The federal government helped finance the creation of a so-called "diet choker" that monitors the eating habits of the wearer.
WearSens, created by engineers at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), is a necklace that can automatically detect when a person is eating or smoking, and can send alerts to a smart phone telling the user to stop.
The invention received a $148,379 grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 2013 to create a sensory necklace to "fill the need of automatically detecting swallows and eating patterns."
Researchers at UCLA, led by Majid Sarrafzadeh, the director of the Embedded and Reconfigurable Computing Lab of the university's computer science department, released the findings of a pilot study on the necklace this month.
CBS News called the invention "slightly odd."
"These sensors track the vibration that occurs in the neck when a person chews food and swallows their drink," the report said. "This 'diet choker,' designed by engineers at University of California Los Angeles, can even sense what type of food you're eating since something crunchy is likely to make the neck vibrate more than food that's soft. The sensors can also determine if a person is downing a hot or cold drink."
New York Magazine described the necklace as a "choke collar to judge your eating habits."
"The WearSens choker can assess portions and contents of meals, whether someone is chewing, drinking, or smoking — all by tracking throat vibrations," they said. "The device can be set to buzz or send alerts if any undesirable behavior occurs."
A video demonstrates how users can enter their age, gender, height, and weight into a smart phone app and set diet goals. The app currently has a section entitled "My habits." Positive messages include: "you ate breakfast today," "you ate at a good speed," and "you are at 90 percent of your goal."
"Great job! Keep it up," a message from the app reads after the user eats breakfast. "Breakfast is your never miss meal. Breakfast gives you energy. It tops up your energy stores for the day and helps to regulate blood sugar."
Negative messages read: "you skipped meals," "you may be dehydrated," and "you may be eating too much."
Sarrafzadeh told Popular Science that he and his team personalized the device in a pilot study by having people eat a "3-inch Subway sandwich and then sip down a 12-ounce drink."
The researchers envision the device not only for dieting, but also for quitting smoking, or reminding people with medical conditions to take their pills.

Fun through the Narrows!
... the more and more we went
on. We hit a really beautiful section and beat the crowds to this point so we
got the best photos and sat down and ate our sandwiches. It was around 2:45pm
and we looked further down the river canyon and saw that it just kept going and

I'm sure I would disagree with this statement if you asked me on the way up, but it felt the way down was harder - the old joints, knees and calves really were tested and we could just imagine the world of pain we would be in tomorrow! It was also very hot, must have been nearly 30 degrees and we were hiking at the worst time of the day but as we only opted for the 1 night in Zion, it was our only opportunity. The other hike choice was Angels Landing which is a ...

3 Days in Whistler
One Day in Whistler
Guide to Whistler Outdoors
Had brunch with the kids there and everybody cleaned their plates. The omelettes and crepes are delicious. Can't go wrong.
First bit of advice: go early (1730 to 1800) or be prepared to wait outside for a table. This is a tiny and very popular restaurant. It offers a variety of crepes; I had the seafood crepe and my wife had the cordon Bleu, and both were very good. The warm berry dessert crepe was excellent. Service was friendly and...
We decided to visit Crepe Montagne because they seem to be the only place in Whistler that serve raclete. Unfortunately we have to say that we were disappointed: after a very well prepared french soup, the "raclete" was served in a non-traditional grill. The cheese was medium grade at best and although there were plenty of options to choose from...
I've passed this place a few times prior to visiting and always notice many French speaking people lined up. Coming from Europe I assumed they were French, and in my simple mind the thought process was French people lined up at creperie = must be good creperie. D'oh. Canadians speak French. Not that Canadians' taste palate is any less sophisticated...
Came back after two years and the breakfast and service was still great. Lots of options for all the preferences. I ordered savoury crepes and really enjoyed them. One of us ordered the banana & Nutella crepes and she said they were fantastic! The booster seat was not very good for our daughter because we couldn't strap her in but...
We decided for a visit to crepe-montagne tonight, as no proper skiing trip is complete without its share of melted cheese.
Unfortunately, your fill of alpage cheese won't be met at this restaurant, which uses decidedly sub-par products, despite the high prices advertised.
The cheese had clearly been frozen, and hardly tasted like raclette cheese.
