Fitness over-arches a number of physical skills we can improve on, including things like stamina, coordination, balance, strength, speed, agility and so on. Each skill has particularly specialised characteristics which can be improved through consistent practice, trial and error; however, when it comes to sports which require you to hit certain weight criteria such as powerlifting and boxing, it's widely misunderstood how you should go about altering your training in order to drop body fat and maintain/gain strength.
For instance; people may think that a boxer should incorporate more runs into their training regime in order to burn more calories, when instead they could just increase the time they spend sparring which will have the same effect in burning calories and be more beneficial to their sport.
Fundamentally, the way in which you train for a certain skill (which in this case, we'll be looking at strength) does not have to be changed in order to burn body fat; although, by increasing the intensity it's possible to burn more calories in a shorter frame of time.
Ways of increasing the intensity of your strength based training could include taking shorter rest periods, or incorporating more working sets.
Training for Strength |
+ Losing Body Fat
As for losing body fat, the method used by people who train for strength is identical to the method used by those who train for hypertrophy, endurance or any other physical skill.
Your total daily energy expenditure (TDEE) will determine whether or not you burn fat (bearing in mind you have an effective split of macronutrients), so as long as you're in a caloric deficit you'll be able to lose fat.
Your training method should not change dramatically when in a deficit of calories, however it's natural to feel less energised than usual when training due to your body lacking in the usual amount of calories it consumes.
Training for Strength | Beginners
When training for strength as a beginner, it's likely that you'll be able to make strength gains while losing body fat for the first few months, especially if you're overweight, however this is not sustainable.
More experienced? For those who are more experienced and are in a caloric deficit, it's possible to maintain your strength or even possibly increase it slightly while losing fat but only for a couple of weeks until your body adapts to having a lower intake of calories and your testosterone decreases slightly.
This will also depend on your actual body fat percentage; the higher it is to begin with (for example >25%) the easier
it will be to maintain or gain strength while losing fat, as there is a greater percentage to lose. As for those who already have a lower body fat percentage (for example <15%) the likelihood on maintaining strength is less, and gaining strength even smaller.
Minimise strength losses
In order to minimise the amount of strength you lose, I would suggest using a creatine supplement. Creatine Monohydrate is the most commonly used form of creatine which is also very cost effective.
It enables increased physical performance in short-term, highly intense bursts of exercise (such as strength based training); by supplementing 5g per day creatine will definitely help you maintain as much of your strength as possible.
In terms of specific training methods for strength you may want to use, methods such as the popular "5×5" or "Wendler's 531" have numerous positive reviews. It's definitely worth noting that while you may lose a slight amount of strength while trimming body fat away, once you begin to eat in a surplus you should see a spike in your performance due to your elevated energy and testosterone.
As well as this; cutting fat usually takes less time than gaining muscle, which would suggest that the period of time you're in a deficit for should not be very extensive; a good way to measure your rate of fat loss is by factoring -500 calories from each day which equates to 1lb of fat per week (3500 calories).
Training for Strength | Summary
If you're looking to gain strength, the easiest way to do it is in a caloric surplus, however if you're following an effective strength training programme and a personalised nutrition plan which splits your macronutrients efficiently, you may be able to maintain your strength for longer or even make slight gains in strength for a short period of time while losing body fat.
However, it must be understood this is not sustainable for a long period of time.
For optimal results, cut down on body fat while sticking to your programmes until you're at a happy body fat percentage (which may result in you losing some strength gains) and then alter your macronutrient intake into a slight surplus and watch your body fat percentage closely, making sure you don't over indulge on food and increase your body fat percentage unnecessarily.
Take Home Message
Maintain your consistency in training throughout all alterations of your nutrition.
This should enable you to gain strength while putting on minimal amounts of body fat!

