recent fabric technologies I believe better trampolines will be made,they will be safe for any age group exercisers.
Many current muscle exercises intend to enlarge some local arm muscle; but jumpings, or some special exercises will improve better cardiovascular system, lung rib muscles etc.
Trampoline requires large clean rooms, large buildings, empty spaces, is expensive, but it helps to workout some muscles. An exercise saloon should have ropes hanging down from the Ceil, so that one could hold them while making fast kicking movement etc. Fast high wide open kicking/jump movement is not only for legs but also for healthy lower trunk muscles. It will give a correct/young spine tone. If I have time from my other web sites some days, I will draw these described movements/exercises with associating targeted trunk muscle groups, and selected speed for each movement.
My motto to built sports saloons is 'sports is for anyone, not for only champions'. The best performers of sports, champions are the ones to prove the extreme safest limits for human tissues, muscles, neurons, physiology, limit of human body. Watching champions also helps to understand the weakness or strenghts of any body to select suitable sports. Champions are good standards of their sports fields to compare normal bodies. Gymnastics and swimming are my favorite sports to watch if I have time.

they were not called music composers but secret server workers

If the work of outstanding composers are stolen by some people who in reality hates music,then music composers will not even survive or we will never learn how a real composer is. How a real composer creates music.
In music history some songs such as Ave Maria was composed without any instrument but with human voice(my guess by a sad woman). In history most big music pieces are created by string bearing musical tool, comparable to violin etc.
The violin player did not necessarily know to write all the songs as musical notes. They passed the songs to other generations by hearing the songs.
Many time each instrument player made some changes on the music. Then when the instruments all fabricated within the same standard, some scales some detailed definitions formed and used as musical education.
The birds never know notes but sings, and composes outstanding pieces sometimes. humans make more complicated music, I mean living creatures like music,when we are angry our voice changes,this is also music.
Any human in a way is  composer when talk. We do not call it music, but politicians always has some sort of music in their voice. I myself like having a tone in my voice whether it helps to express myself better or not.
A composer is not necessarily the one who write a music piece in notes. Writing music as notes in history sometimes called as composing, but it was wrong.
Sure, if it was not the notes the classical music could not reach its richness, but if someone who is better in writing notes in history called composer, and the real composers ignored to take their credits then it harms music.

The event voice witness reporters, in other words composers would mimic the fighting people noise by violin etc. In old days as a matter of fact musical instruments were rather used to tell the events as if a language. For example, during a war, a musician(reporter) would watch the war, and when back to home would use any musical instrument to repeat the voices happened. The war witness who could use the war data to compose music did not call himself/herself a composer, but a reporter.For example, if the army in war had some metal weapons then the music would be different, or if the army would walk in night the music would be different, or if the army was looser and going back the music would give sorrow etc. They would not do it really to make music, but they were using the instrument to describe how the war happened.
Now we have cameras tape recorders we do not need use any musical instrument to mimic the noises or voices any event.


