How Strength Training Changes Your Body For Good
By Mandy Oaklander, Time Health
The average American flat-out loathes strength training. While about half of people do the recommended amount of aerobic activity each week, only 20% also do the muscle-strengthening moves that work major muscle groups.
Yet the scientific benefits are stacking up in favor of it, from bone protection to disease prevention, and it appears
to have special benefits for women.
"There are so many misconceptions about strength
and resistance training," says Larry Tucker, a professor in exercise sciences at Brigham Young University. "One is that you'll become muscle-bound"-so bulked up that your body becomes rigid. That myth was somewhat dispelled when athletes who started strength-training saw that they could hit a ball farther, jump higher and run faster, Tucker says. "Gradually we started realizing there are benefits beyond sports."
Benefits of Weight Training
Increased bone density, decreased risk for osteoporosis
Reduced risk of type 2 diabetes
Decreased risk of cardiovascular disease

Foods That Will Help You Gain Muscle On a Vegetarian Diet
By Matthew Kadey R.D., Men's Health
When it comes to building muscle, it takes two to tango. "First we need the stress of exercise to stimulate the need to build muscles, and then we need the extra protein to actually build the new muscle," says Donald K. Layman, Ph.D., professor emeritus in the Department of Food Science & Human Nutrition at the University of Illinois.
So making sure your diet doesn't skimp on this macronutrient is vital if you want to get the most out of your workouts. Plus,
suggests protein dulls your hunger, which is good news for your waistline. "When a higher proportion of calories come from protein, it minimizes the loss of muscle mass during weight loss, and helps drive the weight loss towards body fat," explains Laymen.
But what if you prefer beans over beef? Can you still get all the protein your body needs to look and perform its best on a vegetarian diet? Worry not, tofu lovers. A recent Arizona State University
found no difference in measures of strength or endurance - or levels of lean body mass - in vegetarian athletes compared to meat eaters.
With some strategic planning, it's entirely possible to
power your muscles on plant protein
If you're hitting the weight room regularly, Laymen suggests shooting for about 1.5 grams of
for every kilogram you weigh (that's 116 grams for a 170-pound guy) to ensure the breakdown of your muscles
doesn't outstrip muscle protein synthesis
, the driving force behind your gains.
Endurance athletes
should aim for 1.2 - 1.4 grams per kilogram of body weight.
Three of the Best High-Protein Vegetarian Foods
1 cup of Low-Fat Greek Yogurt - 23 g of Protein
1 cup of Cooked Black beans - 15 g of Protein
1/2 cup Part-Skim Riccotta Cheese - 14 g of Protein

A Campus Research Talk will consist of two parts; the principal investigator of a research unit will first introduce the research topic of his/her research unit during a 20-25 minute state of the art-like talk, during which the PI can highlight the contributions of the unit to the research field. Following this introduction, the PhD student will present his/her work during 20-25 minutes as well. In this second part, a smaller and more specific intro to the PhD-students work is followed by (un)published work of the PhD student with emphasis on their own breakthroughs, technical approaches and problems, personal views etc. After the two talks, there is some time for questions (to both speakers) and altogether the Campus Research Talk should not take up more than 1 hour. Afterwards, drinks (+ snacks) will be provided to facilitate further discussion and networking.
We will start the seminar sessions on Friday 26th of October (VUB week 6) in Room B017 from 15h30-16h30, and then every other week.
If you are interested in presenting during one of these seminar series, please email Leo van Grunsven (email@example.com) or Aude Bonehill (email@example.com) with the name of the PI and PhD student and a title of the seminar (or two if a subtitle is needed).

The Newsdesk 10.21.09 – Jolie and DiCaprio Could Don Gucci; Dafoe to Play Giant Alien
• Angelina Jolie and Leonardo DiCaprio could star in Gucci, a movie about the 1995 murder of Maurizio Gucci, for director Ridley Scott. Wait…have DiCaprio and Jolie never worked together? Not even during the '90s? How is that possible?
• New Moon director Chris Weitz revealed that no director has been confirmed for Breaking Dawn, the fourth and final installment in the Twilight franchise. Our pick? Brett Ratner. He'll successfully run the franchise into the ground, thereby ensuring it won't be revived for decades.
• Willem Dafoe is reportedly playing a 9-foot-tall alien in the John Carter from Mars movie, from Wall-E director Andrew Stanton. Sometimes the jokes just write themselves, folks.
• As per a new agreement, Steven Spielberg will stay on as a consultant for Universal Theme Parks through 2017. Maybe this means he'll finally get around to overseeing that Amistad water ride.
• The director of the acclaimed movie Sin Nombre will tackle an adaptation of Jane Eyre. Isn't it about time someone added a monster to that story, ala Pride and Prejudice and Zombies? Perhaps Jane Eyre and The Mummy's Curse?