What could be more beautiful than a hand-written letter?
Letters present you a unique opportunity to go crazy and creative since they can be easily shaped, fashioned and linked to one another.
The fascinating magic of letters is that you can curve, lengthen and accord them in whichever way you like, in whatever representation or symbolism you want to impart.
This is precisely the reason hand-lettered logo designs never go out of style.
There's something quite liberating with designing logos using hand-written letters. These logos are:
- Organic – They are structured using fundamental and raw lettering.
- Sexy – There's sensuality in creating something with the hands.
- Personalized – Every hand-written design, from the minuscule line to the glaring slopes, represents something of its creator.
The overall process, from the raw design and its imperfections to the flawless end-product, tells a story usually more fascinating that the actual logo.
There are hundreds of hand-lettered logo designs right now, thanks to the creative minds of calligraphers, old-school letterers and logo design dabblers.
You can create your own hand-lettered logo design if you do the following:
- Pay attention – Although individuals who study topography obviously have an edge, you can start by paying attention to letters. Notice loops, tails, lines and strokes. You don't have to know everything all at once, but make sure to observe, distinguish and learn.
- Study – The cyber world is teeming with free and paid calligraphy tutorials you can invest in. Try free trials first to test your skills. Then go from there.
- Practice – If there's one thing newbie design dabbles and seasoned calligraphers have in common it's this: practice, practice and more practice. Perfection isn't the main goal of practicing, but rather, the progression of your skills in hand-lettering designs.
Pay attention, study and practice to create your own hand-lettered designs. But in the meantime, enjoy these amazingly sexy logo designs.

Elizabeth AcLand, one half of interior design-duo E & A Interiors, invites me into her Emerald Hill shophouse to talk expat moves, design passions and why her home will never quite be "done".
Emerald Hill. Even the name has an aesthetic ring to it, and the prospect of having a nose around a shophouse tenanted by interior designer Elizabeth and her fiancé Tim means expectations are high.
From the outside, their home exudes all the typical attributes of a beautiful shophouse. Inside is an interesting mix of classic British and European furniture, combined with Elizabeth's boho-chic, and some eye-catching patterns and pops of colour from the soft furnishings and reupholstered furniture.
Elizabeth and Tim arrived from the UK in April 2013, and stayed at the Park Royal serviced accommodation on Beach Road while hunting for a place to live. They first looked at apartments, but after visiting her friend Millie Heath's house on Killiney Road, Elizabeth's heart was set on a house.
"I can see why people would want to be in an apartment, but I couldn't stand being on a high floor. We don't particularly miss the amenities, such as a swimming pool; but we are becoming members of the Tanglin Club – more for when friends and families visit than for ourselves."
When they first saw the two-bedroom home on Emerald Hill, it hadn't been lived in for almost a year. "It looked so depressing; there were piles of leaves in a corner, and for people who don't have much vision it would have been a 'no'." But the couple saw promise and made an offer.
Walls having been given a lick of paint, and the floors cleaned, they moved in with their belongings, including furniture mostly brought over from the UK. "We purchased a number of pieces from Lots Road Auctions in Chelsea, London. I do find it a lot harder to track down unusual furniture and antiques here," Elizabeth says, although she does mention Hock Siong and Aphorism as preferred haunts.
Business in Design
At the same time as moving, Elizabeth was also job-hunting. Having come from a senior designer position at Veere Grenney Associates in London, she was of course keen to continue her career in Singapore.
"I was worried about having nothing to do, so I had various interviews with interior designers when we first came for a recce. Tim and I aren't married, so I had to get a work pass, and was eager to find something as soon as possible." After meeting designer and stylist Chlöe Elkerton in Singapore, Elizabeth bumped into her again at a series of design fairs on a visit back to London. It wasn't long before the idea for E & A Interiors was conceived, and the two women became business partners.The company now has a studio on Kim Yam Road, a 15-minute walk from Elizabeth's home. It carries a wide range of soft furnishings from a range of designers, and offers services from re-upholstery, curtains and other soft furnishings, up to full project management. Its numerous fabric and wallpaper brands include Peter Dunham, Gwyneth Paltrow's "go to" fabric designer, and the new head of Oscar de la Renta Home, Carolina Irving.
Rules of Engagement
Having never actually lived together in the UK, Elizabeth and Tim's move to Singapore signalled more than the typical kind of adventure for expats. Things have obviously worked out well, as Tim proposed on a visit to Elizabeth's family home in Kenya in November last year.
"We were staying at my granny's place on the coast, which is my favourite spot on earth. There's no electricity, and at the end of the week there was a full moon, which literally lights up the place. That's when he proposed."
So, after a successful first year in Singapore, what's on the horizon? More home improvements, by the sound of it. "I'm never really finished with my own home," says Elizabeth, "and when new fabrics come in I have more ideas about what to change next."
Elizabeth's Recommendations
Travtus Workforce. "Great handyman service for all your odd jobs."
3158 7474
Aphorism. "Great furniture pieces from France, many of which have an Art Deco influence."
8168 9060
Hock Siong. "For furniture finds to revamp and turn into treasures."
6281 8338
Vaughan Lighting. "For beautiful lighting."

