Weight Loss Programs that Work Fast & Well
The LifeCo approach to weight loss places great emphasis on detoxification and getting your digestive system functioning as it should, allowing other systems in the body to rejuvenate, cleanse and balance. In this way, our weight loss programs work at an efficient and highly sustainable level leading to long-lasting results.
The LifeCo has 4 main pillars to facilitate weight loss:
Losing Weight in a Natural & Healthy "The LifeCo" Way
We remove the toxins from the body. One of the things that really associated with people who are not able to lose weight is actually having toxins stored in their cells. When we are not able to effectively detoxify, weight loss becomes really difficult.
The next thing we do is giving our guests a fiber supplement. Fiber supplement not only helps the guest to feel full and not hungry but actually helps to pull toxins out of the body and remove them from the body.
Our programs are designed to help reduce toxin accumulation from your body while changing your unhealthy eating habits. Juicing for weight loss is one effective way for you to eliminate toxins. Once you eliminate edema and toxins, your body will start to use its energy to burn fat cells while keeping you full. Additionally, you will have cleaner organs and radiant skin.
We reduce the overall calorie intake. We are able to limit the calorie intake while still meeting with your nutritional needs. Fresh juices, salads and fiber help you feel not as hungry as before, and beyond that your nutrition is actually improved even though you are eating less.
Your program will be lower in calories, but at the same time, we will be helping to educate your body on the hunger cues. So, you may notice that the things that made you feel hungry before like smells won't make you hungry anymore.
Master Detox is our quickest and most effective program for weightloss management. It is prepared with herbs and shakes to provide the cleanse, nutrition and fiber your body needs to burn fat cells while keeping you full in such short time.
We apply natural therapies. The therapies applied at The LifeCo centers aim to enhance the weight loss process and also provide the necessary nutrition the body requires.
IV Treatments applied by our medical team help the body balance itself and has significant anti-aging effects. Enemas and colon hydrotherapy help release of accumulated toxins through the colon.
We also enhance the release of toxins through treatments such as massages, steam bath, Turkish hammam and infrared sauna.
These therapies will be implemented into your program after the initial consultation with your program coordinator as well as our doctors.
The LifeCo Centers are providing the necessary healing environment. A weight loss journey is also supposed to be a healing journey. The main cause of excessive weight gain is the lack of motivation and daily distractions. You may have the right intention and mindset but if you are surrounded with toxic stimulants, it becomes very difficult to lose weight.
The LifeCo centers are located in peaceful environments designed to enhance the healing process. Keep in mind that you will be surrounded by like-minded people enjoying their own journeys and also a capable staff including an experienced medical team.
When you feel like you get demotivated, you will feel our caring hand on your shoulder and keep on track.
"We have seen people losing 20 kilos in 20 days with our weight loss program. These are really remarkable results!"

Far infrared ray penetrates deep into the skin and stimulates metabolism through self-heating, helping to eliminate harmful metals accumulated through poor diet, delays aging. In this new concept of far infrared waves combined with sonic wave vibration using speakers let precise vertical sonic wave vibration reach into the body and helps to increase muscular strength which can strongly stimulate the body to naturally increase bone density.
Daily colon cleansing provides an effective way to clean your colon which helps significant weight loss by removing toxic waste. Through the Angel of Water, it is possible to cleanse the entire length of the colon during a professionally administered session. Regular colon cleansing has various benefits, especially during the master detox program. Psyllium husk powder and bentonite clay in the shakes accelerates toxic release and Angel of Water (Colon Cleansing) becomes necessary to release these toxins
When you arrive at the center, you will have different expectations regarding different aspects of the program. Weight loss can be your main motivation, however meeting our doctors on-site and having an initial consultation will help you understand the triggers of your specific weight problem. Only then you will be able to focus on what is necessary and you will be getting treatments suggested during your doctor consultation.
Turbosonic sessions are available at The LifeCo centers as complementary treatments. The vibration enhances cellular oxygen intake, makes nutrient absorption more effective and stimulates lymphatic movement. These effects increase the waste removal process and make your weight loss experience more beneficial. Turbosonic vibration therapy is also suitable for people suffering from injuries and are unable to perform physical activities effectively.

The reason for this is not only restricting calories but rather it's that we are nourishing the body and giving the body what it truly is craving and taking away a lot of things that it doesn't need.

Additional Therapies You Can Purchase During The Program
In addition to complementary therapies and treatments already present in the weight loss program, you may purchase additional therapies to boost the weight loss process. Additional therapies may depend on your center preference. We prepared some pre-made packages for you with convenient pricing as well.
The cells in our body move with a certain rhythm when they are healthy. When these rhythmic movements are defective for any reason, disorders occur in the tissue where these cells live. The head- piece of this specially-shaped therapy device is designed to cause the physiological vibrations that are unique to our body. These vibrations are mechanically applied externally to the body to stimulate the skeletal muscles and the nervous system harmonically and rhythmically. As a result, metabolism (the process of nutrition and waste removal in the cells and cellular environment) will return to normal in a very short period of time.
Embodying the technologies which provide a firmer, well-shaped skin and volumetric, circumferential, cellulite reduction on the applied areas. The key of Venus Legacy Technologies, stimulates the natural wound-healing functions of the body. The result is resurfaced skin tissue. Plus, it has a triggering effect on the process of lipolysis within the fat tissues as a natural function.
Sodium bicarbonate is administered with the help of an inhalation machine and mask. During the detox program, it is a very effective therapy. It supports the body's alkaline level, strengthens the immune system, has anti-aging effects and also promotes detoxification while exhaling.
A single drop of your blood can tell a lot about your lifestyle and diet, your water consumption, the amount of protein and fat you consume, the status of your immune system, the oxidation of your red blood cells and more. All this can be seen on a computer screen. We recommend that you do this analysis before and after the detox process to see the improvement in the blood.
With Live Blood Analysis we will be able to:
- Observe potential problems related to dehydration, oxidative stress and organ toxicity
- Look at protein absorption and assimilation
- Identify possible carbohydrate malabsorption issues
- Identify possible breaches in fat metabolism
- Help you rebalance your blood through lifestyle, emotional and dietary adjustments
- This will provide your internal organs with a healthy environment in which to work effectively and efficiently.
Three or four sessions in the Ozone Sauna per week help you relax and get rid of your stress. It is not a luxury, but a good way to return to healthy and natural methods of living, similar to the tradition of steam, bath and thermal springs that have been around in some cultures for thousands of years.
Ozone Sauna is a new sauna technology that infuses oxygen through steam and hot air into your skin and Body in a special cabin. Oxygen is absorbed through your pores and transferred to your blood system, lymph and fat tissues. The Ozone Sauna detoxifies the lymphatic system, clears the skin, relaxes your muscles, accelerates blood flow and kills bacteria, viruses, and microorganisms. You will have an enjoyable sauna experience while treating your Body with a high level of oxygen and ozone.

