Okay, so the holidays are on your mind and Mumbai is the destination that you wish to explore this season. Thumbs up, if that is what you are looking for, if luxury hotels are where you wish to lodge then this is simply the best time for Golf vacations in India.

Luxury hotels in India have used the erstwhile royal properties most potently and have converted several of them into hotels that never cease to amaze tourists. Below are the top 3 Golf clubs that you cannot afford to miss while on Golf holidays in India:

1. Bombay Presidency Golf Club (BPGC) - Mumbai
Stay & play at the prestigious and exclusive golf club in Mumbai. The golf course at the BPGC is one of the most outstanding ones you play while on Golf vacation in Mumbai. It is one of the most exclusive members club in India with limited access to visitors.

This is one of the golf courses from the British Period that dates back to 1927 and owing to a tight layout as a result of significant trees and boundaries, high maintenance standards, water bodies and bunker placement leaving little room for error, a recent redesign, ever changing sea-breeze conditions, and real greens - it is seriously enjoyable.

The club is centrally located in Mumbai, India and has rooms with magnificent views of the golf course, and many leisure facilities like a restaurant, bar, swimming pool, and so on. It is the best destination for Golf holiday Mumbai.

2. Willingdon Sports Club (WSC) - Mumbai
A prestigious leisure and sports club setup by the British colony, WSC features an 18 holes, par 65 golf course with various crisscrossing holes in a relatively smooth, but remarkably tight layout with mature trees and dense vegetation.


Given the most famous locality in the southern part of Mumbai, in which it is sited, one as a real golfer should feel fortunate that a golf course exists here. Again, just as for most golf courses located within the city limits in India, it is imperative to avoid the weekends as far as possible and plan a round here on weekdays.

Enjoy your Golf holiday in India, and make it more memorable by visiting this Golf course.

3. Aamby Valley Golf Resort - Lonavala
Aamby Valley City is an expansive Golf resort city; about 45 minutes travel from Lonavala, a hill station, about 2 hours from Mumbai. The resort laid out in a picturesque setting and playing through valleys surrounded by huge mountains that have taken unique shapes caused by wind erosion is a great place to play golf.

Immaculately maintained, the course that hosts numerous reputed events, offers some interesting challenges, mainly, with its up and down nature, engaging with the contouring of the fairways and well thought out bunker placement.

Hotels in India have certainly come of age; gone are the days when hotels for Golf vacation in Mumbai had been merely a place to lodge and forget. Nowadays several chains have started packages that aim to provide a quality experience when a visitor has come for Golf vacations in India.

3 key factors to consider when installing all weather surfaces for sports, playground surfaces and industrial floor solutions (Michael McSweeney)

An all weather sports surface, a safe playground surface or the right industrial floor solution: luxury or necessity? Whether we are in a playground, at work in a clean room or restaurant environment, or training on a synthetic or artificial rugby pitch, we are somewhat exposed to a potential injury. Slips and trips account for up to 35% of major accidents in the food and drink industry alone (source; hse.gov.uk). It is for this reason that the right sports surface or industrial flooring system for work as much as leisure is a necessity. Here are three important factors to consider when purchasing a floor surface for industrial flooring solutions, wet rooms, and sports surfaces such as an all weather pitch or a tennis surface, presented by Marie McSweeney, Manager of Irish based Playground and Sports Surface Installation experts McSweeney Sports Surfaces and wet room and industrial floor suppliers Mcresinfloors.com

1. Foundation

What's under the surface? The surface our shoes stand upon, is the final layer of a whole system, and the finishing element of a process. Laying the right sports surface, playground surface or industrial flooring application often requires surface excavation, heavy duty clearing and preparation. Many layers may be put down in order to achieve the right balance of durability, shock absorption, grip and comfort. A typical multi layer surface that we walk on in our supermarket, warehouse or wet room environment involves just 2 - 4 mm of thickness, but let's take a quick look at what comprises this typical floor. A Viasol epoxy resin coated system as supplied by http://mcresinfloors.com will work upwards typically from concrete and include an adhesive primer. Then a levelling layer may be added before the top coat is applied. It is only then that the seal coat is applied and any finishing trim after that. So even in this simple example there are up to 5 layers beneath our feet on any typical sports surface, industrial floor or wet room floor surface.