A little long, the road to Fulness.
The Fulness of God. What is that? What does that mean for me?
Colossians 2:9
"For in him (Christ), dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily."
The "fulness of the Godhead bodily." ???
The Names of God Bible says simply:
"All of God lives in Christ's body."
All that The Deity ever was, is, or is going to be, is fulfilled in Christ. The Love, Joy, Majesty, Compassion, Judgment, Power, Light and Life.
The Mercy, Grace, Forgiveness, Sanctification, Justification, Salvation. It all resides in Jesus.
Jesus created all that was created, under the direction of the Father, by the Power of the Holy Spirit. He is the all in all.
Colossians 2:10
" And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:"
Are we really complete in Him? Do we have a clue, what that means?
We are complete, forgiven, blameless… covered by His love, His blood, we have all we need, to be victorious, to be bold, conquerors.
So why aren't we?
"For it pleased the Father that in him (Jesus) should all fulness dwell;" (Colossians 1:19)
It also pleased the Father, for Jesus to:
"To present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:" (Colossians 1:22)
Do we know these facts, that we are holy, unblameable, and unreproveable in His sight?
We need not cower in fear, before a great and awesome God… we are the righteousness of God, through Christ Jesus, His son.
As long as we walk with Him, we are accepted in the beloved, but that's not all.
There is more, accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, not only are you saved and set free from sin and death, not only are you holy, unblameable, unreproveable, sanctified, and forgiven .
We have a destination, a place He would have us travel to.
"Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:" (Ephesians 4:13)
The unity of the faith… What is that?
The 5 fold ministry, is to bring us to this unity. To give us the knowledge of His love, His power.
Matthew 22:29
"Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God."
We will not attain this unity, this knowledge, we will not become the perfect man, we will not attain the measure of the stature, to attain the Fulness of Christ.
Until we accept the Full Council of God. Not just Salvation, Grace and Mercy.
We must become a people of Power. A people the Lord can trust, to use His unlimited Grace and Mercy, to effect change, in the world.
"To know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God." (Ephesians 3:19)
Jesus is the FULNESS OF GOD, He would have us to be FULL OF GOD, ALSO.
God is not just a God of pretty words…. He is still a God of Power, a God of Signs and Wonders, and Miracles.
The 5 fold Ministry, is supposed to bring us to this place. It hasn't.
Why not? Because living in the Fulness of God, is not easily attained. It isn't just getting saved, reading the Word and living our lives.
It requires us to submit to the Holy Spirit, to Draw us to Him.
Ephesians 3:16-21 (AMP)
"May He grant you out of the riches of His glory, to be strengthened and spiritually energized with power through His Spirit in your inner self, [indwelling your innermost being and personality],
so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your faith. And may you, having been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in love, be fully capable of comprehending with all the saints (God's people) the width and length and height and depth of His love [fully experiencing that amazing, endless love];
and [that you may come] to know [practically, through personal experience] the love of Christ which far surpasses [mere] knowledge [without experience], that you may be filled up [throughout your being] to all the fullness of God [so that you may have the richest experience of God's presence in your lives, completely filled and flooded with God Himself].
Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen."
The Spirit is able to bringing whosoever is willing into the "Fulness of God." If that is a desire of your heart.
All of God resides in Jesus, who would have us, to allow the Fulness of God, to reside in and guide, direct and protect us. To allow His will to be done today, as it is in heaven.
John 1:15-17
King James Version (KJV)
"John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ."
Psalm 16:11
"Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore."
The promises of God, we are offered the Fulness of God, Saints, that includes the Power of God, the Love of God, the Comfort of the Holy Spirit, the JOY of the Lord.
Will you allow the Holy Spirit to Lead you to that place, of perfect Love, Grace and Mercy.
When we arrive, we will find, signs, wonders and miracles are following. Amen

