Health is a measure of quality of life that is difficult to define and measure. In the 1940s, the World Health Organization (WHO) defined health as a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. At the first International Conference on Health Promotion in Ottawa, Canada (1986), the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion built on the WHOs concept and further defined health as a resource for everyday life. a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capabilities. Good health enables one to function independently within a changing environment.

FOR THE uninitiated, medical and health insurance is a relatively new class of insurance in Malaysia compared to motor, fire or personal accident insurance. A lot has been written about it, but there continues
“There are [more than] 30 million Americans who have no health insurance and another 20 million who have inadequate health insurance,” says Rep. Louis Stokes (D0Ohio), chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus Health Brain Trust. “It is mandatory that we begin to try and give Americans–particularly minorities–adequate health care as a right.” The Bush plan would give people not covered by Medicaid tax credits, and families making less than $80,000 a year tax deductions to pay for medical costs. He would also pass laws to ensure that even chronically ill patients could receive health insurance. The plan has received a cool reception on Capitol Hill, and alternate proposals, including a full-scale, government-paid national health insurance plan, are under development.

There are around 3,000 “life coaches” in America, and numbers are rising. Even so, coaches in the States are still waiting for the day when people stop saying, “What is life-coaching?” and ask, “Who is your coach?” A coach is a hybrid of business advisor, mentor, therapist, counsellor - and grandma, who thinks youre perfect and wants you to be happy. Ive worked with counsellors for years, writing about their work. I admire it enormously, but whats exciting about coaching is the directness. A counsellor could have your problems and solutions taped in minutes, but months can pass as you are gentled through the process of discovering it for yourself. Coaches instead are straight-talking (but always positive), and will say what strikes them as the truth from the first session. Coaching is achievement- focused. It feels adult, and fast - you are encouraged to take action from day one to become more profitable, healthier, deal with unfinished emotional business, have more fun, make better relationships, or whatever is holding you back. Coaches are trained to handle anything but they tend to specialise in certain professions or life situations. It can be surprising. With my coach, Madeleine Homan, who specialises in creative types, I addressed my procrastination and writing blocks in our first talk. She didnt advise me about how to work harder, but asked me to take more time off - making one working day a week my “creative day” when I do whatever appeals. I tried out this and other suggestions, and just seven weeks later I work with more pleasure, less angst and increased effectiveness. I feel healthier, more energetic and more relaxed. Madeleine is in New York (not so crazy, as a half-hour call costs under pounds 4), but there are coaches in Britain (most working for corporates), 50 training with Coach University, the American “virtual” course, carried out through teleconferencing and e-mail. Some come from caring professions, but felt it made sense to look at practical and financial issues as well as the emotional. Some began as business consultants but couldnt ignore personal issues. They have been coaching for years, usually face-to-face, but some are starting to offer a telephone service. Sherrie Charlton is a UK coach. Vaughn Khelifa, who works in the pharmaceutical industry, was coached by her for 18 months.” I thought it would be like training - being lectured to by an expert. Instead Sherrie helped me think differently: what am I looking for from this; is this the best approach for that person? At the end, I ask myself if I handled it the best way, or how I could improve on it. It has given me confidence and skills that have helped me progress in my job and develop even better relationships with my husband and daughter.” Sherrie believes you have to look to your own development when helping others develop, and spends a quarter of her work hours on this. She is doing a Masters in personal and organisational development as well as a Coach University course. The training is fascinating in itself (Ive signed up). It is commonsense, with a spiritual slant, underpinned by a philosophy of personal excellence. Vocabulary can be puzzling (or a source of joy). One student supplied a word to a trainer who thanked her for “up-languaging me”; Madeleine thought I was confessing to promiscuity when I said I was a “slut”, though I was only admitting to cobwebs and clutter. But the concepts are universal and living with integrity one that is key. Bob Griffiths, a coach for 12 years, can make referrals, and represents Coach University in Britain: 0171 787 8599; coach@willow.demon. co.uk. Sherrie Charlton: 0181 868 0085.

