For years we have been inundated with diet  and exercise programs, diet pills, expensive exercise machines, liposuction techniques, gastrointestinal surgery, bariatric surgery stimulation, even brain surgery, all in the attempt to lose that excessive baggage, called body fat. The breakthrough news is that there is an easy and healthy way to organically gain that dream weight and stay that way. It is called Ezy-Slim plant food supplement, that actually works.

This unique organic formulation uses 100% pure herbal and fruit fibre ingredients. It reduces body weight by tackling cellulite and eliminating subcutaneous fat deposits, plus other benefits.

Heroism comes in all shapes and sizes and for many the word has been overdone. However, there are some people who, for whatever reason, are an inspiration to others. People who just never give up, no matter what the odds are. People who are the eternal optimist.

Twenty one year old Douglas Bader’s legs were amputated when he was injured when his RAF plane crashed in 1931. The wing caught the ground while the young Douglas was doing a low level roll, prior to landing.

Douglas never gave up. He demanded some aluminum alloy artificial legs, (prosthese) and learned to drive a car, play tennis and golf and fly a plane without legs. Though discharged medically from the RAF, by 1939, well into the Second World War, Douglas was permitted to rejoin the RAF, after a seven year gap.

The indomitable and legless Bader, was given the challenge of becoming the Acting Squadron Leader of the battle weary, demoralized 242 Hurricane Squadron.  In their first major sortie they took down 12 German planes and never looked back. Bader quickly earned himself a reputation as an ace pilot and became the terror to the Germans. He was among the group of pilots who helped cover the retreat of the British army, at Dunkirk.

August 9th 1941, Baden’s luck ran out and bailed out of his plane, over occupied France, losing his artificial limbs as he fell. He was captured by the Germans. He was recaptured after managing to escape from a hospital unit and had his artificial legs confiscated. He was sent to the high security Colditz Prison, where he became an inspiration to the other prisoners, until his release in 1945. Bador was able to lead his men in a flypast commemorating the end of the war, on September 15th 1945.

Baden survived the war and was not only awarded the DSO for extraordinary leadership, but also the DFC and the Legion D’Honneur and the Croix de Guerre. In 1976 he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth for his service to amputees.

Baden became a legend in his own lifetime with advice like, “Never, never make them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible. Don’t listen to any one who tells you that you can’t do this or that. That’s nonsense, make up your mind, then have a go for everything”.

His life was immortalized in the British biographical film, ‘Reach For The Sky’, which starred Kenneth Moore, as Douglas. The film strove to teach that problems are merely something to be resolved and that challenges are simply Blue Moon (once in a lifetime) Opportunities to grow. The film won the BAFTA Award for Best British Film of 1956. Captain Bader died in 1982.

Captain Bader will always be held up as a classic example of a person who was never afraid to take a once in a lifetime Blue Moon Opportunity.

We have heard of those who have learned to paint with their feet, but Jessica Cox, with no arms, is an absolute inspirations. She has achieved more in her short lifetime, than a lot of people achieve with two hands and feet in an entire lifetime. For Jessica, the words ‘Can’t and Impossible’ do not exist in her dictionary.

Twenty-five year old, Jessica, from Tucson, Arizona, was born, with a mysterious bilateral congenital limb deficiency, that left her without arms. Refusing to use any prosthetic devices, Jessica set out to achieve whatever her heart desired.

In October 10, 2008 Jessica became the first pilot without arms, to be awarded a license to fly a light-sport aircraft to altitudes of 10,000 feet. Jessica also has two black belts in Tae Kwan-Do, a college degree in psychology and pursues a thriving career as a motivational speaker. Jessica can drive a car, put on her own makeup, brush her long black hair and types 25 words per minute . All these things without the assistance of any special devices. Right from birth, Jessica learned to make her feet become her hands.

Jessica’s bright smile stops one from noticing any defect.  “I highly encourage people with disabilities to consider flying,” Jessica says. “It helps reverse the stereotype that people with disabilities are hampered. It turns them from feeling they are powerless, into the belief that they are capable of setting high goals and achieving them.”

Able Flight training company, in North Carolina, specializes in helping people with disabilities to learn to fly. Jessica won an Able Flight scholarship and was able to obtain her license free of charge.

Without a doubt, Jessica will always make the most of those once in a lifetime Blue Moon Opportunities that change lives. Jessica won’t lie down to the circumstances around her but will take life by the horns and twist it her way.

A lot of people have dreams of becoming a millionaire, as is seen by the popular television show, ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?’. However, for most people they allow the ‘system’ to trap them into thinking they do not have the ability to succeed. They do not have ‘what it takes.’ This couldn’t be further from the truth.