CSU at UNC Asheville
Kimmel Arena – Asheville, N.C.
2 p.m. | Live Stats | ESPN+
CSU Notes (PDF)
CHARLESTON, S.C. – February was a very kind month to Charleston Southern with the Bucs claiming a 5-2 record in their seven contests with three of those wins coming wire-to-wire.
The Bucs have a chance to win their sixth contest over the past eight tries and collect a season sweep over the UNC Asheville Bulldogs. A win would be their second sweep of the year after downing USC Upstate in both contests.
CSU's defense has been lockdown as of late holding Gardner-Webb to just .288 from the floor in a win Tuesday night and holding five of their past seven opponents below the 60-point mark.
Shelby Wilbanks and Breannah Bretches have turned it up a notch since conference play began averaging above 12.0 points per contest. Wilbanks' 22-point, 11-rebound effort pushed her to a team-best 12.7 points in Big South play and she's the fourth Buccaneer averaging 10-plus points across the full season.
Last Time Out
- Paced by a 22-point, 11-rebound double-double effort from Shelby Wilbanks, the Charleston Southern women's basketball team defeated Gardner-Webb 66-58 Tuesday from the Buc Dome in Big South action.
- Wilbanks' second career double-double headlined a CSU (10-16, 7-8 Big South) offense that saw 14 from Breannah Bretches and near-double figure nights from Ahlea Myers (nine points) and Rachel Burns (eight points) while the defense held the Runnin' Bulldogs (14-14, 8-8 Big South) to just .288 from the floor.
- The Buccaneer defense showed up early holding Gardner-Webb to just 19 first-half points, including seven in the first 10 minutes, while pulling down 43 rebounds and holding the Runnin' Bulldogs to just .227 from beyond the arc.
- Gardner-Webb had a late rally scoring 26 in the final quarter, but the Bucs posted 23 points of their own to prevail and collect their fifth Big South win of the month.
Scouting the Bulldogs
- UNC Asheville has only lost two games at home this season - a three-point loss to Hampton and one-point heartbreaker versus Radford Tuesday night.
- The Bulldogs are led offensively by Jessica Wall's 10.7 points per game while Nadira Evans adds 9.1.
- In their first matchup, Evans and Wall scored 41 combined points accounting for nearly 70% of the Bulldogs' points in a 70-59 CSU win. Evans had a game-high 21 in the loss while Wall added 20.
- CSU clamped down defensively allowing only four assists on 18 made field goals while stealing eight passes and forcing 19 Bulldog turnovers.
- Brooke Jordan-Brown leads the Bulldogs with 6.4 rebounds per game as the Bulldogs sport a +5.2 margin - tops in the Big South.
A Win on Saturday Would
- Give the Bucs 31 all-time wins over UNC Asheville, tying for the most versus a single program in CSU history.
- Give the Bucs a season sweep over the Bulldogs.
- Be their sixth win over the past eight games.
- Bring the Bucs back to .500 on the season in conference play and matchups with Winthrop and Longwood to follow.
- Be the third 1-0 start to a month this season for CSU after a 1-0 start in November and 3-0 run in February.

EP1. Live Your Happy Podcast: Why Everyone Has An Opinion On Network Marketing
It's here! It's here!! The first episode of Live Your Happy: a Podcast for Authentic Network Marketers.
I've dreamed of creating this for you for over 2 years and i'm so proud to be able to share this with you. I wanted a way to be able to share, unedited and unscripted, what's on my heart each podcast and to light a spark of possibility for you too. Particularly for the Mums out there who are wondering, like I did, if this business is possible....how to be at peace with motherhood + business.....how to build a biz at home within the chaos of littles....how to grow and share your business in an authentic and aligned way so you don't become "THAT" friend who everyone avoids (ya know exactly what I mean).
This is real, unedited, unscripted. Just the goods on how to grow your authentic network marketing business and create a beautiful income as a result.
For those who prefer to read, a transcript of this podcast will be up for you this week.
:: My first business (swimwear) I started I spent $15,000 before I was able to actually sell anything (making samples, designing the product, marketing etc)
:: In my first swimwear business my product didn't even make it to the shelf because another swimwear company wanted to contend my trademark (and I couldn't afford the legal fees to defend it)
:: When I started my Network Marketing business, I paid only $330 for my first product kit and each month I pay between $150-$200 to get the best natural wellness products that I use in my home/life every day. Those are my only required business investment costs.
:: I made $30 in my first month in my network marketing business but after 8 months in my network marketing business I replaced my maternity leave salary (while actually on maternity leave....which meant having the choice not to return to work)
:: After two years growing my Network Marketing business, I'm now in the top 5% of leaders in my company, I now earn a double 6 figure income annually and my business revenue (sales) is currently over $2 million dollars per year (and growing rapidly).
:: I have successfully mentored leaders to earn 6 figures in their business too (and at least 6 of my leaders will be earning over 6 figures by 2018 - the absolute best part of this biz model is that we only rise when others do #TogetherWeRise).

