Testimonial from Lisa Smith

The Small Business Solutions course gave me an opportunity to sit down with a room full of business owners and listen to their challenges and how they faced them. This gave me great insights. Over the 8 weeks my confidence grew as I realised much of what was being shared I had already implemented based on my own experience and intuition. This confirmation was a confidence booster. Of course, there were more than a few new helpful hints too and the 8 weeks was well worth it. The highlight was John’s visit to our business and to see he was impressed gave me much encouragement.

Bucket lists Making every moment count

s its name suggests, a bucket list is a number of things you hope to do or achieve in your lifetime, before you “kick the bucket”. It’s believed that the term itself is fairly new and may have been used for the first time in Patrick M. Carlisle’s 2004 novel, Unfair & Unbalanced: the Lunatic Magniloquence of Henry E. Panky, which includes the words: “So anyway, a great man, in his querulous twilight years, who doesn’t want to go gently into that blacky black night. He wants to cut loose, dance on the razor’s edge, pry the lid off his bucket list!” In 2007 the box office hit movie The Bucket List popularised the concept the world over. Starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, the movie told the story of two terminally ill men who embark upon a road trip together in order to tick off the items on their list. Bucket lists may have started out containing outlandish and expensive goals such as travelling the world or riding on the back of an elephant, but over time the bucket list has evolved to be as much about managing your inner world as

planning to jump from a plane. Goals such as spending quality time with friends and family, achieving and maintaining great health, and making time to slow down and watch the sun rise are all part of the modern bucket list.

Why have a bucket list?

According to life coach Celes Chua from Personal Excellence, having a bucket list serves as a reminder to each one of us of what we value as

truly important in our lives. It’s a way of making sure you live every day of your life to its fullest according to your own personal goals and purpose. Celes explains, “The object of creating this list isn’t to instil some kind of race against time or create aversion toward death. The whole point of creating your list is to maximise every moment of our existence and live our life to the fullest. It’s a reminder of all the things we want to achieve in our time here, so that instead of pandering our time in pointless activities, we are directing it fully to what matters to us.”

How to get started

It seems that a global industry has been formed around making bucket lists. Based on research

which suggests that those who share their bucket list goals are far more likely to make them happen, many websites provide the opportunity to do just that. Other groups, such as Bucket List Brisbane, are far more hands on. Founded just five years ago, and with over 3000 members, the group offers members regular opportunities to come together to take part in a variety of experiences, ranging from the Ridiculous Obstacle Challenge and grape stomping at Montville to picnics in the park. Details of events, which are often based on suggestions from members, are posted online, and members are able to RSVP with the click of a button. The group encourages members to “dream big, and appreciate the small stuff at the same time”.  Page 14

SKIN HEALTH with Claire Mason

• Excision: skin tag is cut out • Cryosurgery: skin tag is frozen with liquid nitrogen • Cauterisation: skin tag is burnt off through electrolysis

What are skin tags? Skin tags, or acrochordons, are small parts of hanging skin that appear on our bodies, usually where skin rubs against skin such as the eyelids, armpits, groin and neck. If you have a skin tag, you are not alone. About 46% of the population have them. Some people can be more prone to skin tags such as pregnant women, overweight people and those with diabetes. But they affect males and females equally and usually occur after midlife. Skin tags aren’t harmful to our health and generally cause no symptoms unless they are rubbed or scratched. Most range in size from a diameter of 2 mm to 1 cm, but in some cases can reach up to 5 cm. Some people choose to remove them for aesthetic reasons If skin tags are in an area that has clothing or jewellery rubbing against them, that area is going to frequently become irritated and uncomfortable. Hence, another good reason for removal.

These procedures are usually performed by a skin care specialist and they aren’t harmful. At Integrity Paramedical Skin Practitioners, we can remove skin tags with minimal to no scarring. It is a myth that if you remove a skin tag, another one will grow in its place. The reality is some people are more prone to skin tags and need to remove them periodically to ensure their aesthetical standard. Whereas some people remove their skin tags once and never deal with them again.

How to remove them?

There are four procedures that can remove skin tags: • Ligation: cuts off the blood supply of the skin tag

HEADACHES & MIGRAINES with Bertrand Doeuk

Migraines & headaches Women vs men The age old question: ‘Is migraine more common in women than men?’ Out of the 3 million migraine sufferers in Australia, it is expected that there are at least three times more women than men who develop migraines. Research also shows that women are at a higher risk in developing tension headache than men. Unfortunately for females, it doesn’t stop there. Menstrual migraine is gender specific and affects women only. Approximately a third of female migraine sufferers have some form of hormonal related migraines. Some can say that men have it easy. However, if you have ever heard or suffered from Cluster Headache then you would understand how debilitating this severe condition is. Men who suffer from cluster headaches indicate that the pain feels like a hot iron bar piercing through the eye and to the back of the head. Women report of the pain to be worse than giving childbirth. Cluster headache is also commonly known as suicide headache as these sufferers contemplate suicidal thoughts due to the excruciating pain.

