About the Book
Everyday life at the towns of Bamako and Mopti. Crowded markets, lively streets. The night falls, shadows are running away...
Kids are playing at the river Niger. The feeding, irrigating, transferring river Niger: A place to play, to swim, to wash, to sell, to sail, to live…
In Djenne, the Monday market gathers, under the shadow of the mud-made Mosquee, all kinds of goods and faces from the surrounding villages…
So deeply religious, the Timbuctoo Muslims pray together, to bring Allah closer…
So young in heart, the crazy old Dogon dance to chase and celebrate death. Drums are echoing in the night…
Disease, war and hunger? Yes. Yet, everyone seems happy…
Naturally. We're in AFRICA

"The former executor, Tassadar, was commanded to halt the Zerg's progress in the Terran Sector by burning the infested human worlds." -Judicator Aldaris, briefiing Executor Artanis Prior to the Sons of Korhal attack on Tarsonis, the standard procedure the Protoss used for dealing with Zerg-Infested worlds was by sterilizing the entire planet from orbit. This process is called Purification by the Protoss.
Purified WorldsEdit
- Chau Sara: Mentioned in the campaign and shown in the intro.
- Mar Sara: Purified after the evacuation of the Mar Sara colony.
- Antiga Prime: Purified after a Psi Emitter placed by the Sons of Korhal summoned a huge Zerg Swarm.
- Braxis: Purified after rescueing and de-infesting Vice Admiral Alexei Stukov and slaying a Cerebrate.
After the purification of Chau Sara and Mar Sara, it was discovered that the Protoss orbital strikes had caused the mineral deposits to gain unique beneficial qualities. This lead to the two planets being recolonized by the Kel-Morian Combine.

Fundamentals of Biostatistics
Thomson-Brooks/Cole, 2006 - Science - 868 pages
Bernard Rosner's FUNDAMENTALS OF BIOSTATISTICS is a practical introduction to the methods, techniques, and computation of statistics with human subjects. It prepares students for their future courses and careers by introducing the statistical methods most often used in medical literature. Rosner minimizes the amount of mathematical formulation (algebra-based) while still giving complete explanations of all the important concepts. As in previous editions, a major strength of this book is that every new concept is developed systematically through completely worked out examples from current medical research problems.

By Elizabeth Weise, USA TODAY
The discoverers of leptin, the hormone that regulates appetite, are the winners of this year's Lasker Award for basic medical research. The clinical award honors a doctor whose treatment restores sight to people blinded by a common eye disease. The special achievement prize goes to an Oxford physician for work aiding children afflicted with an inherited blood disorder.
The Lasker Awards, known as the "American Nobels," come with a $250,000 honorarium. The awards "identify a pivotal point in thought processes relating to medicine or science and technology," says Mark Richardson, dean of the Oregon Health and Science University medical school.
This year's winners:
Douglas Coleman and Jeffrey M. Friedman
The 2010 Albert Lasker Basic Medical Research Award
Coleman, 78, is at the Jackson Laboratory in Bar Harbor, Maine. Friedman, 56, is at Rockefeller University in New York City.
Coleman in the 1960s began studying mice with odd metabolic problems that resembled what happens to obese humans. He found evidence of a genetic mutation that produced a substance that restrained the appetite. Then, in the mid-1990s, Friedman found and isolated the protein made by the human ob gene, which he named leptin for the Greek word for thin, leptos. Further research showed that fat cells produce leptin, which curbs food intake.
Napoleone Ferrara
The 2010 Lasker-DeBakey Clinical Medical Research Award
Ferrara, 54, of Genentech Inc. in South San Francisco, in 1989 discovered Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), a chemical produced by the body that aids in blood-vessel formation. He then went on to invent an anti-VEGF antibody therapy to treat wet age-related macular degeneration, one of the leading causes of severe and irreversible vision loss in the elderly.
David J. Weatherall
The 2010 Lasker Koshland Special Achievement Award in Medical Research
Weatherall, 77, is a Regius professor of medicine emeritus and retired honorary director of the Weatherall Institute of Molecular Medicine at the University of Oxford.
Weatherall began work on the blood disease thalassemia in the 1950s. It took 20 years to understand its biochemical basis. An inherited, recessive disorder, thalassemia causes the body to make abnormal hemoglobin molecules, resulting in anemia. Weatherall developed tests and clinics worldwide for affected children. More than 100,000 babies worldwide each year are born with the most severe form of the disease, according to the National Institutes of Health.

