It’s time to test the Garcinia Cambogia.
The first day of taking the diet pills and I have not dropped a pound, I am already thinking refund…just kidding. You are required to take two pills per day. I will try to stay on the same schedule as much as possible, taking one in the morning and one in evening.
I want to let people know, this is not a gimmick or publicity for this brand. It has been a product that I saw on Dr. Oz and read about in Women’s Health Magazine where one of their editors tested it out as well.
So far, I haven’t felt anything out of the normal such as headaches or nausea but feel somewhat hazy an hour after taking one.
Also after the first pill while I was driving on my way to work, I saw a McDonald’s sign and instantly craved a cheeseburger. Now I haven’t wanted to eat a burger since my college days which has been quite some time ago. I am beginning to wonder, am I the anti-dieter?!
We will see next week, if I shed any weight from a week of taking the pills or this is will turn into the documentary “Super Size Me.”
Disclaimer: these are my own thoughts and feeling about the pills, it does not reflect the station. I do enjoy making fun of myself to get a laugh.
WOULDN’T it be great if weight loss was so straight forward that you could even do it in your sleep?
Well, it kind of is.
For most of us, the thought of shedding body fat is a daunting one with complicated diets and exercises needed to achieve the end goal.
But it doesn’t have to be that hard – it’s simply a matter of re-balancing our lifestyles.
We tend to store a lot of fat around our middles if we’re exposed to high and prolonged periods of stress.
Stress comes in many different forms but the effect on our metabolisms is basically the same.
If you’re disproportionately storing more fat around your lower belly, then you need to start thinking about reducing your stress levels and getting a good night’s sleep.
An easy way to start improving the quality of your sleep and boosting your weight loss is by drinking a cup of tea before bed.
We’re not talking about the kinds of dubious diet teas that promise to help you shed a stone in a week.
And we’re not talking caffeine rich builders, which could keep you up at night.
Instead, try these herbal teas to satisfy sweet cravings, calm the mind and prepare the body for rest…
Cinnamon has tonnes of health benefits.
It’s naturally anti-inflammatory, meaning that it’ll help you de-bloat and reduce your overall physical stress load.
It’s also said to increase insulin sensitivity and decrease blood sugar – both of which are vital for losing weight.
The spice is also thought to boost metabolism because your body uses more energy to process it.
“Though it has a slight metabolism/thermogenic effect, it is more about balancing blood sugar and insulin resistance, which in turn aids weight loss and can lessen food cravings,” nutritionist Helen Bond told The Sun.
“Again, this does not replace the need for dietary changes. A far better way of balancing blood sugar and insulin resistance is to follow a sugar-free, low-carbohydrate diet.”
Dr Sally Norton told The Sun that cinnamon can be added to desserts or hot drinks as a healthy alternative to sugar, as it can have a subtle sweetness.
So if you want something sweet after dinner, a cup of cinnamon tea might be the ideal solution.

Chamomile is probably the best known “sleepy tea”.
The Romans, Greeks and Egyptians all used the herb as a dressing for wounds to help them heal quicker.
Nowadays, it’s known to help soothe muscle spasms, which makes it the perfect post-meal drink.
It can help to relieve belly cramps, IBS, indigestion and gas.
And it’s also been used for centuries as a sleep aid, thanks to healing ingredients like apigenin and bisabolol.

Feeling tired and groggy inevitably leads to snacking through the day or reaching for calorific foods.
But peppermint tea has been found to awaken the senses in a variety of ways.
It relieves tension headaches, clogged sinuses, improves energy, and may improve sleep.
And it might help to aid weight loss.
A small study got 13 people to take a peppermint oil capsule each.
Scientists found that this reduced appetite compared to not taking peppermint oil.
But it may just be that it’s a really satisfying tea that leaves you feeling really refreshed and less likely to snack.

Roobios is a South African tea made from the fermented tea leaves of the Aspalathus linearis shrub.
Sweet and earthy, it includes plant chemicals which have been directly linked to combatting obesity.
A 2014 study found that the tea may speed up weight loss by increasing levels of leptin – our appetite hormone.
It’s the stuff that tells the body we’ve had enough food.

This stuff is traditionally drunk black and has actually been directly linked to weight loss.
A 2016 study found that the fat-burning effect of daily tea drinking helped 59 overweight or obese people to reduce their BMI and shift a significant amount of weight.
In just four weeks, they were found to have cut fat from their arms, legs and bellies.
And they also reported having a smaller appetite after drinking the stuff.