Unfortunately, for men it affects them three times more than females. Whether you are a female or male, and suffer from chronic headaches and migraines, there is help available without the need of medication. For further information contact us, as we love talking about migraines.

Retirement R etirement living wi with Chiou See Anderso Anderson on

The Bucket of us have a bucket list. Consciously or otherwise, we make up a bucket list. These are the things we want to do or places we want to experience before we “kick the bucket”. The beauty of a bucket list is that it matters not how old we are; rather, it is simply an acknowledgement that we don’t and can’t live forever. So we list the adventures that we would love to go on, the places that we have heard or read about and the skills we would have acquired if providing for the family was not a necessity. For many seniors, the bucket list has become the ultimate celebration of ageing. Current generations of retirees are healthier and richer. Couple that with the ease of travel and internet connectivity and it is no wonder that this cohort is spending their golden years (and their children’s inheritance!!) chasing once-in-alifetime adventures. Often, they have a well thought out financial strategy that enables them to enjoy holidays that may have taken years of hard work and planning to fulfil. Their destinations include the Antarctic and allinclusive luxury cruises in Europe or Asia with business class airfares thrown in. Others embark

on a learning pathway – mastering w new languages, acquiring new skills or undertaking a formal tertiary course. nin So what was Dr Marc Agronin hat referring to when he said that rather than feeling exhilarated by rs these experiences, most seniors d often end up feeling depressed and disconnected? Essentially, itt ave boils down to how well we weave ents these achievements and attainments mily into what matters most to us. If family relations and social connectivity rank high in your level of contentment, then it is paramount that ticking off thee list pport does not alienate you from your support network. That means keeping up with ristening milestone birthdays, weddings, christenings and the occasion funeral. It also means staying in

constant contact with aall those you left behind via a m myriad of social network pl platforms so you don’t miss a be beat when the bucket is em empty and you re-enter your rea real world. The danger of not doin doing some or all of the above is th that you lose touch, fall off the social train and the result resulting isolation could then drive you back to another round of thrills and adventures which could exacerbate the problem.

One of the most fabulous things about getting older (and why grandparents are so great) is that we get happier naturally as we grow older. Several key surveys have found that increased happiness doesn’t come through doing, but simply through being. It is the natural result of lower expectations and ambition, less emotional (and hormonal) volatility, increased gratitude and acceptance, and increased problem-solving skills. Is having a bucket list a bad thing? The answer is NO. You can improve your social and psychological wellbeing by discussing ideas and exploring options. You can improve your physical wellbeing by starting an exercise regime to prepare for the adventures. You will also enhance your financial wellbeing by not squandering on meaningless temptations. So, go ahead. You have earned it. Start making a list.

Sugar and skin ageing Excess sugar in our diets is directly affecting the health of our skin

e all know that sugar is not good for us. It makes us gain weight, it makes us sick, and some scientists are even going as far to say it is a poison that leads to heart disease, diabetes and cancer. However, what often isn’t discussed is the effect of sugar on our skin. Is sugar bad for our skin? Generally speaking, it is, and even though we need to consume sugar on a regular basis, as it is almost everywhere, it is always useful to know the different types of sugars and what these sugars do to us and how to consume sugar or eliminate it.

W

elastin, two of the main components of our skin’s health. They damage them by becoming stiff, impeding the skin’s elasticity. Moreover, they damage the production of both elastin and collagen, making the harm they cause stay for years as the body cannot repair it. Unfortunately, it is impossible to cut sugar completely out of our diet as even fruit has a form of sugar in it. AGEs cannot be stopped, but they can be reduced, and the amount of damage they cause can be slowed down.

Doing damage from the inside out

When it comes to skin ageing, sugar is a force that damages us from the inside. Sugar triggers a natural response in our body, known as glycation, which is pretty much sugar in our blood attaching itself to proteins. As a result, new molecules are formed called AGEs (Advanced Glycation Products). These new molecules are harmful ones that damage our bodies, including collagen and

Rethink the way we eat and cook

The amount of AGEs being formed in our bloodstream can be reduced to extreme lengths if we rethink the way we eat and the way we cook. The answer to keeping our skin healthy lies in a healthy diet. If we reduce the amount of sugar we eat as much as possible, simply by following a typically healthy diet we will reduce the damage sugar can do to our skin. Many products on the market have sugar nowadays. So read those labels. We might want to rethink caramelising foods too. On a side note, AGEs are more common in skin exposed to the sun. So using sunscreen on a daily basis will also stop the damage from being so immense.

