Cause marketers can back their strategies with sound market research and a powerful return on investment. need research to support your daily work. Here are some statistics from 2008 to 2013 that shed new light on doing well by doing good.
Cause sponsorship is predicted to reach $1.78 billion in 2013, a projected increase of 4.8% over 2012.
Causes motivate 91% of global consumers to switch brands to one associated with a good cause, given comparable price and quality.
Half of global consumers said they would reward companies that give back to society by paying more for their goods and services (44% in the U.S. and 38% in Canada).
Consumers want more clarity because 70% of consumers are confused by the messages companies use to talk about their CSR initiatives.
9 percent increase in “would switch” brands if a similar brand supported a good cause.
While 87% of global consumers believe that business needs to place at least equal weight on society’s interests as on business’ interests, less than a third believe business is performing well in addressing societal issues.
Although it’s difficult to quantify cause marketing spending, IEG’s numbers put corporate cause sponsorship at $1.68 billion in 2011, predicted to grow to $1.73 billion in 2012.
Ninety-three percent of consumers want to know what companies are doing to make the world a better place and 91% also want to be heard by companies. Unfortunately, 71% report being confused by the message companies use to talk about their efforts and impacts.
Millennials, more than Non-Millennials, prefer active engagement in cause campaigns, such as volunteering their time (31% versus 26%), cause-support purchasing (37% versus 30%), encouraging others to support a cause (30% versus 22%), and participating in fundraising events (27% versus 16%). Thirty-seven percent of Millennials report being drawn to products co-branding with cause campaigns where their purchase is a form of support, such as Tom’s Shoes One for One Campaign.
Consumer Expect Marketing with Purpose. Eighty-six percent of consumers around the world believe that business needs to place at least equal weight on societal interests as on business interests.
Two-thirds of brands now engage in cause marketing (up from 58% in 2009) and 97% of marketing executives believe it is a valid business strategy.
About 90% of consumers want companies to tell them the ways they are supporting causes. Nearly two-thirds (61%) don’t think companies are giving them enough details about their efforts, including the amounts donated and the length of the promotions.
One-third of Hispanic and African American consumers report that they almost always choose brands that support causes they believe in, compared to just one in five Non-Hispanic Whites.
Consumers Punish Companies with Bad Reputations as 72% of US consumers say they have avoided purchasing products from companies whose practices they disagree with.
Globally 66% of people believe it’s no longer enough for corporations to merely give money away, but that they must integrate good causes into their day-to-day business.
Companies Can Make a Difference and 60% of US consumers say businesses are in the best position to impact social issues, as opposed to government (14%).
About two-thirds of Chief Marketing Officers say they plan to maintain their level of cause commitment in spite of the recession.
Cause Marketing Increases Sales. Behavioral research demonstrated a 28 to 78% increase in actual purchase within the toothpaste and shampoo categories.
Cause Increasingly Creates Differentiation. About 79% of Americans say they would be likely to switch from one brand to another, when price and quality are about equal, if the other brand is associated with a good cause (compared to 66% in 1993).
People Are Cause-Conscious in Many Aspects of Life since 89% of Americans state it is very/somewhat important to know about the values of companies they come in contact with – whether through buying products, working for them or living in a community in which they operate.

Now isn’t that strange! I’m new to blogging — but yesterday my post was “With A Little Help From My Friends”.
The one who doesn’t judge you ever.
Keep the GOOD topics coming!
A friend doesn’t need to “send a request”!!
tell me your friend,I will say who are you.
A friend -what would life be without a friend? The one who loves you at your success & failuir, the one who always give you compliments , the one who listen and give advice, the one who would like to take a walk with you.Once I had a good friend and we seperated for several years,no address, no telephone.I treid my best to reach her,and all my mailing came back to me.
So I gave up, and still I was was thinking of her.
Then, one blessed day I got a letter from her, to my former addreess,and the post office put the letter in my mailbox. What a happy day it was. Now we are celebrating our reunion!
This topic makes me think deeper than I usually would about “Friend”!!!
Don’t let good ideas slip away!

Taiwan’s presidential and legislative elections are taking place against a backdrop of a struggling economy marred by near-zero growth, stagnant wages and rising prices, a new report by the the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission said.
The economy is also suffering from the looming threat of an energy shortage, low domestic investment and overdependence on China, and the economic problems are expected to be deciding factors in the elections, said the report, titled Taiwan’s Economy Amid Political Transition.
The Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) have shifted the focus of their campaigns away from the traditional question of Taiwan’s sovereignty, it concluded.
The report, prepared by commission staff and aimed at members of the US Congress, said that economic issues will now determine the election results.
It said that DPP presidential candidate Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) generally advocates improving Taiwan’s domestic economy by expanding social welfare benefits, raising the minimum wage and promoting local sources of innovation.
However, KMT candidate Eric Chu (朱立倫) seeks to prioritize Taiwan’s external economic relations, advocating further trade liberalization — especially with China — as a means of supporting export-led growth, it said.
“Stagnant wages, combined with unemployment in Taiwan’s largely high-skilled workforce, weak entrepreneurial innovation and low inbound investment, explain why Taiwan is in a period of slowing economic growth,” the report said.
“The severity of these domestic economic problems may explain why DPP candidate Tsai has maintained a strong lead in election polls,” it added.
Taiwan’s export-oriented economy has become dependent on China and vulnerable to fluctuations in Beijing’s economy, “contributing to a growth rate that has slowed to nearly zero,” the report said.
Further economic cooperation with a wider range of partners could help Taiwan diversify its export markets, identify solutions to its energy shortage and attract much needed inbound foreign direct investment, it said.
With Tsai generally expected to win the election, the report names five economists who will “likely take on prominent roles” in her administration.
US-trained economist Lin Chuan (林全), president of the DPP’s think tank, the New Frontier Foundation, would advocate for a comprehensive growth strategy that includes stimulating innovation, financial sector reform and diversification of free-trade partners, it said.
Another US-trained economist, Hu Sheng-cheng (胡勝正), is also expected to win a leading position in a Tsai administration.
Hu believes Taiwan’s economy has become too reliant on exports, saying that Taiwan should diversify by linking its high-tech sectors with more traditional industries, such as precision machinery, the report said.
Others named by the report as likely top advisers are finance expert Shih Jun-ji (施俊吉); Taiwan Institute of Economic Research vice president Kung Ming-hsin (龔明鑫); and Taiwan Think Tank chairman Chen Po-chih (陳博志).

