Blunt Move - Happiness Over Money.
THE small Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan is known internationally for two things: high visa fees, which reduce the influx of tourists, and its policy of promoting gross national happiness instead of economic growth. The two are related: more tourists might boost the economy, but they would damage Bhutan's environment and culture, and so reduce happiness in the long run.
When I first heard of Bhutan's goal of maximising its people's happiness, I wondered if it really meant anything in practice, or was just another political slogan. Last month, when I was in the capital, Thimphu, to speak at a conference on Economic Development and Happiness, organised by Prime Minister Jigme Y Thinley and co-hosted by Jeffrey Sachs, Director of The Earth Institute at Columbia University and Special Adviser to United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, I learned that it is much more than a slogan.
Promoting happiness
I had expected Thinley to open the conference with a formal welcome, and then return to his office. Instead, his address was a thoughtful review of the key issues involved in promoting happiness as a national policy.
Since ancient times, happiness has been universally seen as a good. Problems arise when we try to agree on a definition of happiness, and to measure it.
One important question is whether we see happiness as the surplus of pleasure over pain experienced over a lifetime, or as the degree to which we are satisfied with our lives. The former approach tries to add up the number of positive moments that people have, and then to subtract the negative ones. If the result is substantially positive, we regard the persons life as happy; if negative, as unhappy. So, to measure happiness defined in that way, one would have to sample moments of peoples existence randomly, and try to find out whether they are experiencing positive or negative mental states.
Fundamental questions
A second approach asks people: "How satisfied are you with the way your life has gone so far?" If they say they are satisfied, or very satisfied, they are happy, rather than unhappy. But the question of which of these ways of understanding happiness best captures what we should promote raises fundamental questions of value.
On surveys that use the first approach, countries like Nigeria, Mexico, Brazil, and Puerto Rico do well, which suggests that the answer may have more to do with the national culture than with objective indicators like health, education, and standard of living. When the second approach is taken, it tends to be the richer countries, like Denmark and Switzerland, that come out on top. But it is not clear whether people's answers to survey questions in different languages and in different cultures really mean the same thing.
We may agree that our goal ought to be promoting happiness, rather than income or gross domestic product, but, if we have no objective measure of happiness, does this make sense? John Maynard Keynes famously said: "I would rather be vaguely right than precisely wrong." He pointed out that when ideas first come into the world, they are likely to be woolly, and in need of more work to define them sharply. That may be the case with the idea of happiness as the goal of national policy.
Can we learn how to measure happiness? The Center for Bhutan Studies, set up by the Bhutanese government 12 years ago, is currently processing the results of interviews with more than 8,000 Bhutanese. The interviews recorded both subjective factors, such as how satisfied respondents are with their lives, and objective factors, like standard of living, health, and education, as well as participation in culture, community vitality, ecological health, and the balance between work and other activities. It remains to be seen whether such diverse factors correlate well with each other. Bhutan has a Gross National Happiness Commission, chaired by the prime minister, which screens all new policy proposals put forward by government ministries. If a policy is found to be contrary to the goal of promoting gross national happiness, it is sent back to the ministry for reconsideration. Without the Commissions approval, it cannot go ahead.
Ban on sale of tobacco
One controversial law that did go ahead recently and that indicates how willing the government is to take tough measures that it believes will maximise overall happiness is a ban on the sale of tobacco. Bhutanese may bring into the country small quantities of cigarettes or tobacco from India for their own consumption, but not for resale and they must carry the import-tax receipt with them any time they smoke in public.
Last July, the UN General Assembly passed, without dissent, a Bhutanese-initiated resolution recognising the pursuit of happiness as a fundamental human goal and noting that this goal is not reflected in GDP. The resolution invited member states to develop additional measures that better capture the goal of happiness. The General Assembly also welcomed an offer from Bhutan to convene a panel discussion on the theme of happiness and well-being during its 66th session, which opens this month. These discussions are part of a growing international movement to re-orient government policies towards well-being and happiness. We should wish the effort well, and hope that ultimately the goal becomes global, rather than merely national, happiness.Project Syndicate

Eat More Fish?
PEOPLE who eat fish a few times each week are slightly less likely to suffer a stroke than those who only eat a little or none at all.
That's the conclusion of an analysis of 15 studies, each of which asked people how frequently they ate fish, then followed them for between four and 30 years to see who suffered a stroke. "I think overall, fish does provide a beneficial package of nutrients, in particular the omega-3s, that could explain this lower risk," said Dr Dariush Mozaffarian, a Harvard School of Public Health epidemiologist whose research was included in the analysis.
"A lot of the evidence comes together suggesting that about two to three servings per week is enough to get the benefit."
Close to 800,000 people in the US have a stroke each year, and 136,000 die from it.
Smoking, drinking, being overweight and having high blood pressure and cholesterol are all linked to a higher risk of stroke.
Dr Susanna Larsson and Dr Nicola Orsini of the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden wrote in the journal Stroke that omega-3 fatty acids in fish might lower stroke risk through their positive effects on blood pressure and cholesterol.
Vitamin D, selenium and certain types of proteins in fish may also have stroke-related benefits, Mozaffarian added.
Data for the analysis came from close to 400,000 people age 30 to 103. The studies were done in the US, Europe, Japan and China.
Over anywhere from a few years to a few decades, about 9,400 people had a stroke.
Eating three extra servings of fish each week was linked to a six-per cent drop in stroke risk, which translates to one fewer stroke among a hundred people eating extra fish over a lifetime.
And the people in each study who ate the most fish were 12 per cent less likely to have a stroke that those that ate the least.
Mozaffarian's own report separated the effects of different kinds of fish and found that people who ate more fried fish and fish sandwiches didn't get any stroke benefit, not surprisingly.
But the research can't prove that adding more non-fried fish to your diet will keep you from having a stroke.
People who eat a lot of fish, Mozaffarian told Reuters Health, "could have healthier diets in other ways, people could exercise more, people could have better education that could lead them to see their doctors more".
All of those things might decrease their risk of stroke.
Still, he added, most studies have tried to take those other health and nutrition factors into account to isolate the effects of fish as much as possible and they suggest a cause-and-effect relationship.
It's likely, Mozaffarian said, that people who start out eating no fish or very little probably have the most to gain by putting it on their plate more often. "You get a lot of bang for your buck when you go from low intake to moderate, a few servings per week," he said.
After that, the benefit from each extra serving probably goes down. Fatty fish such as salmon and herring are especially high in omega-3s. The American Heart Association recommends at least two servings of fatty fish in particular each week.

No Restaurant Gets Grade 'A'
Even wonder what is inside the restaurant kitchen? well.. sometimes I feel lucky that I have a businessman in fisheries as a father and when the supply of fish and prawn is good it means that my father would be busy delivering it to the local restaurants. On the down side, I have to follow him where ever he goes to however on the good side, I have a sneak peek at their kitchens. Most of the restaurant that my father delivered to are Chinese restaurants.
Anyway, an assessment was conducted by the District Office and out of 33 restaurant in Brunei-Muara district NONE got grade 'A'. The highest is a Grade 'B' given to Z'YAN Restaurant.
Here is the link. http://www.bt.com.bn/news-national/2011/09/13/no-restaurant-gets-grade