The Best Places To Make Out
Your bed is a logical place to make out. It's comfortable, it's private, and if the make-out session leads to sex, there will be no need for awkwardly getting up and walking to another part of the house. It's no wonder most of us think of our bedrooms when it's time to get busy. However, if you've only ever made out in beds, it's time to push your boundaries and get frisky out in the world. Here are our top places to make out. Read more …

CES: User Generated Media session
The first "knowledge session" I attended at CES 2007 was User Generated Media: An Internet, Communications and Advertising Transformation. It was really informative. My notes from the session aren't complete but I'll try to reconstruct as much of them as I can here. Some of my own thoughts have slipped in.
User-generated content is providing the voyeuristic view that traditional producers of media wouldn't approach. Consumer generated media isn't new though. Remember Rodney King? That event basically was the video tape beating. That user-generated video generated the story back on March 3, 1991. Skip forward to today and the power of user-generated content is shown again in the Saddam execution video. The "official" videomolded and edited to serve an authority's purposewas quickly supplanted by the grainy camera phone video that exposed the taunts and chaos of the situation. That camera phone video is now the version people know of that event.
We're also seeing the emergence of very high-quality video pieces now that the technology that used to be only in the hands of "professionals" has become affordable to the masses. One example shown of non-professional content produced by a student on his/her computer was Dollface. You can see it here below.
Given the power of user-generated content and the production values it is now capable of, we need to ask ourselves the question, how does this change the rules for media and advertising producers? Advertisers need to follow their potential consumers wherever they happen to go. Where are they going with their eyeballs consuming content? They go all over the place. The problem with so much content in so many different situations is that there has got to be some guarantee that the client who is buying advertising associated with that user-generated content is represented correctly.
When a new technology comes along, it seems "spectacle" is the first forms of expression that happen there. "Storytelling" comes later. Initial attempt in film were just spectacle pieces, showing off what could be done with the technology. The storytelling came later. We will probably see user-generated content go in that direction too.
When we ask for users to generate content for a brand, we are going to get the people who are highly motivated by that brand to respond and it will be really informative to see their perspective. People want to tell their story. They sometimes want to express themselves using the world they live in which is filled by lots of copyrighted material. There needs to be more effort trying to rectify this problem. We're asking people to live with our brands and they're taking us up on that request and they are going to use them to express themselves when they create content about their lives.
Here's the official CES description of the session as well as the participants.
Description: What's the real future of entertainmentuser-generated media or traditional TV comedies or sitcoms? What, in greater number of hours per week, will capture the consumer's interest and committed time? Is it a fad? This session explores user-generated media as a phenomenon, as a business and as a communications and entertainment medium.

Homestyle restaurants strive to make food just like your mom made it—in an oven. Witness them nail it with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $10 for $20 worth of soul food
- $20 for $40 worth of soul food
Guests savor a menu of homestyle Southern eats such as fried chicken ($13.50), deep-fried or grilled red snapper ($13.50), a catfish burger ($8.25), or gumbo ($15).
Dorsey's Locker
In 1941, Wilma and Henry Dorsey opened a modest family eatery on the corner of 18th and Market in West Oakland. Over the next four decades, devoted family members transformed the place with a relocation, the addition of a cocktail lounge, and the construction of a beautiful wooden bar. Today, Dorsey family members remain the sole shareholders of a bustling restaurant that celebrates their Texas roots with country-style meals of fried chicken, catfish, gumbo, barbecue ribs, and sweet peach cobbler. A rotating weekly menu makes fresh additions to the slate of hearty, homecooked food with such dishes as chitterlings and smothered steak, while sides of collard greens, yams, and black-eyed peas garnish every dish with Southern panache.
Far more than a mere restaurant, Dorsey's Locker also treats guests to a full bar and lineup of live entertainment. On Sunday nights from 6 p.m until 10 p.m., the restaurant waives a cover charge for live R&B and jazz music. Open mic events each Tuesday show off the hidden talents of friends and neighbors, while Monday, Thursday, and Saturday-night karaoke provides a socially acceptable outlet for singing a love song to a plate of breaded pork chops.

DEFINITION of 'myRA'
A new tax-advantaged retirement account introduced by President Barack Obama in January 2014 – and launched by the Treasury Department in 2015 – as a way for lower-income workers to save for retirement. It costs nothing to open an account and workers can contribute as little as $5 per month. The maximum balance for a myRA is $15,000.
BREAKING DOWN 'myRA'
Because many employers do not offer retirement plans and because most traditional and Roth IRAs have account-opening minimums and minimum additional deposit requirements that lower-income workers often can't meet, President Obama introduced myRA to give workers who weren't served by the existing retirement savings plans an easier way to start saving.
A myRA account is similar to a Roth IRA in that workers make contributions with post-tax dollars, but contributions grow tax-free and distributions are not taxable. Once the myRA's balance exceeds $15,000, the worker must roll it over to a private-sector Roth IRA. By the time the account has reached that size, it will have already met the account-opening minimum for a Roth IRA.
People can set up automatic contributions from their paychecks – or from their checking or savings accounts. At tax time, they can also direct all or part of their federal tax refunds to their myRA accounts.There's no cost to employers. They simply share myRA information and set up payroll deductions for employees who sign up, or tell them about other ways they can fund their myRA accounts. Contributions are invested in Treasury bonds, which are considered safe but have historically low returns that don't always exceed inflation rates. However, the government guarantees the principal in these investments, so workers should never lose their invested principal. The accounts have no fees.

