Perhaps the most popular attractions of Isagenix and Herbalife are their weight loss programs, through which many people have lost weight. However, these programs contain large amounts of sugar, which means people are just replacing fat with sugar, an even more deadly substance for their body!
Of course, anyone who replaces meals with liquids for a long period of time will lose weight, even if those liquids are full of unhealthy substances, because of decreased calorie intake. But unfortunately, people using these sugary products will remain addicted to sugar, which causes Type II Diabetes, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, tooth decay, liver disease, fatty liver syndrome, heart disease, cardiovascular problems and many more serious problems. Click the link below for more information on how sugar can destroy the insides of even the skinniest and fittest-looking people.
There is more to being healthy than just looking thin!!
Sugar also contributes to cellulite which is why even skinny people can have cellulite if they have an unhealthy sugary diet.
The World Health Organisation recommends a daily intake of no more than 24 grams (6 teaspoons) of sugar per day for adults. (SOURCE: World Health Organisation). The only really worthwhile way to get those 6 teaspoons of sugar from a healthy source is to eat two pieces of whole fruit (an average pear contains about 3 teaspoons of sugar). There is absolutely no reason to add lots of extra sugar in the other things we eat, ESPECIALLY not diet and weight-loss supplements!
Many people, like me, are now cutting out sugar almost entirely (except for 2 pieces of whole fruit a day and microscopic amounts in some other foods) as they realise how bad it is for their waistline, liver and general wellbeing!
According to the Isagenix 30-Day Cleanse Program instructions, how many serves of these products are you supposed to consume per day?
Cleanse Day (once a week)
- 4 x Cleanse for Life = 28g of sugar
- 1 x Ionix Supreme = 7g of sugar
- Up to 6 Isagenix Snacks = 18g of sugar
- 2 other suggested snacks = 9-11g of sugar
TOTAL FOR THE DAY: 64g of sugar (16 teaspoons)!!!
Shake Days (6 days a week for 30 days)
- 2 x IsaLean shakes = 22g
- 1 x Ionix = 14g
- 2 x suggested snacks = 9-11g
TOTAL: 45-47 grams per day (12 teaspoons)!!!
SOURCE: Isagenix Website.
And that is just the sugar content in the so-called "health supplements". Once you add in meals (1 allowed each day on shake days), your sugar content may increase even MORE if you consume things such as fruit, canned fruit, dried fruit, yoghurt, honey, salad dressing, ketchup, barbecue sauce, mayonnaise, sweet chilli sauce, or other sauces.
If sugar is already found in so many things we eat, and we want to keep our consumption down, why add so much sugar into the health supplements? It's not necessary!
Other Health Concerns about Isagenix
- Harriet A. Hall of Science-Based Medicine published a lengthy critique of Isagenix products, noting that claims made about the products are false and misleading, and that the amount of vitamin A in some of the products is dangerous and goes against the recommendations of The Medical Letter.
- According to a report by Australian consumer organization CHOICE the company's "nutritional cleansing" product makes claims which are not supported by science. Additionally, other Isagenix's weight-loss products are similar in content to much cheaper store-bought alternatives. SOURCE: Isagenix Under the Microscope
Herbalife products are made in China and have had lead contamination problems in the past, which is cause to question its quality control. And although it does not have as many sugary products as Isagenix, it does have some sugar in it. Its weight-loss program consists mainly of vitamin supplement pills, and one very famous shake called the Formula 1. You are supposed to take 2 serves of Formula 1 every day in place of meals… not just for a cleansing period, but it would seem… permanently.
Unfortunately, if anyone took the time to look at the ingredients list, they would notice that the MAIN ingredient in the Formula 1 "protein" shake is not protein, but FRUCTOSE (sugar). That certainly detracts from it's "health drink" credibility a little.
How do I know this? Because by law, ingredients in a product must be listed in DESCENDING ORDER of weight. So the main ingredient is listed first, followed by the second, third and so on. It's pretty simple.
But obviously, many people do not know this. Because Herbalife's Formula 1 shake is one of the most popular "weight loss" shakes in the world, despite the fact that the MAIN INGREDIENT is FRUCTOSE (sugar).
I know what you're thinking: "Well, fructose must be fine, because it comes from fruit." WRONG.
Fructose = a fancy scientific name for sugar.
Unless it is surrounded by crunchy fresh fibrous plant matter (i.e. it's an apple) then it is NOT fruit. It has been extracted from something that was once a plant (e.g. the sugar cane plant, or sugar beet) and refined beyond recognition into a concentrated, very unhealthy substance called fructose i.e. SUGAR.
Fructose is the worst type of sugar, responsible for Type II Diabetes, tooth decay, liver disease, fatty liver syndrome, cellulite, and more.
Formula 1 contains 14g (3.5 teaspoons) of sugar per serving. You are recommended to take 2 shakes per day which results in 28g (7 teaspoons) of sugar per day. That's nowhere near as much as the Isagenix program's sugar content, but it's still a little over the WHO's Daily Recommended Intake of 6 teaspoons. And when you eat your two fruit for the day, your daily sugar intake will go up to about 13 teaspoons. It would be better to just eat the fruit and skip the shake if you want to keep your daily sugar intake within recommended limits!
Other health concerns about Herbalife
- In 1985, the California Attorney General sued the company for making inflated claims about the efficacy of its products. The company settled the suit for $850,000 without admitting wrongdoing. [1]
- Ephedrine: Some of the original Herbalife weight loss products included herbs containing ephedrine, Ephedra sinica (ma huang) and Sida cordifolia. Ephedrine suppresses appetite; it is closely related to pseudoephedrine, and, like the latter compound, it acts as a nasal decongestant and can increase the heart rate. Plant sources of ephedrine were removed from Herbalife products in 2002 after several U.S. states banned supplements containing such herbs [2], [3] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration banned supplements containing ephedrine in 2004.[4]
- Lead contamination: In May 2008, an organization known as the Fraud Discovery Institute, [5] reported that laboratory test results of Herbalife products showed lead levels in excess of limits established by law in California under Proposition 65. Multiple independent labs reported finding lead in Herbalife products. [6] [7] [8] [9] Herbalife responded by stating its products met federal FDA requirements.
- Lead poisoning: On May 10, 2008, a suit was filed on behalf of a woman who developed lead-related liver complaints that she claimed were a reaction to a combination of Herbalife products.[10][11] The suit was filed by lawyer Christopher Grell, cofounder of the Dietary Supplement Safety Committee and an ally of Barry Minkow.[10] On June 17, 2008, the suit was expanded to add distributors who had supplied the woman with the Herbalife products, with Grell launching a website to offer persons who believe they were harmed by Herbalife products the chance of redress.
- Liver complaints: In 2004, Israel's Health Minister began an investigation into Herbalife's products after four persons using Herbalife's products were found to have liver problems. [12]
- Hepatitis Scare: Scientific studies in 2007 by doctors at the University Hospital of Bern in Switzerland and the Liver Unit of the Hadassah-Hebrew University Medical Center in Israel found an association between consumption of Herbalife products and hepatitis.[12][13] In response, the Spanish Ministry of Health issued an alert asking for caution in consuming Herbalife products.
So, is there a health supplement program which actually WORKS?
Yes. Better, healthier alternatives than Isagenix and Herbalife are available. Forever Living's Clean 9 program is much healthier way to nourish your body because it is very low in fructose (sugar), that is, less than 1 teaspoon of sugar in the program per day. The Forever Lite Ultra Meal Replacement Shake contains 1 gram (a quarter teaspoon) of sugar. That's enough to help it taste great without adding to your waistline! Most of the flavour comes from natural cocoa. And the main ingredient is – yep – PROTEIN! What you would expect from a protein shake!
During the Clean 9 program you don't just replace meals with a protein shake. Added nourishment is obtained from pure Aloe Vera Gel which is a totally fructose-free raw nourishing plant food. You also take bee pollen, a powerful raw nutritional food which may have traces of fructose (nectar from flowers) however the amount is so small, it is only a fraction of a gram in each tablet so the total of 6 bee pollen tablets taken each day would give you no more than 1 gram of sugar.
During Phase 1 (Cleanse days – days 1 and 2) you take 1 shake and 6 bee pollen each day which equals 2g (half a teaspoon) of sugar. You don't eat anything during this phase.
During Phase 2 (days 3 – 9) you take 2 shakes and 6 bee pollen each day, which equals 3g (three quarters of a teaspoon) of sugar each day. On top of that, you're allowed one meal a day which means you still have room for 2 pieces of fruit (choose fruits that are high in antioxidants and low in fructose, such as berries and kiwis) and you can easily remain within your daily recommended dosage of 6 teaspoons while doing this program!
With Forever Living, you can gain all the cleansing effects of the other programs, but you ALSO keep your sugar intake at a minimum. This means you can overcome your sugar addictions and cravings and learn healthier eating habits FOR LIFE.
Many people such as myself have lost noticeable weight in just 9 days using the Clean 9. I I was able to kick my sugar addiction for GOOD using this program, so that afterwards I have continued to eat less than 6 teaspoons of sugar a day ever since! As a result, the weight I lost has stayed off, and continuing to use the Forever supplements has helped me stay fit and feel amazing!
If you want even more results, it is fine to do two Clean 9 programs back to back, but no more than that in every 3 month period. After finishing the cleanse program/s you can continue using Forever's health supplements on top of a healthy diet and lifestyle to keep in optimum health and build muscle if you wish, but it's totally up to you! Nine days is enough to see huge results!*

