Arbonne Protein Shakes & Powder Reviews: TESTED In [2019]
December 30, 2019 By Julia
If you're thinking about trying one of the many meal supplements, replacements, or protein powders or shakes on the market today, you know there are a lot of choices.
When trying to figure out which one is right for you, your body, and your weight loss or dietary goals, it can be overwhelming.
Besides reconciling the intricacies of the competition and trying to understand Arbonne vs Isagenix, what to think about Beachbody, and all the rest, there are a few important things you should consider.
We thoroughly researched the Arbonne protein shakes for weight loss and Arbonne protein powder. We went through testimonials and case studies and verified how people looked and felt before and after using each product.
We aggregated the customer reviews, and poured over the ingredients lists to determine whether they are as healthful and good for you as they say they are. In addition to ingredients and nutritional value, we also looked at price and taste, and dug specifically into Arbonne shakes vs Shakeology.
One thing we know is that the Arbonne protein boost is convenient and easy to incorporate into your daily smoothie or breakfast routine.
Here's what else we found.
Who is Arbonne and what are their products?
Arbonne is a well established company that has been providing nutritional and personal care products since 1987. You purchase their products through a representative, or what they call a consultant, which is a distribution and sales model known as multi-level marketing (MLM).
They describe their health products as being scientifically tested, naturally inspired, and made from botanical ingredients.Product lineup consists of ready-made shakes, shake mixes, and a protein boost powder.
They provide recipes you can use for variety, so you don't get tired of the same old thing. And in addition to the chocolate protein powder, they also have vanilla.
Now, let's take a closer look at each of the three and what they do and don't contain.
How many calories do they contain?
Between the three, the ready-to-drink shakes have the highest number of calories at 180 per serving.
The shake mix is a close second at 160, and the daily boost is less than a third of either at only 50 calories a serving.
When looking at calories, however, you should always look also at sugar and fat content because what the calories are made up of are as, if not more, important than the total number.
What about sugar and fat?
Again, the shakes have the most sugar of all three, and both the shakes and shake powder contain more sugar per serving than many similar products amongst the competition.
A single shake has 11 grams of sugar per serving.
The shake mix has 9.
A standout in the lineup, and one that is excellent in the sugar category, is the daily boost powder, which has zero grams of sugar per serving.
You'll start to see a pattern here when we look at fat. You guessed it.
The shake has the most fat with five grams per serving. The shake mix has three. The boost powder has only one gram of fat per serving.
How much protein does each have?
The amount in both the shake and shake mix is 20 grams per serving. And there are 10 grams in the daily boost. These high levels per serving are definitely an area where Arbonne sets itself apart from the competition. E
Ensuring your supplement or meal replacement contains a lot of protein is crucial for building muscle, powering your exercise regimen, and helping to boost your metabolism and burn calories.
The protein sources that Arbonne uses are also important because all proteins are not created equal. All three are made up of rice, cranberry, and pea protein.
These all natural—and as they are branded, botanical—ingredients are healthful, chock full of antioxidants, and vegan. When looking at the options, the protein content and quantity are hard to match.
Arbonne Shakes vs. Shakeology
Shakeology might be the most advertised, marketed, and well known of the meal replacement.
It has grown in popularity quite extensively over the last few years due in part to its marketing strategy, which is similar to that of Arbonne's multi-level approach.
If you've heard or read anything about them, chances are good it's that the shakes taste great and that they're more affordable than a meal out at Starbucks or McDonald's.
When we looked at Shakeology against Arbonne, however, we found that Shakeology has quite a few downsides as well.
Support. Shakeology offers coaches to talk to and consult with as you move through your weight loss, fitness, and wellness journey. This puts them ahead by a nose in the community support department.
Calories. Shakeology is relatively low in calories, pretty much on par with Arbonne's protein shake powder. Both deliver 160 calories per serving. A definite line in the pro column when looking at shakes and shake powder, but it doesn't match up to the Arbonne boost powder, which is only 50 calories per serving.
Superfoods. Shakeology is hard to compete with when it comes to truly natural and healthful ingredients. The superfood quotient is significant, as it contains chia, flax, pea, quinoa, and whey.
Andy research has shown that whey protein is beneficial for weight loss and suppressing appetite. They're also loaded with antioxidants like pomegranate, rose hips, acerola cherry, goji berry, green tea, bilberry, and vitamins A, E, and C.
Taste. We're giving taste a push for both. Shakeology and Arbonne both taste great, and aren't gritty, so you can't go wrong with either. In this category, they're neck and neck.
Shakeology shakes are fairly low in fiber, an essential ingredient for a healthy diet. With only four grams per serving, this isn't an ideal target when you're attempting a well-rounded healthy diet.
Shakeology is in the same boat, however, when it comes to fiber, and in fact comes in even lower at two grams per serving. So, when matched head-to-head, neither win high marks in the fiber department.
Like we mentioned, if you've heard anything about Shakeology, you've probably heard how affordable their program is.
When you break it down, it's actually quite the opposite. Shakeology comes out to $4.30 per serving, compared to Arbonne, which is about $2.50. This is almost half as much.
Arbonne Shakes Conclusion
Overall, we like the Arbonne protein shakes and powders for their price, taste, and calorie count, especially the protein boost powder. Shakeology is a close second in many areas.
It comes out ahead on a couple of factors, especially if you're into superfoods, you're after community support and participation, and price is not an issue.


(Oslo, 16 September 2011) The minority shareholders in the Ukrainian subsidiary Miratech have exercised their put option in the amount of USD 7.1 million, with the result that EDB ErgoGroup ASA became the owner of 100% of the company's share capital. EDB ErgoGroup subsequently sold 100% of the share capital of Miratech as part of its program to refocus its investment in the Ukraine. These transactions have no profit and loss effect save for a goodwill write-down of NOK 26 million in line with the expected effect communicated in the company's stock exchange announcement of 13 July 2011. The transactions will have a net negative cash effect of USD 1.25 million.
Miratech's activities focus principally on the Ukrainian market. EDB ErgoGroup has stated that it does not have any ambitions in the local Ukrainian market, and for various reasons it would not be appropriate to merge Miratech and Infopulse, hence the sale of the company's shares in Miratech is a natural consequence.
EDB ErgoGroup announced in the second quarter of 2011 that the company had decided to increase its ownership interest in the Ukrainian company Infopulse from 60.1% to 100%, while at the same time agreeing contracts with key employees to retain their services. Infopulse has been an important sourcing partner since the former EDB first acquired its interest in 2007, and EDB ErgoGroup accordingly wishes to have a closer association with the company.
This information is subject to the disclosure requirements stipulated in §5-12 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act.
EDB ErgoGroup ASA is one of the leading Nordic IT companies, with some 10,000 employees and annual turnover approaching NOK 13 billion. The company is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange and operates from headquarters in Oslo with major activities in both the Norwegian and Swedish markets. In all, the company operates from 135 offices in 16 countries around the world.


