P&G's Hottest New Product: P&G
At Washington State's Clark County Fair last month, coffee lovers got a front-row seat at a corporate revolution in the making. The local sales force for Procter & Gamble Co. was out in force at the Pancake Feed, distributing samples of P&G's Millstone Coffee. To the amazement of the Fred Meyer supermarket employees running the pancake breakfast, the Procter reps worked the crowd, chatting with customers, even taking turns in the full-size coffee-maker costume with the cup-and-saucer hat. "You don't generally see them out there doing that kind of grassroots work with customers," says Jeanne Lawson, a Fred Meyer buyer. Procter is better known for serving up advertising dollars and display-design tips, she says. "I'd never seen anything like it."
But then, P&G has never needed ordinary customers quite so badly. Battered by disappointing revenue growth and demanding retail customers, Procter & Gamble is a company in a bind. Two years ago, its executives boldly declared that the consumer-products giant would double its net sales by 2006, to $70 billion. P&G has consistently missed its growth targets ever since. Olestra, the company's high-profile fat substitute, more than a decade in development, is showing weak sales. And global economic turmoil is crimping overseas operations. Shares have dropped from $94 apiece in July to $70. The behemoth so used to leading the pack is looking lost.
So P&G, a company notorious for secrecy, has set itself on a remarkably outward-looking self-improvement plan. Breaking from decades of tradition, it has sought external advice. It is undergoing a structural shift prompted at least in part by outsiders--namely, its big chain-store customers. And it is already rolling out an aggressive global marketing blitz, from working the fairgrounds to marshaling the Internet.
Chief Executive John E. Pepper will step down about two years early to make way for President and Chief Operating Officer Durk I. Jager, who will drive the changes. It's a shift away from internal themes of recent years in which Procter focused heavily on such tasks as cost-cutting and shedding underperforming brands. But even as the giant revs its engines to push for faster sales growth, critics wonder if it can overcome both economic turmoil around the world and what will surely be cultural turmoil within its own ranks. "This is a very big deal, for Procter and for all the companies that watch Procter's moves," says Watts Wacker, chairman of consulting firm FirstMatter in Westport, Conn. "But great plans often come with great obstacles."
SIMPLIFY, SIMPLIFY. In preparation for the task, Pepper and other top execs have been traversing the country, visiting the CEOs of a dozen major companies, including Kellogg Co. and 3M, in search of advice. Pepper went to Jack Welch at General Electric Co. to learn how the company streamlined global marketing. He persuaded Hewlett-Packard Co. CEO Lewis E. Platt to share enough secrets about new-product development to make a 30-minute instructional video for P&G staffers. The message from all was clear, says Pepper: "What thousands of people have been telling us is that we need to be simpler and move faster."
The result of this unprecedented road trip is Organization 2005, a shuffling of the P&G hierarchy and a new product-development process designed to speed innovative offerings to the global market. The old bureaucracy, based on geography, will be reshaped into seven global business units organized by category, such as baby care, beauty care, and fabric-and-home care. The global business units will develop and sell products on a worldwide basis, erasing the old system that let Procter's country managers rule as colonial governors, setting prices and handling products as they saw fit.
SWIFT ROLLOUT. This new global vision has already had an accidental test run. Last year, P&G introduced an extension of its Pantene shampoo line. The ad campaign for the product was almost entirely visual, with images of beautiful women and their lustrous hair, and had a very limited script. That meant the campaign was easily translated and shipped to P&G markets around the world without the usual months of testing and tinkering. The result: P&G was able to introduce the brand extension in 14 countries in six months, vs. the two years it took to get the original shampoo into stores abroad. "It's a success story that gets quite a bit of talk internally," says Chris T. Allen, a marketing professor at the University of Cincinnati, who spent his sabbatical year working in the P&G new-products department. "I see the reorganization as an attempt to do more Pantenes on a regular basis."