2. Standards Adherence

If laying a tennis surface, a GAA all weather pitch or an artificial football playing surface, the governing body for that sport or discipline will have floor specifications and recommendations. Both the Lawn Tennis Association and the International Tennis Association have approved specifications for synthetic grass court and acrylic court surface installations. There are usually three forces at play for any sports surface installation: safety, durability and replication of natural surface dynamics. However, multi-sport playing surfaces can be achieved so that each sports requirements can be attained and exceeded. But this should be checked first. Usually GAA, Rugby and soccer can be catered for on the one artificial sports surface.


In a clean room or industrial floors environment it may in certain situations require attainment of recommended or approved specifications such as having a terrazzo floor rise a certain number of centimetres up the adjoining wall. In fact in many food preparation areas, the walls are now required to be of the same resin finish as the floor so maximum hygiene can be maintained.

3. Maintenance

So you've invested wisely in your new tennis surface, community playground surface and play equipment or industrial floor and it looks great. A wise decision is to include a recommended period of maintenance in your contract with your sports or industrial floor surface installation expert. They will have a supply of the correct resin and finishing materials for preventative maintenance and repair that will provide ongoing durability and aesthetic uniformity.

So in summary, any floor installation must properly account for safety, fitness for purpose, and durability. Each industry and sport's governing body will actually have an approved specification and this is in place for everyone's safety. Your professional sports surface and industrial flooring supplier will have knowledge of these requirements and be able to install accordingly and also achieve your aesthetic preferences which are of particular importance for playground surfaces, wet room floors and artificial sports surfaces.

Author Bio : Marie McSweeney set up McSweeney Sports Surfaces with her Husband Mike in 2003. Mike liked spending time at home with the kids, and saw for himself how the use of an artificial putting green was very similar to a real one, but was practical because the maintenance costs were so low by comparison. This inspired McSweeney Sports Surfaces to develop their indoor and outdoor sports and play surface product portfolio in Ireland and the UK. Since then the company has expanded its interest into industrial floors and wet room floors through its new sister company McResinfloors.com Contact us at 00 353 61 395786 or marie@mcsweeneysportssurfaces.ie

2 Tricks to Driving Off the Deck (nalini tra)

Here are three tips to help your drive:

Shoulders on Line, Feet Shut

Shoulders square to the target, feet slightly shut. Not one person really speaks about this shot very much, but if it comes up at all you've probably been told, "If you're going to hit the driver off the deck you've got to hit a big swing. It's the only way to get the ball up."

Actually, that's not correct at all. If you have enough club head quickness there's no need to just hit a big cut. Of course you can hit a big cut if that's what you want to do. You can still strike it well, and high, and far, but you lose control of the ball and you lose length.

For this shot, you're trying to hit the ball dead straight. Maybe a slight cut if you want to, but you can actually work the ball both ways when striking the driver off the deck. Take your regular driver arrangement, with your feet a little bit shut. Line up your shoulders and club face square to the target line.

Keeping your feet slightly shut helps shallow out your path on the way back and through. That's important, because if you have a very steep path you're just going to heave that club head right down in the earth.

You need to sweep the ball, but you still have to hit down on it with the driver when you're hitting it off the deck.

Club Head Inside Shallows the Plane


There are a couple little tricks to make this shot functional. First is that you can see in the first photo below that the club face is dead square to his feet line. That's intentional. That's planned. Rather than focusing on getting it square to the shoulder plane or the target line, you want the club head a little bit inside.

Why would you want that? Squaring the club face to the feet line helps you come through the ball more shallow. If you take the club back very steep you're going to have to redirect it on the way back down.

Club face square to feet line (left), left forearm rotation, club face square to feet line (left), left forearm rotation (center, right). You want it to go back and through on a very comparable plane, so you want to take it back very shallow.

As you go back you're actually getting more revolution in your left forearm from off the ball, to get the club coming back behind your hands. You want that spin in your hands because it helps shallow out the path on the way back. As you keep going to the top you're still rotating the left forearm, getting the arm plane a little shallower than usual.