Laurence Fountain, PT and founder of Salus London, previously told The Sun that “cortisol is going to interfere with different hormonal effects“.
“Firstly, it’s going to interfere with your thyroid – meaning it’s going to be very hard to burn fat when your cortisol is high. In fact, you’re going to be more likely to burn muscle.”
And secondly, “too much cortisol can also lead to an over-stimulation of the brain during sleep causing an increase of ghrelin – the hunger hormone, which is going to make it impossible for you to control your appetite and stay away from simple sugars and high-fat foods.”
A 2011 study found that people who slept between six and eight hours a night had a greater chance of achieving their weight-loss goal than those who slept less or more.
It also found that lower stress levels were associated with greater success at weight loss, particularly when combined with between six and eight hours of sleep.
Sleep has all kinds of miraculous effects on our bodies.
It can help us fight cravings and stabilise our insulin levels.
Excess insulin makes you more hungry and tells the body to store more calories as fat – so you want to make sure that you’re as insulin sensitive as possible.
One study forced 11 men to have only four hours of sleep for six nights. After this, their bodies’ ability to lower blood sugar levels decreased by 40 per cent.
Poor sleep also slows down your metabolism, increases your calorie intake and increases your appetite.
So anything we can do to promote a much better sleep is going to result in greater fat burning ability.
Don’t think that drinking tea is going undo eating badly and doing no exercise.
Think of tea as the cherry on top of a cake that you’ve been building with good lifestyle habits.
No one is saying that you have to ditch the evening wine altogether.
But if you want to lose weight, you’re probably best off trying to minimise the amount you drink and saving it for those weekend nights.
Try to drink tea five nights a week and then treat yourself on Fridays and Saturdays when you can catch up on sleep the next morning.

Ever had a string of a data URI image and you want to see said image? Simple: type data:image/png;base64, followed by the base 64 string. Except... it's too much syntax to remember. I mean c'mon: colon, semi-colon, comma. And you probably don't do this often enough. A bookmarklet is called for to aid the memory. Here goes:
location='data:image/png;base64,'+prompt('dataURIplz:');
Yup.
If you think this is a good idea, drag this link to your bookmarks.
Bye!
p.s. Doesn't work in Chrome, because you're "Not allowed to navigate top frame to data URL". If it's that important to you, maybe change the bookmarklet code to do something like:
var i = new Image();
i.src = 'data:image/png;base64,'+prompt('dataURIplz:');
document.body.innerHTML = i.innerHTML;
p.p.s. Yup, some of us write up a whole thing about a chunk of code and only then test it in that other browser that peeps seem to use.

Triggered by Marco Pivetta who apparently said during his talk at Symfony Live Berlin: "If you still don't have tests, this is unprofessional", I thought I'd tweet about that too: "It's good for someone to point this out from time to time".
I don't like it when a blog post is about tweets, just a...
Recently, Garcinia Cambogia has been getting a lot of attention for its apparent ability to help people lose weight. Many physicians and consumers alike have praised the supplement as a safe and natural way to help the body burn fat and shed pounds quickly. According to Zen Health Labs, Garcinia Cambogia Extract contains an active ingredient called hydroxycitric acid (HCA), which prevents the body from producing fat by inhibiting a key enzyme that helps to turn carbohydrates into fat. In addition, the company notes, the weight loss supplement has been found to increase the levels of serotonin that are in the brain. Because serotonin can have a direct and positive impact on the mood, increased levels may cause people to be less likely to binge eat.
Zen Health Labs’ announcement could not have come at a better time—summer is here, swimsuit season is in full swing and many people are currently trying to lose weight. As Zen Health Labs states, Garcinia Cambogia can help compound weight loss efforts, leading to quicker results.
“Our Garcinia Cambogia extract dietary supplement is formulated using the very best all-natural ingredients in a GMP certified facility,” the company notes, adding that the Garcinia Cambogia offered by Zen Health Labs contains 60 percent HCA—which is higher than many other brands—and also comes in a large bottle count. In addition, the product does not contain any fillers, binders or artificial ingredients, and it is certified to be allergen free. To help the HCA absorb into the body as efficiently as possible, the supplement also includes potassium and calcium. These important features, Zen Health Labs states, help to set their product apart from some of the other less expensive forms of Garcinia Cambogia that are available online.
In the short time Zen Health Labs’ Garcinia Cambogia has been available on Amazon.com, it is already receiving positive reviews from customers. One reviewer named Natalie wrote that the supplement helped her to lose 10 pounds in just over four weeks.
“I really feel like I have more energy and my appetite has noticeably decreased. Obviously because I’m less hungry I eat less and that’s why the weight’s been dropping off.”
About Zen Health Labs:
Zen Health Labs was founded with a goal in mind: to provide the highest quality, natural supplements to support a healthy mind, body and spirit at a competitive price and with an exceptional level of customer service. For more information, please visit

