Fine Articles Yoli is one of the newest additions to the MLM world and is of this writing (fall 2009) still in pre-launch mode with the official launch being planned for January 2010. Yoli is an aztec word and means “to live” and this is a company founded by distributors for distributors. All of the six founders, Corey Citron, Robbie Fender, Daren Falter, Michael Prichard, Rick Eisele and Bobby Jones have been highly successful within their respective fields in the past and most of them have built enormous organizations reaching thousands and hundreds of thousands of distributors around the globe. That Yoli within its first month in pre-launch is already at over $1 million in monthly sales says something of the experience and relationship to the industry these leaders are bringing to the table.
Yoli is entering into the 50 billion dollar per year energy drink market with its products, and many people may think that this market is saturated already. But Yoli comes like a fresh breeze into the market with their proprietary Blast Cap Technology which provides a solution to the problems that 99% of the other beverages out there are facing. Almost all of the beverages in the market place are boiled, pasteurized and goes through what is called aseptic processing to remove bacterias and enhance shelf life. This processing lowers the nutritional values immensily and the nutritional values also detorierates over time. Did you know for instance that 80% of vitamin C’s potency is lost from a beverage after it’s been on the shelf for 30 days?
Yoli has a patented technology that take the nutrition at the peak of ripeness and freeze dry it into powder. What you then do is that you attach the cap to the top of a bottle filled with water, blast it open and the contents then mixes with the water and create your beverage. The shelf life is forever and you can bring it with you wherever you go. Yoli doesn’t use any artificial sweeteners as well, but rather Stevia (reb-A) which is a natural sweetener. And the new reb-A version has no after taste like regular Stevia has. The product also has a zero glycemic index, it alkalizes the body and it can even be consumed by diabetics since the drink does not raise your blood sugar.

Fine Articles On the 17th day of February in the year of 2009, the television transmissions involving analog signals came to an end. As a result all who desired to continue watching their favorite television programming had to convert to digital television. Those who failed to do so were doomed to observe nothing but a black screen. Millions of people rushed out to purchase new televisions that were specially designed for the new digital signals. Unfortunately, many of these individuals discovered that acquiring a clear reception was a bit challenging. Here, you will be introduced to the top 3 tips on improving reception with digital television.
1. If you are implementing the use of an indoor antenna in order to acquire a signal for your digital television, it may be necessary to move the antenna to a higher area in the room. Naturally, the cable that connects the television to the antenna will need to be longer so you may have to purchase this.
2. When purchasing the cable that will connect to the indoor antenna, it is important to understand that you should only purchase what is absolutely necessary. The cable carries the signal and the longer the distance that the signal has to go, the lower the signal strength will be. While a coaxial cable is appropriate for the task, ensure that it has a connector that is referred to as a “barrel”.
3. If you use an outdoor antenna to improve the reception of your digital television, remember that the overall aim of the unit is essential. If your digital TV has an onscreen adjustment feature, or an actual audio feature, be sure to use it in order to ensure that your unit is pointing in the area of the maximum strength.
It is not difficult to improve the reception on a digital television set. It can be challenging, but if you implement the use of an indoor or outdoor antenna, using the top 3 tips listed here can be highly beneficial. Before long, you will be capturing all of your favorite channels clearly.

Fine Articles Introduction
The term ‘control wear’ is a relatively recent one. At one time these garments were called stays then corsets or girdles. The word ‘corset’ has old fashioned connotations so no doubt with modern materials and technology there is a need to find new ways to modernise the concept of body control garments. It seems quite clever to me to find such a good generic word to describe something which is a delicate subject (even unmentionable) and at the same time to promote such garments so that they become fashionable and popular. Somehow the term ‘control wear’ gives the right emphasis and explains exactly what it does.Control wear is a garment that affects the shape and line of the body to improve the basic silhouette before adding the outer layer of clothing
Desirable silhouettes
Every culture has its idea of the ideal figure for a woman, and all the women belonging to that culture will try to fulfil this ideal regardless of their natural propensity. Who determines how the perfect woman should look is debatable, but there is no doubt it is part of the mating ritual so that men will find a woman desirable and want to have her for his mate. Different cultures have different ideas of beauty and some cultures like their women fat, others like them thin. Sometimes it’s colour of hair or eyes, other times it’s body fitness, long legs, long necks or wide hips, but usually it’s the myth (often unconscious) that certain shapes, styles or colour will specify the healthiest women for child bearing in order to fulfil our biological purpose to perpetuate the species.