Driving in the UK is pretty straight forward. If you pay attention to the road signs and keep an eye out for the occasional kamikaze pedestrian and cyclist, you will be absolutely fine!
The biggest hurdle for any foreigner is getting their heads around the fact that we drive on the left side of the road even though the 65% of countries drive on the right.
Whilst there isn’t a need to drive on the left the reason why Brits do is kind of cool. It goes back hundreds of years when people travelled on the left hand side of the road in order to keep their right hand free in case they had to reach for their sword.
The first thing you need to know before you hit the road is check that your driving license is valid in the UK. The second most important thing to do is make sure you and your passengers buckle up. Wearing an age-specific seat belt is compulsory in the UK. If you or a passenger under the age of 14 is caught without a seat belt you can expect to get up to a £500 fine and three penalty points on your license. If the passenger is over 14 they are the ones that will get a fine.
In cities and towns the maximum speed you can travel at is 30mph. This can go down to 20mph near schools. You can travel at 60mph on a single carriageway, which is a road that is divided in the middle and traffic does in opposite directions, and 70mph on motorways.
If you are caught going over the speed limit you can be fined a minimum of £100 and get three penalty points on your licence. You can be disqualified if you get 12 points over a three year period.
What do the road signs mean?
You can tell what a sign is for by its colour and shape. Warning signs are mostly triangular with red borders. Signs within circles with a red border are mostly prohibitive. Direction signs are mostly rectangular and are distinguished by their background colour; blue for motorway signs, green for primary routes and white for secondary routes.
Local direction signs often have blue borders with a white background. Signs with brown backgrounds are used to direct motorists to tourist attractions.
On country roads, sharp bends are shown by a sign that typically has a white arrow on a black background, the more arrows the tighter the bend.
All signs are shown in a booklet entitled Know Your Traffic Signs.
How to navigate a roundabout?
Vehicles already on the roundabout, coming from your right have priority over those entering it. You need to wait until you can see a safe opening for you to join the roundabout. If you want to exit the roundabout on the first exit then join the lane on the outside. If you want to exit the roundabout on the 2nd, 3rd or 4th exit then join the inside lane.
Who has priority at a pelican crossings?
Pelican crossings are also referred to as zebra crossings in the UK and the main rule is that the pedestrian has the priority to cross. On approaching you should slow down and be observant to whether some is going to cross. If they are you should stop the car and let them cross before proceeding.
Near schools you will find that a person with a big stop sign will stand in the middle of the road to help children cross the road safely.
As with everything us Brits like to be polite and courteous on the road. And that includes waving a thank-you when another driver slows down to let you turn or join traffic ahead of them.
Drivers also make sure they are driving safely around cyclists and it is frowned upon if you driver in the lane intended for bicycles, buses and cabs. And lastly, if you hear the siren of ambulance, police car or fire engine, move out of the way!

Maybe you are the kind of person who, since two years old, had toys as patients. You would play the doctor role and perhaps even use sticks to inject the teddy doll patients. The “hospital” area was the yard in your home. Creatively, you had a wheelbarrow as the ambulance to transport the extremely sick clients.
Fast forward to your high school days. The role-play actions of your childhood are no more. You now want to become a real doctor. What can you do to qualify as a professional in the medical sector?
Is Medicine a Good Career Choice?
Yes, your inspiration to join the medical field emanates from the romantic notions from TV images, doctors in white coats, and stethoscopes around the neck. Childhood fantasies aside, medical careers bestow prestige, a comfortable lifestyle, and handsome remuneration. Most importantly, becoming a physician satisfies the genuine desire to help the people in need of curative services.
Enrolment in a medical school provides the opportunity to fulfill the dream of becoming a doctor, lab technician, clinical officer, nurse, or pharmacist. The only caution you require is to seek registration in a globally accredited institution that helps you to gain the skills to boost your career. As explained in the www.jliedu.com, the website of the James Lind Institute, several avenues exist for students who complete high school to work in healthcare or pharmaceutical sectors.
James Lind Institute (JLI) is a worldwide education and training institution in India offering courses accredited by the International Council of Open and Distance Education (ICDE). JLI has centers in the United States, Singapore, the Middle East, and Africa. The alumni of the JLI work in over 40 countries globally. In Norway, JLI partners with more than 500 healthcare facilities.
• Advanced post-graduate, diploma in clinical research, clinical research and pharmacovigilance, medical writing, clinical, regulatory affairs, data management, quality assurance.
• Professional Diploma in Clinical Trial Management.
• Diploma in Pharmacovigilance & Pharmacoepidemiology.
JLI also offers public health and tropical medicine studies to promote the global efforts to promote the health across the continents. The qualifies learners can help to combat infectious disease epidemics. JLI graduates are highly-respected public health, tropical medicine, and healthcare management, professionals.
A healthcare training institution can give the opportunity to acquire Bachelor of Science, Medicine (BS/MD) degree, or Master’s degree, or even a doctorate. In pharmaceutical studies, you learn globally-recognized skills in drug manufacturing and administration. Pharmaceutical companies and laboratories employ the graduate’s in pharmacy.
If you study medical journalism, you understand scientific writing and to explain complex medical ideas. A medical journalist helps the ordinary person to digest the technical medical terms using everyday language.

Outremont, Qué, City, pop 22 933 (2001c), 22 571 (1996c), 22 935 (1991c), area 3.83 km2, inc 1895, was set up as the village of Côte-Sainte-Catherine in 1875. Its present name reflects its location beside (en outre) Mont Royal, the extinct volcano which occupies the centre of Île de Montréal.

Bitcoin technology dynamics. Part Two.
The IT giants like Microsoft step further and offer a cloud service for those who want to use blockchain technology. The service uses technology from the foundation Ethereum who a year ago raised $18 million in a fund raising campaign where they sold their own digital currency based on a version of the blockchain, where contracts are written in code and can be locked.
Microsoft thinks that the company's cloud service to be used by financial organizations that want to test the technology, without investing into hardware. The programmer Vitaly Buterin, member of Ethereum project, is sure the technology can also be used for other things. Instead of creating a traditional company that imagines Ethereum that the technology will be used to build business without a manager or management board where everyone rather than working for a contract will be locked into the block chain. However, the vision may not be valid for all types of businesses.

Recognizing the need to improve health information outreach to special populations, the National Network of Libraries of Medicine – New England Region (NN/LM NER) targeted its core outreach services in a focused geographic area. The purpose of the focused outreach approach was to increase access to accurate and reliable health information in communities experiencing health disparities; and to collect process and outcomes evaluation data for program improvement. The project was conceptualized in three phases: 1) Community Assessment: a systematic approach to understanding the community and connecting NN/LM NER with community-based organizations serving the targeted population; 2) Focused Outreach Implementation: a tailored approach using the existing promotional framework of NN/LM NER and its resources; and 3) Evaluation: a comprehensive approach to looking at and documenting the process of conducting focused health information outreach and assessing outputs and outcomes as a way of measuring the effectiveness of the model. Two communities were selected for focused outreach – Providence, Rhode Island’s Latino community and rural residents in Western Maine (Androscoggin, Franklin and Oxford Counties).
Appendices to the report are included as supplementary files -- see Additional Files below.