Frequently Asked Question about The LifeCo Weight Loss Programs
When we eat food heavy in sugar, the pancreas secretes counter agent quickly to prevent blood sugar from peaking to dangerous levels. After the blood sugar is balanced, the remainder of blood sugar balancing enzymes in our blood circulation demands more sugar. As a result of this unending paradox, it is nowadays very difficult to satisfy our hunger.
In a weight loss retreat at The LifeCo, you will be provided with a meal plan that includes natural living food (plant-based nutrition) to keep the blood sugar levels at optimum level. Due to the nature of this food option with low glycemic index, even when you have sugar resistance you will benefit from the weight loss effects fully.
You can lose weight through various methods and diets. You may prefer an animal protein based diet, or starve yourself or you can simply run on the treadmill the whole day.

I'm so glad for your grand karma - but you're going to the melting pot so you suck (but only for a few twinged minutes of jealously).
Sorry, but I LOVE fondue and well...we can't afford it. (Because of course I'd have to go to Crate & Barrel and buy the best fondue pot they carried...etc, etc.) I was spoiled as a child and had my first fondue at age 7 in Switzerland.
So have some for me :)

Fewer than one in fifteen (6%) of new graduates who move to London come from the most disadvantaged fifth of UK neighbourhoods according to Home Advantage, a new report published by the Sutton Trust today. This contrasts to 42% that come from the most advantaged fifth of UK neighbourhoods. Those from the South East find it easier to gain a foothold in the capital, with fewer than 20% of graduates moving to London from outside the region.
Today's report, by Kath Scanlon, Melissa Fernandez, Emma Sagor and Christine Whitehead of the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), analyses the current housing situation for the young professionals in London and offers innovative solutions to the crisis.
Since 2001, the authors report that London's population has increased by 12%, but the housing stock has only increased by 9% during the same period. For many of the UK's top jobs – in law, medicine, the media and finance – London is the place to be, but young people, especially from disadvantaged backgrounds, are being priced out of the housing market.
High housing demand has left many young graduates caught in a housing trap, where rising private rents leave them unable to save for a deposit. The number of single people aged 25 – 34 living in shared accommodation has risen by 28% in the last decade and in 2014 there were only two London boroughs – Bexley, and Barking and Dagenham – where the average house price was less than eight times an average person's income.
Home Advantage warns that this has worrying implications for social mobility and has led to a growing imbalance between those who can turn to the 'Bank of Mum and Dad' for support – whether by paying a deposit, guaranteeing a loan, or being able to provide accommodation themselves – and those who cannot. Data published in today's report shows there are now more graduates (15%) living with their parents than on their own (11%).
To make sure that working and living in London is a realistic goal for bright young graduates from all backgrounds, the Sutton Trust and the authors of the report are urging candidates in the 2016 mayoral election to consider innovative and new types of housing schemes to address the supply-side problem.
Specifically, the report recommends:
- Market-based student-type housing, which can enable young people to gain a foothold in the capital in the short-term, with a proven track-record of success;
- Age-targeted privately-rented housing developments, which tailors housing design, amenities and business models to suit the needs of young professionals;
- Factory built pre-fabricated housing, which produces simple housing quickly and at limited expense, providing effective transitional housing for those leaving university;
- Covenanted privately-rented housing, where as a condition of planning permission, new dwellings remain in the private rented sector for a set number of years.
Sir Peter Lampl, Chairman of the Sutton Trust and of the Education Endowment Foundation, said today:
"So many of our leading jobs are based in London yet the current housing situation is making it increasingly difficult for graduates from less advantaged homes to move here. Our brightest young people deserve the same chances to reach the top of their professions or to be able to turn their talents into businesses whatever their background."
"Today's report presents some really promising solutions to the housing trap that many young Londoners find themselves caught in. I hope that all the candidates to be London Mayor in 2016 – and the current team in City Hall – will look at these innovative solutions carefully and find ways to take them forward."
Kath Scanlon, LSE Research Fellow and co-author of the report, said:
"Young professionals find themselves little better than non-graduates in the London housing market. Those who move to London almost always have to share with increasing numbers who can live with mum and dad. There are important innovations being tried – but all need scale if they are to be successful."
For further information or to arrange an interview, please contact: Hilary Cornwell or Conor Ryan on 0207 802 1660.
- The Sutton Trust is a foundation set up in 1997, dedicated to improving social mobility through education. It has published over 150 research studies and funded and evaluated programmes that have helped hundreds of thousands of young people of all ages, from early years through to access to the professions.
- To place the movements into London in context, according to the most recent UCAS figures, 11.5% of young first year students enrolled on full-time first degree undergraduate courses are from the most disadvantaged fifth of the UK. This is according to the POLAR2 measure, which classifies UK wards into five groups, based upon the proportion of 18 year olds who enter higher education between the ages of 18 and 19; the same measure used in this report.
- In formulating the report the LSE team analysed Census and Labour Force Survey data, interviewed housing experts and young London tenants, and conducted case studies of several innovative residential developments in the capital. Discussion of the 2012/13 Destination of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) survey was based upon analysis by the Higher Education Careers Services Unit (HECSU).

