1. Introduction

1.1 New Image Group Limited

New Image Group Limited (New Image or the Company) develops, manufactures

and distributes health and nutritional products. Its main products are based on bovine colostrum and include weight loss packages, colostrum drinks, infant formula, skin care products and dairy products. The Company distributes its products throughout Asia, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa through its

direct selling channel (the Direct Selling business) and through selected retail

outlets.

New Image is listed on the main board equity security market (NZSX) operated by

NZX Limited (NZX) with a market capitalisation of $63 million as at 11 February

2013 and unaudited total equity of $24 million as at 31 December 2012.

A profile of New Image is set out in section 3.

1.2 NIT Offer

New Image Trustee Limited (NIT) sent New Image on 17 January 2013 a notice of

intention to make a full takeover offer for all of the Company’s shares that it does not already hold or control.

NIT sent its Offer Document to New Image’s shareholders on 4 February 2013.

Number of Shares Sought

The NIT Offer is for all of the ordinary shares in New Image that NIT currently does not already hold or control.

Consideration

NIT is offering cash of $0.26 for each New Image ordinary share.

Conditions

The NIT Offer is conditional on NIT receiving sufficient acceptances such that NIT holds or controls 90.00% or more of the voting rights in New Image (the Minimum Acceptance Condition).

The NIT Offer is also subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions:

• no liquidator, receiver, receiver and manager, administrator, statutory manager or similar official is appointed.

• no event or circumstance occurs on or after the Notice Date (17 January 2013) which has a material adverse effect on New Image’s financial position, trading operations, assets or liabilities or prospects.

• no action, claim, litigation or proceedings is notified, threatened or commenced against New Image totalling in excess of $0.25 million.

• no temporary restraining order, injunction or other order is issued which makes the implementation of the NIT Offer void, unenforceable or illegal.

Any of the conditions, including the Minimum Acceptance Condition, may be waived by NIT at its discretion. However, the NIT Offer must always be conditional on NIT receiving sufficient acceptances such that NIT holds or controls more than 50% of the voting rights in New Image (as required under Rule 23(1) of the Takeovers Code (the Code)).

Change in Circumstances

The NIT Offer contains provisions that if there is a change in circumstances on or after 17 January 2013 that impacts on New Image’s shares and the offer is unconditional or becomes unconditional, then an adjustment will be made so as to ensure that the NIT Offer results in the same financial outcome for NIT as if the change in circumstance did not occur. The changes in circumstance relate to New Image :

• declaring, making or paying any dividend or any other distribution

• making any issue of shares, convertible securities or other securities of any

nature by way of bonus issue

• consolidating or subdividing its shares

• making any issue of equity securities to any person other than by way of bonus issue.

Offer Dates

The offer is open from 1 February 2013 and closes at 5pm on 2 April 2013 (unless extended by NIT in accordance with the provisions of the Code).

Psychotherapy

We provide psychotherapy services to help people with psychological problems to develop understanding about themselves and to make changes in their lives. For example, they may be suffering from anxiety, depression, grief reactions, personality disorders, or childhood problems.

Services

Individualised treatment programmes are designed for a broad spectrum of psychological problems, such as:

Mood disorders, such as depression
Anxiety disorders, such as panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorder, social phobia, specific phobias
Grief and loss
Trauma and abuse
Health anxieties
Eating disorders
Sleep disorders
Learning and behavioural problems
Stress & anger management difficulties
Interpersonal relationship difficulties
The variety of treatment modalities and interventions include: 

Art Therapy is a form of psychotherapy where art making is used to allow people to express their worries and feelings in a different way, at their own pace.  Individuals do not have to be good at art. There is no right or wrong way to make art in therapy. Art therapy allows the person to make new discoveries and enable the person to make positive changes. 

Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a form of psychotherapy where people learn to challenge their negative thinking and self-defeating behaviour. People feel more optimistic as they think in more positive and balanced ways and are better able to work and enjoy life.

Eye Movement Desensitization Re-processing (EMDR) is a form of psychotherapy suited for people who have experienced trauma. Eye movements are used to reactivate people’s natural healing processes.