HEALTH & FITNESS with Cameron Corish

Electrical radiation:

Why the controversy?

ith the recent visit of Dr Devra Davis, a highly respected US Epidemiologist, on the ABC Catalyst program “WIFRIED”, strong debates have again erupted about the potential harmful effects of Electrical Radiation (ER). ER was already classed as a Class 2B - Possible Human Carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IRAC) in 2011. Dr Davis stated that “50% of the population of the industrialised world will experience debilitating symptoms from ER exposure from mild to extreme by 2017” with calls to upgrade the classification to Class 2A- Probably Carcinogenic to Humans.

W

What is ER?

Any electrical device generates an electromagnetic field. This includes electrical wiring in buildings and wireless devices especially medical devices (MRI’s, CT Scans), mobile phones, tablets, computers and computer WIFI. This may interfere with the body’s natural electrical field used for the

8

heart, brains, nerves and muscle fibres producing large positive charges on the body. This increases Free Radicals, which may lead to chronic inflammation, decreased immune function, damaged tissues and cells, and possibly diseases and illnesses.

Cancer Diabetes

Neurological Diseases

Cardiovascular

INFORMATION

Autoimmune Diseases

Arthiritis

Alzheimer’s Diseases

Pulmonary Diseases

And finally our own policy makers, the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency, are saying our standards still provide adequate protection from the known health effects of ER, although these standards were published in 2002 prior to Smart phones and WIFI devices. Hopefully, some definitive guidance will be given with the planned publication of the World Health Organisation’s International Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) Project due this year. In the interim here are some tips to reduce you and your family’s Electrical Radiation.

The top 9 tips to reduce ER

So what is the debate?

Since the original classification in 2011, more evidence and creditable studies (CERENAT and Hardell) have emerged that adds strength to upgrading the health risk. Added to Dr Davis’ and her World Health Organisation colleagues published research, it details specific numbers of teenagers having increasing risk of 4–8 times more brain tumours. This has cast some doubts on our own safety standards, which are 100 times less than China, Italy Switzerland and Russian standards. On the other side of the debate, the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are saying that no scientific evidence exists to prove that cell phones can cause cancer. The Australian Mobile Telecommunications Industry is saying there is no evidence of additional risk to children from mobile phones, although research in this area is limited.

1. Avoid body contact with mobile phones (This is actually listed in manufacturers’ warnings.) 2. Don’t have your body or head near electrical devices during sleeping. 3. Avoid using phones on a low signal. This increases the transmitting power to get a better signal. 4. Wait for the phone calls to be connected. The highest amount of ER is when the call is initially connecting. 5. Switch the phone to different sides regularly. 6. Text and use the speaker more. 7. Use in airport mode as much as possible. 8. Shorter phone calls. 9. Walking barefoot (Earthing) to increase the uptake of electrons to balance out the excesses positive charges and the damaging free radicals.

Australian care experts bring Global Welfare Summit to Gold Coast USTRALIA’S reputation as an international leader in the areas of elder care, palliative care and dementia care will be on show on the Gold Coast on April 21-22, when the second Global Welfare Summit (GWS) brings together around 400 leaders from across the globe. Handpicked to bring the GWS to Australia is CHARLTON BROWN Chief Executive Officer Kay Ganley who is coordinating an eminent group of speakers and guests from public and private sector organisations. Key discussion areas at the summit will be care training and education as well as striking the balance between responsibility and innovation in care for the ageing. The 2016 GWS—the first since the inaugural summit in Japan in 2013—is expected to welcome more than 400 delegates and 20 exhibitors from the aged care, nursing and allied health specialties The summit was founded by Shinko Fukushikai Social Welfare Corporation and Executive Head Seiko Adachi, who launched the inaugural summit, will be in attendance at the 2016 summit in April. Ms Ganley said because the nation’s training and education was advanced compared to other countries, Australia could quite easily take for granted the skills, knowledge and systems developed here.

A

“However, others across the world and particularly in the Asian region consider Australia a leader in education and training for these rapidly growing services,” Ms Ganley said. As well as Ms Ganley, the GWS will showcase a number of local and international guest speakers, including:

• Dr Suresh Kumar (India) – Institute of Palliative Medicine

Director,

Dr. Suresh Kumar has been involved in the palliative care scene for the last 22 years and is currently involved in developing palliative care services in Thailand, Indonesia and Sri Lanka.

