The art of the perfect chicken soup comes from hands-on experience and social interaction. If robots master that, what separates them from us?

The Jetsons

Everyone's coming over to watch the big game. You've got beer, a giant high-definition television, and a well-deserved reputation for serving wings hotter than Dante's eighth circle of hell. Unfortunately, you are pressed for time. Wouldn't it be great if a machine like Rosey from The Jetsons could quickly prepare them? Maybe you could even pass off the dish as your own!

Then again, maybe not. Would Rosey's version taste like yours, or would her rendition expose your duplicity? Could she cut the chicken into the right size parts and ensure your friends don't choke on bone chips? Would Rosey know when the chicken pieces hit the ideal state of crispiness without being raw inside? Most importantly, could she discern when the spice Rubicon was crossed? These questions all revolve around one issue: Can Rosey can acquire tacit knowledge?

Contemporary discussions of tacit knowledge owe a debt to Michael Polanyi, a scientist and philosopher who famously observed: "We know more than we can tell." Use chopsticks? Go mushrooming or fly-fishing? Know how to pick the right bottle of wine, or how to be a charming dinner guest who tells the right jokes and not mortify your host? These skills use tacit knowledge. It's what enables us to appreciate what something means, given context.

While we all possess lots of tacit knowledge and couldn't conduct our daily affairs without it, experts use it as their secret weapon. InBlink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking, Malcolm Gladwell described how experts rely on intuition. Without deliberating over formal decision-making procedures, they can look at a problem and immediately have the "aha" moment that reveals the solution. Although this ability is immensely powerful, it isn't magical or innate. After prolonged and committed experience, experts develop superior pattern-recognition ability that lets them see, at glance, how new situations resemble remembered ones.

Experts aren't unique in this regard. All humans require extensive hands-on experience or social interaction to develop tacit knowledge. As every cook knows, mechanically following a recipe will only take you so far. Nevertheless, Gary McMurray, chief of the Food Processing Division of Georgia Tech's Research Institute, believes robots will acquire the tacit knowledge needed to debone and butcher a chicken. While many of us had a parent -- or other mentor -- guide us toward the basic tacit knowledge required to cook, the secret sauce for his project is a 3-D imaging system that quickly measures and calculates the dimension of each individual chicken before the robot carves away. How can his "intelligent cutting" project lose? It has the support of custom algorithms underwritten by complex mathematical equations.

McMurray's team realizes they have to solve many adaptive challenges. After all, every chicken has a different muscle structure, different joint segments, and carries a different weight. Despite this complexity, an experienced human chicken processor can butcher 1,000 chickens an hour, immediately judging how and where to cut without wasting meat. And here's where the difference between person and machine becomes salient. Shannon Heath, spokesperson for the world's leading chicken processing equipment, Meyn Food Processing Technology BV, says that technology "can't quite match how closely a human can cut to the bone."

So far, McMurray's team has experienced success with the key technological components. Significant as this victory is, it remains a far cry from developing a fully integrated system, which, itself, wouldn't be the final step. Vangelis's Chariots of Fire musical score shouldn't play until the robot is rolled out of lab and into the real world, where new skills might be needed. Still, McMurray told us he's optimistic about the future and even is considering making commercial devices.

For the sake of argument, let's say McMurray is right and it is only a matter of time before technology cuts chickens with the same speed, dexterity and accuracy as humans. Indeed, glimpses of the future are already here. Think someone hand shredded your mozzarella? Nope, a machine did. China's got a series of noodle-bots that can hand-slice noodles into pots of boiling water, and the Japanese have used mechanic sushi makers for years. But will technology ever replicate the deft touch of China's best noodle pullers? Or, Jiro Ono, Japan's 85 year old, three-starred Michelin sushi master?

hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Diet and Weight Loss Plans announces the first prescription weight loss pill of it's kind. This prescription weight loss pill that contains Green Coffee Extract is the prescription diet pill of it's kind in the USA.

Birmingham, AL (PRWEB) October 09, 2012

hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Diet and Weight Loss Plans announces the first prescription weight loss pill of it's kind. This prescription weight loss pill that contains Green Coffee Extract is the prescription diet pill of it's kind in the USA.

hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Diet and Weight Loss Plans announced their unique prescription weight loss pills containing green coffee extract for fast weight loss. Green coffee bean is rich in chlorogenic acid, a polyphenol anti-oxidant which is also the active ingredient and its related compounds. It isnt present in commercial coffee as the roasting process breaks down chlorogenic acid. These weight loss drops from hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Diet and Weight Loss Plans is standardized to 50% chlorogenic acid. By inhibiting the release of G6P (glucose 6 phosphate, this extract reduce glycogenolysis in the liver (conversion of glycogen to glucose) and stabilizes blood sugar. As a result, lesser amounts of sugar are released into the blood stream, thereby helping people maintain the health blood sugar levels.

