Bodypainting. http://www.bodypainting-festival.com/

I came across this browsing YouTube. Amazing the stuff you can find.

Apparently, its a festival moves through different parts of the world.

Singapore claims its open. I seriously doubt that. Morality again I doubt that.
I believe the government wants a "clean" city image to promote trade. So that people will invest.

Welcome to the Cyber-Mage website.

This is a record of a personal search and discovery of myself. In hopes of further bridging the gap of information and understanding, I hope that people would participate in this discovery process.

My journey covers 3 main areas, spiritual matters, health(medicine) and fitness. Without any of them, life is truly meaningless. That is why there are both feeds from favorite sites and personal opinions and summaries of things I've found interesting over the years. I've also added some technology (I am an engineer by training) and legal information (one of my later degrees is an LLB). Law is something we can't totally ignore as rules that we don't know about still applies to us.

Finally my views of various policy and statements by others. This is recorded as well for discussion and for me to remember how I was thinking. I've found that over the years somethings said can be profound but not realised and understood until much later.

Hence, its a diary of sorts. This site is always a progress of being built and upgraded. Please bear with it. Smile

Obesity May Reduce Brain Gray Matter In Postmenopausal Women

Posted Fri, 06/19/2009 - 18:00 by admin

Results from a small study of postmenopausal women suggest that obesity might relate to a reduced volume of gray matter in the brain. However, whether the results have relevance in a woman's day-to-day life is unclear. "A subset of women from the Pittsburgh Healthy Women Study (HWS) who had been followed for an average of 15 years was invited to participate in brain imaging studies," said lead author Isabella Soreca, M.D., an assistant professor at the University of Pittsburgh.

Roux-en-Y Weight Loss Surgery Raises Kidney Stone Risk

Posted Thu, 06/18/2009 - 18:00 by admin

The most popular type of gastric bypass surgery appears to nearly double the chance that a patient will develop kidney stones, despite earlier assumptions that it would not, Johns Hopkins doctors report in a new study. The overall risk, however, remains fairly small at about 8 percent. As rates of morbid obesity have climbed in recent years, so has the popularity of various weight-loss operations, with more than 200,000 patients expected to have one of these procedures this year.
