The State government had taken a decision to scrap the VAT
(Value Added Tax) on films. It is worth mentioning here that the film industry
circles had been demanding the scrapping of VAT for the past some time and the
State Producers Council and the State Film Federation had met the Chief
Minister several times and submitted memorandums. The Chief Minister positively
responded to those representations recently and agreed to scrap the VAT on
films recently. As per the available information, government orders to this
effect would be released soon.<br /></div>

Eating egg yolks 'may help improve blood lipids'

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Including whole eggs as part of a weight loss diet may have positive effects on <span class="GRcorrect" id="GRmark_93d08d237607653574e434aa59f0034d485aac9b_lipoprotein:0">lipoprotein</span> profiles for individuals with metabolic syndrome, a new study has suggested.
 
<br />
In this study, middle-aged men and women with metabolic syndrome 
consumed either three whole eggs or an equivalent amount of egg 
substitute daily as part of a carbohydrate-restricted, weight loss diet.<br />

Although participants eating the whole eggs were <span class="GRcorrect" id="GRmark_aac205dbfc4fc6c963f4484782de6c862e438807_consuming:0">consuming</span>
 twice as much cholesterol as they had at the beginning of the study, 
the researchers observed no effects on total blood cholesterol or LDL 
cholesterol levels after 12 weeks on the diet.<br />

All participants, including those consuming whole eggs, had improved 
lipid profiles with decrease in plasma triglycerides and increases in 
HDL cholesterol.<br />

"Eating egg yolks <span class="GRcorrect" id="GRmark_c1773e18bd0e2b6f8e326369c030d34b50af272b_was actually associated:0">was actually associated</span>
 with enhanced health benefits in these high-risk individuals," Dr. 
Maria Luz Fernandez, lead author of the study from the University of 
Connecticut, said.<br />

"Subjects consuming whole eggs had greater increases in HDL 
cholesterol and more significant reductions in the LDL/HDL cholesterol 
ratio than those who ate the cholesterol-free egg substitute," she said.<br />

Naturally nutrient-rich, one large egg provides varying amounts of 13
 essential vitamins and minerals, including nutrients that aren't found 
abundantly in other foods, including vitamin D and <span class="GRcorrect" id="GRmark_ec55beb38099452898e0cfbd594e2bf3b1bfab7b_choline:0">choline</span>.<br />

Many of these nutrients reside in the yolk like lutein and 
zeaxanthin, which are antioxidants that may prevent macular degeneration
 and consequent age-related blindness.<br />

While eggs contain only small amounts of these nutrients, research shows that lutein and zeaxanthin from eggs may be more <span class="GRcorrect" id="GRmark_fb5334e0ef43e6b1e53b5f0c6f9871829e88a882_bioavailable:0">bioavailable</span>, or better used by the body, than from more concentrated sources like supplements.<br />

Weight management is a crucial aspect of preventing and managing chronic diseases like metabolic syndrome.<br />

All-natural, high-quality protein helps build muscle and allows 
people to feel fuller longer and stay energized, which can assist with 
weight management.<br />

In fact, an egg breakfast, compared with a bagel breakfast of similar <span class="GRcorrect" id="GRmark_5a5a1061ba0aef522545b5533de943db2ccb7b7c_calories:0">calories</span>,
 has been shown to lead to greater feelings of fullness and reduced food
 intake at later meals, resulting in a significant reduction in BMI and 
waist circumference.<br />

Fat-melting' undies under fire for being 'pseudo science'

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Commercial ads for a popular brand of women's underwear, which claim 
to melt fat or reshape the body using infra-red energy, are the subject 
of a complaint to the Therapeutic Products Advertising Complaints 
resolution panel.
 
<br />
Dr Ken Harvey from La Trobe University has questioned some assertions in the underwear ads as "pseudo science" and "ludicrous".<br />

South Australian company Brazcomm Imports distributes Scala Shapewear
 undergarments and claims that the underwear contains 
"ActiveBioCrystals" that "emit Far Infra Red" energy rays.<br />

According to the ad, the rays kick-start what is known as the BioPromise effect.<br />

One ad says this can reduce signs of cellulite and melt fat away.<br />

Brazcomm imports managing director Dr Tim Nielsen said that more than
 500,000 sets of the items have been sold in Australia, and that the 
popularity and success of the product was testament to its 
effectiveness.<br />

However, Dr Harvey, who was awarded the Choice magazine consumer champion award of 2012, is unconvinced.<br />

"It's classic pseudoscience with words that look like they might mean something," News.com.au quoted Dr Harvey as saying.<br />

"It's ludicrous," he said.<br />

In his complaint, Dr Harvey claims that the ads contain statements 
that cannot be verified, and likely to mislead, exploit the lack of 
knowledge on the part of the consumers.<br />

Dr Harvey concluded by saying that he could not find scientific 
evidence on medical databases to substantiate terms used in the ad like 
BioPromise, Biocrystals and Far Infra Red Rays.<br />

"None of this stuff has ever been written about scientifically," he said.<br />

Blue cheese can protect against heart disease

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Blue cheese, known for its <span class="GRcorrect" id="GRmark_b9074caa812c2ee3a9780dcee275ff41b8db0c02_mould:0">mould</span> and blue-green veins, has anti-inflammatory properties that can ward off heart diseases, scientists say.
 