Microsoft was advertising for cleaners. An unemployed man felt he could apply for the position.
The manager of Microsoft arranged for the man to take an aptitude test.

After the test, the manager told the man, “You will be employed as a cleaner at a minimum wage of $5.00 an hour. Let me have your e-mail address, so I can send you a form to complete and tell you where to report for work.”

The man protested that he had neither a computer nor an e-mail address.

The Microsoft manager replied, “That means that you are virtually nonexistent and can therefore hardly expect to find employment at Microsoft.”

Stunned, the man left, not knowing what to do. He only had $10 in his wallet. Suddenly, seeing a Blue Moon Opportunity, the unemployed man made up his mind to buy 25 lb of lush red tomatoes from the market. In less than two hours he had sold all the tomatoes one by one, and scored a profit of 100%.

Several more times that day the repeated the process, ending up with almost $100.00 before going to sleep that night. He was convinced he could quite easily make a good living selling tomatoes. Every day he rose real early and would go to bed very late, as he continued the process day in day out. He quickly multiplied his profit.

After a short time he acquired a cart to transport several dozen boxes of tomatoes, only to have to trade it in again so that he could buy a pickup truck to support his expanding business. By the end of the second year, he owned a fleet of pickup trucks and managed a staff of a hundred former unemployed people, all selling tomatoes. Planning for the future of his wife and children, he decided to buy some life insurance.

After consulting an insurance broker, he picked an insurance plan to fit his new circumstances. At the end of the telephone conversation, the adviser asked him for his e-mail address in order to send
the final documents electronically.

The man replied that he had no e-mail. The stunned insurance broker spluttered, “What, you don’t have e-mail? How on earth have you managed to amass such wealth without the Internet, e-mail and e-commerce? Just imagine where you would be now, if you had been connected to the Internet from the
very start!”

“Well,” replied the tomato millionaire, “I would be a cleaner at Microsoft!”

There are five lessons to this story:

1.The Internet, e-mail and e-commerce do not need to rule your life if you have the spirit of an entrepreneur.

2.If you don’t have e-mail, but work hard, you could still become a millionaire.

3.Since you got this story via the Internet, you’re probably closer to becoming a cleaner than you are to becoming a millionaire.

4.If you do have a computer and e-mail, you have already been taken to the cleaners by Microsoft.

5.If you have an entrepreneurial spirit and aspire to become a millionaire, never give up. Look for that once in a lifetime Blue Moon Opportunity. Think outside the norm. Don’t listen to the negative people around you. There is always a way if you have the will.

It was Sydney Myer’s great entrepreneurial drive that resulted in the successful Australian wide chain of Myer Stores. His family were refugees from Moscow in the late 1900’s.

Most of us are familiar with having to pass through a metal detector to make sure no one is carrying a gun, or other lethal weapon, before going in to listen to a controversial speaker. Carry bags may even be confiscated to make sure you are not carrying any rotten tomatoes, eggs or fruit. The time has come though, when you will see rows upon rows of shoes lined up at the doorway, like outside a mosque, if the shoe-throwing fettish gets any further out of hand. Either people will begin carrying an extra shoe, or you will also see many one-shoed people hobbling home after a public meeting. Shoe shops will do a roaring trade either way.

Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao, while speaking at Cambridge University in England, was called a dictator, as an over enthusiastic protester flung his shoe at the visitor. “How can the university prostitute itself with this dictator?” was yelled from the back of the crowd. The police arrested the shoe-thrower on suspicion of a public order offence.

Mr Wen described the incident as ‘despicable’. China decried the event as deplorable.

This follows the incident of the irate Iraqi journalist who threw a shoe at United States President George W. Bush. Mr Bush later joked about the incident, while the journalist is facing a charge of aggression against a foreign head of state. If convicted he faces up to 15 years imprisonment.

A group of around 100 protesters assembled outside the White House on the last day of President Bush’s administration, armed with mountains of shoes. “Don’t hit me,” grinned one of the officers behind the White House fence, as shoes rained down around him. Thousands joined the protesters and stopped to pick up a shoe and throw it over the fence. “It’s not that we hate Bush, we just hate what he has done to the country,” one protester said. Many felt it was a great way to get the Bush era out of their system. It took a small truck to haul all the shoes away.

However, shoetime really began with Russian Premier Nikita Khrushchev when in 1956 he pounded the podium with his shoe, declaring that the US economy would bury capitalism.

Krushchev followed this with another outburst at the United Nations when he got angry with the Philippine delegation calling them simply a stooge of the US.

Whatever way you look at it, being a shoe manufacturer in 2009 could be your once in a lifetime Blue Moon Opportunity.