P&G didn't come to this global focus entirely on its own. Its biggest chain-store customers, such as Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and French-owned Carrefour, have been agitating for just such a program to mirror their own global expansion. It has been Topic A at retail conventions for months, says Robin Lanier, senior vice-president for industry affairs at the International Mass Retail Assn. While P&G craves an international image for its products, retailers want something more tangible: a global price. As it stands, prices are negotiable on a country or regional basis. What an international retailer pays for Crest in the U.S. could be considerably less than what it costs the chain in Europe or Latin America. A consistent global price gives big chains more power to plan efficiently and save money. Wal-Mart Chief Executive David D. Glass describes his company's goal as "global sourcing," which includes worldwide relationships on pricing and distribution. Moving P&G products from regional to global management is "pointing somewhat in that direction," Glass says.
In addition to marketing and pricing, global business units will supervise new-product development. P&G will move away from its long-used "sequential" method, which tested products first in midsize U.S. cities and then gradually rolled them out to the world. An example: Swiffer, a new disposable mop designed by P&G, is being tested simultaneously in Cedar Rapids, Iowa; Pittsfield, Mass.; and Sens, France, in hopes of sculpting a globally popular product right out of the box.
Jager concedes that it won't be a quick fix. The new regime won't start until January and won't really be functioning for about 18 to 24 months. He expects to see some top-line growth improvement within 12 to 16 months, with obviously better results two years out. Many observers doubt that will be fast enough to make the 2006 deadline. "[The plan] seems to work on paper, but it requires an accelerated sales growth in the final four years," says Constance M. Maneaty, an analyst at Bear, Stearns & Co. "We haven't seen that kind of sales growth from them in a while."
Even if P&G could implement its strategy more quickly, it would still run into the ugly realities of global economic markets. For its extra $35 billion in revenues through 2006, Procter is counting on about $8 billion from emerging markets in Eastern Europe, China, and Latin America, says Clayton C. Daley Jr., P&G's treasurer, who becomes chief financial officer in October. Yet Asian emerging markets are likely to remain mired in deep economic slumps for at least two more years. Recent turmoil in Russia, which was a bright prospect for Procter just a year ago, has gotten so bad that the company has temporarily halted shipments there. "Growing in underdeveloped geographies is clearly questionable," says Jay Freedman, an analyst at Lincoln Capital, a big institutional holder of Procter & Gamble stock. "Whatever they thought the purchasing power of those new customers was going to be is less now."
"A LOT OF EX-CHIEFS." Procter has additional obstacles closer to home. How, for example, will tradition-bound P&G managers react to the new hierarchy? "You're going from 144 chiefs to 8. That's a lot of ex-chiefs," says consultant Wacker. And everyone will be affected by the change in tone that is sure to come from the corner office. Gentlemanly Pepper, 60, will be succeeded by Jager, a Dutch-born P&G lifer with a reputation for aggressive moves and abrasiveness. In the 1980s, he turned around Procter's failing Japanese business with such a fury that his Japanese managers called him "Crazy Man Durk" behind his back.
Crazy or no, Jager is sticking to the 2006 target date. He's wasting no time stepping into his new role as champion of the global focus: Already, even before taking on the official title of CEO, he has started preaching the new structure to P&G managers. After all, the clock is ticking.