The Song
Dreamed November or December 1948 by Nancy Price
Source: Acquainted with the Night by Nancy Price (1949), selections from an experimental dream journal she kept for one year.
I felt I would like to end this series of dreams with the most beautiful sound that has ever come to me in these visions of the night. I may in some aeon of time hear it again, but never in this life, of that I am assured.
In my dream, as in my waking hours, I was oppressed and depressed by the sunless, icy days through which I had been passing, but the dream brought no snow to beautify the unrelenting drab greyness. I was apparently wandering in a barren waste of endlessly stretching plains, dreary mountains and again plains, all of which I had to traverse. On and on I trudged, my eyes ever seeking something that might gladden them. I suffered neither hunger nor thirst, I seemed drained of all feeling and sensation, just moving on, where, and for what, I do not know, but on I had to go. It seemed there was no difference in the light of day or of the night; both were cold, cheerless, dreary as a slum in the early morning. I was untroubled of hope or expectancy; I seemed to have no past or future, just to move forward with no particular desire either to sleep or rest; aimless movement in a surround of drab, where there was no sign or sound of life. As I now think of my dream, the worst aspect of it seems my acceptance of mechanical and meaningless movement.
My next recollection is of finding myself in an empty building, walled in, no doors or windows. Then suddenly, as a flash of lightning pierces the darkness--a wall cracked. Through the aperture came a bird's song such as I have never heard or imagined. When I try to recapture that sound I think of the exaltation of the lark, the freshness and clarity of the blackbird and thrush, the inspiration expressed by the nightingale, the restful sweetness of the dove, the cheer of the robin and the joyousness of chaffinch, reed warbler and wren; every song was there in those wonderful notes, which expressed strength, beauty, gladness. On and on sang the bird, and the music entirely possessed my whole being, fulfilling all that I had ever desired, enjoyed or worshipped.
I pushed through the opening, the air was warm and full of sweet scents. I was filled with an exaltation and sense of completeness such as I have never before known or thought possible. On and on went the song, and I woke, but still it filled my mind, heart and ears.
I leapt out of bed and pushed open the window. Fainter grew that marvellous singing, the air still had a lingering warmth and sweetness, then gradually the light, the song, the kindly warmth, all the unutterable beauty faded--it was a dark cold night. I shut the window, but never shall I shut out the memory of that ineffable wonder, that fulfilment, that state of being where body and mind were uplifted and satisfied, composed of sensation outside mortal experience.

Dir: Adam Wingard
Cast: Dan Stevens, Maika Monroe, Brendan Meyer, Sheila Kelley, Leland Orser, Tabatha Shaun, Joel David Moore, and Lance Reddick
Synopsis: A soldier introduces himself to the Peterson family, claiming to be a friend of their son who died in action. After the young man is welcomed into their home, a series of accidental deaths seem to be connected to his presence
*Reviewer Note: This will be a spoiler free review*
The team of Adam Wingard and Simon Barrett is one that I'm starting to fully invest in. They caught eyes of general audiences with You're Next and segments in V/H/S and its sequel. But they also made a highly enjoyable survivor thriller A Horrible Way to Die but with this new movie The Guest, Wingard who serves as the director and Barrett as the writer, they bring a great homage to the old movies of James Carpenter and 70s and 80s horror/thriller films.
The movie starts off with Laura Peterson (Kelley) who is grieving over the death of her son Caleb when a mysterious charming man shows up calming to be an old army friend named David (Stevens). He quickly wins over the family that includes the bullied son Luke (Meyer), rebellious daughter Anna (Monroe), and frustrated husband Spencer (Orser). Soon though, we start to realize that David is not who he says he is and terrible things start to happen.
Almost like You're Next, The Guest shares the same vibe as a movie from the 70s and 80s. It's got action, dread, mystery, some dark comedy and catchy synthesizer music. Wingard knows exactly what he's doing and finds the balance of all the tones running through the movie and manages to make every one of those moments enjoyable and fun to watch. It does have a rough part right before the final act but the nice thing is that even the characters are aware of it and even rolls their own eyes. In any other movie it would seem too self aware and cheesy and it is here, but considering the rest of the movie, it's actually welcomed.
But The Guest isn't just defined by its tone or feel, but by the performance of Dan Stevens. Stevens is wildly known for his performance in Downton Abbey, but never seeing the show, I can assume that this is nothing compared to what he's done there. Stevens does a fantastic job of balancing David's personalities through the movie. He has his charm about him and calls people "sir" and "ma'am" but the time it takes for him to get you to like him, David can switch to a menacing demeanor, which was truly frightening in some occasions. The nice thing is that he never really overdoes it and makes the movie hard to watch, in the sense that you never know what's going to happen when David enters a room.
The hard part is deciding what you think of David. He acts as a defender to the Peterson family – deals with some bullies for Luke – but since his actions are so brutal, it makes you think if the Petersons made the right choice in bringing in David or not. But, again, Stevens' performance is so well done that you end up rooting for him, even though his actions are very exciting but brutal.
The other performances are a little hard to judge since we spend a lot of time with Stevens, and even when he's not on screen the movie kind of slows down. Lance Reddick shows up as a man from David's past and does what he can with the role but really goes nowhere expect to tell Anna about David. Brendan Meyer as Luke Peterson sees David as a friend and possibly surrogate brother as David teaches Luke to stand up for himself. Meyer does okay as the younger brother who finally finds someone he can talk to and a friend.
Finally there is Maika Monroe as Anna. The role really could have gone the way of Anna being a bit bitchy, but instead Anna is a bit standoffish, which is understandable once you understand the dynamic of the family. As the movie progress she suspects that David isn't really who he says he is and rapidly sees David is a different light. Monroe is a relativity newcomer and manages to hold her own against Stevens. One particular scene stands out to me around the halfway point when Anna confronts David about who he is.
All in all, The Guest has a great mixture of tones and pays a nice homage to other films from the past. With a great score and performance by Dan Stevens, The Guest is a fun, scary, and enjoyable ride from start to finish.