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Roquefort cheese or blue cheese, 
aged in caves in the South of France, could be among the reasons why the
 French enjoy good health despite a diet high in saturated fat -- a 
situation dubbed "The French Paradox", researchers said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A process that occurs as the cheese 
ripens is good for a healthy gut, helps slow arthritis, and can slow the
 signs of ageing, such as cellulite, according to Cambridge-based 
biotech company Lycotec.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Researchers found that the properties of
 the blue cheese worked best in acidic environments, such as the lining 
of the stomach, the 'Daily Mail' reported.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The research, led by Dr Ivan Petyaev and
 Dr Yuriy Bashmakov suggests regular consumption by the French of 
Roquefort, Camembert and other moulded fermented cheeses could be one of
 the reasons the nation has the lowest rate of cardiovascular mortality 
in the developed world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Experts said Roquefort's properties could be extracted and used in pharmaceutical and anti-ageing products.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Observations indicate that consumption 
of red wine alone cannot explain the paradox and perhaps some other 
constituents of the typical French diet could be responsible for reduced
 cardiovascular mortality.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We hypothesise that cheese consumption,
 especially of moulded varieties, may contribute to the occurrence of 
the 'French paradox'," researchers said.</div>

Women spoil present in her search for a perfect man

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
As most women regret their past romances, new research has found that
 this is perfectly normal, revealing that their tastes change with age 
and proving that there is indeed a " perfect man" for every stage in a 
woman's life.
 
<br />
From bright young things on the hunt for a hunk to "later daters" 
looking for a cerebral soulmate, the research shows that a woman's age 
will often dictate the different characteristics they look for in a 
partner, the Daily Mail reported.<br />

The research in match.com's annual LoveGeist report, which tracks the
 nation's changing attitudes towards dating and relationships, also 
disproves the notion that standards drop later in life, as women over 55
 were shown to be most picky about who they date.<br />

Dr. Cecilia D'Felice, clinical psychologist and relationship expert 
at match.com, said: "It is natural that, as women mature, our tastes 
adjust to our developing expectations."<br />

"When younger, looks predominate as we seek out someone with whom we 
want to share our genes, but these 'surface attributes' become less 
important as we look for depth and new experiences later in life," she 
said.<br />

First and foremost, young women between 18 and 24 want a man they can
 show off to their friends. 47 percent said they would look for a 
relationship with someone their friends would approve of.<br />

As they forge ahead in their careers, women of ages 25 to 34 begin to
 take a more long-term view, but are still susceptible to a dashing man;
 physical attraction is more important than ever.<br />

Sexual compatibility is more important to this age group, than at any other stage in their lives.<br />

As they look to settle down, women aged 35-44 are most likely to have
 their head turned by an older man. 73 percent would be willing to date 
someone more than five years their senior.<br />

Finding a man with a high income is as important to this age group as
 any other. Women in this age range are less picky about who they date 
than any other.<br />

In later life, women look for more cerebral delights. Intelligence 
and shared values are more important to the over-55s, as is sharing a 
similar sense of humour.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

quantified how many years of life are gained by being physically active 
at different levels, among all individuals as well as among various 
groups with different body mass index (BMI).
 