On, June 30 2015 the discovery of two ionic crystals in the deep sea caused the scientific world to go into shock the crystals covered in antinamsis(An4) a rare metal and oinx(O9) a type of reactive compound. The major problem was that when added with any other reactive compound the ionic crystals should have caused a shift in the polar end of the planet.
While, this discovery was a very important one to science to the public it was small, until the creation of the TSC(Terran Space Commission) which was tasked with all topics doing with space for the entire world given to them by the UN.
With, this discovery science started many breakthroughs including the Husten-Gravt drive (HGd), a advanced propulsion system which utilized ionic currents in the space which bended the Andres-phinelct plane. The cause rapid distortion and allowed a bend in space time.
This allowed the TSC to create the first ever space armada which at the time consisted of 20 fighter ships without the HGd and a small frigate about the size of two common airplanes in with and the titanic and a-half in height.

Environmental Accounting and Reporting
The last two decades have witnessed an increasing global concern for the harmful long-term impact of industrial activities on the environment and, subsequently, on the financial performance of a company and the economic growth of a country. This has led to a growing demand from various stakeholders for the measurement of a company's environmental activities and impacts, and subsequent public disclosure of this information. As a result, a new area of accounting has emerged: environmental accounting. Environmental accounting at the corporate level deals with the identification, measurement, recognition, and disclosure of environmental costs, liabilities, and contingencies in the financial records of a company for the benefit of various internal and external stakeholders. This book provides a broad introduction, covering environmental accounting, environmental reporting, and environmental auditing, as these are interrelated and form a very important part of a company's comprehensive environmental management system. The book also assesses the need for a separate regulatory framework to specifically address these issues.

Anna has a big birthday coming up and is planning the party to end all parties, but fate is determined to ensure that getting the guest list right is going to be traumatic. Ordering the canapes becomes fraught when just weeks before the big day she spots Jane, the catering queen, dallying on the doorstep of a man who isn't her tragically disabled husband. Then there's her best friend Glynis, a city lawyer and fashionista who has suddenly become broody, and the kids: the eldest, James pining for his lost love, off to university in the Big Smoke. And what of Anna's own lost love, Mack, the bad boy she left home for? This time when he turns up he wants to take them all back with him to the sun, sand, and surf of Hawaii. It seems that deciding on the guest list won't be the year's biggest question after all.

We advocate the super-set training method. A super set is when you string multiple sets together to form one continuous set before resting. We advocate super-setting exercises that strengthen different muscle groups (such as pushups and pull ups). By combining multiple exercises that target different body parts prior to resting you do two things:
1. Alternate between activating opposed muscle groups. This creates a natural rest period for one muscle group while still maintaining your workout tempo.
2. Ramp up the intensity of your workout because your body truly is resting less and exercising more efficiently. You are getting twice the workout in half the time and maintaining an elevated heart rate for a prolonged period of time. Think about it.
This exercise demo provides a backwards-ladder approach using the powerful push-pull (PPP) methodology. Slot it into your workout as a grand finale or do it 3–4 times for a full workout on its own.