Discus and support Mouse pointer disappears on wake from sleep in Windows 10 Support to solve the problem; Recently my mouse pointer has been disappearing when the system wakes in Windows 10 Pro. I can still see it highlighting when moving the mouse and the... Discussion in 'Windows 10 Support' started by nduncan, Feb 20, 2016.
Recently my mouse pointer has been disappearing when the system wakes in Windows 10 Pro. I can still see it highlighting when moving the mouse and the dialog open with a right click. It only comes back if I open the Task Manager or a separate window. Strangely if I manually put the computer to sleep through the power menu this issue does not seem to appear, it only shows when the computer sleeps after the allotted time.
Not sure if this is an issue with Nvidia Drivers or a Windows Update.
Any ideas on what might cause this or how to fix it?
when waking a windows 10 machine from sleep, my Microsoft intellimouse explorer 3.0 pointer is unusable. for every second I move the mouse in any direction, the pointer moves for about 1/3 second then stops.
the led on the mouse appears to be off when I wake the machine from sleep using the keyboard.
the solution so far has been to unplug and plug in the mouse (waiting about 2-3 seconds before plugging in, otherwise problems sometimes continue).
after unplug/plug it works fine until the next time the machine goes to sleep.
I already did install the latest Microsoft intellimouse software/driver and that did not help.
the "allow this device to wake from sleep" is checked, though it appears the device goes to sleep too (?). I have also already attempted to change the power settings for usb devices. this did not help.
does anybody have any other suggestions to make the mouse work on wake up instead of having to unplug/plug each time?
I created another user account and then had to wait until the mouse pointer had disappeared after a start up from sleep.
When this happened I logged into the new account and after it set up the mouse pointer had reappeared. Then switching back to my usual account the mouse pointer was/is still there. Does this give any clues how to fix the problem?
Same thing happening with my PC, especially lately. It previously would happen only once or twice in a month; it's happened now several times in the past day.

Although the edge gives a fine and light aesthetic; the thickness of this beautiful pale timber quickly thickens for an unexpected and reassuring feel of weight.

Holding more than 900 million users, if you’re already a Facebook user this might not be really new to you, but there are lots of features worth mentioning. You can create a dedicated business page and interact directly, and free, with your customers uploading free pictures, products and videos of the service you intend to provide or the product you are trying to sell. That way, you can build a data base of people that will share your posts to their friends and therefore create the never ending chain. Most of these social media sites have seamlessly mobile integration so people whether it is a portable PC, a desktop, tablet or mobile phone get always connected with media in a way that you should take advantage of. People log in to Facebook, in any situation, while commuting, in the park, at home, at school, at work. Then you’re there, promoting your business for it to be displayed in the news feeds, and you would be there, constantly doing the mind trick game to the point that people will find something attractive and worth checking according to their interests. Many big corporations like Starbucks, Microsoft, Apple, Rockstar, Pepsi etc. are doing the same, and it works perfectly!
Blogs are an easy way for people to communicate in a semi-professional way when it comes to quality of content. Quality content is always the key to a good writing and therefore, a good blogging. There are many blogger CMS (content management service) where you can get yours up and running for free in less than 5 minutes, some of these are Blogger, WordPress and probably the most user friendly one, Tumblr. One of the tricks here is knowing your audience, your market, who you are targeting and what you want to accomplish with that. Now this has to do with some SEO or Search Engine Optimization knowledge, which is in other words, using the right keywords to rank as high as possible in a search engine i.e. Google, Bing. It has to be related to your posts and at the same time, you have to make sure you use a keyword search tool to check the competition and number of search this given keyword has. The lowest the competition and highest number of searches it gets in a month, the more convenient for you. If you were to advertise your website holding a service of technical support chat, you would have to make the keywords very specific so people that are looking for your service would find you first. It is, for example technical support for Windows, then you’ll have to include specific words, as going a little more straight to the point. Since the competition would be really high and Windows technical support is a wide content, you would focus and go further the specific services your product offers, therefore, adding additional keywords to go straight to the point would be the most successful way to do it and you would rank higher in a search engine and people would find your product easily. From “Technical Support Chat” to “Technical Support Chat for Windows 7 and XP” you can see how we are narrowing the concept of the service you offer making it more specific, detailed and then competition of support for mobile operating systems, cellphones, Mac, iPhone, Windows Vista, Windows 8 and such, are left behind and those sites offering the services you’re not related to won’t steal your chances to be found for people that are merely looking for chat support for Windows 7 and XP. Once understood the keyword concept you can proceed and create content on a blog that would be easy to find on a search engine by including the right tags.
Then we have the Social Media integration again in the blog space. There are many options to share the content of your blog. Many Content Manager Services like Tumblr have the social media buttons to share and like or dislike. You need to look for the options to enable them (in the rare case they are not enabled by default) so every post of yours would have the buttons for share on Tweeter, Google+, Facebook etc. and Reblog within the blogging network you are affiliated to. With great quality and eye catching content you are encouraging people to share your stories on other media sites like the ones mentioned above plus you sharing them and there you have outstanding chances to reach a wider audience.
A fast growing, very popular social media site. With over 340,000,000 tweets a day and around 140,00,000 users worldwide, this platform is pretty appealing to business and companies as well as for celebrities, musicians, actors, everybody! A tweet is a message of 140 characters maximum that one can write and post and followers can read and see any time in their news feeds. Talk about it, interact directly and start new conversations is one of the things that make this platform extremely successful. The way they follow Kim Kardashian and read and talk about everything she tweets in a day, the same way they can do with advertising and marketing campaigns about brands and products of their interest.
140,000,000 users to target the right audience might sound like a difficult task, but seen it from the other side of the coin, that means more potential customers for a business. Once you get into the already mentioned vicious chain of any social media site, things just keep coming along by themselves and first thing you’ll notice is hundreds of hundreds of people engaged in your brand, talking about it, reviewing it and telling others about events, broadcast and such.
Possibly a not so popular platform making it boring for some people, but a very professional and strategic one for the rest. Some people won’t spend long hours chatting or talking to other about silly, trivial things, instead, this social network goes straight to the point. People on Facebook and Twitter for example, follow anyone of their interest for the sake of simply socialize as well as businesses and companies, but Linkedin is intended to filter and leave the fun behind to focus deeper in professionalism in social media.
In Linkedin, you can be part of the people looking for a job/ service, or part of a company offering a job/ service. You can create either a personal profile with your professional information about yourself, studies, contact information, interests, certifications, identifications etc. or, create a business or company page, same way as you do it on Facebook or Twitter sufficing the same purpose: share information about your brand, service, product and keep your audience and followers up to date with the latest information about your company.
YouTube is a very interesting platform. People go watch videos of any kind or gets redirected by any website that has a backlink to it or search engines. Once people is there on a given there you have some more “Related Videos” on a column on the right side of the screen. Clicking from video to video makes you find things you never thought you would find, interesting topics, funny videos, how-to kind of videos, publicity etc. Your chances to be seen are overwhelming and you can also get people subscribe to your Channel, which is in other terms, your own YouTube space where you upload your videos. Some people find it way more interesting and easier to just watch a video rather than reading a whole article. You have the resource of visuals. If you were to promote fashion clothes and that is the purpose of your whole social media marketing, you can, along with other options, upload a video with people modeling your clothes, redirect people to your main business site, recommend people to share your video, to subscribe for future video updates, to visit your “fashion blog”, like your page on Facebook, follow you on Tweeter, Google+, Linkedin, etc. Close your eyes and try to visualize the Tree Diagram of the whole Social Media marketing strategy and how it gets to potentially reach every single corner of the World Wide Web. Ambitious, isn’t it?
A fairly new comer on the social media site battle, Google+ offers integration of a variety of services including Gmail, Google+ Basics, Google+ Circles that let you share information or “statuses” in a way Facebook does, but has less popularity so far. You have the “Stream” feature similar to Facebook’s News Feed that would let you see what others are up to, an option for following very similar as well to Tweeter.
The service is very appealing to professionals and business networks because of the exclusivity and integration of services. You create a Gmail account for example, and unless you disable it, by default you have access to all these service and a profile ready to be edited with a picture, contact information, etc. You have access to the whole Google+ network including already mention Gmail, YouTube, You+, Circles, Basics and even the well-known search engine saving and displaying results to the most relevant things to you. It is convenient to have a spare Google+ account for any Social Media Marketer because it’s potential functionality and because no source is too little or too much in marketing. Might not have the same impact, a 30 seconds ad on TV than a small billboard on a bus, but the more you get the message sent the better results you will accomplish.
70% of the links search users click on are organic. 46% of all searches are for information about products or services. Half of all local searches are performed on mobile devices. 66% of new customers use search and online research to find local businesses. There are 863 million websites globally that mention “SEO.” There are 9.1 million searchs conducted including the acronym each month, with the top two phrases being “SEO services” and “SEO company.” More than 60,000 Twitter users include “SEO” in their bios, there have been 13 million blog posts published that include “SEO” in the title, and Amazon.com carries almost 2,700 different books about SEO 75% of searchers never scroll past the first page of results. 93% of online experiences begin with a search engine. B2B companies that maintain active content like blogging and SEO programs increased their total website traffic, on average, by 25% in the past year, while those who neglected SEO experienced an average 15% decline in overall visits. 21% of all time spent online is spent on web searches. The big three search engines Google, Bing and Yahoo! are among the five most-visited sites on the Internet. Considering that AOL is #7 and Ask is #10; five of the top 10 most-visited sites on the web are search engines.
In conclusion, Social Media Marketing is a field where professionals and amateurs in advertising can come across and put their own ideas and plans implementing their own techniques. There is no Social Media Marketer university or college degree, this knowledge that should be acquired by extensive research, it needs to be constantly employed and tested in the desired field. It is a revolutionary strategy that has taken down the old TV advertising tactics shifting it to the online market. The percentage of people that prefer to go online on a computer or capable device versus people that watches TV grows steadily every single day. Statistics show Social Media Marketing in a lower impact percentage compared to the legacy ways for advertising, but the potential it has and room for growth is in no doubt overwhelming and could be much more improved and interactive than TV has been for the past decades.