As you get closer to the top, even though you've rotated your left forearm pretty aggressively taking the club back, the club face is still square to your forearm.

Media Alert; NXT-ID Chief Technology Officer Comments on Why You Need a Smart Wallet

SHELTON, Conn., Oct. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- NXT-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTD and NXTDW) ("NXT-ID" or the "Company"), a biometric authentication company focused on the growing mobile commerce market issues a recent blog entry from Mr. David Tunnell, Chief Technology Officer. Mr Tunnell examines the case for a smart wallet like Wocket™.

With the variety of new payment solutions being released, consumers may ask which method is best? Each new payment method has its own attributes that promise to make payments more convenient and secure. The good news is that none of these new payment methods are mutually exclusive to one another. Each has its own merit depending on where it can be used. For instance, digital wallets such as Google Wallet, Apple Pay or SoftCard (formally ISIS) may be preferable for locations that accept NFC (Near Field Communications), while another solution might be a better choice for locations that require a new barcode payment system such as being developed by major retailers like Wal-Mart, Target and Best Buy. Since none of the new payment methods can be used universally at all locations, the question remains – do you still need a wallet?

Most digital wallets have one thing in common: They all are dependent upon a cell phone. Each new payment method added to a cell phone can be advantageous, depending on when and where you wish to make a payment, but there are always instances where a cell-phone based payment method may not be practical.  A cell phone based payment solution may not be practical when:

Getting money from an ATM. Making a purchase at one of the millions of retail outlets that have not yet replaced their existing point of sale (POS) terminals with new upgraded ones. Making payments in areas with poor connectivity to the Internet. There is a risk that your cell phone battery might run out. Bluetooth does not pair, which may occur with certain methods that require Bluetooth connection with the phone. Then, there is the issue of cash. There are still instances you may need cash or other private information that you want to secure but can't afford to leave at home. These are just some examples of when you may wish you had your wallet with you. 

Smart wallets add electronics to wallets and purses so that you keep your private information secure, only accessible by you. Smart wallets also securely store all of your personal information, not just payment accounts. Furthermore, smart wallets are agnostic to the payment method, capable of supporting new payment methods as they emerge.

So, no matter whether you choose one or more new payment methods associated with your cell phone, there will always be a reason you wished you had a smart wallet. 

We encourage you to take a look at the features of the Wocket™ Smart Wallet and how it might benefit not only your shopping experience, but also all aspects of your wallet by giving you peace of mind with added security to all your personal information.

About NXT- ID Inc. - Mobile Security for a Mobile World: (NXTD) (NXTDW):

NXT-ID, Inc.'s innovative MobileBio® solution mitigates consumer risks associated with mobile computing, m-commerce and smart OS-enabled devices. The company is focused on the growing m-commerce market, launching its innovative MobileBio® suite of biometric solutions that secure consumers' mobile platforms led by the Wocket™; a next generation smart wallet designed to replace all the cards in your wallet, no smart phone required. The Wocket works anywhere credit cards are accepted and only works with your biometric stamp of approval. http://www.wocketwallet.com

Canadian Research Well Represented at HIV Prevention Conference

International conference in Cape Town attracts world-class research from Canada

WINNIPEG, Oct. 27, 2014 /CNW/ - A robust contingent of Canadian researchers will present their work this week at the HIV Research for Prevention (HIV R4P) Conference in Cape Town, South Africa.

The conference to be held from Oct. 28 to 31 is expected to attract up to 1,500 global leaders in HIV prevention, research, programs and policy. HIV R4P is the world's first and only scientific meeting dedicated exclusively to biomedical HIV prevention research.

Twenty nine oral and poster presentations will be made by Canadian researchers, 10 of whom received scholarships from the conference to present their work at HIV R4P. Presentation topics include: subject selection in HIV vaccine trials; the role of hormones in natural protection against HIV-1 in the Kenyan HIV-exposed seronegative cohort; and gay men involved in HIV — their concerns and hopes about pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).

"The sample of Canadian research at HIV R4P is something we can celebrate," says Dr. Allan Ronald, senior scientific advisor of the Canadian HIV Vaccine Initiative (CHVI) Research and Development Alliance Coordinating Office (ACO). "It is also a testament to the ongoing international collaborations Canadian investigators have with researchers in other countries."