You might not know the name Nicola Formichetti, and yet even the least fashion-savvy among us is sure to have seen his work.
The 37-year-old Japanese-Italian designer got his start as a columnist for Britain's Dazed & Confused magazine, becoming creative director there in 2008. The following year, he styled then-newcomer Lady Gaga for V magazine, leading to a partnership that helped establish the singer as an international fashion icon. (Formichetti was responsible for looks like the instantly iconic "meat dress" she wore to the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards.) Teaming up with the pop star also propelled Formichetti into the fashion stratosphere.
Despite his lack of formal design training, Formichetti landed coveted positions with big labels. In 2010, he was appointed creative director of French fashion house Thierry Mugler, where he oversaw a successful brand revival. The next year he added fashion director of Japanese fast-fashion brand Uniqlo to his resumé and launched his own pop-up shop in New York.
But it was in 2013 that Formichetti would take on his most significant project to date, as artistic director of Diesel, the Italian denim brand turned multibillion-dollar global lifestyle giant.
Founded in 1978, Diesel was the first company to bring the concept of "premium denim" to the masses, leading to massive success in the '80s and '90s. By the 2000s, however, as purveyors of high-end denim crowded the market, Diesel began to fall out of favor with younger consumers. But today, the edgy, sometimes shockingly original Formichetti is working to restore luster and relevance to the Diesel name—all while launching his own magazine, starting his own fashion line and becoming an ambassador for none other than Pepsi.
Adweek caught up with the busiest man in the business to talk about the mammoth task of retooling a global brand, the industry's love affair with celebrity (and stubbornly slow embrace of digital technology), and why you won't find any miserable-looking models in his ads.
Adweek: You were named artistic director of Diesel
almost exactly two years ago. Overhauling a brand that big is a major undertaking. How has it gone so far?
Nicola Formichetti: Yeah, it's crazy. It's already been two years and I feel like I haven't even started. I didn't know that it was going to be this big. Everything I do, it's all about my gut feeling. If I get a good vibe or good feeling, I just go for it, you know? I don't really think about how to fit things in my schedule. I'm crazy busy, but I still have time to go out and have fun and go to a restaurant or go jogging. I feel like I still have spare time—so I can add a couple more projects, you know? [Laughs.]
But yeah, the Diesel thing was a little bit … it's actually getting bigger and bigger because I'm getting really into it. For the last two years, I've just been rebuilding from within—looking inside the company and at the 35 years of history, talking to the owner Renzo [Rosso], and really finding out what was amazing about Diesel and what was wrong. So now the exciting time happens because now I feel like I have an amazing army of people I can trust within the company, and now we can really go global.
What were your biggest challenges in terms of rebuilding the brand internally?
Normally, if you get a job at a brand like this, what you do is you go in and you change everything. You basically cut out all the old and then bring in the new, right? That's the formula that other people are doing. But the way I started with Diesel was that I met up with Renzo and I really kind of fell in love with the way he was living his life. We had this connection and I just thought, wow, it would be amazing to work with this incredible entrepreneur for the next part of my life and really learn about business and creating this big empire. I was a big fan of Diesel in the '90s—I mean, I couldn't afford it because it was very expensive at that time for me. So we talked about how the company became so big and global that it kind of lost its touch, its relevance, and he said to me that he really wanted me to come on board and bring back that spice, that coolness that Diesel used to have.
When I first visited the company in Italy, Renzo showed me all of the archives, all the amazing stuff that they used to do. And I was like, you have all these amazing things here, so rather than just really starting everything from scratch, I just wanted to refine it and reboot it. It was about reintroducing the DNA of Diesel, which was all about denim, leather, army surplus and sportswear. All the collections I've been doing for them have been all about these four big elements, so that was kind of a starting point. Then I had to find out who were the right people within the company.
Tell us about Diesel's retail strategy.
I'm about to launch a new concept for the stores. The first one will be in New York and then Milan. If the concept is amazing—and I'm sure it will be—then next year we're going to roll it out to all of our stores, more than 300 all over the world.
So do you think that the global expansion of the Diesel brand diluted its identity?
For sure. With licensing, it's a big money maker, but at the same time you're kind of selling your name. And so what Renzo's done is he's basically buying all the licensees out so we can control the whole thing. For example, what we're doing with the watches and the sunglasses and the perfume is great because we have a really good relationship with all those different partners. But you have to have control over it.
Until last year, you'd see those big stores on Broadway [in New York] where they sell T-shirts and they'd have Nike and Levi's and the big red Diesel logo. So we're not using the red logo anymore—we are only using the new black and white logo, and we're keeping the red logo as more of a history. I might use it again for something later, but for now we want to keep everything very streamlined and make it more specific for the new generation of Diesel.
What changes have you made design-wise to appeal to the new generation of customers?
Denim was all about editing what's right, what's the right shape and what's the right treatment, you know, because sometimes at Diesel we can just be a little bit too overwhelming with so many different washes and shapes. We're selling in so many different countries and there are different needs for different countries, so in the end, we have this humongous collection of denim. It's almost like a supermarket.
With the [apparel] collection, including the leather and sportswear, it was about keeping all the iconic shapes and key pieces and kind of refreshing it. I don't see Diesel as a high-fashion brand—it sort of fits in between high fashion, casual and high street. I call it the new alternative area. High fashion pushes trends, but with Diesel I want to create a stable wardrobe that is right today and will be right next year.
Since Diesel reached its height in the late '90s, so many premium denim brands have entered the market. Has that made it a lot harder for the company to compete?
Yeah, for sure. In the '90s, Diesel was the first one to basically bring much more premium denim [to the market], but it also it had really incredible advertisements, like the famous David LaChapelle ones with two guys kissing. And that made Diesel super cool—it had both the new product and the very edgy marketing, which was a very unique thing at that time. And of course, over the last 20 years, things evolved and everyone is doing crazy advertisements now and everyone's doing denim. So yeah, it's a huge challenge that we have.
For me, it's very, very important to always [focus on] new denim technologies. We're constantly thinking about what could be the "new" denim, like the new Jogg jeans we created a couple of years ago, which are basically a jogging pant that looks like denim. And then, of course, the marketing campaigns are super important. I always try to do something different and new every time I work on the images.
Tell us about the current Diesel campaigns.
The #DieselHigh campaign is by my favorite photographer, Nick Knight. Basically, [the concept] was very simple: I just wanted everyone to smile, because you never see people smiling anymore in campaigns. They're either very cool or upset looking. I feel like Diesel is much more about inclusiveness and not exclusiveness, so I just wanted to have a group of boys and girls just having fun and laughing. There's so many horrible, negative things happening at the moment in the world that, at least where I can control, I just want to have some people smiling.
We also have another campaign out right now that's specifically for Jogg jeans, the jersey-denim hybrid. I worked with this artist that I found on Instagram named Doug Abraham [@BessNYC4] who has this incredible account where he does these collages of hybrid things, so since I had to promote the idea of hybrid jogging and denim, I asked him [to create art for the campaign]. It was super cool to work with a digital artist that I found on Instagram. And that's the beauty of Diesel—you can do this kind of stuff because they're very open to trying new things.
Speaking of Instagram, you were an early adopter of social media, which you actually spoke about during a talk at South by Southwest this year.
It was very inspiring because I love social media and I love the digital world, but I never talk about it in detail. It was really interesting for me to look back. I mean, I started with Myspace! Remember Myspace? [Laughs.] My first-ever job was with Alexander McQueen, when they launched the McQ brand. It was kind of a secondary line, and I remember going on Myspace and casting specific types of people [for a marketing campaign], and that was about 10 years ago.
At South by Southwest, the big topic was Meerkat and Periscope, which blew me away. I got so excited. I was like, oh my God, how am I going to use these for what I'm doing? So I just started using them, and I like both—I love the spontaneousness of Meerkat and I love the logo, but I also love that with Periscope you can just install all your videos and people can see your old videos, almost like a diary. I cannot decide which one's better yet. [Laughs.]
Do you see those as being something the Diesel brand could use for marketing?
Oh my God, for sure. I want to use it myself first and get the hang of it, but sure, it could be incredible. When I was at Mugler, before Diesel, it was a big thing when I livestreamed an entire fashion show, and now, of course, everyone does livestreaming. But with Meerkat or Periscope, every single person who is there can [have their own] reality show in a way. They can be livestreaming everything from different angles. I mean, if I want to go and see a concert, I can just follow all the fans there so I can see the concert from different angles. It's mind-blowing.
Have you tried out any of the new virtual reality headsets yet?
Yeah, of course, of course. [I've tried] the Samsung ones, and a director who makes films for the Oculus showed me one of his videos, and now I'm really thinking of using one for a fashion show or an event. It was like, oh my God, I felt like I was falling from the chair. It was a really beautiful experience. I mean, imagine what they're going to do with porn! You don't have to have a partner anymore! [Laughs.] It was that real, you know?
So do you think people will be livestreaming fashion shows in virtual reality at some point?
I don't think it's going to be that far away. And I want to be the first one to do it—I want to be the first one to do all that stuff. I feel like, in fashion in general, we are so behind. People have an Instagram account and they think they're digital. When I first joined Diesel, I launched this campaign called "Diesel Reboot," and I created a Tumblr account so that people could submit their work and start a dialogue with us. Tumblr told me that we were the first brand to create a Tumblr account on that scale. And that was only two years ago.
Why do you think fashion has been so slow to get into the digital game?
Because we have an establishment. Both the marketing side and design side are behind, I think. As far as marketing, I feel like magazines are still one of the only ways to communicate fashion, and I think that needs to change. I'm not saying magazines are dying, because they're not—you cannot go wrong with an incredible fashion story on paper. But we also should think of other ways [to communicate]. And then with the designing as well—we haven't really invented anything new since, I don't know, when did they start stitching clothes? I'm sure there must be a new way of binding two different materials, or maybe it's not even about fabrics anymore. I think that we can be much more advanced, and I'm always on the lookout for new things like that.
You actually just launched your own magazine. Tell us about that.
It's a high-fashion magazine that's free, and it's called Free. It launched in Japan [and is published in Japanese], and we're working with an incredible distributor, a big bookstore called Tsutaya. Normally when you think of a free magazine, it's like a supplement or whatever. It's very low quality. But what we've done is we've created a really high level of content, and we distribute it specifically to customers that we want to go after, which is [consumers age 18-40] who love fashion. It's very targeted. Now, I want to introduce a Free magazine for younger girls or a Free magazine that's more specific to art or a Free magazine for cars. I'm developing a new concept for a different kind of genre.
Do you think you'll launch international editions?
I want to do one in English very soon. We already have an offer [to launch an edition] in China. And, of course, you can see everything online on the Free magazine website, so I'm playing with the idea of the physical and the digital based on that.
Have you found that younger consumers still actually want to read magazines in their printed form?
Well, especially in Asia—Japan and China, the two markets I know well—they're still obsessed with paper magazines, especially the young generation. It's working amazingly well in Japan and hopefully in China, too. Other places, I don't know. Hopefully. [Laughs.]
Before you started working with Diesel or Mugler, you became really well known for styling Lady Gaga early in her career. What was that like? Are you still collaborating with other artists?
Gaga introduced me to the music world and the entertainment world, and for me, it was very new, so I kind of treated it as if I was doing a collection or as if I was doing a magazine shoot. And I think we created some of the most amazing stuff I've done, like the beautiful music videos and some of the crazy looks. I did that for four or five years, and then it was time to move on and concentrate on my own stuff with Mugler and Diesel.
Now that I have a little bit more time, I'm working with this young rapper called Brooke Candy. I really believe in her. She's going to release an album this summer, and I'm doing all her visuals, and Sia is the executive music producer. So she's not going to go wrong. [Laughs.] She's got a great look and great music. I mean, what else do you need?
Six years ago, it was a big deal for you as a high-fashion designer to be working with Gaga, but now it seems like every designer is forming similar relationships with up-and-coming talent.
It's crazy. You know, when I first started working with Gaga, everyone used to go against me, saying, "You work in high fashion, you shouldn't work with a musician." Back then, you could name only a few [artists] that were really collaborating with fashion designers, like Madonna with [Jean Paul] Gaultier and Bjork with [Alexander] McQueen. So when I first started borrowing clothes for Gaga, people said no. They were like, "Oh, I'm so sorry, we don't think she's right," or, "She's a bit crazy looking." So I made stuff, and we had young designers make stuff for us, and there were a few designers that were really into her from the beginning, like Alexander McQueen and Miuccia Prada. And that was how many years ago? Now, it's like [as a performer] you have to have a designer making stuff for you for the red carpet. And I love it. We're all one giant industry working on entertainment and fashion and technology.
Do you have any plans to work with any other musicians or celebrities for Diesel?
Yeah, last year we worked with Beyoncé on her tour. I made some crazy denim outfits for her. That was amazing. We also do specific tour outfits and red carpet [outfits]. That is my passion, so I want to go big on it this year. I'm still thinking about who else to collaborate with.
Are you still involved with Uniqlo?
Yeah, Uniqlo has been so supportive of me for eight years now. I'm still consulting with them. I love them. It's crazy to say, but I've been doing this for a long time now and I feel like finally I get to really enjoy what I'm doing for all the different projects. I mean, it's hard still because of the travel, but if you do something that you love, I think you get over that. I don't care if I don't sleep much. It's like going to a great party and partying all night because you love it with your friends. I'm still young, 37. I can go for another three years, five years, I don't know, 10 years! [Laughs.]
On top of everything else you're doing, you also have your own fashion line, Nicopanda.
Yeah, that's my baby! I suppose Diesel's like my day job and then Nicopanda's my weekend job. [Laughs.] But it's something I started with my brother in Japan. We started as a very small T-shirt thing, and last season we launched a full-fledged collection during New York Fashion Week and it's now the second season. I mean, it's crazy. It's doing so well because the price point is incredible; I just wanted to have clothes that my fans could buy so I kept [the prices] very, very reasonable. And it's unisex, so boys and girls wearing the same thing, which is very fun. It's my Japanese side that I'm exploring. It's very "kawaii" street wear. [Laughs.]
What's next for you?
The other exciting thing I'm doing is I was invited to be one of the ambassadors for the new Pepsi Challenge. They chose different people from different areas of the industry. I'm like the ambassador of design, and Usher is the ambassador for music, and there's also Serena Williams, the tennis player, and this young soccer player James Rodriguez, and my favorite, favorite social media person, this French guy called Jerome Jarré. So every month we'll give challenges to people and they'll get to win experiences and rewards, and for every #PepsiChallenge hashtag, Pepsi is going to donate $1 to a charity. It's great. I mean, it's crazy—I did a TV commercial with all these people in it, and I'm like oh my God, I'm going to be on TV! [Laughs.]
Going from being a stylist behind the scenes to someone who's starring in TV ads has to be a pretty big transition.
It's different. Like four or five years ago, I was so comfortable being backstage, behind the stage, doing my thing. In a way, the whole Gaga thing and Mugler kind of pushed me in front. I was shocked at the very beginning because I'm like, who are these people commenting on what I do? I wasn't really ready to be in front of people because I never planned to be a designer like this, or someone that people know. But then I slowly started seeing reactions from the few fans that I had, who told me that I was giving a positive message and inspiration to these young people, and that felt good, and I just want to keep doing that. So now, especially with Pepsi, I get to reach a much, much bigger audience on a global level. And I'm very grateful for that.

