loo or dunny - most of us take the humble toilet for granted. But in many parts of the world the absence of sanitary waste disposal is not just inconvenient, it can cause deadly diseases such as hepatitis, dysentery, trachoma, typhoid and cholera. Enter Marc Deshusses, a Duke University environmental engineer who has envisioned an innovative yet simple waste disposal system designed specifically for Third World countries that can be constructed from everyday items. Now, as part of a broad ranging project funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Deshusses has received $100,000 to perfect and test the system in the laboratory before producing a prototype to field-test in 18 months time. <a href="/web/20111110111205/http://www.gizmag.com/gates-foundation-composting-toilet-duke-university/20422/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20111110111205/http://www.gizmag.com/health/" style="float: left; ">HEALTH AND WELLBEING</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111110111205/http://www.gizmag.com/jawbone-up-activity-monitor/20401/">Jawbone UP tracks activity, sleep and diet for improved health</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111110111205/http://www.gizmag.com/author/andrea-powell/">Andrea Powell</a></p> <p><em>22:04 November 6, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20111110111205im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111110111205/http://www.gizmag.com/jawbone-up-activity-monitor/20401/#comments">2 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="/web/20111110111205im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111110111205/http://www.gizmag.com/jawbone-up-activity-monitor/20401/picture/146659/">7 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111110111205/http://www.gizmag.com/jawbone-up-activity-monitor/20401/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111110111205im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/jawboneupisagroovymonitoringbangle.jpg" title="Jawbone UP health and activity monitor" alt="Jawbone UP health and activity monitor"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Jawbone has expanded its product offerings beyond Bluetooth headsets and <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20111110111205/http://www.gizmag.com/jawbone-jambox-small-size-big-sound/17230/" target="_blank">portable speakers</a> with the release of UP - a stylish, wrist-worn monitor that tracks your activity, sleep and nutrition with the aim of inspiring you to make healthier lifestyle choices. <a href="/web/20111110111205/http://www.gizmag.com/jawbone-up-activity-monitor/20401/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20111110111205/http://www.gizmag.com/health/" style="float: left; ">HEALTH AND WELLBEING</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111110111205/http://www.gizmag.com/aging-process-enzyme-identified/20359/">Researchers identify enzyme that holds key to living longer through calorie restriction</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111110111205/http://www.gizmag.com/author/darren-quick/">Darren Quick</a></p> <p><em>00:09 November 2, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20111110111205im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111110111205/http://www.gizmag.com/aging-process-enzyme-identified/20359/#comments">4 Comments</a> </p> <p></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111110111205/http://www.gizmag.com/aging-process-enzyme-identified/20359/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111110111205im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/caloriesplus-1.jpg" title="Restricting calorie intake has been shown to delay the aging process and the enzyme Prx1 h..." alt="Restricting calorie intake has been shown to delay the aging process and the enzyme Prx1 h..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Studies have shown that restricting the intake of calories without reducing the intake of vitamins and minerals slows the sign of aging process in a wide range of animals including monkeys, rats and fish, and even some fungi.

Measurements made by the app are said to be as accurate as those obtained using standard medical monitors. <a href="/web/20111110111205/http://www.gizmag.com/app-measures-vital-signs/20200/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20111110111205/http://www.gizmag.com/health/" style="float: left; ">HEALTH AND WELLBEING</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111110111205/http://www.gizmag.com/thermal-spa-evaporation-walls/19780/">Thermal spa features 20 foot-high evaporation walls </a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111110111205/http://www.gizmag.com/author/bridget-borgobello/">Bridget Borgobello</a></p> <p><em>13:01 September 9, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p></p> <p><img src="/web/20111110111205im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111110111205/http://www.gizmag.com/thermal-spa-evaporation-walls/19780/picture/142009/">15 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111110111205/http://www.gizmag.com/thermal-spa-evaporation-walls/19780/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111110111205im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/solepark-37.jpg" title="The wooden structure of Solepark's Sole Arena resembles a classic Swedish bath house (imag..." alt="The wooden structure of Solepark's Sole Arena resembles a classic Swedish bath house (imag..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>The town of Bad Essen in Northern Germany has long been the home of salt works facilities, where in the early 1900's it was discovered that the salt in the surrounding air proved to be a natural remedy for many respiratory illnesses.

Frequently going to get one’s blood pressure measured at a pharmacy or clinic, however, can be a hassle. Well, to paraphrase an advertising slogan, “there’s an app for that” – along with a device. The iHealth Blood Pressure Monitoring System for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad consists of a blood pressure arm cuff wired to a portable dock, along with the free iHealth app, which users run on their chosen iDevice to keep track of their systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate. They will also soon be able to throw their weight data into the mix, with the iHealth Scale. <a href="/web/20111110111205/http://www.gizmag.com/ihealth-blood-pressure-and-weight-tracking/19729/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="small" href="/web/20111110111205/http://www.gizmag.com/health/" style="float: left; ">HEALTH AND WELLBEING</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20111110111205/http://www.gizmag.com/nordic-semiconductor-dayton-bluetooth-4-heart-rate-monitor/18880/">World's first Bluetooth 4.0 heart rate monitor will catalyze new genre of smartphone apps</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20111110111205/http://www.gizmag.com/author/jack-martin/">Jack Martin</a></p> <p><em>23:13 June 9, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="/web/20111110111205im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111110111205/http://www.gizmag.com/nordic-semiconductor-dayton-bluetooth-4-heart-rate-monitor/18880/#comments">2 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="/web/20111110111205im_/http://www.gizmag.com/images/icons/splashyIcons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20111110111205/http://www.gizmag.com/nordic-semiconductor-dayton-bluetooth-4-heart-rate-monitor/18880/picture/135708/">4 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20111110111205/http://www.gizmag.com/nordic-semiconductor-dayton-bluetooth-4-heart-rate-monitor/18880/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20111110111205im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/nordic-semiconductor-dayton-low-energy-bluetooth-40-heart-rate-monitor.jpg" title="The entire belt weighs just 46 grams" alt="The entire belt weighs just 46 grams"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>OEM/ODM specialist Dayton Industrial is set to commence volume production of a low energy Bluetooth 4.0 heart-rate chest belt using Nordic Semiconductor's new µBlue nRF8001 chip.