Longridge businessman Ben Lee, who has bought The Dog Inn, has revealed that he is busy with plans to reopen the site as a community pub.
His purchase has been welcomed by many as halting the flow of local hostelries going for development.
It will be good for Longridge as the town's expanding at a rate of knotsCorporation Arms landlord Paul MacNeil
Long-standing friend and licensee at the Towneley Arms, Charlotte Horobin, said: "It is absolutely fantastic what Ben has done.
"We've been urging him for a long time as the Dog has needed to be open for some time now."
Campaigner Mark Smith is over the moon at the result of sustained efforts by his group to save the Market Place pub.
He added that the Dog Inn's renewal would be good for the community and help other local pubs to maintain business.
John Spencer has lived opposite The Dog for 35 years and said: "I've seen it through its different landlords since it was a true country pub with the bowling green at the back when it was all in very good order.
"It will be good to see it restored to its former glory."
Joan Potter, lollipop lady at the pub's busy junction for 30 years, said: "I've looked at it almost every day and its many incumbents and feel it needs a facelift."
Corporation Arms landlord Paul MacNeil added: "It will be good for Longridge as the town's expanding at a rate of knots."
Nigel Evans MP stressed the importance of the employment the pub industry creates and that the Dog Inn's renewal would provide new employment in the area.
"It is absolutely vital that pubs, and those running them, receive support from the community and from central government. I will use my position in Parliament to make sure that this is the case.
"I very much look forward to raising a glass in the Dog Inn," he added.

About Paroc
In the Innova project, a typical multi-storey house from the 1970s was renovated to meet the Finnish Passive House requirement, that is, the heating energy demand after the renovation is, at a maximum, 25 kWh/m²a. The four-storey-high building, originally constructed in 1975, is located in the Peltosaari area in Riihimäki, and has 33 rental apartments and a day-care centre.
The Innova project started at the beginning of 2010 and aimed to motivate housing cooperatives to carry out energy efficiency improvements. The project searched for innovative methods and solutions for energy efficiency upgrades of the existing building stock.
In August 2010, a four-storey 33-apartment rental building in Riihimäki, built in 1975, was selected for the Innova renovation solution. The existing facades were prefabricated concrete sandwich elements, characteristic for the area.
The renovation includes new doors and windows, balconies, additional thermal insulation and new ventilation system with effective heat recovery. The ventilation unit is equipped with filters to prevent problems with minor infiltration of the exhaust air and the incoming air in the rotating heat exchanger.
Laser scanning measured the exterior of the building and modelled the dimensioning of the elements. The outer concrete pane and the thermal insulation of the old exterior walls were dismantled and replaced by vertical facade elements with a wooden frame structure. The ventilation ducts, windows and the balcony doors were installed in the elements, as the first layer of the plaster rendering of the facades. The elements are transported in horizontal position and will be turned by the crane. The model element was tested at the element factory before the manufacturing was started.
The new renovation method reduces the duration of the on-site construction work. The entire construction phase is planned for completion in five months, which is half the time compared to the respective renovations of similar multi-storey houses in the Peltosaari area. Retrofitting is also an opportunity for up-grading the architecture of the building.

The new façade materials are plaster rendering, cement fibre board (day-care centre) and wood cladding (balconies). The 3-dimensional surface of the plaster rendered façade and the variation of colour show the division of apartments behind the façade. The target of the architectural design was to upgrade the facades, but still maintain a connection to the original character of the building.
The selected renovation system further develops a technique that has been used in retrofit projects in several European countries. In Finland, the method was introduced through the research project TES – Energy Facade by Aalto University, NTNU (Norway) and TU Münich (Germany, coordinator) in 2008–2009 [2]. The Innova project is the first known application on an existing building in Finland.
The Innova project is supported by ARA (the Housing Finance and Development Centre of Finland), Sitra (the Finnish Innovation Fund) and TEKES (the Finnish Funding Agency for Technology and Innovation), as well as several industrial partners, including Recair, Ensto, Lammin Ikkuna and Paroc as the project owner and coordinator. Expert consulting and monitoring after the renovation was carried out by VTT, Technical Research Centre of Finland. Architect SAFA Kimmo Lylykangas was responsible for the architecture and the solution itself. He has participated actively also in the TES-project in Europe.

At midnight, one day in my third year of veterinary school, I found myself in the Intensive Care Unit of the Veterinary teaching hospital. My dog had explosive vomiting and diarrhea all evening. I watched him become lifeless in just a few hours after the symptoms began despite the hours on fluids and life support. Our "Mo" was one of the first victims of a new disease that would later be discovered as parvovirus. Now vaccines are available and millions of dogs have been spared Mo's fate.
When I attended grammar school in the 1950's there was at least one kid in all of my classes who wore braces due to polio. I would spend many days after school playing at a friend's house whose dad was in an iron lung to help him breathe because his chest muscles were paralyzed by polio. Since Dr. Jonas Salk developed the polio vaccine, the disease has been 99% eliminated worldwide. Vaccinations have truly improved the health of us and our dogs. So why is everybody fearful of having their dogs vaccinated?
Vaccine Reactions and Side Effects
There is presently a widely believed idea that vaccination reactions are common and vaccines cause other health problems, like cancer, allergies, overstimulation of the immune system. A recent three-year Canadian study of dogs receiving vaccines found that the occurrences of vaccines reactions are actually low. The range is little as 1 dog in 3,846 for mild to moderate allergic reactions and 1 dog in 5,000,000 for injection site tumors. The other reactions that fell in these ranges included vomiting, diarrhea, pain, lethargy, autoimmune disorders, circulatory collapse and death. Despite these statistics, dog owners are avoiding having their dogs vaccinated. Why?
The fears are that vaccines cause other problems like cancer and autoimmune disorders due to overstimulation of the immune system. Unfortunately, there are no studies to prove this theory. However, I think there may be some truth to this concept that we may later prove. Why? No studies have directly proved the overweight condition in dogs can cause cancer, liver disease, kidney disease, diabetes, bladder stones and arthritis but research shows strong links to these conditions and a dog's weight. We also know that excess fat acts as a gland that produces and release 39 hormones, all of which promote inflammation. It is believed that this constant inflammation is responsible for the long-term effects that cause the conditions in overweight dogs. Research is still outstanding to see if frequent vaccination may overstimulate the immune system and create an inflammatory body environment.
Are Veterinarians Vaccinating too Often?
Veterinarians have done a very poor job of marketing their knowledge. They do not spend enough time explaining what they found on their physical exam of your dog, their thoughts on diagnosis and treatment, and planning prevention strategies. Consequently, owners do not see the value in their dog's exam, and are not inclined to take their dogs to the vet unless they have a problem. The veterinary community's reaction to fewer vet visits is to vaccinate yearly for common diseases so you will bring your dog in for a yearly health exam. Unfortunately, this is an unhealthy strategy-dogs don't need vaccines every year -what they do need is the examination! Protection from distemper and parvovirus last for at least 3 years and in some dogs even longer. The most a dog should be vaccinated is every 3 years, just like rabies. Better is to have your dog tested for vaccine blood titers yearly after three years and only vaccinate when they don't have protective blood titers. We have seen dogs with protection for over 5 years.
Vaccine protection is a must for your dog's comprehensive health program, but over-vaccinating is also a real concern.
The blogs this month are dedicated to Vaccine Awareness Month at The Well Dog Place, so we will be featuring information about contagious illnesses and vaccinating or non-vaccinating strategies for these conditions.
Sign-up for our newsletter and receive even more information about your dog's health.
We encourage vaccine titer testing, so during June Vaccine Awareness Month we are offering 10% off all vaccine titers for your dogs. Schedule online if you like!