FCC Pressures FAA to Allow Greater Use of Mobile Devices During Flights

FCC pledges to help the FAA in the review
Everyone knows that electronics we commonly use such as smartphones, tablets, and digital readers don't really interfere with the electronics inside an aircraft. This fact was proven accurate when
some airlines began issuing pilots iPads containing manuals
and other content with approvals to use them during any aspect of flight.
Despite the fact that the pilot in the cockpit can use his or her iPad during takeoff, flight, and landings, passengers in the back of the plane had to turn off all of their devices until the aircraft reached cruising altitude. The FCC is now pressuring the FAA to allow greater use of electronic devices during flights. FCC Chairman Julius Genachkowski recently called on the FAA to "enable greater use of tablets, E-readers, and other portable devices" during flights.
Considering that these devices are already approved for use while aircraft are at a safe cruising altitude, it only makes sense that the expanded usage privileges would extend to takeoff and landing as well.

The FAA previously launched a
study group
to review policies on in-flight use of electronic devices. However, the study did note that the FAA was not considering allowing voice communications during flights on smartphones and other mobile devices.
"This review comes at a time of tremendous innovation, as mobile devices are increasingly interwoven in our daily lives," Genachowski writes. "They empower people to stay informed and connected with friends and family, and they enable both large and small businesses to be more productive and efficient, helping drive economic growth and boost U.S. competitiveness."
Genachowski placed in the letter that the FCC would work with the FAA, airlines, and device manufacturers during the review.

Here are some results from the study that show the range and disparity of sleep problems among these different populations:
- India and Indonesia reported the lowest rates of sleep problems—6.5% of Indian women and 4.3% of Indian men reported difficulty with sleep, and 4.6% of Indonesian women and 3.9% of Indonesian men reported sleep problems.
- Rates in Vietnam were significantly higher: 37.6% of Vietnamese women reported sleep problems, compared to 28.5% of Vietnamese men.
- In South Africa, 31.3% of women and 27.2% of men reported difficulty with sleep. These rates are substantially higher than other African countries included in the study. Overall rates of sleep problems in the remaining African nations of Tanzania, Ghana and Kenya ranged between 8.3% and 12.7%.
- Bangladesh has the highest rates of overall sleep problems among the nations included in this study, driven largely by its exceptionally high rate of sleep difficulty among women. More than 40% of Bangladeshi women reported having problems sleeping, compared to 23.6% of Bangladeshi men.

Nintendo has reminded us once again through their new games at E3 that cooperative play is one of the most engaging and rewarding options to provide players. Developers are creating titles with accessible gameplay for the everyday gamer, but also leaving room for deep advanced strategies. While some tournament players believe that games should offer more depth to further push the skill ceiling and raise the standard of competition, I believe that accounting for new players through design is even more helpful to simultaneously grow the tournament scene. Nintendo has a storied history of making games which reward hard work but are still simple and fun to play, giving the player the power to explore each title as they see fit. In order to get to the level where you want to challenge yourself at the game, you must first be inspired to replay it. Creating a game that is fun above all else is essential to building the fanbase for it to thrive on–multiplayer support is a huge part of this. Games that can reach out to both the recreational and dedicated audiences of gamers have enormous potential to become mainstream competition crafts.
Multiplayer titles that engage new players are vital to retaining long term interest in learning the complexities of the game. The presence of these complexities offers something more for players who seek to push games to their limits and cultivate their skills. By having the option available to casually enjoy a playthrough or explore the intricacies of the game, you provide players with a much more complete and enriching experience. Recently, a massive surge of interest in the competitive tournament scenes for many multiplayer titles has given birth to the phenomenon of \"eSports,\" or \"electronic sports,\" which draws the comparison of competitive gaming to mainstream traditional sports. Developers are being challenged to successfully reach both audiences–the task of trying to appease the competitive crowd without alienating the larger group of fresh players is difficult, but entirely possible. Nintendo has consistently managed to strike a balance between both sides, and I believe the following titles shown at E3 have achieved a successful blend of recreational enjoyment with room for technical flair that perfectly captures the multiplayer experience.
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS
Smash is built on its ability to bring people together and play in a variety of ways. It has always been the wildcard in the fighting game genre because of the series\' unique mix of accessibility and depth. The controls are not intimidating and the characters are all household names in gaming, so it\'s easy to figure out as you practice and feel good about progressing through it. A beautiful part of Smash is that the simple controls which give new players a feel for the game also open room to technical skill because of the precise control they feature. The progressively deep fighting engine thus facilitates the players desire to improve while giving room to those who wish to battle in more recreational matches. A defining feature of Super Smash Bros. is that the user has the freedom to play with whatever rules and settings they want, with the focal point being able to play with others. As a result, no match feels the same, and the experience is always exciting–you keep wanting to play versus someone else.
This kind of engaging experience is essential to retaining players and promotes competitive interest. Since the game is fresh and dynamic you want to challenger yourself further and further. The new Smash has achieved a fantastic balance between it\'s intricate options and simple design. The characters all have unique movesets and compliment wide range of playstyles. Whether through the newly built versus mode Smash Run, Free For All Battles, Team Fights, or Singles Competitions–the game remains rewarding to play.
Splatoon has emerged into the gaming world by offering an incredibly unique multiplayer experience. Players square off in 4v4 Team Battles with the objective of victory focused on map control. This domination mode is very simple to play: paint the floor as much as possible to control territory while avoiding being taken down by enemies. Splatoon thrives however off it\'s movement mechanics which allow players to switch between Human Paintballers and slippery Squids. These transformations give players the power to apply considerable diversity to maneuver and attack the battlefield with the press of a button. In addition, team battles promote cooperative strategies and reward players who work well together.

