Jusuru: A Competition-Driven Company Where Only the Best Succeed People has so many desires in life, and one of the most common is the need to prevent aging and stress from actually affecting their lifestyle and appearance. Most of us really invest time, attention and money in order to achieve this objective. In connection with this, so many of the fast-growing, effective businesses and researches tend to focus on this subject. One of the many MLM companies based on a presumably breakthrough discovery in that domain is Jusuru. In this review, we will not discuss the actual efficacy of the product they sell, but we will analyze it strictly from a business opportunity point of view. The company, as well as the developer of the main ingredient of the product ( BioCell Collagen II) , are headquartered in Anaheim, California. The President of Jusuru, Asma Ishaq, is also Vice president of Marketing for the product developing company, Biocell Technology LLC. She is quoted on the site to say that the company has no actual high representatives because they are represented by the whole team. Without highly-ranked names and personal brands, the first thing that comes to mind is that they should have a very appealing product and/or motivating compensation plan in order to get their customers. So, let’s see. The product itself is a beverage (Jusuru) that works as a nutritional supplement. One of the most important components is seemingly the BioCell Collagen II , its role being to maintain joint and skin health. The second should be Resveratrol , the compound that is to be found in red grapes. Many people associate red wine with one of the healthiest beverages available, thus the importance attached to the latter ingredient. The compensation plan is based upon a Unilevel Plan to which the company has added some particularities that encourage (and of course reward) your level of Activity.
The new Bollywood film, Love , Sex Aur Dhokha (LSD) is director Dibakar Banerjee’s third provocative film. It is the first ever Bollywood film to have the word SEX in its title, which makes the title very explosive. The film is a take on changing times in urban India! LSD tries to make a statement about the open-ness in today’s urban society and the lack of privacy in today’s age, due to cell phones, spy cams, sting operations and MMS. This is Ekta Kapoor’s first foray into experimental cinema. It’s courageous, bold, disturbing, realistic and yet entertaining – either you will love it or hate it: you just cannot have a neutral take on this movie!
“The Six Wives of Henry Lefay” is a comedy film released in 2009 and is rated PG-13.
Henry Lefay (Tim Allen) is a rich and successful businessman from Ithica, NY. He owns a chain of audio/visual discount stores and does very well at it. In the opening of the film Henry is in Cancun, Mexico getting ready to go out to sea for a para-sailing excursion. He is accompanied by another tourist named Lipshitz. As we watch, Lefay puts the jacket on and gets strapped to the parachute. The camera moves back to the beach, and we see a man fall from the sail into the sea.
Barbara “Barbie” Lefay receives a phone call telling her that her father has died and she should come to New York from California for the funeral. She thinks that it is a prank from he father but finds that it is the truth. She and her boyfriend Lloyd travel to Ithica to attend what is sure to be a circus of a funeral. As it states in the title, Henry Lefay has been married six times, though two of them were to the same woman. As they get ready to leave Barbie recalls the last time that they spoke and we are taken back one year to see the events of that time.
An edited transcription from a public email discussion of “Into Great Silence” indicates that this film is a winner: director Philip Groening’s study of the Grande Chartreuse monastery.This is the opening email, written by Father R. and talks about the main character of the movie. Keep in mind that the film is silent, with subtitles, and that it took more than ten years for the filmmaker to receive permission to film the inner life of the monastery. Father R. writes in his message:
“Fr. Laurence Freeman…made a fascinating point, that the major character of the whole is the mysterious God, there everywhere: in the monks, in the hallways and the church, out in the fields. And the implication is that God should be the main character in our lives, in our hallways and church and fields.”
The life of a monk is one dedicated to God. “Into Great Silence” documents the events in the life of monks who live in a Carthusian monastery. The DVD I own has two disks, with the second disk containing a statement by a Italian Cardinal, (that is an added attraction and certainly worth the price of admission). There are other interesting commentaries on the second disk. Regarding the film, which is on the first disk, I found this a powerful film.
In response to Father R., I wrote in my public email:
