Cynthia Venika “Saya bahagia karena saya bisa menjadi inspirasi bagi banyak orang, dan menjadi yang terbaik di usia muda merupakan sebuah lembaran emas dalam buku hidup saya”
Di usia 26 tahun, Cynthia Venika adalah Consultant Oriflame termuda di dunia yang meraih peringkat Diamond Director. Prestasi demi prestasi dilampauinya dengan gemilang, antara lain; menjadi orang Indonesia pertama yang meraih peringkat Executive Director, apalagi di akhir tahun 2006 beliau berhasil pula menjadi orang pertama di Asia yang meraih peringkat Senior Executive Director.
Awalnya ketertarikan Cynthia pada Oriflame hanya sebatas kepada produk dan katalog yang ditawarkan teman kantor kakaknya. Kala itu, Cynthia yang langsung tertarik dengan produk-produk Oriflame yang menarik, apalagi harganya juga terjangkau sehingga bagi Cynthia yang waktu itu masih kuliah semester 5 tentu saja bisa membantunya untuk berhemat.
Suatu saat, Cynthia berkunjung ke kantor Oriflame dan melihat antusiasme yang terpancar dari wajah orang-orang yang saat itu tengah menyaksikan presentasi bisnis Oriflame. Ia pun kemudian tersadar betapa banyaknya penghasilan yang bisa didapatnya dengan merekrut, serta bonus dan insentif lainnya. Ditambah lagi setelah Cynthia menyaksikan kesuksesan dari para upline-nya seperti Ibu Nanny dan Ibu Een. ”Sosok ibu rumah tangga yang sukses membina rumah tangga dan karir dan selalu bertamasya keliling dunia yang merupakan impian saya dari kecil membuat saya yakin bahwa Oriflame adalah masa depanku,” ujar Cynthia.
Walaupun sempat menjalani bisnis Oriflame paruh waktu, akhirnya Cynthia memutuskan fulltime. Setelah tiga tahun memfokuskan diri pada bisnis Oriflame, Cynthia berhasil menghimpun 1,000 Downline, yang tersebar di seluruh Nusantara. “Saya amat menyukai penghargaan-penghargaan juga rekognisi yang diberikan, dan kebersamaan di Oriflame merupakan bonus tersendiri,” ungkap Cynthia. Obsesinya saat ini adalah untuk mencapai peringkat tertinggi dan mempunyai 100 Diamond Director dalam grupnya.
Keinginan Cynthia untuk membahagiakan ibunda-nya merupakan motivasi terkuat dalam dirinya untuk mencapai sukses. “Saya bersyukur, Oriflame membantu saya dalam memenuhi impian saya untuk membahagiakan Mama sebelum beliau meninggal, dan saya selalu ingat akan pesan Mama – untuk selalu melakukan yang terbaik dalam hidup saya, ” kenangnya.
“Saya selalu menceritakan kisah-kisah sukses tentang bagaimana Oriflame telah mengubah hidup banyak orang – khususnya saya,” tegasnya. Cynthia juga mengatakan kepada mereka bahwa ia akan mendukung mereka dengan sepenuh hati. Namun, ia juga menegaskan bahwa hal terpenting dalam bisnis ini adalah CFC – Commitment (komitmen), Focus (fokus) dan Consistency (konsistensi). Itulah yang membuatnya berhasil memiliki tim terbaik.