This is not quite right. Certainly people have been “consuming” food for about 400 years, but that use of consume began by being itself a metaphor for something quite different. When Dr James Murray, editing the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary in the early 1890s, came to consumer he gave as its first definition “he who or that which consumes, wastes, squanders, or destroys”. Consumption was bad news. Murray gave about eight definitions of the noun, of which only the sixth was about food, and only the seventh about economics, where it was defined as “the destructive {my italics} employment or utilisation of the products of industry”. The other six definitions were likewise mostly about destruction or waste, or else what Gerard Manley Hopkins in a gloomy moment called “tombs and worms and winding sheets and tumbling to decay”. Seventeenth-century doom merchants enjoyed writing about the consumption of the world, perhaps by fire, which had nothing to do with eating. The word came from the Latin sumere, to take, which with a con- in front meant to take or use up entirely, and was a favourite with the translators of the 1611 Bible. How to describe a devastated city? What better word than consumed? Now all these apocalyptic overtones have faded and the economists meaning prevails. From being wastrels and squanderbugs, consumers are recognised as valuable, indeed essential, contributors to the health of the economy, to be wooed, flattered, soothed and reassured as they carry before them nothing more destructive than a supermarket trolley. We are all consumers now, and proud of it. Nicholas Bagnall
Understanding the Consumer
As H.R. 975, the “Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2003″ (the Act), inches toward almost inevitable enactment, two questions are on the minds of many bankruptcy professionals. First, why single out consumer debtors and not all individuals for “special” treatment? After all, the big money is not with the consumer debtor, but rather with individuals whose debts are not primarily consumer. In addition, the Act will no doubt spawn additional litigation over the definition of a “consumer debt” and whether the debtor has “primarily consumer debts.” Just as important, though, is the question of whether its enactment will result in a large-scale exodus from the ranks of those who now represent consumer debtors. I cannot answer the first question, but as to the second, I am among the pessimistic: It is highly likely there will be a substantial number of consumer bankruptcy practitioners who will opt out. The complex and convoluted, as well as internally inconsistent provisions of the Act provide significant cause for concern. There is a fear among many on the bench that the more experienced practitioners will no longer represent consumer debtors. As one bankruptcy judge remarked to me, he fears that the more careful practitioners will bail out, leaving the courts to deal with the sloppy practitioners and an even larger number of pro se debtors. This will create a domino effect, with bankruptcy judges either taking early retirement or leaving the bench before retirement age. Replacements for those bankruptcy judges who leave the bench will also be drawn from a smaller and, unfortunately, more than likely less-qualified, pool because those who are experienced and knowledgeable will decline to serve for the same reason that those who are serving leave. What is in the Act that will have so many experienced consumer debtor practitioners literally quaking in their boots? There are several provisions-some of minor consequence, and some that should make every consumer debtors counsel shudder. This article looks at some of those provisions that directly affect practitioners who represent consumer debtors and the impact that each may have. (Unless otherwise indicated, references in this article to Code sections are to the Bankruptcy Code, Title 11, as amended by the Act.)

Cellulite reduction market to grow over 23% per year due to new cellulite reduction devices, according to Millennium Research Group WALTHAM, Mass., April 9, 2008 /PRNewswire/ — According to Millennium Research Groups (MRG) US Markets for Body Contouring Devices 2008 report, the cellulite reduction device market was worth almost $80 million in 2007 and will see considerable growth over the next five years, rising to over $215 million by 2012. Growth will be attributed to the vast patient pool — in 2007, 85% of US adult women had cellulite — and new products that will enter the market and provide increased efficacy and positive clinical data. New products that will fuel the cellulite reduction device market include the Eleme Medicals SmoothShapes 100 system and Thermages ThermaTip CL, which were launched in the US in early 2008. SmoothShapes 100 combines light and laser energy with vacuum massage for an enhanced cosmetic result and the ThermaTip CL uses radiofrequency (RF) to restore collagen connective tissue and improve circulation. In 2007, Synerons VelaShape, which utilizes bipolar RF and infrared light, and Alma Lasers Accent RF, which uses Unipolar RF technology, entered the market. These innovative new technologies will increase the efficacy of temporary cellulite reduction, significantly boosting the demand for this patient-driven procedure through 2012.