Prostate cancer breakthrough: Combination of three plant-based nutrients found to MELT AWAY prostate cancer cells
An astonishing new study available in Precision Oncology established that a combination of three plant-based nutrients has the ability to "melts away" prostate cancer cells. The study, conducted by University of Texas researcher Stefano Tiziani, is entitled Combinatorial treatment with natural compounds in prostate cancer inhibits prostate tumor growth and leads to key modulations of cancer cell metabolism.
As explained in the University of Texas newsletter, this breakthrough innovation allows people to "starve prostate cancer with what you consume for dinner."
What are the powerful three natural nutrients? They are:
- Ursolic acid from apple peels
- Resveratrol from red grapes
- Curcumin from turmeric
"New study from The University of Texas at Austin identifies more than a few natural elements discovered in food, as well as apple peels, turmeric, and red grapes, as main ingredients that possibly will prevent the growth of prostate cancer, the most widespread cancer affecting U.S. men and a key area of focus during Men's Health Month, which public health supporters celebrate in June," reports the University of Texas at Austin. "Available online this week in Precision Oncology, the new paper uses a novel analytical approach to monitoring numerous plant-based chemicals as an alternative of testing a single agent as numerous studies do, finding out specific combinations that reduce in size prostate cancer tumors."
In addition explained in the UT article:
The new research paper furthermore reveals how the plant-based chemicals work mutually. Uniting ursolic acid with either curcumin or resveratrol prevents cancer cells from gobbling something that they require to grow, glutamine. This is an efficient solution: jamming the uptake of a nutrient required by prostate cancer cells with nutrients that are generally in the human diet.
Watch my video to discover more about this breakthrough and why the cancer industry does not want you to gain knowledge of this discovery.

We've heard over and over and over how a Blu-ray movie player add-on for the Xbox 360 was a distinct possibility if the HD DVD format ended up losing out. Well, now that the Microsoft-supported format seems just one step away from dead, we're hearing rumblings of just how possible that Blu-ray player possibility is.
Citing "insiders at Microsoft in the USA," Australia's Smarthouse says Microsoft's Blu-ray add-on is already fully designed, and could be on the market within three months, "subject to internal marketing and sales approvals." Smarthouse also repeated the rumors of a built-in high-def drive for the system, although now that rumored drive plays Blu-ray discs instead of an HD DVDs. Regardless, the tech site seems to think Microsoft will focus on digital movie downloads for those who don't want an add-on.
As for Sony, they couldn't be happier that Microsoft is considering jumping over to the "winning" side of this HD disc battle. "We would welcome Microsoft to the Blu-ray stable," SCE Managing Director Michael Ephraim told Smarthouse. "In fact it is quite logical for them as the PS3 has been very successful in driving consumers to Blu-ray. In fact we believe that it has done more to win the format war than traditional Blu-ray player." Hey, they just won a format war … they can afford to be a little smug.

This is the 2nd post in a new reflective "Sharing a Story" series, where I tell the stories we never told about our year on the road tied to a picture.
Jay and I both got our start camping through backpacking. We learned to pack light and be self sufficient. Forgot your fork on a trip? Just whittle a new one from a nearby stick. Hail or high winds? Huddle in the tent and play cards until it passes or until your tent is carried away.
Before our year on the road I had not done a lot of car camping (where you drive to a campsite and put up your tent near the car). It took a period of adjustment for it to feel ok and not shameful to retreat to the car to get ready in the morning or read a book in safety and silence. The first time that we really took advantage of the car was at this campsite pictured above.
It was actually our second time staying in the primitive campground at Leasburg Dam State Park in New Mexico. Our experience was so positive on the first try that we were relieved to be passing through the same area and able to camp in the same spot. We set up our tent on a nice sandy flat spot and then went about setting up the kitchen and preparing for dinner. Just as Jay was putting the fajitas on the cast iron, the sun was starting to set and our peaceful new home was invaded.
Out of these tall bushes swarmed millions of little flying bugs. They didn't bite, but they were so thick that you couldn't see through the middle of the swarm and if they flew past you, you would get a mouthful of bugs. I was grossed out and we were shouting over the swarm, trying to decide what to do. Dinner was almost done but it was getting dark and Jay needed to use a headlamp, which meant that the bugs were swarming under his headlamp and getting into our food. Jay covered the cast iron with foil to let it finish cooking bug free and I gathered up some plates and forks and retreated to the car. I turned off the interior lights so that when he opened the door the bugs wouldn't follow him into our car. There were already several lost bugs that had rode in on me and were now wandering the cab as I tried to swat them.
That's when Jay got a genius idea. He took our Goby Flashlight with magnetic feet (pictured below) and attached it to the rear of the car pointed away from the kitchen area. A diversion! The swarm fell for it and hovered around the light, giving him just enough time to pull the cast iron and jump into the front seat of the car to safety. Even still, a few bugs got in, but we were able to swat them pretty quickly.
Once we were in the safety and comfort of the front seat, Jay served our dinner (with the cast iron resting on a hot mitt on the dashboard). We ate in silence, trying not to notice the extra bits of protein in our fajitas. To us it felt like a small victory – we escaped the swarm – but only by retreating to the car. Which meant the next battle lie right outside, between us and a nice night's sleep.