Researchers from Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) collaborated with the National Cancer Institute for the study.<br /><br />"We
 found that adding low amounts of physical activity to one's daily 
routine, such as 75 minutes of brisk walking per week, was associated 
with increased longevity: a gain of 1.8 years of life expectancy after 
age 40, compared with doing no such activity," explained I-Min Lee, MD, 
associate epidemiologist in the Department of Preventive Medicine at BWH
 and senior author on this study.<br /><br />"Physical activity above this 
minimal level was associated with additional gains in longevity. For 
example, walking briskly for at least 450 minutes a week was associated 
with a gain of 4.5 years. Further, physical activity was associated with
 greater longevity among persons in all BMI groups: those normal weight,
 overweight, and obese," Lee added.<br /><br />In pooled data from six 
prospective cohort studies, the researchers examined associations of 
leisure-time physical activity of a moderate to vigorous intensity with 
mortality. They analysed data from more than 650,000 subjects and 
followed subjects for an average of ten years- analysing over 82,000 
deaths.<br /><br />The large sample size allowed them to estimate years of 
life gained after the age of 40 among persons with different levels of 
physical activity and BMI.<br /><br />The findings show that physical 
activity was associated with longer life expectancies across a range of 
activity levels and BMI groups. Participation in a low level of leisure 
time physical activity of moderate to vigorous intensity, comparable to 
up to 75 min of brisk walking per week, was associated with a 19 percent
 reduced risk of mortality compared to no such activity.<br /><br />Assuming
 a causal relationship, which is not specifically demonstrated in this 
research, this level of activity would confer a 1.8 year gain in life 
expectancy after age 40, compared with no activity.<br /><br />For those who
 did the equivalent to 150 min of brisk walking per week-the basic 
amount of physical activity currently recommended by the federal 
government-the gain in life expectancy was 3.4 years.<br /><br />These 
benefits were seen in both men and women, and among white and black 
participants. Importantly, they were also observed among persons who 
were normal weight, overweight, and obese.<br /><br />Participants faring 
best were those who were both normal weight and active: among normal 
weight persons who were active at the level recommended by the federal 
government, researchers observed a gain in life expectancy of 7.2 years,
 compared to those with a BMI of 35 or more who did no leisure time 
physical activity (a 5 ft 5 in tall person with BMI of 35 weighs 210

Female condom can protect against pregnancy: Study

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Researchers have developed a female condom which they claim can 
protect against pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV 
by dissolving inside the body and releasing chemicals.

Besides blocking the sperm, the condom could time-release a potent 
mix of anti-HIV drugs and hormonal contraceptives, the Daily Mail 
reported.<br />

Experts claim the ‘discreet protection’ can safeguard people from HIV and unwanted pregnancy by ‘melting’ inside the body.<br />

Researchers at the University of Washington (UW) developed the condom
 from tiny microfibres through a method called ‘electrospinning’.<br />

The cloth-like fibres can be woven from medicine into extremely thin 
‘webs’. They are then designed to dissolve after use, either within 
minutes or over several days.<br />

The team was given USD 1 million to develop the technology, which 
uses an electric field to charge fluid through air to create the very 
fine, nanometre-sized fibres.<br />

“Our dream is to create a product women can use to protect themselves
 from HIV infection and unintended pregnancy,” Kim Woodrow, a UW 
assistant professor of bioengineering, said.<br />

“We have the drugs to do that. It’s really about delivering them in a
 way that makes them more potent, and allows a woman to want to use it,”
 Woodrow said.<br />

“This method allows controlled release of multiple compounds. We were
 able to tune the fibres to have different release properties,” 
co-author Cameron Ball said.<br />

One of the fabrics dissolves within minutes, offering users immediate
 protection, while another fabric dissolves gradually over a few days, 
providing an alternative to the birth-control pill, to provide 
contraception and protect against Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).<br />

While the researchers agree the technology is more discrete, they admit that people may have some doubts.<br />

Aerobics boost brain power

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Regular exercise and remaining physically active not only benefits the body, but also the mind, new research has found. 
<br />
The study review by Hayley Guiney and Liana Machado from the 
University of Otago, New Zealand, focused on the importance of physical 
activity in keeping and potentially improving cognitive function 
throughout life.<br />

found that fitter individuals scored better in mental tests than their 
unfit peers, journal 'Springer' reported. Intervention studies found 
scores in mental tests improved in participants who were assigned to an 
aerobic exercise regimen compared to those assigned to stretch and tone 
classes.<br />

Interestingly, these results were not replicated in children or young
 adults. The one area where physical fitness or regular exercise was 
found to have an effect on cognitive function in these age groups was 
for memory tasks.<br />

Both the updating of working memory and the volume of information 
which could be held was better in fitter individuals or those put on an 
aerobic exercise regime.<br />

Look before you leap! Ascending one step at a time actually burns 
more calories than leaping up multiple stairs, a new study has found. 
Although more energy is initially expended when taking two steps per 
stride, over time, more energy is burnt up when you take your time, 
according to scientists from the University of Roehampton. Researchers 
found climbing five flights of stairs five times a week - an ascent of 
15m - burnt an average of 302 calories if stairs were taken one at a 
time. However, taking two steps with every stride will only burn 260 
calories, they said.</div>

Watching porn online 'can make you lose your memory'

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
People addicted to watching pornography on the internet are in danger of suffering from short-term memory loss, researchers say.
 
