Well I Didn’t Know THAT About Coffee
Coffee can kill you! Experts have determined that if you can drink up to 100 cups in quick succession it could trigger a fatal heart attack or some sort of caffeine related seizure. Although this would be very difficult to achieve as the actual amount of time it would take to drink 100 cups of coffee would only be enough time for that much caffeine to keep you awake for a long time.
A coffee a day keeps the doctor away! Due to the variety of components in coffee, including a selection of anti-oxidants, the drink can be beneficial to your body, most importantly the digestive system. It’s about the same amount as you might find in a cup of tea, a tin of beans or a bananas but drinking too much will obviously have opposite effects.
Coffee can be a pain killer! Studies have shown that a small influx of caffeine can stimulate the release of endorphins which can block the receptors of pain; this was shown to work in muscular pain from exercise but not in cases of inflicted pain.
Decaf has Caffeine in it! Although only a small amount, decaf coffee actually contains caffeine. However you would have to drink up to 10 cups to get the amount in one cup of regular coffee.
You can lose weight with coffee! Despite containing stimulants and other ingredients, coffee does not actually contain any calories. This bears no relevance on what you add to coffee so don’t assume you will keep your figure if you fill up on double-grande-latte-mocha-chinos.
Coffee gives you perfect skin! Because of the beneficial anti-oxidants in coffee, some experts claim it is also good for your skin. The Japanese are known to cleanse in fermented pineapple pulp mixed with coffee beans even though there is no significant evidence to prove any of this.

Há tempos que ando a pensar em cortar o cabelo. Não cortar simplesmente as pontas, fingir que nada aconteceu mas fazer um corte grande daqueles, daqueles que se notam á distância. Faço isso algumas vezes, já tive o cabelo de três cores diferentes, pinto-o com frequência (em casa!) para não começar a ficar feio, há quem julgue que é um parafuso a menos (ás vezes) mas acho que sou viciada na mudança constante e já que isso não é possível em muitas coisas na minha vida (e em muitas situações até nem preciso de mudar), pelo menos no cabelo, que é meu, é! Já tive comprido e curto, direito e escadeado, com e sem franja (adoro franja!); gosto, mesmo, muito de mudar, tenho mesmo essa necessidade e acho que agora vou ter de o fazer novamente. Acho que é positivo querermos ficar diferentes, fora do comum, mas acho que há que ter noção de que, infelizmente, as reacções face ao que é “diferente” ou foram do senso comum ainda são muitas vezes olhadas de lado e isto não se aplica só aos penteados, especialmente no nosso país onde acho que, comparativamente a outros países europeus que já visitei, a pessoa diferente vira “estranha” e é tratada como tal. Por isso, e voltando ao tema dos penteados, acabamos, muitas vezes, por optar pelos mais simples com diferenças, mas muito subtis, e que ao menos dão para as pessoas repararem sem julgar negativamente. Acho que todos temos um pouco de vaidoso, até mesmo quando optamos por vestir roupas mais simples, desde que tenhamos um penteado giro ou estejamos, no mínimo, penteadas (com o nosso corte normal) parece que ficamos logo com melhor aspecto. Quando não estamos ou quando perdemos ainda tempo antes de sair de casa mas o “sacana” do vento estraga ,em poucos segundos, tudo e nos deixa com o cabelo no ar (ainda hoje me aconteceu isso) nunca nos sentimos tão bem e a cada reflexo que vemos tentamos ajeitar o cabelo novamente, eu pelo menos sou assim. Tudo isto para dizer que acho que a maioria das pessoas (e até eu mesma), óbvio que há excepções, leva muito a sério o que outros dizem e pensam sobre si. Gostaria mesmo de acreditar que só vou cortar cabelo pela minha necessidade de mudança mas acho que também é para ouvir aquela pessoa especial dizer que “estou tão gira”. Não quero saber, desde que me sinta feliz e que fique sempre bem para “a fotografia” é o que interessa!
Three Styles Of Project Management
The majority of people involved in projects are aware that project plays a big part in a project’s success, but not so many are aware of the many types of project management that you can adopt for your particular project. Here I give a beginners guide to the three main methodologies, so you have an overview and can research any that are of interest.
Traditional
Traditional project management takes a phased approach, with a particular sequence of steps being carried out which lead to the completed project. There are usually five components to a project when this methodology is adopted and they are initiation, design, creation, monitoring and closing, although not every project will go through every stage and many projects will require additional stages, such as pre planning or concept designs. When related to software development traditional project management is often referred to the waterfall mode.
Critical Chain Project Management
The critical chain methodology puts more emphasis on the resources needed to complete a project as a whole and the tasks that make up the project, and applies the Theory of Constraints to project management. Critical chain project management varies from traditional in the way any uncertainty is managed. In traditional PM uncertainty is managed by over-estimating the time something takes, starting tasks as soon as possible and multi tasking, whereas in the critical chain model managing uncertainty is achieved by using averages to estimate durations, scheduling backwards from the required completion date and using buffers to allow room for movement and control the project plan.
