Lessons On Aneroxia From Top Supermodel Gisele Bundchen
Are the fashion houses or the media to be blamed for the increasing number of anorexia cases seen nowadays? It has been the case that the fashion houses and the media are slammed for promoting skinny models until the death of a top Brazilian model last year.
Not so, said top Supermodel Gisele Bundchen, in an interview, last Friday. she put the blame on weak family support for anorexia. Gisele Bundchen was ranked the 16th richest women in Forbe’s list of 20 richest women in entertainment last week. Despite having a faboulous killer body, she claimed that she was a popcorn, candy and McDonald’s sundae lover. in fact, she was discovered when she was 14 years old while having a McDonald’s Big Mac with her friends at Sao Paulo on her way to school.
In the interview last week, Gisele said that she never suffered from the problem because she had a strong family base. Gisele herself comes from Brazil and has credited her family from being supportive of her since young despite looking skinny. in school, her peers had often teased her by calling her names like Olive Oyle, a thin character from Popeye. Gisele attributed her genes for giving her the silhouette that is suitable for modeling.
Interestingly, the interview was conducted during Fashion Rio show, which has banned models of under 16 years of age and also required models to prove that they are of good health. The strict guidelines follow the death of a top Brazilian model from complications due to anorexia nervosa.
Nonetheless, the fashion industry has also started to pay heed. in September last year, Spain refused to allow models below a certain weight from the Madrid fashion shows. The Italians also signed a pact not to take in sickly and skinny girls onto the catwalk.
Here are a couple of messages that can be learnt from the supermodel herself. Good family support is essential in preventing anorexia in the first place. thus, surround yourself in a warm and loving environment whereby there is constant communication of love and acceptance of each other, despite perceived flaws or imperfections in body shape or behaviour.
Anorexia patients themselves should also seek out the company of a close, supportive network of family and friends. often enough, they are ashamed of their body and condition and do not want others to know about their condition. Having the assurance of love and support can help the patient put things into perspective and to overcome their eating disorder.
While it may be that the media and the fashion houses play a role in promoting the idea of a skinny body as the perfect body image, anorexia patients have to learn to take some responsibility for themselves. Get help instead of resisting help. Anorexia patients should pay heed to well meaning advice from family and friends about their condition and seek proactive measures to stop their eating disorders. Where support from family is lacking, it appears that there are now plenty of support groups and treatment centers for counselling and professional help available.

Snow heading for central US, but not areas north
we desperately need the snow. haven’t had anything to speak of since last november and we have had to water the smaller trees and shrubs several times just so they don’t die from this dry spell. the latest noaa predictions have a lot of areas getting 20″ of snow and some areas are showing up to 30″. thats great but the one bad thing, the wind. they also expect gusts from 30-45 mph creating white conditions and drifts several feet high. if all pans out it will be the first real winter storm in these parts going back almost a decade. hopefully people will be smart enough and play it safe by fueling up in advance, having enough food, meds etc. on hand for a few days or more for those of us who live in rural areas as well as having everything fully charged in case the power goes out. because of the freakishly warm january we’ve had with most days in the 50s and 60s a lot of places will see it start out as rain, then ice, then snow. not uncommon for areas further east but we don’t get rain/ice here, just doesn’t happen. oh well, let it snow, let it snow.

CITY LOOKS TO BOLSTER OFFSEASON PETCO EVENTS CITY AIMS FOR MORE EVENTS AT PETCO PARK
SAN DIEGO — After two years of disappointing revenue from offseason events at Petco Park, a San Diego City Council committee opted to move forward with a plan aimed at increasing the activity at the downtown ballpark.
Meanwhile, an evolving proposal emerged that would give the Padres a greater share of the offseason revenues the ballclub now shares with the city. Mayor Jerry Sanders’ office said East Village stakeholders have expressed concern that a lack of traffic during fall and winter have hurt businesses.
The committee voted unanimously to work with the Padres to have more offseason activity at the park, including concerts and amateur sporting events.
The current arrangement calls for the city to receive 70 percent of the revenue while the Padres collect 30 percent — a split that Erik Greupner, the team’s senior vice president, said is a disincentive for hosting events.
Greupner said overhead costs not factored into the revenue split mean the Padres barely break even on smaller events.
“We’re forced into a very conservative position where we can only take events that are big winners,” he said. “And that doesn’t happen as often as we’d like.”
The proposed new deal would seek to give 70 percent of offseason event revenues to the Padres to help cover some of their overhead costs. But regardless of the income, the city would be guaranteed at least $300,000 a year.
Council President Tony Young requested the city’s independent budget analyst look into a sliding scale of revenue sharing. for example, for the first $2 million dollars of revenue, a 70-30 split would be used, and that would move to a 50-50 arrangement for all additional revenue.
The full City Council will discuss how the new deal will work in the coming months.
Since Petco Park opened in 2004, offseason events have generated just over $1 million annually for the Padres and the city.
After consistently growing revenue each year, revenues plummeted from a peak of $2 million 2009 to $336,000 in 2010. Though revenue bounced back to just over $1 million in 2011, city officials said they would like to see more events generate more money.
The biggest year for offseason events was in 2009 when the USA Sevens rugby tournament and singer Madonna brought in $1.5 million combined.
San Diego can’t have Madonna perform at Petco Park every year, but the city and the Padres hoped the rugby tournament or a similar event would account for annual income. After holding it at Petco Park from 2007 to 2009, tournament organizers moved it to Las Vegas.
“We want to go after more events like that,” Young said. “A lot of those events put heads in beds. it might not have a big impact at Petco itself, but it could be a lot of money for the city of San Diego.”