<br />
German scientists studied the part of the brain responsible for 
keeping information in the mind while using it to complete a task, 
critical for understanding, reasoning, problem solving and decision 
making.<br />

In the first research of its kind, they asked 28 men - all 
heterosexual with an average age of 26 - to look at a number of computer
 images, some pornographic and some nonsexual.<br />

The clean images included pictures of people doing a number of activities, like laughing, playing sports or carrying a weapon.<br />

The men logged a significantly greater number of incorrect answers 
when they viewed the porn than when they saw the nonsexual images.<br />

On an average, they answered correctly 67 percent of the time when 
they viewed pornographic pictures, which rose to 80 percent when they 
saw the clean pictures.<br />

According to researchers at the University of Duisburg-Essen, the 
findings could help psychologists understand why some people with 
internet porn addictions forget to sleep, miss appointments, shirk job 
responsibilities and neglect relationships.<br />

"Sexual arousal and its impacts on cognitive processes might explain 
parts of these negative effects," the Daily Mail quoted the researchers 
as writing.<br />

Binge eating and Obesity

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<strong>Obesity and Youth?</strong><br />

These two do not seem to go together. The reality is however 
difficult today. Eating disorders are so common and very much evident 
these days...<strong><br /><a href="http://www.sakshipost.com/images/news/dec/17/binge.jpg" rel="rokbox[610 310]" target="_blank" title=""><img border="0" src="http://www.sakshipost.com/images/news/dec/17/smart_thumbs/bingethumbs_medium250_0.jpg" style="border: 0; float: left; margin: 6px;" /></a></strong><br />

Each year, thousands of teens develop eating disorders, or problems with weight, eating, or body image.<br />Emotions  and  eating  habits.<br />Emotions
 play major role in one’s eating habits. Have you observed when you hang
 out with friends knowingly or unknowingly you tend to eat more simply 
because of ambience and company.<br />In contrast when you go out for business lunch you tend to restrain yourself.<br /><strong>Depression and eating disorders:</strong><br />Depression,
 anxiety, and other mood disorders are associated with both eating 
disorders and obesity. Adolescents who are depressed may be at an 
increased risk of becoming obese.<br />According to a recent study conducted over a period of one year mental health gets deeply affected.<br />In
 addition, many people with eating disorders suffer from clinical 
depression, anxiety, personality or substance abuse disorders, or in 
some cases obsessive compulsive disorder.with this  mental  health is  
affected.<br />Depression, boredom, loneliness, chronic anger, anxiety, 
frustration, stress, problems with interpersonal relationships and poor 
self-esteem can result in overeating and unwanted weight gain.<br />By 
identifying what triggers our eating, we can substitute more appropriate
 techniques to manage our emotional problems and take food and weight 
gain out of the process. Fluctuation in eating, being on both the 
extremes over eating when one is stressed or starving when in depression
 is hazardous.<br />There are extremes in eating behavior — A person who 
diets that never ends and gradually gets more restrictive, for example. 
Or the person who can't go out with friends because he or she thinks 
it's more important to go running to work off a snack eaten earlier.<br />

<strong>Emotional triggers:</strong><br /> If one is frequently addicted to following leads to obesity<br />• Constant adherence to increasingly strict diets, regardless of weight<br />• Habitual trips to the bathroom immediately after eating<br />• Secretly bingeing on large amounts of food<br />• Hoarding large amounts of food<br />• Increase in consumption of laxatives, diuretics or diet pills<br />Relationg eating disorders to obesity:<br />Eating
 disorders are more than going on a diet to lose weight quickly or 
trying to exercise every day. People generally keep weight reduction as 
their short term goal. They do vigorous, intense dieting program which 
will lead to adverse affects.<br />

 eating a lot. People with this problem don't want to be overweight. 
They wish they could be slim and healthy. Many times people who binge 
eat feel misunderstood. It's not as easy as others might think to just 
stop eating. With bingeing, a person feels out of control and powerless 
to stop eating while doing it. That's why binge eating is also called 
compulsive overeating.<br />

Unlike BED, obesity is not a psychiatric disorder, but it can be a 
symptom of emotional problems. There are many causes of obesity, 
including “emotional eating,” which occurs when a person turns to food 
as a way to cope with stress or low self-esteem. A person is considered 
overweight if their Body Mass Index (BMI) is above 25. If it’s above 30,
 a person is considered obese.<br />

<strong>How Binge Eating Disorder Leads to Obesity?</strong><br />The Health Risks of Binge Eating Disorder and Obesity<br />Like
 all eating disorders, binge eating can lead to serious health 
complications. Over time, compulsive overeating or bingeing usually 
leads to weight gain. The most common type of food that bingers turn to 
during binges is “junk food,” or food that is high in empty calories, 
carbohydrates, fat and sugar. One of the most serious consequences of 
binge eating is weight gain or obesity, which increases the risk for 
heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, cardiovascular disease, 
diabetes, respiratory problems, arthritis, cancer, sleep apneas, and 
emotional problems such as depression and anxiety.<br />