Book a Trip via SAME SAME
and indulge in an unforgettable experience
Whether you choose to explore and climb an active volcano or venture into the crystal blue water of the Lombok strait while sailing to or from Komodo…
SAME SAME selected a few of the nicest trekking/trips for you !
We've included the best price/quality options and hand-picked the companies we work with, to ensure you an amazing time!
Flores/Komodo by boat
4 Days, 4 Nights
This 4 day boat trip takes you 350-odd miles eastwards from Lombok to the magical island of Flores.
On the way there you can expect some of the best snorkeling in the world, and cruising through the remote, yet incredible Komodo National Park.
To top it all off, you will met the infamous Komodo dragons. …wear your running shoes in case they get hungry…
Mt. Rinjani Trekking 2D/1N
Two Days, One Night
The 2 Days, 1 Night tour from Sembalun includes the option to summit at sunrise. If you're in amazing shape and love to punish your machine, go for it! Otherwise, take pity on your poor body and give yourself more time on the mountain.
The 2 Days, 1 Night tour trek from Senaru takes trekkers to the crater rim opposite the summit. This is the easiest (not to say that it's easy) of the Mount Rinjani trekking options. You don't get near the summit or the lake but it does provide incredible views of the crater. If you think you can't handle a longer trek but still want to experience Rinjani, this is probably the best option.
Mt. Rinjani Trekking 3D/2N
3 Days, 2 Nights
The most popular option (and the one we recommend) is the 3 days, 2 nights trek. This gives you just enough time to climb to the summit and also visit the crater lake and hot springs. If you're in no rush, consider the 4 days, 3 nights option, which goes to the same locations but provides a little more free time to relax and enjoy Mount Rinjani.

Minnesota United FC owner Bill McGuire had already disappeared into the elevator when I realized I'd forgotten to thank him.
This region is where I have most of my friends and family members and most of my net worth. By committing to buy a Major League Soccer franchise and privately fund a venue for the team to play in St. Paul, McGuire has agreed to make my region a little richer and a little stronger.
Expressing a little gratitude seems appropriate.
I must admit, it's never occurred to me before to say thanks to any of the other major league team owners in our region, but McGuire's professional sports project isn't like theirs.
About the only detail worth quibbling about is a plan that keeps the St. Paul property from being taxed. But not collecting property taxes on a site that hasn't generated property taxes in decades seems hardly worth even calling a cost.
McGuire dropped by for a lengthy conversation this week, just days after he and local officials in St. Paul formally announced a plan for an MLS team to move into its new home stadium in St. Paul in 2018.
McGuire is the principal owner of the new MLS team, having gotten involved in the sport in 2012 when he acquired the local team that plays in the second-tier North American Soccer League. Not long after that he started working on getting a Major League Soccer franchise.
That's quite a different league, of course. The MLS franchise fee alone is reportedly north of $100 million, and the only way to win the right to pay that much is by promising also to have a new stadium just for soccer. Here, that meant privately financing it.
McGuire has attracted some of the savviest business people in our region as partners to his vision for major league soccer, including Taylor Corp. founder and Star Tribune principal owner Glen Taylor, members of the Pohlad family and Wendy Nelson, a member of the family that controls the hospitality firm Carlson.
What's interesting about all this is that they have agreed to invest in something that's far from any sort of traditional business deal.
When looking for investors, McGuire said, he started by looking "for people who have been part of the community and will be part of the community for a long time. And they would look at something like this and say, among its virtues, is that it improves the community."
Each of his partners may have a different idea of just how major league soccer improves the community, he said. Some might like how major league soccer strengthens our connection to the global economy, given that soccer is a true global sport. It's also the kind of regional amenity that helps attract businesses to the state and helps the employers already here recruit top talent.
His investors also may have considered that the country and our region have become more diverse demographically, and soccer is a sport that appeals to people of many cultural backgrounds, bringing them into a shared community experience.
Part of the appeal for investors may also have come from soccer's low cost, at least as compared with ticket prices for National Football League games or other sports. Lower-income families should be able to swing the occasional purchase of seats at soccer matches, with average ticket prices in the low $30s. And families won't even need a car to get to matches once the new stadium opens, with light rail and bus rapid transit to drop passengers just outside the stadium's gates.
McGuire also described the appeal of the project as a way to ignite the redevelopment of a big parcel on Snelling Avenue in St. Paul that's languished for years. It'll be important to him to end up with a striking design for the stadium itself, he said, making sure the design is also a good fit with the area around it.
What McGuire hasn't pitched investors is the opportunity to collect an annual check for a share of the profits. There is no reason to think there will be any.
"The business model, clearly, almost can only be asset appreciation," McGuire said. "But it's a huge amount of capital up front. A quarter of a billion dollars, let's say, between the franchise and the stadium. Down the road will franchises be worth more than they are now? Well, they have been in every other sport. So [investors] can say sure, I can do this, be part of helping the community and I can have an asset."
"Can you make a little money operating? Maybe. But even if you make any you are just putting it back into your enterprise," he said. "In this case we have a stadium that we are building 100 percent, so that means also all the capital improvements will be ours."
Losing money isn't exactly unheard of in the MLS, of course. In the most recent analysis of MLS franchise values by Forbes, on average the teams lost money for the 2014 season, even before taxes, depreciation and amortization expense and any costs for interest.
Forbes estimated that the most valuable franchise is the Seattle Sounders. At its estimated value of just less than $250 million, the most successful franchise in the league is worth about what the McGuire group is going to put into a completely unproven soccer venture here.
Is this still going to be a good deal for McGuire and his partners? Maybe. But it's a relief that they are doing it with their money and not ours.
As he's gotten farther into the project and the spending of time and capital added up, McGuire said, nothing he's learned has changed his thinking about why he wanted to go after a new major league soccer team.
"This is good for our community," McGuire said. "This is really going to be good."