The consent was given by Pol Lt-Colonel Piyaphan Wana-ukirt, a Samui tourist police inspector, after a public hearing with taxi drivers was held at a Koh Samui police station on Tuesday morning.
The meeting was joined by academics from the Surat Thani Transport office and police officers from Koh Samui and Bophut police stations.
Piyaphan held the hearing following complaints by foreign tourists that drivers on the tiny tourist destination were refusing to use their meters and overcharging them. Piyaphan was assigned to tackle the problem.
But during the meeting, taxi drivers said Samui was a special area and they would accrue losses if they used their meters because petrol prices on the island were higher than mainland prices by Bt2 to Bt3 per litre.
During the meeting, taxi drivers proposed raising the metered fare to start at Bt100 for the first two kilometres and Bt20 per kilometre thereafter. If taxis are caught in traffic, meters should charge Bt5 per minute, the drivers said.
If the proposal is approved by the Transport Ministry, the Samui Taxi Driers Club promised to change the meters by November 23, after which all drivers are supposed to start using them.
Piyahan said taxi drivers would be arrested and face severe legal action if they still refuse to comply with the new measure if the proposal is approved.

A study of US Google desktop text ad activity on 200 top credit card keywords based on paid search ad spend in early 2016 shows Capital One leading all advertisers with $1.8 million spent—accounting for 17% of all paid search spend by the category in Q1.
In total, 1,010 advertisers spent $10.5 million sponsoring the 200 credit card keywords in Q1 2016, at an average clickthrough (CTR) rate of 3.91% and an average cost per click of $5.61.
Top advertisers by spend. The Top 20 advertisers by spend on the keyword group primarily includes a mix of credit card issuers, lead aggregator sites and advertising-supported content sites as detailed in the chart below:
Capital One, at more than $1.8 million spent, is followed by CreditCards.com ($1.5 million), CompareCards.com ($1.1 million), CreditKarma.com ($872,000) and Bank of America ($759,000).
Among the Top 20 advertisers by spend, Capital One also had the highest average cost per click, 4.9%, and was again directly followed by CreditCards.com, which had 4.7% average CTR. However, the roles were reversed when it came to number keywords sponsored, with CreditCards.com leading the Top 20 with 190 keywords sponsored in Q1 and Capital One following with 153 different terms sponsored.
Specializing in offering credit to small businesses, Headway Capital had the highest average cost per click among the Top 20 advertisers, $18.01. American Express was next with an $11.43 average cost per click in Q1. On the opposite end of the spectrum, content site BadCredit.org, which specializes in advice articles for consumers with poor credit scores, had an average cost per click of just $1.36, the lowest among the Top 20 advertisers.
Top keywords. The following chart ranks the top credit card keywords we examined by paid search spend:
What a difference an "s" makes. The general term "credit cards" was the top keyword by far in terms of paid search spend, with nearly $1.7 million collectively spent on it by 41 different advertisers in Q1 2016. Notably, the very similar term "credit card" had less than half that amount in paid search spend during the period, $807,000, at a very similar average clickthrough rate (3.1% versus 3%), average cost per click ($6.14 versus $6.04) and number of advertisers (39 versus 41). The difference in spend between the two terms underscores the importance of keyword selection for advertisers. Although not specified in the chart, we found the biggest difference between the two keywords came in search volume—'credit cards' had more than 1.2 million searches in Q1 while 'credit card' had less than half that figure, 553,000.
MasterCard versus Visa. MasterCard and Visa both had a single brand term in the Top 20 keywords. However, the term "mastercard" generated more than twice the ad spend of the term "visa credit card"–$839,464 vs. $393,544—with less than half the advertisers—18 versus 37.
Bad credit keywords had the most advertisers. The Top 20 term with the most advertisers was "credit cards for bad credit" with 132 advertisers sponsoring it in Q1 2016 at an average cost per click of just $1.16—the lowest CPC among the Top 20 keywords. Digging a little deeper, we found 13 keywords containing the term "bad credit' among all 200 keywords we examined, including "credit cards for people with bad credit" and "bad credit credit cards". In all, the 13 bad credit keywords averaged 80 advertisers per keyword—116% more than the average for the other 187 keywords, which had an average of 37 advertisers per keyword. Collectively, the bad credit keywords had a relatively low average cost per click, $1.66, with the exception being the term "business credit cards for bad credit", which had a $7.32 average CPC.