<strong>How to Stop Binge Eating and Curb Obesity</strong><br />

Many people who try to stop binge eating find that it’s very 
difficult to stop on their own. This is because binge eating is not a 
matter of will power; it is a psychological disorder that requires 
professional treatment and a strong support system to fully recover.<br />Rather
 making things complicated we can indeed build a healthy life style plan
 out, work outs, ignoring  short-term weightless plans makes you 
live health and  fit.</div>

Foam injection stops internal bleeding

The spray foam developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects 
Agency (DARPA) can be used to stop internal bleeding, particularly in 
the abdominal cavity which is life threatening because there is little 
that can be done to stop the bleeding, Discovery News reported.<br />

DARPA is hoping that their new foam can help the wounded survive until they get to treatment facilities.<br />

The polyurethane polymer foam is designed by Arsenal Medical as part 
of DARPA's Wounded Stasis Program and it can be injected by a field 
medic in two liquid phases, a polyol phase and an isocyanate phase. When
 the liquids mix, they expand to 30 times their original volume.<br />

As it expands, the foam fills the abdominal cavity and conforms to 
the surface of the injured tissue and organs. The foam then hardens, 
providing resistance to intra-abdominal blood loss.<br />

DARPA claimed the foam could even expand through pooled and clotted blood.<br />

Researchers found that removal of the foam took less than one minute 
after an incision by a surgeon. Only minimal amounts of the foam 
remained in the abdominal cavity and no significant amount of tissue 
stuck to the foam.<br />

Lets see what Wine speaks about you

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
It is possible to generalise drinkers based on their favourite 
tipple, with those who like a glass of red wine being ambitious 
go-getters while people preferring white being more relaxed and 
happy-go-lucky, researchers say.
 
<br />
According to the new study, red wine drinkers are wealthier, more 
educated and happier than average people, while rose drinkers are the 
unquestioned kings and queens of social networking, visiting sites like 
Facebook multiple times every day on an average.<br />

White wine drinkers are home-lovers who enjoy a holiday in the UK and are content with their position on the career ladder.<br />

"They say you can tell a lot about someone from their favourite 
tipple, and it seems that it is definitely the case when it comes to 
wine," the Daily Mail quoted a spokesman for French Wines with Style, 
which commissioned the report, as saying.<br />

"From the study it looks as though those with certain personality traits are drawn to certain styles of wine," he said.<br />

The survey of 2,000 adults looked into everything from earnings and career prospects to personal attributes.<br />

More than half of red wine drinkers are university graduates, and they typically earn between 40-45,000 pounds per year.<br />

And while 81 percent are currently happy at work, 65 percent are 
still highly ambitious and want to scale higher up the career ladder.<br />

In comparison, a white wine drinker pockets around 25-30,000 pounds 
per year, with just 43 percent having attended university, and most are 
not very interested in the corporate ladder, with more than two fifths 
admitting they are really not that ambitious.<br />

Squeezing breasts could stop growth of cancer cells

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
A simple little squeeze may preventmalignant breast cells from 
spreading and triggering cancer,according to a new study led by an 
Indian-origin scientist.
 
<br />
Laboratory experiments found that applying physicalpressure to the 
cells guided them back to a normal growth pattern."People have known for
 centuries that physical force can influence our bodies," said Gautham 
Venugopalan, a leading member of the research team at the University of 
California in Berkeley, US.<br />

<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6807575462480269281" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6807575462480269281" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a>"When we lift weights our muscles get bigger. The force of gravity is
 essential to keeping our bones strong. Here we show  that physical 
force can play a role in the growth - and reversion - of cancer cells," 
Venugopalan said.<br />

The study involved growing malignant breast epithelial cells within a gel injected into flexible silicone chambers.<br />

This allowed the scientists to apply compression during the first 
stages of cell growth, effectively squashing the cells, the 'Daily Mail'
 reported.<br />

Over time, the squeezed malignant cells began to grow in a more 
normal and organised way. Once the breast tissue structure was formed 
the cells stopped growing, even when the compressive force was removed. 
Non-compressed cells continued to display the haphazard and uncontrolled
 growth that leads to cancer.<br />

"Malignant cells have not completely forgotten how to be healthy; 
they just need the right cues to guide them back to a healthy growth 
pattern," said Venugopalan.<br />

The results were presented at the annual meeting of the American Society for Cell Biology in San Francisco.<br />

