After years of research and development a German foot insole manufacturer hit upon the idea of combining their advanced footwear technology with the ancient healing art of Reflexology. Due to their huge success in Germany I decided to launch these remarkable insoles in Australia! Instant soothing relief for feet and legs Over the years I have tried hundreds of insoles but nothing compares to this exciting breakthrough. What makes these insoles so different is their triple-layer design and the 10 strategically placed cushioned acupressure points that correspond with different parts of the body. Relief while you walk! When I first slipped the Bio Reflex Insole into my shoes I was amazed at the instant soothing relief. The added beauty of these insoles is that they use your own body weight to massage and trigger acupressure points on the soles of your feet while you walk! With every step you take the cushioned points will massage your feet giving comfort, support and relief. You’ll want to walk for hours! Say goodbye to foot pain! I was astounded at the difference they made. After suffering with painful feet for years, it was staggering to get such blessed relief. And now you too can get support and relief where it is needed most! Don’t just take my word for it… “I help out in the local charity shop, so I’m on my feet all day, so I was most interested to read about your Bio Reflex Insoles. I can’t tell you what a relief they provide, absolute bliss. I’ve even got a spring in my step. By far the best insole I’ve ever bought” Mrs Dobson, Aldershot “I’ve never tried reflexology so didn’t know what to expect, but these insoles are the business. I can walk for hours in comfort” Mr Curtis, Newport Reflexology benefits too! After just a few days these amazing insoles had bedded into my shoes cradling my feet providing a customized fit. And it wasn’t just my feet that felt relief, but my whole body. Reflexology has been used for thousands of years and is based on the principle that meridians that begin in the sole of the foot, run up through the body and into the brain. It’s no wonder that these insoles make such a difference. Suitable for all types of shoes. The Bio Reflex Insoles are so thin and lightweight you can wear them in any shoe, even open toe sandals.

NATIONAL GREYPOWER MAGAZINE » NOVEMBER 2015 27 Advertorial Selling coin and stamp collections Families and collectors sometimes find it a challenge to know how to dispose of coin, banknote, medal and stamp collections from serious collectors. Specialist coin and stamp auctions represent a great way to ensure you get a fair price. With the help of expert staff who can often handle complete collections, the worry of what to do with a large or small collection can be over. Mowbray Collectables held their 14th International Coin Auction and 24th International Stamp Auction on September4 and 5, 2015. Both raised almost $1,000,000 in sales for vendors from Auckland to Invercargill, and worldwide. Good room bidder turnouts were accompanied by bids received by post, internet and phone. This year, John Mowbray celebrated 50 years in the stamp business and is still going strong. The company is much more than one person, with eight expert stamp staff having hundreds of years’ of experience between them. Many work on a part-time basis allowing them to follow their own hobbies after earlier professional careers. David Galt manages Mowbray’s coin, medal and banknote auctions. He joined the company this year as a director after retiring from the Treasury. He is also A 1935 New Zealand proof coin set showing Hobson and Tamati Waka Nene shaking hands. president of the Royal Numismatic Society of New Zealand, which looks after the interests of coin collectors. David would be pleased to hear from people with coin collections, to discuss options for selling. He says, “Where we get value for vendors is in identifying valuable material, accurate descriptions, appropriate estimates and reserves to be agreed with sellers, marketing and presenting the material well for international buyers. We know our auctions get good results”. “It can take many months to prepare the auctions, so you should contact us early if you have coin collections to sell.” Coins of particular interest to collectors include those with silver and gold content, rare coins, British, world and ancient coins, while scarce older banknotes and medals have many collectors. “We can’t always sell low value pocket change and common coins sets, or stamps from recent decades at auction for clients, but we can suggest options Top stamps include the unissued three pence HMS “Vanguard” stamp, which Mowbrays have sold three times in the past for up to $24,000. Just seven survived the furnace after the cancellation of the 1949 Royal Tour when the king became ill. New skin cancer detection service just in time for the sun Waikato GP Dr Sakkie Fourie is offering a new skin scanning service to Waikato patients that cuts in half the time and cost of similar services currently available to them. Dr Fourie works as a general practitioner as part of the wider general practice team at Avalon Medical Centre in Hamilton, from which he also runs the skin scanning clinic. Dr Fourie trained in the Austrian skin scanning system, which is similar to Mole Mapping, in Brisbane. He said the service is common practice in Europe and Australia; however there were very few doctors offering this type of skin scanning in New Zealand. “Skin scanning is a more personalised and less costly service than what’s currently offered,” said Dr Fourie, who has been a GP for 28 years. “Rather than a nurse taking photos of every single mole on a patient’s body and then sending the images onto me to read, I take photos of only the moles which are of concern, and can talk the patient through the process and explain which moles I think need further analysis and why. A more ‘hands-on approach ‘is used.” He uses moles with dots on them as an example. “If a mole has six dots, I will take a photo of it and compare it with the same image one year later, and if it has 10 dots, it needs to be removed. “This means the patient is able to get some peace of mind and reassurance then and there and walk away from the appointment knowing what the plan is, and having asked questions along the way.” Dr Fourie is able to remove superficial cancers in his clinic, while invasive cancers are referred to a plastic surgeon for removal. This can sometimes happen after a consultation if time permits or by appointment at a later date. Dr Fourie is originally from South Africa, but has been in New Zealand for 18 years. He has worked predominantly in Hamilton, but spent two years at a skin cancer clinic in Brisbane and then out of a practice in Te Awamutu for five years, before returning to Hamilton last year. He is a New Zealand vocationally trained GP with a certificate in Dermoscopy and Skin Cancer Surgery in Primary Care. Skin scanning appointments take 30 minutes and cost $150.

Councils can do more to develop regions of opportunity While New Zealand cities and towns are not global mega cities, there’s opportunity for regional New Zealand to become ‘regions of opportunity’, according to PwC’s New Zealand’s regions of opportunity publication, launched at the recent Society of Local Government Managers’ conference in Palmerston North. PwC local government director David Walker says size and scale are not the only determinants of success for a city and successful cities are strong across a range of indicators - there’s no single factor that drives success more than others. “A recent report from the New Zealand Initiative discusses the idea of using special regional economic zones in regions to boost foreign investment and assist new enterprises to start up. This cannot happen without the directive from central Government. “Developing into regions of opportunity will take a collaborative effort by councils, central Government and businesses,” he says The publication offers three key steps of advice for councils hoping to advance the prosperity of their region, which include: Be ready – know what you offer. The best place to start is the status quo. Know what your strengths and weaknesses are, and develop policies to improve from there. Have a people strategy to promote liveability and attract talent. Consider how to attract and retain skilled workers. Also consider how to grow talent from within the region, and ensure that workers are well placed to respond and grow the region together. Recognise that solutions may be collaborative. Collaboration can be in many different forms and with different entities. Collaborative approaches should ensure that each entity is invested in achieving shared outcomes. ABOUT PWC At PwC, our purpose is to build trust in society and solve important problems.