Among the Canadian presenters is Dr. Ken Rosenthal, a large team grant principal investigator whose work on innate, adaptive, and mucosal immune responses in HIV-1 exposed uninfected infants in South Africa is funded through the CHVI.

"The HIV R4P Conference is essentially looking at research for prevention, and Canada really has an important role to play in bringing HIV under control," says Rosenthal, who is also the first Visiting Scientist at the Cape Town HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN) Immunology Laboratory. The state-of-the-art South African HIV vaccine research facility is supported by the Hutchinson Center Research Institute of South Africa (HCRISA), and funding for the laboratory's recent renovation was received from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation through the CHVI.

"The CHVI really is a driver for a number of reasons," Rosenthal says. "It builds linkages with investigators in developing countries which opens doors for Canadian research collaborations with colleagues in a global fashion."

Ronald adds that the CHVI has achieved some important outcomes since it started in 2007. "It has assisted with building regulatory capacity in low and middle-income countries, secured funding with the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) and the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD) for five collaborative scientific teams of Canadians with African colleagues, and facilitated with the Canadian private sector advances in the development of an HIV vaccine," he says.

The CHVI brings together five Government of Canada Departments/Agencies and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to advance progress on HIV vaccine research and development efforts. It also contributes to the prevention of mother-to-child transmission. The establishment of the ACO at the International Centre of Infectious Diseases in Winnipeg in 2011 has facilitated information exchange, collaboration and coordination across diverse national and international research efforts.

Noted Eye Doctor Reaches Vision Health Milestone: One Million VisiVite® Eye Vitamin Capsules Sold

HUNTINGTON, N.Y., Oct 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- VisiVite, one of the world's leading eye vitamin manufacturers, has sold its millionth capsule. This landmark number reveals just how far the company's mission to promote vision health has extended, reflecting thousands of loyal customers who have benefited from VisiVite's sight-supportive vitamin, mineral and antioxidant formulas.

 "I'm thrilled to reach the milestone of one million capsules sold," says Dr. Paul Krawitz, the university eye surgeon who founded VisiVite in 2001. "What makes me truly proud, however, is the number of people who have maintained their healthy vision because they've chosen VisiVite supplements." He credits the company's success to a combination of three key factors.

First and foremost, Krawitz acknowledges that VisiVite has always kept a keen focus, fittingly enough, on eye vitamins. He comments, "We were the first company to sell macular health supplements with vitamins and minerals combined with lutein and zeaxanthin, two science-backed carotenoids that are integral to vision wellness." Since optimal sight has consistently been VisiVite's objective, the company's trajectory has always been clear.

Secondly, VisiVite enjoys a high level of customer allegiance, in part because it avoids trendy ingredients. Krawitz and his team are instead committed to using only researched-supported compounds in VisiVite supplements – choosing to sidestep untested components that may not confer benefits to their customer base. He explains, "VisiVite features proven formulas that have been meticulously calibrated through years of rigorous scientific study. Flashy, flavor-of-the-month ingredients are not a part of VisiVite's outlook."

Thirdly, VisiVite's dedication to quality is unfailingly steady. The company uses only premium-quality raw materials, including FloraGLO® Lutein, a trusted brand of the marigold-sourced botanical nutrient, and OmniXan® Zeaxanthin, a prized natural compound derived from paprika. These and other highly bioavailable natural extracts are thoroughly analyzed and inspected before their inclusion in VisiVite supplements, which are delivered in easy-to-take and readily absorbed vegetarian capsules.  Krawitz says, "Pure ingredients and exceptional quality standards form the foundation of our superior results."

It's all a part of Dr. Krawitz's vision of healthy eyesight for everyone, and he remains intent on bringing these ideals into the future. "We're just getting started," Krawitz says. "With so many loyal customers, amazing word-of-mouth referrals and increasing awareness of how supplements can help preserve healthy vision for life, it's only a matter of time before we hit two million capsules sold... and beyond."