"We are showing that tissue organisation is sensitive to mechanical 
inputs from the environment at the beginning stages of growth and 
development," Professor Daniel Fletcher, who runs the Berkeley 
laboratory, said.<br />

"An early signal, in the form of compression, appears to get these malignant cells back on the right track," Fletcher said.<br />

However, the team do not envisage fighting breast cancer with a new 
range of compression bras."Compression, in and of itself, is not likely 
to be a therapy. But this does give us new clues to track down the 
molecules and structures that could eventually be targeted for 
therapies," Fletcher said.<br />

Adding a drug that helps to prevent cells adhering to their neighbors
 reversed the effects of compression, the scientists found. The cells 
returned to a disorganized,cancerous state despite being compressed. </div>

9 best ways to defeat stress

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
The difference between those who are successful and those who aren't 
is not whether or not you suffer from stress, but how you deal with it 
when you do.
 
<br />
<br />

Heidi Grant Halvorson, Ph.D. Motivational psychologist and author, 
'Succeed' and "Nine Things Successful People Do Differently" has 
suggested nine scientifically proven strategies for defeating stress 
whenever it strikes, according to the Huffintonpost.<br />

Have self-sompassion, she says. Self-compassion is, in essence, 
cutting yourself some slack. It's being willing to look at your mistakes
 or failures with kindness and understanding-without harsh criticism or 
defensiveness.<br />

A dose of self-compassion when things are at their most difficult can
 reduce your stress and improve your performance by making it easier for
 you to learn from your mistake, she suggested.<br />

Second she suggests people to think about the "big picture" - 
Thinking big picture about the work you do can be very energizing in the
 face of stress and challenge, because you are linking one particular, 
often small action to a greater meaning or purpose.<br />

So when staying that extra hour at work at the end of an exhausting 
day is thought of as "helping my career" rather than "answering emails 
for 60<br />

She asks people to rely on routines - Having to make so many 
decisions is a powerful and pervasive cause of stress. Every time you 
make a decision-you create a state of mental tension that is, in fact, 
stressful.<br />

The solution is to reduce the number of decisions you need to make, 
by utilizing routines. Have a routine for preparing for your day in the 
morning, and packing up to go home at night. Simple routines can 
dramatically reduce your experience of stress, she said.<br />

Another simple way is to take five (or 10) minutes to do something 
you find interesting. She points out to recent research that showed that
 interest doesn't just keep you going despite fatigue, it actually 
replenishes your energy. And then that replenished energy flows into 
whatever you do next.<br />

Add where and when to your to-do list, she noted.<br />

Nearly 200 studies, on everything from diet and exercise to 
negotiation and time management, have shown that deciding in advance 
when and where you will complete a task can double or triple your 
chances of actually doing it, she said.<br />

<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6807575462480269281" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=6807575462480269281" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a>Halvorson also ask workers to use if-thens for positive self-talk. 
Recent studies show that if-then plans can help us to control our 
emotional responses to situations in which we feel fear, sadness, 
fatigue, self-doubt, or even disgust.<br />

Simply decide what kind of response you would like to have instead of
 feeling stress, and make a plan that links your desired response to the
 situations that tend to raise your blood pressure, she asserted.<br />

Workers should see their work in terms of progress, not perfection, according to Halvorson.<br />

When you think about what you are doing in terms of learning and 
improving, accepting that you may make some mistakes along the way, you 
experience far less stress, and you stay motivated despite the setbacks 
that might occur, she said.<br />

Or think about the progress that you've already made - It can be 
enormously helpful to take a moment and reflect on what you've 
accomplished so far before turning your attention to the challenges that
 remain ahead, she stated.<br />

Know whether optimism or defensive pessimism works for you, she said.<br />

Some people think of their jobs as opportunities for achievement and 
accomplishment-they have what psychologists call a promotion focus.<br />

For others, doing a job well is about security, about not losing the 
positions they've worked so hard for. This prevention focus places the 
emphasis on avoiding danger, fulfilling responsibilities, and doing what
 feel you ought to do, she said.<br />

Promotion motivation feels like eagerness-the desire to really go for
 it-and this eagerness is sustained and enhanced by optimism. Believing 
that everything is going to work out great is essential for 
promotion-focused performance, she explained.<br />

Prevention motivation, on the other hand, feels like vigilance-the 
need to keep danger at bay-and it is sustained not by optimism, but by a
 kind of defensive pessimism. In other words, the prevention-minded 
actually work best when they think about what might go wrong, and what 
they can do to keep that from happening, she added,</div>

Sarocharu releasing on Dec 21

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Priyanka Dutt, daughter of producer Aswini Dutt has confirmed the release of Raviteja's '<strong>Sarocharu</strong>' on December 21st at any cost.

for movie to hit the screens because once we enter into the new year 
with Pongal season on, there is no way an out of form player like

Tamanna Bhatia, Trisha Krishnan, Anushka Shetty and Ileana D'Cruz are highest paid actresses in Telugu film industry.
 