If you've had a chance...
The crepes were good but did not think anything special after travelling and eating a lot in France.
Thought rather expensive for what they were especially in a small cafe rather than a restaurant.
Staff friendly and helpful.
We only popped in here for the Crepes on account of my brother who lives in Whistler and suggested crepe montagne. We tried the chocolate caramel crepe as well as the warm berry crepe. Both were delicious however I enjoyed the warm berry crepe the most. The service was very quick and friendly. The coffee was good and I didn't...
Drove up from Seattle to the city center of Whistler, where we found this gem of a place a quick walk away.
What works: Killer fondue and the crepes of course. The decor is amazing and you feel snug and warm inside. On a snowy day, with the fondue on your table; nothing could be more blissful.
What doesn't work:...
Had a great breakfast here today. Yes it is on the more expensive side but it was worth it. Good food and good service!

I am here to tell you to take heart, both you who are kosher, and you who are vegetarian. You will never miss the flavor of beef in this incredibly rich and savory broth. As to the cheese, my brother prefers gruyere, but depending on your preferences, I have made it with havarti, swiss, sharp cheddar, and parmesan, and sometimes a combination of these. All are delicious! Bon appetit!
Vegetarian French Onion Soup
(makes 6-10 servings)
- 1 lb. button, white, portobello, or fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 1 oz. dried shiitake or porcini mushrooms
- 1 cup of hot water
- 1 Tablespoon of sesame oil
- 1/2 cup of dry wine
- 2 Tablespoons of flour
- 3 Tablespoons of mushroom soy sauce
- 1 Tablespoon of tamarind paste
- 4 cups of water
- 1 Tablespoon of pareve chicken soup powder (Telma or Osem)
- Fresh ground pepper to taste
- 2 tsps. smoked Maldon salt
- 2-4 large sweet onions (about 2-1/2 lbs.), peeled and sliced into short strands
- 1 lb. good quality cheese, shredded (I suggest gruyere, sharp cheddar, havarti, or parmesan)
- 1 loaf crusty French baguette or Italian bread with a diameter that somewhat fits your serving bowls when sliced
In a 6-8 qt. saucepan, sautè fresh mushrooms in butter until very tender and much of their liquid has evaporated, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Add wine and continue to sauté until it has greatly reduced, about another 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, soak dried mushrooms in hot water until soft. Add to fresh mushrooms along with soaking water after liquids have reduced. Continue to cook on medium heat for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Purée mixture as finely as possible with a stick blender.
In another large frying pan on low to medium heat, sauté the onions in the sesame oil until they begin to brown and caramelize. Add flour and continue to cook for 5 to 10 minutes more. Add the four cups of water gradually while continuing to cook on medium heat until mixture comes to a boil.
To onion mixture, add mushroom soy sauce, tamarind paste, pareve soup mix, fresh ground pepper, and smoked salt. Lower heat to simmer. Add puréed mushroom mixture and continue to simmer soup on low heat for about an hour, stirring occasionally.
When ready to serve, toast half-inch thick slices of bread. Place oven-proof bowls on a shallow baking sheet. Ladle in soup. Top with toasted bread slices. Sprinkle generously with shredded cheese. Place tray in oven so that cheese is about 6 inches from the broiler element and broil until cheese is melted and browned around the edges. Serve immediately.

I just purchased this ceiling fan and can't figure out how to change the lamp's default setting to "on". The instructions list a method of flipping the light switch on, then off, then back on very quickly, but this doesn't seem to work.

is it possible to study for the composing section and if so how?
Write, read and write. That simple, read books (you enjoy) and write as much as possible, and compare your stories/essays to different short stories. Its a massive part of the paper but I often feel its pushed to one side.

I bought this TV back in February for myself and then the pixels and every single.panel started acting.up in May, it starts off with a faded looking.panel then it starts with the next panels on the right then.it goes to the middle.panel, I thought I messed the TV up but it.ended.up being a common thing some.major.electronic.stores discontinued this TV that's y the price is so.low and reasonable when I called the RCA manufacturer they sent someone to fix the.panels of the TV and I find out that they no longer.make the panels for the TV so I would recommend you not getting the TV or put an extended warranty on ur TV
This is not your grandfather's RCA TV! I compared TVs from all companies. I was looking for a TV under $650 and it needed to have a Component in, a PC in, and at least 2 HDMI ins. Preferably 120hz and of course 1080p. This TV was $550 and the next TV that I thought was better was over $725. So quite a gap to get very little performance difference.