Company Information
Company Name:
BERGER Paints Pakistan Limited
Company Description:
Associated with paint manufacturing for almost 200 years. Berger is an instantly recognized name worldwide. Berger Jenson & Nicholson acquired British Paints in 1969 and as a result of this acquisition the Berger Group, Berger Jenson & Nicholson was formed. In the years prior to this merger, other mergers had brought together Lewis Berger & Sons, with John Hall and Jenson & Nicholson. All these four organizations contributed their various expertise in the areas that they were strong in to the group that had been created.
The strength of Berger in building paints was complimented by British Paints strength in marine coatings, Jenson & Nicholson's pioneer work on color mixing systems and John Halls vast knowledge of the building industry. The Berger Group has 49 manufacturing plants in 32 countries around the world as well as marketing representatives on every continent of the globe. Along with its associated companies Berger employs more than 12000 people and also has a Research & Development capability that is available globally.
In Pakistan, Berger Paints Pakistan Limited came into existence on the 25th of March, 1950 with the opening of Jenson & Nicholson trading company at Karachi. In the start Berger was primarily concerned with importing of paints into Pakistan. The actual manufacturing and production of paints in Pakistan started five years later on the 7th of July 1955. In the year 1973, the company began a process of expansion of its existing capacity, as there was an increase in the demand for paints in the country. One year after the move to expand in-order to cater to the growing demand for paints in Pakistan, Berger had opened a branch in Lahore by 1974. Five years after expansion of Berger started, a branch office was opened in Islamabad in 1978. The Color Advisory Center was also opened in 1974 in Karachi and this followed its way to the cities of Lahore and Islamabad.

PhD Student
Sheen Gurrib completed her undergraduate degree in Materials Science at Oxford University. During her studies, she specialised in Biomaterials and Tissue expansion. Her Master's project focused on the development and application of hydrogels to be used as tissue expanders for the skin. After completion of her four years at Oxford, she joined the CCMM group at Cambridge University for her PhD. Her current project is focused on investigating the effect of vertebral end plate damage on spinal degeneration and chronic low back pain.
Sheen's current research involves collecting sheep spines for dissection and isolation of the vertebral end plates, the thin cartilage layer in between the intervertebral disc and the vertebral bone. The animal samples are being used to perfect protocols and techniques to be then applied to human samples. The novel aspect of this project is the use of human samples obtained from patients undergoing spinal surgeries, such that their recovery progress can be monitored and correlated to laboratory findings.
The aim of the project is to characterise the architectural structure and mechanical properties of the end plates to understand its role in degenerative conditions of the spine. This will help improve diagnosis as well as treatment of low back pain.

Injuries: Hawthorn: J Lewis (corked thigh). Port Adelaide: J Hombsch (concussion).
Umpires: Justin Schmitt, Matt Stevic, Brett Rosebury.
Official Crowd: 74,856 at MCG.
Hawthorn's hot date with Sydney – anticipated since the middle of the 2014 season – has been confirmed after the titleholder survived a terrifying challenge from an indefatigable Port Adelaide.
This preliminary final was an enticing one, since it matched the seasoned, proven champion with the competition's young team of destiny. Unlike North Melbourne, which was unable to match the Swans in any facet, the Power managed to stretch Hawthorn's considerable reserves of class and courage.
The Hawks will play the Swans for the second time in three seasons, and on vastly different terms to the 2012 finale, when the Swans were significant underdogs, and Lance Franklin's mix of brilliance and wastefulness saw Hawthorn fall short.
In this penultimate final, finishing again was the single greatest difference between the ageing champ and the upstart challenger. Port was hard and did the requisite hard-running, but it did not finish in the formative period of the match – the first half, and in particular, the opening quarter.
As Alastair Clarkson later noted, this was the fourth consecutive preliminary final for the Hawks that was decided by under a goal, the 2013 premiers having pipped Geelong last year and surviving a similar scare against Adelaide in 2012.
True to its relentless form under Ken Hinkley, the Power outran the older team in the final term, when a lead of 29 points very suddenly was reduced to three - the final margin. Andrew Moore had an angled shot to secure Port the lead with about two minutes remaining, but couldn't nail it.
Port was pressing throughout the final minutes, as Chad Wingard – quiet throughout – made a dramatic entrance into the match (9 last quarter disposals). His goal and others to Jared Polec and Angus Monfries had the Hawks hanging on by a claw. Hawthorn was not safe until skipper Luke Hodge made a timely smother on Brad Ebert and then received a tough holding the ball free with less than a minute remaining.
In that first quarter, when Port burnt the Hawks all over the field, the Power seldom missed an opportunity to miss an opportunity. It was only late in the game, when the Power charged, that the cost of that waste became retrospectively evident.
Jarryd Roughead's six goals was the decisive contribution from an individual, and while Roughie is a big man who takes big marks, his goal spree was due to his quickness of foot and mind. This was never more evident than in the third quarter, when he booted three – one from clever consecutive soccer kicks, another from 55m after a centre break.
Will Langford's father made his name by curtailing champions such as Stephen Kernahan in grand finals. Langford the younger also played a critical role in Hawthorn's victory. He was sooled on to Port skipper Travis Boak, who had been as influential as any player in the opening half. Langford, a marginal player earlier this season, did more than restrict Boak – he had career highs for disposals, clearances (10) and contested balls.
The match turned in the second term when the Hawks booted six goals and grabbed a lead that Port would never win back.
Port's opening quarter dominance was staggering. Happily for the Hawks, the Power's profligacy – it managed 3.9 – kept the margin to a highly manageable two goals when it could have been at least double that number.
Port's supremacy in the first quarter began in the contest, where it simply smashed the Hawks, who – unusually for the more finals hardened and seasoned side – had the jitters and lacked their trademark attack on the ball and surety of hands.
The contested ball differential was embarrassing for the Hawks, who were almost doubled on this score by a more committed Port, 41 to 21.
The inside 50 count was likewise lopsided (17-7). In many ways, Hawthorn was as dominated as the Tigers were a fortnight earlier, when Port dismembered them in the first 20 minutes.
One difference was the degree of difficulty of the shots – a number were from tight angles. Nontheless, 3.9 ought to have been at least six goals.
Hawthorn was uncharacteristically inept when kicking in after Port's numerous behinds - two of the visitors' three goals, to Robbie Gray and skipper Boak, were scored from botched kick-ins.
Only that other Hawthorn trait - kicking efficiency - kept it thereabouts in the opening 10 minutes. This enabled goals to Roughead and Langford that, remarkably, had the Hawks momentarily snatch the lead at 2.0 to 1.3.
The extent to which Port had blown it in that opening quarter became apparently from the outset of the second term, as Mitchell, Matt Suckling, warriors Jordan Lewis and Hodge lifted in unison.
A subdued Gunston converted a free, then Taylor Duryea was the recipient of a 50-metre penalty for another quick goal.
When Suckling finished off a brilliant possession chain that began in defence, the Hawks had an unexpected lead.
As per usual, Hawthorn had struck suddenly, and the momentum shift was abrupt.
Roughead was enjoying his contest with Alipate Carlise, in what a mobility-based mismatch. Roughead would finish the half with 3.0, as the Hawks began to win some contests, to spread through Suckling and Brad Hill, thus evening up the inside 50 count somewhat (27-22 at half-time). There is no substitute for conversion, and where Port had missed, the Hawks scored - their 6.1 to 2.2 meant a two goal deficit was transformed into an 11-point lead at half-time.
Just 13 minutes in to the final quarter, following a goal square mark to Jack Gunston, that advantage reached 29. The cantering Hawks then slowed. Stopped.
Port finished hard, but couldn't finish early. The Hawks found a way. Buddy and company beckon.