‘Never say die’ may have been around for a while, but has an even more vital message to deliver to a world suffering financial crises. It was Bill Clinton who raised the only positive voice at the recent World Economic Forum.

The one bright and shining star, in the midst of this year’s doom and gloom at the World Economic Forum, was the ‘on-the-side’ diplomat, the former president, Bill Clinton. He was only in Davos, Switzerland, for little more than 24 hours, yet he left a very distinctive and positive mark. The official spokesperson for the White House, was presidential aide Valerie Jarret, who was a very unimposing presence.

When world leaders gathered together for the annual WEF, pointed fingers were long and voices sharp, as they singled America out as the cause of the global financial crisis. Both the Russian and Chinese leaders declared America’s guilt with great great delight, at every possible opportunity. However, in eagerly laying the blame on the United States of America, they forgot that with one finger pointing accusingly forward, there were three other fingers pointing back at themselves. No one, in the current global financial mess can say they are innocent bystanders.

Clinton’s charismatic figure rose like a superstar, from the first moments of his special plenary session with Klaus Schwab, the originator of WEF, to his public pep talks and the string of private talks with foreign dignitaries. Clinton firmly accepted the role of the United States in the current financial chaos, referring to the cutting words flung by the Chinese prime minister Wen Jiabao.  Clinton insisted that, “China must continue subsidizing the United States budget and trade deficit in order to preserve its own vital export industries.” He constantly urged everyone to, “Give people confidence by showing confidence. Don’t give up. This is still a good time to be alive”.

Clinton went on to point out that, “Global interdependence is more important than anything else in the world today. We cannot escape each other. Divorce is not an option.” Every nation must take its share of the blame.

Clinton’s private meetings also included a 90 minute discussion with the Russian Premier and former prime minister, Vladimir Putin, behind closed doors. Neither would make any comment on the content of their talk.

WEF is a group of prestigious leaders, who have been meeting annually since 1971. Their goal to globalize the world, economically, socially and politically. These elite leaders have found their financial worth and moral credibility decreased in the light of the worldwide economic catastrophe.

The highlights on the home page of the World Economic Forum website, declared China’s Prime Minister Wen Jiabao, as saying, “China’s economy is showing signs of early recovery, late last December, even though they are only small signs.”

With the world in financial crisis, you need to look for opportunities that you can turn to your benefit. Take a quick look at a once in a lifetime Blue Moon Opportunity at Win A Resort.

Whether you are thinking about stealing a shark, or doing your own vasectomy, it is definitely a very bizarre fishy story.

Thirty year old Elbert Starks, of Freeport, Long Island, committed a bizarre shark heist, from Total Aquarium in Lynbrook, USA. He stalked up to an aquarium tank where a foot-long baby nurse shark, was swimming. The shark was worth $350.

Believing he was not being watched, Starks snatched up the shark, slipped it underneath his jacket and snuck out of the shop. Throwing the shark into the back of his car, he transported it without water to his home, where he placed it in an expensive 250 gallon aquarium. Unfortunately for Starks, Jared Goldenberg, 28, saw the entire incident and reported it to the police.

Starks however was not finished. He later stole a credit card and quickly purchased a moray eel at another pet store, in the Rockville Centre. Starks must have thought slipping a moray eel under his jacket was not a good idea.

Brendan Jones, a worker at Parrots of the World said, “Starks obviously made a poor decision when he started his thing for fish. He won’t be stealing too many fish where he’s going? More likely get the job gutting them.”

Earlier an equally bizarre fishy story had been reported when a 24 year-old man decided to lift a pair of live crabs. Placing them in his pants he sprinted for the door, only to be brought to his knees in front of the cashier. The sharp pincers of the crabs had unrelentingly locked onto his manhood.

The fast-holding crustaceans were removed with pliers by doctors at the local hospital. However, not before the man had undergone a very painful, self-imposed vasectomy. It was reported the shopkeeper did not press charges, as he felt the crab-nabber had already suffered enough.

These two men did not recognize that none of these incidents were true, once in a lifetime Blue Moon Opportunities. Yes they certainly changed both men’s lives, but in a very negative way. Your true opportunity waits for you at Win A Resort.

While Dubai presents such a beautiful modern and glitzy face to the world, in the background there is an entirely different scene.

A British mother-of-two lost her appeal against an adultery conviction in Dubai. Her six month sentence has been halved, but it looks as if she is to still serve the remainder of a three-month jail sentence. This has been confirmed by the UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

Marnie Pearce, aged 40 years old, was fined 3,000 dirhams ($817), faces deportation, besides the prison sentence. It was not clear whether she had been taken into custody following the case on Thursday.