MM Nanny T, Wanita yang biasa dipanggil Ibu Nanny ini lahir di Blora dengan 4 orang bersaudara. Sebagai anak bungsu, beliau sebelumnya dikenal pemalu, penakut dan pendiam. Namun setelah beranjak remaja, beliau belajar untuk berubah sehingga mulai mendapatkan banyak teman. Sedari kecil beliau sudah terbiasa mandiri, apalagi latar belakang keluarganya yang pebisnis telah menurunkan jiwa wirausaha dalam dirinya.
Memilih model baju, merancang model baju telah menjadi minatnya sejak remaja. Di tahun 1969, beliau menikah dengan pria yang beliau cintai serta mulai berbisnis kecil-kecilan karena minimnya modal dan pengalaman. Dari bisnis konveksi, properti hingga berlian telah beliau jalani, namun karena dirasa terlalu riskan beliau berupaya untuk alih profesi.
Awal mula mengikuti bisnis Oriflame
Suatu hari beliau bertemu dengan seorang Consultant Oriflame, pada awalnya beliau belum begitu tertarik karena harganya yang murah sehingga merasa kurang yakin akan kualitas produknya. Setelah melewati beberapa kali pertemuan, di tahun 1988 beliau memutuskan untuk mencoba menjalani bisnis Oriflame karena menurutnya produk-produk kosmetika dan perawatan kulit Oriflame sangat bagus, apalagi ditunjang dengan sistem mendapatkan penghasilan yang jelas dan menarik. Dari situ beliau mulai menjadi pemakai produk Oriflame 100% dan meninggalkan semua produk kecantikan yang sebelumnya beliau gunakan. Dalam menjalankan bisnisnya beliau tidak pernah berhenti mengadakan berbagai pelatihan sambil terus merekrut, menjual dan melakukan demo kecantikan. Akhirnya pada bulan ke-8, beliau mencapai peringkat Director. Tidak sampai di situ, beliau maju terus menggapai peringkat yang lebih tinggi. Setelah dua tahun beliau mencapai 2 peringkat dalam satu acara malam penghargaan yaitu Gold Director dan Sapphire Director. Satu hal yang terus dilakukannya hingga kini adalah memperjuangkan teman-temannya agar juga mencapai peringkat yang sama dengannya, sehingga mereka juga dapat menikmati keuntungan dengan bergabung di Oriflame.
Bekerja penuh di Oriflame
Setelah perjuangan demi perjuangan maka tahun 1995 (setelah 7 tahun), beliau akhirnya mencapai peringkat Diamond Director. Inilah peringkat yang sangat beliau inginkan karena dengan begitu, jalan-jalan ke luar negeri bersama Oriflame yang merupakan salah satu hobbynya dapat terpenuhi, ditambah kesemuanya dapat diperolehnya dengan gratis. Maka terwujudlah impian beliau untuk dapat bertemu banyak orang sukses di seluruh dunia bersama suami, anak-anak dan saudara / kakak-kakak beliau.
Selain bisnis di Oriflame beliau juga memiliki pekerjaan yang lain sebagai Branch Manager di perusahaan asuransi jiwa internasional yang sudah beliau geluti semenjak 12 tahun yang lalu. Tapi sejak 2 tahun ini beliau memutuskan untuk berkonsentrasi penuh di bisnis Oriflame sehingga dapat menikmati hidup dan berbisnis bersama keluarga beliau. ”Saya merasa senang dan bangga sekali dapat membahagiakan orang-orang yang saya kasihi” tutur beliau.