Washington County in the central Florida panhandle has some amazing geological variety! We'll kick off with Friday evening presentations in Chipley on the geology and geomorphology of the area by Harley Means, Carl Froede, and Jon Bryan.
Saturday's field trip will first explore the rarely visited and poorly known area locally called Rock Hill—a very high erosional outlier with "Stonehenge-like" residual boulders. Rock Hill is scarcely mentioned in the geological literature, and difficult to get into. We have access to it through the Florida Nature Conservancy.
The second stop is the must-see Falling Waters State Park, with its 70-foot high waterfall that drops through a solution pipe and into a swallet/cave system. A winding boardwalk provides excellent views around many cover collapse sinkholes. Falling Waters is also the site of one of the early oil test wells (1920) in Florida and some of drilling equipment remains on site. The well reached into the Late Cretaceous (but no oil). We will also discuss the stratigraphy and paleontology of the nearby Duncan Church Quarry, which is one of the few exposures of the Oligocene Bridgeboro Limestone, a fossiliferous and rhodolith-rich facies, equivalent in part to the Suwannee Limestone of the Florida peninsula.
Fieldtrip organizers: Jon Bryan, Carl Froede, Harley Means, and Jen Coor.
Trip Fee and Details: This trip is available to SEGS members, current with 2018 dues. Field trip fee is $35.00, and includes a hardcopy field guide, box lunch (Subway), and entrance to Rock Hill and Falling Waters State Park. Registration is due by 8 October 2018.
Accommodations: To encourage South/Central Florida members to make the road-trip, and to save Saturday night hotel costs after the event, our Treasurer, Andy Lawn, offers free camping on his wooded property 10 miles east of Tallahassee (5421 W W Kelley Rd, Tallahassee, FL 32311). The property has a critter-abundant sinkhole pond with dock for stargazing and an out-building with A/C and screen porch if the weather is bad. He plans a campfire Saturday night, then Sunday kayaking/swimming at beautiful Wacissa River Springs 10 miles further east Sunday morning for a refreshing start to your drive home. You're welcome to visit Friday afternoon to pitch your tent before we head to Chipley at 4:00 PM Eastern Daylight time.
Additionally, a block of 24 rooms has been reserved at the Comfort Inn & Suites in Chipley (1140 Motel Dr Chipley, FL 32428; 850-415-1111; choicehotels.com) for Friday evening, October 12th. Rate is $80.00/night, with free wifi, parking, pool/hot tub, and breakfast. We hope you will take advantage of these accommodations. If we need more than 24 room, the neighboring motels have agreed to accept the overflow, and all are welcome at the Comfort Inn for breakfast.
Age and Safety Restrictions: Children are welcome with completed waiver and accompanying adult. Safety glasses (sunglasses), shirts, and closed-toe shoes are required. Drinks, sunscreen, and insect repellent are recommended.
6:00 PM (Central Daylight Time), Friday, 12 October 2018
Meet at Javier's Mexican Grill, 1414 Main St., Chipley, FL 32428, Phone: 850-638-2270. The restaurant has 2 large rooms and we have reserved one of them for dinner and presentations. Presentations on the geology and geomorphology of the area by Harley Means, Carl Froede, and Jon Bryan. Lodging at nearby Comfort Inn & Suites or at Andy Lawn's property (see "Accommodations" above).
8:00 AM (CDT), Saturday, 13 October 2018
Assemble at parking lot of Comfort Inn and Suites. Convoy to designated area and use 4WD vehicles (only) to enter the Rock Hill property. Depending on the number of 4WD vehicles available, we will have to make a couple of runs to get everyone in (the entrance is only ~2.5 miles from town). After Rock Hill, we will return to Chipley to retrieve any vehicles, and convoy to Falling Waters State Park on SR-77A (Falling Waters Road, ~ 6 miles). Lunch at FWSP.