Pearce  was arrested last March and found guilty by the court, of cheating on her Egyptian husband, in adultery with a British man. She told the UK’s Daily Telegraph the man was merely a friend and that she had already been separated from her husband.

The couple, who married in 1999, have two sons, aged seven and four. Pearce was forced to remain in Dubai on bail, while awaiting her appeal.

Several questions arise from this incident:

1. Firstly, why is it never the man who is jailed for committing adultery? Just as it was the woman who was stoned in the Bible – not the man.
2. How many jails would we have to build to hold all those who cheat on their marriage?
3. What about all those women who are forced into marriage in numerous countries, against their free will, by their families, such as the 32 year old British trained doctor?
4. Last and not least, can anyone take their partner to Dubai and have them charged with adultery, as it was an Egyptian and British subject involved? What ruling did a Dubai court have over them?

It seems we are nowhere near past the age of women being treated as mere chattels, in spite of the many who continue to fight for women’s rights. Maybe the White House ‘pantsuit brigade’ will rise to the occasion, just as Barak Obama, on his first day in office, overthrew the Mexico Gag Rule that was anti-abortion, for any NGO that received federal funds from the USA?

Educating the next generation is the only answer for these countries. You can join us in a once in a lifetime Blue Moon Opportunity to help the Lesser Developed Countries. Check it out at Win A Resort. It could change your life too.

Discover and enjoy the hidden secrets of the tropical islands of the South Pacific. A great holiday destination that is right on the doorstep of New Zealand, Australia and New Caledonia.

We have discovered there are many people also trying to make up their mind whether to go to the highly publicized Fiji or lesser known Vanuatu, (New Hebrides). Here are some pointers that may help you. Access to both places is trouble-free – just a short flight from Australia or New Zealand and you will be able to find lots of accommodation and airline deals to both destinations, however…
1.    Vanuatu has not been commercialized like Fiji and there is no bargaining for goods
2.    In Vanuatu you still have easy access to a pristine wilderness experience, with a wide range of accommodation, from top end resorts to island bungalows
3.    Because of the French and British influence, you have a wide variety of fabulous cuisine in Vanuatu, which is not just limited to the resorts. Your taste buds can have a world wide experience in one short holiday
4.    Many visitors have commented on the wide variety of tours, to suit every budget, that are available in Vanuatu. You can have anything from a helicopter ride, to horse-riding on the beach,  a day on a buggy, snorkeling a coral reef, or an around-the-island tour, visiting local beaches and  villages
5.    In Vanuatu  you are not locked into the resort experience, as you are in Fiji, which makes it easier to interact with the local people, who readily greet you with a friendly smile. After all, Vanuatu was voted the Happiest Country on Earth in 2006
6.    There is nowhere else in the world where you can stand on the lip of a live volcano, other than Vanuatu. This is nothing short of an absolutely awesome experience
7.    Vanuatu is politically more stable than Fiji
8.    A wide variety of island experiences are easily accessible in Vanuatu, if you have the time and the money. Every island has its own individual culture and language. (Only Papua New Guinea has more languages than Vanuatu)
9.    Because of the uniqueness of each of the 83 islands in the Vanuatu archipelago, there is an equally wide variety of tradition and culture. All easily experienced by the visitor
10.    Vanuatu is the original home of extreme sport. A trip to the island of Pentecost to watch the land dive, is totally unforgettable
11.     Vanuatu is home to one of the world’s largest free standing musical instruments, the traditional tam-tam
12.    Vanuatu has some of the best deep sea fishing in the South Pacific

While Fiji has a high profile in the headlines of the advertising gurus, the tropical islands of Vanuatu, tucked away in the far North West corner of the South Pacific, has been the best kept secret of the South Pacific tropical islands. It is your year to discover these mystical and exotic islands, but remember we don’t want too many visitors rushing there, so that it can retain it its own special magic and individual Vanuatu charm. No one wants Vanuatu to become just another Fiji, Honolulu, or Gold Coast.

GuGu is a 240 pound, cuddly, cute-looking panda, living in the Beijing zoo. However, his nature does not follow his looks, as a visitor found recently out. Climbing a five foot barrier into GuGu’s enclosure, to retrieve his child’s toy, the visitor was grabbed by the panda. The victim had to have surgery to his major ligaments.

In an earlier incident a teenager had climbed into the enclosure in October, (can’ visitors read the signs?) The teenager’s flesh was ripped from his legs.

In 2007 GuGu took exception to a drunk who tried to give him a hug. When GuGu bit the man, he bit the panda back.

Moral to the story: don’t be fooled by things that look cute, there may be hidden vices behind those cuddly looks. An encounter with a panda is not the once in a lifetime Blue Moon Opportunity you are looking for.