VisiVite products are sold at VisiVite.Com, Vision-Nutrition.Com, BestEyeVitamins.Com, Amazon.Com and participating nutritional supplement stores and doctor offices. Wholesale accounts with a business tax ID number are welcomed.

Biometrics Market in Europe 2014-2018: Key Vendors are 3M Cogent, Cognitec, NEC and Safran

DUBLIN, Oct. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Biometrics Market in Europe 2014-2018" report to their offering.

Biometrics is a technology which helps to assess individuals on the basis of their physical or behavioral patterns. It involves the verification and identification of both physiological traits such as fingerprints, face recognition, DNA, palm print, hand geometry, and iris recognition, and behavioral traits such as keystroke patterns and speech pattern/voice recognition.

The data derived are then used for security and authentication purposes, as it is difficult to forge biometric data. Biometrics is mainly used for law enforcement, banking authentication, and providing physical access. It helps provide an extra layer of security for data access and individual identification.

The analysts forecast the Biometrics market in Europe will grow at a CAGR of 17.25 percent during the period 2013-2018.

This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the Biometrics market in Europe for the period 2013-2018. To calculate the market size, the report considers revenue generated from the sales of biometrics solutions. It also presents the vendor landscape and a corresponding detailed analysis of the top four vendors in the market.

In addition, the report discusses the major drivers that influence the growth of the Biometrics market in Europe. It also outlines the challenges faced by vendors and the market at large, as well as the key trends that are emerging in the market.

Currently, the adoption rate of fingerprint identification technology in ATMs in developing regions in Europe is low. One of the primary reasons for this is the lack of awareness about ATMs and the inability to operate them. Therefore, many banks have introduced ATMs integrated with biometrics in order to make it easier for end-users to access their accounts.

In addition, ATMs integrated with biometrics do not require a communication infrastructure. Moreover, the adoption of biometrics in the BFSI sector eliminates the need for ATM cards, saving huge costs for banks. This trend is gradually catching up, and the region is expected to witness an increase in the integration of biometrics in ATMs in the future.

According to the report, the growing need for advanced security in the Government sector is one of the drivers in this market. Government departments such as intelligence, defense, finance, and military are the major users of facial recognition technology. To secure their perimeter, government departments of various countries have installed stronger security measures, including biometric security solutions. In recent years, the Government sector has been the major contributor of revenue for the market.

Further, the report states that one of the key challenges in the market is the strong competition it faces from inexpensive non-biometric technologies. The presence of low-cost alternative technologies such as swipe cards, token-based two-factor authentication, and software authentication is a major challenge affecting the growth of the Biometrics market in Europe.

The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.

Increased body weight makes your movement difficult and keeps you away from several activities that you were easily performed, plus added lots of problems that were out of your reach of concerned about before.

5 Tips to Lose Weight with a Good Diet Strategy

1. Allow yourself small deviations . I do not think we should be extreme and not allow myself a treat as ... hmm, chocolate cake. But the key is to eat healthy most of the time, and when you allow yourself to eat sweets, do it in small doses. Two or three bites of cake or ice, for example, will not ruin your diet but satisfy your sweet tooth. Eat a whole pot of ice? Better to avoid.

2. Eat small portions when you go out . If you go to a party with lots of food, try to make small parts. Eat only to have more very hungry, then drink some water and talk with people without eating for a while, then when you get hungry again, take another small part, and so on. Prefer a dose of food that fits in your hand. If you separate several small portions over two hours, you will feel good but can never get too caught up.

3. Have substitutes for your little flaws. When I feel the urge to eat something sweet, I often take berries or fruit. My sister Kat loves mix berries with almond butter, chocolate protein powder and water ? snacks strange but satisfying. Some that are your weaknesses, find a substitute that meets these cravings when they inevitably arise.

4. Rid your home of snacks and junk food . If you're not very healthy food at home, you'll be more inclined to sell at a time and eat. But if you rid your home of these foods, you will not have that temptation. Empty your fridge and your cupboards sweets, pastries, frying food in refined flour, fats such as potato chips and French fries, etc..

5. Bring your own healthy food at a party . If allowed, bring a dish to a party where you plan to attend, and make it healthy. I love bringing my two favorite: Chile Leo, and my Best soup ever.