Family and Systemic Psychotherapy is a form of psychotherapy where families, couples, or individuals with systemic issues are engaged. This is in order to help them discover different ways of relating to each other that they find more amicable.

Psychodynamic Psychotherapy deals with unconscious emotional conflicts that contribute to maladaptive patterns.

Schema Therapy is a form of psychotherapy where people’s schemas, or maladaptive themes or patterns in people’s lives, are addressed and healed. The goals of Schema Therapy are: to help patients to stop using maladaptive coping styles and to get in touch with their core feelings; to heal their early schemas; to learn how to flip out of self-defeating schema modes; and to have their emotional needs met in everyday life.

Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a brief form of psychotherapy that emphasises looking for solutions rather than focusing on problems.

Supportive Therapy is a form of therapy where people are supported and encouraged to cope with and solve their problems.


Psychotherapy Centre
IMH’s outpatient Psychotherapy Centre, located on Level 2 (above Clinic B, opposite the Woodbridge Museum) provides a quiet and conducive environment for patients who have been referred by IMH clinicians for therapy. The Centre is equipped with 16 therapy rooms, including an art therapy group room and a family therapy room. 

Opening Hours
Monday to Thursday: 8am–5.30pm

Case 2: 
My Challenges: I had problem/issues with my husband. It was going on for one year. I felt helpless, hopeless and stuck. I felt that the only way to change things was to get out of the marriage.
After a constellation session with Dr Saravanan. The change happened immediately. My husband became nicer and less stubborn, I did too. It changes the whole dynamics of our relationship. Our relationship was becoming better by the day. I was being more receptive to his changed behaviors. He could see the changes in my behavior and he decided to make an appointment for himself too. I was able to let go of the past and carry on with our marriage happily. I was not consistently happy; we took small steps that got better every day. His reaction towards me was not so angry anymore when I brought up the past. He is more patient and kind. He became more loving.
I rate the service at the clinic as: VERY GOOD

V-Taper Solution

module 1 .

V-Taper and Adonis

What is the V-taper and Adonis? The V-taper is ratio of waist to shoulders. John and Brad have researched this for over a decade and it started with "Why do people go to the gym?” Is it health, or is it optimal shape? Whatever your motivation the outcome is BOTH. When you achieve the ratio or the pleasing shape (not necessarily a body builder shape) you get the health benefits of optimal testosterone along with optimal levels of the other important hormones and health markers. You get the best of both worlds.

 

Getting started

Having trouble getting started on your fitness routine? Whether you are just getting started or getting back into your routine after a break, it can be hard to get moving. John and Brad give you some ideas for getting started in today’s podcast.

 

Back to basics

What are the most basic items that you must get a handle on if you want to change your body? In today’s podcast, we’ll discuss the basic principles that are essential for getting in shape. It’s simpler than you think!

 

A systems approach to health

You might be surprised how much your environment impacts your ability to make and maintain a lifestyle change. In this podcast we discuss how these factors affect your abilities, attitudes and success level with improving your fitness and health.

 

80/20 rules VS icing and cake

So, what are the real "rules" for fitness and fat loss? How do you sort out what is truly important to focus on vs. what is just "white noise"? In this podcast we discuss the primary drivers to focus on that will keep you on track and maximize your efficiency.

 

 

How muscles really grow

We review the latest research on muscle adaptations to strength training & determine how much of a muscle we can really activate while working out & what is necessary for maximum muscle growth.

 

Bulking conspiracy

John Barban & Brad Pilon talk about the conspiracy supporting "bulking". They expose the perpetrators, show you that almost everyone is working against you, & why you need to be aware of the truth.

 

Orthorexia and food cults

Orthorexia is defined as an unhealthy obsession with health food. Ironic to say the least. In this podcast we discuss how many of the diets that people follow take over other parts of their lives.

 

When does bodyweight matter

In this podcast, we discuss where the break points are for using body weight, body fat % and measurements as an accurate way to track progress. In the end, all that matters is the mirror.