As Norm Coleman gets set for a recount in his bid to hold onto his Minnesota Senate seat, it's worth considering where things stand on the allegations that surfaced in the waning days of the campaign about Coleman's relationship with his friend and longtime associate, the businessman Nasser Kazeminy.
Here's what we know:
Late last month, in a suit filed in Texas, Paul McKim, the former CEO of Deep Marine Technologies (DMT), alleged in a sworn statement that Kazeminy — who owns DMT — directed him to make payments totaling $75,000 to the Hays Companies, a Minnesota insurance brokerage that employs Coleman's wife Laurie Coleman. The payments, claimed McKim in the suit, were not for legitimate work performed by Hays for DMT, but rather were a way for Kazeminy to funnel money to Coleman.
Soon afterwards, a group of DMT investors filed a separate suit naming both Kazeminy and McKim as defendants, and making similar allegations.
Since news of the suits surfaced in late October, none of the principals has offered responses that have put the matter to rest.
Coleman has vehemently denied the charges, and even cut a last-minute TV ad suggesting, with little evidence, that the campaign of his opponent, Democrat Al Franken, was behind them. And yesterday, when a progressive Minnesota watchdog group that ran ads attacking Coleman during the campaign held a press conference at which it called for investigations by the FBI and the Senate Ethics Committee into the matter, Coleman quickly said in a statement that he would welcome such probes, and that he wanted them to start "immediately." (Coleman's Senate office did not immediately respond to a detailed message from TPMmuckraker asking whether he has already been contacted by investigators.)
But neither Norm Coleman nor Laurie Coleman have offered details on the nature of her work for Hays.
Neither has Hays. Soon after news of the allegations broke, the company put out a statement calling the charges "libelous and defamatory." It said that Laurie Coleman "has been an Independent Contractor for Hays Companies since 2006," but offered no further detail on what she does for the company, beyond saying that she "receives no compensation related to the services we provide for our client Deep Marine Technology."
What are those services? Again, the statement was vague, saying only: "In the first half of 2007, we were retained to provide our risk management consulting services, and that work continues at this time."
As for Kazeminy, after initially remaning silent, he eventually hired a top Minneapolis-based crisis management expert, who late last week issued a tautological denial on his behalf: "Mr. Kazeminy vehemently denies the false and baseless claims made against him in recent weeks."
It's also worth noting that Norm Coleman and the Hays Companies may not have been on the same page about the arrangement between the firm and Laurie Coleman – a former model and actress who, according to state records examined by TPMmuckraker, only received her insurance license in October 2006. As we reported earlier this week, Norm Coleman wrote on his Senate disclosure forms for 2006 and 2007 that Laurie Coleman receives a salary from Hays – which would appear to contradict Hays' assertion that she's an independent contractor.
And according to FEC records examined by TPMmuckraker, Hays has been a frequent financial contributor to Coleman's Senate campaigns.
We may have to wait for possible law-enforcement or congressional investigations to get to the truth about Coleman's role in the alleged scheme. But it's certain that, barring any compelling explanations from any of the principals said to be involved, questions about the affair won't be going away any time soon.

As I said on my renewables summary page there are many 100% renewable papers out there, and the Vox summary article is a good place to start. 100% renewable papers are written by people just as concerned about climate change as I am, and with the best of intentions. But their anti-nuclear presuppositions force them to believe that they simply must make renewables work, at all costs!
On this page I will collect reviews of the most famous 100% renewable scenarios that I come across in my online experience, starting of course with Australian papers.
BZE: Australia's Beyond Zero Emissions argue they can quickly decarbonise Australia's energy with 100% renewable energy and extreme energy efficiency. How extreme is that energy efficiency? Ted Trainer explains that they project we'll use less than half the energy we'll actually need by 2050.

