Since New Jersey’s Patricia Krentcil, aka “tan mom,” made headlines for allegedly taking her five-year-old daughter inside a tanning bed, health advocates have taken the opportunity to push further bans on indoor tanning for children and young adults. As a result, the indoor tanning industry is literally feeling the heat turn up.
On an average day, more than one million Americans use tanning salons, proof that plenty of consumers are still hitting the beds despite the risk factor for developing skin and eye cancers. Reports say that Krentcil, who gained notoriety for her too-tan leathery completion, goes tanning almost daily. Further studies show that skin cancer is on the rise among women – increasing 3.2 percent each year – with (UV) tanners 74 percent more likely to develop melanoma.

 I remember, as a teenager, being praised by an adult for having a strong handshake. “Your father must have taught you that,” he said to me.
“No,” I replied. “It was my mother.”
My mother taught me countless life lessons. While it would be impossible to enumerate them all, here are five:

 How many of you remember the story about the lumberjack that was challenged by a young man who had less than half of the experience of the seasoned lumberjack?
As the story goes, the one that cut down the most trees at the end of the day would be declared the winner. Well, the novice won after all the results were counted. The lumberjack approached the winner and asked him. How were you able to beat me? I even noticed that from time to time, you would pause for a short period and rest.”

Ray Hansell feels good about asking his employees to take part in community service efforts, but he doesn’t ask them for money.
“We don’t touch the employees’ pocket because we recognize, especially in today’s economy, that it’s tough,” says Hansell, chairman and co-founder of ToonUps. “They’re building homes, they’re getting married, they’re paying off college debt. The last thing they need is for somebody at the corporate level putting a hand in their pocket.”
ToonUps is a company that develops online games and apps that deliver positive messages to those who need it, such as children in the hospital facing an upcoming operation.
