MedHalt

Image
More than 11 million patients cross the borders of their home country every year, to travel to places where treatment is available at superior quality and lower prices. This popular trend to save treatment costs, called medical tourism, is made a reality for patients by medical tourism facilitators like MedHalt. We caught up with Udit Verma, the founder of MedHalt , to know more about the company that has slowly made its presence felt in the medical tourism industry and is on its way to conquer the south-Asian market.  How do you help your patients to simplify their medical travel if they are burdened by medical debt?

Öznur Ata was born in the Netherlands and lives in one of the biggests ports of the world: Rotterdam. She is a creative person expressed in her crocheting work  and style photos . We have conducted an interview with her. Which are the three most creative items you had made out of your crocheting skills? The poncho model "army", the flower scarfs and the Russian female hat are i think the most creative as i made them with just a vision on what i think looks hot on a woman but still has something powerful in it's design. They weren't custom products for customers but just something i wanted to make. Some products are wearable in more ways which needs more creativity to make it so. Where do you draw inspirations from for your designs? Sometimes the interaction with the customers give me new ideas. I get a lot of inspiration by mixing different kind of fabric and things like beads, spike or studs, as I do also like to pimp plain clothes. I try to design a...

Daniel Wicharz on success of credit card payments

Image
Daniel Wicharz is the vice president of an international aquiring bank. We talked with him about about the success of credit card payments in Europe and internationally at the Point of Sales and E-Commerce. What do you think contributes to the success of credit card payments in Europe and Internationally at Point of Sales and E-Commerce? People want to pay hassle free. They do not intend to send a wire transfer to a seller upfront for good reasons. 1st it is simply too much hassle and 2nd it is also risky. Especially when you pay a seller abroad who you do not know well, then obviously it is extremely dangerous sending money in the first place. With cards you always have the option of a chargeback and keep the seller liable for delivery. How is Interchange fees important and necessary? Interchanges are necessary to finance the card issuing banks. However the interchanges used to be very high in the past. This changed in December 2015 when due to the PSD2 the interch...

Frenzy

Kamran Fulleylove is currently based in Vancouver although he is from Australia. he currently has a feature film in post production titled Frenzy that features John Jarrat who is a famous Australian actor from Wolf Creek. We have conducted an interview with Kamran. How different is it to work on U.S. TV as opposed to Australian TV? It’s been a really interesting experience working in both Australia and American television. Most notably the differences in culture. The characters in these different countries have extremely different views. Australia has been established on a very social system and is a essentially a small island so there is always this sense of financial and government safety where as I feel America really is the "home of the brave". The chances you take are bigger as there is much more to lose. Understanding these mentalities and how the livelihoods of the characters differ from place to place has been the greatest challenge and also the most rewardin...

What is your secret to overcome the great discomfort in uncertainty? A good question, when I first became uncertain about achieving the goals I desired in life, I was told one line from a contact in the industry " If you feel negative, you will never notice or fulfil oppourtunities, if you create a dream, you'll build a vision " It took me a while to understand this but in the end I realised to think positive and not expect the future to just be given to me, but to make a goal on what I wanted my future to be and what I want to do in later life and work towards this. Yes, you will always experience discomfort and uncertainty in your life and the best way I feel personally to prepare for this is to expect both positives and negatives.

Image
Matt Simpson is a fitness and nutrition author living in Australia. He just released a new book called The Ectomorph Diet Guide To Basic Bodybuilding Nutrition . We have conducted an interview with him. How long did you take to write this book: The Ectomorph Diet Guide to Basic Bodybuilding Nutrition? Nutrition has been a lifelong battle for me because I am naturally a ‘hardgainer’ with an ectomorph body type. I was born skinny with very little musculature and despite weight training from an early age I seriously struggled to put on muscle or weight. So I have been thinking about the concepts in this book for years, slowly building my expertise in nutrition and constructing the paragraphs in my head. So much so, that when I sat down to write it, the words came out of me very easily and the book was written in roughly 6 weeks. The really tough part was the fact that I designed the book too and as you’ll have seen from reading it is very design heavy, with a lot of emphasi...

Key Identity Access (TM)

Image
Ryan David Dwyer created Key Identity Access (TM) to remove all barriers to immediate music learning. We have conducted an interview with him. What are the reasons that your piano lesson for kids are more superior? Our program recognizes every human being as both naturally musical and naturally creative. Since all note reading based teaching systems rely on regurgitation learning, then only “some” children who are willing to be compliant and obedient to the technical training will be accepted to intermediate and advanced lessons. Even some teachers turn down beginner students who don’t display a sense of rhythm. However, we assert that everyone has natural rhythm, demonstrated by walking in perfect beat and brushing teeth in perfect beat. As we introduce students to basic musical concepts we encourage them to create their own music with the ideas we have provided for them. If they mess up and don’t do our lessons perfectly it is not a big deal. What is most important is th...
