Fat location determines your health risk
Fats don’t flatter the image most of the time. But beyond the aesthetic beauty that a lean body projects, researchers are now saying that the location or distribution of body fat matters when we are talking about overall wellbeing.
Scientists say that, generally, body weight is influenced by a person’s age, gene and hormonal activities on the one hand, and by the body maintenance condition — how much you exercise, diet, etc. They contend that the amount and location of fat in your body affects your risk for a number of health conditions.
Body shapes and fat distribution
According to an online beauty and fitness page, channel4.com, the apple shape is defined by an ample bust, round stomach and slimmer hips. Here, fat is mainly distributed in the abdomen, chest, and face.

Signs you are living beyond your means
You do not have to be a financial expert to know that you are spending more than you should.
For individuals to attain financial freedom, one of the most common pieces of advice given by experts is, “live within your means.” To achieve this, they are told to spend less than they earn and save more, to stick to budgets, and to know the difference between their needs and wants.
As straightforward as that may sound, many people do not make the needed adjustment, erroneously believing they are living within their means. After all, everything they have spent their money on can be categorised as needs. In essence, their expenses can be “justified”.

Osaze finally quits West Brom
Osaze Odemwingie’s future with West Bromwich Albion was decided during talks between the club and the PFA last week – with the striker set for a summer exit, irrespective of Saturday’s flare-up with Baggies supporters.
It has also emerged that TV presenter Adrian Chiles has apologised for the comment he made about the striker at the club’s end-of-season dinner.
Odemwingie’s future was pretty much resolved during last Thursday’s meeting involving himself, the PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor, Albion’s sporting and technical director Richard Garlick and the club’s chief executive Mark Jenkins.
Anti-press violence: How safe are journalists?
Like Soud Qbeilat, an artist, would say, “When there is no freedom, there is no creativity”. No doubt, press freedom in Nigeria has become increasingly worrisome as cases of journalists who were murdered remain unresolved and the list continues to grow.
This disturbing development negates the provisions of the Constitution which guarantees press freedom. Section 39 (1) of the 1999 constitution (as amended) of the Federal Republic of Nigeria provides that: “Every person shall be entitled to freedom of expression, including freedom to hold opinions and to receive and impart ideas and information without interference.”

POWER GENERATION: PHCN’s failure pushes Customs to independence
The notorious incompetence of the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) may have driven the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS) into generating its own power requirements independently, particularly to maintain the integrity of its ever-expanding information communication technology (ICT) project.
This emerged during a visit to the Customs Headquarters, Abuja, recently by journalists, as part of a retreat on Effective Media/ Public Relations Synergy for Maritime Development, organised by the Maritime Reporters’ Association of Nigeria (MARAN) at the Customs Command and Staff College, Gwagwalada, Abuja, last Friday.
