Many models are under pressure from agents and designers to be thin. So, many of them develop eating disorders. Recently, several models have died as a result of eating disorders. Others turn to drugs in order to fight their body’s natural desire for food. In addition, many girls idolize models and feel the need to mirror their thinness. Models of a very low weight are setting bad examples for these girls and should be responsible for the increasing number of girls with eating disorders.
Therefore, we should press fashion industry not to employ very skinny models. Setting a minimum weight limit for models would be a great way. It would protect models, and ensure that young girls would not adopt extreme diets.

How does deflation harm the economy?
During a deflation, people spend less, which slows down economic growth.
January 20, 2009

What would you guess is the one word that central governments around the world are most afraid of these days?

In the midst of a global economic downturn, that word is most likely to be “deflation.”

This word refers to a continuous decrease in the prices of products and services.

It’s the opposite of inflation, which means that the general price of products and services will rise.

At first glance, a decrease in prices sounds like a good thing.

It sounds like you can save money because goods are cheaper.

This is an understandable response. Korea has a lot of experience with inflation.

But deflation is relatively new to us.

However, if prices go down steadily over a prolonged period, the economy can suffer.

Deflation is just as harmful as inflation.

Think of it this way: Both high and low blood pressure are bad for your health.

Why is deflation a danger to the economy?

Deflation over a long period can lead to a catastrophe like the Great Depression that started in 1929 in the United States.

This event was the most serious economic depression in the 20th century.

If prices persistently go down, what will happen?

First, consumers will not want to buy any products. They will wait because they think prices will go down even more.

If products don’t sell and are left to pile up in storage, companies eventually reduce production.

If this happens, companies will need fewer employees and will eventually fire staff, which will raise the rate of unemployment.

If the number of people who are unemployed keeps going up, the average income in households will decrease, which will make people tighten up their wallets even more.

This will once again lead to people buying less and a further fall in prices.

In short, with this deflationary downturn, the economy will shrink and eventually deteriorate.

If product prices fall, the value of money goes up.

In contrast, inflation destroys the value of money. For example, if a loaf of bread costing $3 during normal economic times rises to cost $5 or even $10 because of inflation, each dollar you own is basically worthless.

In times of deflation, that loaf will cost $2 maybe even $1 or even less, making every dollar more valuable than before.

Therefore, deflation makes people hang on to their cash. They stop buying products, real estate and stocks, leading to a massive economic slowdown.

If deflation gets worse, banks will suffer because they have loaned people money through mortgages to buy homes.

The problem is falling property prices.

A mortgage is a loan people use to borrow money from the bank or a company.

If a borrower fails to pay back the loan, the lender has the right to repossess the borrower’s house.

But if deflation is wrecking the economy, the value of the house might not be enough to cover the original loan. This means the bank loses money.

If many people fail to pay back their loans when house prices are falling, banks will eventually think it is too risky to loan any more money.

If banks act this way, it will get harder for companies to find sources of money.

This results in a liquidity crisis because there is no money fueling the economy and businesses eventually go bust.

Because people are worried about prolonged deflation, countries are doing everything they can to lower interest rates and feed money back into the system.

Ben Bernanke, the U.S. Federal Reserve’s chairman of the Board of Governors, made a speech back in 2002 in which he repeated U.S. economist Milton Friedman’s statement that money could be “dropped from helicopters” if needed in order to avert a deflationary depression.

However, there is a limit to how much a government can “devalue” money by lowering interest rates.

The key interest rates in the U.S. and Japan have already approached 0 percent.

Also, if a global economic slowdown affects the real economy, people will become wary about the future and spending money.

So even if an opportunity for investment occurs or if valuable products come out at cheap prices, consumers won’t want to spend cash.

In times like this, governments get involved by spending tax dollars on large public projects to boost spending and investment.

The U.S., Europe, Japan and China have all started large civic projects. Korea has, too.

The government’s sudden announcement to develop the nation’s rivers and roads for large-scale investment projects should be seen in this context.

There is a reason for this “sudden” decision.

If governments don’t act fast enough to prevent the situation from getting worse, there will be no medicine to make the situation better.

After all, look what happened to Japan in the 1990s, the “lost decade.”

During this time there were simultaneous asset, real estate and stock price bubbles.

Before this, Japan experienced an economic high and could stand almost on par with the U.S. economy.

But during the downturn, companies that had invested in real estate and banks that loaned out mortgages lost huge sums of money.

After this, Japan’s economy developed at a snail’s pace.

In particular, belated government efforts to improve the economy simply made the situation worse.