i've been reading about the master cleanse diet on other sites...is it safe to do? i don't know if i'll be able to go the full 10 days on nothing but spicy lemon juice, but i'm willing to try it. Has anyone done it? Did it work??READ MORE
how safe is the master cleanse diet?
This question has not been answered by one of our experts yet.
I can't answer whether the Master Cleanse is safe or not. I thought it was when I did it obviously or I wouldn't have done it! I can tell you this. I wanted to cleanse my body of all the "junk" and wanted to start over with a cleaned out system ready to start eating healthier. Iinitially I just wanted to do it for the 10 days, but when I got to the 10th day I decided to try for the 30 day maximum. I made it to day 23 felt fine physically but felt mentally starved. The first 2 days was hard but when I set my mind to continue it was easy. I am considering doing it again but now that I am in nursing school and understand a little more about health and illness I want to research first about possible negative effects of the Master Cleanse. I would suggest you do the same.
Bottom line was I lost 21 lbs in 23 days; didn't follow my intention to eat healthy after that and gained all but 8 lbs back, but unless I see something somewhere about really negative effects of doing this cleanse I will opt to do it again!READ MORE
I have completed this fast 3 times for 30 days each.....I love it!! My skin clears , my puffy eyes are gone....I look 10 years younger when I'm on it....I do not lose alot of wgt. but feel great.