Dr. Cass Ingram has been on my show more than once, the first time we talked about Oil Of Oreganol P73. I thought, "Well, maybe this stuff works, I don't know for sure." So Dr. Ingram sent me some and it sat in our cabinet for at least a year. Then my wife was complaining of shooting pains near her ear and the only thing I could think of using was the Oil Of Oreganol, we don't have many medications in our medicine cabinet. It was amazing. Her pain went away for about two weeks. When it returned we rubbed a little more on the side of her face, this time it went away for good. I rarely get colds but when I do I rub a little Oil Of Oreganol on the inside of my nostrils (I wouldn't recommend it, it burns) and more than once my nose sniffles stopped and I had no cold whatsoever the next day. Pretty remarkable when you think a cold can last for several days, mine was gone in half a day. So I know that Dr. Ingram is speaking the truth with the products he represents.
This show touches on another product Dr. Ingram is recommending, Hemp Oil or Hemponal. He goes on to explain how it works with your body and is all natural. I've heard from others who have healed themselves from cancer using cannabis oil, well according to Dr. Ingram this product is made from natural hemp, not marijuana, but hemp which was a product that was used by our founding fathers for many things until it was destroyed by Hollywood in the movie Reefer Madness. There were those in competition with hemp wanted to make it appear to be a drug, when in actuality it is superior to rope, paper, and in certain forms can be very beneficial in healing.
Use this is you wish, I am not guaranteeing anything but I do respect and trust Dr. Ingram. We are so conditioned to think that drugs are the only answer but we are so misled.
I haven't talked to Linda Godfrey in a while, I was looking at her sight recently and a couple of things caught my eye. Linda Has become known as one of the foremost investigators of what is called the "dogman" or the "manwolf". A creature that has been spotted by many that looks like a german sheppard, or a wolf, and gets up on it's back legs and runs away. When I first heard of these things years ago I thought it was a joke, after getting to know Linda I realize that rational people are seeing something that can't be easily explained.
On this show we talk a little about the dogman/manwolf, but also the goatman, Missing 411, ufo's, sasquatch and more. Linda has a creepy new book coming out called Monsters Among Us. Linda and I share some experiences and stories we have heard.
Ready to be freaked out?

Prefabricated Metal Buildings
Prefabricated metal buildings have been around for decades. They are a unique combination of durability and architectural finishes. Today's generation of metal buildings are structurally the same as previous generations; however, the architectural options and the aesthetics have greatly expanded. As energy efficiency and "green" building solutions become more important, steel buildings are becoming a more sensible solution.
Pre fabricated metal buildings, also known as building systems, steel buildings, and pre-engineered metal buildings (PEMB) are all engineered, designed and fabricated in a controlled manufacturing environment and then shipped to the job site for assembly or erection.
Identifying a prefabricated metal building company is important, but it is equally as important to identify an organization who will insure it's accurate fabrication, delivery and erection.

Q: Do sending more than 8 element to a channel can result in deadlock? package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "time"
)

func printCount(c chan int) {
    num := 0
    for num >= 0 {
        num = <-c
        fmt.Print(num, " ")

    }
}

func main() {

    a := []int{8, 6, 7, 5, 3, 0, 9, -1, 3, 4}
    // If i use a := []int{8, 6, 7, 5, 3, 0, 9, -1} then it works fine

    c := make(chan int)

    go printCount(c)

    for _, v := range a {

        c <- v

    }

    time.Sleep(time.Second * 1)
    fmt.Println("End of main")
}

I try to send element of the slice to the channel and print it using golang.
Now upto 8 element the program works fine.
As i am adding 9th element in slice then deadlock conditions occures dont know why. I used to solve that by using the waitgroup but still not working.

A: Sending a value through an (unbuffered) channel is always blocking, until it is received somewhere else.
I think your intention here is to send all values and then only print them if they are 0 or greater? You could alter your printCount like this:
func printCount(c chan int) {
    for num := range c {
        if num >= 0 {
            fmt.Print(num, " ")
        }
    }
}

A: Hi just change c := make(chan int) to c := make(chan int, 100)
where 100 is highest capacity of your channel:
package main
import (
    "fmt"
    "time"
)
func printCount(c chan int) {
    num := 0
    for num >= 0 {
        num = <-c
        fmt.Print(num, " ")
    }
}
func main() {
    a := []int{8, 6, 7, 5, 3, 0, 9, -1, 3, 4}
    // If i use a := []int{8, 6, 7, 5, 3, 0, 9, -1} then it works fine
    c := make(chan int, 40)
    go printCount(c)
    for _, v := range a {
        c <- v
    }
    time.Sleep(time.Second * 1)
    fmt.Println("End of main")
}

result:
8 6 7 5 3 0 9 -1 End of main

A: The printCount goroutine exits if a negative value is processed.
More precisely, the value -1 is stopping it.
Here the printCount goroutine is the only goroutine that can read the channel values. When this goroutine exits no more writing are possible in the channel because the channel is unbuffered.
NB: The channel is unbuffered and thus cannot contains any value. A unbuffered channel is a golang idiom to concurrently safe pass values from a goroutine to another synchronously.
Solution
You should read the channel until no more element need to be processed.
No more need to use time.Sleep(time.Second * 1), the printCount is now blocking the main goroutine until finished !

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "time"
)

func printCount(c chan int) {
    // exits if the channel is empty (or unbuffered) and closed.
    for num := range c {
        if num >= 0 {
            fmt.Print(num, " ")
        }
    }
}

func main() {

    a := []int{8, 6, 7, 5, 3, 0, 9, -1, 3, 4}

    c := make(chan int)

    go func(){
        // close the channel after sending the last value
        defer close(c)

        for _, v := range a {

            c <- v

        }
    }()

    printCount(c)

    fmt.Println("End of main")
}

I know that many places offer reading materials in their lounge areas for their guests. Some include International magazines and newspapers. We are planning a similar offering (when we open up?!!), but with a modern twist. We want to make available electronic versions of these articles. (Haven't worked out the details, but will share that later.) My question is: what are some of the more popular newspapers or magazines that clients want to read? Has anyone ever made note of this? What would you recommend for our hostel? Steve-Rolling River Hostel.
Surely there are far more categories that could be listed (music, art, gossip, politics, etc.) but these are just the few that I remember wanting to subscribe to off the top of my head. In the end we opted for a coffee table book that we thought might stimulate conversations instead.
SKI Magazine(not Maine specific - but a lot of people ski here).
Good point Sampson. Most travelers want to know about the local culture. Setting out the local paper or a magazine about the area is a simple way to introduce them to the surroundings and give them an idea of what's important to the people who live there.
We have plenty of those, including National Geographic, FHM and some Romanian travel magazines in English, but nobody seems to be interested, nor in the book exchange shelf we have here. A few years ago the books were changing very fast, this year, nobody read anything at all... What do your travellers read most?
We have seen a lot of people this year traveling with their Kindle (or other eBook device). All of the smartphones have applications that let you read eBooks too. They're small, lightweight, and you can load as many books as you want before you go or on the road. I wonder if that has made a difference.

Der Standortübungsplatz Höll ist ein Standortübungsplatz und Landschaftsschutzgebiet im Europaschutzgebiet Natura 2000 im Saar-Nahe-Bergland, einem Teilgebiet des Naturpark Saar-Hunsrück. Er befindet sich in der Nähe von Fritschenheck, nahe Donnerhübel bei Steinbach, etwa 6 km von Lebach entfernt.

Der Standortübungsplatz Höll wurde bis 2015 vom Fallschirmjägerbataillon 261 und wird bis heute von der Fernmeldekompanie des Eurokorps und der Luftlandeaufklärungskompanie 260, stationiert in der Graf-Haeseler-Kaserne in Lebach sowie weiteren Teilen des Fallschirmjägerregiments 26 genutzt.