By the time Japan lowered interest rates and supplied cash, the deflationary spiral had already gone too far downhill, and nobody wanted to spend or invest.

At present, governments around the world are pumping out cash to prevent a similar situation from arising. Nobody wants a lost decade.

However, no one is sure if these attempts at solving the problem will work. Everyone is waiting to see what happens next.

However, even if this plan succeeds, most experts say there will be consequences.

The massive amounts of cash the central government has printed and the loans that it borrowed for funding public projects will eventually become a burden for the general public.

At present, governments have decided to spread the pain.

The idea is so that we will feel less pain but over a longer period, which governments think is better than a short, sharp shock.

Did you know that quality of sleep changes through five sleep transitions? Doctors and psychologists say that a predictable sleep is a must for good health. The question is, how can a good night’s sleep happen? Knowing the different stages of sleep would be helpful for people suffering from sleep deprivation, interruption, insomnia, stress or worry. Of course there are temporary obstacles to sleep which can be solved. For example, a new born baby in the family or a big exam next day can be the causes. And such issues can be solved with perseverance and patience. Other problems that can disturb sleep may require a managing solution. Knowing the sleep stages and possible causes of sleeplessness will provide us the needed tools to start a readjustment of our sleep patterns.

As mentioned above, sleep quality transitions from one stage to the next. And each stage is followed by
subtle changes in bodily functions. As most of you may have guessed, the first stage is drowsiness: Eyes start to shut and the stage lasts approximately ten minutes. The transition goes from being awake to falling asleep with slower breathing. In such a period, we still make a fairly fast response to any interruptions since we are very aware of our physical surroundings. If you are aroused in this stage, you may feel as if you had no sleep at all.

The second stage is light sleep. The eye
movement stops and so does the blood pressure and heart rates. Body temperature generally falls and muscles begin to relax. In this stage, you are no longer aware of your surroundings and this can be considered the beginning of real sleep.

The third and fourth stages are followed by
deep sleep. Through these two stages your body generates and repairs tissues while developing bone and muscle. The immune system is provided with a boost and restores the lost energies from your day.

The final stage is called Rapid Eye Movement. It is marked with many
physiological changes like accelerated respiration, fast brain activity, eye movement and muscle relaxation. During this stage, people may dream due to much brain activity and the paralysis of major muscles in the body. If one wakes up from this stage of sleep, he or she will remember the dream in a vivid fashion.

In order to maintain consistency between sleeping and waking up well, a hot bath or shower, listening to soft music and drinking caffeine-free herbal tea before bed can be helpful. Regular exercise during the day several hours before bed can also be helpful. Lastly, remember that sugar, caffeine and alcohol must be avoided before heading for bed. We all should know the need for uninterrupted, deep sleep. Everyone needs to fall asleep well every night to rejuvenate the energy we need for our daily battles.

Most of us are aware of the fact that life started in the sea. Early simple forms of life turned complex over time and eventually the fish evolved. Later they gave way to marine reptiles and soon to giant marine mammals. During this long passage of evolution, there were five major extinctions. Perhaps, we, the highest life forms may be responsible for the sixth.

It is thought that Mother Earth is
approximately 4.5 billion years old. We have come to the conclusion that life started to evolve about 3.5 billion years ago under the sea. Obviously the first organisms to breathe air were single celled similar to modern bacteria, with true cells evolving about 2 billion years ago. Scientists predict many natural evolutionary experiments took place, and most of the weird creatures that were fossilized came from this period in time.

Here’s a list of extinctions that drastically altered our planet:
1. 443 million years ago: Early
invertebrates wiped out.
2. 368 million years ago: Only 20% of marine families
remained.
3. 252 million years ago: More than half the animals wiped out.
4. 200 million years ago: The end of the very
successful ammonites.
5. 65 million years ago: The end of most marine reptiles, and
dinosaurs on land.

We may
provide the sixth extinction!

Between 418-354 million years ago, fish were
recognized as the highest life forms in the sea. Now, they are no gold fish. Many of them were large armored beings with four fins! The coelacanths from this period are the ancestors of amphibians and reptiles. 250 million years ago, the sea was re-colonized by the land reptiles. And they were quite successful until the last extinction took them out with the dinosaurs.

They
reigned the oceans as the top predators for 200 million years, and the ichthyosaur behaved like the dolphins do today. Mammals started to evolve on land after the dinosaurs and marine reptiles were wiped out. Approximately 50 million years ago, some of these land mammals went back to the sea, and the first of the whales started to appear. After 14 millions years, the ancestors of marine mammals like dugongs and seals joined them. In this day and age, sharks and some coelacanths have still remained since the age of fish, and of course the turtles remained from the age of reptiles. Well, it may be only a matter of time before such life forms will disappear as well. Natural phenomena caused all five previous extinctions. Let’s hope human activity won’t turn into the next cause.

