How acupuncture works

Posted: 22 Aug 2011 09:50 PM PDT

The electrical engineering department of Columbia University and the medicine faculty of the University of Hong Kong (HKU) have collaborated on a study that proves how acupuncture works.

Professor Edward Yang of Columbia, acupuncture specialist Dr. Li Geng and former HKU medicine faculty dean Professor Lam Shiu-kum spearheaded the eight-year study, which shows that acupuncture works by stimulating the production of endorphins in the area where acupuncture is administered.

The study was published in the "European Journal of Physiology" in June. Researchers were in Hong Kong yesterday to discuss their work.

Offbeat amenities at 5 Mumbai business hotels

Posted: 22 Aug 2011 07:59 PM PDT

Hotels around the world are making efforts to attract business travelers.

At Aloft hotels in the United States and Citizen M in Europe, guests can register at staffed kiosks, not unlike the e-ticket dispensers at airports. The Peninsula Beverly Hills lets guests order food and drink from a mobile menu while traveling from the airport to the hotel.
