Weight Loss Clinic In Austin

Austin TX Weight Loss Clinic: Announces Contest Winner

Austin TX weight loss clinic, Austin Institute of Bariatrics and Laparoscopy (AIBL), held contest to give away a life changing single incision lap band surgery to contest winner, Darlene Humphrey.

Austin, TX 78759 (ePressReleases.org) Feb 27, 2010 - A most prominent and successful weight loss clinic in Austin, TX, Austin Institute of Bariatrics and laparoscopy (AIBL) conducts an interactive and revealing contest to give away a life changing lap band surgery to the lucky winner. The weight loss surgery was the culmination of this exciting contest that began last October when AIBL invited those who wanted to change their lives through bariatric surgery to submit their names for eligibility.

The contestant selection started with a radio campaign that lasted approximately six weeks and initially attracted more than 400 candidates who were willing to come in for a consultation regarding their medical qualifications. These candidates were narrowed down to a dozen semi-finalists who were required to write an essay explaining their individual weight loss goals, why they should have weight loss surgery and how it would transform their life. The contest was then opened up to Web based voting on each story until five contestants were left with the final name chosen randomly. "This was a great opportunity to give something back and help someone change their life with weight loss surgery which they might not have had access to otherwise," said Dr. Ganta, surgeon at Austin Institute of Bariatrics.

The winner of the highly sought after lap band surgery, Darlene Humphrey, is a 49-year-old school teacher from Round Rock, Texas. Typically patients qualify for weight loss surgery if they have a body mass index of 40 or above, or as low as 35 with comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes or hypertension. Obesity, especially morbid obesity, is associated with a number of chronic conditions such as sleep apnea, heart disease, higher rates of some cancers, diabetes and more. Darlene has been trying to lose weight for 17 years and is hoping to achieve enough weight loss through the procedure to help her overcome diabetes and hypertension.

Lap band surgery is performed by placing a gastric band at the top of the stomach, creating a smaller pouch that fills with food quickly during a meal. The band slows the passage of food from the pouch to the lower part of the stomach. The smaller pouch allows patients feel fuller much faster than prior to the procedure and as a result they eat much less and begin losing weight. Patients lives can be transformed and weight loss goals can be met as indicated by some studies have shown that patients lose as much weight with this procedure as they do with full gastric bypass surgery.

Austin Institute of Bariatrics weight loss clinic in Austin TX has also become a national training point for other bariatric surgeons who want to learn the pioneering technique developed by Dr. Sashi Ganta. He has been the leading edge of lap band surgery using the trans-umbilical method of Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery (SILS), which leaves no visible scar on patients. Austin bariatric surgeon, Dr. Ganta is one of the most experienced weight loss surgeons in Texas and has been performing bariatric surgery since 2001. After completing medical school in India, he underwent extensive surgical training in England and Scotland before completing his surgical residency at New York Medical College and a fellowship at Yale University in advanced laparoscopic surgery. He has been training other surgeons for years in laparoscopic techniques and helped develop a weight loss surgery program in Illinois before moving to Austin.

English Language School London

Nurture Language Skills In An English Language School

The bright lights of capital city London undoubtedly make for a fascinating place to embark on English language learning.

London, UK (ePressReleases.org) Feb 24, 2010 - However, in order to make the most of London's rich culture, a nurturing learning environment is necessary. UIC (United International College) offers just this, as a welcoming, open and lively school in the heart of London.

Exploring another culture is an excellent way to practise language skills, and with so much to see and do in London students will not be short of opportunities. However, UIC recognises that many students learning English in London will feel the pressures of living in a foreign city, and may need a structured social programme as they settle in. UIC offers regular events with something for everyone, whether it is a museum visit, a football match or a trip to the pub. There are even day trips to famous sights such as Stonehenge for students wishing to explore British culture. As students being to settle into London life, they will find plenty of places to visit, with UIC only a few minutes from Oxford Circus tube station, and a short walk away from some of London's most famous sights.

This English Language School in London provides a friendly environment with students from more than 50 countries - great for meeting new people. There are also British students who study one of the many foreign languages taught at UIC. These students are often keen to participate in language exchanges, providing an excellent opportunity for foreign students to learn more about British culture.

However long students opt to stay in London, UIC realises that living away from home is not easy. Therefore the school does everything it can to help students settle in, including a welcome talk to introduce new students to the college and London, and staff can even arrange accommodation (either with a family or in residences) and meet students at the airport. A further help to students are the staff who speak a variety of languages and are happy to be of assistance to students.

UIC London: UIC is a popular college, attracting over 300 students in the summer months, and becoming a bit quieter in winter with about 120. There are also around 250 young people in the summer who stay in the residential centres, as well as 300 people who attend UIC for foreign language lessons. The British Council accredits UIC, it is a member of English UK and it is on the UK Border Agency's list of sponsors. In addition UIC employs only qualified and experienced teachers, many of whom have taught abroad. Students come from a range of backgrounds and the average age is 22, thus UIC takes care to provide a nurturing environment that will enhance students' learning experiences.

