ViSalus Sciences receives Turn Around award at the DSN Global 100 in Dallas, Texasalt

ViSalus Sciences was honored at Industry-wide event hosted by the Direct Selling News for its outstanding financial performance in 2010.

 

LOS ANGELES, CA—April 28, 2011—Representatives from the top 100 direct selling companies worldwide gathered on April 27th in Dallas, Texas for the annual DSN Global 100 banquet to hear industry leaders and special guest speakers, and to celebrate the financial achievements of 2010. The Global 100 is a comprehensive ranking system created by the Direct Selling News to honor the efforts of the most successful direct selling companies across the world, while bringing more transparency into the industry through research and recognition.

 

Three special awards, named the Bravo Awards, were given out at the banquet to direct selling companies that showed outstanding achievement in these categories: Growth, Turn Around, and Leadership.

 

The Publisher and Editor in Chief of Direct Selling News, John T. Fleming, said, “The turn around award is the most important of the three because, like in any other industry, we lose companies. When a company that was struggling shows that it is now growing and thriving, it means that thousands of distributors and customers are able to do business again. And that is crucial to our industry.”

 

To accept the award, CEO of ViSalus Sciences Ryan Blair, got on stage along with members of the ViSalus management team and addressed the 500 banquet attendees.

 

alt“On behalf of the entire ViSalus community, we accept this award with great honor. May it serve as a reminder to every entrepreneur that giving up is not an option, and that even a “Great Recession” can be beat if you put your heart into your business.”  

 

“Every ViSalus distributor that joined us in our Body by Vi 90-Day Challenge should credit themselves with this accomplishment,” said Blair.

 

ViSalus CEO Ryan Blair delivered two addresses from stage, along with speakers such as Gary Vaynerchuck, Shawn Achor, and John Maxwell. The DSN Global 100 is part of the Video Plus University and Success University event, featuring top executives from the industry’s leading companies. The Global 100, which is in its second year, was attended by representatives from companies with a total value of $39 billion dollars combined, and a complete total of $95 billion dollars overall for the top 100 list in its entirety.

The child nutrition bill 'won’t just save money, it will save lives,' Michelle Obama says.

 

First lady Michelle Obama plans to warn in remarks Monday that the nation is seeing “a groundswell of support” for curbing childhood obesity, and she is unveiling new ammunition from current and retired military leaders.

Michelle Obama“Military leaders … tell us that when more than one in four young people are unqualified for military service because of their weight,” the first lady says in the prepared remarks, “childhood obesity isn’t just a public health threat, it’s not just an economic threat, it’s a national security threat as well."  The first lady and President Barack Obama are making a rare joint speaking appearance on Monday, at Harriet Tubman Elementary School in Northwest D.C.’s Columbia Heights neighborhood, as he signs into law the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010.

From the first lady’s prepared remarks:

“We can all agree that here in the wealthiest nation on earth, all children should have the basic nutrition they need to learn and grow and pursue their dreams. Because in the end, nothing is more important than the health and well-being of our children, ... and our hopes for their future should drive every decision we make. These are the basic values that we all share. They’re the values that this bill embodies. And that’s why we’ve seen such a groundswell of support for these efforts — not just from members of Congress here in Washington but from folks in every corner of the country.

“From educators working to provide healthier school meals, because they know the connection between proper nutrition and academic performance. From doctors and nurses who know that unhealthy kids grow into unhealthy adults — at risk for obesity-related diseases like diabetes, heart disease and cancer. From business and labor leaders who know that we spend nearly $150 billion a year to treat these diseases and worry about the impact on our economy. From advocates and faith leaders who know that school meals are vital for combating child hunger, feeding more than 31 million children a day.

"Flat Belly" Acai Berry Diet Exposed: Miracle Diet or Scam?

(News 7) Acai berries are the latest weight loss fad. These so called Super Foods that you take as a supplement to lose weight have been getting a lot of international attention. And like you have probably already seen; they are all over the internet in blogs and success stories of people who have apparently used the pills and lost 7 - 10lbs in just a week. But we here at News Report 7 are a little skeptical and aren‘t sure that we've seen any real proof that these pills work for weight loss. So we decided to put these products to the test. What better way to find out the truth than to conduct our own study?

To get started, I volunteered to be the guinea pig. I applied for a bottle of the Acai Max Cleanse. While there are ton of acai berry ads online, Acai Max Cleanse is one of the most credible and trustworthy suppliers on the market. It included the free trial of the product and it did not try to fool me into agreeing to additional hidden offers. Another reason why I chose Acai Max Cleanse is because it is the most concentrated and purest products on the market. This would give me the most accurate results for my test.
