The queen trolled Najib ?

thelion4ever — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 22:49:32 +0800

Let me tell you why the Queen wearing yellow when granting an audience to Najib was NOT a coincidence or a faux pas.
Dear Reader,

Let me tell you why Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II wearing yellow when granting an audience to our Prime Minister and his wife was not a coincidence or a faux pas. As much as UMNO would prefer to think otherwise.

Fact 1. The Queen, contrary to popular belief, is very much well-informed. She is constantly kept abreast of the latest developments and news pertaining to her realm and her government by her team of palace advisers, secretaries and civil servants. They, in turn, gather their information from various sources, including ministries, government departments, Scotland Yard, 10 Downing Street, and members of the press corp in the UK. (Scotland Yard, knowing that the Queen would be granting an audience to the Prime Minister of Malaysia, would have certainly informed the Palace of the many demonstrations in London by Bersih 2.0 supporters.)

When a visiting dignitary is scheduled to meet the Queen, she is always fully briefed on the background of her visitor, the current situation of her visitor's home country, and the DO's and DON'T's to observe. Particularly, she would be informed of developments in her own realm regarding the visitor. Scenes in London like the one in the photo below would not have escaped Her Majesty's team of advisers, who in turn would have briefed the Queen. So, to assume that she was not aware of Bersih 2.0 is untenable.

Fact 2. Royal wardrobe and fashion is strictly regulated, and the Queen and members of the Royal Family are always careful not to make any fashion faux pas or distress their guests. Her advisers would have advised her to stay away from wearing yellow, and explained the significance of the colour in present circumstances. As Sarawak Report suggests, “she MUST have been informed of the sensitivity of the colour yellow”.

My friend (and fashion writer) Sasha Bashir commented at my facebook, “I have read in several write ups about Princess Diana's wardrobe that English royals are always briefed on current issues and what colours should and should not be worn. One I can remember is that she visited some country where they had just lost an important football match and the whole country was upset about it. The baju she was going to wear at state formal dinner was same colour as flag of the other country, so she had to change her wardrobe plans. Kate Middleton is also following this kind of thing. On her trip to Canada recently, she wore white dress, red shoes and red maple leaf hat. Canada flag is red, white with maple leaf. The royals are not supposed to be fashion icons (even though people like Princess Di and Kate are), they are to be fashion diplomats. ”

Fact 3. Besides attending public events, state dinners, receiving dignitaries and horse races, the Queen actually does paper work! Yes, Her Majesty, like many of us, has her daily duty of working at one of her many desks reading and signing state papers and official documents (often classified as secret). British fastidiousness with information and intelligence gathering is well-known. Her cache of papers would most definitely have included confidential dossiers on Najib Razak and Malaysia. And Bersih 2.0.

Fact 4. Besides official papers, she also reads the newspapers. Knowing that she would be meeting the Prime Minister of Malaysia, an article in The Guardian, a respected British newspaper, with the headline "Malaysia's Najib must abandon the Mubarak model", would surely have caught her eye.

Fact 5. The Queen meets her Prime Minister once a week, every week. It would have been incumbent upon David Cameron to apprise the Queen of Najib Razak and Malaysia, in view that he would be visiting the UK on an official trip. News of the Bersih 2.0 rally in Kuala Lumpur, being reported globally the same week the Queen had her weekly meeting with David Cameron, would most definitely have been a topic of conversation. It is also a practice for the British Prime Minister to advise the Monarch on how to appropriately respond to political situations of the day, since she is constitutionally apolitical.

Did Cameron therefore gently suggest that the Queen wear yellow as a message to our Prime Minister and also to the people of Malaysia? Where Cameron could not publicly chastise Najib, the Queen could, with regal aplomb, send a strong message?

Fact 6. The Queen is a politically astute woman who has seen twelve British prime ministers serve under her reign, the list starting with Winston Churchill, no less! Her vast experience in international relations and diplomacy is unchallenged and she would thoroughly understand the subtleties and symbolism attached to what one says and what one wears. To assume that Her Majesty has no political acumen is completely ludicrous.

Fact 7. Everything the Queen does is planned in advance and takes into consideration all factors. Everything has a reason, even right down to the colour of the flowers in her audience chamber! Nothing is coincidental, random or arbitrary where the Queen of the United Kingdom is concerned.

These seven facts alone allow us to reasonably conclude that the Queen was very much aware of Bersih 2.0 and the significance of the colour yellow, besides it being the royal colour for Malaysian royalty.

The question now is, knowing full well the sensitivity of the colour yellow, what was the reason behind Her Majesty deciding to wear yellow when meeting our Prime Minister and his lovely wife? The answer, dear reader, is yours to conclude.

Guys........does this training program work

thelion4ever — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 16:35:02 +0800

Hey there, need help

http://stronglifts.com/stronglifts-5x5-beg...aining-program/

QUOTE

StrongLifts 5×5 is the popular training program that will make you gain muscle and strength while losing fat – whatever your bodytype, age or genetics – in only 3 workouts per week of about 45 minutes each.