Lage und militärische Infrastruktur
Der Standortübungsplatzes Höll wird von folgenden Ortschaften begrenzt: im Nordosten von Scheuern, im Nordwesten von Neipel und Limbach, im Südwesten von Gresaubach, und im Osten von Steinbach und Dörsdorf. Der Standortübungsplatz hat eine Fläche von 212 Hektar, wovon sich 184 Hektar im Eigentum des Bundes befinden, die restlichen 28 Hektar wurden dazu gepachtet. Auf dem Platz befinden sich, mit dem "Donnerhübel" auf 452 Meter, der "Höll" auf 453 Meter und "Auf dem Lindenberg" mit 460,6 Meter, die höchsten Erhebungen im Landkreis Saarlouis.

Auf dem Platz befinden sich verschiedene Hartziele wie beispielsweise ein M47 Patton Kampfpanzer und ein Beobachtungspanzer Artillerie Hotchkiss Typ 22-2.

Seit August 1986 stehen zwei Übungshäuser zur Verfügung. In diesen wird der Häuserkampf beziehungsweise Close Quarters Battle geübt. Eins der Häuser ist als Brandhaus ausgelegt.

Seit 1990 besitzt der Übungsplatz einen Absetzplatz und einen Zielkreis mit einem Durchmesser von 40 Metern für die Freifaller.

Geschichte
Der Standortübungsplatz bei Steinbach wurde ab 1961 eingerichtet und ab 1962 in Betrieb genommen. Gleich nach der Inbetriebnahme wurde durch das Fallschirmjägerbataillon 261, nach der Rückkehr vom französischen Truppenübungsplatz in La Courtine, im Mai 1962 ein dreiwöchiges Biwak durchgeführt. 1971 fand die erste Luftlandeübung mit einem Hubschrauber des Typs Bell UH-1D auf dem Standortübungsplatz statt. Im Laufe der Jahre fanden auf dem Übungsplatz verschiedene Szenarien, wie Gefechts- und Luftlandeübungen,  Gefechtsvorführungen wie "Flammender Höll" oder "Starker Höll" sowie Ausbildungsmissionen und Tage der offenen Tür ("Tag der Fallschirmjäger") statt.

Die Ausbildung der Hauptkräfte für den Deutschen Unterstützungsverband Somalia wurden durch die Kommandokompanie des Fallschirmjägerbataillons 261 im Mai 1993 ebenfalls auf der Höll durchgeführt.

Im August 2005 waren unter anderem Verteidigungsminister Peter Struck, SPD Parteichef Heiko Maas sowie Verteidigungs-Staatssekretär Hans-Georg Wagner Gäste einer Übung des Fallschirmjägerbataillons 261. In dieser Übung spitzte sich im fiktiven Staat Weilerland unter der Führung des Warlords Jacques Schwenker die Situation so zu, dass eine "bewaffnete Rückführung von Schutzbefohlenen aus Krisensituationen" notwendig wurde. Die Vorführung bestand aus dem Absetzen eigener Kräfte, Versorgung eigener verletzter Kräfte vor Ort mit anschließender MedEvac, bewaffneter Einsatz gegen Aufständische sowie abschließend die Evakuierung deutscher Staatsbürger aus dem Krisengebiet.

Vorrangig wird der Übungsplatz von der Bundeswehr genutzt. Außerhalb des Übungsbetriebs der Bundeswehr ist dies aber auch Behörden und Organisationen mit Sicherheitsaufgaben möglich. Die beiden Übungshäuser werden beispielsweise von Feuerwehren (meist das Brandhaus), dem Technischen Hilfswerk und der Polizei als Trainingsstätte genutzt. Am 13. Dezember 2012 fand auf der Höll die THW-Großübung des Geschäftsführerbereichs Merzig statt. Bei diesem Szenario wurde ein Flugzeugabsturz simuliert, infolgedessen auf rund eineinhalb Quadratkilometern mehr als 250 THW Mitglieder aus 12 Ortsverbänden mit ihren Bergungs- und Fachgruppen zum Einsatz kamen.

Naturschutz, Flora und Fauna
Die Flächen des Standortübungsplatzes stehen nicht für den Pflanzen- oder Ackerbau zur Verfügung, sondern werden lediglich gemulcht und mit etwa 500 Schwarzkopf- und Merinoschafen beweidet. In der Mitte des Standortübungsplatzes liegt ein Weiher mit einem Feuchtraumbiotop an der Mündung.

In dem Fauna-Flora-Habitat sorgen Borstgras- und Pfeifengraswiesen, feuchte Hochstaudenflure sowie Magere Flachland-Mähwiesen für eine große Artenvielfalt. Der stark gefährdete Große Feuerfalter ist auf der Höll heimisch.

Gemäß einer Verordnung des saarländischen Ministeriums für Umwelt und Verbraucherschutz trägt das Gebiet die Bezeichnung "Landschaftsschutzgebiet Steinbach-Truppenübungsgelände".