Classical June Jewelry Gifts – for the 'Oil Paintings' in Your Life!
If you're much like me, you could probably say that you're 'no oil painting' ! That's completely fine – everybody has something to set them apart from everyone else, and real beauty is on the inside. However, you may have a friend that really can be described as a Michelangelo, in every sense! Real looking, but absolutely classical. Jewelry makes a great gift for these gorgeous, beautifully groomed men and women … but what pieces to get? We have a look at some of our new faves for classical jewelry gifts.
When we are looking for classical style jewelry, we try to find clean, uncluttered and uncomplicated lines. We look for a combination of only two or three elements, as well as an antique or traditional bias in the stones and metals used.
The signity range has been especially popular lately- its sleek lines have the ability to make any gem look like it is worth a million dollars. The amethyst signity ring at the beginning of the article has the deep royal and classical purple colored stones set in clean white gold. The band is a nice middling 4mm wide, and one of the most convenient features of this particular ring is the fact that the design is especially easy to resize. If you'd rather keep your classical June birthday gift a secret (and then give them a joyful heart attack on the day!), signity rings are a great choice.
If you travel a little further back through the stylistic time warp, you'll find jewelry pieces like the unique silver and 18ct earrings at right the echo the intricate architecture of times well before what we'd recognize as civilization … the swirls and curlicues remind us of Roman entrance ways and Phoenician royalty! The half hoop style is comfortable and light, and the earrings themselves are a mid-sized 20mm long. The gold used is 18ct yellow gold, set on sterling silver.
The combination of silver and gold really takes you back – people were not always as affluent as they are now, and making things completely from gold was almost unheard of! Gold accents were a favored way to add a bit of class. It is not only the gold accents that lift this Citizen Eco-Drive ladies watch out of the realms of the ordinary, into those of the classical, but also the 24 sparkling genuine diamonds set along the sides of the bezel. The dial is mother of pearl, in homage to the June birthstone (which is the actual pearl!). It incorporates Citizen Eco-Drive technology (no need to change batteries), and comes with a generous 5 year manufacturer's warranty. The most impressive feature though, is a 40% discount off recommended retail price currently!
Citizen is actually well-known for their classical style in timekeeping, combined with state of the art behind the scenes technology. They also have some beautiful classical gifts for men this June – the mutli-dial men's watch shown is a new model. While it doesn't have the bells and whistles of some watches, it is expertly constructed, comes with an additional calendar function and is water resistant to 100m. So despite its appearance, it is safe to take swimming! There is a 3 year warranty and free shipping on this product, as well as a great discount off RRP.
Titanium may be a fairly recent addition to the jewelry scene, but the range of titanium rings in store has one of the most classical personalities of any of our ranges. The polished Nova 6.5mm titanium and gold ring at right is a lovely example, and comes with a good selection of the customization options for titanium rings. For classical men this June, you'll probably want to order it pretty close to the way it is pictured, but you do have a choice of titanium color, gold stripe color, band width as well as ring size, depth of satin finish on the band, as well as the option to engrave a message inside.
We also had the pleasure of welcoming a new range into the store this month that has expanded your options for classical birthday gifts enormously – the Pandora Mix n Match earring range. Pandora is famous for the personalizability of their jewelry, and they've now extended the concept to their earrings! You choose a hook style and an attachment style to suit you, with the attachments sliding simply onto the hooks before you put them on.
The carnelian attachments at right show Pandora' skill in combining unusual and traditional style gems into gorgeous jewelry for a modern age. Carnelian isn't often seen nowadays – but it certainly has a classical feel! These attachments are set on sterling silver and measure 1.7cm in length.
In a similar style, but with a classical type of stone that creates a completely different feel, are the chalcedony earrings at right. The chalcedony stone is a similar size to the piece of carnelian in the previous attachments, but set in a sweet cradle of sterling silver that takes the total length out to around 2.5cm. For either of the attachments shown at right, we love the flower hooks below them … although there are around ten different styles of hook altogether.
Then, as we were on our way out of the Pandora Mix n Match door, we found some eclectically elegant citrine hoop earring attachments that we simply couldn't leave out of this month's classical list! With their clean lines and simple style, they are the perfect evening wear choice for classical chicks. The hoop is around 2.9cm in diameter, and you can get this style with black onyx stones also.
With the addition of a few new ranges and products this month, the selection of classical style jewelry in store at the moment is exciting and amazing! If you haven't found the perfect piece, keep browsing now in either the gift ideas for women, gift ideas for men, or the Pandora Mix n Match earrings categories. Look for simple styles, clean lines and traditional gems and you are halfway to a winning birthday gift!