No offense, but your press release is almost completely broken. Oh, I know you think it's perfect. But is there any other real reason why it hasn't been picked up yet? You can only claim "editor bias" for so long, you know.
Instead of worrying that everyone is out to get you, let's take a cold, hard look at your press release. You'll be surprised at the number of things you're about to find wrong with it, I guarantee it!
There's No News!
You've written a press release, so it's automatically news, right? Wrong! Just because you or your boss thought it would be a good idea to throw a release together doesn't mean what you talk about is actually news.
Try to be impartial when you answer: would you read your press release in a newspaper? Would you watch a story about it on the news or talk about it over dinner? If the answer is anything less than "heck yes!" then it's not news. Company mergers and new products? Probably news. Boss' son having a birthday? Probably not.
It's Vague!
Instead of explaining in detail what your product does, you thought you'd rather create a sense of mystery about it. So you came up with some interesting metaphors, found some colorful adjectives, and wrote the press release like it was a film noir.
Unfortunately, all you've done is confuse and irritate the heck out of your readers. This includes the editor of your small town newspaper.
Even if I am exaggerating a bit above (just a bit though), it's still important to look and eliminate any vague language in your release. If there's anything I've learned from writing over the years it's that there's always a more precise way to say what you want to say.
It's a Puff Piece!
I know it seems contradictory. However, you really shouldn't boast about your new product so much. Wait, stop laughing and hear me out.
The people reading this want to know why they should be using your product. This doesn't necessarily involve you talking about it like it's the greatest invention since bacon. Rather, the reader wants to know how it can help THEM, from their perspective.
Usually, this involves setting up some sort of problem your product can solve. Perhaps you have invented something more glorious than bacon – so what does your foodstuff provide that bacon does not? Therein lies the problem you need to solve. The common consumer wasn't getting something he or she didn't know they needed. Now, they can get it, thanks to your glorious product!
What are some ways you can fix up your press release?

