I’ve seen exaggerated claims pro and con about the question of strength training and metabolism. Some authors imply that if you pump iron for a week or two you’ll be able to pound down an extra Big Mac and quart of ice cream per day.

The most pessimistic authors declare that there is almost no increase in metabolism from strength training. In the middle the statement that gaining an extra pound of muscle boosts metabolism by about 50 calories per day is often made. So who’s right?

What do you do, if you are looking to quit your corporate 9-5 job and get into your own business, but you don’t have a product or even an idea? A lot of people in this situation are turning to ebay. Finding products to drop ship so that they do not have to worry about inventory.

But what exactly is drop shipping and how can I get it to work for me?

Drop shipping is where you list a product for sale that you do not currently have stock of, and then once the product is sold, you contact the wholesaler and organize for them to ‘drop ship’ the product directly to the purchaser.

Far too many new and small businesses are making the horrific mistake of not only not making a data centre disaster recovery plan a priority, but in some cases neglecting data centre disaster recovery plans altogether.

There are many reasons why a company may hold this opinion of data centre disaster recovery plans; perhaps they believe that a disaster is one of those things that will never happen to them, or maybe they feel that their business does not rely that much on soft data, and that a data centre disaster recovery plan is not practical. However, no matter what the reason, developing a quality data centre disaster recovery plan is always a warranted endeavour, and here’s why:

The first time you go rock climbing, you probably wore your basic hiking shoes. When you are ready to get serious about the sport, you need to consider upgrading.

When rock climbing, your feet serve a very important purpose. Depending on the climbing and terrain, they usually act as anchors for your movements. As anchors, it is important that they grip well. Regular cross trainers and the like are designed for many purposes, but climbing is not one of them.

Since the beginning of bodybuilding time, men have wanted to build a chest that enters the room a good 2 seconds before the rest of their body. They want a chest that stands out and commands attention, a chest that steps up and sticks out. A broad chest that women seek to lay their head upon.

And ladies too, seek a beautiful chest, one that accents their natural assets. But they also want their chest to be sleek and feminine like the rest of their physique at the same time.

Your visual identity is often the first thing that captures the attention of consumers. How does the designer visually communicate the essence of your brand and how do you know they’ve got it right?

Here are 3 qualities shared by the best corporate identities. Measure the designs submitted to you against each one of these features.

Unique
You might think it goes without saying that all logos are unique; but next time you’re in a store, stand in an aisle and look at the company logos on the products there. Do you see any significant differences? Probably not.

1.) Are you eating enough? You need at least 20 calories per pound of body weight to gain mass. So if you are 150 lbs., you need at least 3000 calories per day.

2.) Separate your meals throughout the day. Don’t just load up 3000 calories in the morning because it’ll just become fat. Separate your meals and eat 6-8 times a day.

3.) Eat most of your carbs in the morning and in between workouts. Eat quality carbs like whole-wheat bread and oatmeal. Only time you want to eat starchy carbs like white bread is the 2 hours frame right after a workout. Starchy carbs help you recover fast from working out, and will not convert into fat.

Ever since I became a freelance copywriter, people have asked me how I do it. When talking about themselves, they say, “Oh I’m not creative” or “I know what I want to say, but I don’t know how to say it.” My reply is always, “just say it!”

We all know that good copy needs a structure; it needs to be in the right tone of voice and it needs to capture and hold the attention of the reader, inspiring them to act. To buy!

Intuitively the link between decluttering and creativity makes sense doesn’t it? Creativity thrives in the land of new ideas and open thinking, while clutter tends to be characterised by clinging on to old ideas, attitudes, habits and possessions. In order to free yourself up to be fabulously creative, you often need to be prepared to let go of the clutter first. Inspiration is unlikely to emerge unless you’ve created a space for it.