The conference, followed by a one day Master Class on April 23, is suitable for executives, management and senior staff in aged care as well as nursing and allied health specialists, and professional carers – both in residential aged care and home care.

• Anne Holm (Denmark) – Director of Bellinge Welfare Academy Charlton Brown www.charltonbrown.com.au info@charltonbrown.com.au Chinatown Mall, Level 3, 31 Duncan Street, Fortitude Valley, Brisbane

Anne runs “Bellinge”, a welfare academy that provides training for the environment and welfare in Denmark. She introduced the welfare system and social policy of Denmark, a country with said-to-be the happiest people in the world. • Emi Kiyota (USA) – President, Governmental Organisation Ibasho

Non-

Dr Emi is an environmental gerontologist and organisational culture change expert, focused on initiatives to improve the quality of the built environment for healthcare settings and long term care services for elders.

One day ‌ Is it too much to ask? un Stop Blinds is a local family owned and operated business that has been catering to Logan City and Brisbane since 1993. The company will be celebrating their 23rd birthday in April, marking it a true local business success story. In the early ‘90s Lisa Smith worked for a blind company where she met her husband. They saw a need in the market for good quality locally made blinds and went to work creating their own business. In 1993 this dream became a reality and they opened Sun Stop Blinds. They specialise in the manufacturing of custom made window furnishings such as verticals, venetians, rollers and panel glides. “We love our business and what we do for our customers. It brings us great satisfaction to help our customers and we love it just as much today as the day we started,â€? says Lisa. The team at Sun Stop Blinds do things a bit differently as they not only offer free in-home measure and quotes but also make and install their products for residential and commercial premises. They pride themselves on their dedication to customer service and are backed by 23 years in their own business plus working previously in other blind stores. “We are a family run business and we do everything from the measuring to the making and installing so we know they will fit perfectly and that they will be installed to precision,â€? says Lisa. “One major thing we do differently is providing gorgeous quality at more affordable prices. We work with the customer to ensure the right colours and styles are custom designed for their property.â€? The team works to go above and beyond for all their customers and aims to please. So it’s no wonder they have lasted 23 years to date and Lisa has plans to keep building and improving on her business to ensure customers continue to get the best quality.

hen it comes to school photo day, my family doesn’t have a great track record of things running smoothly. When my son’s kindergarten photo was taken, he had a large, green bruise in the middle of his forehead. My requests for the photographer to photoshop the bruise out of existence fell on deaf ears, ensuring that my son’s collision with the TV cabinet a few days prior was forever immortalised. When I moaned about this travesty, my mother reminded me of how, the day before my grade one school photo, I decided to cut my own fringe with catastrophic consequences. In what was probably a subconscious attempt to right all of those wrongs of the past, I awoke early on the morning of my children’s most recent school photo day, determined to have them looking their glorious best. In the pre-dawn light I was up to my elbows in the laundry basket, trying to find the most un-stained school uniforms we owned. I scrutinised each shirt and dress, discarding anything with signs of grease, permanent marker or dirt, and began ironing the most pristine members of our school uniform collection. Once the kids had eaten and dressed for school (strictly in that order to avoid breakfast spillages), I gave into the girls’ requests for braids and laboriously wove royal blue ribbons through their hair whilst coaxing my son to run a brush through his. All that extra time spent preening meant I had to throw the lunches together in a hurry, and that, dear reader is where I met my downfall. If our

W

mulberry tree hadn’t been fruiting so bountifully the day before, or if I hadn’t been so hellbent on the kids benefitting from all that home-grown goodness, I might have stopped to consider the consequences of my actions. Instead, I grabbed handfuls of mulberries and ensured that each of my kids got a healthy portion for their lunchboxes. And we were away. As I am a member of staff at my children’s school, I happened to be passing by when my son’s class was having their photos taken. I smiled to myself as I observed the beautiful sea of royal blue school uniforms as the children posed for the photographer. But out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a colour that didn’t belong—emanating my son, who seemed to have a large purple blotch on his sleeve. How could that be? I asked myself. How had I managed to miss such an obvious stain that morning when I sorted through the clothes? Was I approaching senility far quicker than I had thought? Unable to contain my desperate curiosity, I approached my son soon after. His first words to me—as he gesticulated wildly with purple fingers, and spoke through purple teeth and lips—were: “Mum! You gave me mulberries for morning tea and the juice went everywhere! I had to wipe my mouth on my sleeve to clean myself up!� I never did get those stains out. Later I read that the pigment from fruits was used by Ancient Egyptians to dye their clothing. If they had school uniforms in ancient times I bet they were all purple.