Plus jocks. Because what good is working out if nobody sees. It's like if a tree falls in the forest and there's nobody there to hear it, does it make a sound? Okay, not that because yes it does because that's physics. Plus animals hear it. More like if a jock strap is stuffed to maximum and nobody sees it, then why the fuck didn't that person show it to me because I want to see it, dammit!?
For the record, I am still grateful that there's such a thing as PG-rated male flesh. Sometimes, softcore is everything. Leaves something to the imagination. But also, with a BLANK like that (and fill in the blank depending on which picture you're looking at above), my imagination has a lot to occupy it.
I was in a locker room with a no cell phone policy (as is smart) this past weekend. And some guy was browsing his phone in the sauna. I kept an eye on it and he never raised it up and I wasn't naked anyhow (unless he has some x-ray vision app).
So I was left with regret. Didn't he at least want to take my picture/ Am I not even worthy of violating the privacy of? Perhaps his memory was full with selfies. I'll keep an eye out.
Meanwhile, why can't I run into a guy mid-selfie in a locker room? I guess that's what 24 Hour Fitness if for. Makes it trickier.
Whether a jock at home or at the gym, I'm happy to take a peek. And sometimes more than a peek. I'll need to study that bulging jockstrap so I can pick it out in a crowd and say hi.

Every treatment has a prescribed set of rules to make it effective. While they may differ in some ways for different people, on the whole they are just the same. These methods make sure that the treatment is turning out just as it should and also helps to keep track of the progress of the effects. Same is the case with the HCG diet. If the users tend to digress from what they have been directed to do, the results will also differ from what they are supposed to be. Considering that it was developed by a doctor, the use of HCG drops should not inspire such mistrust.
Preliminary preparations
The technique of using the treatments can be defined as HCG 123. As so evidently stated, there are three steps to be followed in order to get the right effect from the HCG treatments. The first step begins when the drugs are first taken and the patient is expressly asked to eat more fatty food items for the first 48 hours. It may seem incongruous, but the process helps the body to acclimatize with the sudden emergence of hunger pangs that show up when the hormone begins reacting.
Stage-wise development of treatment
The preliminary stage of loading over the body is allowed to get acclimatised with the simple diet which excludes sugar, starch and most sources of carbohydrates. The first phase lasts anywhere between 23 to 60 days and helps to reset the metabolism. The second stage withdraws just the usage of hcg diet drops and aims at resetting the hypothalamus by making the patient eat well, but omits the use of starches and sugar for 21 days. The final stage of 21 days involves acclimatising the body back to begin the intake of all the carbohydrates it was not getting from food until then.