Just signed into my online checking account and discovered a $30 'electronic generated check' stating no signature required and charged my account. Had to close account, file fraud dispute and file complaint with Washington Attorney General. OTHER Readers...please notify your state's Attorney General office, they have an online complaint form and is really the only way to stop these scammers as they will stop them from being able to lend, and thus stop them from charging your account in your state.
I tried to call their customer service and couldn't speak to a person, then upon further search discovered another phone number where i was told that I could call my bank and issue a "Stop Payment" on the check, but that would cost me $35-45 and would therefore be MORE than the $30 they had already charged me to try to keep me from knowing that I could DISPUTE the charge at no cost and trying to further their theft and scam. They've even calculated their $30 rip off amount on an amount that's less than the national average for "Stop Payment" charges by the bank to try to keep customers from reporting them.
On top of that, they sell your information to 100's of lenders. I began getting calls from 8am - 7pm, for 3 days, non stop and finally had to change my phone number. All of them with middle eastern accents, probably at a call center in India, and have no idea what is even happening as most countries don't have the same type of banking system, credit bureaus etc that we do.

Reviews for Cheese-Topped Meat Loaves
"I have had many disasterous episodes making meatloaves. This by far, is the best recipe ever for that. I double the batch for a family of 4, bake it in the oven at 350 for 30 min, like a previous poster stated, and it comes out fabulous! Everyone loves it! It's definatly a regular in our house"
"I was skeptical at first, not too sure about microwaved beef, however, this was fantabulous!! I made the first two in the micro and threw the rest in the oven, b/c i knew this wasnt going to work out. But the two in the microwave were awesome, I will definitely make these again!! OH and I followed the recipe exactly and they were done in exactly 6 minutes!"
"I baked a double batch in the oven at 350 for 30 mins and it turned out great."
"I made this recipe yesterday and it was so easy and tasted soooo good. I made severl to give to friends to make. will make this again and again. I see why it won a contest."
"Really don't like meat cooked in the microwave.Could this be cooked in the oven?"
"My bride of 46 years contacted pneumonia so I had to pitch in and make the diners for awhile. This was well enjoyed by my bride and myself and I will surely make it again. I would however add Garlic."
"Cheese topped meat loaves are simple and easy to make and make an awesome simple dinner for our family. We tend to make these whenever we have all the ingredients and don't waste time making them too large. They're a keeper and going in my recipe box."

