Joy Ann Biscette is all set for her three week long trip to São Paulo, Brazil where she will compete against beauties from all over the world for the 2011 Miss Universe crown! The 25-year-old says although sponsorship for her participation in the pageant left much to be desired, there were people who were making it possible in a very significant way.
According to Joy Ann, dress designer Queen Esther ensured she left for Brazil on Saturday, August 20 looking like she’d already won the pageant, as did her national costume designer Giovanni St Omer.
Assistance also came from the St Lucia Social Development Fund (SSDF), boutiques like Cathy’s, Elegance, Just My Size, Lucky Stop, Joycelyn’s, Show Off, Ann’s, Joan’s and more!
“I’m really happy because what I wear, it might sound silly, down to what I go to bed with is important,” she laughed. “Clothing is very important. I’m working with independent make-up artist Alanna Mathurin for make-up tips.”
When asked about her feelings toward the pageant on September 12, Joy Ann revealed she had mixed emotions.
“Part of me wants to leave so I can start this thing, the whole process and another part of me feels like boy, I’d like to stay home for a little while! Time is going by so quickly. I believe that Joy Ann is ready for the pageant. I see myself being in the top 15, I’d love to be there. It’s just going and giving a good account of myself. I feel like I have everything I need to assist me. I have everything that matters and the rest is up to me.”
St Lucians can play a part by voting to determine whether Joy Ann wins People’s Choice when it comes to who makes the top 15. Visit abc.com or missuniverse.com. Everyone has up to 10 votes per day, per e-mail address. Read more about Joy Ann in our next issue!

In 2006, Members of the European Parliament were warned that keeping Taiwan out of the World Health Organization (WHO) increased the risk of a bird flu pandemic on the continent. Experts asked the EU to put pressure on China to remove its objections to Taiwanese involvement in avian influenza defense structures organized by the WHO. Birds fly freely; bird flu recognizes no borders.
Taiwan has 200,000 health professionals, yet, due to Mainland Chinese pressure, they are not allowed to assist the WHO in fighting global pandemics. This hurts not only Taiwan, but the rest of the world too. Palestinians, who have no State, have observer status in the WHO, but Taiwan does not. Taiwan should be part of a proper global public health network in order to protect the world. The problem of co-operation in pandemic preparedness could be solved at the stroke of a pen.
In 2007, the WHO Director General Margaret Chan, was criticized for failing to notify Taiwan about a food borne outbreak in Thailand. Because Taiwan is a major hub for trans-shipping cargo there was a real risk of contaminated products being trans-shipped to other states.
A US Congressman expressed the hope that in the future the WHO would focus more on carrying out its mission and less on complying with Communist China’s foreign policy demands. The WHO’s motto is, after all, “Health For All”.
Finally, in 2009, the WHO recognized the importance of Taiwan and the necessity of including the nation in matters concerning the health of the whole world by bestowing upon the country the status of Observer to the WHA, the World Health Assembly, which is the decision- making body of WHO. Mainland China, in reflection of the ever-improving relations between the two countries did not object.
The WHA is attended by delegations from all WHO Member States and focuses on a specific health agenda prepared by the Executive Board. The main functions of the World Health Assembly are to determine the policies of the Organization, appoint the Director-General, supervise financial policies, and review and approve the proposed program budget. The Health Assembly is held annually in Geneva, Switzerland. On December 10, 1948, the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 2 of which states: “Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status.
Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non-self- governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.” It is obvious to all that Taiwan and Mainland China share the same race, colour, sex, language, and religious beliefs; they differ only in matters political.
The United Nations has failed to live up to its own Declaration of Human Rights in violating the Rights of Taiwan and its 24 million people for political reasons. The World’s business community recognizes, of course, the importance of Taiwan. More and more, international companies are listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange, ironically enough, because it is helpful for business in Mainland China. Array Networks is a Silicon Valley hardware company that sells devices that encrypt network traffic. When the security vendor was ready for an initial public offering, it headed to Taipei. On its first day of trading, the stock opened at about 46 cents, and closed at $1.22.
Array has 200 employees in Mainland China, and, had a 43% market share there in 2007 for its principal devices, making Mainland China a natural choice for an initial public offering. However, China does not allow foreign companies to be listed on its stock exchange, whereas Taiwan does. Economically, Mainland China benefits from Taiwan’s policies, while it continues to insist the rest of the world boycott its closest relative and deny the people of Taiwan representation in the halls of international organizations. ICAO, the International Civil Aviation Organization, is yet another body that is essential to the safely and health of all people. One would assume that its intention was to include all nations whose territory has “airspace” in which flights operate. However, yet again, due to the opposition of Mainland China, Taiwan is refused membership; not even its modest requests for observer status to safeguard the security of international flights transiting its territory are heeded. Annex 6 of the Convention of Civil Aviation exists “to contribute to the safety of international air navigation by providing criteria for safe operating practices, and to contribute to the efficiency and regularity of international air navigation.”
Of course, Taiwan conforms to the regulations and ensures the safe passage, efficiency and regularity of international air traffic, but the country is neither recognized, nor its contribution acknowledged, by the international community. Taiwan airspace is amongst the safest and most efficiently run in the world.
Without the efforts of Taiwan, the potentially dangerous gap created by Mainland China’s freezing out of Taiwan in the global aviation network would present an extreme hazard to the safe transit of literally millions of air passengers each year through Taiwanese airspace. Taiwan’s aviation authorities exchange important aviation information thousands of times daily with almost every country worldwide that might conceivably use its airspace or be affected by events in Taiwan, yet ICAO refuses to allow the country to partake in any of its meetings, mechanisms or activities.
What is even more amazing and incomprehensible is that ICAO, in its 18th council session, gave Taiwan, a country it does not recognize nor allow to partake in its meetings, the approval to establish the Taipei Flight Information Region (FIR), making Taiwan an important link between Hong Kong, Manila in the Philippines, and Fukuoka, Japan, FIRs. There are 12 international routes and 4 domestic routes in Taipei FIR; 23 million passengers from all over the world on 400,000 flights are safely guided by Taiwanese Air Traffic Controllers within Taipei Flight Information Region each year. In all probability, not one
single passenger ever
reflects on the fact that he or she is being guarded over by angels on the ground that, officially, do not exist. Taipei FIR provides Air Traffic control service in a safe, expedient, and orderly manner in accordance with international standards and regulations, real time and long term flight information to aircraft, airports and airlines, airport weather conditions, short term weather forecast, satellite images and en route weather forecasts.
FIR authorities also provide Aeronautical Telecommunication Services consisting of telecommunication services between specified fixed points provided primarily for the safety of air navigation and for the regular, efficient and economical operation of air services’ two-way communication between stations on the surface of the earth and aircraft.
Given all the above, ICAO should, just as the WHO did in 2009, recognize the reality of Taiwan’s contribution to aviation in the world. Taiwan is an essential partner in global aviation, a country whose services to Aviation have
been recognized and
approved by ICAO. There is absolutely no reason why Taiwan should not take its place, perhaps initially with observer status, at all ICAO meetings.
This is not a matter for politics; it is a question of safety, decency, and the recognition of reality. If the world of aviation and the International Civil Aviation Organization authority in particular cannot agree
on the participation of Taiwan in its meetings, mechanisms and activities, perhaps it is time for aircraft to be marked with warnings like packs of cigarettes: “The Surgeon General has determined that aviation may be hazardous to your health”