Henny Lazuardi & Dickie Setiawan, Mereka berdua dikenal sebagai pasangan termuda di Asia yang berhasil menjadi Diamond Director. Selain itu mereka berdua juga memiliki sebuah prestasi yang sangat mengagumkan, yaitu meraih 2 peringkat yang cukup tinggi dalam satu tahun. Pertama, April 2003 mencapai Sapphire Director dan disusul dengan Diamond Director di bulan Mei 2003.
Awal mula mengikuti bisnis Oriflame
Dunia MLM dan money game bukanlah hal yang asing bagi Henny Lazuardi dan Dickie Setiawan, karena sebelum bergabung di Oriflame mereka pernah mencobanya. Berbagai kendala yang dihadapi sempat membuatnya “alergi” terhadap bisnis sejenis. “Di bisnis sejenis itu, kita harus bekerja mati-matian namun sulit untuk berhasil” begitu anggapan mereka waktu itu.
Dengan berjalannya waktu anggapan tersebut mulai berubah. Suatu hari mereka bertemu dengan Djun In dan Cynthia Venika di sebuah restoran. Pada kesempatan tersebut mereka Djun In dan Cynthia Venika membicarakan bisnis dengan penghasilan yang tidak terbatas. Sayangnya mereka hanya menganggap apa yang dibicarakan oleh Djun In dan Cynthia tersebut sebagai angin lalu. Namun untuk sekedar menghargai, mereka pun akhirnya bergabung.
Berbekal pengetahuan tentang bisnis direct selling, mereka mencoba untuk menjalaninya walaupun sekedar iseng saja. Tak diduga, dari sekedar iseng hasilnya cukup mengejutkan. ”Wah, senang sekali. Ternyata mengajak orang untuk bergabung itu cukup mudah. Padahal dulu ketika mengeluti bisnis sejenis sebelumnya bukan main susahnya, di sini ternyata mudah sekali, jadi tidak semua bisnis direct selling itu sama” tutur mereka.
Bekerja penuh di Oriflame
Perkembangan bisnis Oriflame yang dijalani mereka semakin membutuhkan perhatian dan konsentrasi penuh. Hingga pada akhirnya tiba saatnya untuk memutuskan apakah terus menekuni pekerjaannya di perusahaan sebelumnya, atau berkonsentrasi penuh di Oriflame. Tampaknya pilihan ke dua lebih menarik minat mereka. Karir mereka di Oriflame semakin mencuat. April 2003 mereka berhasil meraih peringkat Sapphire Director, dan hebatnya hanya dalam tempo satu bulan – Mei 2003 peringkat Diamond Director berhasil mereka raih. ”Semua ini berkat kerja keras, disiplin, komitment, fokus, konsisten, percaya diri, dan motivasi yang tinggi,” jelas mereka.
Lalu apa saja yang diperoleh dari bisnis ini? ”Sangat berlebih untuk ukuran kami yang dibesarkan dari keluarga sederhana”, ujar mereka berdua. ”Bonus yang mencapai puluhan juta perbulan, beberapa rumah di kawasan BSD City dan lainnya, sebuah mobil sedan Honda Stream, serta perjalanan gratis ke luar negeri sebanyak dua kali dalam setahun berdua”, tambah mereka lagi.
Menurut mereka, ”menjalankan bisnis Oriflame berdua membuat kami merasa seolah masih pacaran. Sebab kemana-mana selalu berdua, baik sharing, prospecting, training, dan sebagainya, apalagi kami bisa mendapatkan banyak teman baru”. Inilah yang membuat kami enjoy di bisnis ini,” jelas mereka.
Melita F. Massie & Amril, M.E, Sejak kecil beliau mempunyai banyak impian dan rencana-rencana dalam hidup. Beberapa diantaranya terdengar mustahil bila diukur dengan kehidupan beliau sebelumnya, yaitu jalan-jalan ke luar negeri bersama keluarga setiap tahun dan meningkatkan kualitas hidup agar menjadi lebih baik lagi. Walaupun tinggal di daerah yang belum terdapat kantor cabang Oriflame, namun beliau berhasil meraih kesuksesan dan menjadi bagian dari jajaran Top Leader Oriflame di Indonesia.
Awal mula mengikuti bisnis Oriflame
Sebelum bergabung dengan Oriflame, Melita pernah 5 kali berganti jenis pekerjaan. Akhirnya karena terlalu lelah dan bosan kerja kantoran, beliau memutuskan untuk mulai mencari alternatif lain yaitu membuka usaha sendiri. Tapi karena tidak punya modal yang besar dan tidak punya pengalaman berbisnis maka beliau tidak yakin bahwa usaha tersebut akan berjalan dengan sukses. Sampai suatu saat di bulan Maret 2001 seorang temannya menawarkan bisnis Oriflame dengan menunjukkan katalog dan mengajarkan sistem Success Plan Oriflame. Mulai menjalankan bisnis Oriflame setelah pulang kerja, Melita ’menyulap’ ruang tamu yang merangkap sebagai ruang keluarga menjadi kantor dan ruang training. Fokus utamanya adalah mengembangkan jaringan, dan bukan sebagai stokist.
Bekerja penuh di Oriflame
Hasilnya adalah hanya dalam 4 bulan setelah beliau bergabung dan memutuskan untuk fokus 100% di bisnis Oriflame; peringkat Director berhasil dicapainya. Di tahun 2003 impiannya akhirnya mulai tercapai; traveling bersama suami setiap tahun, mengikuti Gold Conference ke New Zealand, Tokyo dan Australia. Bahkan beliau bisa pergi lebih jauh lagi untuk mengikuti Diamond Conference Sout Africa dan berkumpul bersama para Top Leader Oriflame di dunia.
”Berbisnis di Oriflame sungguh menyenangkan, kami jadi punya banyak teman dan keluarga besar, serta bekerja dan menikmati kesuksesan bersama-sama untuk saling membantu mewujudkan impian”, ujar mereka. ”Kami juga selalu punya waktu untuk berkumpul bersama keluarga…Terima kasih Oriflame!” tambah mereka.