Leave a legacy to honour their memory. When you arrange a funeral through Bethel Funerals, you can create hope from the sadness.

The more intellectually gifted a person is, the more likely it is that they will know how much they still have to learn. 7. Have fun. One of the hallmarks of giftedness is a sense of humour. Other common traits are excellent vocabulary and high levels of perceptivity. Take time to realise what a gift your child is to you.

Education

A growing number of Queensland schools are providing specific educational programs to cater for gifted and talented children. Robertson State School has been educating the gifted and talented since the 1990s and recognises that they learn differently to other children.

The Queensland Association for Gifted and Talented Children (QAGTC) is a member funded, volunteer based organisation dedicated to supporting gifted children, their families and their educators. In order to find the right school for your gifted child, QAGTC recommends enquiring about curriculum content, specialist programs and whether the school allows children to progress at their own pace. They suggest it’s useful to determine whether or not the school has a policy on gifted children, along with ways in which children can be extended intellectually on a daily basis. Seeking out a school where gifted children are able to work alongside each other is optimal, as experts believe that gifted children thrive when they are given the opportunity to learn alongside their intellectual peers.

Are bucket lists overrated?

 Page 3

A list of your own

With so many experiences to behold in the world, it’s little wonder that narrowing all this down into a list of your own can seem daunting. According to Celes Chua, the process should be uncomplicated and straightforward, and should take no more than an hour of your time. Celes suggests considering the following questions in order to determine what really matters to you: • What if you were to die tomorrow? What would you wish you could do before you die? • What would you do if you had unlimited time, money and resources? • What have you always wanted to do but have not done yet? • Any countries, places or locations you want to visit?

Whilst most life coaches and psychologists agree that establishing goals and working towards them is a valuable process, they caution there are some aspects of the bucket list culture to be wary of. Psychologist Linda Blair agrees that “big” experiences are worthwhile but explains, “Saving up the money, planning with friends, and then the moment as well, I’m all for that. But if you’re constantly living in the future, ignoring what’s going on right now because you’re constantly shooting for goals, which happen so quickly they’re over, and then you have to chase another one, you’re not really living.” Psychotherapist Philippa Perry offers, “We don’t all like swimming with dolphins, but we are all made to connect with each other. That’s the really fun thing to do before you die.” It seems that the most meaningful bucket lists feature a balanced focus on things that will bring joy and meaning, not only to ourselves but to those around us.

MyFitnessPal A powerful app to help you achieve your fitness goals They say that the key to successful weight loss is a consistent, healthy diet coupled with diligent monitoring of energy input versus energy output. Anyone that has tried to lose weight will tell you that it can be very difficult to keep track of your daily nutritional intake, particularly in this age of deceptive ‘light’ and ‘fat free’ foods that can be full of sugar and other nasty things that can quickly ruin all your hard work. This is where MyFitnessPal comes in. It is an app for your smart device that is basically a very robust, electronic food and exercise journal. It is very easy to use and can be an extremely useful asset to help you not only lose weight but also keep track of your exercise and nutritional intake. And best of all, the free version has everything you need.

• Climb Mt Barney • Watch cricket at the MCG

• Learn to skateboard with your kids

Not just a fancy food diary

When you first load up MyFitnessPal and create a profile, it asks for a few details such as your height, weight, age and gender. It then asks if you want to lose or gain weight and at what rate you want to do so. You will then be assigned your daily energy intake target to achieve your goal. The next step is to enter all the food you’ve eaten

14

that day and any exercise you’ve done. The app will then calculate your energy input and output. The most impressive feature of MyFitnessPal is its barcode scanning system. Using your device’s camera, the app can scan the barcode of almost any product and give a complete breakdown of its nutritional information. The app contains a huge database of information and is particularly useful if you are monitoring vitamin or nutrient intake as the food diary can let you know just how much of a particular nutrient you’ve consumed. MyFitnessPal is available on most Android, iPhone and Windows devices. For a detailed guide to downloading and setting up MyFitnessPal, visit www.southcitybulletin.com.au

Jessica, aged 16, is an Australian futsal representative who will travel to Japan and the USA this year to compete on the Australian under20s women’s futsal side.

As a good corporate citizen, the Chamber’s mission is to represent the businesses of Logan and to facilitate interaction with each other, governments and charities, churches and schools.