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, actress Samantha, who has got rave 
reviews for her performance in Yeto Vellipoyindhi Manasu, has joined the
 league. According to reports, she is being paid a biggest amount of 
money as remuneration to act in young tiger Junior NTR's upcoming movie.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Samantha's demand has shot up after the 
huge success of Eega. Although she has been flooded with several offers,
 she has picked hardly a few of them. <br /><br />Now, reports suggest that 
she is offered a package of Rs 1.25 crore, which is next to that of 
Ileana D'Cruz, who charged Rs 1.5 crore for Snehithudu. <br /><br />Her 
remuneration suddenly got increased after producers Dil Raju and 
Bellamkonda Suresh vied for her dates. It is reported that Dil Raju and 
Bellamkonda Suresh are producing two different movies with Junior NTR 
and both the producers approached her to act opposite the same hero. <br /><br />But
 Samantha has reportedly accepted the offer of Bellamkonda Suresh, who 
has agreed to pay Rs 1.25 crore for his much-hyped project. But a close 
friend of Samantha has denied the reports saying that it is a baseless 
rumour. <br /><br />He adds that the actress herself does not know how this 
rumour started and these figures are just unbelievable. However, she 
will do films of both Dil Raju and Bellamkonda Suresh back-to-back.</div>

It was a launch a newcomer would only dream of. And the dream came 
true for singer Aaryan, who was introduced to the world through the 
father - daughter duo of filmmakers Mahesh and Pooja Bhatt here.
 
<br />
Aaryan's first music video called "Ranjhann" was uploaded online a 
few weeks ago. It attracted as many as 5 million views. The singer's 
melodious voice caught the attention of Dubai-based Indian businessman 
Shiraz Gidwani, who decided to launch the fresh talent.<br />

The 25-year-old Indore boy was introduced through a grand celebration at the Burj Khalifa here.<br />

"I like his innocence. The YouTube video of Aaryan's song was 
uploaded the same day when Salman Khan's 'Dabangg 2' song 'Dagabaaz re' 
was released. And Aaryan's song managed to get around 5.3 million hits, 
which is commendable," said Pooja.<br />

Pooja, who is mesmerized by Aaryan's voice, has already decided to take one of his songs in her next film.<br />

"I have already requested Aaryan to give me one of his songs for my 
next film. It's such a beautiful song," said the 
actress-turned-director.<br />

Aryan says a launchpad like this is a dream come true for him. The 
singer seemed nervous, but still managed to mesermerise the audience 
with his songs during his performance.<br />

"Honestly, I was very nervous on stage. This was such a huge launch 
for me, it's like a dream come true. For me music is my passion, which 
has got me here and thanks to bhaiya (Shiraz Gidwani), who believed in 
me and thanks to Mahesh and Pooja Bhatt, who are here for me," Aaryan 
said<br />

Aaryan has trained under music composer duo Sajid-Wajid's father Ustad Sharafat Ali Khan.<br />

"I have trained under him. Even Sajid-Wajid were often there to help 
me whenever I needed them. It was an amazing experience and I got an 
opportunity to learn so much from them," said Aaryan, who can also play 
guitar, harmonium and piano.<br />

anything."</div>

Charan attacks media for writing about Pawan

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Actor Ram Charan Teja seemed to be very 
furious on a section of people in the media. Addressing the music launch
 of his upcoming movie Naayak.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The actor came down heavily upon them for creating differences between his uncle, Power star Pawan Kalyan and his mega family. <br /><br />He
 reiterated that his family is very much united and all members share 
great bond. Ever since Pawan Kalyan gave a miss to Ram Charan's Naayak 
audio release, it has been rumoured that the Power Star had differences 
with Chiranjeevi and other family members. <br /><br />Which is why he did 
not attend the event. Several reports surfaced on their relationship on 
the later occasions. But the Mega family had kept mum on this issue. 
Neither Pawan nor Chiranjeevi had defended them. <br /><br />On Monday 
evening, Pawan Kalyan attended the music launch of Ram Charan's Naayak. 
Cherry, who addressed the gathering after its audio release, took this 
moment to reply to the speculation. <br /><br />He said that he would not 
care about whatever media writes as his uncle Pawan suggested him not to
 respond to them. Many people in the audio launch function were shocked 
as Ram Charan Teja made his furious statement about the media. <br /><br />The
 young actor further said, "As a family, we are very much united and 
share a great bond. Due to his personal commitments, he could not attend
 my filmy functions in the past. But that does not mean we are

