This case illustrates how a processed food firm can strategize its business to increase its product sales in a competitive domestic market. Musalmah Food Industries Sdn Bhd (MFI), the manufacturer of Musalmah, a premium quality ready-to-eat sauce, had been facing fierce competition from other manufacturers of domestic and imported products in Malaysia. The intense competition led to a lower domestic sales growth. Musalmah had been retailed mostly at the supermarkets, hypermarkets and big grocery shops with the target to serve mainly the ethnic Malay consumers who traveled overseas and the outdoor types for camping or fishing activities. The sales performance for the past five years (2003 to 2008) showed a continuous increase but on a diminishing growth. Datuk Ibrahim Mohammad, the company's CEO directed his management team to prepare a business proposal to understand how they could increase their domestic sales based on the year 2008 performance. He wanted the business proposal to be ready by 30 April as he had to present it to the company's shareholders during the Musalmah Holding Berhad annual general meeting which had been scheduled for 25 May 2009.

Syed Nawab Haider Naqvi, Dr Ghaffar Chaudhry, Distinguished Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is my privilege to inaugurate the Fifth Annual General Meeting of the Pakistan Society of Development Economists. During the past six years of its existence the Society, which I founded in 1982, has become an institution devoted to the pursuit of scientific virtuosity and academic rectitude. It has provided a powerful medium through which a serious discussion of economic and demographic issues related to Pakistan's economy has become possible. I am happy to know that by this time over one hundred papers, written by scholars from all over the world, have been presented in this forum. In addition, the Inaugural Address, the Presidential Address, the Quaid-i-Azam Lectures, and the Guest Lectures, presented in this forum each year, provide a synoptic review of the fields of development economics and demography, and of issues relating to the economics of education, health and the role of women in the development process. This massive intellectual output should strengthen the process of knowledge creation by matching the theories of economic development with the 'reality' in the developing countries. The resulting literature, with a focus on Pakistan, also provides rich source material and guidelines for policy formulation in the field of socio-economic development. I must add, however, that while due to the contributions of the Society we know much more about the nature of the development problem, our knowledge of how to solve it has probably not expanded as much.

The world is being altered by human action more rapidly now than natural forces changed it during any short period in the past. There are predictions of massive ecological changes and extinctions of species on a unprecedented scale. The author examines what is actually happening, what the consequences are likely to be, and what corrective action can be taken. He emphasizes that, as with all exercises in crystal gazing, this cannot be an error-free analysis. Despite the vast scale of current scientific activity, our knowledge of the processes affecting the world environment and our monitoring of changes are far from adequate. Too many statements—including widely quoted estimates of extinctions—are based on extrapolation from limited data. This is a speculative paper intended as a spur to further analysis rather than as a definitive review. It is based on an address to the Annual General Meeting of the Fauna and Flora Preservation Society on 10 September 1986.*

At the Annual General Meeting of the Students' Society in 1961, a motion was passed that articles of a less serious nature than those normally published in the past be accepted by the Editors ofJ.S.S.It is in the spirit of this motion that this article is offered. It does not pretend to advance actuarial science in any way, and its only purpose is to introduce members of the profession to a technique which is interesting in that it is different from our normal techniques and to show that it has possibilities in the actuarial field by demonstrating its applications in other fields.This is not the first time that the subject has been written about in an actuarial journal. Edmund C. Berkeley (1937) wrote a paper for the American Institute of Actuaries going into the subject in some detail, and it is from this paper that I have taken my examples of applications to life office practice.

Beginning in the fall of 2001, as decided at the 1999 Annual General Meeting of the Canadian Thoracic Society (CTS), the Society's annual and scientific meeting will take place jointly with the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP). In the past, this annual event was held in conjunction with the Royal College of Physicians' meeting. Unfortunately, attendance at the Royal College meetings was quite low, and the event did not seem to fulfil the needs and interests of the Canadian respiratory community. Therefore, a three-year trial agreement was reached for a joint annual meeting with the ACCP. This joint meeting would offer, among many incentives, the opportunity for Canadian physicians and fellows to attend an international meeting at which Canadian initiatives would have a lot of visibility and educational activities would be available.