From March, instant cup noodles will be banned at school cafeterias nationwide. The Korea Food and Drug Administration (KFDA)식품의약품안전청 announced last week that it decided to remove junk foods from schools that are high in calories but low in nutrition. Elementary, middle and high schools all across the country will stop selling 90 percent of instant cup noodles, 65 percent of sodas, and 22 percent of snacks.

The KFDA said that as young students’
obesity rate is increasing sharply and a growing number of Korean teens are suffering from various health problems, it will take actions to help them have healthier eating habits. Over the past 8 years, the number of obese students has more than doubled and fast foods, including instant cup noodles, are thought to be the main contributors.
According to a recent study, 5-9 year old boys and girls are obese 8.3 percent and 9.5 percent
respectively. Also, 17.9 percent of 10-14-year-old boys are overweigh while 11.4 percent of girls of the same age group are obese. The study said that unhealthy and unbalanced eating habits and buying ready-made fast foods without knowing the contents increased the obesity rates.

In order to fight against child obesity, the government will set limits for selling high-calorie foods at schools. Snacks that contain more than 250 kilocalories, 4 grams of saturated fat, or 17 grams of sugar per serving will be prohibited. Foods with excessive amounts of sodium (over 1,000 milligrams per serving) or those that contain more than 500 kilocalories will also be banned. These snacks will be categorized as high fat, low nutrition foods.

Besides banning junk food at school cafeterias, the government will also prohibit the advertisement of high-calorie, low-nutrition foods during children’s prime television viewing time. The KFDA will ask restaurants and food makers to notify their consumers of the nutritional value of their foods, too.

Cristiano Ronaldo wins FIFA Player of the Year
January 14, 2009
Manchester United’s Cristiano Ronaldo is named FIFA World Player of the Year. He is the first winner from the Premier League. [AP]
ZURICH, Switzerland - Cristiano Ronaldo won the FIFA World Player of the Year award on Monday (early yesterday, Korean time) to complete a clean sweep of football’s top individual honors for 2008.

The 23-year-old Portugal winger was honored for his dominating displays and sparkling goals in leading Manchester United to both the Premier League and Champions League titles in May, receiving 136 first-place votes and 935 points in a worldwide poll of national team captains and coaches.

“It is an overwhelming moment, a very special moment in my life,” Ronaldo said in his acceptance speech. “I would like to say to my mother and sister that the fireworks can be fired off now.”

The result was announced by Brazil’s all-time great Pele at a ceremony in Zurich, with Barcelona and Argentina midfielder Lionel Messi coming in second with 678 points, while Liverpool striker Fernando Torres was third with 203.

Brazil’s Marta won the women’s award for the third year in a row, after announcing earlier Monday she is joining the Los Angeles Sol in the Women’s Professional Soccer league.

Ronaldo became the first player from the English Premier League to win the award in its 18-year history, after scoring 42 goals in all competitions last season.

He missed the start of this season with an injury, and has struggled to recapture his top form after returning. He has eight league goals so far, but the last came in November.

Messi, meanwhile, led Argentina to the Olympic gold in Beijing and has helped Barcelona take a commanding lead of the Spanish league, scoring 20 goals in 22 games this season.

Still, Ronaldo was widely expected to receive the honor, after previously winning the Ballon D’Or as European player of the year and World Soccer magazine’s player of the year award.

Before the award was announced, the orchestra at the Zurich Opera House even gave a not-so-subtle hint by performing an aria from Handel’s “Rinaldo.”

AC Milan playmaker Kaka, last year’s winner, and Barcelona midfielder Xavi Hernandez were also finalists for the award.

Ronaldo is the second Portuguese player to win the title following Luis Figo in 2001, when David Beckham - who also wore the No. 7 shirt for Manchester United - was the runner-up.

“It is a dream for me to get this prize because I want to bring the team and my country forward,” Ronaldo said. “I would like to dedicate it to my family. This is the most important thing to me.”

Before the ceremony, Ronaldo also paid tribute to United manager Alex Ferguson and his former Portugal coach Luiz Felipe Scolari - who now manages United’s rival Chelsea - for helping him achieve his goals.

“Mr. Ferguson and Mr. Scolari were decisive,” he said through an interpreter at a news conference. “I would like to thank them for making me the player I am today.”