Extreme Project Management
Extreme project management is a style often employed in cases of very complex or uncertain projects. It differs widely from traditional project management in that it has a much more elastic approach and is more concerned with the human elements of the project. This humanistic approach puts more emphasis on managing the interactions between the humans involved rather than on precise scheduling and formal timescales.
Whether you choose one of these styles or another, your projects efficiency can be improved by using project management software, as issues are flagged automatically, meaning you can take action more quickly.
The Great PPI Scam
Payment Protection Insurance is supposed to help consumers feel secure that if something unplanned happens they are covered for repaying their debts, but more and more people are feeling like it is one big con. It has been sold to people who are unaware, borrowers who cant afford it and even people who want it but don’t know they are ineligible.
Most banks cunningly tag on PPI to any loan or credit and bank employees are often forced to sell useless policies in order to keep their jobs. The theory of PPI is great for borrowers, particularly in the recent economic hard times, where people are losing their jobs left right and centre, it should mean that 3 months unemployed doesn’t mean going hungry because of mortgage repayments. But the reality is quite the opposite; there have been almost no cases where PPI has actually helped someone struggling to make repayments.
Luckily, lenders who have illegally sold PPI can be held accountable by the general consumer. There are thousands of lawyers who focus on financial law and some even specify in PPI reclaiming.
The majority of consumers don’t fully understand the variety of situations in which being sold PPI is illegal, for example; if you were unemployed, self-employed or simply over 65, your PPI payments were invalid and you can recover all the money. If you were not explained the terms of payment, interest and cancellation and if you were informed you could only purchase PPI from your lender, ask for it back!
Although claiming back your PPI is your own responsibility, the Financial Services Authority and the Competition Commission have taken a stance against the dodgy tactics of the industry. They are even slapping fines on any organisation deemed to have broken laws with PPI selling.
In 2009 a watchdog ruled that companies are now required to accurately sell PPI to customers ensuring they are not overpriced, customers can chose to opt out at any time and they are completely covered.

ORO BLANCO O AMARILLO PARA BODAS
Tras los cambios y tendencias que marca la moda conforme pasa el tiempo, todo tiende a adaptar diseños únicos y especiales de acuerdo al mundo que nos rodea. Lo mismo pasa incluso con el tema de los anillos de boda.
Anteriormente eran hechos de metal, luego evolucionaron hasta llegar al oro y aunque eran diseños planos y de un solo color, hoy en día vemos infinidad de modelos, diamantes grandes, pequeños, curvaturas y surcos, incluso el color del oro ya podemos elegir, blanco, amarillo o ambos.
La desventaja que muchos encuentran en el oro blanco es la posible confusión que tiene con la plata, es un color más tranquilo y por ende lo hará verse menos llamativo, sin embargo el gusto se rompe en géneros y son precisamente estas características las que le llaman la atención a mucha gente. Es un color inusual y prácticamente nuevo en el mundo de los anillos de bodas, por lo tanto original.
Sin embargo hay quienes son más tradicionalistas y no quieren que su anillo pase inadvertido, en este caso lo ideal es el oro amarillo, que además de ser el básico en anillos de bodas y compromisos existe la creencia de que atrae el dinero.
Si aún no te decides por ninguno, existe una tercera opción más personalizada y por lo tanto actualmente más demandada que es la mezcla de ambos colores, ya sea creando un tono neutro, ni tan amarillo ni blanco, o bien entrelazando los dos, creando asó modelos únicos y a tu gusto.
Ciertos factores que pueden ayudar a decidir el color de los anillos pueden ser el tono de piel de ambos novios, que tan vistoso desean que sean, el gusto personal y en las mujeres si es que cuentan con uno de compromiso previo pueden buscar en base al color de éste.
EN CUANTO TIEMPO SE ORGANIZA UNA BODA
Tras el romanticismo que trae consigo la idea de casarse existen una serie de elementos qué conlleva el planear una boda: fechas, arreglos, encargos, reservaciones, las dichosas invitaciones de boda, son sólo algunas de las cosas que exigen tiempo y esmero por parte de quien organice tan importante evento.
Es por esto que el tiempo promedio que las parejas determinan para fijar la fecha de la boda es de un año a partir del día en que hacen la noticia oficial, darse este periodo de tiempo además de favorecer una organización exitosa ayuda también a la pareja a relacionarse con la idea y hacer la transacción de vida un poco más paulatinamente.
Se recomienda un año como periodo estándar aunque hay quienes se proponen un tiempo más largo, aunque esta idea es también manejada, regularmente esperar más interfiere con la organización, se traspapelan reservaciones, se olvidan quehaceres y los novios con regularidad entran en un periodo de ansiedad, así como también periodos más cortos son estresantes y sin muchas opciones.