 

 

Is the calorie really "broken"?

Do you ever wonder what it means when fitness gurus say that the calorie is “broken”? Brad and John break it down for us. They explain what calorie estimates are and how we can best use them to achieve our fitness and fat loss success. Just remember that the calorie is not really broken, but how we use it and measure it can be.

 

module 2.

 

Optimal VS practical

Nutrition and training routines may be optimal, are they ideal or even practical? This podcast will strive to analyze what is optimal and provide you with ideal advice to fit within your lifestyle.

Self-Improvement Through FasterEFT Destroys Toxic Beliefs

What makes you who you are? Whether you’re sick, poor, stressed or challenged – it is the creation of your mind. FasterEFT is a system devoted to changing your toxic beliefs, especially the ones you hold true about yourself, and through FasterEFT that can you realize your full potential.

Everyone holds a unique understanding about how the world works, no exceptions. You may gravitate towards a pool of like-minded people that you claim as your tribe, but in reality, everyone within that tribe still holds unique belief systems within their own minds.

This is the nature of the human mind, it cannot be duplicated or replicated.



One thing that is obvious about the nature of the human mind is that it is capable of change. It can heal at an incredible rate and it can transform any emotion to yield self-improvement.

FasterEFT is the thinking system that aims to deliver the best of healing and self-improvement to everyone. It is the only mind-body healing system that has a complete understanding on manipulating the resources we hold within our minds.

The Mind – Powerhouse of All Transformations

The mind holds all the resources you need for self-improvement. The mind is so powerful that it can create your best life or work against you.

Our mental programming that creates our mindsets and belief systems create that which we call “life.” In other words, whether you have a good life or a bad life, it is dependent on how your mind understands the world.

The mind is a vessel where all good things begin to flourish before they manifest into the physical world. It is indeed true, but the law of attraction will not work unless that powerhouse is free from doubt and negative mental patterns.

The law of attraction is not biased; it never fails to be in alignment to what the mind dictates, whether that is good or bad.

So the question is, is it possible for the mind to be free of negativity? The simple answer is yes, but never in its entirety.

You see, negativity is relative to the person experiencing it, and so is positivity. What one person considers happy and blissful might be horrific to the next. That is why it is important for us to direct our emotional compass towards those things that we want to bring into our lives.

Our memories are the imprints of time that make us who we are. Our memories are responsible for how we formulate thoughts, reactions and perceptions about any given subject. In other words, our memories hold within them emotions of varying intensities that help our consciousness formulate a reaction about any given subject.

The greater the intensity of the emotions within an imprint or a memory, the more active it becomes as the filter we use to view reality.

As such, in cases of people suffering from Traumatic Stress, the episodes they experience are a creation of the mind because of the intense emotions carried within the memory. It then holds the power to control the body and produce an emergency reaction, even when there is no actual danger present.

Did you know we do this with everything? The subtleties of other life subjects may overshadow the fact that we react based on memories we hold about the subject. Such as for phobias, allergies and other life problems.

Self-improvement is about knowing the ins and outs of one’s mind. Let’s take money issues, for example. Unless you discover within your mind why you feel unable and poor, you will never be able to realize wealth.

How so? Because your perception about wealth will always be stuck on the same spot where your problem stands. Because of this, the mind will never use other resources that can be the source of wealth.

In other words, money is a mindset or having luck is a mindset, and unless this mindset is changed, you will always produce the same problems over and over again.

Destroying Toxic Beliefs – FasterEFT Memory Reimprinting

All the toxic belief systems that you hold true within your mind are the cause of your problems. Your belief in illnesses, pains and disorders are the very source of the physical manifestations of your illness.

Your beliefs about poverty, a bad economy or the inability to have marketable skills, is the source of your financial problems.

It is true that you will find ways to survive. That is what humans are good at, survival. What is not true that you need to suffer in order to survive. FasterEFT is a mind-body healing system that promotes wellness and health by memory reimprinting or by collapsing the toxic belief systems being used by the mind as a resource to view life.

It is a highly effective and actionable process that enables a person to excel in life and sustain their own happiness.