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many are not only crazy about her but they also respect her for the way she carries herself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But it is heard that recently when 
Anushka was seen in the film Damarukam, many felt she has lost that glow
 and charm. It could be possible because Anushka is already 33 so age is
 catching up.<br /><br />However, another source reveals that Anushka who 
was once a yoga teacher has stopped practicing yoga and that is why she 
is losing her charm.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are not many films, which have 
received 'U' certificate. Ravi Teja's next outing Sarocharu is the 
latest movie to get 'U' certificate from the Board, which is announced 
as a clean entertainer. <br /><br />Sarocharu is a romantic comedy 
entertainer, which is directed by Parasuram and produced by Priyanka 
Dutt. Ravi Teja is playing a role of football coach, while Kajal 
Aggarwal and Richa Gangopadhyay appear as his love interests. <br /><br />Baanam
 fame Nara Rohit is also seen in an important role in this movie. The 
much-awaited Telugu movie Sarocharu has been watched by the officials of
 the Censor Board on Tuesday, December 18.<br /><br />The Censors were very 
happy with the outcome of the film and they awarded it a clean 'U' 
certificate without any cut. A source from the Board says that it is a 
good treat for family audience, who can sit together and watch it. <br /><br />However,
 the year 2012 has been very lucky for Ravi Teja as three of his 
releases like Daruvu, Devudu Chesina Manushulu and Nippu, which hit the 
screens earlier this year, had average fares at the Box Office. <br /><br />Now,
 with Sarocharu slated to release on December 21, it should be seen 
whether Mass Maharaja will be able to rock the viewers or not.</div>

With over 350 drug rackets unearthed 
till October this year that saw arrest of as many as 813 accused, Andhra
 Pradesh Police will intensify campaign against drug traffickers by 
launching raids.
 
Police have drawn up short and long term
 plans to control narcotics menace and say their proposed action will 
see arrest of more number of drug racketeers, users and suppliers. With 
the arrest of some Tollywood actors (Telugu movie industry) on charge of
 consumption of cocaine in the past, police said they will also be 
keeping a track on such film personalities. <br />
Apart from keeping a 
close watch on pubs, resorts and other points of drug addicts ahead of 
the New Year, police have stepped up their crackdown by deploying more 
decoy teams in Hyderabad city to catch hold of drug traffickers, users 
and peddlers red-handed, CID Additional Director General of Police T 
Krishna Prasad told PTI. Police will also be using dog squads to check 
vehicles and buildings in connection with its drive. <br />
Besides, 
checkposts will be set up and surprise raids will be conducted under the
 Hyderabad and Cyberabad Police Commissionerate limits, he said. The 
next step to deal with narcotics will be by carrying out series of more 
and specific raids by the district Superintendents of Police across the 
state, Prasad explained. <br />
These measures will see more arrests and 
seizures which will ultimately help in controlling the drug menace, the 
top CID officer said, adding that as part of the proposed drive, police 
will focus more against narcotics while they were till now preoccupied 
with law and order duty. <br />
 If any drug is found in a vehicle or a 
building, the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act 
provides with a facility to attach such properties or vehicles, Prasad 
said. Warning of stern measures against drug users, Prasad appealed to 
public, particularly students and youngsters not to indulge in drug 
abuse, as the punishment under NDPS Act was imprisonment up to 20 years.
 If repeated, the offence carries death penalty under the Act, he added.
 <br />
The number of arrests in drug cases has seen an increase during 
2012 with as many as 813 accused including 7 foreigners (hailing from 
Nigeria and other foreign countries) being nabbed from across the state 
till October this year, as compared to around 600 accused including 11 
foreign nationals held last year. While 394 drug cases were registered 
in 2011, as many as 365 cases have been booked till October this year. <br />
Apart
 from seizing cocaine, police also recovered about 18,319 kg 'ganja' and
 5 kg brown sugar during this year as compared to 15,668 kg 'ganja' 
seized in 2011. Investigators dealing with drug cases had earlier found 
that drug racketeers were not only operating from Hyderabad, but their 
gangs were carrying out operations from Delhi, Mumbai and other places 
from where they were procuring the narcotics substances. <br />
In 2010, 
the Hyderabad Police had busted several drug-racket networks involving 
Nigerian and Ugandan nationals. It had also helped them in exposing the 
drug mafia-Tollywood link after the arrested reportedly revealed that 
their clients included actors and actresses from Telugu film industry 
and important personalities from posh localities of Hyderabad. </div>