NEW YORK (rushPRnews) 10/26/09 — According to many industry experts, spam, viruses, hackers, and a host of malware could be coming to your smartphone soon. With the huge rise in popularity of the iPhone, Blackberry, Palm, and other devices, smartphones are quickly becoming an attractive target for spammers and hackers.
According to CNN.com, worldwide smartphone sales have increased by 13.9% in the last two years. Furthermore, where once smartphones were used primarily for voice calls, text messages, and emails, today an increasing number of users freely surf the web, download, pay bills, and more from their devices.
User behavior is falling inline with the PC, without, for the most part, the same security precautions.
So, the same bugs that we are used to seeing, and protecting ourselves from, on our desk and laptops are likely to soon be found on our phones, along with some device-specific bugs.
However, amongst the doom and gloom, there is some good news. It is, overall, more difficult to launch a large-scale, widespread, smartphone attack. Unlike a PC, which runs primarily on the Windows operating system, each smartphone operates on its own system. As well, unlike email addresses, there is no large database of phone numbers, never mind smartphone numbers, available to spammers.
To date, the biggest threat remains theft. But, as users use their device to do more, there is not only more personal data that can be gathered from the device, but also more valuable data available.
Therefore, most experts advise, security measures should be taken to protect your personal data—passwords, security updates, and careful consideration of how you use your smartphone. Smartphones should be looked after like a computer, not a phone.

WESTBROOK, CONN., Monday—The front-page stories in one of our metropolitan newspapers the other day showed what a world of conflict we now live in.
In Moscow, Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov had refused to consider an agreement on the Saar until his proposal on four-power rule for the Ruhr was settled. In another column was an account of a speech made in London by Henry Wallace, in which he voiced his apprehension over the policy of lending money to anti-Soviet states just because they are anti-Soviet states rather than because they need money for rehabilitation. Right next to that article was an accusation by a Democratic Senator that Mr. Wallace, by voicing these sentiments abroad, was hurting his country's prestige. At home, the phone strike continued, the coal mines were slowly beginning to reopen, and the wisdom of certain Government loans to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad was being questioned by the Republicans in a Senate committee.
This all looks like a good deal of dissension and more dissension, and yet it is part of the freedom under which we in the United States think the world should operate. When the right to strike is curbed, our free and independent citizens strike all the more readily; and when John L. Lewis is taken to task for his behavior, he tries to find some way of getting back at those who took him to task and turns against the people in general.
* * *
To me, some of us seem to be losing sight of certain vital things. What does it matter now whether the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad got a bigger loan than it should have had? It was done to win the war and we won the war.
And Mr. Wallace is entitled to his opinion. It is good for every citizen to realize that the responsibility for helping to rehabilitate countries throughout the world is going to be heavy for us, since we are the only people who can bear the main burden. In the end, it is to our interest that these countries should be rehabilitated. The discussion of how we shall do it is a perfectly good discussion for people in this country to engage in, and will probably be helpful to the Administration in the long run.
Someone said to me the other day that it was impossible to give wheat to the starving people of Poland and Yugoslavia because not enough wheat could be found in the world. We had again underestimated the world need and therefore we had not processed potatoes last summer when they should have been processed, so we could not supplement wheat with dehydrated potatoes. There is only one alternative in that case. That is to make a plea to people in countries like our own, where they are eating better than ever before, to curtail the amount of wheat products they use and to divert this essential foodstuff to the nations that will starve between now and July if we do not do so. Nobody, as far as I know, is asking the people of the different nations to do this.
Mr. Molotov seems to me unwise in his insistence on his own method of procedure. He probably thinks he has a better chance to bargain if he works along his own lines, but he forgets that he may annoy his opponents to the point where nothing he suggests will be considered.
It is time we learned at home and abroad to think about agreement and to stop so much dissension.

Admission Counselor
Hayley is lucky to have spent her entire life in sunny Southern California. That is, aside from the five years she spent freezing in Philadelphia, PA at Bryn Mawr College. After graduating in 2015 as a sociology major, she stayed on to pursue her Master of Social Work degree from Bryn Mawr's Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research. During college, Hayley had the opportunity to leave the country for the first time. Bitten by the travel bug, the list of destinations she's visited now include: Singapore, Cambodia, Copenhagen and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba! While at Bryn Mawr, Hayley was surrounded by extraordinary women who pushed her to become a strong advocate against social inequity and injustice. Working towards this goal, she co-founded a reading and writing group for local incarcerated women. She also helped launch a new group for first-generation students, faculty and staff on campus called First-Goers. Now that she's out of college, Hayley has discovered this new "free time" thing, which she likes to spend doing Pilates, completing her goal of seeing every National Park, and baking cookies for her side gig, Baking Bad!

