Naroroon si Konsehal Lee Roy, pinuno nang Committee on Cooperative and Livelihood at nagpasimuno nang nasabing seminar. Sa labas nang pinagdadausan ay nakatayo si Rhett at may dala-dalang pack Bag. Agad siyang pumunta sa gilid nang gym at doon ay pasimpleng pumuslit at pumasok. Pasimple siyang naglagay nang nakatiklop na papel sa bulsa nang isa sa mga security guard nang konsehal. Naramdaman nang nasabing security guard ang paglagay nang papel sa bulsa niya at nang basahin niya ito, nabigla siya sa kanyang nabasa; ‘Mamamatay ngayon si Konsehal Lee Roy. Walang makakapigil, uubusin ko lahat na nandirito.’ ...

6. Get plenty of sleep every night. Not having enough sleep causes been proven to be a ranking element to the body storing excess fat.