SL5x5 is NOT a silly bodybuilding routine – there’s no training to failure 6x/week for 2h/day until you get “pumped” and sore instead of strong.
SL5x5 is ALSO NOT one of those painful metabolic workouts that make you skinny and weak instead of muscular and powerful.
And SL5x5 is DEFINITELY NOT a program that requires expensive supplements or worse steroids to make you gain muscle and strength.

StrongLifts 5×5 will also increase your endurance and improve your flexibility. As you’ll discover, several of my SL Members have even eliminated nagging back or knee pain, and lowered their blood pressure (without cardio) with SL5x5.

The secret? Free weight, compound, barbell exercises for 5 sets of 5 reps (5×5) with progressive loading. And that delivers results whether you have ZERO weight training experience or have been training for 20 years.

Skeptical? That’s normal and healthy. Read on for actual proof.

Proof That SL5x5 Works. Reg Park, mentor of Arnold Schwarzenegger, used the 5×5 method during the 1950s to become 3x Mr Universe. By also becoming the first bodybuilder to Bench Press 500lbs, Reg Park inspired Schwarzenegger to follow his 5×5 training method to become 7x Mr Olympia.

I discovered the 5×5 method in 2003. After 5 years of bodybuilding routines, I decided it was time to BE strong, not just LOOK strong. Research led me to Olympic Coach Glenn Pendlay who has used this 5×5 method to produce (so far) 97 national champions who have broken 10 American records.

Since 1950, for over 60 years, thousands of success stories have emerged from men who have dramatically transformed their physique while gaining amazing strength, fitness and confidence using this powerful 5×5 method.

SL5x5 is an evolved version of this 5×5 method with long-term planning (“The StrongLifts Ladder of Strength” as you’ll discover the coming months…). I have over 150 success stories from men with different genetics, bodytypes and ages who have changed their life with SL5x5. It’s time-tested proven to work.

The StrongLifts 5×5 Program. So here’s the Program. 5×5 stands for 5 sets of 5 reps with the same weight. Start with the empty Olympic Bar (45lbs) on all exercises then add 5lbs per workout. On Deadlifts start with 90lbs and add 10lbs per workout (1 set of 5 only!). I warn you, SL5x5 is harder than it looks.
StrongLifts 5x5 Workout A StrongLifts 5x5 Workout B
Squat 5x5 Squat 5x5
Bench Press 5x5 Overhead Press 5x5
Barbell Rows 5x5 Deadlift 1x5

The first time you go to the gym you do SL5x5 workout A, the next time you do workout B. Alternate workouts A and B like this every time you go the gym, and always wait at least 48h between 2 workouts for optimal muscle recovery. Most SL Members train Monday/Wednesday/Friday.

Everything you need to know about StrongLifts 5×5 is inside the new 5×5 report which you can download for free by clicking here (you will also receive a free 5×5 spreadsheet to track your workouts and progress).

Spread The Word. Tens of thousands of guys from over 187 countries have dramatically transformed their physique while increasing their strength, fitness and confidence with StrongLifts 5×5. Please help me spreading the word by sharing SL5x5 with your friends on facebook and twitter using the links below.

I'm 16 and to be honest a bit skinny but can I follow this training program ?? With such big weights, I might hurt myself ??

11 questions

thelion4ever — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 01:47:51 +0800

1.I workout everyday , is 6 boiled eggs enough ?? I eat only the egg whites

2. When we eat eggs, does our body produce insulin. Coz if too much glucose, our body releases insulin to balance it but what about protein. I'm trying to maximize growth hormone production lol

3. I want to get a V-taper. I have resistance bands and I know pulling workouts works if I want a V-taper such as pullups. WHen I do pulling exercises, should only my arms move and the whole body move ??

4. Walking more effective in burning fats right??

5.Should I do compound exercise or isolated exercises ??

6.Anyone know where to but those metal bars to attach weights ??

7. All the metal bars that bodybuilders use are a standard size right??

8. Theres a saying " If you want to gain muscle mass, eat more calories than you burn" but does the calories come from protein or carbs ?? So eat a lot of protein or carbs??

9. If I eat too much protein and workout frequently, its not a problem right ?? Coz I need to gain a lot of muscles in like 2 months .

QUOTE

What kind of growth are we talking about?

"An 18-year-old kid showing up at my gym for the first time; if he's 5'10'' and 140 pounds on day one, I've seen kids that size put on 60 pounds of mass in six to eight months more times than I count," says Rip. "In fact, if he doesn't get results like that, I know he's not eating enough."

10.Its normal for muscles to be sore after workouts right ??

QUOTE

The Diet

Sixty-pound gains in a year don't happen out of thin air, of course. Rip says gains of that magnitude require calories, and lots of them.

"4000 calories a day is a minimum. 6000 works better. Lots of protein, vegetables, fruits, and clean carbs. No effort should be made to lower dietary fat whatsoever, but watch the crappy carbs and sugar."

"I've seen guys gain ten pounds a week when they first get with the program," says Rip, "provided they aren't one of these snot-nosed little bastards that thinks visible abs is the be-all and end-all of athleticism and getting laid."

SO when our body repairs itself, it uses both carbs and protein??

Appreciate the help