Editor's Notes

The 17th Generation Handroid Handbot 8001 was an alien medical robotdesigned to assist residents of the Two Streams Facility, providing guidance and - if necessary - medicine (known as "kindnesses") to the patients.
The Handbots were approximately six feet tall, white and humanoid. Their hands were their most prominent features, serving many strange and mundane purposes. They use them to manipulate objects such as hypodermic needles, which they carried in their chests and heads. With the aid of synthetic, organic skin grafted onto their hands, they were used for sensory perception, "seeing" with their fingers. This form of sight was so potent that Handbots could see the types of bacteria on a person. The eponymous hands also held anaesthetic transfer: one touch was all it took to send someone to sleep in moments.
Handbots communicated to a degree with the patients, but lacked any kind of intelligence. If a person's reply to a Handbot did not match an "acceptable" reply, the statement would be rejected and the handbot would continue any course of action it deemed appropriate.
The Handbots were equipped with hypodermic needles and darts, which they used to administer their "kindnesses". The syringes were held in a chest compartment and given by hand. The darts were held inside the head for feistier residents and were shot at patients in what was known as the "secondary delivery system". Administration of medicine would usually be accompanied by a set dialogue: "Do not be alarmed. This is a kindness." They could be reprogrammed to be docile (as in the case of Rory); however Amy literally "disarmed" the robot, suggesting that even docile it could still be dangerous.
Inside the chest cavity, Handbots also held a "black box recorder", which would record any cause of termination. The Handbots could walk from place to place and jump between time streams, though they didn't teleport (despite the appearance of the time jump).
Despite their many features, Handbots were less than formidable. Their sensors malfunctioned in the presence of temporal engines, they were slow moving and they were easily knocked out by blunt or sharp force. Furthermore, if the hands of Handbots touched it created a feedback loop which would knock them out. Only in great numbers did the Handbots pose a real threat.
Behind the scenes Edit
- Writer Tom MacRae has said that one of the scariest Doctor Who moments for him personally was a scene in Terror of the Vervoids where Vervoids attacked a man using deadly seed pods delivered from their hands. He speculated that the idea of hands being frightening may have subconsciously inclined him to create the Handbots.
Appearances Edit
- Doctor Who season 6 - The Girl Who Waited (2011)

Patricia Zorko
Deputy National Coordinator for Security and Counterterrorism
Patricia Zorko is the Deputy National Coordinator for Security and Counterterrorism (NCTV) and Director of the NCTV's Cyber Security Department. Keeping the Netherlands safe has been a recurrent theme throughout her career. After completing her studies at the Police College, she began work as an inspector with the Utrecht municipal police in 1986. She later held a number of other positions, including district commander and head of the regional criminal investigation team.
After 20 years she shifted her focus from neighbourhood and urban policing to the national law enforcement and joined the Dutch Police Services Agency (KLPD), where her duties included cyber crime and digitisation. With the introduction of the National Police in 2011 she was appointed project planner, Chief Constable and eventually Chief of the Central Unit. In the last of these posts, her responsibilities included the criminal investigation into the downing of flight MH17.
In 2015 Ms Zorko made the transition from the police to the Ministry of Justice and Security. As Deputy National Coordinator for Security and Counterterrorism, she contributes to both national and international security, with a particular focus on jihadism. Patricia has been Acting National Coordinator for Security and Counterterrorism from november 2018 till february 2019.
Her work as Director of the Cyber Security Department centres on digital protection, a challenge with a broad range of responsibilities, as illustrated by the analyses conducted under Ms Zorko's leadership every year. Threats are on the rise and are becoming more complex all the time. In the meantime society and the economy have become entirely dependent on digital technology. Ms Zorko's decision to vigorously spotlight cyber security has resulted in the Dutch Cyber Security Agenda: seven goals to which public and private sector parties are committing themselves to further enhance the Netherlands' approach to cyber security. This initiative puts cyber security at the heart of the Dutch Digitalisation Strategy.

I appreciate it's the most rubbishy shot ever, but it does just about show the silvery shrew moving about below the surface, its tail and its back legs (you're looking at the blur in the very middle of the picture). Water shrews are dark-furred, but the bubbles trapped in their coat as they dive make them look light when viewed from above. The second photo shows location: by the railway bridge near Homebase. There are also water vole latrines and a feeding station on the left bank this evening.

