Over at the Huffington Post, personal trainer Andrew Dixon has a post warning that many trendy, quick-fix diets and exercise programs are just tricky marketing gimmicks. To prove his point, he showed how he could take the kind of picture that would be considered a “before” picture and then, after a few strategic changes, take another photo that would easily pass as an “after” picture. He writes regarding the pictures above…

I was around 185 pounds and about 16 percent body fat…. I asked my girlfriend to take a before shot. I then shaved my head, face and chest…. I did a few push ups and chin ups, tweaked my bedroom lighting, sucked in, tightened my abs and BOOM! We got our after shot.

More recently, he repeated the experiment, this time seeing if he could give the impression of slow improvements over time. These photos were all shot in less than an hour.

A paedophile teacher roamed the world molesting a string of young schoolboys over a 42-year period.William Vahey targeted at least 90 children, including Brits, aged 12 to 14 during his sickening spree.

The 64-year-old pervert drugged the youngsters before pouncing.But police fear the number could be higher as sordid images of his victims found on a memory stick he owned only go back to 2008.

It could be the worst ever case of paedophilia involving a teacher.Vahey worked at the private Southbank International School in London from 2009 to last year and today its chair of governors Sir Chris Woodhead confirmed some of the victims were pupils there.

American national Vahey, who was found dead last month, taught history and geography.The FBI said Vahey killed himself two days after investigators filed a warrant to search a computer thumb drive belonging to him containing pornographic images of at least 90 boys aged from 12 to 14, who appeared to be drugged and unconscious.

Former Ofsted chief inspector Sir Chris said the independent school was working with the FBI to identify which of the children in the images were from the school.He said: “Everyone at the school is deeply shocked by what we heard on Tuesday.“Our two priorities now are to communicate as much information as we have as quickly as we can, and to help the police as much as we can in what is now an international police inquiry into the activities of this man.”

Sir Chris said parents at the school, which teaches pupils aged from three to 18, were very concerned.He said the fact that Vahey was able to teach there and at other schools despite having a conviction for a child sex offence in California in 1969 “beggars belief”.

But he added that Vahey had an “immaculate record” and had never given any staff at the school any cause for concern.“He was a very popular man, both with staff and students,” he said. “He has managed to deceive his colleagues in schools all around the world for 30 years."

Sir Chris said that Vahey mainly taught pupils aged between 11 and 14 but also took students out on trips.Earlier, he told Sky News he felt physically sick when he heard the news, adding: “This is the worst thing that I’ve ever been involved in in 40 years of education.”

Sir Chris said a meeting was due to be held at the school early next week which was due to be attended by police and investigators.

A millionaire poker player dubbed 'Instagram's Biggest Playboy' has been captured on video throwing a naked porn star off his roof, leaving her with a broken foot.

Dan Bilzerian, who shares snaps of his hard-partying lifestyle of naked women, private planes, luxury yachts and powerful weapons with his 1.4 million Instagram followers, decided to throw 19-year-old Janice Griffith from the roof of his Hollywood Hills mansion during a photo shoot on Wednesday.

A video of the incident shared on LiveLeak shows him scooping up the naked teen, lifting her above his shoulder and throwing her from the roof to a pool below.

But she apparently grabbed on to his t-shirt at the last second and could be heard screaming as she fell into the water, Elite Daily noted.

'I broke my foot today,' she later wrote on Twitter.

On Thursday, she added: 'I was looking forward to shooting for @SexAndSub SO bad today, stupid broken foot.'

But Bilzerian refused to take the blame and retweeted a message that said: 'Dan Bilzerian was almost murdered by a naked female that tried to pull him off a rooftop hahaha good thing he's part hulk.'

A video of a father who offers a lit cigarette to a toddler who then smokes it has caused uproar in the social media.

As the topless man passes the cigarette back and forth to the toddler, a woman can be heard laughing from behind the camera.

The footage is just over two minutes long and is believed to have been filmed in Russia.

The young boy is seen putting the cigarette in his mouth and making feeble drags on it as his father encourages him.

The boy laughs and claps his hands as he is yet again given the cigarette.

When the man playfully refuses him, the child makes crying noises, and soon points to the fresh packet on the table.

Astonishingly, the father gives the child a new cigarette and lights it for him.

The video appeared on LiveLeak on Wednesday and has since been picked up on youtube, has outraged many people who have written in to condemn the behaviour of the adults in the video.

1. Learn how to have conversations with people. Your ideas or opinions may not always be accepted by others, but this is nothing unusual. Open your mouth, express your beliefs! This will improve your courage.

2. Don’t be afraid and speak loudly. If you speak in a low voice, not only will others not be able to hear what you say, but you will also portray a submissive demeanor, which suggests the opposite of a confident one.