Without that phrase, Buffer might be just another sonorous-voiced ringside presenter. Lilian Garcia performs the same job as ring announcer for World Wrestling Entertainment, but she dont need no stinkin catch phrases. Not only is Garcia a smokin-hot mamacita, but also shes a singer of note who has performed the National Anthem at all kinds of big-ticket events, including the 1996 Summer Olympics and the Macys Thanksgiving Day Parade. Shes one of only two singers to perform the opening song at WrestleMania more than once. The other? Aretha Franklin. Talk about being in good company.
Anthems aside, Garcias true passion stems from her Spanish heritage. Her debut album, ¡Quiero Vivir!, features a duet with local luminary Jon Secada. Miami WWE fans will flip today when Garcia hosts a CD signing at Best Buy.

The Silk Stocking Murders (1928)
by Anthony Berkeley
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Self-satisfied amateur detective Roger Sheringham did not exactly cover himself with glory during his previous outing, Roger Sheringham And The Vane Mystery, but here Anthony Berkeley allows him to redeem himself---albeit in his own inimitable way, one not always easy for the reader to take. In his capacity of crime expert on a London paper, Roger is contacted by a distressed vicar, who tells him that after moving to London to find work, his daughter, a steady, reliable girl, has ceased to contact her family. Looking into the matter as requested, Roger discovers to his dismay that the girl has committed suicide, hanging herself with her own stocking. When a second girl kills herself the same way, Roger is surprised but happy enough to get an article about "suggestibility" out of it; but when a third young woman dies, he is convinced that these are not suicides, but murders... The Silk Stocking Murders is a creepy, uncomfortable book, which lingers on the details of the women's deaths, including their more fetishistic aspects: most notably, the stocking in each case is one the victim was wearing, such that she is found with one stocking on and one bare leg. There is also unusual emphasis, for this period, upon the subsequent condition of the bodies - Roger is allowed to look on during the police surgeon's initial examination of one of the murdered girls - and it is fairly frank about the sexual underpinnings of the crimes. Moreover, exposing the killer ultimately requires a re-enactment of the deaths---complete with a live model... As he begins to look into the first three deaths - and there will be others before the case is closed - what strikes Roger is the lack of motive for suicide: the vicar's daughter, for instance, found a good job; while another of the young women was on the verge of marriage. After realising that the police are not satisfied either, Roger puts aside his hurt feelings from their previous collaboration and teams up once again with Inspector Morseby to look into the deaths; but it is the amateur trio that he forms with the sister of the first victim and the fiancé of the third that begins to make headway. Although one of the victims is (we gather) a prostitute, the others would not have let a stranger into their rooms---which implies not just that that the killer is someone the victims knew, but that he knew all of them. By comparing lists of friends and acquaintances, Roger and his collaborators find three names into common, three prime suspects---which presents Roger with something of a moral dilemma, since one of them - the one on whom the police are focusing - happens to be a friend of his, too...
Roger had seen plenty of violent death during his service in France during the war, but dead men are different from dead girls, and girls dead through slow strangulation different from any others. He shuddered in spite of his efforts to control himself as his gaze rested on the distorted face. She may have been pretty in life, but she certainly was not pretty in death. By her sides lay her hands, tightly clenched.
She was a small girl, not much more than five feet in height and slightly built, and she was dressed in her underclothes only, with a light-coloured silk stocking on one leg; the other stocking still lay, though now loosely, round her neck...
An entertaining mystery ruined by anti-Semitism.

Through this time, you'd see it much easier to center, your stamina degree would increase, digestion would increase, and overall, you'd actually feel much better since you are far better.
One other facet of the ultimate Reset which is extraordinary to other courses is the fact detoxing is broken down into 3 targeted phases. Using this, the human body is encouraged to detoxify a lot more effortlessly, which all over again is mild but very highly highly effective. These phases consist of reclamation and rebalance, the discharge of unsafe toxic compounds, and restoration within the system in general. The outcome soon after completing this program can be a greater you.
