Japanese men?s favourite height, weight and bust size

By Ken Y-N ( April 1, 2013 at 00:02) ? Filed under Polls, Rankings

goo Ranking recently took a look at the female body shapes that men like.

Demographics

Over the 6th and 7th of March 2013 1,083 members of the goo Research monitor group completed a private internet-based questionnaire. 56.7% of the sample were femle, 11.6% in their teens, 15.0% in their twenties, 24.9% in their thirties, 24.7% in their forties, 12.7% in their fifties, and 11.1% aged sixty or older. Note that the score in the results refers to the relative number of votes for each option, not a percentage of the total sample. This question was for the men only.

I am surprised that huge breasts appear lower down than small ones! My wife has a theory that tall foreign men prefer short Japanese women, although I wonder if it is just because we tend to remember the height mismatches and forget the more size-compatable couples?

Note that for weight, the four categories in ascending size are slim, average, well built, and fat. The other two statistics should be self-explanatory.

Eva Mendes Needs To Stare At Ryan Gosling's Face More

Let's be honest: We make a point of looking at Ryan Gosling as much as possible. Whether he's on the red carpet, the big screen or sitting right in front of us, it's easy to get lost staring at his handsome face. That's why we've noticed that Gosling's character in The Place Beyond The Pines has a dagger tattoo dripping a drop of blood right below his left eye.

White House to release budget plan on April 10

By Martyn Herman LONDON, March 28 (Reuters) - Whether by design, necessity, self-interest or because of all three, nurturing youngsters has become fashionable for England's elite with no expense spared in the hunt for the new Wayne Rooney or Steven Gerrard. The length and breadth of the country, scouts from top clubs are hoovering up promising footballers barely old enough to tie their bootlaces in a bid to unearth the 30 million pounds ($45.40 million) treasures of the future. ...

Trees used to create recyclable, efficient solar cell

Mar. 26, 2013 ? Solar cells are just like leaves, capturing the sunlight and turning it into energy. It's fitting that they can now be made partially from trees.

Georgia Institute of Technology and Purdue University researchers have developed efficient solar cells using natural substrates derived from plants such as trees. Just as importantly, by fabricating them on cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) substrates, the solar cells can be quickly recycled in water at the end of their lifecycle.

The technology is published in the journal Scientific Reports, the latest open-access journal from the Nature Publishing Group.

The researchers report that the organic solar cells reach a power conversion efficiency of 2.7 percent, an unprecedented figure for cells on substrates derived from renewable raw materials. The CNC substrates on which the solar cells are fabricated are optically transparent, enabling light to pass through them before being absorbed by a very thin layer of an organic semiconductor. During the recycling process, the solar cells are simply immersed in water at room temperature. Within only minutes, the CNC substrate dissolves and the solar cell can be separated easily into its major components.

Georgia Tech College of Engineering Professor Bernard Kippelen led the study and says his team's project opens the door for a truly recyclable, sustainable and renewable solar cell technology.

"The development and performance of organic substrates in solar technology continues to improve, providing engineers with a good indication of future applications," said Kippelen, who is also the director of Georgia Tech's Center for Organic Photonics and Electronics (COPE). "But organic solar cells must be recyclable. Otherwise we are simply solving one problem, less dependence on fossil fuels, while creating another, a technology that produces energy from renewable sources but is not disposable at the end of its lifecycle."

To date, organic solar cells have been typically fabricated on glass or plastic. Neither is easily recyclable, and petroleum-based substrates are not very eco-friendly. For instance, if cells fabricated on glass were to break during manufacturing or installation, the useless materials would be difficult to dispose of. Paper substrates are better for the environment, but have shown limited performance because of high surface roughness or porosity. However, cellulose nanomaterials made from wood are green, renewable and sustainable. The substrates have a low surface roughness of only about two nanometers.

"Our next steps will be to work toward improving the power conversion efficiency over 10 percent, levels similar to solar cells fabricated on glass or petroleum-based substrates," said Kippelen. The group plans to achieve this by optimizing the optical properties of the solar cell's electrode.

Purdue School of Materials Engineering associate professor Jeffrey Youngblood collaborated with Kippelen on the research.

A provisional patent on the technology has been filed with the U.S. Patent Office.

There's also another positive impact of using natural products to create cellulose nanomaterials. The nation's forest product industry projects that tens of millions of tons of them could be produced once large-scale production begins, potentially in the next five years.

The research is the latest project by COPE, which studies the use and development of printed electronics. Last year the center created the first-ever completely plastic solar cell.

This research was funded in part through the Center for Interface Science: Solar Electric Materials, an Energy Frontier Research Center funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of Basic Energy Sciences under Award Number DE-SC0001084 (Y.Z., J.S., C.F., A.D.), by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (Grant No. FA9550-09-1-0418) (J.

Funding for CNC substrate processing was provided by USDA-Forest Service (Grant No. 11-JV-11111129-118) (R.J.M., J.P.Y., J.L.). The authors thank Rick Reiner and Alan Rudie from the U.S. Forest Service- Forest Products Laboratory (FPL) for providing CNC materials.

Achieving A Flat Belly | eSHAPE

A flat belly represents strong core muscles, good posture, healthy balanced food choices, and a desirable percentage of body fat. All these are signs of optimal muscular strength, muscle endurance, and body composition.