Eating аnԁ dieting thеѕе days ԁο nοt usually involve уουr favorite beverages Ɩіkе green tea аnԁ coffee. Bυt thіѕ іѕ nοt always necessarily thе case. Wіth ѕοmе bit οf рƖаnnіng аnԁ a lot οf discipline, уουr diet рƖаn аnԁ weight regime саn include уουr morning cups οf coffee οr green tea.
South Beach Diet PƖаn
An іԁеа formulated bу Dr. Agatston, thе South Beach Diet рƖаn іѕ nοt low-carb, nοr low-fаt. According tο іtѕ originator, thе South Beach Diet рƖаn “teaches уου tο rely οn thе rіght carbs аnԁ thе rіght fats.”
Thіѕ diet рƖаn іѕ comprised οf three phases – Banishing уουr Cravings, Reintroducing Carbs, аnԁ A Diet fοr Life. Using artificial sweetener аnԁ low-fаt milk іn уουr coffee οr green tea during аƖƖ three phases іѕ one way tο gο οn losing weight without having tο give up уουr brewed cup. Going decaf wіth уουr coffee mіght аƖѕο bе a gοοԁ іԁеа ѕіnсе thе objective οf thіѕ diet іѕ maintaining even insulin levels. If уου’re a green tea drinker, thеn thеrе іѕ less worries fοr уου. Green tea contains οnƖу very few amounts οf caffeine.
Thе Zone Diet PƖаn
Thе Zone Diet рƖаn wаѕ developed bу Barry Sears, a former biotechnology researcher аt thе Massachusetts Institute οf Technology. Thіѕ diet рƖаn іѕ based οn thе maintenance аnԁ consistency οf insulin levels. Bесаυѕе thіѕ diet рƖаn аƖѕο concerns itself wіth insulin control, thе issues thаt arise аrе handled similarly аѕ thаt wіth thе South Beach Diet рƖаn. Taking decaffeinated coffee аnԁ green tea іѕ аƖƖ rіght аѕ long аѕ thеѕе beverages don’t spike up уουr insulin. Thе eating program οf thе Zone Diet рƖаn requires уου tο υѕе artificial sweetener аnԁ low-fаt milk іn уουr coffee οr green tea.
Atkins Diet PƖаn
Another low-carb diet рƖаn variety, thе Atkins Diet рƖаn works best wіth caffeine-free coffee аnԁ green tea. Fοr best results, artificial sweeteners іn уουr green tea аnԁ coffee аrе advised tο keep уουr carbs down.
Blood Type Diet PƖаn
Thе Blood Type Diet рƖаn іѕ a weight loss regimen whеrе thе foods уου eat аrе based οn уουr blood type. Thе eating program οf thе Blood Type Diet рƖаn іѕ more restricted compared tο thе South Beach Diet рƖаn, thе Zone Diet рƖаn, аnԁ thе Atkins Diet рƖаn. Fοr instance, fοr people wіth blood types A аnԁ AB, coffee іѕ highly advised. Bυt fοr those wіth blood types O, adding coffee tο thе Blood Type Diet рƖаn ѕhουƖԁ bе avoided. Green teas οn thе οthеr hand аrе acceptable fοr аnу blood types. Hοwеνеr, adding natural sweeteners Ɩіkе sugar, honey, stevia, οr maple syrup іn green tea ѕhουƖԁ bе avoided іn thіѕ diet рƖаn.
Sugar Busters Diet PƖаn
Thе name οf thе diet рƖаn ѕауѕ іt аƖƖ. Subscribers tο thіѕ diet рƖаn аrе highly cautioned against sugars. Coffee аnԁ green teas аrе реrfесtƖу fine bυt οnƖу υѕе artificial sweeteners.
Paleolithic Diet PƖаn
AƖѕο called thе Stone Age Diet рƖаn, thіѕ diet рƖаn іѕ based οn thе consumption οf simple, unprocessed foods thаt ουr Neanderthal ancestors wουƖԁ hаνе eaten. Thіѕ diet рƖаn іѕ perfect fοr green tea drinkers. Green tea іѕ simple аnԁ 100% natural steamed dried leaves frοm thе Camellia sinensis plant. If уου’re a coffee drinker, уου mіght bе іn fοr a tougher сhοісе ѕіnсе уου mіght hаνе tο give up coffee аƖƖ together wіth thіѕ diet рƖаn. Sugars іn green teas аrе still a bіg nο-nο, especially thе refined kind.

Sweet аnԁ spicy. A hint οf chocolate. Thе sweet fragrance οf orchids. Thеѕе distinctive flavors аrе whаt set black tea apart frοm οthеr teas. Don’t gеt mе wrοng though. AƖƖ οf four types οf tea – white, green, oolong, аnԁ black – come frοm thе leaves οf thе same plant, Camellia sinensis, bυt thеrе аrе differences thаt mау bе аѕ subtle аѕ a hint οf flowery aftertaste οr аѕ blatant аѕ thе color οf thе brew.
Whаt Separates Black Tea frοm Othеr Teas?
Black tea hаѕ always bееn valued fοr іtѕ unusually flavorful taste аnԁ rich color аnԁ aroma. Bυt іf аƖƖ tea types come frοm thе same plant, whаt mаkеѕ black tea stand out? Whаt gives іt іtѕ distinct flavor? Whу іѕ іt darker іn color?
Thе ԁіffеrеnсе mау come frοm whеrе whісh раrt οf thе plant іѕ used tο mаkе thе tea. In thе case οf white tea, thе leaves used аrе those found οnƖу οn thе branch tips, particularly thе leaf bud аnԁ possibly thе first two leaves under thе bud. Thаt actually accounts fοr thе extremely delicate taste οf white tea.
On thе οthеr hand, black tea іѕ mаԁе frοm thе mature leaves οf Camellia sinensis. Thе leaves аrе fully developed. Whеn steeped аnԁ processed, thе resulting flavor hаѕ a natural tang аnԁ loaded wіth richness.
Another source οf distinction іѕ thаt black tea, unlike green tea аnԁ oolong tea, іѕ fully oxidized during processing. Thіѕ іѕ actually another reason whу black teas аrе more full-bodied аnԁ robust іn taste, compared tο green tea, whісh іѕ more delicate аnԁ fresh-tasting.
Black Tea Types
Thеrе аrе several different kinds οf black tea available іn thе market today. Oftеn, thе ԁіffеrеnсе lies іn thе names, whісh аrе usually taken frοm thе districts іn thе countries whеrе thеу аrе grown. Hence, уου mау hаνе heard οf Assam (India), Ceylon (Sri Lanka), аnԁ Yunnan (China). Each οf thеѕе black tea types possesses different characteristics, depending οn thе local conditions іn thе various regions whеrе thеу аrе grown.
Besides οftеn being named fοr thе district іn whісh thеу аrе grown, black teas wеrе originally classified according tο whаt leaves οn thе tea plant wаѕ plucked. WhіƖе white tea іѕ picked once a year еνеrу spring frοm leaf buds, thе reformed tip – whісh includes thе leaf bud аnԁ thе first two leaves under bud – саn bе picked tο mаkе black tea. Thіѕ led tο classifications thаt range frοm Pekoe (pronounced ‘PECK-oh’) tο others such аѕ Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe аnԁ Tippy Golden Flowering Orange Pekoe.
Whаt Black Tea Contains
Virtually аƖƖ teas produced frοm Camellia sinensis naturally contain caffeine. Thе ԁіffеrеnсе іn processing ԁοеѕ nοt change thіѕ caffeine content. Sο black tea, oolong, green, аnԁ white tea hаνе approximately thе same amount οf caffeine, falling within a range οf 25 tο 60 mg οf caffeine іn a 6-oz. cup.
In addition, black tea contains several antioxidants thаt аrе gοοԁ fοr thе body. Yου mау hаνе heard οf thе many health benefits οf green tea. Thе reason, οf course, іѕ thе rich antioxidant content οf green tea. Anԁ bесаυѕе black tea іѕ mаԁе form thе same plant аѕ green tea, thаt jus goes tο ѕhοw hοw beneficial black tea саn bе tο уουr health аѕ well.