Using only the most advanced technology, we employ our unique four-step method to clean and restore your surfaces.
Step One: Pre-Treatment
We use eco-friendly, deep cleaning solutions to loosen the ingrained dirt that has built up over time, because simple mopping or vacuuming won't remove it.
Step Two: Pressure
Depending on the surface, we pre-select the correct cleaning water pressure, ranging from very low on more sensitive materials up to 3000psi on more resilient surfaces, to penetrate and agitate the toughest dirt and prevent any damage.
Step Two: Heat
Our patented floor tool applies heated water at 200+ degrees to assure thorough cleaning.
Step Four: Vacuum
At the same time the water is being applied, it's vacuum-extracted through the same tool, removing not only the excess water, but also the vast majority of the soil load.

The music get louder, the night darkens, the crowd gets rowdier as they chear on. She moves her hips from a pole to the next lost in her nastiness or is it her drunkenness. The alcohol has obviously taken a toll on her right and sense to reason. Once in a while her drink spills from her glass but she doesn't care.
Out of nowhere she decides that they should do something more adventurous.
"Let's go to a strip club" she blurts out.
"What?" Her friends ask in unison.
"Yea". I want to know what those ladies possess that we don't."
"Are you sure?"
"Let's go."
Who doesn't love strippers? In no time she's scrambling her drunk ass out of the club with her 'girlfriends'. The engine fires up, the directions are fed into the vehicle's navigation system, lipstick is redone, bras adjusted and the dresses get tighter and shorter. The excitement in the vehicle is indescribable.
Why would girls be excited about seeing the naked body of another woman? That's a rhetorical question.
As the vehicle moves towards the strip joint, the streets become more deserted and the lights get dimmer as they leave sanity behind and enter the sinful sides of the city. The night is chilly but some are sweating from the dancing happening in the vehicle from the surround system thats part of the Uber automobile.
In no time the inner side of their forearms are being stamped in an ultraviolet stamp that's only visible in darkness. To the naked eye it isn't. The place is packed. Thirsty, sex starved guys sit at tables surrounding the sripper poles and at the far end of the front array of tables they spot some seats and head there.
The poles are 5 and in all of them there is a girl feeding the darkest fantasies of the revellers.
On stage is a tall dark haired, light skinned girl announcing what's on the menu for the night.
There's the VIP and the regular menu. VIP apparently is for the more adventurous type. Its the project X section of the establishment since no one comes out a virgin or starved. I doubt there's any virgin who goes in. The regular section is for the reserved, amateurs or generally broke guys who can't cough up the 300 dollars charged as entry to the orgy section.
As soon as the 'mc' leaves the stage, a girl, 23 or so kickstsrts the adult hour since it's midnight. She has her braids covering a quarter of her face but her eyes are pulled back. She is cute in a sorry kind of way. Every part of her body is slim from her face to her long sporty ebony legs.
On one side of the stage is a water bucket. She dips a white cloth inside and uses it to cleanse the pole of demons and evil spirits. She then runs her small hands the entire length of the pole feeling its slippery nature and in the process evoking some rushed breathing from the most starved men in the hall. All eyes are on her.
The ladies watch on. Learning. Listening. Breathing. Some yearning.
She uses the attention to her advantage. Her not so there ass rolls from side to side, up and down as she rests her hands on the pole feeling, getting lost in serving humanity…

I've decided to start blogging. Maybe. I figure I'll use a +/- system to rate my day, and I'll update only when something interesting or catastrophic occurs, or if I think of something terribly witty. I probably won't write in full sentences, but instead I'll opt for a Bridget Jones-esque narration of events.
Here are 2013's highlights:
+ Gallbladder removed after years of annoyance
--- Six degrees of complications: sphincter of Oddi dysfunction, herniated disc, piriformis syndrome with sciatica, so on and so forth
+/- Physical therapy to address decondition due to illness - now I exercise daily
Wow, last year left much to be desired. Before becoming ill I had aspirations of grad school and a future in cognitive rehab, but now I'm not so sure. This year my goal is to do something everyday to improve my life. Whether it's getting an MRI or writing a blog post, I want to start living my life again.
Hmmm, what else? Any given day you can find me slaughtering Nazi Zombies in Call of Duty, digging in Minecraft, and frolicking around Skyrim. Also, my current project is scanning photo negatives and making digital photo albums. Oh, and watching Dexter with equal parts fascination and horror. Basically, nothing remotely productive.
I've been procrastinating re: writing this post. My motivation: the PowerBeats by Dre giveaway! Here are my questions (comment once daily!)
BLOGGERS: Is there some sort of secret Fight Club rule about blogging? How do I get sponsors? How do I communicate with companies? What about earning money? Tell me everything you can. What posts are your favorite to write?
NON-BLOGGERS: What keeps you coming back to a blog? What convinces you so follow a blogger? What types of posts do you like reading - fashion, advice, reviews? Lots of pictures, lots of text?
Please feel free to ask me questions, too!