The wireframe is a visual guide that depicts the skeleton of a website. Everything begins with it. It is a stage where your ideas materialize, sometimes on a piece of paper. So technically, it is a sketch – an outline version of a future web interface.
So, you may ask: “What does it have to do with the actual live website? How does it affect a vibrant design, clickable elements, motion, content that makes sense, etc.?“
Of course, we will not show you website designs that look like hand-drawn illustrations with crossed-out boxes and gobbledygook. Instead, we are going to focus your attention on web interfaces whose beauty and charisma were obtained by the ideas taken from the blueprint’s ideology. Let’s have a look.
Wireframe style designs are a tiny trend these days that fill the web with elegant, refined solutions. Consider one of the most inspiring and refreshing examples in this area – the personal portfolio of Abdelkader El Issaoui.
Here, you can see a compositional harmony that pulls off a sense of sophistication with ease. All the elements of the hero area follow the rules of schematic arrangement that, in some way, reminds of a wireframe.
Thus, the navigation occupies the perimeter of the screen. The creative team uses both vertical and horizontal directions to make it nicely flow into the composition. The central part comprises an image, tagline, and a link that together form one space.
Ultra-thin lines perform a critical role: they give the design a sketch-like feeling and strengthen the general aesthetics. Coloring and a generous amount of whitespace tie everything together. The website looks just amazing.
Another fantastic example to explore is the portfolio of Alfa Charlie. The website has a subtle feeling of elegant negligence. It seems like the author has carelessly arranged the text and tagline over the main image. However, here every detail has its proper place, and nothing is made without intention.
Note, both examples lean on the same tricks, such as:
While both websites have lots of in common, there are still some features that distinguish one from the other. For example, here, the main content overlaps the central image, making things tightly-packed together. Also, there is a small badge-like stamp located on the bottom right of the page. It is a compact version of the logotype that adds to the brand identity as well as the overall design.
Everess has obtained the same charisma as Alfa Charlie, yet its design looks bolder and more prominent. While the two previous examples bet on pale coloring, where light grey rules the roost, here you can see a classic black-and-white combination that makes things clear as ever.
The layout and arrangement of the components on the home screen stick to the same rules. Therefore, you will find in here:
The creative team behind Muraflex takes the same approach. However, as in the case of Everess, some definite distinctions demonstrate different preferences in realizing the trend.
For instance, here the navigation, along with social media links and logotype are concentrated mostly on the left side. Even though there are a couple of components that take up the top bar, the design still feels a bit lopsided.
The central composition shows a prominent single-word title, vector buttons instead of text-based links with a line and a small disharmony in the horizontal plane. Here the level is set by text, not images. In addition, the coloring is not so washy and obscure.
However, despite these differences, the website meets the trend and looks amazing just like everyone else listed above.
Okay, it is time to widen our horizons and look at some offbeat and intricate takes on the trend. First, let’s consider PlasticBCN.
This one certainly shows us how to embrace chaos and produce an original hero area with a hint of wireframe style. The welcome screen heavily relies on the vertical orientation that adds a strong personality to the design. The spacious feeling, schematic presentation, primitive graphics, and arrangement have secured the website a place on the list.
The creative teams behind Wellness Hotel and 50.8 Studio have added traditional sketch details to the design, making things more exciting and captivating.
In the case of Wellness Hotel, you can see how the eye-catching image backdrop has been encrusted with outline details that, together, produce quite an impression. The welcome section looks organized and properly structured, yet it still feels picturesque.
In the case of 50.8 Studio, the team has gone a bit further. Here the hero area is split into two equal parts. Whereas the right section is a conventional image-based backdrop, the left panel presents the navigation and all useful links in a modular system, whose outline can be seen with the naked eye.
All of the columns and rows of the grid are delineated literally. This interfusion commands the attention and leaves a lasting impression.
Let’s consider two examples that stand in stark contrast to the previous websites, yet they still have that inspiring wireframe-style charisma.
The first one to look at is Future London Academy. Heavily inspired by Bauhaus, this outstanding home screen speaks volumes. It effortlessly sets the design off and proves that simplicity and geometry can do wonders together.
Nunziella Salluce is another eccentric solution. Much like the previous example, it has a note of a modernist industrial design inherent to the Bauhaus art school.
However, here it is skillfully combined with a wireframe style that brings about an outstanding outcome. It wins over readers with its beautiful primitiveness.
Wireframe style design is ambiguous. It manifests itself in various solutions and can be seen in different concepts.
However, one thing you can say for sure: it has its own personality and irresistible charisma that easily singles out some projects from the others.