Hopefully our government's plan to impose compulsory Indonesian National Standard (SNI) on the wheels and motor vehicle battery provides many benefits. As published in the media, the purpose of applying this policy to improve product quality and safety of motorists.
Indeed, good quality will largely determine safe driving and car maintenance. While waiting for the policy, from the driver side we can also perform preventive measures. For example, the battery should we check regularly. It's nothing, battery is very important in the ignition or electrical system. In many cases, lack of maintenance make the short battery (worn out). The next result is difficult to machine in-stater, when the ignition is turned to position "START" sounded just tek .. tek ... tek.
At a minimum, the following battery maintenance steps that you can do:

   1. Monitor the quantity and quality of the water battery. Battery water should have always maintained between the line of low-level and upper level of the usual printed on the battery box. When you are under the low-level immediately added. Because water serves to help cool the battery cells of battery. When the battery is reduced and water is not immediately added, the cells inside the battery may become deformed (warped, these cells should be parallel and perpendicular). Curve of these cells can make a positive and negative plates in contact, eventually leading konsleting. Konsleting that makes the battery pack is not able to store the stun.
   2. Check the terminals on the battery. Check whether there is corrosion or not. Corrosion can be cleaned with hot water poured on the terminals. See also wires positive and negative. Maybe lax or loose. Corrosion and loose wires create weak electric current conductivity. Thus, the current flowing into the starter motor is small and not strong enough to rotate the engine. Give the fat or grease on the terminals to prevent corrosion.
   3. Finish driving, turning off electrical components before switching off the engine, so when the focus turned back to the system load accu Stater.
   4. If the car is not used in a long time, come off the negative terminal of battery for electric shock do not continually sucked. (For Peugeot, removal should be performed by a mechanic).
Remember, durability and battery power is influenced treatment. Usually, within one year of battery already in trouble, for example, no longer able to keep the voltage in a long time. With good and proper care, the battery life can be more than one year.

Machine is installed at the back and the lowest part of the vehicle. Passenger space and front wheel tilt when turning. Although the body of the driver go sideways, but stressed to the back seat. This can be obtained because of the slope movement is aligned with the vertical axis the rider's body. Vehicle Venture describe it exactly the same as driving a vehicle with a jet fighter plane with two wheels on the ground.
Tilt Turn
The concept of body tilt when turning a patent is designed and owned by Carver Engineering BV of the Netherlands. When turning, the vehicle is tilted the front wheel and body, while the rear wheels and the engine remained upright.
To tilt the front wheels and the body used vehicle dynamic control system technology (DVC). The slope of the body laterally to reach an angle of 45 degrees with a speed of lateral movement of 85 degrees per second. Also used an automatic system to adjust the balance, keeping the ideal slope of vehicles on various road conditions and speeds, such as when accelerating or sliding on slippery road surfaces and decreases. For this, the slope of the regulatory system works automatically adjust the distribution between the front wheel angle and body.
When moving slowly, the movement of the steering mechanism is fully directed to the front wheels. As a result, the vehicle is in an upright position. When higher speed, steering wheel movement translates to tilt the front wheels and the body. To this DVC system hydraulic and mechanical work
Resources Mobilisation
Venture is offered in two engine packages: 50 and Q100 and hybrid electric only, Venture EV. Also has provided a variety of accessories for its owner. The concept of hybrid drive consists of a small internal combustion engine is directly integrated with 15-20 kW power generator.
To move the vehicles used 2.5 kW electric motor mounted directly on the rear wheels. In addition, also equipped with gas tank capacity of 16 liters. Listtrik To save energy, use Lithium-Ion battery that can generate power 3kW.
Quite interestingly, hybrid VentureOne use KERS (kinetic energy rocovery system) that works electrically to restore the energy that should be wasted. When the vehicle brakes, the kinetic energy normally wasted is converted into electricity and stored in the battery.
As a result, fuel consumption 40 km per liter and is able to speed up 160 km per hour. Acceleration 0-96 km per hour just 7 seconds. Some reporters who tried VentureOne agility impressed with this vehicle. So also with Jenson Button, F1 driver of the Honda, which give it a try on the dirt road. Once out of this vehicle, Button immediately exclaimed, "Fantastic!"
From the appearance and fuel consumption, VentureOne quite interesting. In contrast in terms of price, especially for Indonesian people pocket size, fairly expensive. Because the hybrid version diancar-ancar maximum 20,000 U.S. dollars, or approximately USD 185 million, while electricity is more expensive versions anymore, 23,000 U.S. dollars, or USD 215 million.