El primer paso es entonces acordar una fecha aunque no sea exacta se procura sea lo más cercana a esto, procediendo entonces a las reservaciones más importantes como lo son el salón, la iglesia, un restaurante en caso de acordarlo, teniendo en mente posibles opciones ya que no siempre se encuentran libres las fechas que deseamos, se requiere también un tiempo para reunir los requisitos de una boda civil, por ejemplo pláticas prematrimoniales, las cuales se manejan por fechas establecidas en ciertos periodos por lo que hay que preguntar por las más convenientes y documentos legales, en caso de no tenerlos todos igualmente se destina un tiempo para ponerlos al día.
Estos son sólo algunos ejemplos de los quehaceres que hay que tener listos para una boda, algunos se resuelven inmediatamente, otros tantos duran días mientras que hay algunos que no se verán resueltos hasta meses después.
Protein Shakes
Anyone who works out at the gym knows that drinking protein shakes after your workout is essential for building muscle and recovery. But did you know that consuming a shake mid way through your workout may be even more beneficial? MensFitness reported that by drinking a shake half way through the workout you will get nutrients into your muscles faster which will in turn speed up recovery time and still provide muscle growth.
When buying a protein shake be on the lookout for these five main ingredients:
Protein Powder
Check the whey protein content and make sure it’s from a good quality reputable brand as this is the main ingredient needed for muscle growth.
Waxy Maize
Waxy Maize is a carbohydrate that is easily digested by the body and into the bloodstream.
Creatine
Creatine can help drastically reduce recovery time as well as doing its part to increase muscle size and the rate of muscle growth.
BCAAs
These branched chain amino acids are an important part of a balanced diet and help the body to absorb proteins as well as support muscle growth and in turn increase your endurance.
Glutamine
By supplementing with glutamine you can actually increase your bodies immunity as well as other benefits such as muscle growth and as its the bodies most abundant amino acid supplementing is a good idea.
How much?
Based on a male weighing between 175-210 lbs:
Protein Powder = 30-40 grams
Waxy Maize = 60-80 grams
Creatine = 5-10 grams
BCAAs = 6 or more grams
Glutamine = 8 or more grams
Consuming Supplements
If you have bought a supplement that has all of the above then you simply mix with water in a shaker and drink it half way through your routine and aim to finish it off just after your workout.
‘New Pyjamas’ Campaigner At Centre Of Probe
Elaine McGonigle, director of the New Pyjamas Campaign for Edinburgh’s Sick Children’s Hospital. McGonigle and her team are being investigated by the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator after a 500,000 spent on the campaign only yielded 60,000 in return. 10 of the charity’s staff have undergone a formal period of consultation regarding their future as McGonigle holds “lengthy” meetings with the officials. Sources close to Ms McGonigle have said she is carrying a “dossier” of paperwork in a bid to prove she has is innocent and that “she has clearly been preparing for this and is 100% confident in her own case”
They continued, “She feels her paper trail is absolutely watertight and that all her documents will show no wrongdoing on her part”
The Director of the campaign stated “I am required, under my professional code of conduct and practise, to ensure that I advise on, and act in accordance with, those laws and regulations attendant to charitable activity in Scotland”
She had made reference to claims regarding her past employment and allegations of a ’secret job’ and denied any bogus activity on her behalf and that the references provided for her current post were “factual, exemplary and thoroughly checked” at the time of her appointment to the post.
Chairman of the Sick Kids Friends Foundation stated that “We want to thank the staff who worked on the New Pyjamas campaign for their dedication, effort and hard work. However, it became clear to the trustees that the New Pyjamas campaign would not, under its current structure, meet the targets initially set out.”
Dr Charles Winstanley, Chairman of NHS Lothian stated: “We have no intention, to strip the SKFF of its independence and are working with them to find the best solution for raising funds for our new hospital”

Oxbridge Sex Blogger Reveals All About University Sex Lives
A university student at Oxbridge has sparked media interest with her racy online diary in which she documents her sexual exploits at an Oxbridge college. She describes herself as “fairly attractive and highly intelligent” and “Currently shagging my way through the half-term hump”. The anonymous blogger has a blog and twitter account in which she posts regular updates to nearly 2000 followers.
She keeps her real identity a closely guarded secret but denies rumours she is a prostitute, man or not even a student. She writes about her sexual adventures and while only referring to her partners with quirky descriptions she offers insight into some of their own personal sexual habits.
Her blog contains stories of the penis sizes of different nationalities she has slept with and a comprehensive dissection of the Oxbridge sex ethic. The self proclaimed “closet nympho” reveals she has “absolutely no intention of revealing my identity, mostly because in some cases that it would involve revealing other people’s identity”.
Her first blog explains how the Oxbridge education system applies such pressure that most students don’t have the time to fulfil a relationship and resort to “drowning their sorrows in a case of VK and in the arms of a stranger”.
Her stories have had an unforgiving comparison to ‘Diary of a London Call Girl’ the online memoirs of professional escort ‘Belle de Jour’. The blogs were turned into a novel and later a television series staring Billie Piper. Belle later revealed herself as Dr Brooke Magnanti, a specialist in informatics, epidemiology and forensic science who worked as a £300 an hour escort while finishing her doctorate at Sheffield University.
