THE NEW JUICE--JUJU Good news has finally arrived for all those people out there conscious of their health, and with a firm belief that their body is a temple. Scientific advancement in the field of juice makers has finally reached its height with the new Juice-Juju. The Juice-Juju is different from other orange juice makers as it uses every part of the orange itself. Yes, that's right -- even the peel, creating a delicious and healthy drink which can be enjoyed either as part of a physical exercise plan, or simply as an alternative to other less healthy drinks, such as coke and Lemonade. Old orange juice makers used to require four or even five oranges to make just a small glass of orange. The Juice-Juju solves that problem in an instant, and requires only half the amount of oranges to produce the same amount of juice as a normal orange juice maker. The Juice-Juju's special extra ingredients also ensure added vitamins and minerals are added to the drink, keeping the whole family healthy. The Juice-Juju will be available in the shops from next week at the low price of only $99. 99. Also available will be the Juice-Juju Deluxe at $299.99 which has been combined with a blender, providing the ultimate in food preparation and healthcare. Join the revolution! Buy a Juice-Juju!

The History of Volkswagen{{/B}} Ferdinand Porsche started
work on the "people" car with money he received from the German government. In
1938 he returned to Germany, founded Volkswagen Gmbh and started production with
his new American machinery in Wolfsburg, Lower Saxony.
Commercial production stopped during the war and factory and its 9,000
workers fell into British hands in 1945. After the war the British helped the
local economy by ordering 20,000 cars but decided not to take over the company
as they did not think it had a future. Instead, Heinrich Nordhoff took over as
Managing Director and the Volkswagen success story began. Within
five years annual production went from 20, 000 to 230, 000 cars and the company
founded its first South American subsidiary, Volkswagen do Brazil S. A. In 1949
the first exports to the USA arrived in New York, where they were described as
'beetle-like' and the VW Beetle legend was born. Thirty-two years later
the 20 millionth Beetle rolled off a Volkswagen de Mexico production line. In
1960 Volkswagen became a public limited company valued at DM 600 m.
The company continued its globalization by setting up its own production
facilities in Australia (1957), Nigeria (1973) and Japan (1990) while expanding
into the USA (1976) and Spain (1986) by buying car manufacturers. The company
also Jet up a joint venture in China (1982). Political events at the end of 1989
gave VW the opportunity to move into central Europe, where it soon began
production in the former East Germany and expanded into the Czech
Republic. Today Volkswagen AG is Europe's largest car-maker with
242,770 employees and a turnover of $65 bn. With new versions of the world's two
most successful cars, the Beetle and the Golf, the future for VW looks every bit
as bright as its past.

{{B}}Success Story{{/B}}
Journalist Mark Stretton examines the growth of on insurance
company
which now has sales of £300 million per year. In
1993, American-born Henry Eastman got a call from a recruitment consultancy,
inviting him to give up his successful marketing career in one insurance company
to become the head of another. This new job was to work for an investment
company called Brinscombe's, who wanted him to create a brand new car insurance
company. Despite the risks involved, Eastman agreed. A lot of
young drivers in the 20 to 35 age range, especially the ones who have already
had accidents, have difficulties in getting car insurance because most companies
think they are too big a risk. However, Eastman believes there ore no problems
if their annual payments are large enough. He offered them insurance cover
through television commercials and attracted many customers by giving out
folders in which to keep their policies safe. His strategy was a good one.
Within eight years he had built the business into o national company with
500,000 customers and sales of £300 million per year.The company is based in
Manchester. The authorities there wanted to increase employment and offered
Eastman a £1 million grant to start up after he promised to create 350 new jobs.
He is now e major employer in the area with 1,400 staff and has also created new
specialist insurance companies for women, credit card users and people using the
internet. Eastman believes in American management methods:
working as a team to get better results; net being allowed to miss lunch because
you ore too busy; and having fun. This belief has recently won him a place in a
'50 Best Companies to Work For' survey. In 1999, Brinscombe's
decided to withdraw their investment and offered the company to the management
team. They said 'yes', borrowed £80 million from a bank and bought it. Eastman
is pleased with his success. 'We're a great and growing company', he says, 'and
we give our customers better service than they can dream
of!'
