Glaucoma Diagnosis and Treatment Advances Mark Awareness in Maine

“Earlier detection and diagnosis gives patients the best range of glaucoma treatment options whether it be using eye drops, laser treatment or if necessary even glaucoma surgery,” said Glaucoma Specialist Robert Daly, M.D.

“At Eyecare Medical Group in Portland, Maine, January represents the time we pay particular attention to getting the word out reminding patients to take advantage of the advances in the diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma as this sight stealing eye disease is a leading cause of preventable blindness,” commented Clement Berry, Chief Executive Officer of Eyecare Medical Group. Prevent Blindness America has designated January as National Glaucoma Awareness Month. In African-American and Hispanic populations, Glaucoma is the leading cause of blindness. “The advances in our ability to diagnose Glaucoma with the high technology imaging instrumentation we have brought to Maine has certainly given our patients access to better glaucoma screening and diagnosis methods and thus earlier detection-a key to maintaining eye health and vision,” stated Glaucoma Specialist Samuel Solish, M.D. of Eyecare Medical Group. “Our goal for 2012 is to really raise awareness about the importance of regular eye examinations to preserve vision especially for our aging population. We especially recommend that siblings of Glaucoma patients and Glaucoma suspects be screened for Glaucoma, each and every year,” said Dr. Solish.

Eyecare Medical Group is a leading ophthalmology practice in Portland, Maine staffed by a team of eye care specialists including eye doctors who are fellowship trained glaucoma specialists, retina specialists, cornea specialists and cataract and lens implant specialists-all board certified Ophthalmologists-as well as Optometrists, Opticians, technical and administrative staff who provide eye examinations for adults and children, cataract surgery and intraocular lens implants, (IOL), laser vision correction such as LASIK, diagnosis and treatment of cornea disease including cornea transplants, care for diseases of the retina including diabetes and age related macular degeneration and diagnosis and treatment of glaucoma.

Year of the Dead Scottish Credit Card Repayment

R3 a leading insolvency body has reported that 2012 it will be a tough year for UK residents with financial difficulties, many of who are judged to be Zombie Debtors.

R3 a leading insolvency body has reported that 2012 it will be a tough year for UK residents with financial difficulties, many of who are judged to be Zombie Debtors.

What is a Zombie Debtor?

Firstly, Zombie Debtors should not be confused with a Zombie Debt.

Previous address bills and forgotten debts that become reactivated after successful tracing attempts or after they are bought by debt purchase companies buying old delinquent accounts for a low price are considered to be a Zombie Debt.

Someone who has been described as a Zombie Debtor is an individual who is experiencing financial difficulties and who lives on a month-to-month basis, paying the bear minimum and only paying off the interest of the debt.

If only minimum payments are being made then there is no realistic chance that the debt can be cleared and unfortunately for some people, the risk of being exposed to toxic debt levels only increases when a sudden change of circumstances occur such as a job loss or new member of the family.

In a lot of cases, people do not even need to see a drastic change in order to face their own apocalypse but the ever-rising cost of living is pushing some individuals into insolvency.

In 2011, Glasgow City Centre saw filming for a Hollywood movie entitled World War Z and the film (which boosted Glasgow’s economy) is set to be released in 2012 and with this, there is a fitting reminder of what people in Scotland are facing with, if they can be classified as Zombie Debtor.

In 2011 Trust Deed Scotland helped thousands of people by providing ethical debt advice and fortunately, there is help available for people in this position to overcome their financial difficulties and enjoy the prospect of a life free from debt.

Trust Deeds and a form of Debt Management in Scotland known as a Debt Arrangement Scheme, use government legislation to control debts and restructure personal debt so that people are paying back their unsecured debts based on what they can realistically afford to repay.

No movie release by the great director George A. Romero ever revealed a cure to any portrayed Zombie Epidemic but for Zombie Debtors living in Scotland, there appears to be more than one potential cure to the disease of personal debt.

To find out more, contact Trust Deed Scotland today or find out more information on What is a Trust Deed.

