Cosby was experiencing the kind

A new biography described his
life and accomplishments. A standup comedy special on Netflix,
commemorating his 77th birthday,

Less than 24 hours earlier, Netflix

and Queen Latifahs daytime talk

Mr. Cosbys lawyers have vigorously denied the accusations in recent days, and he has never faced

Modi said the two countries had agreed to

Suva: India sought to "renew an old relationship" with Fiji and forge closer ties with
small South Pacific island nations as Prime
Minister Narendra Modi announced steps to
boost closer ties with the geo-strategically
important region.
Modi became the second Indian prime
minister in 33 years - after Indira Gandhi - to
visit the Fijian capital Suva.
He later departed for home, ending a 10day tour that earlier took him to Myanmar
and Australia.
The Fiji visit underlined the growing geostrategic importance of the 14 South Pacific
islands that lie at the centre of a key maritime route rich in resources. The islands dot
the ocean east of Australia, over 11,500 km
from India.
The Fiji government accorded Modi a ceremonial welcome. Prime Minister Voreqe
Bainimarama received him at the airport.
Modi's visit comes ahead of Chinese
President Xi Jinping's three-day trip to Fiji
from Friday. China has been busy forging
close relations with the island nations and
has set up diplomatic missions in almost all
the islands. The 14 islands, although small,
have a vote each in international fora. They
hold strategic weight for New Delhi as it
seeks to increasingly play a larger international role. Modi held talks with Prime
Minister Bainimarama, presided over the
signing of three MoUs, addressed the Fijian
parliament, becoming the first foreign leader
to do so, attended the first India-South

Modi said India and Fiji had many
shared values, and it was the responsibility of both sides to strengthen these values.
Ethnic Indians comprise 37 percent of
Fiji's population of nearly 900,000. Most
of them are descendants of indentured
laborers who were brought in by British
rulers from India between 1879 and 1916
to work in the country's sugarcane plantations.
Observing that Fiji had chosen the path
of democracy to move forward, the prime
minister said this had set an example that
would exert a positive influence in the
wider Pacific region as well.

Tips to ward off holiday heartburn Holiday gift ideas for the health conscious
ights, music, family, boughs of
holly -- the holidays are known
for many pleasant sights and
sensations. Unfortunately, seasonal
stress, odd schedules and overindulgence in rich foods can mean an upset
stomach, heartburn and indigestion for
some celebrants.
Take steps to make the holidays
more pleasant on your stomach:
Seek balance: Eating a balanced
diet is a key factor in preventing indigestion, constipation and other digestive problems, but accomplishing this
goal may be a bit trickier during the
holiday party season.
Drink plenty of water, hit the veggie
tray before the cheese tray, and be sure
to incorporate fruit, vegetables, lean
meats, whole grains and low-fat dairy
into your other, less festive meals.
Enjoy slowly: With so many terrific
foods on the menu, why rush? Enjoy
meals slowly. Youll be more likely to
practice portion control this way.
Additionally, digestion will be easier if
you dont make your body process too
much at once.
Reduce stress: Stress can manifest
itself through the digestive system in
the form of heartburn. So avoid letting
the holidays become an added source of
stress. Carve out a few moments daily
throughout the season to relax.
Cook smart: Counteract the effects
mericans have a lot on their minds during the holiday season, and the stress of
ballooning budgets and crowded calendars can be enough to affect almost anyones
well-being. With that in mind, why not use the
holidays as an opportunity to give the most
important gift of all? That gift, of course, is
health. Here are a few ways to make your
health-conscious friend or family member smile
from ear to ear.
The Gift of Fitness : Whether buying for a fitness buff or a beginner, options abound.
Exercise balls, kettlebells and resistance bands
are inexpensive gifts that can help budding fitness gurus build their home gyms. If the DIY
option isnt right for the person you have in
mind, try a prepaid gym membership, trainer
session or package of yoga classes. Losing
weight is the most popular New Years resolution, so spread the health.
Healthy Tech : Many health enthusiasts like to
monitor their progress and chart their results.
These days, there are a number of gadgets that
can help keep track of your fitness and dietary
goals. From wristbands that log daily activity to
wireless heart monitors and interval timers,
technology can supercharge any regimen.
Culinary Inspiration : Whether youre shopping for a vegetarian, a Paleo enthusiast, or just
someone looking to build a healthier kitchen,
culinary gifts are always a sure bet. Healthy
cookbooks and kitchenware will help them stick
to their healthy habits, and you might even get a
delicious meal in the bargain.
Charitable Donations :: Donating to a healthpromoting charity on another persons behalf
can be a great way to support his or her healthconscious cause. Giving Tuesday is December
2 a nationwide event that marks the perfect
time for such a gesture.
If youre looking for a unique way to give
back, check out Action for Healthy Kids, an
organization that works to make schools healthier places for kids to learn. In its online gift catalog, youll find a host of charitable options,
scaled to fit almost any budget. From a physical
activity classroom kit to school breakfast for a
child for the entire year (students who eat
school breakfast score 17.5 percent higher on
standardized math tests), Action for Healthy
Kids provides an easy way to make an impact
with healthy gifts.
Everyone is looking for the perfect gift for
kids this time of year, and its hard to beat the
gift of a healthier life, said Rob Bisceglie CEO
of Action for Healthy Kids. Its estimated that
one-third of U.S. kids are overweight or obese.
Thats a statistic that needs to change.
Staying healthy and fit is important yearround, so dont hesitate to give your friends and
family holiday gifts that will help enrich their
mind, body and soul. While other gifts might be
used and discarded, yours will keep on giving.

Question: As a doctor, what
benefit do you see for your
patients from meditation?
Dr. Kunwarjit Singh Duggal:
In my practice, I see many patients
who suffer from chronic pain from
a wide variety of ailments. While
trying to manage chronic pain,
some of the biggest issues they
have are the emotional and spiritual voids in their lives. Meditation
is a fantastic way to address both
of these aspects. As a countless
number of medical studies have
proven, meditation significantly
helps ease anxiety and stress,
decrease levels of depression,
combat aggression, increase ones
sense of awareness, and manage
difficult situations that arise in
everyday life. By aiding in pain
coping techniques, meditation
helps decrease and sometimes
completely erase the emotional
aspect that occurs with pain, especially chronic pain. This is seen
clinically by a significant reduction in the amount of analgesic
(pain relieving) medications
patients are taking. According to
recent studies, a majority of
patients wish that their physicians
would ask more about and address
spirituality in their encounters
with patients. Those who do not
have a spiritual sense of where
they fit in the universe tend also to
suffer from a lack of life control.
This, in turn, directly relates to
their ability to manage their pain.
Those who do not have a spiritual sense of where they fit in the universe