   7. Jeep Wrangler 4 door.
   8. Nissan Titan
The cars are judged less qualified in protecting drivers and passengers, causing anyone who was in the passenger cabin suffered a fatal injury, even causing profound impact for the victim.
How did the car makers?
Cadillac for example, reacted by saying that the Cadillac had to meet safety standards of the U.S. government. "All the cars we've had 100 different types of security tests," the Cadillac.
Chevrolet also said the same. While Chrysler claims 4 car had won various awards IIHS about safety.

Seputar Indonesia embarked on the journey back and forth from the Bekasi region with the odometer showed 431 miles. The route taken is Bekasi, South Line, Navan, Karang Anyar, and Gunung Kidul. In Purwokerto Seputar Indonesia had to first walk around to relieve fatigue. In Karang Anyar, Seputar Indonesia, even forced to turn back toward Sumpiuh because there are matters that must be resolved first.
As a result, the challenge of proving borosnya heavier gasoline car. The condition of the more difficult because of traffic jams that occur everywhere. When Seputar Indonesia reached Gunung Kidul, Central Java, the odometer showed 1057 miles. Incredible journey far as it reaches 600 kilometers more. Remarkably, during the trip Seputar Indonesia only twice did the filling. First in East Bekasi areaTol rest area and in Navan. The amount of money spent only reached Rp560.000.
Given the high cost of tickets going home, that number is quite extraordinary. Moreover, it is enough to prove that the Toyota Kijang Innova 2.0 E-wastes no very extravagant. Fortunately for you who own a car like this.
Silent Cab, Full Torque
SINCE the beginning of the journey, the first thing that attracted our attention was the silence that once was in the car. The second thing is that very subtle vibration.

Moreover, large cabin space and is designed specifically for ease in setting the space as needed while driving. The third case, the stability in the streets that are not flat and declining.

Chicago, Illinois, March 25, 2008. Recently, the federal government levied $25,000,000 in fines against 3 weight loss supplement manufacturers, including the highly publicized TrimSpa, featuring celebrity spokesperson, Anna Nicole Smith.

This shouldn't be a surprise.

Ms. Smith, who provided visible, physical evidence of the product's ability to help shed pounds, admitted to reporters over a year ago, that she lost much of the weight in ways other than ingestion of the TrimSpa product (Don't ask how she did it. It's not pleasant).

Beyond the appearance of results provided by Ms. Smith, the federal government looked deeper and found that little or no clinical evidence existed to support the TrimSpa’s weight loss claims.

TrimSpa, apparently, was a successful marketing ploy, rather than good science applied to an age old problem of excess weight.

Fortunately, there are companies out there that spend more on research, science and good weight loss product development, than on empty celebrity endorsements.

But, you need to know how to find them, and what to look for. Here are some guidelines for finding effective weight loss supplements:

#1 Look for a Product with claims substantiated by hard science

Many weight loss supplement manufacturers claim to be �clinically-proven", to have �documented results� or to be �backed by scientific research� to sell their products. But you need to see the research yourself. If a manufacturer is unwilling to provide substantiation, run like the wind.

#2 Not all Clinical Research is the same

Look closely at the clinical studies provided by weight loss manufacturers. Was it conducted by a reputable, recognized institution, such as Georgetown University Medical Center, Harvard or other known organization? If the manufacturer provides study results that were conducted by unspecified persons, under vague conditions, question their product claims

#3 What happens in the manufacturing plant

This can be murky. While a manufacturer may have scientific studies, conducted at reputable institutions that substantiate their product claims, they may not be putting the right ingredient purity, quality grade or dosage to help you realize the same results achieve in clinical studies.

Effective weight loss ingredients are expensive. One way a manufacturer can goose profits, is to lower the amount of active ingredients, while benefiting from legitimate result claims.

To make sure you'll be getting the same product as used in clinical testing, is to look for quality manufacturing verification from independent organizations, such as USP (US Pharmacopoeia), NF or Consumer Labs. Look for one or more of their symbols on weight loss packaging. If it's missing, avoid buying the product.