Information on article writing benefits and creating report on literature in diploma or degree function
Information on article writing benefits and creating report on literature in diploma or degree function
In this post, we desire to impart some knowledge for you. That is, we want to take a look at two parts of a degree or diploma effort: guide and range of being used literature.
What may want to beginning see about?
Benefits is an element of the job, which all of us frequently focus on, so on your hard work, it should be outstanding. Maybe it should sound paradoxical to someone, but getting into part of the diploma is compiled at the finalized position of work. In fact it needs to hold ideas that will be identified by this writer only following your finishing the degree or diploma. (With experiences, any time you come up with not the first diploma, then a beginning are usually put together at the beginning of work).
Now, let's talk concerning how to make an admission to match your diploma. First of all, the advantages is printed totally in line with the frequently acknowledged algorithm:
- Within the start, publish 2-3 paragraphs, which supply a very little, as it were, lyrical the introduction and disclose the importance of the topic of the degree or diploma paper;
- Section about home-based and foreign experts who committed their medical activly works to the research into this issue;
- Thing of evaluation – one particular phrase. For people who have a degree or diploma relating to the illustration showing an individual reputable company, then your thing is definitely the absolutely enterprise.
- Area of interest of investigate – it is the part of the target of groundwork, which immediately centers the interest in the specialist.
- Main objective – 1 paragraph. Here you go necessary to inform, for which in most cases you jot down this degree or diploma operate.
- Responsibilities of labor – nominal 5 factors. By its extremely the great outdoors, the job is most likely the procedures crucial to get the dream of employment;
- Methodological, theoretical and informative period for the groundwork. It specifies the info suppliers and medical ways that these journalist found in the investigation technique. I usually imitate this area of the entrance perhaps belonging to the entrance of another degree, or out from the dissertation located on the Internet access.
- Within the last few section on the guide, it actually is alluring to refer to the structure of your own perform the job, identify the sheer number of utilized desks, sketches, software and literary methods.
Close to, such an entry composition would be wise to emerge from your pen, having the modification for the wants for each precise school. The second thing is, there are a lot abstracts of dissertations via the internet, which summarize the material of research performs. It is sufficient to search for only a few abstracts with your topic area.
Directory of widely used literature also is worthy of concentration
Instructors prefer to loom at the set of work references no fewer, and maybe further more. So, let's chat concerning how to make your report on your places outstanding. There are some procedures on this site:
- To begin with, post just a few policies or rules pertaining to your matter;
- Almost all the sources needs to be periodicals – magazines, newspaper publishers, conference materials used, and specifically a very new, screen printed 12 months, maximum 2 years earlier;
- I suggest to list as far as possible novels from eminent writers, particularly international;
- Ensure that you place afterwards quite a few web site, this should revamp your number. If your manufacturer provides a website page on your circle, you should not forget about it as well.
Once you have obtained a suitable assortment of literary assets, they must be sorted alphabetically (because of the identities associated with the creators). It's conducted simply short essay essay in Statement.

Globe Theatrette Ahuriri, Napier
Tucked away in Ahuriri, this boutique movie theatre features an Operable Wall provided by Action Door Solutions. The purple shade of material enhances the operable wall and compliments the surrounding color schemes within the Cinema. This Operable wall decreases the sound flowing in/out of the Cinema room itself, and also acts as a partition to ensure the room is pitch black.

The theme of Snakeskin leather ruled this season on the whole. Literally, because fashion houses encourage you to wear it in total look. Snake leather from head to toe on a dress or set will be a great option for women who are not afraid to experiment and be on time.
For you I have a proposal for maternity styling with the snake of fashion on the mini version of the skin. I decided to just have a handbag, but I decided to play with the patterns. I have chosen her to shirt in the colors of cards and delicate shoes in black and white strips.
The shirt comes from the Asos maternity collection, it has a fashion of tunics, so it can also check after pregnancy. Seamless microfiber Leggings Jojo Maman Bebe, which I find personally the best among many brands. I have tested them by wearing almost every day for a change with others. Compared to the rest, they do not kulkują and incur for wear and laundering. They are soft, but do not stretch and do not defasonuja, as I do with the leggings. Color remained black despite many washes.
Shirt: Asos Maternity
Leggings: Jojo Maman Bebe
Shoes: Miss Selfridge
Handbag: Mango
Glasses: Céline
In connection with the tip of the blessed state I will get rid of some of the maternity clothes. Some are founded once or at all. Would you be willing to put on the blog a bookmark with such things for sale? I ask you for feedback in the comments.
I also encourage you to have for a post about pregnant care. Recently I was panned for the text that I care about my tummy and, as long as I do not have stretch marks, it is only merit of genetics. I don't think so. I put in a lot of work every day and recently utwierdziłaed me in the right also known aesthetic medicine doctor. I was on a consultation to find out what can be done after pregnancy during breastfeeding and the first of which she started Dr., it uczuliłaed me, I would especially now smarowała the belly even with the olive every day, because the skin is now at the tip of the possibilities. It is pulled to the max (I feel it in the form of pain) at any moment until childbirth may appear large cracks in the form of stretch marks. Then after pregnancy it will be harder for yourself in the living room to help you return to form. In my gentle but long and frequent massages with natłuszczaniem clearly cause the forgiveness of pain and relaxation of the skin. We do not give up the woman to the end!
Sylveco Balm is a cool, inexpensive option.

