Long-Effect Weight Loss Capsule (LEWLC) LEWLC is pure
herbal medicine. It invigorates functions of the "kidney"
and "spleen" (Qi), which leads to eliminating
dampness, phlegm and may result in weight loss. In modern
medical scientific research, it reduces intake, synthesis
and accumulation of lipids, increase of energy consumption
and promotion of decomposition of lipid. It has few
side effects. LEWLC has been used over five years with
several thousand cases both in China and US. The curative
rate was near 85%, the effective rate was near 100%.

Job Vacancy at British Embassy,
Beijing
*Position: Press & Public Affairs Officer
- Open to all nationalities
*Main purpose of job
The successful candidate will work in the Embassy's
press and public affairs team. He or she will be expected
to contribute to the full range of Embassy media relations,
including news handling and analysis, event management,
PR and information work (publishing, online activity
&c). Initially the main focus will be on project
management and media relations for a major public diplomacy
initiative, Think UK. The successful candidate will
also be expected to devote around 30% of his or her
time to supporting the political team handling UK/China
bilateral relations. The areas of responsibility will
be on law enforcement and arranging high-level visits
between the two countries. These responsibilities may
alter if the needs of the Embassy change.
This is an important and influential job in a busy section,
and would suit a well-motivated person with an interest
in politics and the media, and a hands-on approach to
solving problems. The role demands sound judgement,
the ability to manage paper flows and meet deadlines,
and excellent written and oral communication skills.
Creativity and initiative are essential. The successful
candidate will be given as much responsibility as he
or she can handle, including potentially the management
of one or more members of staff.
*Specialist Skills
The ability to speak and read Chinese to a high level
is important. Experience in public relations or event
management and related specialist skills such as graphic
design or new media would be highly desirable. Familiarity
with the workings of the British and Chinese governments
would also be an advantage.
The deadline for applications is 22 August 2003; candidates
may be asked to come to the British Embassy in the week
of 25 August for assessment and interview.