The picture is quite good and does not digitize during dark scenes or get blurry during fast scenes are displayed. Many TVs will look patchy during dark scenes, and blurry during fast action scenes. (Blurry meaning having trailing pixilation.)
This TV has 4 HDMI ins, 1 Component, 1 Composite in, and 1 PC in. Most of the TVs in this price range have 2 HDMI ins, and Zero PC ins.
The sound is acceptable, but not incredible. I have it hooked to a Dennon Receiver and Surround speakers for watching movies.
If you want a value and high quality, then the RCA is a very good choice.
So this is the 3rd RCA product I own and I have to say that this one does not do as well as my 2nd TV was. I love the look of it, it was very easy to setup and install. the colors and look of it are pretty good, except that I have 2 issues that I cannot seem to fix on my own and will require me to call in for a service call...the first one is that the black image of the screen is not very black, in fact it has huge white shaded spots and is not very consistent of what I feel is a black background, and the second is that I cannot get it to use the 120hz signal it says it is...I called the tech support people to have them help me out and I was told that this is not a real 120hz but a simulated one??? What the heck does that mean...I have been in the Computer industry for 33 years I know when a monitor is running 120hz versus 60hz or 75hz or any other number...so to me this made no sense....it also has big digital pixelation issues too
After ALOT of comparison shopping, I bought this TV as a gift for myself and am so happy that I did. At first I was concerned about some of the reviews that I read regarding the TV arriving with broken pixels, a broken screen or that the TV would turn off with no warning. I have owned this TV since August and have not ran into ANY problems! If I could change anything about this TV, it would be the speakers...out of 100, the TV needs to be on 80 or higher just to hear the people speaking...but then when music came on or an explosion, you could hear the distortion from the speakers working overtime. I'm not a big "speaker" person, but really you should get a surround sound system (like I did) and it makes a world of difference! I love that I can hook up my laptop through the HDMI, we have our Blue Ray player, WII and XBOX 360 all connected! The picture is great and I highly recommend this TV!!!
This TV is the right size, almost exactly what I was looking for. The setup was easy and took less than 5 minutes. The picture is what I expect it to be. There is some uneven light patterns that can be seen when the power is on and the screen is black. More than just minor flash lighting, but it doesn't seem to interfere with the overall quality of the picture when watching a program.
The remote is easy to use as well.
The one thing I am majorly disappointed about is that there is no optical audio out, though there is a digital audio jack. For such a nice TV, you would think they would put an optical audio out jack, for those of us who prefer the quality. Though I think that to most people this wouldn't make a difference.
Overall, I'm pleased with this product and would recommend it to anyone. It's a good deal for the price.
Just got this home, and when viewing HD broadcast the picture is fantastic. Unfortunately during any dark scenes during movies you will notice cloudiness all around the screen and its very distracting. Furthermore, there is significant lag time between my XBOX and the TV. I have explored every possible option on both the console and television to improve this lag time, but there is simply nothing you can do about it even after both were set to optimal "video gaming modes" so to speak. If you play video games, you will certainly notice it. Its noticeable enough that I'm about to pack it up and return it. As good a value as the price is, I'd rather pay a bit more for something that will perform better. Also yes the sound is terrible.
Actually had bought a 47" Vizio smart 240hz LED-LCD 1080p 3D for about $900 and wasn't overly impressed and realized I would only rarely use the 3D in the next couple years and wasn't likely to use the 'smart' features much either. After reading an article about the little difference in 240hz vs 120hz and almost all 'source material' being less far than 60hz, I wanted to test these 2 TVs side by side with serious motion images. I watched the NHL playoffs on both TVs and saw little to no difference at all, actually, I generally preferred the RCA picture so back went the Vizio and saved about pretty much $400. Now if only I could fix the very slight lag between the picture and the audio....
(there was a menu option in the video for adjusting the audio sync that the RCA lacks, but it didnlt fix it up proper on the Vizio either.)