Lip and Nose Reconstruction following trauma
Patient named Kumar, aged 25 years, a construction worker, accidentally fell on a granite cutter severing his nose and lip area. He landed with profuse bleeding and a disfigured face. He was admitted to intensive care unit. The upper teeth were exposed and the oral mucosa was dry and painful. Nutrition and Speech were difficult and painful to the patient.
Patient needed a lip and nose revision to restore back the anatomy of the face in the most aesthetic way possible. Nasal reconstruction occupies a special position in facial plastic surgery because of the complex three dimensional surface of the nose, the varying thickness of the skin covering it and various types of scaffolding ranging from rigid bone to flexible cartilage and its inner epithelial lining. The facial tissues are unique in shape, texture and colour. A particularly unique feature in its anatomy is the close association of the skin with underlying muscle architecture comprising of unique combination of function, facial expression and aesthetics.
Patient was counselled on the treatment procedure and outcome so that he could cope with the temporarily protracted treatment and not give in to social and psychological stress.
Patient was first administered lidocaine with adrenalin/epinephrine 1:100,000 local infiltration for pain control as well as for wound edge vasoconstriction which facilitates visualization. Then general anaesthesia was administered. The wound was cleaned and carefully assessed before approximating wound edges. Traumatic flaps were rotated back to their original position very much like fitting the pieces of a puzzle together. Wounds were carefully sutured in layers with care to close muscle fascia, deep dermis, and epidermis. Wound edges that were bevelled and devitalized tissue were appropriately debrided.
The patient coped with the procedure well. The swelling gradually subsided and he started with minimal functional movements. He was discharged after 2 days of observation. The patient was very happy and thankful to the doctors since the procedure helped him regain the functionality and aesthetics.

Omni AI
The challenge:
Cloud communications specialist Infobip recently launched OMNI, its omni-channel solution for enterprises, combining the full range of voice and messaging apps into a single platform to support two-way customer engagement. Infobip needed to differentiate itself in what is becoming a busy and fast-growing space.
The solution:
A key differentiating factor of Infobip's OMNI platform is its support for chat bots and automation, giving brands the ability to harness AI to power two-way communications and improve customer service. While acknowledging the opportunity chat bots present to brands, Infobip also recognised some of the challenges the industry will face in implementing AI to replace human emotions and responses. Babel worked closely with Infobip to develop comment and opinion on this issue, presenting Infobip's senior spokespeople as thought leaders on the subject.
The outcome:
Infobip has become vocal on the issue of AI-powered chat bots and is now affiliated with the opportunities, and the challenges, this innovative technology offers to brands. It's in a unique position to provide tangible advice on how AI development is changing the communications industry, and the company has been quoted frequently on the topic across a range of key trade and industry titles as a result.

At 13 tracks, War Eternal is the quintessential Arch Enemy album. It's both a nostalgic nod to the band's past ("Never Forgive, Never Forget", "No More Regrets") and stunning example of what's possible in the future ("Down to Nothing", "Time is Black"). But if there's a standout track—a spearhead—it's the title track. Unveiled to the world on Youtube, "War Eternal" marches defiantly against the mundane, two raised fists to the constraints of society and the cage it desperately tries to put on us all. In it, White-Gluz proves she's the next generation of great, while Amott and the rest of Arch Enemy play as if "War Eternal" is their last song. That "War Eternal" amassed an astonishing 1.5 million views the first 10 days is telling of its conviction and power. "There are a lot of details in this album that excite me as a songwriter and guitarist," Amott grins. "Personally, I've pushed myself harder as player on War Eternal and feel I've gone to another level this time, which is very rewarding. I actually think the whole band has kicked everything up a notch or two."
Produced by the band and mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren (Opeth, Paradise Lost) at Fascination Street Studio, the Swedes' 10th full-length is unrelentingly brutal yet remarkably polished. "We could afford any big name producer at this stage in the game," says Amott. "Having the band produce the album was a natural and logical way of working for us at this point. It was critical that we bring out the true Arch Enemy sound, the essence of the band on this record and who knows that better than us? Jens Bogren did an outstanding mixing and mastering the album. It was my first time working with him and I am more than impressed with his talent." Expect Arch Enemy to wage war throughout 2014 in support of War Eternal. Remember, change is inevitable. War is eternal!

We want to hear about getting around car-free in your city.
Hey readers, we need you. When we first started our series about raising tiny humans in the city, Room to Grow, we asked parents to tell us through a survey about their experience living in cities. Now, we're back with another question.
In that first survey, many of you told us that you wanted to go car-free, but were worried about the additional challenges, especially with small children. Now, we want to hear from those of you who are making it work.
Please fill out our survey below and/or share with a parent friend who might be interested to share their experiences. Your comments and stories could be included in a future CityLab article.