6. Fill up water, fruits, vegetables, and lean protein in the evening . Many festivals have at least two options among them there ? some fruit or vegetables, maybe a little lean protein that is not fried. I would fill it all, even if it is not really flat, and I eat a healthy dish later.

Maintaining a healthy weight has several benefits, including decreased risk of heart disease and diabetes. Read this article for some tips on how to lose weight and keep it off.

Enlist a friend to be your weight-loss workout buddy. Not only will having a friend hold you accountable so you won't bypass your workout for a night on the couch, but it will also inspire you to work harder.

One of the best ways to lose weight is to try to avoid processed foods as much as possible. Even the most beneficial processed foods have fats, salt, sugars (or artificial sugars), preservatives, and other ingredients your body doesn't need. The more whole and unprocessed your foods are, the more naturally filling and satisfying they will be for you, with a lower caloric intake.

Add an exercise program when trying to lose weight. Joining a gym can be a great idea. Tai Chi, Pilates, walking or jogging are other alternatives for you to consider. Always talk to a doctor if you are thinking to start a new problem with existing health issues. There are many exercises that you can do at home or work.

If you're having trouble losing weight, try using some fitness DVDs to give you a structured weight loss routine.

10 Weight Loss Tips for Beginners

There are many reasons for wanting to lose weight. Among the many reasons are feeling more energetic, better health, and more self confidence. It seems as if it should be an easy goal to accomplish once the desire for these things hits. However, it is not so easy to do, especially for those that have never tried to lose weight before. These simple tips, though, will make the weight loss process more bearable.

Don't Allow Yourself to Get Too Hungry

Hunger is the enemy of all that are trying to diet. When hungry, anything edible suddenly seems like a good idea. Whatever is consumed may quell the hunger, but it often comes back to haunt you later. Avoid that regret by planning meals and snack time in advance. Always have a healthy snack handy. Keep it in the car, a purse, a pocket, or anywhere else near by just in case you do get hungry and are caught away from home.

Do Not Cheat the Calorie Intake

Math does not lie. If roughly 3500 equals a pound, all it takes is an excess of 3500 a week to gain a pound a week. An excess in calories is more than the body uses. If the body cannot use all of the calories consumed in a day, it stores those calories as fat for later use. So if more calories are continuously being consumed than used, the fat builds up. Weight loss only begins when more calories are being used than consumed.

Eat Carefully After Exercise

A workout leaves a person feeling hungry, but eating too many calories after a workout can undo all of the work that would otherwise go toward the weight loss goal. People also tend to overestimate the amount of calories burned during a workout, thinking they can afford to eat more calories after a meal. One way to avoid that trap is to plan a healthy post workout snack that will curb the hunger without adding more calories.

Remember Red, Orange, and Green

If every time you eat a meal you put something either red, orange, or green on your plate, you will be sure to get many of the nutrients your body needs. In addition, colorful food is more attractive and increases the appetite. You will be more likely to eat more healthy food and less unhealthy calories. In fact, following a strict calorie counting diet may be too difficult. If so, try focusing on this tip instead.

Drink A Lot

Shying away from liquids for fear of retaining water weight is not a good idea. The truth is, a person is more likely to retain water when not getting enough of it. Not to mention, dehydration is not healthy and causes a whole host of other medical problems. It is much better to be a heavy drinker, especially at meal time. Drink water, though, not alcohol or other beverages. Not even diet sodas are helpful for weight loss. They are loaded with salt and unhealthy artificial sweeteners. Water is a zero calorie indulgence and it helps the stomach feel full so that less calories are ingested. The average person needs to consume about 64 ounces of water a day in order to avoid dehydration.

Ditch the Salt

Salt has the potential to increase both hunger and thirst. Plus, too much salt in the diet leaves a person feeling bloated, can cause weight gain, leads to water retention, and makes it hard to lose weight. Always check the labels on items purchased in the grocery store. Lower sodium options are always best. Better yet, whenever possible, prepare a meal at home where sodium does not have to be added.

Do Not Keep Food on the Table

Traditionally, food is placed in the center of the table and then passed around to put on the plate. However, that leads to temptation to eat more servings than necessary even if hunger is already gone. Instead, plate the food somewhere away from the place it will be eaten. You will be less likely to go back for seconds if you have to get up to get it.