No word yet as to the specifics of the Minimum Wage Commission’s report except the Commission has called for an increase of the minimum wage. Commission Chair - Cyrus Reynolds, says while there were people who believed increasing the minimum wage would somehow be disastrous for the business sector – the report findings says differently. Reynolds says the team of commissioners studied all relevant factors to provide a true representation of the existing social reality.
Labor Minister, Edmund Estaphan, says the Commission was implemented in 2009 to ensure proper social safety nets for low income earners. However he advocates balance – adding that a minimum wage should not be set so high that it has a negative impact on business. The aim he says is to help boost productivity by offering decent and fair wages for a fair days work.
Trade Union Federation President, Julian Monrose, was one of the members of the diverse minimum wage commission.
The President of the Employers Federation was also part of the body. Monrose says as a trade unionist he recognizes the importance of putting in place instruments that help to protect workers.
Already there has been a call for the commission’s report to be disseminated to the public for discussion and comment.
Members of the Commission say they hope the recommendations coming out of the report will be implemented by the cabinet of ministers.

The University of the West Indies Open Campus, Saint Lucia will be hosting two one-day seminars on “Metabolic Syndrome/Insulin Resistance and its Impact on St Lucian Society”.
The seminars which will be held at the UWI Open Campus, Morne Fortune on the 5th and 6th of March are a collaboration between the UWI Open Campus, The Caribbean Association for Plant Science Industry, Commerce and Use in Medicine (CAPSICUM) and The Optimum Health Clinic and Medical Centre (Antigua ) Ltd. The facilitator for both seminars will be Dr Jose Humphreys of the Optimum Health Clinic and Medical Centre based in Antigua. Dr Humphreys specializes in the use of herbs as an alternative means of dealing with the many diseases related to the syndrome and is the author of the seminal text ‘A Guide to Caribbean Herbs’.
What is Metabolic
Syndrome?
According to the American Heart Association, Metabolic Syndrome is characterized by the existence of a group of metabolic risk factors in one person. They include
• Abdominal obesity (excessive fat tissue in and around the abdomen)
• Atherogenic dyslipidemia (blood fat disorders — high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol and high LDL cholesterol — that foster plaque buildups in artery walls)
• Elevated blood pressure
• Insulin resistance or glucose intolerance (the body can’t properly use insulin or blood sugar)
• Prothrombotic state (e.g., high fibrinogen or plasminogen activator inhibitor–1 in the blood)
• Proinflammatory state (e.g., elevated C-reactive protein in the blood)
People with the metabolic syndrome are at increased risk of coronary heart disease and other diseases related to plaque buildups in artery walls (e.g., stroke and peripheral vascular disease) and type 2 diabetes so prevalent in St Lucia. Metabolic syndrome has become increasingly common in the United States where it is estimated that over 50 million Americans have it. Unfortunately, since our lifestyle in the developing world increasingly mimics that of first world countries, we too find ourselves at increased risk.
The dominant underlying risk factors for this syndrome appear to be abdominal obesity and insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is a generalized metabolic disorder, in which the body can’t use insulin efficiently. This is why the metabolic syndrome is also called the insulin resistance syndrome. Other conditions associated with the syndrome include physical inactivity, aging, hormonal imbalance and genetic predisposition.
