Abstract

Eating habits are changing, and snacking or “grazing” is on the increase, especially among children. Most of the convenient, pre‐packaged snack foods such as fizzy drinks, chocolate, crisps and biscuits are high in fat, sugar, salt and calories. This has implications for health. For this reason the Southern Health and Social Services Board (SHSSB), Northern Ireland, together with the Southern Education and Library Board (SELB), Northern Ireland, decided to set up a scheme to reward schools which had a healthy break‐time policy. Outlines an award scheme called Boost Better Breaks. All nursery, primary and post‐primary schools in the SHSSB were encouraged to participate. One of the criteria for qualification was “If any food is permitted at break‐time only fruit and/or milk can be taken”. Nursery schools were also allowed to have healthy snacks. Finds that, of schools in the SHSSB, 9 per cent (27) received the award on its pilot run, and because of its success the award scheme has now been extended to playgroups and special schools.

Abstract

Purpose

This chapter explores the relationships between 12 single mothers with breast cancer and their children, a subtheme of a larger qualitative study.

Design/methodology/approach

Qualitative data were collected via interviews. The study used the ecological systems theoretical framework to explain findings.

Findings

In speaking with women about how they constructed and altered their social networks post-diagnosis, many talked about their relationships with their children. This chapter explains how these mothers discussed their diagnoses with their children in age-appropriate ways; how they relied on their children during treatment for informational and emotional support; and how relationships with their children changed during treatment and recovery.

Research and practical implications

Based on findings from this study, family scientists, public health professionals, and oncology care providers may have a better understanding of the specific concerns and experiences related to the children of breast cancer patients without partners.

Value

This study yields new information about the support needs of single breast cancer patients and their children, and offers insight into what researchers and medical teams can do to better support families affected by breast cancer.

Abstract

The viability of an organisation can be compromised by the tribal behaviour of its members. If this is not understood, attempts to reform it will be met with resistance, since the effort will be perceived as an attack against the norms of the organisation. The paper offers examples and evidence for this, suggests source materials for understanding the phenomenon, and practical techniques for overcoming it.

Abstract

How often today do you hear a woman described as “pleasingly plump”? Never, because this is the “Fitness Generation.” In the past, a woman could be heavy (or zoftig), but today overweight women are just plain fat, ugly, and unhealthy. Even the euphemism “overweight” means “unhealthy.” It comes from “over the weight for maximum life expectancy”—or over the ideal weight determined by life insurance companies—and has extremely negative connotations itself.

Abstract

You probably think that the slimming market is something which belongs to the latter half of the twentieth century. Yet Allan's Anti‐Fat was advertised to our fat predecessors as long ago as 1878. It was a ‘concentrated fluid extract of sea lichens’ that prevented the body from converting food into fat. This was an American concoction, but we British were no better. Dr. Grey's Electric Fat Reducing Pills were advertised in the ‘Illustrated Sporting and Drama News’ of 1893. These were capable of ‘rapidly and quite safely dissolving superfluous fat, permanently curing corpulency, and improving the general health and figure’. He even kept a ‘special preparation for Army, Naval and Hunting Men, Farmers Jockeys and stubborn cases that have resisted other treatment’. It almost sounds as if the upper classes were ‘allowed’ to have a better class of fat! Leeches were once the doctor's stand by for most diseases and obesity was an obvious case for their use. The leeches got fatter while the patient got thinner!

Abstract

HARROGATE will be notable as the venue of the Conference in one or two ways that distinctive. The Association Year is now to begin on January 1st and not in September as heretofore; and, in consequence, there will be no election of president or of new council until the end of the year. The Association's annual election is to take place in November, and the advantages of this arrangement must be apparent to everyone who considers the matter. Until now the nominations have been sent out at a time when members have been scattered to all parts of the country on holiday, and committees of the Council have been elected often without the full consideration that could be given in the more suitable winter time. In the circumstances, at Harrogate the Chair will still be occupied by Sir Henry Miers, who has won from all librarians and those interested in libraries a fuller measure of admiration, if that were possible, than he possessed before he undertook the presidency. There will be no presidential address in the ordinary sense, although Sir Henry Miers will make a speech in the nature of an address from the Chair at one of the meetings. What is usually understood by the presidential address will be an inaugural address which it is hoped will be given by Lord Irwin. The new arrangement must bring about a new state of affairs in regard to the inaugural addresses. We take it that in future there will be what will be called a presidential address at the Annual Meeting nine months after the President takes office. He will certainly then be in the position to review the facts of his year with some knowledge of events; he may chronicle as well as prophesy.

Abstract

Investigates the differences in protocols between arbitral tribunals and courts, with particular emphasis on US, Greek and English law. Gives examples of each country and its way of using the law in specific circumstances, and shows the variations therein. Sums up that arbitration is much the better way to gok as it avoids delays and expenses, plus the vexation/frustration of normal litigation. Concludes that the US and Greek constitutions and common law tradition in England appear to allow involved parties to choose their own judge, who can thus be an arbitrator. Discusses e‐commerce and speculates on this for the future.