Do Not Rush

People that eat quickly tend to eat more than those that eat slowly. This is because it takes some time for the brain to register the feeling of being full after food is in the stomach. The average time for the brain to realize the stomach is full is about 20 minutes. So, taking more time to chew food thoroughly and to fully enjoy the flavors of it gives the brain time to register that the stomach is full without overstuffing.

Eat Before Going Out

Going out with friends or going to parties tends to lead to excess food consumption. All the goodies are there for the taking. It is quite easy to mindlessly consume the snacks. To avoid that issue, eat a healthy meal before heading out. You will be more mindful of what and how much you eat.

Never Skip Breakfast

Research published by the British Journal of Nutrition suggests that those who eat breakfast every day stay more satisfied throughout the rest of the day than those that do not. The goal for breakfast should be about 250 calories and there should be protein included in the meal. This will keep you feeling fuller longer, making it less likely that you will do unhealthy snacking or that you will consume too many calories during lunch

5 Tips to Lose Weight and Save Your Heart

Our hearts are actively working twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week to pump oxygenated blood around our bodies. It needs as much health and help as possible to keep this good work up, but unfortunately most of us abuse our bodies, thus causing degradation of the heart resulting in heart disease. A leading cause of heart disease is high blood pressure and high cholesterol. One of the best ways to combat high cholesterol and improve heart health is to lose weight, particularly if you are morbidly obese. Here are some tips for losing weight to ensure your heart keeps up the good work for many years to come:

1. Don't starve yourself: Many people believe that the best way to lose weight is not to eat. This is not true at all, the more often you eat the faster your metabolism will burn the food, which in turn will help you to lose weight. However, you cannot eat just anything. You need to increase your quantities of fruits, vegetables and lean proteins whilst decreasing your intake of saturated fats and carbohydrates.

2. Get moving: Although you may balk at the word 'exercise' there are many other ways to get moving. Not everyone has time to visit the gym every day but there are other ways to get active. Take a walk with your dog every day, clean your house thoroughly, join a dance class and take the stairs instead of the elevator. These are all simple ways with which to get your blood pumping and the fat melting.

3. Drink water: Most of the time, when we feel like we are starving, it is actually our bodies crying out for hydration. Not only is drinking adequate amounts of water good for your skin, it also helps you to feel fuller and eat smaller portions when you do tuck in. Try to get at least eight glasses of water in a day, especially if it is very hot or you are working out.

4. Breakfast: The one meal that is often skipped, breakfast is actually the most important meal of the day. Eating breakfast kick-starts your metabolism. Avoid breakfast cereals that are high in sugar and carbohydrates.

5. Cook healthier: One of the biggest problems with food lies in its preparation. Foods that have been fried in oil or coated in spices and sauces are naturally going to be higher in fat content. Opt for steaming or boiling your food to make it healthier, and avoid adding too much salt.

Weight loss is a journey, and remember that the journey is more important than the destination. Once you start living a healthier lifestyle, you will feel and see the effects on your body and mind. Ensure that you check your heart health and cholesterol levels regularly so you can see the effects of your weight loss on your heart first hand.

Advantages of Lap Band Surgery

Even a few years ago, liposuction in India was the most established surgical way of reducing weight and layers of fat from the body. But the scenario has changed a lot in last two decades. With bariatric surgeries making its prominent place in the health care system, all earlier techniques have taken a back seat. Lap band surgery is another of such techniques that has been improving the quality of life by treating obesity and eliminating allied disorders which often pose a life threats to the patients.

Lap band is the common term used for gastric banding. In lap band surgery, a band adjustable in nature is placed at the upper portion of the abdomen by making a laparoscopic incision. This band is made of silicone and is adjusted as per requirement by filling it up with saline with the help of a port placed right under the stomach skin. The process of filling is same as you would blow air in a balloon in shape of a doughnut. The adjustment is done and undone as the capacity of the stomach changes with the change in your food habit and regime. This kind of surgery restricts the food intake as the pouch created by inserting the band is small and you start feeling full with the little amount of food. It slows down the process of food moving from the passage to the intestines.