3. Make eye contact when you speak. For one thing, it is polite for others. Also, eye contact will help others to listen to your thinking carefully.

4. Praise yourself everyday! This will promote your own confidence, which is important when you speak. With more confidence, people will take your thinking more seriously.

Tips

Couples break up all the time. Since you are reading this, it’s probably just happened to you and you are looking for answers to the question “Why do men leave women?” You are in the right place! Understanding the reasons why men leave women is the first step towards hopefully getting your ex back. You are worlds ahead of most people going through a break up.Men and women end their relationships for different reasons.

It’s often confusing trying to understand the situation, especially with men. Men have a knack for saying one thing and meaning another. Often there is more to the story than is being said. Men usually don’t out and out lie about the reason for the break up – they just don’t give you the whole picture. Yes, men can be dogs, but often they are just trying to keep away from hurting your feelings.

Let’s look at some of the main reasons why men leave women:
 
1. Men leave women when they no longer feel the relationship is giving them what they need. When you first got together you probably did an amazing job of letting your man know that he was admired and appreciated. Men want to be wanted. It’s an ego thing. When he longer feels wanted, needed or admired, a man will often check out of a relationship.

2. Men leave when they feel they are being used. Taking advantage of a man’s good nature or strong work ethic or ability to provide nice things can be a sure killer of a good relationship. Using him for what he’s worth is a severe no no. It is a simple but powerful truth: men want to be respected.

3. Men leave when nagging is the norm. Ever watch The Amazing Race? There is a couple competing this season where the wife does nothing but nag, nag, nag. It is no wonder they are separated! A lot of men have little patience. Nagging your man can push him over the edge and make him leave.

4. Men leave because of lake of sexual activity.It is very true that men can often bring on this problem on themselves. Because men are more easily sexually satisfied than women, they sometimes don’t do a good job of taking the time and effort to become a good lover. Selfish love making can ruin a relationship. Quantity can become more important than quality. My advice is to just be honest with yourself about your role in regard to the sexual activity and do your best to address this area if the situation should arise.

South Korean plastic surgeons are among the best in the world. In fact they’re so good that people from other countries like China and Japan are actually having trouble getting back home.

That’s sounds really crazy, but it’s true. When most people get a nose job or a lip job, they just look like ‘enhanced’ versions of themselves. But people returning from a plastic surgery vacation in South Korea are truly transformed.

You’d have to look very closely at the ‘before’ and ‘after’ photographs, and even then, it’s hard to make a connection. So I suppose you couldn’t really blame airport officials for stopping these tourists from returning home.

Thankfully, Korean hospitals have found a way to work around the issue. They are now handing out ‘plastic surgery certificates’ on request to overseas patients. These certificates include the patient’s passport number, the duration of stay, the name and location of the hospital and the hospital’s official seal. Travelers can use the certificate to help convince immigration officials on the return trip home.

In a bizarre incident, a total of 23 women were recently held back at Chinese immigration. They were between the ages of 36 and 54, and had bigger eyes, higher noses and slimmer chins than depicted on their passports.

“After they took off their huge hats and big sunglasses following our request, we saw them looking different, with bandages and stiches here and there,” said Chen Tao, a Shanghai Hongqiao Airport Officer. “We had to compare their uncorrected parts with their photos very carefully.”

While the average photo-to-person verification process takes about 45 seconds, officers had to spend several minutes identifying each woman. “They told the officers that they are friends and that they had gone to South Korea together to have cosmetic surgery,” said Chen. “After they passed the identification, we asked them all to renew their passports immediately.”

In 2011, about 2,500 medical tourists visited South Korea. The number increased ten-fold last year, to a whopping 25,176 visitors. Interestingly, a majority of these tourists are from China. While the Chinese are gaining in prosperity, they don’t seem to trust their doctors anymore.

According to plastic surgeon Park Byong-choon, “Chinese parents come to Korea even for childbirth. The death of a young singer under a Chinese cosmetic surgeon’s knife a few years ago makes people think twice about doing it at home.” Via- Kotaku.com

The wife of an Illinois man who drowned after a brutal swan attack is suing the condo complex where he tended the birds.

Amy Hensley claims the vicious assault in Des Plaines "caused or contributed to" the death of her husband Anthony.

And she blames the Bay Colony Drive complex, where it occurred, Hillcrest Property Management and his bosses at Knox Swan and Dog for not realizing the danger he was in.

In a lawsuit filed against the trio last week, she said: "The presence of the mute swans on the premises rendered it unreasonably dangerous."

And she claimed “(The defendants) knew or should have known that mute swans are strongly territorial with a dangerous propensity to attack."

Anthony Hensley was tending to the birds used to keep geese away from a kayak when one of the birds attacked.

Thrown into the water, he struggled to stay afloat as the swan continued to attack.

He was soon found and pronounced dead after being taken to hospital.