Oreo has officially made its debut on the Android Distribution chart, flying in at a massive 0.2%! Considering it’s only available for a handful of devices, this low number was somewhat expected, but it’s still a little disappointing and reminds us that updates continue to be a pain point for Android users. Regardless, Oreo!
As for the other Android versions, Nougat now sits at 17.8% (up from 15.8%), Marshmallow is at 32% (down from 32.2%), Lollipop is at 27.7% (down from 28.8%), KitKat is at 14.5% (down from 15.1%), Jelly Bean is 6.6% (down from 6.9%), and Gingerbread is still kicking at 0.6% (no change).

Last February, Archbishop Richard Smith of Edmonton stated clearly that Covenant Health will not participate in acts of euthanasia or assisted suicide.
physicians and other health-care workers will not be forced to take part in this procedure if it goes against their beliefs. She said procedures are being set up to move patients, if necessary.
"We're working to set out a framework of protocols and processes to ensure that if a patient in a facility where medical assistance in dying is not available, that there will be a process in place for transfer of care likely through Alberta Health Services,"
Payne stated that this framework for transferring patients will be in place by June 6.
Covenant Health has proven that protecting Conscience rights requires a clear and united position by health care professionals and institutions. Thank you Covenant Health.

Entering a new market is a crucial step. It’s true for multi-billion dollar conglomerates, and its also true for service-based businesses with revenues between $1M and $50M.
Yet, quite a lot of companies are unable to perform a comprehensive analysis of the market they’re thinking of entering. From the potential size of the market to the behaviors and strategies needed to grow in that market, there’s a lot to cover on assessing new market.
While the basics of market research remain the same, companies should also look towards opportunities to creating a new market. Something along the lines of what Apple did with the iPad. As an entrepreneur seeking to expand your business by tapping into new markets, you should understand that the assessment of market-growth opportunities requires considerable thought and effort.
What is the market’s current size? And what is its potential size? Will the market expand or contract, and why?
Conservatively speaking, how much market share can we take and what’s that worth to our company in terms of finance and other factors?
How well do our services fit in the market? Is it possible to create a new market for our services?
What are the new market’s buying habits and how can these be exploited?
What are the different market segments? Do we need to enter in all or just a few of these segments? Which segments are expanding and which are shrinking?
Who will be our competitors in the new market? Why do customers buy from these market players? And above all, what do we need to do to make them buy from us?
What sort of margins are expected in the new market and how do these compare to the overall margins in our company?
Which customer organizations should we target first?
As you can see from these insightful questions, its imperative that you have a clear understanding of what your company will be bringing to the market. Moreover, you should understand the market’s external forces.
In addition to common sense, critical thinking and analysis goes into a sound market assessment. Having said that, don’t over-think your decision to enter a market. The fact remains that it’s practically impossible to know each and everything about a certain market.
The key is to ask the right questions and spend appropriate time and energy to obtain the answers. Once you have the answers, review them and make an informed decision.