WEDDING photographs can be so boring, “Theres me and him . . . theres me and mum, theres me and the bridesmaid.” Stop. What about hiring top catwalk photographers who work for Marie Claire, Vogue, or I-D? This is come hell or high water, the same tactic employed at the catwalk shows. “Its the ability to get great pictures really quickly without upsetting anybody,” says Cunningham who has encouraged an entire family into an ancient tree for one shot, and even stripped down to waders and swimming trunks to snap another family standing on a rope bridge over the river Wye. “It is a service particularly appreciated by people who like good pictures,” he adds. The results are certainly unique, as the photographers - who work together to guarantee maximum coverage - respond to every possible event around them, and that means everything. At the end of the average wedding they have about 1000 pictures choose from. It isnt cheap, costing from pounds 1,500 in fees, film and processing, but each picture will eventually be worth its weight in gold. Call 0468 890 395 for enquiries.

A house in Hampstead that has hidden its north London origins behind a new Japanese personality, has just come on the market. Two adjoining houses in Fitzjohns Avenue were replanned and redesigned with specially selected materials. A stream runs along the full length of the properties (which are reached by means of a slatted bridge) and a sunken Japanese garden is filled with pebbles, ferns and bamboo. One of the houses only is for sale at an asking price of pounds 435,000 through Goldschmidt Howland (0171-435 4404). The main bedroom has a low-level custom-made Japanese platform bed and sliding shoji cupboards made from yellow rice paper.

I thought the article in the August issue of Shooting Industry turned out well (Dont Gas Your Customers!) and the articles in this months issue were very good, particularly focusing on the deer cameras (Hello, Deer!) and the profit dollars behind knives (Business of Blades). Your staff has done another good job–as usual. I have looked at a number of systems and it seems like many will not track serial numbers or 4473 Form numbers. However, many of these systems are quite elaborate on the customer service end. Obviously, I would like to find a system that will perform everything I need on the firearms end but also be a robust customer service package. Any ideas?

The booming credit universe is providing rich pickings for providers of independent research.Worried over conflicts of interest, bond buyers are increasingly turning to independent credit analysis rather than relying on recommendations from the sell side of banks. “We started this company knowing that institutional customers knew that the information provided to the them by the sell side was tainted,” says Paul Ciasullo, an analyst at independent credit research team Creditsights in New York. “It may be new to mom and pop unfortunately, but its not new to the institutions to which were selling our research.”
“Unlike other types of financial institutions that need to generate a profit to satisfy stockholders, credit unions are member-owned,” explains Peter V. Yeager, director of government and public affairs with the Credit Union Affiliates of New Jersey, Hightstown. “The boards of directors do not get paid, only the staff. There are no stockholders. All excess earnings are returned to members in the form of highly competitive dividend rates on savings and investment accounts, great interest rates on loans and the addition of new products and services.”
NEW YORK (AP) — Digging for gold in the growing mounds of tarnished credit and bankruptcies, some credit-card issuers are issuing cards to some of the worst credit risks — sometimes charging hundreds of dollars in fees. “Weve begun to see more and more of these offers, and we suspect this is an area thats going to grow,” said Ruth Susswein, executive director of Bankcard Holders of America in McLean, Va. “But be aware that these offers can be very costly and may be a bad deal, although theyre certainly not going to be pitched that way.” Until recently, people with past credit problems could only get credit cards if they first put up enough money to at least cover their credit limit. The new products arent secured, but holders of the new cards are required to make an up-front payment or pay special fees over time. These fees can sometimes be considerable, and unlike a secured account, they dont earn interest. AmCredit in Sioux Falls, S.D., buys debts that others have given up on for pennies on the dollar. Through a 5,000-card pilot program launched last May, it asks people who have already been through bankruptcy to repay all or a portion of their old debt. In exchange, AmCredit will extend a modest line of new credit, typically 10 percent of what the bankrupt person agrees to pay back. Susswein says the offer isnt a good deal. Anybody who has been through bankruptcy has already had the debts wiped out. “Dont assume debt that is already not yours to pay,” she said. Martin Burke, vice chairman of Service One, which markets and services the AmCredit program, said the AmCredit cards offer “an opportunity for people to take advantage of one of their old obligations to re-establish themselves as credible.” Some creditors dont want to lend money to people who have only had secured cards, because they dont demonstrate that someone can actually pay back a loan, Burke added. Cardholders do not pay an initial fee, but pay a 6.9 annual percentage rate for the six months and 18.99 percent thereafter. First Premier Bank in Sioux Falls offers loans from $250 to $1,000, for which consumers pay a $49 up-front processing fee, another $89 to join the program, plus an annual fee of $89. Of the total $227 initial cost, $178 can be paid out over time, but that counts against the card holders credit limit. Cardholders pay a 21 percent annual rate. Bill Connor, vice president for new business at First Premier, said some customers do not want a secured credit card because they incorrectly perceive that a merchant accepting the card for payment can tell it is secured, or because they have a hard time raising a security deposit. First Premier, which piloted about 105,000 unsecured cards three months ago, also has several secured products in the marketplace, Connor said. Cross Country Bank in Wilmington, Del., which recently bought Ocean Independent Banks credit-card business, offers unsecured credit between $350 and $2,500. Consumers pay $100 up front, $50 a year, and APR of 20.99 percent, Susswein said. Susswein thinks a secured credit card is a better deal for people with spotty credit. Although the deposits for secured cards typically earn minimal interest — under 3 percent — that is still better than giving the money away in the form of fees, she said. “I agree with (that) conclusion,” Connor admitted, “but the client is the person who makes the decision here.”

