many of them. There are over 60,000 Indian doc-
tors working in the National Health Services besides
nearly 20,000 nurses, majority from the South In-
dian state of Kerala.
The Brexit victory has polarized the country and it
will make the situation worse at public and work
places. The campaign crossed the decency at various
stages and it fell when the UKIP leader unveiled the
controversial poster with Syrian refugees.
For the average voter, immigration was the main is-
sue. Except London, Scotland and Northern Ireland,
the issue played a crucial factor in their decisions.
That makes every one of us vulnerable. The issue
may be on Eastern Europeans, but next will be us.
The Black and Ethnic Minority Community have a
reason to worry. When the campaigns were hijacked
by right-wing politicians and their followers, the fu-
ture is tense for British Asians.
They are ignoring the fact that thousands of doc-
tors from India are shoring up the ailing health ser-
vices; IT experts from India are running the country
smoothly and skilled and unskilled workers from
Eastern Europe are running the factories to meet
their deadlines and targets. If things get worsen, they
will blame you.
The Brexit camp’s win in the referendum is the vic-
tory of feelings over facts. The Brexit camp won on
three factors -- Immigration, the 350 million pound
weekly fee to the EU club and the so-called Brussels
Bureaucracy.

Wearable device that counts your bites can

Cameron is a victim of his own success and passion
to fulfil promises. Some are still wondering why he
called the referendum in the first place. His plan to
end his party’s Europe issue once and for all back-
fired on a scale of historic proportions.
This is the time to take stock of the situation. Nobody
can ignore the Brexit camp’s agenda. One agrees with
the complaint that EU is a remote, mammoth insti-
tution without any sense of compassion to set rules,
laws and regulations. They were wrong on uncon-
trolled immigration. But they were not listening. If
you are not listening, you have to pay the price. That
is what we are seeing in Britain now.

New York:
Wearable devices that allow users to
keep track of the number of bites during a meal can
help them eat less and reduce body weight, says a
study.
“It was found that the presence of bite count feedback
led to a reduction in overall consumption. This find-
ing is consistent with current literature that shows
feedback on consumption leads people to consume
less,” explained Phillip Jasper from Clemson Univer-
sity in South Carolina, US.
In one of the experiments, some participants were
outfitted with bite count feedback devices and given
either a small or large plate.
The group that received bite count feedback signifi-
cantly reduced their intake regardless of plate size,
although, those given larger plates still consumed
more than those given smaller plates.
“We want people to be mindful of what they’re do-
ing. That’s what’s really important. We want them to
be mindful of their eating, and bite count feedback is
a way to keep people mindful of their eating behav-
iours,” Jasper said.
Knowing the number of bites is much less abstract
than knowing the number of calories. “Self-monitor-
ing is one of the cornerstones of successful weight
loss,” Jasper said.
“By giving people bite count feedback, which is a
good indicator for energy intake, they know
how much they’ve had to eat or drink, they know
their intake so they can better adjust their energy ex-
penditure behaviors,” he noted.
Seoul (IANS) India’s wait for a coveted Nuclear Sup-
pliers Group (NSG) membership continues even af-
ter eight years of lobbying, as China foiled its latest
bid in Seoul on the grounds that New Delhi has not
signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
With strong support from the US, Argentina, Britain,
Italy, Mexico, France, Russia and host South Korea,
India was seeking NPT concessions from the group-
ing on the same grounds that it had a clean non- pro-
liferation record.
But China virtually stonewalled its chances and
raised the pitch that other non-NPT signatories, in-
cluding Pakistan, will also seek the concession.