WHY DO DRUGS WORK SO FAST AND NUTRIENTS TAKE LONGER? It is easier and faster to poison something than to fix it slowly and carefully. Drugs often poison your enzyme systems while nutrients make your enzyme systems work better.
GenZone Age Management Medicine (GenZone AMM) is a unique program designed to measure, treat, and delay the aging process. We will all age and died one day, but how soon, and to what extent that happens is determined by several known factors. Preventing aging or healthy living is just like preventing any disease. Aging can be delayed and even reversed. No one wants to live forever, but most of us would like to live our “Golden years” free from the disease and frailty that we commonly see. We call that healthy aging.
In order to reap the rewards of optimizing your health and delaying the aging process, we offer a customized individualized program consisting of proper diet, exercise, hormonal replacement, and prescription medication as necessary. We use a number of specific Healthy–Aging Assessment Modalities and Biomarkers of Aging.We do Comprehensive Blood Panels including hormones, lipids, cholesterol and thyroid profiles, food and allergy sensitivity testing, genetic testing and cancer screening as indicated. GI Analysis for bacteria can be performed, along with DXA Scans for osteoporosis and body composition. We provide vitamins, nutraceuticals and supplements including our premier line called BodyFood, plus exclusive products like TA 65 and Celergen, for the privacy and convenience of our patients. We work with the best labs to evaluate blood, saliva, buccal swabs, urine and stool to get the most information and individualize treatment.
Aging is inevitable, but how you age is not. GenZone Age Management Medicine (GZAMM) is your gateway to next-generation medical science… a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to managing your aging process.
Forget conventional thinking about aging, and diagnose-and-treat philosophies. GZAMM shifts the emphasis from disease-driven medicine to an innovative, health-focused practice. GZAMM’s Medical Director, Dr Mahl helps you take control of the aging process and improve your health span.
First you have to focus on discovery – getting real answers to your specific health concerns. That’s where we come in. We travel far beyond the conventional approach of quick, routine exams and generalized estimates, based on body type, gender and age. Instead, we get down to the truth about your unique situation, starting with a comprehensive evaluation – an extremely thorough set of diagnostics that establishes your personal metabolic and physical baseline and current biological age – how old you really are. We rely on this evidenced-based data to see the big picture, uncovering your strengths and weakest health links.
Next, Dr Mahl and his staff partner with you, creating a multi-faceted program that meets your health goals and successfully manages your aging process. Each program is tailored to your needs and goals. Therefore, your program plan will be unlike the patient before you and the ones who follow. You stay in control, making informed decisions from solid medical evaluations and experience.
Research shows our synergistic whole-life approach helps individuals restore and maintain optimal health so they live well longer. At GenZone Age Management Medicine, we keep your health on course, tracking progress, reviewing test results, discussing examinations and determining adjustments to your personal program along the way.
As a result, you enjoy youthful aging, living out your years with vitality, vigor and a higher quality of life – with improved cognitive functions, enhanced libido, lean body mass, decreased body fat, better skin tone, improved cholesterol scores, a stronger immune system and healthier bones.
Our medical strategies have helped men and women across the country regain their edge. You can count on progressive, evidence-based health solutions, delivered by Dr. Mahl and his Associates.
We call this healthy aging.
With few exceptions, people age at a similar rate until they reach their late twenties or mid thirties. Then most people reach a turning point – a transition from “growing” into “aging”. In general, each biologic function begins to decrease in the transition. There is enormous variation among individuals, as they age, in the rate of decline of biologic function. Biologic age is an estimate of an individual’s level of biologic functioning compared to others at different chronological ages. The individual who makes unhealthy choices may actually function and biologically be aging at the same level as someone 15-20 years older. The question is how can you be one of those people who function and age biologically at a level equivalent to someone who is many years younger than you?
Presently, the degenerative diseases of aging are humankind’s greatest challenge: cancer, heart attack, stroke, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease prematurely kill and disable millions of people worldwide. in the United States alone, eliminating the number of deaths from many of these diseases would result in hundreds of billions of dollars returned to the economy, not including the savings in medical costs. Imagine how wonderful it would be if a pharmaceutical company developed a pill which could cure 60-70% of all aging-related diseases. Yet that is the percentage of cancers that are preventable in this country, according to the American Cancer Society. they estimate, for example, that 90,000 deaths due to cancer could be preventable each year in the U.S. if men and women did nothing more than maintain normal weight. Equally compelling available evidence demonstrates the possibility to prevent a similar percentage of amy other aging-related diseases, including heart attacks, strokes, and diabetes. It would appear that the diseases and diminished function experienced by many people from aging are far more related to a lifetime of unenlightened choices than they are to the ticking of a clock.
Screening, health risk assessment and early intervention for the improvement of physiological, cognitive, emotional, and physical functioning offer possible and significant increases to one’s “health expectancy.” A comprehensive approach to preventive-aging should include equal attention to optimum nutrition and appropriate nutritional supplementation, exercise and fitness, hormone balance, healthy lifestyle changes, and stress-response management. Any preventive-aging strategy should strive to build the body’s reserve capacity, improve functional ability, and reestablish balance in the body and the mind. The moment to act is now. While you cannot go back and make a new start, you can start today to make a new ending.
HGH is critical for tissue healing, muscle growth, bone strength, brain function, physical and mental health, energy, and metabolism. A shortage of HGH accelerates processes that most people would prefer to slow down.
hgh001Our Age Management Medical Protocol includes medically supervised Human Growth Hormone (HGH) therapy, Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT), and Testosterone Replacement Therapy treatments that utilize the latest advances in medicine.
HGH is a protein hormone, composed of 191 amino acids, that is synthesized and secreted by cells called somatotrophs. It is produced in the anterior pituitary, a gland attached to the hypothalamus, which is at the base of the brain. HGH, like testosterone and estrogen, decreases with age. Starting in our 20s, HGH secretion declines 10-20% each decade. By age 50, you only secrete 25% as much as the average 20-year-old. By age 60, you produce very little HGH. This decrease in HGH speeds up the aging process and increase the symptoms of Adult Onset Growth Hormone Deficiency. In women, it signals menopause and tin men, it signals male menopause, or andropause.
HCGChemically, it is a polypeptide -glycoprotein molecule, which acts like the anterior pituitary hormone called luteinizing hormone (LH). Luteinizing hormone is the normal primary activator for Testosterone synthesis by acting on the Leydig cell receptors. Human chorionic gonadotropin is an analog to LH (it acts like LH and fits into Leydig cell receptors) and activates Leydig cells to make Testosterone. Leydig cells are only found in the testes and are the only cells of significance in the body to produce testosterone. They are also called testicular interstitial cells since they are found in the testes between sperm producing cells. If the Leydig cells are sufficient in number and are functional, you should see an increase in serum Testosterone.
There can be significant positive mood change and quality of life feeling with use of HCG. This may occur even when the Testosterone levels are not greatly elevated. Those with functional Leydig cells can experience increased libido, morning erections, better erections and greater energy. Even pain levels may diminish with hCG use.

