Fight Genetic Obesity via Brisk Walk

By engaging to some comfertable exercise or an hour to light walk every day can halve the genes' effect.
Studies has shown that obesity is now one to those common health concerns in our modern society that is associated with a wide range of health and metabolic diseases that result in risks like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, some cancers and arthritis.

Those people who were found physically very active during study exhibited a lowered effect of the gene as compared to those who had sedentary lifestyle (0.08 versus 0.15 kg/m2).

Robotic Bird


Our engineering group has achieved incredible heights by designing this magnificent flying machine. The challenge underlying this invention was minimizing the weight of the robotic bird while maximizing lift from its flapping winds. 
This robotic seagull is 1m in length and weigh even less than ½kg with boasts a 2-meter wingspan. 
  
If we start comparing with real bird, the well known European herring gull is just little over ½ m in length with a wingspan up to one and a half meters and weighs roughly 1kg.