Additionally, these prescription weight loss pills boost fat mobilization by the liver especially while in ketosis to keep up with the energy requirements of the body, resulting in fast weight loss. hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Diet and Weight Loss Plans recommends a starting dose of 2 prescription weight loss pills a day, each containing 400 mg of green coffee extract. Clinial studies also showed that pills containing green coffee extract are extremely beneficial for patients with type II diabetes or insulin resistance as they could help them ketoadapt faster by shortening their Phase II.

According to an epidemiological study conducted in Italy, coffee has the greatest antioxidant capacity among the commonly consumed beverages. The effect of green coffee bean extract (GCBE) on fat accumulation and body weight in mice was assessed with the objective of investigating the effect of GCBE on mild obesity. These results suggested that caffeine was a suppressor of fat absorption, while chlorogenic acid was found to be partially involved in the suppressive effect of GCBE that resulted in the reduction of hepatic TG level. So, GCBE is possibly effective against weight gain and fat accumulation by inhibition of fat absorption and activation of fat metabolism in the liver, thereby resulting in effective and fast weight loss.

Recent research published in the Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity Journal about a 22-week crossover study to examine the efficacy and safety of a commercial green coffee extract product GCA at reducing weight and body mass in 16 overweight adults showed that GCA may be an effective nutraceutical in reducing weight in preobese adults, and may be an inexpensive means of preventing obesity in overweight adults. The study concluded that one promising nutraceutical is green coffee extract, which contains high concentrations of chlorogenic acids that are known to influence glucose and fat metabolism apart from offering other health benefits.

With adult weight gain and obesity becoming global problems, the additional problems of the cost as well as the potential side effects of prescription weight loss pills have led overweight and obese adults to try nutraceuticals that may aid fast weight loss. These affordable and effective prescription weight loss pills from hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Diet and Weight Loss Plans containing green coffee extract address this need and help dieters combat the aforementioned problems. When combined with their personalized physician managed and doctor designed weight loss diet, these prescription weight loss pills enhance the effectiveness of the program to promote fast weight loss.

Derry City have fitness doubts over Barry Molloy and Rory Patterson for Wednesday's FAI Cup semi-final replay against Shelbourne (20:00 BST).

Molloy was struggling with a thigh injury in the closing stages of Sunday's 1-1 draw at the Brandywell and could miss the Tolka Park rematch.

Patterson played his first game in some time as he lasted for an hour on Sunday but may not start in Dublin.

Stephen McLaughlin is another doubt but has a better chance of being involved.

If Molloy is ruled out, Ruaidhri Higgins may be drafted into central midfield while another option is to switch Patrick McEleney from the flank.

Barry McNamee represents a further option for Devine who was pleased with his team's second-half display at the weekend after the slow start which saw them conceding a fourth-minute goal.

"I felt we totally dominated the second half," Devine told BBC Radio Foyle.

"Our approach play in the second half was very good. We passed the ball very well and asked questions of their back-four. That's what we want again come Wednesday night."

Derry have already beaten Shels at Tolka Park this season and Devine says the prospect of the march "doesn't frighten me at all".

"We respect going away from home against good opposition and it's going to be a very difficult game.

Sioux Falls, SD (PRWEB) October 09, 2012

Diet Doc announces a 23-Day weight loss program that helps dieters lose weight fast with a modified hCG diet plan.

Diet Doc's modified hCG diet weight loss plan works to burn unwanted fat and has dieters losing up to 15 pounds in less than one month.

Diet Doc has created a weight loss plan that has dieters dropping unwanted pounds in less than one month with a modified version of the time-tested hCG diet. Originally created in the 1950s, the diet has proven throughout the years to be effective in fast weight loss. However, since the diet has been in the spotlight in recent years, it has been slammed by critics as having a dangerously low caloric intake. Diet Doc has modified the original version of the hCG diet plan to allow more calories as well as include essential vitamins and supplements. Founder and CEO of Diet Doc Julie Wright says weve taken the healthy advantages of the original hCG protocol and made it easier by using a personalized ketogenic diet plan that allows for a healthy amount of calories a day. All dieters on our program are also monitored throughout the program to ensure its effectiveness as well as safety.