I have been using this 46" RCA 120hz 1080p LED TV for one week now and like it very much. For the price it really can't be beat. It does have LED edge lighting and the blacks are not as fantastic as $1000 sets ... but that is to be expected. For $499 it's a great deal and delivers fantastic high def picture quality. Sports have never looked better. I will post an update after 6 months of use.
When I first booted it up, there was one dead pixel. To my amazement, it went away.
It does not have optical digital audio out (coax digital out only).
The speakers are not that great ... but I use a receiver home theater setup, so I never use the TV's built in speakers.
The build quality is not up to Samsung or Sharp, as to be expected.
The stand required installing 12 screws which was more time consuming that I would have liked it to be. It's a 2-person job.
Mainly all I wanted was a high quality 46" high def picture for a good price. I got it.
I looked for about 2 months before purchasing this TV. That was a mistake. Immediately when I plugged it in only 2 HDMI ports worked and there were white clouds all over the screen. In about 3 days, all 4 HDMI ports stopped working. I had read the reviews about how poor the hdmi ports were but didn't believe them. UNLESS YOU WANT TO WAIT IN THE RETURNS LINE AT WALMART, LIKE I DID, DON'T BUY THIS TV!
I've been looking for a 47 inch TV for some time. The prices were not where I wanted them to be but when I saw the ad for a RCA 46 inch 1080p 120HZ at Walmart for $529 I decided it was time to purchase it. It was delivered to my door when promised in excellent condition. It was easy to set up....connect two things to make the base so the TV can stand and then attach it to the TV. One person can do it by themselves but I did ask a girlfriend to come over to help me. The set up for the screen was easy. Just follow the instructions on the screen and then you have a perfect picture. The only reason I gave a 4 out of 5 for the sound quality is because you have to turn the sound up higher when you are watching a DVD. Other than that, the TV is perfect.
After spending a lot of time researching TV's, we finally bought this TV. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The picture is fantastic. It's slim and and the colors are bright and vivid. The stand is adequate, allowing the TV to swivel.
My only complaint is the sound - it reminds me of an old radio. BUT, that problem is solved very easily by hooking it up to a home theater (I bought the package with the RTD317W home theater). I would definitely recommend.
tv is garbage will never buy another rca product again had the tv for 3 months started getting lines in the panel had some one come to the house to look at it and told me that the tv was unfix able. told me that they will have someone call for a replacement never called after a month i called oncorp left messages for 5 months never called back now the tv picture so bad cant even watch tv on it. wasted over 500 bucks on a tv. spend the money on a different brand DONT BUY THIS TV OR THIS BRAND
Bought the TV about a month or two ago. Excellent picture quality, crystal clear. All 4 HDMI work with no problems. I have my Direct TV and my Sony Blue Ray DVD player hooked up with HDMI and both work with no problems at all. Sound is average but it doesn't matter with me because I have a surround sound system with 4 speakers and a sub woofer and everything is very loud and clear with that. The menu system is very easy to use with this TV. Overall I am very pleased, great TV with great quality at a great price. Before I had this I had a Sony LED rear projection 46 inch which was about 12 inches thick. The picture is better on the RCA. I have also watched sports, Olympics, etc. and have no problems with any picture or motion quality or blue. I get a perfect picture no matter how fast paced the sports I am watching.
this was the second tv i ordered cause the first one was damaged in shipping, this tv also showed up with a pretty badly damaged box but luckily the tv still worked. Wal-mart should look into a new courrier service for shipping of the tv's. Very unhappy with the shipping.
Just picked up our TV last night, the picture is beautiful except for a light colored dot on the left hand side of the screen. Though it is small that is all I can focus on. Suggestions please? I have never ordered online before, now I know why.. The TV has a beautiful sleek look, and we got a great price, but I am afraid this might be the start of another problem. All I want for Christmas is a perfect picture on my 46 inch screen. I think the sound is ok, but have not gotten to watch movies on it yet. Would have given almost all 5's had it not been for one small dot! If you are having problems setting up, call your cable company and save yourself hours of frustration.