Click the link below to learn more about Forever Living's nutritional supplements:
NOTE: Some products in Forever Living's range DO contain noticeable amounts of sugar, for example the Forever Fast Break bar, which is recommended for sports people to gain maximum energy before intense workouts, or the Forever Aloe Bits N Peaches drink. However these products are NOT included in the weight loss program! There is a distinct separation between the products which contain sugar and those which are designed to be used for weight loss!
Here are some more reasons to choose Forever Living Products for your Weight Management and health supplementation needs:
- No tie-in: No automatic shipments, no automatic deductions from your bank account / credit card. Order and pay only when you want to. 30-day money-back guarantee.
- Impeccable safety history: Forever Living has been around since 1978, making it older than Herbalife, yet unlike Herbalife, throughout its history, not one single person has reported a medical problem as a side-effect of taking Forever Living's products.*
- Natural: All products are based on natural, hand-picked, pesticide-free, herbicide-free, GMO-free aloe vera and bee products which Forever Living grows itself. Forever Living owns and controls the entire production process including the farms, processing and manufacturing, with the strictest quality control measures. Herbalife by comparison uses imported ingredients (e.g. ingredients grown in China), has its Manufacturing Plant in China, and has had problems in the past with its products being contaminated with lead!
- Gluten-free and vegan friendly: Our meal-replacement shake is gluten-free and Vegan (assuming you drink it with soy milk). The only non-vegetarian aspect of the Clean 9 Program are the softgel tablets which contain gelatin and the Arctic Sea (fish oil tablets). If you are vegan/vegetarian you can replace these with vegan Omega-3 tablets.
As you can see from the table below Forever Living has been around longer and has more than twice the number of dedicated members than the other two companies combined. It also operates in over 150 countries, making it a truly global success! All of this is testament to its high quality, reliable products which WORK.
* If you have a medical condition or are on medications, always consult your doctor before doing any Cleanse or weight loss program, or taking any supplements, as supplements can interact with some medications and conditions. Do not use the Clean 9 Program if you have epilepsy or are pregnant or breastfeeding, for example. (The same advice applies for ANY weight-loss or supplement program).
What about the Personal Care Products?
Herbalife products are made in China and tested on animals.
Forever Living's products are grown and manufactured in the USA and Dominican Republic, PETA approved (not tested on animals) with the Leaping Bunny certification. In the Dominican Republic, staff at the farms and processing facilities are paid so well that there is a long waiting list of Dominicans trying to get a job at Forever Living.
Herbalife is not PETA approved. Herbalife manufacture their products in China, where animal testing is compulsory by law.
How "natural" and "herbal" are your products really?
In the the large majority of Forever Living's products (E.g. skincare products, hair care products, personal care products, cleaning products), pure natural ALOE VERA is the MAIN ingredient, which is evidenced by the fact that it is listed FIRST on all the product labels. This means the products really are made mainly from natural ingredients (with just small amounts of other ingredients added to preserve the aloe and stop it from going bad).
By comparison, many of our competitors' products are made mainly from chemical-based substances, detergents, and water with only small amounts of natural substances added. This includes brands advertised as "herbal" and "natural". There is no regulation of these words being used to label products, so many products use these words even though they actually contain very small amounts of natural ingredients, if any.
Herbalife is very secretive about the ingredients in their personal care products and I could not find any ingredients list anywhere on their website or anywhere else online. Safe to say that my findings are inconclusive as to whether their skincare, hair care, and personal care products are made from natural ingredients!
However, to give an example from the supermarket: In all shampoos by the brand "Herbal Essences", the main ingredient is Water (Eau/Aqua), followed by Sodium Lauryl Sulphate / Sodium Laureth Sulfate. The "herbal" ingredients such as citrus and coconut are usually found in miniscule amounts far down in the ingredients list – they often constitute less than 1% of the product. By contrast, Forever Living's shampoo's MAIN ingredient is Aloe Vera! Therefore, unlike most of our competitors, it is ACTUALLY made mainly from natural ingredients, which are gentle and safe for your body!
The two pictures above are basically representative of most other brands of hair care, skin care and personal care in supermarkets – even those labelled as "natural" and "organic". If you don't believe me, I challenge you to go to your local supermarket, and find a single shampoo, conditioner, or body wash / hand wash / liquid soap which does not list Water and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate / Sodium Laureth Sulfate as the first two ingredients! Other things to take note of are:
- In most deodorants, aluminium (a poison) is the main ingredient. Next time you are at the supermarket, check the label of all the deodorants. Forever Living's deodorant contains no aluminium and the main ingredient is Aloe Vera.
- Most toothpastes contain fluoride (a poison). Forever Living's tooth gel contains no fluoride and the main ingredient is Aloe Vera.
- Most fish oil supplements are sourced from farmed fish, which are opposed by environmentalists and health experts alike because the way the fish are treated and farmed is detrimental to the environment as well as the nutrient levels in the fish. Forever Living's Arctic Sea fish oil is sourced only from sustainably caught, wild healthy fish.