When you look back through the centuries at the different styles of dress it becomes obvious that extremes of fashion usually appear at a time of affluence and leisure. It was only the very rich who could afford such luxuries of extreme styles. The poor had to make do with whatever they could find, or make themselves, to cover their bodies for warmth and decency. During times of hardship the styles became more practical and less elaborate. After the First World War some progressive women shocked the world by wearing bloomer like trousers when riding the new contraption called a bicycle.During the First World War there was a revolution in women’s clothing. They needed to be more practical and manageable for the wearer as many women involved themselves in helping with the war effort.
In some ways things have not changed much today. The famous and wealthy spend an undue amount of time and money on what they wear and the way they look and aim to create an image of the perfect male or female form for the rest of us to emulate. To that end they go on diets, have surgery or inject Botox, spend time with personal trainers and work out etc. As well as all that they find a need to resort to control wear to make sure there are no bulges or creases to mar their perfect form.When I was a very skinny teenager, Marilyn Monroe and Jane Mansfield were the models for female perfection with large breasts and small waists. I had the small waist but that was about all. Later along came Twiggy with her thin body and legs and I would have been the required shape but alas by then I had produced three children and could now emulate the previous models.
The beer gut could become a thing of the past as men are taking to using controlwear to improve their figures.
History of Control Wear and Body Shaping Forms
Throughout history there seems to have been a need to change the female form or to modify it in some way. If you look back to the Elizabethan times, their huge wide skirts and flat fronts made women look like cardboard cut-outs. The skirts were so wide they would have to turn sideways to pass through doorways. Later there came differing levels of bust enhancement, hip or bottom enhancement, waist constriction and wide skirts, as well as all the many variations in sleeve styles, neckline and collars, overskirts, underskirts, I could go on forever.Changing the body line seems to have been an obsession from the mid 16th century
The earliest known control wear appearing during the 16th Century were called ‘pavre of bodies’ which contained the upper torso in the shape of a cone or cylinder. These forms later became the more familiar ‘stays’ which were made of wood or whale bone. The idea was to level the front of the body and in doing so push up the breasts so they bulged out of the top of the bodice. During one phase of the more promiscuous 18th century period, the nipples were encouraged to peep out, no doubt to titillate the male desire. Illegitimate babies were the norm and not treated as disgraceful during this time.
Stays were considered an essential item to keep the figure straight by supporting the back, tightening the midriff and improving posture. The restriction at the waist prevented bending and forced women to use their legs for lifting and thereby protecting their backs. Stays survived until the late 18th century when the empire style became into fashion around 1796. The bust was contained and pushed up by short stays and the waist line was just below the bust so that the natural waist line was concealed
When the waistline returned to its natural position the body restriction reappeared in the 1830’s. And the term ‘corset’ was used for the first time in English. Its purpose was to gird the waist and support the breasts. During Victorian times the ideal form was an 18 inch waist with a full wide skirt supported by hoops to the floor. Ankles could not be seen and busts were emphasised but covered with lace for modesty. The shape I guess was determined by the natural figure of the young Victoria but exaggerated to create a fashion. To obtain this line the women forced themselves into whalebone corsets which were long, extending down beyond the natural waist line thus resulting in serious body-shaping. They were laced at the back therefore a maid was required to fasten the laces as they could not dress or undress themselves. To produce a tiny waist some women would have the corset pulled so tight they could hardly breathe. This then pushed the breasts upwards and compressed the internal organs.
During this period fainting was an art and it came easily when there was no room to breathe and everything else was squashed; added to that, the night air was considered bad for your health, so evening events became hot and stuffy. As a result dancing could cause women in the most robust health to feel lightheaded so it’s not surprising women appeared to suffer from indifferent health. A corset is designed to fit around the torso to shape it to the desired fashion. There is a whisper that the body shaper one day will be available for men.
During the Edwardian period at the beginning of the 1900’s the Victorian style was replaced by the new look shaped profile. The bosom was raised and large, the waist small with a large bustle at the back to create a completely unrealistic female shape. The front of the skirt went straight down to the feet and there were many flounces tiered down from the back often with trains for formal occasions which had to be picked up and held whilst walking or dancing. Later to build on this shape, leg-o-mutton sleeves were added for day wear; although for evenings low necklines and short capped sleeves were the norm. These elaborate dresses cost thousands of pounds in today’s money so that again only the prosperous could dress in this way. The average woman had to make do with home-made copies or just plain gather skirts and plain bodices.During periods when there was a shortage of women, probably due to hard work and having too many children, the men became the most fashion conscious and dressed in bright colours to attract the females, while the women wore dowdy colours and wore the hair pulled back and plain.