When I first turned on the set I was impressed by the picture. But then I started watching a Black and White movie and I noticed extremely uneven shading throughout the picture. I couldn't even concentrate on the film. When I happened to see a black screen while flipping through various options, I saw big blotches of clouds that covered about 50% of the screen. I was so disappointed. I did some research online and found some suggestions for the problem such as turning down the "backlight" as well as turning down the brightness. I went through the manual and could not find any information on turning down the "backlight", so I called RCA and a repairman is coming out in two days to look at the set. In the meantime I have been playing around with the settings, including watching on the power save option, and I think I've been able to diminish the intensity of the clouds. I would like to point out that when watching regular HDTV broadcasts the picture is absolutely terrific. The clouds don't effect it at all. At times the clarity is so brilliant that the picture almost seems 3D. I have noticed some jitteriness when there is fast motion on some programs. I chose this TV for the 120Hz which is supposed to correct the blurred motion issue, but I'm not sure whether that the problem is coming from the video source or the TV. The speakers are weak, but I have the sound hooked up to a Yamaha soundbar which is absolutely terrific.
All and all I am extremely torn about this TV. For everyday viewing it is great. Despite the problems, I don't think I will return it because the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
Purchased this TV couple of weeks ago. All the features but HDMI ports were working fine. Only 1 out of 4 HDMI ports was working and that too partially. The partial working one only was able to show picture but no Audio at all. I made sure that I am outputting the Audio output to TV set but still no results. But again its electronics you might get Faulty item as i got. Looking at previous review i bought it but got unlucky
It says its a 120hz but but mine only comes in at 60hz. Very blurry during any type of movement.
It also yells at me. The volume will be fine but then it will scream one of two words. Then go back to normal.
I bought this tv because I wanted to upgrade slightly in size as well as benefit from the led verses lcd energy savings. This tv uses less than half of the electricity that my 40" polaroid does. I am only using digital antennae reception, don't need cable or satellite, so several channels are either 720 up to 1080. The tv was extremely easy to set up and program, it basically leads you through all that during power up the first time, or you can go back and change things later if you like. The speakers are rear mounted, so the sound isn't directed to the viewer, so it seems without the attached sound system, the sound quality is poor. The picture quality seems to be on par with my lcd tv, guess I expected more at 120 hz refresh vs. my 60 hz. it replaced. All in all the tv price broke down for me to be like $459. for the tv and the balance for the sound system, which seems substandard, or I have it hooked up wrong. I'll have to double check my connections.
Picture is stunning and bright. People say the sound is bad but it's not. It's not theater-quality...but it isn't BAD by any stretch. The price ($509) is phenomenal. A similar TV costs over $700. I am thoroughly satisfied with this TV...the only thing to watch for now is how long it will last. I will come back and edit this review if the TV burns out sooner than expected (fingers crossed.) Let me tell you though, you WILL spend more money on Blu Ray discs because if you buy this TV, you'll be a picture-quality snob. Right now, this tv is ahead of the curve and it's hard to find anything that's in 1080p/HD other than blurays. Netflix isn't, other things aren't either. If you're upgrading from a CRT tv you will be surprised at the details you've never noticed about your favorite movies/shows. BUY THIS TV! You won't find a better deal

Today, former Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt, a "longtime adversary of the EPA," as the Washington Post put it, takes over the US Environmental Protection Agency. But he takes it over under the shadow of unprecedented opposition from US Senators, EPA employees and public interest groups.
Forty-six senators voted against his confirmation, a significantly higher number of "no" votes than any other EPA Administrator has received (many of whom have been approved with unanimous consent.) That's a big statement of concern about a president's nominee to head an agency that does more than any other to protect Americans from pollution.
The opposition was bi-partisan – Republican Senator Susan Collins of Maine voted against Pruitt, saying that Pruitt's "…actions leave me with considerable doubts about whether his vision for the EPA is consistent with the agency's critical mission to protect human health and the environment."
Democrats also showed a remarkable unity in opposing Pruitt, with just Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND) voting to approve Pruitt's confirmation. Considering how many Democrats are in states that voted for Trump, the cohesiveness is strong testament to how deeply runs the sense that he is unfit for the job.
That said, the record opposition, its bi-partisan nature and the Democratic unity isn't that surprising– because he's by far the worst ever pick to lead EPA.