Even urban cities in China have the occasional wildlife surprises. I found this 20cm long beauty by the door of our flat yesterday. I moved it to some nearby bushes to give it a chance of survival and it was still there when JD returned form Kindergarten, much to his delight. Although stick insects are renowned for their slow moving I think this one was especially lethargic due to the recent cold snap here. Otherwise he looked pretty healthy.

Custard is a saucy dish that was traditionally prepared with cream, milk, and eggs. Today everyone found too many ways of making a custard but we have found the simplest and easiest way to make it.
Here’s a recipe to make your fruit custard more healthy and delicious. So here we go!
Meanwhile, add custard powder to a small cup and add 3 to 4 tbsp of milk to it. Stir well. Make sure it is free from any lumps.
When the milk turns hot, pour 2 tbsp of the mix and stir well to prevent lumps.
Keep stirring and cook on a low to medium heat until the custard turns thick.
Switch off the stove and whisk it well to make it smooth. Cover immediately.
Cool it completely and serve chill.
Whisk the custard well before serving. This ensures even and smooth custard.
Peel and chop the fruits to bite easily. Add them to serving bowl or individual serving cups.
Pour the custard over the fruit and mix gently.

In a statement that will gladden the hearts of our many local fly screen installers and swimming pool cleaners, Mojacar townhall has issued a list of ways that “local citizens can help reducing mosquitos”.
Most of the pointers seem to be about installing fly screens and keeping your swimming pool / fuente clean.
As usual, Lokimica SA has won the contract to spray the area with a larvicide to kill off the mosquito larvae. They will shortly be flying around in their helicopter and their 4×4, spraying out clouds of the stuff.
However, before we get too excited, Mojacar has only paid for 1,000 litres of larvicide, according to La Voz – in 2008, it seems they paid for around 3,500 litres. (Clever stuff, only kills off mosquito larvae it seems).
So, despite the fact that it’s been the wettest winter for years and now it’s quickly warming up (ideal mosquito conditions) the townhall has cut back, heavily, on the spraying.
What, don’t mosquitos breed in a recession? If you want to save cash, how about getting rid of one or two of the 198 people (allegedly) working at the townhall?

Different people have varying thresholds for pain. Most of us subject ourselves to long hours of work, often with little food to eat, and with short periods of rest. Little do we know that these conditions contribute greatly to stress and the deterioration of the body? In times when too much activity is done, a person ends up with pain in various parts of the body.
Pain is felt when the brain releases the chemical, prostaglandin. This is the body’s natural reaction when it feels or experiences a possible danger or threat to safety. An example of which is feeling a burn on the hand when one touches a hot stove or iron. The pain signals the person to withdraw his hand from the source of danger.
However, there are instances when pain is felt long after the activity is done, such as back pain or muscle aches after a long day at work, or after several hours of playing sports and exercising. The pain felt in these scenarios are indicative of possible injury, damage to some tissues, nerves, or blood vessels because of strenuous activity. Pain can also be a sign of more serious conditions, those that are not easily treatable by household remedies.
Pain management as the name suggests, is to get relief from pain. Acute pain can be addressed quickly and brought under control whereas chronic pain is associated with complex conditions and hence difficult to control quickly. Sometimes pain is felt even though the root cause of the problem has been healed. In such cases, pain is delinked from the original source and treated separately to lessen the hardship. Pain management can be done best by a combination of medications, physical exercises and psychological measures. Recent advances have made pain manageable better. If the pain is not treated seriously, then it may affect the quality of life and exacerbate other conditions.
CAT scan, MRI scan, ultrasound and X-ray may be used to diagnose the pain. Other specialized tests include bone density test, epi duroscopy (for scar tissue), arthrography for joints, discogram for spinal disc and myelography for spinal cord may be conducted depending on the pain and condition of patient.
People suffering from chronic pain, have to devise ways to circumvent the issue and look for things that lessen the pain, focus on things that help get on with life fully so that they will not be an obstacle to continue a normal life devoid of any negative feelings. Persistence of efforts pays in the long term and help can be solicited from the family and friends to overcome the pain, and solace can be found to the betterment of the patient.
Pain can be experienced in many ways affecting a various parts of the body like low back pain, Myofascial pain(Muscle pain), Neck pain, Wrist pain, body surface pain, joint pain, headaches etc. How does one manage pain?
Patients suffering from pain should clearly spell out the location, duration and mitigating factors and approaching factors completely, to determine the course of action needed to heal it. The underlying pain can be managed by medication like analgesic which only release pain, anti inflammatory drugs for both pain and swelling, headache medications, disease modifying anti rheumatic drugs and anti convulsants. There are non-prescription drugs that people often take to relieve the aches around the body, such as ibuprofen, aspirin, and acetaminophen. Examples of the more popular drugs are Advil and Tylenol. Topical creams for pain relief can also be massaged to an area, especially for muscle pain. An example is Ben-Gay, which contains salicylic acid that gives the cooling and relieving feeling when applied. Local injections specific to a point of a body can also be administered to relieve pain. Physical therapy can be advised - like stretching exercises to improve movement, resolve deformities and alleviate pain. Massage can be applied to lessen back pain, neck pain and head aches. Meditation will be advised to improve body and mind cohesion. Application of heat may be recommended to loosen the stiffness of the joints and relax the muscles. Similarly application of cold may reduce inflammation in the affected part. Sometimes electric shocks are administered to rejuvenate the nerves and muscles. Surgery is done as a last step if the above treatments fail. Surgeries include joint replacement, spinal surgery and wrist surgery. If the surgery is performed inevitably, post operative care should be taken. The actual site of surgery would have an affect on the post operative pain a patient may suffer. If the surgery is small and recovery is assured, the pain would be less. In case of major surgery and recovery chances unknown, then the pain would increase fearing the unknown and the recovery takes a long time. Psychological help should be given to patient overcome and over whelmed by frustration and helpless ness.
Aside from using medication, a person can do a few lifestyle changes in order to avoid the feeling of pain after regular activities. When at home, try to sit on padded chairs that can support the back and buttocks well. A better mattress or firmer pillows may be needed to prevent backaches or headaches when waking up in the morning. Light bulbs can be changed if they tend to be too dim, to avoid getting constant headaches and migraines due to vision trouble. At the office, especially for persons who sit for long periods of time at their desks, it is advisable to stand up and stretch every so often.
Eating the proper diet and maintaining good health habits also keeps a person away from feeling pain. When one wishes to do regular exercises or sports activities, he or she should first do warm-up exercises before engaging in them. After the activity, a cool-down exercise should also be performed. This helps avoid the delayed onset of muscular pain.