What is Wrong with our Natural Shape?
When you see the pictures by Degas of ladies bathing you will see that they are well rounded with tummies, big bottoms and legs probably with cellulite and well developed breasts. Very few of the women would be under a UK size 16. They still wore stays but mostly I suspect it was to support the breasts rather than reduce the thighs and hips. Gok in his TV programme ‘How to Look Good Naked’ encourages women to be positive about their bodies and focuses on choosing the right clothes to accentuate their best features. His success lies in the fact that after they have gone through this transformation, the women all feel much more confident and happy with the way they are.
However choosing the right foundation garments is essential to improve posture and create a smooth line to provide a good basis to make the most of the clothes that are placed on top.Women were designed the way they are for a reason, why should we go to so much trouble to change what is natural?
Modern Control Wear - What Spanx can do for you
Modern control wear offers women the option of support and clean lines, without the restriction of movement experienced with the old fashioned corset. Spanx power panties seem to be the latest rage in control wear these days. I have not actually had the pleasure myself but I remember a friend saying to me last year ‘Power Panties are wonderful’. Old fashioned corsets are still worn by some people but gradually as the younger generation feel the need for some form of support they are looking to the more modern control wear used by celebrities such as Gwenyth Paltrow, Oprah Winfrey, Kylie Minogue and even Madonna. Sarah Blakely the founder of Spanx could not find footless pantyhose to go with her cream trouser and open toed shoes. In her frustration she set out to tackle the 2 billion dollar hosiery industry. Within 2 years she had perfected a product that combined all the elements women love about underwear and changing all the elements they don’t like to provide a comfortable slim-line look with no VPL (Visible Panty Line). She started an underwear revolution selling 50,000 of her Power Panties in the first three months and revolutionised an industry that was in a ten year slump.
Basques - Corsets on the Outside
In the more recent years of control wear there appeared a fashion accessory modelled on the old fashioned style corset but worn on the outside of the clothing. It seemed designed to show off the slim torso and enhance the breasts by lifting them. These were usually worn over a flimsy blouse type top, and were fashionable over the Christmas party period. The bodice was boned and came to a point at the front just below the waist. It could be worn with a skirt or even over trousers. Basques are a popular garment for the gothic look and are also sold in shops dealing with erotica. You can have Spanxs fishnet tights combined with control panty that slim your tummy, thighs and rear.
This model of corset is still available as underwear and is known as a ‘corset basque’ or a ‘busk’ and is reminiscent of the dress bodices seen in cowboy films worn by ‘the heart of gold’ hostess at the town’s hotel saloon. They are boned and shaped to create the traditional hour glass figure and are similar to the Victorian corset. Some are laced at the back but with no maids, very difficult to do up. There are high cut legs and longer lines, often with suspenders so create that popular striper-gram look. The Basque corset is often seen in shops selling erotica or Gothic fashions.
Some essential points to consider when wearing control wear are:- uplifting pants will firm the bottom; Padded bra’s will enhance the breasts; a padded plunge gives a great cleavage; corsets and waist nippers will take inches off the waist but most importantly, if flesh should escape at waist or thigh it means your control wear is too tight.A good basic outline will enhance any clothes that are worn whatever the occasion.
Conclusion
When you look at the history of fashion it seems that women are never satisfied with the shape they were born with. Today more than in any other time in history we are allowed to have a more normal shape, but even that has to be contained, smoothed, uplifted or cinched to make the female body more than perfect.There are now several programmes on TV which are promoting the message that natural is good and we are fine the way we are. A little augmentation here and there to make the most of the assets you have is as much as you need to do. It is reported that men in general prefer women to look real which for them is sexier than the extravaganza women think men want. Obviously they have their preferences for type and size and shape, but we can’t be all things to all men and the sooner women realise that, the more comfortable they are going to be.
Since the appearance of Power Pants control wear lingerie has been transformed. Sarah Blakely has been described as the Pied Piper of the ‘wobbly bits brigade’ and her success has reached £250 million in global sales in the last year. Her products have become ‘the control wear to have’ and are worn by all the ‘best people’. There is a stigma for men wearing control wear so that they will not go out and buy such an item but wives and girlfriends are doing it for them. Manx the male version of Spanx is available on line and is promoted as a back support while playing golf, being good for posture and long car journeys.
At the end of the day we all want to look our best and if that means wearing a control wear garment that is what people will do. People both men and women want to be liked and admired and all the fashion contortions are just to fulfil our dreams of being the chosen one, the most beautiful or most popular. So however much we might like to believe we don’t need these devices, we all pay homage to them in one way or another.