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Consolidated Ecoprogress Technology Inc. (Ecoprogress) (TSX VENTURE:CES) is pleased to announce an agreement in principle with Tailored Technologies Inc. of Winston Salem, North Carolina (TTI) for the acquisition of certain patented diaper and adult incontinence technologies, expertise, and marketing services.
Parents pay a high premium for the disposables convenience — an increase of $546 to $1,417 per child over the cost of using a commercial diaper service or home washing. Not only does landfill disposal of dirty diapers cost at least another $300 million annually, Lehrburger argues, but it also needlessly exposes sanitation workers to diseases — including possibly polio and AIDS — from incorporated viruses.

It is difficult to write objectively and dispassionately of something about which one feels strongly, for or against. Tell me a mans a foxhunter and I loves him at once said Mr Jorrocks. Today he is more likely to be an object of censure, Mr Jorrocks too. The future of hunting hangs in the balance, a prospect unthinkable to Will Ogilvie who wrote in the twenties:
I was particularly dismayed because it gives gun owners and users the reputation as senseless takers of life for no other reason but for target practice. Shame on the ones using their weapons this way!
Two of Virginias neighboring states, Maryland and West Virginia–each a longtime haven for outdoorsmen–are taking very different approaches to youth hunting. If passed, this bill will have a devastating effect on recruiting young hunters and the future of wildlife conservation in Maryland, said Rob Sexton, USSA vice president for government affairs. The bill is a deliberate attempt to sabotage the future of hunting. Parents, not the government, are far more equipped to know when their sons and daughters are ready to hunt.

Combining six different heart medications in one supercharged tablet, its the latest in a line of pharmaceutical attempts to banish heart disease. What a sad indictment of our attitude to health that we could consider such mass medication as a solution for a health epidemic whose causes are clearly apparent and could be virtually eradicated through education and personal responsibility. The Western “cardiovascular crisis” could be consigned to history with a change in attitude and a willingness to implement what we already know.

We have carefully watched the U.S. sales management software market for years, said Daryl Shenner, Zybertechs President. The competitive landscape does not offer an integrated sales management system. Every available sales software solution requires custom coding. This only drives up support costs, as custom code must be maintained and rewritten when the sales management source code changes from version to version. We know we have a winning combination of capabilities and pre-integration, and we are ready to tackle the U.S. market after years of preparation.
Canadas continued recovery from a six-year recession helped boost home improvement sales by 8 percent in 1997, with sales among the top 50 retailers soaring by 11.6 percent.The increasingly healthy economy, however, only highlighted the growth of big-box stores, which first entered Canada five years ago. There were 57 big-box stores in Canada at the end of 1997, generating an estimated C$2.6 billion (US$1.82 billion) in revenue. As a result, dealers spent much of 1997 and early 1998 improving their competitive positions.In April 1998, Revelstoke Home Centers parent company West Fraser Timber entered a deal to buy Toronto-based Lansing Buildall. The merger creates a company that operates 60 stores in five provinces and may open 10 additional stores in the Toronto area in the next five years.