Hello, I need to know where the frame VIN is located on a 58 Olds. I am trying to title one, but they'll most likely need to look at the frame VIN at the time of inspection. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you for the lead, but unfortunately the car HAS to be a 4 door sedan or hardtop. For some reason finding a nice original is kind of tough.
Just note of caution, I think the LeSabre's inner fenders are different than the Wildcat's, unless your LeSabre is a wagon. The LeSabre non-wagons did not come with the 401, and the battery is on the passenger side inner fender, whereas the Wildcat/Electra/Estate wagon has the battery on the driver's side. The LeSabre wagons came with the 401s, and the front inner structure is the same as the upper series cars. The LeSabre's inner fenders are also built a little different than the W/E/Wagon's as well.
Hello, I am looking for a nice original rust-free (or as near as possible) 57 Fairlane 500 4 door sedan or hardtop. I do not want a 2 door, and it HAS to be a Fairlane 500. Color doesn't matter as much as originality, but I really like them in green or yellow. I would really like a nice running/driving original car, but not a super low mile high dollar car, just a reasonably priced decent clean original with original interior. I absolutely love the looks of these cars in a 4 door, and just want one for a daily commuter.
Hello, I am really, REALLY, wanting to find a couple NOS diecast moldings for a stick-shift 64 Wildcat coupe I am restoring. Other than these few items, the all of the exterior trim of my car is NOS, so I am basically begging for some help. What I need are: 1. Left door lower diecast ribbed molding 2. Right door lower diecast ribbed molding 3. Left Quarter lower diecast ribbed molding, in front of the wheel arch 4. (5) fender Ventiports. I have one, but need a total of 6. Is there anyone out there that can help? I have been looking for these parts for a few years now, and sadly nothing has come up yet. Any leads are GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.
Electra, What should I do with it ?
I wouldn't part it. Looks too solid and complete. If you sell it, let me know, I'd be interested in it. I love the 60 Buicks.
This one's easy for me. I have always said the 63-64 Buick Electra 63-64 Oldsmobile 98 are very underrated. I am not saying this is a bad thing, though, as you can find a very nice unrestored fully operational loaded one of these for under $5000, sometimes they are almost give-away priced. I love the way these two cars drive down the highway, and have personally put over 120,000 miles on a 64 Electra coupe with no, and I am serious, no major mechanical problems other than needing some brake pads and general tune-up stuff. These cars look great in convertibles, coupes, and 4 doors. The 64 98 and 64 Electra 4 door 4 window hardtop is a great and sporty looking car. 1960 Edsels are also underrated to me. Yes, I know, it is a 60 Ford with a goofy grille and stretched 60 Pontiac taillights, but unless it is a convertible, their prices don't reflect their obscenely low production numbers. There are definitely more, but these are the two that first jump to mind.
I am looking for a set of 50 98 fender skirts for my 98 sedanette. If anyone has a nice set, please let me know. Thank you.

Two innovative thinkers at the Hospital Association of Southern California were responsible for dreaming up National Health Foundation, 44 years ago, as a way to extend the impact the association could have on improving healthcare. Since then, NHF has been working closely with stakeholders on a variety of health issues. However, just as the field of public health has evolved over the years, so has National Health Foundation. Today our approach is more at the community level, while retaining that connection to hospitals.
Working so closely with community members has given National Health Foundation insight into health experiences and disparities, and their very root causes. This insight has lead National Health Foundation to where it is today, with a new mission and vision that focus on remedying health inequities by taking action on the social determinants of health.
Never before has National Health Foundation been more entrenched in the communities it seeks to serve. And one would argue because of that, never before has National Health Foundation had such clear, direct impact on the health of Southern Californians.
National Health Foundation works within communities to identify and advance solutions that remove barriers and promote health for all who live there.
Research has demonstrated that one of the clearest determinants of health –and health disparities– is where people live. A person’s physical environment, employment opportunities, community safety, and access healthcare providers, (and more) all impact health and are local in nature. The largest health disparities emerge in neighborhoods experiencing poverty and in communities of color. These social determinants can help or hinder a person’s ability to make healthy decisions. People are not homeless; they experience homelessness. People suffering from diabetes may understand what they should be eating, but it does not matter if they cannot purchase fresh produce in their own neighborhood. Physical fitness might be a top priority for everyone, but crime and unlit parks might prevent that from happening. Health starts where people live, learn, work and play.
National Health Foundation is committed to addressing the root causes of health disparities by working hand in hand with communities. We empower teens and adults to advocate for their health and identify needed changes in their neighborhoods. Then we help develop and support the community’s vision of health by cultivating partnerships to deliver programs and services that are empathetic and inclusive. We observe, measure and learn, and repeat as needed.
Because health begins long before that visit to the doctor. It begins where we live, learn, work and play.
On any given night, there are 46,000 Angelenos without a home. Of those, more than 29,000 have severe health issues requiring some level of care. Without a home, these individuals experience insurmountable barriers to health and healing.
In the 6 square miles that make up Historic South Central Los Angeles, there are no gyms and there is only 0.4 acres of park space for the 103,000 people who call the area home. Liquor stores outnumber grocery stores and there are no farmer’s markets. Without opportunities for safe outdoor play and places to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables, this community will continue to experience higher than average rates of obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
High school can be a trying time, but for students who are pregnant, parenting, or at risk of becoming pregnant, the challenges are far greater. The impact of pregnancy on health is compounded in communities where poverty and a lack of maternal care are common.
If National Health Foundation accomplished its mission, everyone in Southern California would have the opportunity to experience health and would live in a community that supports a healthy lifestyle. That would include a home for every person, access to fresh, healthy foods, opportunities for safe, outdoor physical fitness, and so much more. We have already seen communities take great strides in tackling their negative social determinants, but really, we have only scratched the surface of these issues.
Together we can address the social, physical and environmental barriers to better health. Together we can uncover the reasons these barriers are perpetuated in low-income communities and communities of color. And together we can work, hand-in-hand, to solve these problems and improve health for ourselves and for our neighbors.
National Health Foundation is addressing the social determinants of health using a number of research-proven strategies. We are targeting Food Access, with an emphasis on increasing the availability of health and fresh foods in under-resourced communities, Housing, with a focus on providing shelter and care for individuals who have been released from the hospital, the Built Environment, prioritizing the removal of the barriers to health in the Historic South Los Angeles community, and Education, with a focus on risk prevention and support for pregnant and parenting teens to complete their education.

