STATEMENT OF AVERAGE GROSS COMPENSATION
OF U.S. SUPERVISORS – 2010
Herbalife offers its Distributors an opportunity to achieve a lifetime of better health through its scientifically advanced weight management and nutrition products. While many of our Distributors join the Herbalife family simply to enjoy our life-changing products, others want to share their results and take advantage of the many income benefits our business opportunity provides. With Herbalife, you can work part-time and earn a supplemental income, or focus solely on your Herbalife Distributorship and increase your financial potential. It’s completely up to the individual how much he or she wants to achieve! A Distributor earns profits by buying Herbalife products at wholesale and reselling them at retail. If the Distributor wants to increase his or her involvement in the business and enjoy the possibility of higher levels of income, he or she may sponsor others into the business and develop an organization.
Over 25% of Distributors reach the rank of Supervisor and above (“Leader”), qualifying them for additional compensation which is paid by Herbalife based upon the sales production of those they have sponsored directly and indirectly. The annual gross compensation paid by Herbalife to all Leaders during 2010 averaged $2,700. Over 37% of Supervisors are “Active” (defined as those who generated at least 2,500 points of volume in 2010 after becoming Supervisor).The annual gross compensation paid by Herbalife to Active Leaders during 2010 averaged approximately $7,100.
Active Leaders
Earning Level % of Total Leaders % of Active Leaders Average Earnings (USD)
President’s Team 0.2% 0.6% $ 486,985
Millionaire Team 0.7% 1.8% $ 95,484
GET 2.5% 6.7% $ 21,343
World Team 2.9% 7.8% $ 5,688
Supervisor 31.3% 83.1% $ 812
______________________________________________________________________________________
Total 37.6% 100.0% $ 7,071
The amounts above are in addition to and do not include profits earned on the resale of products to consumers or other Distributors.
The figures stated above are not a guarantee nor are they a projection of a typical Distributor’s earnings or profits. Like any other independent business, the achievement or failure of a Distributor depends upon his or her skill set, commitment and desire to succeed. At Herbalife, the opportunity to earn more is always available to each and every Distributor.

  This article is an orphan, as few or no other articles link to it. Please introduce links to this page from related articles; suggestions may be available. (March 2010)

The word gotra means "lineage" in the Sanskrit language. While it is somewhat akin to a family name, the given name of a family is often different from its gotra, as given names may reflect the traditional occupation, place of residence or other important family characteristic rather than gotra.
People belonging to the same gotra also belong to the same caste in the Hindu social system. But there is a notable exception among matrilineal Tulu/Malayalee speakers where the lineages are the same across the castes.
For lists of gotras compounded by caste, refer to the following:
• Jats: refer to List of Jat clans

• Viswabrahmins: refer to List of Viswabrahmin gotras

These are the Hindu castes, which form the root of Indian society. The Christian, Muslim and castes in other religions in India, are a result of the extension of the Hindu caste system into the society of the people of these religions even after conversion. An example of non-Hindu caste system, is the caste system in Kerala, among the Christians, which is considered to be more highly polarized than that of Hindus, due to the absence of jatis. Examples of endogamous ethno-religious castes among Christians, are the Syrian Malabar Nasranis, who are of mixed Brahmin, and Jewish origin, and are thus among the highest castes in Kerala, and the Latin-rite Catholics, who are a scheduled caste, i.e, a lower caste.

 Nouns: gender

1) General rule
English nouns rarely change form, even to indicate gender. As a general rule, only nouns referring to people and some animals reflect gender in their form. By the same token, unlike many other languages, the adjectives modifying nouns will remain unchanged.
Example: My poor little dog died.