Getting beyond the hype of questionable, but often convincing celebrity endorsements requires some homework on the consumers’ part. But by following these three guidelines, it is possible to find a weight loss supplement that actually works.

Many pregnant women are difficult due to too much stress on the surrounding conditions. At least, that's why there are allegations of some women who do not also blessed with a baby. There have been many studies conducted to prove it. Recent research that finally managed to prove: that women have a higher stress enzymes likely to be fertilized in the fertile period tended to decrease 12 percent.
High stress levels can damage the chances for women to get pregnant, so the warning from researchers. 12 percent figure was small, but this mainly occurs in women at age late 30s the new planning first pregnancy. Generally, women in this age range fertility begins to decline due to age.
According to a study conducted at Oxford University and the U.S. National Institutes of Health, in women with problems in the conception, found in blood levels of markers of stress hormones (called alpha-amylase) that are consistently higher.
"This is the first study to find whether the size of stress may be associated with the chances for women to get pregnant that month," said Dr Cecilia Pyper, from the National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit at Oxford University. "Women with high levels of stress markers tend not successfully fertilized."
Research published in the journal Fertility and Sterility is done by testing saliva 274 women aged 18-40 years, who were all planning a pregnancy, but not more than three months.
Researchers analyzed the levels of cortisol (stress hormone) and alpha-amylase enzyme, which is a marker for adrenaline. Researchers conducted tests on the sixth day of the menstrual cycle of the respondents for a total of six cycles, or until the woman is pregnant. Fertility monitors are used to identify ovulation and make sure the pregnancy with pregnancy testers.
From testing, it appears that cortisol does not affect the chances of getting pregnant. But for women with high levels of alpha-amylase highest hamilnya reduced 12 percent chance for each day from the days of the most fertile, than those with levels of alpha-amylase its lowest.
"Regardless of the day or the frequency of intercourse during the fertile period, women with alpha-amylase concentration was higher likely will not lead to conception than those with lower concentrations. Stress significantly reduce the chances of conception, "said Dr Pyper.
He said, is not clear how stress hormones can affect fertility. However, this possibility can reduce blood flow in the oviduct, which can affect eggs or sperm transport.
So, suggestions that the couple should be free of stress if you want to have children, it should be considered. "In some people, quite relevant to perform relaxation techniques, counseling, and even approaches such as yoga and meditation," added Dr Pyper. According to him, a kind of therapy is also able to increase the chances of successful pregnancy with IVF method.
Fertility specialist, Dr Allan Pacey, said that the discovery is really exciting. However, although the couples are generally already know that they should be relaxed if you want to have a baby, the reality is not easy to do so.
"My advice really, couples do not have to worry about the fertility schedule, and do not seek pregnancy it becomes a chore. That's what can make you stress! "

Joana Rocha Pauleta, MD, and colleagues conducted research on the activities of the pregnant woman about her pregnancy. They conducted a survey of 188 women who had just given birth at a hospital. The women who made these respondents live a healthy pregnancy and risk free. This is the result of research conducted on women aged between 17-40 years old:

   1. Nearly a quarter of women are afraid that having sex will harm the baby, but only 3 of the respondents who ultimately delaying intercourse until the baby was born to do. Two of 3 women are doing other acts of sexual intercourse. Which one, really put off having sex.
   2. 80 percent of women reported sexual activity in the third semester. As many as 39 percent said they did copulate in the final trimester of pregnancy.
   3. The frequency of sexual activity that women did not decline for most women until the final trimester of pregnancy, although 10 percent said that sexual activity is more frequent in the final trimester than the first and second.
   4. Almost all women are active during pregnancy do copulation; 38 percent engage in oral sex, 20 percent reported masturbating, and 7 percent of anal sex.
   5. Approximately 39 percent of women said they felt the same sex drive as before they become pregnant. While a third of the women felt no sebergairah before pregnancy.
   6. Half of the respondents said that sex during pregnancy as great before they become pregnant. While 28 percent said not too satisfactory.
   7. As many as 41.5 percent of the women said they felt no longer as attractive or sesensual before pregnancy. However, 75 percent of the women do not feel unwanted, meaning they feel their husbands are still receiving them.
   8. About three-quarters of respondents said they did not experience sexual problems, the rest felt experience. Problem is, among others; arousal is reduced, painful sex, hard orgasm, difficulty melubrikasi intimate areas. In addition, only 11 percent of these women say they feel the need to talk with your doctor to have sex during pregnancy.
Pauleta and his colleagues say, this problem is related to the cultural background of the women. In Pakistan and Nigeria, the women believe that intercourse during pregnancy can help to widen the vagina and ease of exit of the baby. While in Iran, most women believe that sex during pregnancy can make baby blind or damage the hymen infant child (if female).
Irwin Goldstein, MD, director of the sexuality in San Diego's Alvarado Hospital, said, "Having sexual intercourse would not have a negative impact on pregnancy. However, many couples feel uncomfortable pregnant wife having sex for fear of hurting her baby. This is a false vision and need to be taught further. "