Diet Docs 23-day hCG weight loss plan offers a customized diet plan complete with medical hCG treatments. The hCG comes in three forms: injections, drops or pills, all of which are pharmaceutical-grade and require a prescription from their on-site physician. The hCG injections are found to be most popular because they produce the fastest weight loss results. Other dieters prefer the hCG drops or pills which also come in a high dose but arent as easily absorbed into the body as injections, which go directly into the bloodstream. Whatever method any Diet Doc hCG dieter takes, these treatments will play a vital role in the weight loss program because they help mobilize stored fats that are then used for energy, creating fast weight loss results. Dieters also claim that the treatments suppress the appetite even enhance their mood according to Wright.

Diet Doc uses a ketogenic diet plan with the hCG weight loss program that consists of a healthy balance of lean proteins, health fats, green leafy vegetables, fibrous fruits as well as essential vitamins and supplements. The 23-day weight loss program aims to transform not only the the body but also eating habits in a short amount of time. Dieters report seeing dramatic weight loss in the first week of the diet which can also be party attributed to the restriction of starchy simple carbohydrates found in pastas and breads. Wright says our dieters make life-long dietary changes after we require them to cut out these unnecessary food groups and replace them with the essential ones. They really see a big difference in how they look and feel and dont want to go back to their old eating habits.

Diet Doc has recently started offering the hCG weight loss program as a telehealth weight loss program, making it available to anyone across the country via the internet or over the phone. In person consultations are no longer required and are even found to save most people time and money. Diet Docs Medical Director Dr. Rao says since weve started doing consultations over the phone or Skype, our dieters seem to be more inclined to stick to the diet plan because they hold more accountability than if they were to come into the clinic weekly. The telehealth program has the same format as the clinic program with weekly progress follow-up calls as well as full access to the Diet Doc medical staff.

Dear Dr. Gerhart: I just got into exercising (walking) and lowering the salt in my diet. I haven't lost any weight. How else can I track my progress?

Dear Reader: Congrats! I can tell you right now that any improvement you make in your diet and exercise will help you mentally and physically. But consistency is key.

Everyone always says, "It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle." However, many of us get discouraged when we don't see results on the scale. So you need a way to track your progress.

If you aren't seeing results on the scale, then perhaps your goal should be a certain number of steps taken each day or a certain number of calories eaten. Once you pick a goal (which your physician can help with), then you have to figure out the best way to stay on track.

There are three main suggestions I tell patients:

1. Join a group, such as a fitness or weight management group, and let them do the tracking.

2. Find a fun way to track it on your own with technology devices or phone applications.

3. Keep it simple. Choose one: pedometer or pencil and paper.

First, the groups. You have likely heard of Weight Watchers and Curves. Most gyms also have groups for goals such as strength, flexibility and nutrition. But if you aren't interested in shelling out money, consider joining a group of friends or co-workers for accountability.

For example, there may be a group challenge at your work, such as a "Biggest Losers" competition. Or try joining a class. Your insurance company may help pay for "wellness" classes or activities at local clinics or hospitals.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) UnitedHealth Group Inc. and the Louisiana Alliance of Boys & Girls Clubs are bringing a 12-month program to help obese and overweight children lose weight. The classes are only for families on the company's Medicaid plan in the New Orleans area.

The company's UnitedHealthcare unit says the program, called Join for Me, gets families involved in lifestyle and behavior changes to help children lose weight.

"Children who are overweight and obese often want to lose weight, but can't figure out how to do it," said Dr. Ann K. Logarbo, chief medical officer for UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Louisiana.

For obese and overweight children, losing weight can reduce the risk of physical and emotional health problems. Obese children are more likely to have high blood pressure, high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes, all of which are risk factors for cardiovascular disease.

In the program, an otherwise healthy child and a parent attend 16 weekly group sessions to learn how to eat better and get more active. At each group session, they get worksheets with topics and goals for a session at home. Those are followed by monthly maintenance sessions for up to eight months more.

Children are taught how to keep tabs on what they do, eat and weigh, and to limit screen time to two hours a day five days a week.

They're also taught a "Yes! and less" system to help their daily calorie count. Fruits, vegetables, lean meats and high-fiber foods are "Yes!" foods that they should concentrate on while limiting high-calorie, low-nutrition foods such as sweets, pizza, fried foods and sugary drinks to two servings a day.

A pilot program in Rhode Island was run through the YMCA. A report on that program, published in the journal Pediatrics, said it can be run by people who don't have experience in treating pediatric obesity, making widespread use possible.

The insurance company and alliance were holding a community forum on childhood obesity Tuesday morning at the New Orleans bionnovation Center.

Classes will be held at some Boys & Girls Clubs for families enrolled in a UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Louisiana Medicaid health plan. The company says it plans to use the program in some areas as part of preventive care for families who have its employer-provided health insurance or government-sponsored Medicaid managed care plans.