2) However, certain nouns -- especially those referring to people -- may have different forms to indicate masculin or feminine usage:
man -- woman
gentleman -- lady
actor -- actress
uncle -- aunt
father -- mother

The same can be said of certain male and female animals:
a buck, a doe
a ram, a ewe
a bull, a cow
a stallion, a mare

3) In other cases, the word "male" or "female" is added, if it is considered necessary to be specific:
a female cat
a male giraffe

4) Pronouns
Note: If the gender of the person or animal is known, one will generally use the pronoun "he" or "she" to refer to it, as appropriate. When the gender is left unstated, the pronoun "he" is generally used when speaking of people, or "it" when speaking of animals. Some objects are also considered to be gendered in certain usages: some people may refer to a boat or a car as "she."

5) Man/Woman
Certain nouns (especially the names of professions) are traditionally associated with men or women, in which case one signals exceptions to the tradition by adding "woman" (or "lady") or "man" to the term:
They are in a group of male dancers.
My wife prefers to see a woman doctor.
 TEST - Find the feminine forms: bull, cat, man, doctor, buck, uncle, actor, father

ANSWERS cow, female cat, woman, woman doctor, doe, actress, mother

http://www.ToLearnEnglish.com - Resources to learn/teach English (courses, games, grammar, daily page...)
 Plurals

> As a general rule, the plural is formed by adding "-s" to the singular form of nouns.
shoe --> shoes | book --> books | river --> rivers
> Nouns ending in "s" or "s" will generally take the ending "-es" :
bus --> buses | kiss --> kisses
> Words ending in "y" will generally take the ending "-ies" in place of the "y":
party --> parties | supply --> supplies
> A few words have very irregular forms in the plural:
one man --> two men
one woman --> two women
one person --> two people
one foot --> two feet
one mouse --> two mice
one goose --> two geese
one tooth --> two teeth
one wife --> two wives
one child --> two children
one knife --> two knives
one thief --> two thieves
one dwarf --> two dwarves (or: dwarfs)
one potato --> two potatoes
one leaf --> two leaves
one life --> two lives
one loaf --> two loaves
one half --> two halves
> A small set of words do not change form in the plural:
one moose --> two moose
one sheep --> two sheep
one aircraft --> two aircraft

> Words of Greek or Latin origin which have retained their original endings will generally take the plural form associated with the language they are drawn from:
one alumnus --> two alumni
one syllabus --> two syllabi
one alumna --> two alumnae
one alga --> many algae
one criterion --> many criteria
one forum --> many fora (or : forums)
one thesis --> two theses
one hypothesis --> two hypotheses
one phenomenon --> two phenomena
one cactus --> two cacti (or : cactuses)
one diagnosis --> two diagnoses
one oasis --> two oases
one analysis --> two analyses

> A few nouns are invariable or collective, always indicating a plural meaning:
She gave me some information.
Michelle has a lot of clothes.
 TEST - >> Find the plural
table, child, thief, mouse, thief, potato, tooth, alga, goose, wife, sheep, life

 Possessive

It is used with nouns referring to people, groups of people, countries, and animals. 'Belonging to' or 'ownership' is one of the relationships it expresses :
John owns a car. ('John' is the possessor or owner)
It is John's car.
America has some gold reserves. ('America' is the owner)
They are America's gold reserves.

Form
To form the possessive, add 's ('apostrophe -s') to the noun.
If the noun is plural, or already ends in -s, just add: ' (an apostrophe).
For names ending in -s:
In speaking- we add the sound /iz/ to the name, but -in writing- the 's form is common. e.g. Thomas's book, James's shop.
Examples:
The car of John = John's car.
The room of the girls = The girls' room.
Clothes for men = Men's jobs.
The sister of Charles = Charles's sister.
The boat of the sailors = The sailors' boat.

The possessive is also used to refer to shops, restaurants, churches and colleges, using the name or job title of the owner. Examples:
the grocer's the doctor's the vet's
the newsagent's the chemist's Smith's
the dentist's Tommy Tucker's Saint Mary's

I've got an appointment at the dentist's at eleven o'clock.
 TEST Say if these sentences are correct or wrong.
1. Peter's boat is really beautiful. 2. I like dog's John. It is so cute! 3. I had a walk with Thomas's girlfriend. 4. Women's jobs are very hard! 5. I went to the dentist.