Miscarriage is often interpreted as the spontaneous death of the fetus before 24 weeks gestation. In the first three months of pregnancy, miscarriage is very common. Chances are two in every 10 pregnancies miscarried. These problems will be primarily experienced by women who turned 35 years old.
Most women who have had a miscarriage one time will usually be able to maintain a subsequent pregnancy. However, 1 percent of pregnant women will experience recurrent pregnancy loss as much as three times or more. The cause is rarely known that this causes women to feel sad and frustrated. It had been so, not all obstetricians offer treatments that are really needed.
No wonder, according to Dr Hassan Shehata, medical director of The Miscarriage Clinic in London, many patients are disappointed with how doctors cope with recurrent miscarriage. "Miscarriage is not viewed as a serious condition because it does not make women who experience it usually dies and there is no baby that can be embraced or buried," he admitted.
In fact, continued Shehata, no one could feel sad to lose the baby, except for women who experience it. He himself does not believe that abortion is only a matter of luck. Research shows that about 90 percent of recurrent miscarriages are caused by conditions that can be diagnosed.
The problem, in the National Health Service (NHS), health care systems in the UK, these women are treated by doctors who have no specialization. As a result, doctors do not recommend to perform a series of examinations of existing and instead perform unnecessary tests.
If a miscarriage has occurred three times, to do a special examination for the patient. Shehata said, now comes the evidence that thyroid problems, seliak disease (disorder that causes the bowel is unable to absorb nutrients), and polycystic ovary syndrome (endocrine abnormalities in the female reproductive system) could be a factor causing a miscarriage.
To find out whether the cause of miscarriage is one of the disease, blood tests are not necessary. For example, to find out whether the overactive immune system (which can cause rejection of the fetus) or any blood disorders, such as Hughes syndrome (excessive blood coagulation that inhibit the supply of nutrients to the fetus).
Another inspection may be carried out include a biopsy of the lining of the uterus to check for progesterone levels after ovulation (the hormone that is needed to ensure proper embryo embedded in the wall of the uterus). In addition, should also be done in the ultrasound and examination to identify any anatomical deficiency. Then, you and your partner can also check whether there are chromosomal abnormalities.
The sooner there is any abnormality is found, the more easily overcome. Syndrome of blood coagulation, for example, can be controlled with a blood-thinning drugs. Overactive immune system which can be mitigated by steroids. Polycystic ovarian syndrome can be controlled by adjusting the diet and taking drugs.
Shehata hopes health institutions began to regard abortion as a serious problem. Health practitioners should be able to identify what treatment is needed to prevent a miscarriage prior to conception.
"Doctors usually just ask the patient to do the process of fertilization, only then began to worry whether the patient would be a miscarriage or not," he said.
Age of women who perform pregnancy program is also a major problem, added Professor Lesley Regan, a consultant obstetrics and gynecology at Imperial College Healthcare, London. He suggested that married couples are no longer putting off having children so as not to have problems later. When women were aged over 35 years, which will be faced not only the risk of miscarriage. Programs like IVF would be reduced his chances, with the increasing age of women.

Blood type O is most common in the world. Unfortunately, the researchers found that women with blood group was found to increase risk of fertility problems until doubled. Thus, the age increases, women will also be difficult o get pregnant.
Nearly half the female population in the UK (44 percent) had blood group O. As many as 42 percent have blood type A and 14 percent AB. Many women who do not know what blood type, and just knowing when to donate blood or to undergo testing when sick or pregnant.
Well, according to American researchers, those with type O blood tend to have low ovarian reserve (the remaining number of eggs that are still healthy) than any other blood type. In fact, this ovarian reserve itself will decrease throughout the life of women. Newborn baby girl has 2 million eggs, but when entering puberty declined in number to 400,000. Once women entered the age of 40 years, the amount will be left a few hundred.
To get this discovery, researchers from Yale University and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, in New York, tested the blood group 563 women under age 45, who was a fertility treatment. They compared the levels of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), the chemical in the blood, on the respondent. FSH levels are high (over 10) indicates that a woman has a low ovarian reserve and will be difficult to conceive.
Those with blood group O tend to have a FSH level above 10 up to two times that. While that her FSH levels above 20 are considered infertile. Therefore, the researchers say, women can make a decision later when it will begin to get pregnant based on blood type this.
Nevertheless, many women who managed to type O have children because there are a number of other factors that affect fertility, such as age, weight, and alcohol consumption.
"We found that women with blood type A and AB, women with blood group A gene, protected from the problems of decreased ovarian reserve," said Dr. Edward Nejat from Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
Another problem faced by the blood group A is an increased risk of arthritis and stomach infections caused by bacteria such as E. coli, while the type A and AB tend to suffer from heart disease and stroke.