?

They contribute to perfect overall health, fitness levels, and a healthy lifestyle. Apart from these health related issues, a flat belly is also a desirable attribute for improving your physical appearance.

A flat belly is indicative of a healthy percentage of fat in the body. A person?s body weight consists of body fat and lean body tissue. A healthy body fat percentage in women is 18 to 25%, while that in men is 8 to 15%.

Excess fat usually tends to accumulate in the abdominal area, leading to increased health risks, such as heart disease and diabetes. A flat belly also enhances your body posture and alignment.

A healthy alignment places less pressure on connective tissues and muscles around the joints, especially in the spinal region. A protruding belly causes curvature in the lower spine area, thus contributing to lower back pain and muscle fatigue.

Some people think that going to bed immediately after having a meal can cause tummy bulge. But this is not the only reason for having a fat belly. There may be several other reasons too:

Shocked? Most experts suggest drinking as much water as you can. But recent studies have revealed that drinking water before and during food can lead to belly bulge. The water you drink during this time remains in your stomach with food for several hours, causing belly stretch.

Certain foods such as refined wheat products and polished white rice are nothing but carbohydrates. Extra carbohydrates stored in your body turn into fat, which usually accumulates on your stomach.

If you eat your dinner after 10pm and then sleep immediately, then there are no chances of your calories being burnt, probably due to lack of any physical activity. Most of the calories that you consume with dinner turn into fat.

Development of computers, Internet and automated tools have minimized the physical exercise we should do daily. Shopping, banking, booking tickets and almost everything else can be done from our own PC at home.

We can reach the 11^th floor in a lift or escalator, and we do not go to the nearby grocery store without a car. So, there is no need to step out of the house, as everything can be done from the comfort of our home. So, there is lack of physical exercise in our daily routine, which ultimately leads to a fat belly.

The food that you eat has an important role to play in leaning out that midsection. If you also long to have a flat belly, here are a few sure-shot flat belly diet tips:

If you want to shed that belly bulge, you need to take your food consumption seriously. First of all, try to give up all calorie rich foods, such as fat and sugar. Also, cut out high calorie drinks such as alcohol, soda and sweet beverages like juice and sweet tea. Avoid fatty meats, dairy products and fried foods such as sausages, ribeye steaks, sugary foods, potato chips, candies, granola bars and cereals.

Most people believe that starving yourself or limiting your food intake can help in having a flat belly. But the fact is that if your body enters the starvation mode, it starts storing more fat than usual. So, instead of having 3 large meals in a day, try to eat every 2-3 hours. This keeps your metabolism high, burning a lot of fat from your midsection.

Sodium is a major contributor of bloating. So, keep a watch on your sodium intake. Ideally, you should bring your sodium intake down to 2400mg per day, no more. To minimize sodium intake, avoid processed and packaged foods, and limit visits to restaurants. In order to find the sodium content in a food, read its label carefully or simply find it online.

Once you know which foods you should avoid to have a flat belly, here is a list of foods that you should eat, as these can actually help in shedding belly bulge:

Eating eggs in breakfast can increase your metabolism and you may be able to burn 100 more calories per day.

Green tea is rich in powerful antioxidants, known as catechins, which are helpful in cleansing the system and increasing metabolism.

Its acidity can slow down your digestion and accelerate weight loss. If your food gets digested slowly, you feel fuller for longer, thereby decreasing your food intake.

This high potency berry is full of nutrients and antioxidants, which are helpful in increasing metabolism, suppressing cravings for snacks and removing excess waste and toxins from the body. Other berries like blackberries and blueberries are also equally helpful.

Rich in mono-unsaturated fats, these are specifically helpful in burning belly fat, and reducing digestive issues and bloating.

Low in fat and calories, the probiotic nature of yogurt is helpful in bolstering your digestion. When taken in combination with other low calorie foods it can help in achieving a flat belly fast.

Natural whole grains have slow-released complex carbs which are helpful in shedding that belly fat.

Highly rich in complex and starchy carbs, oatmeal is helpful in burning fat quickly. It remains in your stomach for several hours, constantly giving you a feeling of fullness.

It is a super-grain which has manganese, copper, fiber, magnesium and nine essential amino acids.

Low in calories and rich in nutrients and antioxidants, this low glycemic food can help in burning belly fat fast.

Dieting alone may not be as effective if you do not incorporate a flat belly exercise program into your routine. Some of the best and most effective flat belly exercises include:

Lie facing up on a mat, place hands behind your head and support it with your fingers. Bring knees towards the chest and lift your shoulder blades without pulling the neck. Straighten one leg, rotate to left and bring the right elbow towards your left knee. Switch sides and continue changing sides in pedaling like motion.

Captain?s chair is a chair like rack having padded arms. Stand on this chair and hold the handholds. Press back against its pad and contract your abs to raise your legs. Lift knees towards the chest, without arching the back or swinging up the legs.

exercising with a personal trainer

Lie on your back on an exercise ball. Place your arms behind the head or cross them over your chest. Contract abs while lifting your body off the ball and pulling your ribcage bottom down towards the hips. Try to keep the exercise ball stable while curling up.

On average, a person can flatten his or her stomach within a matter of weeks. All you have to do is to control your calorie intake, decrease fat consumption and increase your physical exercise level.