Barbeque United Kingdom

Don't Let The Seasons Limit Your Barbeque Usage

Regardless of whether it's hot or cold outside, it's the perfect time of the year for a BBQ.

Brighton, United Kingdom (ePressReleases.org) Feb 19, 2010 - Don't let winter limit the possibilities for entertaining guests while preparing a delicious barbeque spread on the world's first hands-free barbecue. The BarbeSkew is the answer for year-round preparation of healthy and tasty barbeques.

Despite the cold, winter is not necessarily the time to force your BBQ into its annual hibernation in the garage. In fact, the colder months are a perfect time to keep on barbecuing and enjoying the company of your friends and some good grub. Invite your guests around to enjoy the wonders of a winter night, with a bonfire, some blankets and a few warming drinks. Alternately, invest in a quality BBQ umbrella and send the BBQ chef out to work wonders while the hungry hoards wait inside - either way you don't need to forget about that great taste of a traditional barbeque when it's cold out!

Regardless of your preferred barbeque season, there is an even better way to cook your meat and vegetables thanks to the BarbeSkew. An innovative new BBQ design, the BarbeSkew is a world-first in that it automatically rotates the food to ensure that it is cooked evenly without charring. Inspired by the style of BBQ popular throughout the Mediterranean, the BarbeSkew brings a taste of southern sunshine into your yard - no matter the weather. The rotation process means that chicken and pork are cooked more thoroughly, with that traditional mouth-watering barbeque flavour of meat cooked to perfection.

About The BarbeSkew Company: Taking its name from BARBEque and SKEWer, the BarbeSkew mixes a traditional BBQ with a spit roast. As opposed to a grill above the flames, the BarbeSkew BBQ automatically slowly rotates the food on skewers ensuring it is cooked thoroughly without burning. Fish and burgers are also able to be cooked on the BarbeSkew by placing them in a rotating cage. Founder and creator Ed Wray was inspired after tasting the difference of meat cooked on a Greek Cypriot BBQ with rotating skewers, and from this unassuming origin a world-first was created. This barbeque design has been praised on the BBC2 television series Dragons' Den and the company has won the HSBC Start-Up Stars Award for the Southern Region in 2008, and was voted best new product at GLEE 2007, one of Europe's largest trade events for garden, pets and leisure. BarbeSkew BBQs are available to purchase in charcoal or gas formats online or from quality retailers such as Harrods and UK garden centers like Burston, Shoots and Wyevale.

Barbeque Gas

Making A Tasty And Successful BBQ All The Easier

It's a simple equation, and one that's been pursued for as long as the two have existed, but why is it so difficult to cook a successful barbeque time after time?

Brighton, UK (ePressReleases.org) Feb 02, 2010 - The revolutionary new design of the BarbeSkew, an inspired combination of BARBEque and SKEWers, ensures that everyone from the BBQ novice to the seasoned pro will now be able to cook even better meat and vegetables, making entertaining and cleaning up afterwards a breeze.

Differing from the run-of-the-mill barbeques by the rotating skewer system, the BarbeSkew is the world's first "hands-free" barbeque, adapting a traditional Greek Cypriot design to a modern all-purpose BBQ unit. For a better tasting barbeque, BarbeSkew is ahead of the rest. The rotation system ensures that meat is cooked through to perfection and nothing burns - so basically you're left with well-cooked meat without the pink bits on the inside or the burnt black bits on the outside. First introduced in 2008, the BarbeSkew quickly seized the market and dominated this niche in 2009, cementing this market-leader position with the further top-of-the-range releases, including a half size and half price (charcoal) BarbeSkew II model. The original releases consisted of charcoal and gas models catered for the preparation of healthy and tasty meats, especially pork and chicken. With a whole range of inspired new food preparation units recently created for the kitchen, there's no reason why we shouldn't benefit from professional-touch developments when it comes to backyard BBQ cooking.

Ed Wray, the creator and founder of the BarbeSkew, credits the idea to an instance of eating barbecued food at a party. Tired of sampling poorly prepared food, he decided to design a BBQ model that would make bad barbeques a thing of the past. The BarbeSkew, he says, 'not only prepares food properly but the chef can have a drink and chat to guests without worrying about constantly turning food over. And you can cook food in all weathers by closing the lid.' The difference between a BarbeSkew and an inferior model of BBQ is that 'on a traditional barbecue, the food is placed on the grill - it burns. It is turned over - it burns. And then it is taken off the grill - uncooked. And what are you left with? Burnt uncooked food.' Better for health and better for the BBQ gourmands amongst us, the BarbeSkew is the BBQ of the future.

About BarbeSkew: The world's first hands-free barbeque , the BarbeSkew creatively combines a traditional grill barbeque with a spit roast, cooking meat more thoroughly, tastily and healthily. BarbeSkews are designed to ensure that the food is cooked evenly without charring and still with that delicious taste that we've come to associate with unforgettable barbeques . BarbeSkews feature a charcoal tray that lowers and raises using a handle that gives ultimate heat control, nine small kebab skewers and three large ones, a chrome cage to cook steaks or fish to perfection, and an easy-clean removable charcoal / fat tray.