It is common knowledge that given the small size of most startup teams, everyone has to wear multiple hats during the course of the day. This creates a lot of confusion because even though everyone is pitching in and doing their part ,no one is taking responsibility for any particular business objective.
We may be assigned roles such as head of marketing, finance ,and even CEO. These are great starting points, however, roles need to be defined a lot more specifically. If you pick up a job description of a Head of Marketing role at a Fortune 500 firm, you will see a long list of targets and objectives that the individual is responsible for. However, you rarely see any such job descriptions in early stage startups, where probably only the founders are on the team.
We need to define roles and responsibilities from the very onset of any business venture. When Individuals are not held accountable, the entire team suffers. Clear responsibilities also boost productivity and provide a sense of directiom for everyone on the team. Each individual is not only responsible for their objectives but the overall success of the business.
I had an interesting discussion today with a friend regarding the emotions we experience when we have our backs against the wall. Similar sort of emotions appear right before a big deadline is due. These are the times when your body kicks into an overdrive mode and you become this extremely motivated individual, one who can accomplish great things in very short periods of times. The discussion we had revolved around how we could emulate the emotions which appear in that heightened state , and be able to motivate ourselves to reach the same state without pending deadlines or extreme situations.
A common theme that kept arising was, that in most cases, we reach this heightened state only when there is something critical on the line. It causes us to push ourselves further because of a perceived reward for completing the task, or perhaps even some sort of recognition attached to it, in most cases however, there are fairly limited options available and it often just becomes a 'must' for us to complete the task to get ourselves out of a hole/crisis. Creating similar circumstances is hypothetically quite difficult when these scenarios do not exist. What it all comes down to is self discipline and time management. We concluded that these are the fundamental factors which enable us to achieve more consistent results along the way.
It does all boil down to self motivation, and an inner pursuit of excellence. It seems that these heightened states appear because of our desire to reach and exceed expectations. If there is nothing pushing us to achieve greatness then the entire notion of emulating emotions, and figuring out how to bring our A game to the table, all the time, is pointless. As always, it all adds up to what we want to do and achieve in our lifetime.
I have been through the start-up phase iteration quite a few times, and one of the things I have realized is, that founders who are very rigid in their outlook about what the business can, and cannot be, are usually the one's who experience lesser success. The fact of the matter is that start-ups are up against an up-hill battle right from the onset, since they address a market that may or may not exist, against competition who could probably out flank them if they wished to do so. Coupled with the turbulent inner workings of a start-up team, you actually wonder how the odds at success are as good as 1 in every 10. I am not being pessimistic about starting up your own business, I am just sharing things that I have observed along the way with you.
Given the difficulties that we face as a start-up, the last thing you want to be, is inflexible about the path your business should take. As long as the founders are motivated enough to succeed at making the 'business' work, then it is a matter of finding the right model. This requires continuous adoption of market feedback, and what your customers do and do not like. If you are unable to change with the feedback, there are only so many times you can go to a prospect and ask them to buy your product. If no one is buying from you, then instead of blaming the market and your product/service, you need to look a lot more, and carefully into your position in the market place.
Progress is made one step at a time. When we stop moving, we stop learning, and ultimately that leads to our downfall. If you are experiencing difficulty in getting your business traction, there is a very serious talk that you must have with the founding team about the direction you need to take. I find that motivated and passionate entrepreneurs, who find themselves in a corner, find in this their best side appearing and often, all that is needed to get them back up and running, to devise a way to address the problems they may be facing.
Sometimes to break the status quo we need to ask each other uncomfortable questions, questions which put us outside our comfort zones. Shaking up the house or breaking a rut is necessary for the evolvement of a relationship or business. Confrontation is not something that people enjoy getting themselves into. It sparks a flurry of emotions which have the potential to temporarily blindside us from saying or doing things we would not have done under normal circumstances. In a way, it surfaces our inner thoughts and desires, and has the potential to put us into vulnerable positions. Having worked with many teams, I have come to realize that without a certain amount of friction, a team doesnt not move forward. There is too much brown nosing and very little candor. Both of these breakdown communication and ultimately lead teams in the wrong direction.
I have talked about the importance of candor in many of my prior blog posts as being a critical component of a well functioning team. A great team is one where everyone speaks their mind in context to the discussion, and challenges pre-requisites without blindly following them. Team members can then push each other to be better and to ask more of themselves. There is no doubt that there will be unpleasant times when you will get fed up with the flurry of critical statements. It is important that in this situation both the person who is asking the questions, as well as the person who is answering them, remains on topic.
When we are forced to challenge beliefs we follow blindly follow, or plans that we don not fully agree with, we cause the team to think bigger and broader thoughts. Without this friction we become stale, the competition catches up on your complacency, and soon enough you find yourself on the sidelines. Re-evaluate the presence of candor and friction within your team. Does it need shaking up? Are you the one who is going to take the first step, and wake everyone up before it is too late?
Every once in a while life throws something at us, when we least expect it. Sometimes, it makes you lose your balance, and fall off the path you were hell bent on pursuing. Sometimes, it is a necessary reality check, to help us re-focus on the things that really do mean a lot to us. In every curve ball that has come my way, I have found a much needed reality check, to help me understand what I am doing and where I am headed. The whole notion of maintaining balance in your life and entrepreneurship continues to baffle, and often elude me. Although I do get shot down with curve balls, every time I find myself on the floor, I can't wait to get up again and do it that much better the next time around.
the wall. This path does not however train us adequately to deal with curve balls, when they come our way (albeit at a lower frequency due to the relatively balanced lifestyle). However, when they do come, we get hit fairly hard, more so since we are not expecting them, and many a time we do not have a good enough reason to stand up again.
Dealing effectively with curve balls, comes with experience. It requires us to fall, it is true, but only to stand up stronger. The first couple of times it hurts a lot, and we begin to ask ourselves fundamental questions regarding our purpose in life, and what we are actually doing. They force us to evaluate where we are, and where we want to be. In my experience, the people who are able to get up faster, are those who have found something to hold on to. Call it passion, love or the thrill of winning. The deal is, you need to get into the game, rather than sitting by the sidelines watching life pass you by.
I think of success as an extremely elusive term. Everyone measures it in their own particular way and we all have or own thoughts and opinions of what makes someone successful, and what doesn't. Sometimes we think success is just around the corner, to have it slip right through our fingers. It is like a never ending chase, one which drives you to push yourself harder every waking moment. The funny thing is that when you think you have achieved a certain level of success, a new challenge presents itself and we are exposed to an entirely new dimension, one which gives a whole new perception to what we consider as success.
hungry. The day we limit our ability to look further than we can, we essentially pull the plug on where life could potentially take us. That could be the reason why success remains such an elusive term. If we all knew a pre-determined pathway on how to get there….. would we really appreciate it for what it is?
Are you Keeping Your Commitments?
Commitments are an extremely important facet of our daily lives. The ability to keep and honor commitments communicates volumes about an individual. Inability to keep them however, can have disastrous impacts on your character and level of buy-in into a group, project, business or relationship. It is hence essential to be very careful about the commitments we make, this wariness often causes and leads to "Commitment Phobia". If you never commit to anything great, you don't really stand a chance to face the heat, if things do not go your way. Many individuals choose to live their entire lives this way. Always playing it safe, thereby avoiding any chance of failing or coming up short. In a way they are the living dead, choosing to drift through life, never really experiencing what it truly has to offer.
Given what I said in the last paragraph, doesn't however give everyone who wants to "live life", the right to take on whatever commitment comes their way. I believe the ability to deliver on certain commitments requires skills, confidence and most importantly a belief in yourself. These factors are not developed overnight and require dedication and persistence to build. We hence need to take on only those commitments that we have the capability to deliver on, and continue building on the necessary skills to enable us to take on larger levels of commitments. The minute we stop growing in this direction, we set ourselves up for disappointments when we take up more than we can chew.
"Commitment Phobia" should not paralyze us into becoming what you ultimately want to. It should in fact prod you to grow and improve yourself, to grow and develop skill sets and a belief in them for yourself. Take on projects and responsibilities, best suited to your ability. For those that you can't take on, understand this is not the time for them, learn and work on the areas you need to grow in. If we allow fear to take control of our lives and let the "What if's" control our destiny, we can dream for the stars, yet, never take that first step to start moving towards them.
One of my portfolio companies is planning on launching a service which will be in direct competition with an established player in the market that we operate in. When developing the strategy for this move, one of the key questions that I asked the team was, "How do you think the competition will respond?" Initial conversation surrounding this question usually starts with standard responses, these include marketing ramp ups or replication of the new features, or upgrades that the new entrant may introduce. This question needs deeper analysis however.
It is important to do a SWOT analysis on the competition prior to launching a competing product or service. This way you can position it in such a way that you stay away from the competitor's strengths, and can focus on areas where they are weak, or more opportunities are open. Once you have the positioning correct the next area you should focus on is assigning a probability to whether the competitor will respond, and if they do, what mode they choose.
A. No Response: When the competitor sees the newcomer as someone who poses no real risk to them because of their entrenched stance in the market place, they usually do not engage in any sort of retaliation. A good example is how Yahoo! did not respond to Google's initial entrance in the market place.
B. Respond: If you think the competitor will respond, it is all about how they will respond, and more importantly, what sort of time frame you give yourself before a response is triggered. If the competitor is a larger organization, we have to put into perspective that on account of their controls and bureaucracy, a response will take longer to be initiated, this is hence an ideal time to gather market share as fast as possible.
1. Marketing Ramp Ups: Larger competitors will usually hold the ability to flank new competition with larger marketing ramp ups, and solidify their position in the market while stressing on the weaknesses of their opponents. Counter strategies to this response should be drafted beforehand if you believe that this tactic has a high likelihood of being implemented.
2. Feature Replication: If your business introduces new features into an existing product, will the competitor be able to duplicate them? If they can, how long do you think it will take them to do that? Do you have a road map for more feature upgrades in the pipeline? What is your roll out period looking like?
3. Launch Competing Product/Service: If the market appears to be large enough, the competitor may just spin off a brand new product/service to compete against yours. This is one of the most drastic strategies that can possibly be implemented by a competitor. It does however provide the new entrant with substantial lead time to build competitive response measures to deal with the upcoming product.
Newton's third law of motion states that "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction". Being ready more comprehensively in response to your competitor and planning several moves ahead, will initiate the reaction of giving you a strategic advantage, with counter responses.
Things at your start-up are going horribly wrong. People quitting, contracts being lost to competitors and as a leader you keep blaming just about everything else in this world apart from your own ability. The fact of the matter is, that the path your company is on is a core responsibility of a leader. To correct your start-up's course, if it is going down the wrong path, requires one to start getting as much feedback as possible from your investors, colleagues, customers and advisors. One needs to get a reality check on the type of job they are doing, and what the company can do to put itself back on track.
Unfortunately, a lot of entrepreneurs believe they know the answers to most of these questions themselves and are afraid of making themselves vulnerable in front of their peers. We need to leave our egos at the door and make sure that we do whatever we can to get the business moving again. I have personally found that having a group of mentors who you can use as sounding boards for the problems you are facing is a great way to get perspective on the matter at hand. They say it like it is, and you get honest feedback that may be difficult for your colleagues or peers to give you.
However, to take the step to ask others for help and assistance requires one to get of one's high horse, roll up one's sleeves, and get our hands dirty. Delegation is a key part of leadership, but sometimes you need to become a role model for others to push themselves further, by closing deals, making sales and boosting your team's spirit from the ground up. The longer we keep our head buried in the sand, the closer the startup or business comes to shutting down.
I recently met up with a group of new graduates, a group of young people who are probably facing one of the toughest job markets the world has seen in a very long time. The sentiment among the group was negative straight off the bat and remained that way in spite of my repeated suggestions on how they could improve their current situation. There is no doubt that things are tough, and that almost everyone has to adapt to the changes and alter strategies. However, it is much easier to blame everyone and everything around us rather than actually taking control of your life and making worthwhile and noteworthy changes.
1. Develop your interests and skills. For example do you excel at sports, painting, speaking publicly or cooking. Take courses, start a blog or start coaching others who share the same passion.
2. Use social media to connect to more people and open more doors for yourself. Take a look at this article and see how these two candidates were able to leverage Linkedin and Twitter to get noticed.
3. Volunteer at an organization which caters to a social cause you are passionate about. Become an active member and do your best to make a difference .
All this is while still continuing to apply to organizations that you would like to work for. In the end, the people who get hired are the ones who can display that they are able to get work done. If we continue to complain and keep blaming the economy for not getting a job, life is not going to get any easier. Life is about standing out and being remarkable.
Please read this article by Seth Godin on How to be remarkable.