Miuccia Prada presented highly practical Fall-Winter collection of women's ready to wear garments. Her wardrobe pieces look easy, tough and cinematic. Here you will find relaxed off-the-shoulder dresses, gray cardigans, asymmetrical hemmed skirts, full-skirted coats, slouchy sweaters, belted skirt suits and brown leather high-heeled sandals. The color palette features ice blue, gold leather, brown, turquoise, ochre, gray, red, baby pink, and rust. I would say it's a glamour of the 1940's and 1950's, as models appeared in tweed, check prints, fur, metallic leather garments.

Apparently soon there will be a dumbing down of comedy on our TV's. In an attempt to eradicate genuinely distasteful episodes like the Ross/Brand phone calls, it seems that political correctness has kicked in again at the BBC. New rules would mean that comedy scenes like 'The Germans' from Fawlty Towers would not be allowed any more, and shows like Have I got News for You would all have their wings clipped to such an extent that they would not be worth making. Characters like Basil Fawlty would cease to exist and people like Ian Hislop would be banished from providing all of us who are bored and frustrated with the political correctness of our nation with a well needed bout of laughter at the weekend. Stephen Fry wouldn't even get a look in.
In another report today, a teacher with 38 years experience took a child by the scruff of the neck and put him in a cupboard for apparently telling a racist joke repeatedly in class. Good on him (the teacher) I say. However, the teacher has now been convicted of assault. When I was young, bad behaviour was treated with a ruler rapped across the knuckles, or a slipper whacked across the backside. I wonder what treatment that would have got in the courts these days.
It's crazy.
In fact, maybe it's the BBC that should be in the dock, not the teacher.
Rather than curtail all our fun and stop great comedians providing colour and richness and laughter to our world, maybe the best thing would be that if they do occasionally cross the line, we should just take them by the scruff of the neck and chuck them in a cupboard for a few hours. The thought of Basil Fawlty and Stephen Fry having 'cupboard time' is quite amusing in itself. Maybe they would come up with a few more jokes whilst they were in there.
Come on the UK. Get a grip.