Most of the classical music I like are from such possible dates. Meanwhile although some of my favorite musical songs seems associated with some composers I BELİEVE, we will never know their real composers, because they did not call themselves composers, but reporter of the events. Some manipulated/edited versions when written on note by educated/talented musicians they were called their composers but they were not.
I am not the only one who thinks that some old music compositions have really high quality or distinct richness to touch feelings. And at present despite all the developed technologies there are not such pieces. Composing music can not be done by playing on piano scales, but rather feeling the life. Composing music is creating a distinct musical skeleton structure. Editing the main structure may take time, but it is the main part what we call creation. Each instrument player may also have their own slightly different version. Most music pieces are from history for violas or string instruments not for piano. Arranging an viola music for piano or for another instrument is not composing. arranging A MUSİC PİECE FOR A CLASSİCAL ORCHESTRA İS VERY İMPORTANT, difficult but it is not composing.
orchestra arrangement of a classical music piece is almost creating it, may change the song so much so better, but it is not composing. Even today many hit song skeleton are from ancient times, arranged perfectly.
Many times, scales of instruments restricts the composing capacity to feel life. Any instrument lacks many voices, a composer should be able to memorize at least 200 İNSTRUMENT VOİCES(think that only a viola has thousands of different voices from stick angle or speed usage).
Birds are a good example of limited musical instrument. Birds have a narrow octave scale, whereas good human singers has at least 3 octave interval.
If we assume that piano is in its perfect level, I say that at present we have really perfect piano performers, but we do not have many perfectly-composed-and-arranged music pieces for piano. I like string instruments, because they remind human voice better, but the usage of stick can not be explained by notes, is hard to describe, is hard to describe by mathematics, orifı would describe it mathematically no performers would like to benefit from such equations; thus piano is restricted but more scholar, more paper stored. A tall woman arm will not draw, move the bow of a violin as another human do. So how a violin teacher teach a student is a problem. Or the violin size,  human body size match needs detailed mathematical calculations. A violin performer will not benefit from musical notes that much, because the movement/dance of the bow can not be documented on note.
In future musical schools will have better methods to teach students. But, as I always say humans are not equal, just studying will not give a good pianist, or violinist. Human body muscle type, fat type and neuron types, genes determines the talent in musical instrument playing. Maintaining a healthy body is not easy for a player. Musical instrument players should eat good food, exercise their whole body by walking in fresh air in their free times.
I found many talents on youtube.com, but there are many misleading videos next to a musical queen/real-talent. I recognized some of them with composer ability, but life is short and they seem prefer staying a player rather than a composer. None will pay to a composer. Because composing is a project, but playing is measured immediately. I am not going to give the links here because I am not sure if the videos are forever or temporary.
My music interest is not money related at all. I enjoy music, listening to music is a good way to have a resting time for me, when I studied/worked for some years there happened times that I did not have time to listen to music but, though I never memorize the lyrics of the songs in my mind there stored thousands of song melodies, I am good to fill melodies even if I only hear some part of a music, the main structure of a song is the part I learn at first. Then I edit. I am not bad to read/write notes as a help to sing songs, I learned it by some music courses, some weeks. Recently, on İNTERNET I found THERE ARE good free sources to write and read notes if needed. I also have a free laptop music computer software program to play music if i have time. I have small hands, many pianos are big to my hands. I never learn any song if ı do not like it. A music worker has to learn any song regardless of her/his like. I hardly have time to sing, but I believe singing helps to have healthy lung if sing in a fresh, warm clean air loudly. The version of a song to teach it and the version to listen to is not the same. Some people will simplify the songs to its skeleton, I like to hear such versions to learn it. Such versions are rather slow. Thus, a good musical instrument teacher is not always the one who plays the musical instrument at correct fast speed. A music teacher is good to play cutting less important parts of a song. Whereas a good performer is good to play any note as required without skipping correct time/note. Anyway, a good instrument player is a teacher in a way to prove that there is a very good version of a song.

For example, a piano student will learn the skeleton of the Moonlight Sonata from Beethoven if listens to this; it is slow, the skeleton is there, but some notes are missing.
Whereas, if an advanced virtuoso wants to entertain the listeners by playing piano, should excel in piano as Valentina L. performs 
Valentine's speed, her hands flexibility, her interpretation of  Moonlight Sonata is rare for centuries. She not only has strong flexible hands, tall fingers, best regenerated neuronal stimulation (genetic neuronal  transmission talent ) as a virtuoso, but also is gifted to add missing notes to the composition, i call that her creativity, composer potential. I never liked/listened to Moonlight Sonata-Beethoven prior to the Valentina's interpretation. None plays Moonlight Sonata-Beethoven notes better as she does.
  

  I believe music keeps brains better as if a screen saver of a computer keeps the screen of computer better. If my eyes are tired from reading, my ears will convey music to my brain. Reading is my favorite, but listening to music will not tire eyes or ears.
I do not listen to music when I read/study, but when having a resting time. Music is good to humanity.
..
Sometimes the speech of an important person(A king) is converted into a song. For example the Adele song 'rolling in the deep..' to me is a description of some feelings of an ancient  king, whose country were damaged by enemies, his family killed etc. when he /she was a child.
The rhythm, melody of the song tries to give the revenge decision feeling of the king, the song is not describing a war scene, but a desire to damn the enemies who hurted his family, city, a desire to have a revenge.
The song by Gaga Alexandro is again associates with a King biography whose country is occupied with others. The song opens with the sorrow feelings, then the difficult alone tortured times especially for a high class person, for a king described, the King lost. The young handsome king is in escape, his life is in danger, and he hides that he is a king. The story of the king in the song never reaches to a happy end, it gives deeply sorrow feelings.  The lyrics may sometimes give the story, but my interpretation of music is not based on the lyrics.

