Oprah has forsaken us
Article Abstract:
Oprah Winfrey's loss of a considerable amount of weight in order to appear on the cover of American Vogue seems to have led to her losing her essential self. She seems to have indicated to her loyal supporters that their adoration of her is not as significant as the admiration she has gained through losing weight and appearing on the cover of Vogue. She has sacrificed herself to the tyranny of the fashion world, in which body image is strictly dictated, and seems to have ignored the fact that she was beautiful before.

Secret Superwomen
Article Abstract:
It is very common for successful Asian businessmen in the UK to have been greatly assisted by powerful, ambitious women. Shami Ahmed, founder of the Joe Bloggs jeans label, for example, attributes his success partly to the influence of his sister Bushra, PR and marketing manager of Joe Bloggs. Asian women show great commitment to business success, whether as a silent partner or as a more high-profile operator, as in the case of Meena Pathak, head of product development at Indian spice and sauces concern Patak's.