Contract management, sometimes referred to as contract administration, refers to the processes and procedures that companies may implement in order to manage the negotiation, execution, performance, modification and termination of contracts with various parties including customers, vendors, distributors, contractors and employees. While business people often dismiss contract preparation as "lawyer's work" that has little or nothing to do with the important aspects of the working relationship between the contractual parties, contracting is actually one of the crucial activities in determining the success of any business arrangement. While the essential steps in the contracting process will vary depending on the type and scope of the transaction, and the point at which counsel is brought into the discussions, contract formation and management typically involves most or all of the following:
- Investigation of the business and legal background for the particular transaction and determination of the role that counsel is expected to play in the contracting process.
- Identification of the contracts and related documents required to complete the transaction and establishment of a time and responsibility schedule for drafting, review, discussion, revision and completion of all of the required items.
- Review and evaluation of the related contracts and existing obligations of the company that might be impacted by the specific contract currently under discussion.
- Collection and review of information regarding the business and legal affairs of the other party to the proposed transaction.
- Preparation of the initial draft of each of the required contracts and related documents or, in cases where the opposite party is responsible for drafting, review of the initial draft of such items prepared by the opposite party.
- Discussion of necessary changes in the initial drafts, negotiation of the same and preparation of the final drafts of the contracts and related documents for signature.
- Preparation for, and completion of, the closing of the transaction at which time all contracts and related documents are executed and exchanged and any required performance at the closing (e.g., cash payments) is completed.
- Ongoing review of the performance of each of the parties under the terms of the contract, at least in those cases where the contract is long-term and calls for continuous performance over an extended period of time.
The timing and sequence of these steps may be impacted by other conditions unique to the transaction. For example, while the parties may quickly reach agreement on the content of the contracts, the actual closing may be deferred pending receipt of approvals from governmental officials or completion and delivery of various reports and opinions from third parties.
This month's supplement to Business Transactions Solution on WESTLAW includes a new chapter on Contract Management (§§ 227:1 et seq.) that covers the creation and use of procedures relating to negotiation, formation and management of effective and enforceable contracts. The chapter describes the essential steps in the contracting process; investigation of business and legal issues; defining the role of counsel in the contracting process; and establishment and administration of a contract review and signature authority policy. The specialty forms library includes various forms for use in creating and administering a corporate contracting program including policies and procedures for negotiating and entering into contracts or leases, a contract review summary, procedures for review and approval of proposed contracts, a memorandum to officers, managers, and employees regarding contract review and approval procedures; and a memorandum from the general counsel to members of the corporate legal department regarding guidelines to be followed for effective contract management. The chapter also includes a contract formation and administration checklist, client executive summaries regarding contract management and basic procedures for contract review and approval, a slide deck presentation on contract management to be used for law firm and department training purposes and a memorandum on steps that attorneys can take to develop their own library of forms in order to be a more efficient contract drafter. For issues relating to drafting of particular types of contracts, reference should be made to the materials for the specific transaction in which such contracts are commonly used. Related information is included in Contract Formation and Performance (§§ 100:1 et seq.), Compliance Programs (§§ 223:1 et seq.) and Records Retention (§§ 228:1 et seq.).

- Court: Oregon Court of Appeals
- Area(s) of Law: Administrative Law
- Date Filed: 08-19-2015
- Case #: A156161
- Judge(s)/Court Below: Armstrong, P.J.; Nakamoto, J.; & Egan, J. Per Curiam.
- Full Text Opinion
Petitioners Eastern Oregon Mining Association, Waldo Mining District, and four individual miners appealed from a motion for summary judgment granted in favor of Respondent Department of Environmental Quality, which dismissed a consolidated action that was settled by the parties. The issue below involved judicial review of a 2010 permit, which expired in 2014 during the pendency of this appeal. A new permit covering the same activities was issued in 2015 that Petitioners have not challenged; however, Petitioners argued the appeal should be allowed under under ORS 14.175 because the issues with the 2015 permit are the same as with the 2010 permit and are likely to evade judicial review. Respondent argued on appeal, and the Court agreed, that Petitioners may effectively challenge the 2015 permit in a case that is not moot using substantially the same work they did to challenge the 2010 permit. Motion to dismiss granted; appeal dismissed as moot.

For the Bulletin
Obviously, it's a very sad time for Mayfield football, but it's also a very sad time for high school football nationwide.
It's been more than 15 years since I've actually covered a Mayfield High School game, but in those years since I've left Las Cruces, there have been hundreds, if not thousands, of situations where something coach Bradley taught me has been helpful.
I can still remember my first high school football season in Las Cruces. I wasn't doing the type of job that coach Bradley felt was right for the newspaper. I later found out that he thought I was a damn "Carpetbagger" from Illinois. It took some time, but with coach Bradley's help, I was able to become a better sportswriter.
His love for Las Cruces was second to none and his ability to teach was phenomenal. He truly got the best out of the lives of everyone he touched, whether a player, a coach, or in my case, a sportswriter.
That's a very, very special gift.
My fondest memories are not on the football field. For four years, I had a very unique perspective of Bradley. He spent his lunch hours with his grandchildren. He was a very caring and doting grandfather, but when we met every Tuesday in the Mayfield coach's office, I would see him transform from Grandpa Bradley to Coach Bradley. And, yes, he was a hard-nosed coach, but I haven't met a coach in nearly 30 years that cared more about his players.
On the field, my favorite game with Bradley was the 1998 state championship game with Roswell Goddard. The Trojans probably had a 10 percent chance of winning the game, but with a spectacular defensive effort Mayfield was able to get the game into overtime, tied at 7-7.
After an interception on Goddard's possession in overtime, Mayfield needed just two plays to win the game. The game-winning play, a 1-yard quarterback sneak, was very fitting because of Bradley's historical love affair with football. It was extremely similar to the quarterback sneak by the Green Bay Packers in the famous 1967 Ice Bowl against the Dallas Cowboys.
Chad Dare was a sports writer and editor in Las Cruces in the late 1990s. He is now the sports editor at the Commercial-News in Danville, Ill.