People always look at me funny when I tell them that I refuse to valet my car, even if it means parking half a mile away. And it's not like I'm driving a supercar or anything, I just know the type of people who valet cars, and they're not the type of people I want driving my car.
Naturally, the valet was fired. No word on the extent of the damage to the Lamborghini, but judging by the fact that the car had to be pushed down the street, it's probably going to be an expensive repair bill..
Something to think about the next time you're about to valet your car..
Hahaha! Sorry, but I have to laugh at the idiot owner who would trust an equally idiot valet to park his Lamborghini.

2004 FIRST ROUNDER JOINS GREENSBORO
(GREENSBORO, NC) Left-handed pitcher, Taylor Tankersley will join the Grasshoppers rotation as he makes his season debut on Tuesday, June 14 against the Savannah Sand Gnats.
As the Florida Marlin's first-round draft pick (27th overall) in 2004, Tankersley, spent last season with the Jamestown Jammers, a short season, low-A baseball team, where he held a record of 1-1 and an ERA of 3.38. Tankersley pitched 26.2 innings while striking out 32, allowing 21 hits and 10 earned runs.
Tankersley attended the University of Alabama where he was put up impressive numbers as a closer his freshman year. There, he went 8-5 with a 2.62 ERA, and seven saves. He entered the rotation his sophomore year but was plagued with a wrist injury and posted a 7-5 record and a 5.88 ERA.
He began his junior season with the Crimson Tide once again in the bullpen. He posted three saves and allowed no earned runs before reclaiming his starting position. Finishing the season, he was 1-3 posting a 1.98ERA, with 41 strikeouts and 16 walks in 41 innings as a starter. Tankersley was drafted out of the University of Alabama where he finished his career seventh on the school's all-time strikeout list with 232.
Tankersley, son of a nuclear physicist, attributes his athleticism to his paternal grandfather, Earl Tankersley, who pitched in the minors. His grandfather taught him the strategy and importance of pitching inside. According to Baseball America, Tankersley shows bulldog mentality and throws from a low three-quarters arm slot, making him particularly tough on lefties. He throws strikes and has a great versatility having both started and relieved in college. Tankersley doesn't have an overpowering fastball and his velocity sometimes dips into the high 80's. With his college background and maturity level, both physical and mental, Tankersley should move quickly through the system.

HomeCommitmentYour Spouse Is Not the Enemy
CommitmentConflictFeatured
Your Spouse Is Not the Enemy
By America's Family Coaches
There are times when I read a marriage article and am absolutely nailed to the wall by it. Today's, from America's Family Coaches, is one of those. Hope it convicts you too, so I'm not alone!
Do you sometimes find yourself competing with your spouse over who is right or whose way will prevail in a decision or conflict? This type of friction is present in many marriage relationships.
When conflict arises, many couples are quick to take opposite positions on the "battle line." Husband and wife see each other as adversaries to be defeated. We're out to score a victory for "our side," to show the enemy who's boss, to make sure our cause is vindicated—even if it's only where we squeeze the toothpaste tube.
We have borrowed a saying from our friend Dennis Rainey that we often share at our marriage conferences: "My spouse is not my enemy." Isn't that a freeing thought? Marriage is not a war. Personal preferences are not beachheads to be conquered at all costs. Differences of opinion are not battles to be won. Hey, you're on the same team! Conflicts and difficulties are things to be worked out together in a spirit of teamwork and cooperation for the mutual good. Yet so often we chip away at each other, jostling to come out ahead. And we end up offending and hurting each other in the process.
Here is a starting point for any confrontation, a starting point that virtually guarantees your confrontation won't turn into a battle. Begin with these four words: "Let's pray together first." These words will not only disarm any conflict but also set the stage for a constructive, decision-making discussion.
"Wait a minute," you may be saying, "are you suggesting we should stop to pray over stuff as minor as which way to hang the toilet tissue and which end of the toothpaste to squeeze?"
To be sure, you need to be praying about the significant decisions you must make, such as a possible job change, where to attend church, whether or not to homeschool your children, major financial decisions. But you probably don't need to pray specifically about minor details like toilet tissue and toothpaste. However, usually lurking behind even these small conflicts is an issue of control: Who will decide between two relatively equal but minor options? Whose preference will be honored? At this point, a moment of prayer can unify the two of you and clarify your goals.
Prayer makes a positive impact on the resolution of conflict. It welcomes into the debate a third party—Jesus—and determines that you are willing to play by his rules. When you both decide to meet on Jesus' turf, you are naturally opening yourself up to the Word of God and the Holy Spirit as the grounds for making your decision and resolving your conflict. You will be challenged to ask, "What does the Bible say about our situation? Are there clear commands we need to obey? What other biblical principles apply to the issue?" When you look to God's Word, you level the playing field by welcoming God's solution.