My favorite song Amadeus is a war scene description, the gist is; a big army equipped with the best tool wins the war.
The feelings of the notes are: Some bad people attacks to a well developed country and damages it, not because they had better war tools but they just abused the trust of the big king. Then the big king with its big army smashes the bad people to nothing. The big King's magnificent splendid army is in all full duty not because they needed such a big army to win a war against such a small bad people, but the big King regrets that he was too peaceful against these thief liers.

Mozart 40 th symphony is not a war song but a description of good happily daily life after all enemies are defeated, beaten to inferior to get the reward.

A classical song 5th symphony bethowen class is again a war scene description. But, different from Amadeus. In this song the war is between two group which have blood relations, both sides are almost equally powered, the winning part to win the war even kills its own relatives, the winning part is the newly emerged kingdom, the loser part is the former longest time owner of the land country.
The winning army second to head head heads/chiefs are somehow sorried that they killed their own relatives. The brain army power of the two sides carry same blood, but the winners have some lower class people from unknown genes.
Rod Stewart - Sailing song is from a time that entire Europe related seashore was a country/government, the wars are over but sailing is not easy. The sailor uses his products in exchange with some other seashore products. There is a very big seashore from east to west government with many islands and the sailors are important part of the government to exchange products from different places.    
The GLORIA by laura branigan (she is not the composer but interprets it perfectly) is also my favorite song, this song is from very ancient times. The winner side who owns the glory song, is superior to the other side by brain power, the loser side may have same tools, may have even more number of soldiers, but the winning side has the most intelligent head of the world with his/her respecting group. His ideas leads them to win the war. The losers do not have any brain for any strategy. The looser side is comparable strong bodied brainless animals, if not the whole army, the winner chief is a genius and his/her soldiers are in respect of this brain power.
I found the song on youtube.com but the original record is better to give voice octave ranges of Laura.
One of my favorite song Boccherini: Minuetto (classical) is nothing to with war, it is a song from people who has some technologies, who works in a governmental regulated country. They have stocks some possible bad days. It describes daily happinesses, some daily activities.

Csardas is from East Europe. It is one of my favorite song played by violin. It describes a female who has a soprano pitch as a voice, and is very intelligent, peaceful, and solves wittily scientifically the technical problems of life. The rhythm of the CSARDAS is questions and answers in flow.

as long as yasni(Yasni.com related sites) exist on internet if anyone says that there is law on internet only lies

as long as yasni(Yasni.com related sites) exist on internet if anyone says that there is law on internet only lies. Yasni.com takes my name from internet without any technical or legal basis and abuses it to tag some unknown photos from flicker.com.
None knows why flicker .com exist on internet, it i for nothing but for yasni.com illegal activity to abuse names. flicker .com should be shut down forever, because their users only shares the crime of yasni.com, and they do nothing to prevent yasni.com from harming legal rights.

The interpaly between google.com and yasni.com(A germany associated company) on internet is for nothing but to prove that both yani.com and google.com image results will violate any legal right , will attack any person using their stupid technology. I understand that yasni.com never is a technology that has any value but that google.com has a good technology background it is a shame for google.com image search engine that it exist on internet to prove that internet is an illegal place to harm anyone via yasni.com. You can not report google.com that it steals a name and pastes it on an incorrect photo. Yes, google.com has forms to report such an error but google.com does not read them.
Google.com should remove any image result activity and go on with its other search engine activity. Google.com search engine as a whole has some problems, but it is MOSTLY google.com image search engine that harms legal rights that much. Fck the stupid workers of google.com image search engine for abusing my name, my legal rights that much. Google.com image search engine only is proving that its legal team is fckng fulll-of stupid people who does not UNDERSTAND SOME TECHNİCAL İMPROVEMENT TO MAİNTAİN LAW. THEY ARE BRAİNLESS AND ONLY WANTS TO FİLL HOURS, in reality they are not aimed to maintain a general justice on google.com search engine.
Yasni,.com itself is an illegal place to pity on its technical level, it has nothing to do to make its existence known, but to harm people rights. I pity on such web sites that instead of demonstrating a perfect technology, they rather show themselves by harming people rights, byt their thief behaviour. Yasni.com is not only illegal but also technically terribly bad place. There are other places google.comimage search engine found spam, yasni.com is not found as a spam, because yasni.com is stealing yahoo.com/flicker.com photos or other site photos that google.comm is not allowed to visit. Google.comis not stealing the things , but yasni.com is stealing them for google.com image search engine. but google.com could be better ,if only would have former dead valuable engineers.