5 Skin Mistakes Your Skin Wished You Knew
Beauty is to many women what air is to life. We simply can't live without it, but there are routines that are not friendly to our skin. Here are five skin mistakes to avoid
If only we could sing along to and actually believe Beyonce's Flawless single. A beautiful and youthful skin is what we all want and hence we invest in our beauty traditions. But many of us are culprits to skin mistakes our skins wish we'd stop doing, especially, if like me yours breaks out often. Here are skin mistakes you need to avoid at all costs this year:
Sleeping with your makeup on: To many, 24 hours don't seem to be enough in a day and this often results in bad lifestyle and even beauty habits. Makeup clogs your skin, resulting in more breakouts and skin damage. No matter how exhausted you might be, invest in cleansing, toning and moisturising your skin. It might seem daunting but the results are rewarding.
Not protecting your skin with sun lotion: My dermatologist almost chewed me when I told her that I didn't use sun lotion. It's the first thing I bought after leaving her room! Not using sun lotion is a crime every skin expert would arrest you for if they could. Make sure you protect your skin with sun lotion, no matter the amount of SPF your make-up range contains.
Making an unhealthy lifestyle a habit: Overdosing on Junk food, especially rich in carbohydrates and drinking less water is hazardous not only on your overall health but on your skin. We are what we eat, and our skin is one of the biggest indicators of the lifestyle we choose.
Not exfoliating your skin: Big mistake. There is so much that your skin already does for you; it's vital that you take good care of it. Exfoliating your skin is important to remove sebum, dirt and dead cells and to maintain that youthful, great looking skin.
Not having enough sleep: While sleeping for 8 to 10 hours is a dream for many hustlers, it's an essential, natural and free beauty ingredient to invest in. The term, "beauty sleep," is really not a fantasy but an important reality. Challenge yourself to sleep more than eight hours for a week and see what difference it will make.