When you find the courage to say, "Let's pray together first," be prepared to say a few more things in order to clear up the conflict and heal any hurt you may have caused.
"I was wrong." When the Holy Spirit reveals your part in offending your spouse, it's not enough to say, "If you think I did something wrong, let's talk about it." Nor is it appropriate to say, "I don't think it was such a big deal, but if you think it was…" Tell it as it is with statements like these: "I was wrong"; "What I did/said was wrong"; "I offended you, and it was wrong"; "I need to talk to you about what I did to hurt you."
"I'm sorry." Admitting you were wrong is very important, but you also need to express your sorrow over the hurt your wrong behavior caused: "I was wrong, and I'm so sorry that I hurt you." By expressing your sorrow, you demonstrate empathy for your hurting spouse.
"I don't ever want to hurt you this badly again." Saying you were wrong is a statement of confession. Saying you are sorry is a statement of contrition or sorrow. They must be followed by a statement of repentance, which expresses your desire to turn from your hurtful ways. "I don't want to hurt you again" is a way of saying any hurt you cause is unintentional and distressing to you. Repentance opens the door to deep healing.
"Will you forgive me?" Here you place yourself at your spouse's feet, taking the servant's position. It is a demonstration of your humility. Anything less than acknowledging your wrong, your sorrow, your repentance, and your humility is cheap forgiveness. The full approach, which is bathed in prayer together, is forgiving love at its best.
If there's a conflict brewing in your marriage, take the initiative today to bring the two of you together in prayer and find a resolution that will heal that hurt.

Dubai Municipality to exempt companies from paying double fines
Wednesday, December 30th, 2020 3:11pm
File picture
Dubai Municipality is preparing to launch an initiative to exempt companies from paying double fines for their violations.

The heat of summer has already settled in Toronto and since the middle of June every day has been hot, with this, I am taking full advantage to use the parts of this season that were stored in the closet.
I've commented here, that I love versatile pieces that allow me to assemble different looks with the same piece and so I have a dry but functional cupboard.
So I want to share with you, some options of looks with 5 versatile pieces for the summer.
With a single denim skirt, you can assemble proposals of very different looks, with blouses with more romantic cutouts, such as shoulder-to-shoulder or even with a basic piece like a T-shirt. The skirt also goes well with all kinds of footwear and you can enjoy the summer with sandals, heel sandal or tennis. Also, the jeans skirt goes well in the heat and even in the cold with boots over the knee or half, so I find the skirt a great item.
In addition to the skirt, another piece that brings the same versatility is denim shorts and I particularly have loved these high waist models or the boyfriend models for being more comfortable and just as the skirts look good in more basic looks or in more elegant options with high heels.
Dress has the face of spring/summer right? I think it is the most beautiful piece of the season, because the stamped and/or colorful convey joy and the different cuts can bring an air more girl or more woman, a touch stripped or more elegant, and all this with only one piece. So I think it's cool to have three or four dresses with different styles that express separate messages.
I love t-shirt and they are prevalent in my closet because they are more versatile blouse options, it looks good with skirt, trousers, shorts, jumpsuit, sandal, boot, sneakers… so it is by far my favorite piece and I think it is very worthwhile to invest both in options basic or graphic tee.
For me, accessories make all the difference and necklaces and bracelets are able to turn any basic look, but just like in the winter where the caps and scarves transform the look, during the summer are the hats, caps, and headbands that give a special touch in their Production.
Tip: The shirt strapped to the waist, which is a way to use this fall/winter piece in the hottest seasons, giving a street style flair to your look.
I hope these tips will help you set up different looks by exploring these key pieces, which you probably should already have some in the closet.


House Rosebank by MAKE Architecture involved the renovation of a substantial Edwardian house in Kew. New rear living spaces were needed that were better matched to the generous proportions of the existing house, taking advantage of the sunny rear garden and resolving a difficult connection with the existing pool.
It was important that the new addition respects the existing house with a clear definition between old and new. Charcoal bricks were the obvious choice to sit next to the solid red brick home.
The form has been conceived as a shifting volume that recedes in the centre and then rises up to wrap around the existing house, opening up to the north corner of the garden and giving varied and generous ceiling heights internally.
Simplicity of planning, durability of material selections and seeking out spatial solutions that are about advocating life's pleasures are the main drivers for the design.
As an alternative to the 'big box on the back' approach, the spaces at House Rosebank are humble, intimate and designed with the idea of quality over quantity.