Doesn't it feel nice to be acknowledged and appreciated for the things you do? I love it when my kids say thank you. I light up when a friend compliments a new haircut or thanks me for a thoughtful gesture. It feels awesome to look at an audience and see smiles and nods of agreement.
But sometimes, those simple gestures just don't happen. And that doesn't particularly feel good.
But here's the thing. Waiting for approval from others is a very passive way to give yourself something you naturally (and rightfully) crave. A few months back, I got some incredible advice from my friend Lisa Greenfield of Truth in Hand. I'm not sure why we think we need to wait for the things we want… But we don't have to wait any longer. In this video, I'm sharing a simple, daily practice that will satisfy the hungriest of souls. It's time to give yourself the credit you deserve!

We have certainly been spoilt for choice when it comes to aphorisms that sum up the challenges for contemporary politics, particularly when it comes to the role of the media.
When Kellyanne Conway offered up "alternative facts" as a line, arguing that White House press secretary Sean Spicer had not, actually, lied about the size of Trump's inauguration crowd, she was quickly pounced on, and became something of a laughing stock. Multiple metrics, after all - from aerial photography, to passenger numbers for public transit - showed that the crowd was, in fact, smaller than both Trump and Spicer had claimed.
'Alternative facts', in other words, seemed nothing other than a synonym for 'lie'. And yet Insider's initial chuckle has been quietened as he came to realise that Conway's term was perhaps more artfully phrased than initially realised.
It has become clear, of course, that Spicer's job is not so much to provide information to the press, to shape the narrative they go on to create, as to provide a show for an audience of one. Trump, it has been reported, pays careful attention to Spicer's performances, providing detailed critique ("Wear better suits!" ), and wants a certain message, provided in a certain way. "Show them that my crowd was bigger!" So Spicer wheels out large photographs that appear consistent with Trump's claim at CIA headquarters that "it looked like a million and a half people. Whatever it was, it was. But it went all the way back to the Washington Monument. And I turn on - and by mistake I get this network, and it showed an empty field."
So, on one level, we can read Conway's 'alternative facts' as about this change in context - Spicer's photos are from the perspective Trump had, where it would indeed have looked like a large crowd, receding away from him, rather than from the angle of a distant observer looking at the rear of the crowd, where it was possible to see where it petered out.
There is something more, though. Conway's professional background is as head of the innocuously titled The Polling Company. Among her specialtiies was producing polling results essentially to order - when the Augusta National Golf Club wanted to push back against calls to open membership to women, in 2003, it was to Conway they turned. Conway used a string of questions that act to 'prime' respondents - framing critics of Augusta as "more concerned with attracting media attention for herself and her organisation" and "insulting to women, because it makes it seem that getting admitted to a golf club is a big priority to all women".
If you ask enough skewed questions, one will give you a serviceable result (and you need not publish, or highlight, the questions with less supportive results ), but more than that, particularly when it comes to topics on which respondents do not have strongly-held existing opinions, they are susceptible to priming and framing effects.
Neil Postman, the media ecologist, recounted an anecdote in one of his books, about two priests who happened to be smokers. One contacts the Pope asking if it is permitted to smoke while praying, and gets slapped down. The other asks if it is permissible to pray while smoking, with more successful results. The framing of a question can do much to shape the opinion secured.
In short, reality, even if formed out of fixed data points, is a malleable thing for a pollster like Conway. The alternative facts Spicer provided might appear deceptive - but they can instead be read as being aimed at those already primed to view the world a certain way, bolstering such views and finding a ready-made audience.
If you believe Trump is the essence of success, if you believe that 'coastal elites' are out to undermine Trump, then Spicer's version feels right, even if there are inconsistencies in the details. Insider is reminded - yet again - of 'Truthiness', coined by comedian Stephen Colbert, to describe an emotional resonance that feels 'right' even as it leaves objective truth and facts behind.
So we have a US president whose senior staff are immersed in a world where the truth is contingent, constructed, context-dependent. Surely there's some form of irony, then, that he takes such umbrage when media outlets choose a framing, a context, that is at odds with his. "You can have any colour you like, so long as it's black," said Henry Ford. So is it with the Trump administration - bend the facts any way you choose, so long as the result is favourable to us.
The term 'fake news' was first used in the past election cycle to refer to sites that produced fabricated content that appealed to political partisans - that had the potential to 'go viral' and thus generate advertising revenue for the originating site. Some analysis suggested that such false items were more prevalent in conservative circles than liberal ones, though the reasons are not wholly clear. (The aphorism 'facts have a liberal bias' is appealing, but does not explain this issue. )
These early research findings clearly got under the skin of at least one conservative online, and Trump has taken to referring to news outlets that critically report on his administration as 'fake news', even going so far as to call the media as a whole 'the enemy of the people'.
These are dangerous claims - much as the claim (seemingly sourced from right-wing media ) that Obama illegally tapped his phones is dangerous. A functioning democracy requires an independent press that acts as a watchdog on those in various positions of power. It also requires a legitimacy that is grounded in a shared acceptance of a set of basic understandings of how the world is, and should be, structured. Alternative facts - ones that baselessly undermine basic things like whether you can trust election results, or whether the media are not just flawed but 'the enemy of the people' - pose an existential threat to these basic elements.