Beef Up Your Foundational Math for the GMAT
"Help! I need to take the GMAT but haven't studied math in 10 years. I don't even remember how to do some of the most basic things like multiply and divide fractions!"
Sound familiar?
Don't worry, you're not alone. I always tell my students that they were better prepared for the GMAT quantitative section the day they graduated high school than they are today. The reality is that the math tested on the GMAT isn't all that difficult, yet it's math that most students haven't seen in years. There's a definite need to dust off some of the "math cobwebs" as I call them, at which point the learning cure for the GMAT is actually pretty steep.
Our online GMAT prep courses certainly cover the relevant math tested on the GMAT, but it comes in stages and also focuses not only on the math itself, but also how to apply it to get right answers on test day. If you'd like to really go back to the basics and tackle some of the most foundational math you'll need on the GMAT, here are three (3) great resources that my students have benefitted from:
1. The Khan Academy – Free Math Videos
Backed by Bill Gates and other donors, the Khan Academy offers a library of over 4,300 free videos on nearly every topic under the sun, from arithmetic and geometry to physics, history, and finance. For your purposes studying for the GMAT, there are a whole suite of basic math videos that you can find here:
Basic Math Videos: http://www.khanacademy.org/math/arithmetic
As you'll notice, you can toggle around the different GMAT math categories or enter words like "probability" or "fractions" in the search area at the top. Some of the videos are a bit dry, but hey, at least they're free!
2. Brightstorm
Not quite as well-known as the Khan Academy, nevertheless Brightstorm provides over 200 free math videos on all sorts of different topics that are quite good.
You can check it out here: http://www.brightstorm.com/math/
Here's what one GMAT student had to say about this resource: "I've been out of school for quite a few years and really needed some basic math refresh work. This site is absolutely free and was a huge help for me in just getting back to basics and relearning basic algebra and geometry. Obviously, this site is not going to get you that 700, but if any of you are like me and just need to cover some very basic principles before tackling the bigger stuff it's got you covered. They have everything pretty organized so it's pretty easy to find the topics that are relevant to the GMAT. Each topic has a short video on the general topic then a couple more videos working problems. Again, this site is targeted at high school kids so keep that in mind when watching the videos."
3. Manhattan GMAT's "Foundations of Math" Book
I generally don't like to plug competitors' books, but in this case, Manhattan GMAT sort of has the market cornered with their Foundations of GMAT Math book. Here's how Amazon.com describes it:
"Designed to be user-friendly for all students, this book provides easy-to-follow explanations of fundamental math concepts and step-by-step application of these concepts to example problems. With ten chapters and over 700 practice problems, this book is an invaluable resource to any student who wants to cement their understanding and build their basic math skills for the GMAT."
So there you have it! Three great resources to help you bone up on your foundational GMAT math. Of course, once you get the basics down, you'll want to really learn the crucial content, tips, and test-taking strategies that will enable you to crack 700 on the GMAT. For that, you'll definitely need our comprehensive GMAT Quantitative Course online. When you're ready, I'll look forward to working with you and helping you to dominate the GMAT!

Accessories by Christopher Munar
After Karen Ibasco's Japan and Cambodian trip with her elemental queens, the 'most talked-about' pageant queen on Earth is now in Vietnam gracing the Tuyët Lê Fashion Boutique as the event's 'VIP' guest.
And there's one thing which the pageant aficionados have noticed, the Scientist-turned-beauty queen is glowing and blooming - only the perennial haters and bitter gourd losers would blindly deny such positive aura from the reigning Miss Earth titleholder. She remains unfazed despite the hoard of bashers trolling every photo published, spewing their bitterness and wallowing in their disgusts which were born out of grave insecurities, jealousy and desperation. And this is where my admiration of Karen is rooted upon. Aside from her unquestionable intelligence and eloquence, she has the nerves of steel that could weather the storms of life and emerge victorious in the end.
After her Vietnam trip, Karen will travel all the way to Mexico in South America to spearhead some environmental awareness campaigns as part of her duty as Miss Earth 2017.
It will definitely be a busy whole-year reign for Karen. She is blessed, no doubt, and she is rising amidst the bashing.

Know Thy Neighbor
By: Kara Posner
My fiance' doesn't want to fraternize with the other couple living on our floor. I've just moved into the apartment where he's lived for six years. They seem like cool folks, but, when I suggested asking them over for dinner he morphs into a little boy about to do the pee-pee dance, "Imagine what they overhear. And you want them to be our friends?" This is usually followed up by a furrowing of his brows and an exclamation spoken is some "South Park" inspired voice, "Stranger Danger!" He playfully swears that I missed the day in Kindergarten when we were supposed to be imbued with a healthy fear of unknown people. I've always made an effort to know my neighbors; it makes me feel at home to be connected with the faces I see all the time. It is a comfort to know there are friendly people nearby to run to in case of an emergency or when in need of milk. He is much more comfortable with acknowledgments in the hall and that's it.
How well do you know your neighbors?
- There are some mornings when I drift over for breakfast still in my pajamas and I'm happy to stand-in at the Lamaze class if they need me.
- We exchange banter, sugar, and light bulbs frequently and I don't mind walking their dog when they are in a pinch.
- I know their names, have an idea of what they do and where they are from but have never seen the inside of their home.
- I know their last names because it's on their mailbox, oh, and I know what they look like.