MiFID II compliant telephone recording!
Ten years after passing the “Markets in Financial Instruments Directive” (MiFID) to regulate financial markets in April 2004, European policymakers implemented a completely updated second set of directives, known as MiFID II, on 15 May 2014.
The new directive establishes a regulatory framework for firms providing investment services in Europe and it also impacts trade regulations of the European financial markets.
In addition, the directive augments security and reliability by creating more transparency for government regulators and contributes to the harmonisation efforts in Europe. It bolsters consumer protection and is designed to heighten the transparency and integrity of the financial marketplace.
MiFID II has entered into force on 3 January 2018. The requirements of MiFID II are extensive. The corresponding organisational and operational compliance activities to be implemented involve various operational divisions.
MiFID II stipulates new centralised organization- and conduct-related standards which compel investment firms to comply with new record keeping requirements. These requirements will not only have an impact on communications with clients but also on internal operations and structures. This includes new requirements for recording telephone conversations, for which no transitional provisions have been stipulated.
The recording of telephone conversations (“taping”) is only one of many major aspects of MiFID II.
The aim of taping calls is to increase safety standards in the marketplace, to provide transparency in detecting abuse and thereby offering investors more comprehensive protection.
Companies in the financial instruments market are required to record all telephone conversations in connection with financial market business.
Investment firms: An investment firm is defined as a legal entity offering one or more investment services to third parties and/or brokering numerous investment deals.
Investment companies acting as liability umbrellas are also obligated to fulfil the requirements for their tied agents.
Investment brokers with a license pursuant to section 34f of the German Industrial Code [Gewerbeordnung] (“34f agents”): Even if investment agents pursuant to section 34f of the German Industrial Code may still be allowed to advise and broker investment funds, they need to meet specific requirements. MiFID II stipulates documentation and recording of phone calls for them as well.
The new recording requirements and corresponding organisational adjustments should not be underestimated. Instead they should be dealt with early on, especially considering the fact that a breach of the obligations may result in substantial fines.
According to the ESMA guidelines, usage of a taping service via the MiFID-Recorder constitutes the outsourcing of important operational functions.
Therefore, also the inspection and auditing rights of the responsible authorities vis-à-vis the service providers must be regulated.
The license agreement for the MiFID-Recorder takes this important aspect into account, thus providing legal certainty especially during an audit.

Freeda Foreman has died at the age of 42.
The daughter of legendary boxer George Foreman was found dead in her Texas home on Saturday (March 9), TMZ reports. Cops are reportedly awaiting a report from the coroner's office on the cause of death. However, no foul play is suspected.
Freeda is one of George's five daughters. He also has five sons, all named George.
The 42-year-old wife and mother followed in her father's footsteps, becoming a professional boxer in 2000. However, her career was short lived — she retired in 2001 with a pro record of 5-1. She reportedly called it quits to focus on being a mother. There were also rumors her father paid her to quit because he and her mother didn't want her boxing.
Freeda is survived by her husband, two daughters, three grandchildren, her parents and 11 siblings.

Associate Professor Therese O’Sullivan, an accredited practicing dietician and lecturer at Edith Cowan University, recently shared some helpful tips with us, for those living with rheumatoid arthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis, also known as RA, is the second most common arthritis after osteoarthritis. It affects more women than men, and is most likely to start at a younger age than osteoarthritis, often starting between the ages of 20 and 45 years.
RA is an autoimmune condition resulting in inflammation, which can damage joint cartilage, tendons, ligaments and bones – hands are commonly affected. This inflammation can cause debilitating pain, along with feelings of heat, stiffness and a loss of function of the affected joint.
It can be very frustrating to have RA and no one knows exactly what triggers it. Flare ups of RA, despite being very painful, are not necessarily ‘visible’ and people can appear completely normal from an outsider’s perspective. You may find people rush to help you with carrying bags if you have your arm in a sling, but this isn’t the case with a flare up of RA!
Medications for RA have been improving and can be very effective in managing the condition. For a person living with RA, it may take a lot of trial and error to find the best medication regime. Unfortunately, sometimes a person with RA can find an ideal regime and be symptom free for years, and then wake up one day with a flare up and have to start all over again as that medication is no longer effective.
We are also learning more about how diet can help symptoms of RA, particularly around reducing inflammation and preventing malnutrition.
Although there is no specific diet that is recommended for RA, a 2018 review published in Rheumatology International by the University of Canberra identified beneficial effects of the Mediterranean diet in improving function and pain in people living with RA. The Mediterranean diet is based on the traditional diet in the countries surrounding the Mediterranean Sea, such as Greece, Italy, and Spain. This diet is high in olive oil, fruits, vegetables, legumes (like chickpeas and lentils), nuts, seeds, fish and herbs and spices. It is low in processed foods, added sugars, salt and red meat.
Extra-virgin, cold pressed olive oil is a key aspect of the Mediterranean diet, and may also help reduce inflammation in the same way that ibuprofen can. Olive oil contains a compound called oleocanthal that can block inflammation causing enzymes. To ensure your oil stays as fresh as possible, use within 2 months from opening, keep the lid on when not in use and store in a cool dark place.
Cold pressed olive oil is an important aspect of the Mediterranean Diet.
A focus on fish and vegetables over red meat is another key feature of the Mediterranean diet. Vegetables are recommended at each meal, with at least two servings of fish (150-200g serves per week) with a focus on oily fish such as mackerel and salmon. Red meat is limited to smaller portions, only once or twice a week.
Some medications taken to control the disease can cause nausea and loss of appetite. Cold foods may be more palatable than hot foods if feeling nauseous, and liquid meals or oral nutrition supplements (such as Sustagen or Ensure) may be better tolerated during these periods. Some medications can also interact with nutrients, for example methotrexate blocks the action of folic acid and folate supplements are required.
Joint pain can make cooking and eating extremely difficult. Keeping a variety of meals in the freezer can come in handy. Services such as Meals on Wheels can deliver meals to suit your requirements. There is now a variety of equipment available to help make food preparation more achievable for those with RA. A wide range of specialised knives, jar openers, plates, and eating utensils are available online (www.ArthritisSupplies.com has a wide range). Although expensive, a kitchen machine that can stir and cook (such as a Thermomix) is useful to reduce pressure on hand and wrist joints. An occupational therapist who specialises in RA will be able to advise on home modifications to improve working in the kitchen.
During flare ups, wear a wrist brace or bandage the affective joint – this makes it more visible. Others are more likely to offer to help and not bump the affected area.
Ask for groceries to be packed lightly (bring more bags) – this makes them easier to move in and out of the car.
People with RA often feel tired, but keeping active is still important. Physiotherapy, occupational therapy and podiatry can help improve joint function and stiffness, and improve quality of life.