Gastric Band For The Mind To Help People Lose Weight

Hypnotherapist's recordings help people shed the pounds, and keep them off - with five year guarantee

GASTRIC BAND FOR THE MIND TO HELP PEOPLE LOSE WEIGHT

A UK hypnotherapist has launched two new packages to help people lose weight and stay on track with their New Year’s Resolutions.

Stoke-on-Trent-based Life Change Consultant Mark O’Donoghue, MD of Purple Smarties, has created the systems to provide advice and support which focuses on the causes of weight gain, rather than the weight itself.

The packages use MP3 recordings on subjects like stress, motivation, and cravings, and take a Japanese approach called kaizen, which encourages people to make small, incremental changes instead of big ones which cause lots of disruption.

One of the packages, called the Virtual Gastric Band, is described as a ‘gastric band for the mind’ as it creates the illusion that the stomach is smaller - as if the listener had had an actual gastric band fitted.

Mark O’Donoghue said: “Many diets are quick, temporary fixes which focus on the weight issue itself and can be dangerous in the long-term because the body is being starved of vital nutrients.

“People are not usually psychologically prepared for the diet, or coming off it, and often put on more weight.

“It is much more effective if they get to the bottom of the reasons for the weight issue, for example lots of people comfort eat for emotional reasons.

“Our recordings would help them deal with the reason for their comfort eating - for example low self-esteem - and keep the weight off for good.”

The packages come with an MP3 player, which has the recordings pre-loaded onto it, and a tape measure.

Mark O’Donoghue is a qualified hypnotherapist, and a member of the NRH (The National Regulatory Register of Hypnotherapists).

He specialises in a range of treatments including Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Visual Coding Displacement Therapy (VCDT), and Hypnotherapy.

He also offers Smoking Cessation Therapy, and has a success rate of 92% from the 286 clients he has helped through NHS Stop Smoking Sessions, compared to the national average of 22%.

Overwhelming Response To First-Round Admissions For 2012-13 Young India Fellowships

Following the success of the first application round for 2012-13 Young India Fellowships, admissions have opened for the second and final round.

Second and final round open in search for 2012-13 batch of Young India Fellows

- Almost 1000 applications already received in first round of admissions for this unique multi-disciplinary post-graduate programme in association with Ivy League, University of Pennsylvania (UPenn)

- World-class faculty from various domains of expertise - names such as Andre Béteille, Rudrangshu Mukherjee, Radha S. Hegde, Vivek Bhandari and UPenn professors, Kenwyn Smith and Dwight Jaggard - expected to return for 2012-13 academic year

- Last date for submission of applications: 28th February 2012

New Delhi, January 2, 2011: Following the success of the first application round for 2012-13 Young India Fellowships, admissions have opened for the second and final round. A total of 915 applications were received for the 50 places, more than the 750 overall received for the inaugural 2011-12 batch. Applications have come from graduates of institutions including IITs, BITS Pilani, St. Stephen's College, Loyola College and Jadavpur College, and from engineers, lawyers, doctors, architects and social science, humanities and fine arts students. Graduate students now have until February 28 to submit their applications for the second round of admissions.

Run in partnership with the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn), the Young India Fellowship Programme (YIFP) is a one-year, fully funded multi-disciplinary post-graduate course based in New Delhi. It seeks to create India’s next generation of socially conscious business and community leaders by providing them with an education that integrates academic breadth with real-life work experience. A minimum of 50 recent graduates from diverse subject areas, who combine excellent academic ability with an evolved interest in an area outside their field of study, will be selected to be a part of the Fellowship for 2012-13.

Dean, Dr. Pramath Raj Sinha, also founding dean of the Indian School of Business, said YIFP was searching for India’s brightest young people, those who wanted to make a difference and discover their true potential. “I strongly encourage university graduates who have the vision, drive, passion and ability to achieve at the highest level and who aspire to be change agents for India to apply for the Fellowship,” he said. “We believe that YIFP is unsurpassed in its ability to create tomorrow’s leaders. YIFP’s multi-disciplinary academic course, its practical and focused internship project and many opportunities to interact with some of India’s and the world’s finest thinkers and leaders is unrivalled.”