Allegations in a bill in equity, that a mortgage on real estate of the plaintiff was foreclosed merely "to clear the title"; that the defendant, before the foreclosure sale, stated to the plaintiff that he "would protect her interests by outbidding anyone who tried to get the place away from her," and at the sale stated to the plaintiff's representative that he was going to buy the property and would outbid anyone else; that the defendant knew the purpose of the sale; that after bids by both the plaintiff and the defendant at the sale the defendant became the purchaser as the highest bidder; and that the defendant outbid the plaintiff "for the purpose of defrauding her of" the property and "should be held to be holding it . . . in trust" for the plaintiff, did not show any fiduciary relation between the plaintiff and the defendant, or any fraud on the defendant's part, or that he held the property on a constructive trust for the plaintiff.
BILL IN EQUITY, filed in the Superior Court on June 8, 1950.
Demurrers to the bill were heard by Baker, J.
C. J. Powell, for the plaintiff, submitted a brief.
A. R. Linscott, for the defendants.
Page 639
WILKINS, J. The plaintiff appeals from an interlocutory decree sustaining demurrers to the bill of complaint and from a final decree dismissing the bill. The allegations of the bill are somewhat informal and diffuse, but in so far as material seem to be as follows: In 1949 the plaintiff had some interest as owner in certain real estate on Lake Street, Peabody, an interest previously held by one Betton, then deceased. In 1931 Betton had given a mortgage in the amount of $4,000 to Equitable Cooperative Bank of Lynn. In order "to clear the title," foreclosure proceedings were begun, and a sale at public auction was set for September 26, 1949. On the evening preceding the sale the male defendant (hereinafter called the defendant), who is the husband of the female defendant, told the plaintiff that "he would be present at the foreclosure sale and would protect her interests by outbidding anyone who tried to get the place away from her." On the day of the sale the defendant went to the premises and told the plaintiff's attorney that he was going to buy the place and would outbid anyone else. He said this although he was informed by the plaintiff's attorney that the sale was "merely to clear the title," and the defendant said that he already knew this. The defendant was the highest bidder with a bid of $10,000, and became the purchaser. The plaintiff occupies the real estate as the proprietor of a home for elderly people. On May 19, 1950, the defendants gave the plaintiff notice to vacate. The defendant outbid the plaintiff "for the purpose of defrauding her of the premises"; and the defendants "should be estopped from evicting" the plaintiff, and "should be ordered to return the property" to the plaintiff, "as they actually should be held to be holding it at present in trust" for the plaintiff. There are prayers for a reconveyance of the real estate and for damages.
One ground of each demurrer is that the plaintiff has not stated any grounds for equitable relief against the defendant. If this was good, the bill was rightly dismissed. Hiller v. American Telephone & Telegraph Co. 324 Mass. 24, 25.
The validity of the sale is not impugned by the plaintiff.
Page 640
The foreclosure of the mortgage was the exclusive right of the bank as mortgagee. G. L. (Ter. Ed.) c. 244, Section 14. The rights of the plaintiff are not aided by the allegation that the sale was for the purpose of clearing the plaintiff's title. Johnson v. East Boston Savings Bank, 290 Mass. 441, 446-447. Stockus v. Boston Housing Authority, 304 Mass. 507, 510-511. Sher v. Perlman, 324 Mass. 390, 392.
Allegations essential to maintaining the bill on the ground of fraud are lacking. No confidential relationship existed between the plaintiff and the defendant. Cranwell v. Oglesby, 299 Mass. 148, 152. The defendant was not the plaintiff's broker. DiBurro v. Bonasia, 321 Mass. 12. Berenson v. Nirenstein, 326 Mass. 285. No information, confidential or otherwise, was obtained by the defendant from the plaintiff. No influence was acquired or confidence abused. Warsofsky v. Sherman, ante, 290. There was no enrichment of the defendant. Indeed, the plaintiff argues that the property was purchased for much more than it was worth. It is not alleged that the defendant's statement on the evening preceding the sale was false or that there was any reliance thereon by the plaintiff. Hazleton v. Lewis, 267 Mass. 533, 538. See Gabriel v. Borowy, 324 Mass. 231, 237-238. Furthermore, no damage was thereby caused the plaintiff, because the allegations show that the defendant made his position clear the next day before the beginning of the sale, at which the plaintiff was represented by an attorney and participated as long as she wished in the bidding. There is no basis for the imposition of a constructive trust. Salter v. Beal, 321 Mass. 105, 108-109. Yamins v. Zeitz, 322 Mass. 268. See Shelburne Shirt Co. Inc. v. Singer, 322 Mass. 262, 268. See Shelburne Shirt Co. Inc. v. Singer, 322 Mass. 262, 268. In Cann v. Barry, 293 Mass. 313, a relationship of trust and confidence existed between the parties and the plaintiff was fraudulently induced not to take steps to acquire property for himself.
Interlocutory decree affirmed.
Final decree affirmed with costs.

If I had to choose one word to describe our vacations here, it would be comfortable. The slow days stretch into slower, restful nights; the bikers, young and old, wind their way down sun-dappled streets and across windy beaches; the smells of chlorine and sunblock and fresh - or not so fresh - towels; the spanish moss hangs thick and low from gnarled, dancing trees. All these snippets of the week send "vacation" signals to my brain, and the stresses of the workaday world seem to instantly dissolve.
I've learned two chords on the guitar, which means I can now blunder my way through "Horse with No Name" on our patio with my dad and brother. We recklessly abandon any concern for our neighbor's quiet evening as we plow through yet another attempt at perfect harmony on "Seven Bridges Road," and each time I inhale to sing the next lines, I breath in salty ocean air.
Kyle and my brothers are the terrors of our tiny condo pool, fearlessly slinging footballs around with perhaps a little too much confidence in their aim - but no shortage of enthusiasm.
In other news, I have finally been initiated into that realm of bravery occupied by survivors of jellyfish stings.
Weren't you hoping for a picture of a foot, with some attractive red bumps scattered across the lower ankle region? You're welcome.
I'm so happy we still have an entire week ahead, ripe for the experiencing.

Photo gallery update
Posted by Chris @ 10:31 pm
Anyway tonight is the first time I've sat down, downloaded the files and tried something out. The result - photos now fade in when viewing them in my photo gallery. Coupled with detecting when they've loaded, it makes it look a bit better. Not really a feature I had to add, but a good one to start with as a practical example. Truth be told it might even get removed again once I've moved onto another project that uses the YUI library.
Anyway, now I've dabbled I have some new found knowledge, so any questions fire away.

My mom was really into cropped coats when we were vacationing in Hong Kong during our last break so she bought me one from Zara. I really love it! It comes with a detachable hoodie (but the buttons to put the hoodie on are coming off because it was on the sale rack) as well. It's actually really warm apart from the fact that it's in half and that the sleeves stop in that awkward place between my elbow and my wrist.
|(Zara cropped military coat, Zara dress, unbranded ribboned heels)

I love these heels! They're grey suede, and I got them for really cheap in some random market in Indonesia. I got it for about US$13? Which is a bargain right?

|"I sat on the floor with six wife beaters and Michael Lindsey. The room was very dark and had an air of intimacy. My camera was an intrusion. There was an awkward silence, then the stories began to flow one by one."
|Mont and Jan. "I moved in with several couples to begin to document their once-violent relationships on the mend."