SEATTLE, Oct. 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 2nd Watch has earned the 2018 Triple Crown Award from CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company.

"Congratulations to each of these high-achieving companies, which have raised the bar for success in the IT channel."
"Earning the CRN Triple Crown Award two years in a row is a terrific accomplishment," says Jeff Aden, EVP at 2nd Watch.

Hull begins his essay with Marx's 'Jewish Question' in order to speak about nationalism. Hull asserts that Marx is not the first to speak of nationalism. Benedict Anderson finds evidence of what is called the 'nation' in the middle ages. Marx believes that to formulate a question properly is to answer it, which is to say that to answer a question is to disperse it into other questions. Thus, when the nationalism question is answered, the question turns on a responsibility to the ghosts of non-present or partially present cultures. Not only is an inheritance, as Derrida would say, among the voices of Marx, but to betray that voice, as Marx does, explains his failure to adequately formulate the nationalist question. (more…)

I'm glad we're talking about ghosts. I really am. I think the meaning and significance of ghosts might tell us nearly everything we need to know.
It is also an occasion for reopening a question about Derrida's specific meditations in Specters of Marx: is the consideration largely, or even completely, Eurocentric? (more…)

To commemorate the 40 years of their passing out which coincides with the Diamond Jubilee of the Vidyapith, the Ex students of 1977 Batch have donated Rs 2,52,001 to their Alma Matter for educational sponsorship of 6 girl children from Classes V to X of adjoining villages of Vidyapith every year from the interest generated out of the Corpus Fund donated by them.
The suitability of the underprivileged girls will be decided upon by the Vidyapith authorities and the scholarship be handed over to them on the morning function held every year on the Teachers Day at the Vidyapith auditorium.
The Association extends its heartiest congratulations to the Ex Students of 1977 Batch.

It's always wonderful to watch a body-shaming troll get shut down online — and 24-year old model Lesego "Lee" Legobane is the most recent body-positive activist to do just that with four simple words: "I don't like you."
After Legobane discovered that her photo was included as part of an insulting side-by-side meme titled "Girls I like vs Girls that like me" on Twitter, Legobane responded with her now-viral tweet.
The South African body-positive activist, who tweets under the handle ThickLeeYonce, told BuzzFeed News that she felt the need to respond because "He [Twitter user Leyton Mokgerepi, who was the originator of the meme] had to know his place, so I decided to reply because I felt he was being rude."
Her clapback set the Twittersphere into a frenzy, garnering the likes of celebrities like Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj and Ava DuVernay among more than 770,000 likes and counting.
The type of meme created by Mokgerepi is a popular mechanism of social media body shaming by comparing two people — who more often than not are women — and declaring one as the ideal while implying that the other is "less than."
This contributes to an already strong trend of policing women's bodies on social media and otherwise, where everyone from everyday women to celebrities like Beyoncé and Selena Gomez are picked apart and compared with others based on their looks. Even Rihanna has dealt with online trolls — and her response to fat shamers was perfect. On the other end, men that show interest in seemingly "imperfect" women are praised for the simple act of being attracted to their significant others.
"I hate it when men think that fat girls are desperate and that we like every other guy 'cause we don't have options,'" Lagobane told HuffPost. "It's utter nonsense. I can be fat and still be out of your league."
In Mokgerepi's case, he went on to tweet Lagobane's photo a second time, calling her "girlfriend goals" and seeking redemption through the use of a few too many fire emojis. When talking to HuffPost UK, he maintained that he did not mean to shame "big girls." "I'm a good guy. I didn't mean to make her feel bad about herself," he said. He also sent the publication a photo of a plus-size woman he previously tweeted, saying "I have mad love for thick honnies." Boy, bye!
The masterful shutdown is the latest conversation starter in an increasingly body-positive environment. As women continue to showcase pride in who they are, brands are also taking note. This season's New York Fashion Week saw an increase in body diversity and the introduction of anti-chafing thigh bands on the runway, and Kmart recently announced the renaming of its "plus size" department.
Stay positive out there, ladies. And if anyone tries to make you feel small, here are nine ways to clap back. Remember — it's not you, it's them!
What Do YOU Think?
Did you enjoy Lagobane's response? Should there be a wider conversation about body shaming on Twitter? Have you ever gotten shamed on social media? How did you handle the situation? Let us know in the comments section.