During the first round of admissions, applications have been received from graduates hailing from villages to major metros, and there is an equal proportion of female and male applicants. Online applications were filled out by 865 applicants and an additional 50 applied by mail. Three-hundred are subsequently being called up for telephonic and personal interviews, with in-person interviews beginning January 1 and continuing till January 21, 2012.

Applications are invited from students across the country - from diverse academic and social backgrounds. The rigorous admission process for YIFP starts with applicants filling out a detailed application dossier designed to give an insight into their multi-faceted personalities. “This is followed by a telephone interview and an exercise to test applicants’ ability to work as part of a team before the final personal interaction to select a Young India Fellow,” YIFP Deputy Dean, Dr. Anunaya Chaubey, said.

To ensure it gets the highest-calibre applicants, the YIFP admissions team will resume presentations at higher education institutions this month - at Kolkata, Mumbai and Guwahati, covering such institutions as St Xavier’s, Presidency, Jadavpur, HRM College of Commerce and TISS. They have already visited institutions ranging from Kashmir University and NID (Ahmedabad) to IITs, Delhi University, St Xavier’s College, Loyola College (Chennai), Christ University (Bangalore) and Symbiosis (Pune), among others.

Meantime, the inaugural 2011-12 batch are completing Term 6 of the year-long programme, having recently studied courses such as leadership, visual communication and algorithms. They are now heavily engaged in their Experiential Learning Module real-life internship projects with corporations and organisations including Genpact, Harley-Davidson, Bharat Light and Power and the Council for Environment, Energy and Water (CEEW). Their attainments since joining YIFP include winning a Fulbright Scholarship, the 2011 World Bank Essay competition and the opportunity to represent India at the UNESCO Youth Forum in Paris.

YIFP Faculty is drawn from UPenn as well as other leading universities in India, the US and the UK. Fellows are mentored by industry leaders such as NR Narayana Murthy (Founder, Infosys), Deepak Parekh (Chairman, HDFC), Kiran Karnik (Satyam), Keki Dadiseth (Sony) and Anoop Prakash (Harley-Davidson).

The academic session starts in June 2012. Visit www.youngindiafellowship.com and click on “Apply Now”.

ISO 9001 Certification Gives SEO Copywriting Firm, Fountain Partnership, A Competitive Advantage

ISO 9001 certifications used to be something that was valued in industries like manufacturing and construction. However, since the financial crisis of 2008, more businesses in the tertiary sector are becoming ISO 9001 certified.

Fountain Partnership, a SEO Copywriting and digital agency, has become the first online marketing agency to become ISO 9001 certified in the East of England. By achieving the ISO 9001 standard, they are committing to a high level of quality management. Such standards are rare in the marketing sector - making this quite an exceptional move. However, since the global downturn, companies from a range of industries are looking to gain a competitive advantage. Becoming ISO 9001 certified is one way of getting ahead of competitors.

Marcus Hemsley, Director of SEO Copywriting and Strategy says: “While our main focus is on getting a clear return on investment for our clients, it is important to demonstrate that we are committed to quality in every aspect of our business. Many companies say they have all the systems in place to take on a large contract, but until you get independently assessed and ISO certified, potential clients will never know for sure. Becoming ISO 9001 certified has certainly helped us in bidding for work.”

While the economic crash of 2008 has led to fewer companies becoming ISO 9001 certified, the ISO industry has seen companies from a range of new sectors gaining the certification.

Peter Gamble, MD of QMS International PLC, one of the leading companies who offer ISO certifications says: “Having certified over 19,000 organisations in 60 countries, we have seen time and time again that being ISO certified helps companies stand out from their competition when going through the tendering process.”

He went on to say: “It’s great to see marketing companies such as Fountain Partnership committing to quality in the workplace - I’m sure it will serve them well”.

If the ISO 9001 certification does give Fountain Partnership Ltd the advantage the believe it will, it is likely that further marketing companies in the East of England will follow suit.