Doing end-of-life preparation can be daunting. There seem to be so many forms, too many different options, and endless decisions to be making. No wonder why so many folks put it off and never get around to it!
Just like a handwritten will can be legal (with some caveats), funeral and deathcare planning doesn't need to be big and hairy and scary. Even giving your loved ones just a short nudge in the direction they should go when it comes to the funeral process is a gift. Letting them know simply that you'd prefer to be cremated, but leaving the ideas about what to do with your ashes up to them, or sharing that you'd value saving money on the arrangements over traditional choices–these can be enough to go on for your family to make the right choices for them and you.
When you work with me, we'll go deeper than that, and I hope it'll be fun (and not painful) in the process, but do take this to heart: Anything helps. Anything you can do helps.
See how simply and elegantly Betty from Mad Men, dying of breast cancer, handled passing on her own wishes, and sidestepped a conversation she knew her husband couldn't handle too:
Betty: These are instructions. Open it the minute you know I'm gone.
Sally: No!
Betty: Listen to me, things happen very quickly when people die. Henry's not going to be able to handle things.
Dear Sally,
I know that you're frightened and there are many decisions I can't prepare you for, but you must immediately tell the hospital and the funeral director that I am to be interred, in tact, in the family plot in West Laurel.
Uncle William has the details from Grandpa Gene's burial. I've also enclosed a portrait from the 1968 Republican Winter Gala. The blue chiffon I wore is my very favorite. I hung it in a gold garment bag in the hall closet beside the mink. Please bring them the lipstick from my handbag and remind them how I like to wear my hair. Will you show them the picture?
Sally, I always worried about you because you marched to beat of your own drum, but now I know that's good. I know your life will be an adventure.
I Love You,
Of course, Betty has the benefit of knowing she's dying, and can line all this up and share it (I'm not sure she, or anyone dying, would call that a benefit, truly–but for planning sake, it certainly can compel you to action!). You too are dying, as am I, though, even if we won't admit it to ourselves. Isn't it time to think about documenting your wishes and getting your plans (simple or otherwise) in order?
HT: I first became aware of this touching exchange on Everplans' blog. If you're inclined to DIY your end of life plans, Everplans is a great place to document your wishes! Check them out…

For any questions, please contact email@example.com.
In response to the rising number of opioid-related overdoses and deaths in Alberta, the Scheduled Drugs Regulation under the Pharmacy and Drug Act was amended. Naloxone for use in emergency treatment of opioid overdose outside of a hospital setting was removed from the Schedule 2 drug list to enable the distribution of naloxone in the community.
RNs can reduce morbidity and mortality related to opioid overdose by providing access to naloxone, education, resources, and tools to those at risk.

Only one year has passed, since Rupert Murdoch bought his first Premiere-shares – many things have already changed: In the beginning there was the big scandal with the false customer numbers of the old management- they had claimed to have more customers than they actually did. The result of the disclosures was disastrous- in one singular day Premiere lost more than 50 % of its market value.
The newly appointed Mark Williams, ex-CEO of SKY Italia, was brought from Murdoch in order to find a cure for the lousy pay-tv business in the country and to clean the image of the only German pay-tv provider. For the first task he worked out a capital increase of 411 million euro and initiated a large scale investment programme. For the second one he decided to kiss Premiere's past goodbye and start clean- the change of names speaks for itself.
We offer you the first SKY spot- if you find a big difference to Premiere's contents please inform us – we will be glad to know.

The fighting spirit
Geraint Thomas is a name to reckon with in the international cycling circuits and his victories are legendary. He has survived many injuries and has yet come out the winner in the lot. When he was riding for the Tour de France, he fractured his pelvis and still finished the tour because of his fighting spirits.
This tour would become the most memorable one for a long time to come for him. Though he had a fracture in his pelvis right in the first stage of the race, he still managed to fight till the finish and stay with the team.
He says that the riding was a tough one because of the fracture, but the pain was worth the win and this made his day. The pain of the fractured pelvis carries him through the tour and his decision to stay in the race shows his fighting spirits.
With great fan following, he made it through in the race and did not let his team down. He remained stuck with his team and this ensured that he give his hundred percent to the team in its winning streak. He has to be a great bet for the future.
Winning the tour has been his dream and his broken pelvis never did come in the way of the win. His spirit to bounce back from the pain made him the winner without any question. He says that the pain of the fracture was washed out with the thrill of the victory.
From one challenge to the next, Geraint Thomas has been taking them up and winning them. As this is a team work, it does ensure that the contribution of each player is important; but Geraint Thomas has a special role in the team. His injuries, however minor or major are of no importance when team work is concerned. This attitude takes him a long way in the winning process.

Fairfield Alabama Job Injury Lawyer
If you live or work in Fairfield Alabama (or anywhere in Jefferson County*) and you have suffered a job injury+ you might be entitled to compensation and medical coverage under Alabama's Workers' Compensation Law.
To be entitled to benefits under the Alabama Workers' Compensation Statute, you (i) have to be employed (either by contract or implied contract) by an employer who regularly employees 5 or more people; (ii) your job injury has to have been sustained while you were performing your job duties and (iii) that timely notice was given to your employer about your job injury (you have up to 90 days in which to report any job injury, but it is always best to report any job injury immediately). If you meet all these elements, then you are entitled to workers' compensation benefits under Alabama's Workers' Compensation Statute.
Having a valid Alabama Workers Comp claim means that you, as the injured worker, are entitled to (a) having your employer pay for all your reasonably necessary medical treatment, (b) reimburse the worker for mileage in driving back and forth for medical treatment or to receive medications; (c) pay the worker 2/3rds of their average weekly wage when off work pursuant to the advice of a physician treating them for their job injuries (until the date they reach maximum medical improvement) and (d) pay compensation to the injured worker for any permanent physical impairment sustained as a result of an on-the-job injury.
If your job injury aggravates a pre-existing, underlying condition, then workers' compensation is responsible for said aggravation, so if the adjuster informed you that workers' comp was not responsibly for your injury because you had a pre existing condition-don't believe them as they may be lying to you (not a mistake, a lie made in an attempt to avoid paying you the benefits the law states you are entitled to).
If you, or someone you care about, has suffered a job injury and you have questions about your rights, the Alabama Workers' Compensation attorneys at Powell and Denny would be happy to speak with you-contact Powell and Denny

