China Watch Blog would like to share with readers its own family’s experience with the use of this product – Body Rejuvenator – which is sold only in the USA and European Union, but imported by yours truly to Hong Kong. Yours truly found that the product really helps people improve their memory, especially people suffering from Alzheimer’s diseases – although the producer of this stuff does not make this claim in promoting this product.

At the website, readers will find out that the product is used to help people with unbalanced blood sugars which are causing some of the most serious challenges in today’s world -from energy slumps to stress, to mood swings to degenerative diseases, including Type I and Type II Diabetes.

The Body Rejuvenator claims to help people with these problems, and I think it does! Since everyone has sugar in their blood (and most people have too much) practically everyone can benefit from this powerful elixir.

Millions of people today are living fatigued lives, because their blood sugars are too high. Only they don’t realize that’s the reason. Fortunately their condition may not have progressed to diabetes or some other degenerative disease, but their health has been severely compromised anyway. It’s so simple to begin balancing these sugars. Just one ounce a day of this great tasting body rejuvenating elixir may be all you need.

Addiction to sweet food could also lead to the conditions stated above, so be moderate in what you eat. You are what you eat basically.

China Watch Blog has learnt that KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has announced its unique 24-hour service to social media. Starting at 12:00 noon and extending late into the evening, 450 volunteers based in a KLM hangar will provide live replies to questions appearing on Facebook, Twitter and Hyves.

KLM does it again!

Live Reply involves the deployment of 450 KLM volunteers, working in three shifts, who will answer Tweets, Facebook posts, or Hyves ‘scraps’ using just 140 characters. It is just one more way for KLM to show how it meets the needs of its customers — up close and personal.

“Today’s campaign should show, in a special — and, more important, personal way — that we’re willing to go the extra mile for our customers,” says Martijn van der Zee, SVP

E-commerce AF KLM. “KLM has been extremely active in social media since the spring of 2010. We can’t imagine communication with our customers without social media anymore.”

KLM believes it is important to let everyone know about the service that KLM offers in social media — hence this announcement. Using the social media, KLM will answer every customer message personally within one hour, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

‘Followers’ and ‘friends’ can reach KLM through the social media, whether in Dutch or English, and ask anything that has to do with their travel or tickets. And KLM will inform its followers about the latest KLM news and any interesting campaigns.

For those who are thinking of using social media for networking and interacting with your customers, this is one of the ways to do it.

China Watch Blog has learnt that Nevada will host 18 contestants from all over the world who are competing in the Miss Chinese Cosmos Semi-Finals, which will be held in Reno and Lake Tahoe from Sept. 23-30, 2011, and this prestigious annual pageant is being produced by Phoenix TV.

Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki, chair of the Nevada Commission on Tourism, has announced that the contest moves around the world each year, last year taking place in Sydney, Australia. This is the first time the pageant has been held in the United States.

“Nevada has gained a reputation as a prime vacation destination for Chinese travelers, so we were excited at the opportunity to bring this prestigious event to our state and showcase all that Nevada has to offer,” Krolicki said. “This is an opportunity to garner worldwide attention through the television broadcast of the pageant, and we are excited that it is being held in northern Nevada.”

The event, which attracts women of Chinese descent to compete, will be broadcast by Phoenix TV to reach more than 225 million viewers in China. It will also be broadcast to more than 150 countries via satellite.

Along with the Nevada Commission on Tourism, the semi-finals are sponsored by Harrah’s Tahoe and the Grand Sierra Resort, both of which will host the contestants and crew during the filming, and the Reno-Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority. The production will be filmed Sept. 19-30 throughout Reno and Lake Tahoe, and will include other sponsor locations such as Zephyr Cove; Corley Ranch in Gardnerville; Stewart Indian School; and Virginia City.

The seven-day tour and competition will include a visit to the Street Vibrations event in Reno, a tour of the National Automobile Museum, tours of the State Capitol and the Nevada State Museum, a cruise aboard the M.S. Dixie II, a Wild-West shoot-out in Virginia City, and photo shoot under the iconic Reno Arch.

“Like everything we do to show off our beautiful state, this project has taken immense collaboration with our tourism partners, and we know the pay-off will be unprecedented television exposure,” NCOT Interim Director Larry Friedman said. “The 18 contestants — and all the Phoenix TV crew — will go home as ambassadors for our state to share what they experienced here, experiences they could have nowhere else in the world.”

On Phoenix TV alone, 10.6 million viewers are expected to see the Miss Chinese Cosmos pageant, which will be aired in a variety of segments and specials in September and October.