It is difficult for some people to maintain happiness because of the memories of past experiences that they cling onto. These are the very same memories from where negative reactions about life stem.

Meaning if you can reimprint these memories and be able to draw good or positive emotions from them, you change the game about how the world works for you.

Taking Action is the Key to Memory Reimprinting

Without acting on your problems, they will continue to reside in your mind and expand. Left unchecked, these negative memories will make you feel even more limited as time passes by.

Memory reimprinting is an actionable process, it is highly effective because it can help you understand “trances” you inhibit when you react to life. The FasterEFT Tapping Technique is a powerful way to reduce stress and negative responses, a process for anyone experiencing bad episodes in life which will directly affect their quality of living.

However, in order to really create positive life transformations, you need to dig deeper into the root cause of the problems or the symptoms of illnesses, and only FasterEFT can help you get there with noticeable changes.

Elevate Spiritual Well-Being Through Eutaptics

Eutaptics practice can elevate your spiritual well-being, whether you have just begun your spiritual journey or have an ongoing pact to improve your spiritual health. Spirituality is among the most discussed topics in life and stress management systems today. Perhaps it is because of the rapid advancement in science and technology that makes us rely on convenience, or the undeniable, unstable disputes among religions, race, governments and nations that pull many to seek spiritual healing above all else.

Our spiritual wellness is at the center of our being. It is the key generator of our values in which our purpose in life is aligned. Each person’s spiritual journey is a unique experience.

Spirituality and religion are not synonymous terms. A religion is a community of people with shared values and rituals. Religion is socially and publicly organized for a group of people who relate to a particular set of rituals, beliefs and understanding of the divine.

Whereas, spirituality is unique to each individual. It is a path, a journey or an experience that leads to greater understanding of life, living and creation. In a sense, spirituality is more abstract than religion and is not confined under a given name of an organization or under singular understanding of doctrines.

A highly spiritual person can be very tolerant to all religions, beliefs and faith of other people. Although religion is normally viewed as the vessel through which spirituality is found, it is not always the case.

Eutaptics is not a religion and will never be. It is a training system with a great focus on the mind to help improve a person’s psychological flexibility. Eutaptics practice can lead to improved spiritual health because the system itself destroys toxic belief systems that have accumulated since our very first day on this planet.

It is not always easy to recognize the existence of belief systems that block our paths to spiritual growth. Eutaptics practice helps weaken the structure of any thought that blocks your spiritual growth. It takes you to the present moment with a raised awareness about how and why your body responds to any particular thought or sensation. It is one process that can improve mindfulness and help you reap its benefits.

Religious Views and Toxic Beliefs

One thing that can lead to a heated argument among friends, neighbors or even nations is our varying and conflicting religious views. Each religion claims to hold the truth and each person who has sworn devotion to any religion will cling to it as the ultimate truth through which all the mysteries of creation are explained.

It is not to say that religion is a toxic belief. Religion can unite communities, spread peace and kindness and most of all, teach the meaning of love. But when religion is mixed with politics or used to cause division among the human race, it then becomes toxic and each is individually affected.

Everyone is affected by religious beliefs more than they would like to admit or recognize. There is an obvious link between our personal values and the religion that we believe in. When extreme religious practices begin to affect other aspects of our life to the point that they start to produce big problems, then it is time to call it toxic. There are other alternatives to resolving conflict, apart from radically quitting a certain religion or starting a revolution against it. Simply draw more strength from the spiritual aspect of your religion and transform it to help you grow.

Eutaptics practice can help you pinpoint your toxic beliefs relating to your religion or views on spirituality. It is a system open to all races, religions or genders – it is not aimed to introduce new beliefs about divinity and holy doctrines. Eutaptics practice can improve your tolerance about the diversity of this world in terms of faith.

Achieving Psychological Flexibility is the Goal of Faster EFT

Robert G. Smith’s Faster EFT is committed to helping people develop coping skills that can hack through their problems to provide resolution to conflict.

The idea of creating psychological flexibility among people’s lives is what fuels the FasterEFT belief system.