The Oxfordshire Strategic Environmental Economic Investment Plan (SEEIP) will provide direction and clarity on how investment in Oxfordshire's environment will be delivered. It is one of a series of investment plans which will sit under the Strategic Economic Plan, and will help to deliver its ambitions for economic growth in Oxfordshire up to 2030.
The SEEIP will make a compelling case for environmental investment in Oxfordshire, by demonstrating its importance to economic growth, development, health and well-being in the county. It will also be used as a prospectus to attract and coordinate funding from government, environmental stakeholders and businesses, ensuring investment is prioritised and targeted to maximise the benefits.
The aim is to assemble a portfolio of proposals for inclusion in the SEEIP, which could include:
- Strategic projects, which will deliver improvements to physical assets within a defined geographical area, and which are of a significant scale for the county
- Investment programmes, which might be established to distribute funding to multiple stakeholders and smaller projects across a wider area according to agreed criteria
- Support interventions – awareness-raising, training or guidance
These proposals could include new ideas, or existing/ongoing projects, programmes or interventions which have the potential to contribute to the objectives and priorities of the SEEIP.
To submit an idea to be considered for inclusion and for further information, visit The LEP website.

Backpackers hangout
My next stop was a city about 4 hours by bus south of Luang Prabang in a city called Vang Vieng. This has become a huge backpacker hangout with restaurants with comfy seats showing continual reruns of all the "Friends" episodes. Nice and relaxing for a day or two but gets old quick. The scenery here is spectacular... surrounded by mountains and a river running through the edge. There are bungalows all around and it seemed more westerners than Laos'. I also met up with my friends Paul and Correne again and we hung out for a few more days. It seems when you are on the trail you continue to run into the same people over and over again.
One of the main draws and quite a nice way to relax is tubing down the Nam Song River. You start out with an inner tube and a short ride on a tuk tuk to the starting point and then spend the day letting the river slowly take you back down stream to the starting point. There are many places to stop and have a Beer Lao or try some of their homemade whiskey called Lao Lao. They tell you the trip will take between 2-3 hours, although I know people that stopped many times along the way for a beer sample and it took 5+ hours to complete the trip. Definitely a great way to unwind and chill out for an afternoon.

text: Crafted from elder and oak, this skein (hank) holder has made life a little easier here at Sorazora. There is nothing unusual about the design, but after just a short while in the workshop it certainly helps with converting ball to hank for dyeing and then back to ball again. It was my first attempt to put my GCSE woodwork skills to the test within the field of spinning, weaving and dyeing. I fear a handloom will be requested of me next!!

REDMOND , Wash., Oct. 13, 2006 â As both an entertainment and a business, Nintendo DS⢠today is the powerhouse of the U.S. video game industry, driving nearly all industry revenue growth so far this year. Without this portable system, the video game industry growth overall would be nearly flat when compared with 2005, according to independent sales figures from the NPD Group of Port Washington, N.Y.
Through September's end, the U.S. industry overall shows revenue growth of 11 percent when compared with the same period in 2005. Nearly all of the growth comes from the portable DS â without it, the industry would report a mere 1.6 percent growth over the past nine months. DS hardware and software units posted a robust gain of 203 percent when compared to the same period in 2005. The news is the same globally: Nintendo recently announced estimated full-year shipments for DS hardware will grow to 20 million units from 17 million units worldwide, while estimated DS software shipments increased to 82 million units from 75 million.
"Numbers dramatically show the value of reaching out to the masses with products that are compelling and comfortable," says Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. "And this perfectly sets the stage for our breakthrough Wii console, which appeals to both core players and current non-players with an intuitive control system and a price everyone can afford."
The NPD numbers also indicate that during September, Nintendo DS lifetime U.S. sales surpassed more than 6.2 million units. That total includes more than 1.4 million units of the new Nintendo DS Lite systems, which launched just 16 weeks ago on June 11. It's important to note these numbers represent Nintendo DS systems actually purchased by customers, not ones shipped only to stores.
"During a home console generation upgrade, consumer interest in existing consoles tends to drop as anticipation for new consoles increases. Hand-held game hardware and software revenues have kept the industry afloat," says Billy Pidgeon, Program Manager, Consumer Markets: Gaming at IDC. "Hand-held gaming has spurred real industry growth, and Nintendo's longstanding leadership in this space continues to drive this market."
This summer, Nintendo launched its Touch Generations brand to help newcomers to video games identify which nontraditional and pick-up-and-play titles are appropriate for them. The response from consumers has been enthusiastic, as four of the top 10 best-selling Nintendo DS games are Touch Generations titles. Touch Generations games include Brain Ageâ¢: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day and the three versions of Nintendogs â¢. And at the same time, avid players also are fueling growth: the New Super Mario Bros. ® title, exclusively for Nintendo DS, is the third best-seller among all video games this year, including console games.
Nintendo's internal statistics show the Touch Generations brand continues to reach more women and older gamers. Nintendo statistics show a significant percentage of all Touch Generations software buyers are female and are age 25 or older, demonstrating the broad appeal of Nintendo titles like Brain Age and Big Brain Academyâ¢, which provide engaging and entertaining content for baby boomers and seniors alike.