The use of the Internet changes the personal idea of time
Summary: Why internet users have another idea of the passing of time? A single subject is doing many things at the same time and it divides the time in different vectors. It trains the brain to perform multi-task actions even in the real world.
The development of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) especially through the Internet has created a new world, the one we called web, cyber or digital world, as a separated reality. This is a matter of study by many areas and as we still in a very early stage; much things are under research in our time. Sociology, anthropology, psychology and many others are witnessing a revolution in humanity, while areas such as journalism, law, politics, culture, are overloaded by a tsunami of information that was unexpected three decades ago. We are in the post-industrial revolution, a time that goes from the industrial production to the reign of the service society and information (Bell, 1973). It changes also the mind of the peoples, divided by now between digital natives, digital migrants and non-digitals.
The Illusion of Time
Albert Einstein taught us about the relativity of time. Although he is the genius of the relative theory, we can make an extensive study about time and how it has been the matter of reflection through the centuries, from the Chinese and Indians to the Greek philosophers.
The question of time is doubtless important to the question for the Being. Heidegger, for example, makes the study about time at the same level of the study of being. For him, time is a property that is reduced to the duration of movement and its intervals, while Hegel speaks about the intuition of movement or intuited becoming, reducing the time to the conscience or to the soul, following Saint Agustin, who stated the existence of three presents: the present of the past, the present of the present and the present of the future.
The ancient Greek philosophers talked about the becoming where time was a permanent change. In reality nothing is static, but dynamic, a flow of events. There is not a present, but now that is an ephemeral present. What is now comes to be past very soon. Becoming is a process of being or the being as a process. For this reason, we can find in many sources the opposition between being and becoming.
In Indian philosophy the man is subjected to natural laws. It is as one person standing on a river, while the water is flowing through his feet. As the water flows, he understands parts of true, he discovers the interior man. The history is just a flow. What remains is the real being, the one that is not altering.
"As time flows, this structure of fixed past, immediate present and open future gets carried forward in time. This structure is built into our language, thought and behavior. How we live our lives hangs on it." (Callender, 2010)
Time and space in the industrial societies
The Internet revolution has affected things such as the conception of time and space.
The time is an illusion as this video of AskingScience shows. The time in rural societies is completely different of the time in industrialized societies, because that time depends on production. A family living in a rural farm in Kompung Cham, Cambodia does not have the same idea of time of a family living in Bangkok or Manila. They are completely different, even if they take lunch at 12 O'Clock, at the same time. For a rural family, time is slower, while a Bangkok family sees the succession of events in a very fast way. The speed of time for a Bankok viewer depends on the speed of production and the distances between his/her residence and the factory. It comes from the natural spots that measure time: in the rural areas, time is measured by the stars, moon, sun, seasons, harvest. In Bangkok, there is a clock everywhere, the train runs in a very precise time, taxis and tuk tuks go and come along big avenues, the hurry is everywhere to be at time for production.
In Buddhism to get conscience of the present moment is very important to reach the full awaken. It is actually a very important point for our busy life. The danger of the industrial time is that you lost the purpose of your life by running from station to station, from office to office, from agenda to agenda. There is not more time for you, because you have to fulfill compromises that come to nothing. When people get old in industrialized societies, they are put aside as useless and they are condemned to loneliness. Those persons, who were too much busy since they were teenagers to about 50 or 60 years old, are now sent to the boredom of inaction. Because they were never conscience of their own present moment, they do not know what to do with much time on their hands.
In Christianity there is also a point on the present moment:
"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own" (Matthew 6, 34)
Evidently, it crushes with the mentality of the industrial societies.
Time in the information societies
The time in the information societies (post-industrial societies) differs very much from the one of the industrial contexts and it belongs to the new generations, the native digital generation.
At the industrial societies the hurry is for industrial production. Everybody is a clone of production, inserted in a chain, from the simplest worker to the most high collar boss. In industrial societies space is also very important. Persons are required to stay in a position, to keep their place, to move from one point to another in time. It pushed the development of urban and international transport to be able to move many people from one point to other of the world geography. Every century continents were easier to reach at any cost, like the Titanic rushing through the North Sea to overcome the spaces between Europe and America in a record time.
The Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are changing it. The digital migrants (those who are migrants to ICT) can prove it very easy. In the information societies there is not the hurry for mass production, because there is a big move to societies of services. In this sense, time is not more a worry. It flows near to that of the farms, although this comparison can be too daring.
People are connected 24 hours that means connected all the time. It breaks out the limit of time established by the factory clock. People work all the time and in that time, relates with others, deleting the limits between private and public, intimate and open. The subject becomes a multi-task performer: doing the report on a collaborative online document with his companions (some of them based in other cities or even countries), talking with his dear ones through a chat and surfing pictures in other tab of his browser.
Space has changed. In a near future places like libraries, offices, classrooms… will become museums. An office was a closed room where a manager stays for long hours of the day (8AM to 5PM), storing hard copies of information, attending clients, managing the staff. The ICT office is an IPhone or a laptop. Now you don't need to go to the office anymore. It is possible to work from home, from the pool or a hotel or from the beach, provided there is internet connection. Companies celebrate already video conference meetings. In the future, international gatherings will not mean the physical moving of representatives from different countries, but the space-craft will be a huge connection to guarantee full participation – access, each delegation joining from their own country. Space became virtual.
There is no hurry anymore. The hurry is to be connected to any ICT terminal. People meet at the cafés in order to open their iPhones and chat with other people at the other side of the system. What they say? Why they don't talk with the real person in front to him/her at that present moment?
The Internet is not a site or a simple mass media as radio and television. When a person watches television, this person concentrates to what he or she is watching. It is already an old practice. It will come soon that people will click links on their television screen. Internet is a big city with millions of streets to go through. It is the same as a virtual world like SecondLife where it is possible to adopt other identities and even fulfill dreams. Those shy young people, who find difficult to relate with others at school, are brave and challenging on Facebook or in any chat. One minute becomes one hour and it is the illusion of Internet time and the key for addiction. As there is not already a limit, as it is possible to keep on unending conversations, time runs slowly for the user, but faster in the real world.
An internet user changes his perspective of time. An external observer can conclude that an internet user has been for two hours on the internet and that it is too much time. But the internet user has the impression that he has been online for only few minutes. Time became virtual.
The reason could be in the multi-task dimension of the internet (the browser taps, the Windows, the different Software running at the same time, the variety of terminals such as iPhones, Tablets…) It is possible to start a conversation with someone on chat. This is not the same kind of conversations on real time where you get replies as soon as you pronounce questions. On a chat conversation, people can write down a question and get the answer anytime. This is a virtual conversation. The multi-task dimension creates many times. A single subject is doing many things at the same time and it divides the time in different vectors. It trains the brain to perform multi-task actions even in the real world. Because the subject creates in his mind many vectors of time, he ignores the real time and thinks he has been online for few minutes, although it has been hours.
The youth of the information society do not put attention to a single source of information (the teacher on the class or the father giving advice.) The most important is that a kid could follow what the teacher is saying, while looking online for complementary information (linked information) or chatting with a friend. It poses a problem for persons from the industrial time that want to focus on a single action (don't lost time.) However, it is necessary to train well that multi-task tendency promoted by the ICT media. The key could be to create a real interaction between the multi-task actions. If the teacher gives a lesson about geography, he should encourage students to open different tabs, Windows and software about what he is explaining. Students can see how a Tokyo avenue looks like just watching a video clip on Youtube and it is much objective that reading a hard text on a book with old photos that cannot be clicked.
The speed connection is very important in this process. People will pay anything to have a speeder connection, because they want to go fast from click to click. Speed connection is like the means of transport in a big metropolis (metro). Then, a user can wait even the slowest connection when they are surfing the Internet. It makes that the eyes are fixed in the screen for a long time and the user lost conscience of it and the body position. The mind enters the net in complete manner, like going to the astral. The times for lunch and dinner, the time for going bed, the times for sport and study are already bounded to the time of Internet.
Focus on time
A good practice to recommend to young Internet users such as students and workers is to focus on time. It is necessary to make conscience a purpose in order to access the Internet. Doing this exercise can help very much to control the passing of time, while not getting lost in the streets of the Internet metropolis. What am I going to look online? For which purpose? For how long I will be online? Doing these questions help to focus the online activity.
Using the Bookmarks to keep useful links in order to return to them in a future search, learning how to profit in a good way the resources provided by the search engines, training in the practical use of social networks connected to the work or studies and many other sources that could facilitate the focus on time when you surf online.
Some practical recommendations in the education of children and young people of the digital era:
– Train the youth to use the internet in established times and not anytime. "You have one hour to use the Internet" is a good disposition to help them to distribute their time in a proper manner. Multi-task actions can divert the user from his/her original purpose. Why are you going to use the Internet? Which information are you going to look for? These questions are very important for young users of the Internet. There are three purposes: information, education and entertainment. As just as it is in real time, every purpose has its own time (Do you play football while doing your homework?)
– Do not demonize the Internet in front of children and young people. You will be perceived as a barking dinosaur. It is usual that those who do not like the Internet are very ignorant about the million possibilities of the Internet in education, formation and culture. Internet, as any other means of communication, is a tool.
– Admire the good works of the youth online (their blogs, social networks, designs and even their video games.) They will be ready to listen to your advice when you need to prevent them from a bad use of the Internet. It is important that educators know very well the Internet in order to prevent the children and youth from getting into online troubles. Digital migrants need to make this effort to be permanent updated on it. How much do you know about online security (hackers, virus, spies)? Are you well informed of how to protect privacy online? Do you know how to protect and prevent child and young children when they use the internet? Do you enrich and update your lessons' master plan using the internet resources? Do you know how to use in a proper way an email, a search engine, a collaborative project, a cloud, a blog, a social network, a wiki…?
– Give a great important to personal communication, sport, art, cultural activities (dance, theater, etc.) Integrate it with the ICT media in a proper way, for example, a football competition has its own Facebook and Twitter pages, with a Youtube channel, where the children and youth can follow the last updates, see the portray of the best sportsmen, their success (scores), interviews, etc. It will create a great interest in the football fields and tribunes, because every real action will be expressed through the Internet that is a natural field for your youth. Other ideas:
- The school music band audio-blog.
- The school web radio station.
- The school troupe Vimeo channel with video clips of the last performances.
- The Facebook page of the course (normally it becomes two: the one with the teacher that comes to be more official, sharing the homework, even notes, etc.; and the one of only the students.)
– Be aware of online bulling. Educators should be familiar with the social networks of their students, as well as to get interest about what their students do online and how it reflects their own personal problems. Internet culture and ethics should be included in any school curriculum promoting tolerance, respect for intellectual property, the possible viral consequence of any online action (what it is said or share online, cannot be deleted) and thus to be responsible for what we do online.