All of the skills being shared and taught within the courses, blog posts and articles aim to show people how to achieve psychological flexibility and build sustainable happiness within their individual lives.

Why is FasterEFT Focused on Providing Psychological Flexibility?

Addressing a traumatic event, liberating people from pain and showing ways to let go of the past is undeniably important. But FasterEFT is more than just a mind-healing process. If incorporated within your daily activities and made a part of your way of life, a person can become empowered and equipped with knowledge to get past any of life’s hurdles, no matter how small or big they may be.

A shocking amount of evidence now advocates that becoming more psychologically flexible grants people the ability to be unstuck, outsmart stress, improve physical wellbeing, build meaningful lives and sustain happiness outside the hedonic treadmill.

What Exactly is Psychological Flexibility?

According to Biglan, Hayes, & Pistorello – 2008, “Psychological flexibility is the ability to contact the present moment more fully as a conscious human being and to change, or persist in, behavior when doing so serves valued ends.”

The definition mentioned above is exactly what every Faster EFT process is all about. We will now break down the definition and their correlation to Robert G. Smith’s work in FasterEFT to show you that it is the only mind-body healing process that, superseding other forms of therapies, can complement modern procedures to promote faster healing of the mind, body and spirit.

The following sections are the explanation of the broken-down definition of psychological flexibility:

Contacting the present moment more fully

“Contacting the present moment more fully,” suggests to truly be aware of the present moment without influence from negative or difficult thoughts and emotions. We define, interpret and live each present moment based on the records of memories stored within our subconscious mind.
Our unconscious is a powerful storehouse of information wherein the circuit of our current mental patterns are plugged in.

Acceptance of the previously mentioned statement about how the mind works plays a critical role in activating mental healing. Research shows that “willing” the mind to get rid of a negative memory of an experience only increases its stronghold on you. The reason for this lies in the fact on how the mind encodes experiences – both perceived and actual.

If, for example, a person who went through a very traumatic experience keeps on replaying the memories of the trauma, a new version of it is encoded within the cortex, creating multiple copies and building new links. This creates the structure of various versions of the imprints.

The undeniable reason why Faster EFT memory reimprinting works best in cases of trauma and the broad spectrum of Traumatic Stress Responses is because it has a way to hack through the various imprints created by the mind and find the imprint with highest frequency or the primary imprint.

The reason we call it primary is not to suggest that it is the initial record of a memory, but because it is the most emotionally charged imprint within the cortex. In other words, it is the most powerful network that fuels dominant mental and emotional patterns.

To promote psychological flexibility in cases of high trauma means retraining the limbic system to hold thoughts and emotions lightly, to rewrite a new version of the memory so representations of incoming experiences will be seen as an ongoing process without having to draw a reference from a difficult past.

Change, or persist in, behavior when doing so serves valued ends

Robert has always mentioned that we are all functioning in perfect alignment to what we hold as true within our unconscious. This is very critical to understanding this next half of the definition of psychological flexibility.

In other words, for us to be able to move towards our values we need to accept difficult situations, thoughts and emotions that we may not want to. To make better sense of the statement, let us put it this way, that whenever we move towards our values – or towards anything that is truly personally meaningful to us – we experience difficult thoughts and negative emotions are triggered.

The unconscious mind does not operate the way we wish it would. Oftentimes, it draws negative memories and use it as a filter when we begin to view the current moment or perceive a successful yet challenging future.

This programming of the unconscious mind is what kept us safe over the years, it draws records of memories used as filters whether a situation is safe, dangerous or neutral.

Unfortunately, it is also the same mental function that keeps us from moving forward and take risks in our careers, relationships and many other aspects of life. In short, the very thing that makes us feel “stuck.”

If you want to be successful in a new relationship, you most certainly need to accept that there will be difficult thoughts and emotions that are going to be part of your romantic journey. But if you fear getting hurt, then you don’t pursue a relationship.

However, since a relationship is of value to you, meaning you really want it, not having it is also something you most likely fear. In this case, you stand in between fears that your mind created but are not really present.