(This post was updated on 15 Aug with a relevant tweet-comment from John Falzon – see bottom of post).
AMA president Dr Steve Hambleton has urged governments to tackle the social determinants of health, describing this as a "public policy imperative".
In a speech to a Social Determinants of Health Alliance forum in Sydney yesterday, he noted that income inequality is increasing in Australia, as in many other countries.
He said: "The AMA wants our governments to make health equity and health impact explicit goals of all public policy in every portfolio", and that Australia needs to "rethink our approach to health, and redesign our policies and systems to tackle the root causes of ill health".
And he committed the AMA to advocating for action on the social determinants of health, which he described as a "very important – but often neglected – part of the national health conversation".
I acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we meet today, and pay my respects to their elders, both past and present.
Thanks to Catholic Health Australia for organising this forum and inviting me to speak.
It is a pleasure to share a platform with The Hon Rob Knowles, Martin Laverty, Tessa Boyd-Caine from ACOSS, and young Ammy from The Smith Family.
Some of you might wonder why the head of the AMA is here to talk about the social determinants of health.
What is the link between doctors, medicine and the social determinants? It is simple. Doctors don't just treat people who are sick or injured or advise people how to stay healthy.
If people are ill, we want to know what made them ill. What are the factors that contributed to their sickness or poor health? How can we address these problems?
The social determinants are the social and environmental conditions in which people live and work every day of their lives. These conditions affect our lives in many ways, including our health.
The physical environment affects our health – air quality, temperature, the weather, the vegetation, and the water, among other things.
Our housing affects our health. For many people it is a lack of housing, or the poor quality of housing.
Employment affects our health. Being out of work, especially for long periods, can have a serious impact on both physical and mental health of a person, and the people around them.
Education is a major factor in maintaining good health. Knowledge and health literacy and a hunger for learning – all-important factors in staying healthy.
This is why the social determinants are so important to doctors.
I might add that one of the world's foremost authorities on the social determinants of health is a medical doctor.
Sir Michael Marmot is a former President of the British Medical Association – my counterpart – and between 2005 and 2008 he was Chair of the World Health Organisation Commission on the Social Determinants of Health.
Sir Michael visited Sydney for the World Medical Association Conference in 2011. I had the privilege of spending time with Sir Michael at the WMA Conference in Thailand this year.
Sir Michael is a pioneer in the social determinants arena and a tireless advocate internationally.
In fact, it was his World Health Organisation Commission that, in 2008, released a major report calling on governments to take action to reduce health inequities by addressing the social determinants of health.
The report outlined three principles for action.
The first was improving the conditions of daily life – the circumstances in which people are born, grow, live, work, and age.
The second principle was tackling the structural drivers of those conditions – the inequitable distribution of power, money and resources.
The third principle was measuring the problem, evaluating action, expanding the knowledge base, developing the workforce, and raising public awareness about the social determinants of health.
The Australian Government has not yet responded to this report.
These core principles are a sound basis for taking action on the social determinants of health.
As we are in the midst of an election campaign, I call on the major parties to commit to implementing these principles as part of their health policy.
It is five years since the report, but never too late to act.
While Sir Michael has been spreading the word around the world, the AMA has been doing its bit here in Australia to elevate the social determinants of health in the minds of the public, the health sector and governments.
We have for many years encouraged governments to consider all the social determinants of health when developing health policy.
This is particularly important when considering policies for Indigenous peoples and other disadvantaged groups.
Many doctors – including AMA members – provide vital health services in remote Indigenous communities. They see first hand the impacts of the social determinants of health among this population.
Many of these communities have or may have had poor housing, a lack of clean water, Third World sanitation, a lack of teachers, or no jobs. The cumulative effect of these hardships takes its toll on human health – both immediately and over time.
The same patterns appear in areas of poverty and disadvantage. People's social and economic circumstances are intertwined with their health status.
Their knowledge of good health practices and their ability – through their circumstances – to attain and maintain an acceptable health status throughout their lives can be determined by many other factors.
Disadvantage is one, and disadvantage has many forms. It can be absolute – for example, not having access to quality education or housing. Or it can be relative – for example, poorer education, and insecure employment.
Each of life's many transitions – such as leaving school or getting a first job – can affect health by moving people onto a more advantaged or less advantaged path.
People who have been disadvantaged in the past are at greater risk in every subsequent transition of their life.
Disadvantages tend to congregate among the same people, and their effects tend to accumulate through life and be passed on from generation to generation.
Social and psychological circumstances can cause long-term stress and be damaging to health, and may lead to premature death. Continuing anxiety, insecurity, social isolation, and lack of control over work and home life are examples of such stressors.
As well as contributing to poor mental health, the inappropriate and regular activation of the body's stress response negatively affects the cardiovascular and immune systems.
While of some concern in the short term, in the long term these feelings of stress make people more vulnerable to conditions such as infections, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, stroke and depression.
In industrialised countries, these conditions are more common in people who live in the lower levels of the social hierarchy.
It is now well understood that the foundations of adult health are laid before birth and in early childhood. Slow growth and poor early experience increase the lifetime risk of poor emotional health and reduce physical, cognitive and emotional functioning into adulthood.
Poor experiences during pregnancy such as nutritional deficiencies, maternal smoking, alcohol and drug use, and inadequate prenatal care can lead to poor foetal development and consequent low birth weight babies, which are risk factors for poor health later in life.
Poverty – absolute and relative – has a major impact on health and premature death. Poverty denies people access to full participation in the life of the community.
In the international context, those who are homeless have the highest rates of premature death.
Social exclusion also results from racism, discrimination, stigmatisation and unemployment.
The greater the length of time that people live in disadvantaged circumstances the greater the risk for ill health, particularly cardiovascular disease.
Generally, those with the lowest health status also have low educational and literacy levels.
Poor education means a person is less likely to attain secure and well-paid employment and this can lead to poverty and other predictors of ill health.
As a general rule, having a job is better for health than being unemployed. However, stress at work also increases the risk of disease.
Jobs that are demanding and where employees have little control or decision making in their employment are the most detrimental to health. Improved work conditions will lead to a healthier workforce that will, in turn, improve productivity and decrease absenteeism.
Occupation is often used as a measure of socio-economic status. Those in 'blue collar' occupations have poorer health status across almost all indicators compared with those in professional or managerial occupations. People who are unemployed, and the families of those who are unemployed, experience a much greater risk of premature death.
These risks are higher in regions where there is widespread unemployment and when the risks relate to the psychological and financial effects.
For example, being in debt can have health implications.
The health effects begin when people first feel their jobs are under threat, prior to becoming unemployed. Job insecurity or very unsatisfactory employment is harmful, with increasing effects on mental health, heart disease, and the risk factors for heart disease.
Adequate income affects the ability to have safe housing and to afford sufficient and quality food and health care.
As income continues to rise above a threshold level, there is no longer a correlation between increased income and increased health. The health benefits of increased socio-economic status become smaller as socio-economic status increases.
In the past 20 or so years, income inequality has been increasing in Australia.
As an example, between 1994-95 and 1998-99, there was a 20 per cent increase in the taxable income of Australians. However, the poorest postcodes achieved an increase of only 16 per cent, whereas the wealthiest postcodes achieved an average increase of 25 per cent.
This trend also exists internationally with income inequality increasing in nearly all countries since the 1980s. Income inequality is higher in the United States of America than in Nordic countries such as Sweden.
Social support and social relations give people emotional and practical resources as well as a sense of mutual respect where people feel loved and valued.
All these aspects have a protective effect on health and provide a buffer against health problems. Without them, people are likely to experience less wellbeing, more depression, and higher levels of disability from chronic diseases.
At the societal level, social cohesion helps to protect people and their health.
Societies that have high levels of income inequality tend to have less social cohesion and more violent crime.
Alcohol dependence and illicit drug use are sometimes symptoms of social breakdown and can sometimes also contribute to further escalation of health inequities.
People can turn to alcohol and other drugs as a way of avoiding their harsh social and economic realities. Unfortunately, apart from a temporary release, these substances only intensify the factors that lead to the use in the first place.
These substances are a large drain on people's incomes, reduce participation in society, and are a large cause of ill health and premature death.
Food quality is an important issue in parts of Australia and internationally. Quality food poverty can exist side by side with an abundance of food. Ready access to good quality food makes a greater difference to what people eat than nutritional education.
Generally, people on low incomes – including young families, elderly people and those who are unemployed – are often most at risk from poor nutritional choices.
In Australia, there is a particular issue with food quality for isolated Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Fresh fruit and vegetables often must be carried many hundreds of kilometres, often in un-refrigerated trucks, and much of the nutrient value of the food can perish on the journey.
Once it arrives at the local store, it may or may not be able to be stored in conditions to maintain the nutrient value, and it is much higher in cost than what would be paid in urban areas.
There may not be the appropriate kitchen and cooking facilities to be able to store and then prepare nutritious well-balanced meals. Under-nutrition can lead to susceptibility to disease in addition to specific disorders.
Equally, the over consumption of energy-dense and nutrient-poor food products and beverages is a major contributor to the epidemic levels of obesity in Australia today.
Cycling, walking, and use of public transport promote health through exercise, reducing accidents and air pollution, and increasing social contact.
People without private transport and people in places with poor or no public transport are less able to participate fully in the life of the community and experience its health benefits.
Other significant factors that affect equity in health outcomes are racism and other biases, whether at an individual level or institutionalised.
In A Public Health Perspective on Cannabis and Other Illegal Drugs, the Canadian Medical Association highlights the profound impact a criminal record has on heath status.
A criminal record can severely limit employment prospects, leading to poor health. Prisoners also require equity in access to health services given their burden of disease.
People with a criminal record are less likely to be employed, or more likely to employed in lower skilled or temporary work.
Institutional racism and other biases against minority groups can occur are at many levels, and negatively affect health.
lack of carer support to make choices.
People from higher socio-economic groups are often more comfortable standing up for their rights, and often more able to educate themselves on their condition and challenge or ask doctors for specific treatments.
While medical doctors may not be experts or authorities (other than Sir Michael, of course) on these social factors, and how to fix them, we see them and confront them daily.
We can see what these factors do to the health of our patients. We can see the effect they may have on their families.
The social and economic costs of inaction on these social determinants are compelling. In Australia – as elsewhere – health expenditure is growing at a faster rate than gross domestic product.
The context of an ageing population, burgeoning chronic disease burden, and rising health care costs pose fundamental challenges to our health system and the sustainability of health care expenditure.
If Australia is to meet these challenges, we need to rethink our approach to health, and redesign our policies and systems to tackle the root causes of ill health. Tackling the social determinants of health is a public policy imperative.
But when it comes to moving upstream from illness and tackling the root cause of health inequities, governments have been slow to act.
The AMA wants our governments to make health equity and health impact explicit goals of all public policy in every portfolio.
The theme of better population health must be embedded in policies within education, housing, employment, transport and the environment.
Unless the policy responses in these and other areas are aligned, they have the potential to widen disparities in health.
This is hard for governments. It is not about the next three years – it's about the next generation and deserves bipartisan support.
A cross-portfolio focus on the social determinants of health meets the challenge that I laid down at the National Press Club last month for governments and lobby groups.
We must plan for the future. We must redesign our programs to meet the emerging challenge of the increasing levels of non-communicable disease to ensure we deliver an enduring and affordable health system into the next decades for the following generations of Australians.
The AMA has been doing its bit, and we will continue to do so.
We have a strong policy on climate change and health.
We have made submissions to inquiries on air quality.
We have concerns about possible health effects from coal seam gas mining.
We support government action to stop people smoking – plain packaging and higher tobacco excise are good policies.
We stand against the irresponsible use of alcohol, and have called for tighter controls on the marketing of alcohol to young people.
We have policy on the health of people in detention, including in prison.
We have called for an independent panel to monitor the health of asylum seekers.
And we have a long and proud history of working to improve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health outcomes.
Health is about much more than hospitals and medical practices. It is also about the promotion of wellness.
Just as the AMA is a champion in public health, we aspire to be a champion on the social determinants of health.
The AMA strongly supports the work of the Alliance. We will continue to promote education and spark action on the social determinants of health.
I hope that today's forum puts the spotlight on this very important – but often neglected – part of the national health conversation.