Lap band surgery can be performed on obese person with a BMI of 40 kg/m2 or in special medical cases where the weight is anywhere between 35 kg/mg2 to 40 kg/m2. In other words, if you are 40 to 45 kilograms above the ideal weight and have a history of failed weight loss procedures including or excluding surgeries. Usually such surgeries are the final resorts for all those who could not succeed in losing weight and return to a normal lifestyle even after dieting, taking weight loss supplements, slogging hard in gymnasiums etc.

The effects of lap band surgery become evident only after the initial phase of healing of operation wound. For best results, you must take rest for first two weeks. If your recovery is fast and uneventful, the result of this surgery will be better. Initially, patient is recommended liquid diet, then on to semi solid and eventually solid. The span of each diet may vary as per the capacity of patient's body and opinion of the doctor. Lap band surgery cures and controls many problems that were tagged along with obesity. Women for whom obesity was a hindrance on the path to conceive, can now plan baby, though consultation would be required regarding adjustment of the band. This is the reason it is regarded as one of safest weight loss surgeries in India.

Nano-Bio Manufacturing Consortium Selects Wearable Sensor Patch Subsystem Project as First to Receive Funding

SAN JOSE, Calif., June 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Nano-Bio Manufacturing Consortium (NBMC) has selected a proposal by the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, to develop a wearable sensor patch subsystem as its first project in its mission to develop human performance-monitoring electronics. The project has $450,000 in total funding. Fifty percent will come from NBMC's U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) funds, and the remaining 50 percent will be contributed by the winning team of UMass Amherst and its industrial partner, GE.

This project, which also includes work done by the University of Cincinnati, focuses on the integration of the most mature system subcomponents in order to provide a deliverable demonstration of a microfluidic subsystem capable of time-gated acquisition of a sweat sample, along with detection of the target biomarker Orexin-A. Orexin-A is a naturally occurring neuropeptide hormone released by the hypothalamus, and plays a crucial role in the stability of arousal and alertness. A wearable paper-based patch incorporating this technology would ideally provide valuable data regarding wearer fatigue.

"This research could have profound implications not only for military use, but for any high-stress job in which alertness and responsiveness are critical," said Scott Miller, Lab Manager for Nanostructures and Surfaces at GE Global Research.  "Physical and mental fatigue can be a big issue for those who work as jet pilots, air traffic controllers, fire fighters, heavy-equipment operators, and in many other careers.  It's a safety issue, and the earlier we can detect fatigue, the earlier it can be addressed.  At GE, we are working to help solve this tough challenge."

Based on assessment of the challenges associated with various sensor options, the project's primary development centers on an interdigitated field effect transistor (FET) sensor. This technology has already demonstrated performance for Orexin-A detection from blood and saliva samples and offers the lowest-risk system integration. The team is also developing, as a close alternative, a radio-frequency (RF) impedance sensor that may offer higher stability and sensitivity.

According to Dr. Benjamin J. Leever, Flexible Materials & Devices Program Manager at AFRL, "Biosensors are of significant interest to the Air Force due to their exceptional sensitivity for a wide variety of molecules and biomarkers, including Orexin-A, which is the focus of the NBMC project led by UMass.  Better understanding the underlying mechanisms and maturing the technology could have broad applicability beyond this particular device and could enable new capabilities that strengthen the Air Force."

The project team's technical lead is Dr. James J. Watkins from the UMass Dept. of Polymer Science and Engineering, with GE's Dr. Azar Alizadeh as alternate technical representative and Laura Rea as AFRL program manager.  "UMass is known nationally and around the world for its contributions to projects that advance the status of the U.S. as a technological and economic leader," stated Dr. Watkins. "We are proud to partner with GE and the University of Cincinnati to pursue this first project for the NBMC, and look forward to reporting and demonstrating the fruits of our highly experienced team's efforts."

Malcolm Thompson, NBMC's CEO, said, "These first four funded projects, beginning with the work led by UMass, reflect innovative thinking and research methodologies that we believe have the potential to greatly impact efforts to optimize U.S. airmen's safety and effectiveness in the field, as well as to be highly valuable in non-military environments."