ANSWERS 1. Peter's boat is really beautiful. OK | 2. I like dog's John. It is so cute! WRONG> John's dog | 3. I had a walk with Thomas's girlfriend. OK | 4. Women's jobs are very hard! OK | 5. I went to the dentist. WRONG> to the dentist's.

 Adjectives: forms & usage
> Forms:
Adjectives are generally invariable in English and do not agree with nouns in number and gender.
a blue car
the great outdoors
a group of young women
However, a few adjectives have a connotation which is slightly masculine or feminine. Thus, one says that a woman is beautiful while a man would be called handsome.
Adjectives indicating religion or nationality (or a region, state or province) generally begin with a capital letter, whether they refer to people or objects:
She is an American student.
They go to a Catholic school.
They enjoy Breton music.

> Usage:
The adjective will be placed, with very few exceptions, in front of the noun it modifies. When two adjectives precede a noun, they can be connected by a comma (,) or by the conjunction"and." In a series of three or more adjectives, one usually uses "and" before the last adjective in the list.
Examples: I like short novels.
That fellow will be a competent worker.
She writes long and flowery letters.
He works long, hard hours.
She had a mean, old and overbearing step-mother.

An adjective may follow the noun when it is in a predicate (after the verb) or in a relative clause. (In relative clauses the relative pronoun may be implicit.)
Examples: He was a man (who was) always happy to help others.
She is a woman (who is) true to herself.
They were entirely satisfied.
 TEST
Complete this sentence with an article, a noun and an adjective: Peter has ...
- adjectives: elegant / short / brown / long / little / blue / warm / curly
- articles: a / an / (nothing)
- nouns: coat / gloves / beard / eyes

ANSWERS > examples (there are more correct answers): an elegant / warm coat - brown / short gloves - curly / little beard - blue eyes - an elegant, warm, blue coat

 Reflexive pronouns
> Reflexive pronouns are used to show that the actions described by a verb act upon the subject of the verb: the subject and the object are thus the same. The forms of reflexive pronouns correspond to the forms of the subject pronouns:
Subject pronouns
I
you
he
she
it
we
you
they Reflexive pronouns
myself
yourself
himself
herself
itself
ourselves
yourselves
themselves

> To use a verb reflexively, the reflexive pronoun must follow the verb (and, in the case of an intransitive verb, it will follow any preposition used with the verb). If there are multiple verbs in the sentence, the reflexive pronoun follows the verb to which it applies:
I told myself it would never happen.
She talks to herself all the time.
Look at yourself in that mirror!
I would like to give myself a raise.

> At the end of a sentence, one can add reflexive pronouns as a way of accentuating the subject in the sentence. In this case, the verb does not have reflexive power:
I would rather do that myself.
Can you talk to him yourself?
 TEST

I thought that was right. ["I was in the process of thinking..." would be awkward.]
Cheryl owned her own house. ["Cheryl was in the midst of owning..." would be awkward.]

> Note: Do not use the past progressive in order to describe habitual actions in the past.

Conditional
The conditional is formed using the modal "would" in front of an infinitive (dropping the word "to"). The conditional is used especially in three contexts:
1) Politeness
I would like the menu, please.
Would you have a couple of minutes for me?

2) To indicate the "future within the past":
She said she would come to the party.
I thought he would arrive before me.

3) In hypothetical constructions with "if." When "if" is followed by the preterit or the subjunctive, the conditional is expected in the second clause:
If I had the time, I would do my homework.
If you told me the truth, I would believe you.

The "if" of hypothetical expressions can be implicit:
In your position (= if I were you), I wouldn't stay here!

1. rich / would / If / buy / a / house / were / big / I

to have --> having

Looking ahead is important.