OXFORD, Miss. – An online, captive business concept that connects high school students with college students for homework took first place in the 14th annual Gillespie Business Plan Competition at the University of Mississippi.
Shortwork LLC, conceived by Will Tribble and Sam Harres, is a tutoring app for high schoolers looking for solutions to homework questions. With this model, customers pay $3 to submit a photo of their homework problem, and Shortwork's approved solvers claim the problems and respond with filmed explanations of the answers.
"We plan to use the Gillespie prize to create a significant social media presence while offering plenty of sign-up incentives for both customers and solvers," said Harres, a junior accounting major from Columbia, Illinois.
Shortwork won $10,000 and a year of free office space at the Innovation Hub at Insight Park, the university's business incubator.
"We are thrilled to have the Gillespie Business Plan Competition in the school of business since it provides not only an experiential learning opportunity for budding entrepreneurs, but also because it provides seed money to actually start the business they are pitching," said Ken Cyree, dean of the School of Business Administration.
In third place was Fraze, winning $2,500. Founded last fall, Fraze sells custom, embellished sunglasses that are fun for parties, souvenirs and group trips. The frames typically feature bold colors and beads, and customers can customize their own glasses for any occasion to look unique on social media.
"It has been so fun watching Fraze grow, and competing in the Gillespie competition helped us gain skills that will be important in the future of our business," said Lindy Goodson, a sophomore from Maryville, Illinois, majoring in integrated marketing communications and the company's other co-founder.
This year, 38 student entrepreneurs entered the competition. An internal business school faculty panel evaluated all entries and selected 16 businesses to advance in the contest.
The semifinals featured 16 participants presenting eight-minute pitches to a panel of judges. The top six advanced to the final round on April 20.
Presentations were followed by 10 minutes of questions from judges. The judging panel was: Lawrence Adams, a Jimmy John's Pizza franchisee; Jeff Conley of Conley Buick GMC in Florida; Jan and Lawrence Farrington; Mac Haik of Mac Haik Enterprises; Liza Cirlot Looser of the Cirlot Agency; Josh Mabus of the Mabus Agency; Johnny Maloney of Cowboy Maloney's Electric City; John Oxford of Renasant Bank; Stuart Coleman of Chevron; and Benton Turnage of Gulf Point Advisors.
Besides the winners, others competing in the finals were Axiom Materials, a building demolition and material recovery firm; DeltaTech, a co-worker space that targets low-income Mississippi Delta communities; and Subly, an app for students interested in sub-leasing their apartments or rooms.

One such research study, funded by Hewlett-Packard and conducted by the Institute of Psychiatry at the University of London, found that "Workers distracted by email and phone calls suffered a fall in IQ more than twice that found in marijuana smokers." The report termed this new "infomania" a serious threat to workplace productivity.

Mum dies cradling her baby
A young mum has died in her sleep as she lovingly cradled her six-week-old baby son.
Amielia Amanda Dixon, 21, - known as Amy - was found by friends at her Cocken Road home in Hardwick.
It is thought she died from a viral infection.
Today her distraught father, Barry Dixon, said: "The whole family is devastated over what has happened."
The serving police constable from Cleveland Police saw his daughter and his newborn baby grandson, Joey, on Monday evening and said they were both fine.
But during the early hours of Tuesday things took a tragic twist and the young mum mysteriously died.
Her dad said: "She was seen feeding Joey at around midnight on Monday and found dead on Tuesday morning by friends who had called round."
Amy's friends discovered the 21-year-old in a final loving embrace of the son she was "thrilled" to have.
"It looks like she fell asleep on the sofa holding her baby and didn't wake up," said Mr Dixon.
Paying tribute to his beloved daughter, who has an identical twin sister, Pippa, he described her as a "brilliant mother".
And he says that the memory of his daughter will stay alive through Joey.
"I can see her in the little lad. We have a little bit of her here and I'm sure she is looking down and watching out for him," said the devoted granddad.
But the 44-year-old granddad said the family has been left completely shocked since Amy's death on Tuesday and do not know why she died.
He said: "It was totally unexpected, the last thing you expect to happen. There is no obvious reason for her death. The pathologist has told us that it appears to be as the result of a viral infection."
He said that kind-hearted friends and family have rallied round to help look after baby Joey since his single mum's tragic death, but he is fine.
Amy's mum, who lives abroad, has returned to Stockton following the tragic death of her daughter.
An inquest into Amy's death was opened and adjourned by Teesside Coroner Michael Sheffield yesterday.