You've always forged your own path...with your own distinct perspective of looking at the world. Avalon Waterways presents a river cruise experience with your unique style in mind—offering expansive views and wider perspectives. That's why we've used our 89 years to design a cruise experience that's just a bit different. Here are just some of the features and amenities you'll experience on board our Avalon ships.
Welcome to Budapest, Hungary's lively capital. The remainder of the day is free to start exploring this exciting city.
Spanning the banks of the Danube, Budapest is one of Eastern Europe's liveliest cities. Whether you're seeing the sights, shopping for handcrafted embroidery or Herend porcelain, or basking in the coffee house culture over a rich cream cake in the renowned Gerbeaud Café, Budapest's unique energy is positively palatable. On your GUIDED SIGHTSEEING TOUR, see Heroes' Square as well as the massive hilltop castle complex with its remarkable Fishermen's Bastion and 11th-century Matthias Church, the coronation spot of several Hungarian monarchs. Be sure to take note of the city's eight bridges—many famous sights in and of themselves—which connect ancient Buda on the right bank with Pest on the left. You may even want to walk across Chain Bridge, built in 1849 and a symbol of Budapest. (Breakfast)
This morning, explore at your own pace. Perhaps visit St. Stephen's Basilica, stroll along Váci utca, or wander around the Royal Palace grounds. In the afternoon, transfer to your ship and meet your crew at a welcome reception. (Breakfast, Dinner)
Relax on board this morning and marvel at the scenery on both banks of the Danube. As you cruise upriver, Hungary is on your left and Slovakia is on your right. The two countries share the Danube for a 58-mile stretch, with the border in the middle of the river. At the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains is Bratislava, the dynamic capital of Slovakia. Join your LOCAL GUIDE to explore its fascinating Old Town, where winding cobblestone streets and narrow alleyways twist and turn to reveal the Town Hall, one of the oldest stone buildings in the city. Also visit gothic ST. MARTIN'S CATHEDRAL, coronation church for the Kingdom of Hungary from the 16th to 19th centuries. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
This morning, our first stop is Melk. Enjoy a guided tour of the magnificent 11th-century BENEDICTINE ABBEY, dominating the town from its commanding hill site and one of Europe's largest monasteries. The abbey church houses stunning frescoed ceilings, marvelous statues, a large organ, and an ornate library with a large collection of medieval manuscripts. The view from the terrace over the Danube and surrounding countryside is breathtaking! Then, grab a drink and relax on your ship's Sky Deck as you witness beautiful scenery on the way to Dürnstein, situated in the heart of the Wachau wine region and best known for the magnificent baroque Stiftskirche with its blue façade. Above town are the ruins of the castle where England's King Richard the Lionheart was imprisoned in 1192. Explore this picturesque little town on your own or choose from a number of optional excursions. You may even want to hike up to the castle ruins for magnificent views of the town and river. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
Once the center of the mighty Habsburg Empire, Austria's magical capital on the blue Danube is a showcase of gilded architecture. This is home to the lavish Hofburg Imperial Palace complex with its Vienna Boys' Choir and dazzling Lipizzaner stallions; the neo-renaissance Vienna Opera House; and awe-inspiring St. Stephen's Cathedral—plus, countless other sights you'll see during your GUIDED CITY TOUR. Stroll through the pedestrian Kärntnerstrasse, and be sure to take a break and enjoy a piece of decadent Sachertorte or Apfelstrudel in one of the classic Viennese coffee houses, historic institutions that helped shape Viennese culture! (Breakfast)
Enjoy a full day at leisure in this fascinating city! Perhaps visit one of the many magnificent museums or join an optional outing to the Vienna Woods. (Breakfast)
Your vacation ends this morning. (Breakfast)

Staying warm ain't easy this winter. Partly because the weather's really cold, but mostly because you just returned from spending three years in a tropical country where your entire wardrobe consisted of t-shirts, cargo shorts, and flip-flops. Yeah, you're not in a white sand beach surrounded by coconut trees anymore. And if you're ever thinking of picking up a jacket to help ease your existence in this biting cold, the Bosch Softshell Heated Jacket looks like it can be a sweet addition to your everyday cold-weather gear.
Armed with heating pads, it comes with warming cores on each side of the chest and another one on the back, raising the temperature under the jacket to spare you from the torturous cold. It comes with quick warmup and three push-button heat settings, with the ability to achieve desired temperatures within minutes.
The Bosch Softshell Heated jacket is a work jacket designed for heavy-duty outdoor use, complete with a high collar, adjustable sleeves and waist, and rain- and wind-resistance, so you can wear it at worksites and other exposed areas comfortably. It comes with two hand pockets on the outside, a cellphone-sized chest pocket, a large document-sized inside pocket, and a fifth pocket sized to hold the included 2Ah battery (6 hours of runtime, with an optional 4Ah battery upgrade). Aside from heating the jacket, the battery can be used to charge your USB gadgets, so they threw in a battery holster that clips to your belt if you want to use it for that purpose during warmer months.
You can get the Bosch Softshell Heated Jacket from Amazon, priced at $172.