Following our last post about Wilson using an I-Pad to help him at school, his Mum recommended more education resources on the RNIB (Royal National Institute for the Blind) website. We've been impressed by the up to date content across the site, and here are links we've found particularly useful/interesting so far …
– Parent's Place Check out the Education Section, and four Early Support 'Vision Impairment' guides in the 'RNIB's work with Early Support guidance for families' section.
– Early Support – Developmental Journal for Children with Visual Impairment A set of charts and activity cards for parents that enable checking, recording, and sharing progress for 0-3 year olds. This looks a fantastic (if a little long – development journal is 172 pages and activity cards are 146 pages) resource that we wish we'd discovered sooner for Jack.
– Using Tablets in the Classroom Guidance Information in written/video formats about how tablets can help visually impaired students.
– Technology Checklists to help determine equipment required and help set up a PC to maximise use for learners with a visual impairment
– National Curriculum Guides for teachers (and parents) by subject to help teach visually impaired students.
We were also pleased to find information on the site about two research projects for visually impaired children. We look forward to following the results.
1. The Optimum VI project aims to learn more about babies and young children with vision loss/visual impairment and how different methods of early intervention and care might best help early development. It's a three year project funded by Fight for Sight, RNIB, and Great Ormond Street Hospital, and they are currently recruiting babies aged 6-15 months.
2. The Socio-cognitive skills project aims to learn more about progression of children aged 8 – 12 with vision impairment, identifying their strengths and highlighting areas that might need extra help and intervention. The Development Vision Clinic at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) is currently recruiting.
If you know of any other good resources or research studies we'd love to hear about them – please feel free to share links by leaving a reply below. Thanks.

Workforce management is a complex software and hardware set of tools that helps organizations to collect employee time and attendance, manage workforce absences and schedules, monitor performance and labor cost and create real time reports for all workers at any location at any time.
What Is Workforce Management – Key Features
The range of workforce management solutions in cloud and on premise offers a number of important benefits for midsize and large companies looking for cost-effective and efficient ways of getting the most from the people they pay and includes:
- Time and Attendance
- Absence Management
- Biometric / Swipe Card attendance system
- Mobile Workforce Management
- FMLA tracking
- Employee Scheduling
- Time Allocation Systems
- HR Management
- Employee Self Service Portal
- Automated Payroll integration
- Real Time Reports
- Workplace health and safety in case of emergency
In the past, workforce management required large number of human resource workers to effectively forecast labor requirements, manage employee schedules, and make sure that the workforce was producing necessary tasks to move the company towards their goals.
For companies who manage a large workforce, finding ways to manage and optimize the productivity of those employees is essential for the company to be successful, profitable, and productive. Today, however, the digitalization of the business world is changing how companies manage and supervise the people they employ.
A recent article published in the Journal of Applied Psychology found that American workers spend an enormous amount of idle time during their workdays. The study suggested that the time not devoted towards actively pursuing or working on job-related tasks costs employers an estimated $100 billion dollars each year. The study also mentioned that more than three quarters of all employees that were polled admitted to experiencing some type of idle time while on the job.
Workforce Management (WFM) can help businesses effectively manage their staff scheduling in order to avoid paying people to be idle during the workday. Furthermore, workforce management platform can offer important insights into business and employee metrics. Human resource departments that learn to utilize time management tools can find ways to employ the fewest possible number of workers to effectively get a job done.
The Uses and Benefits of Workforce Management Software
Workforce Management has several core functions that can help businesses and their respective HR departments effectively manage their employees.
Firstly, this software can optimize labor scheduling through identifying employee skills more realistically. Finding the most competent employee for a specific job can help reduce the number of people needed to be hired. Also, these software programs can deliver detailed analysis of labor management requirements during specific times and business-related tasks. This can take the guesswork out of making decisions for activity-based employee management.
Furthermore, time management software can be utilized to collect time and work data. This will give HR departments useful employee metrics related to labor use within the company. Leave management can also be another important function of workforce management software, allowing employees to request time off while allowing for a streamlined procedure to process these employee requests without negatively affecting the necessary staffing requirements.
Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, time and attendance software programs will allow companies to monitor their employees´ working hours, late arrivals, early departures, time taken on breaks and absenteeism. These programs can help companies of all sizes save time and resources, identify and reward the most dedicated employees, create effective policies that govern absentee employees and idle time, while also avoiding clerical errors that can be caused by paper tracking system.
Important Features of Workforce Management include:
- Customizable dashboards and portals so that companies can modify the ways in which they interact with their employees.
- Access on mobile devices so that HR leaders can remotely monitor employees attendance and performance. This is especially important for businesses who manage remote employees.
- Embedded real time reports: These reports can allow companies to observe and supervise real time employee output to make sure that hour to hour tasks are being completed adequately.
- Unlimited language packs: Around 58 percent of small businesses have international customers, so unlimited language packs can allow these companies to expand their workforce to include foreign workers who speak a different language.
- Advanced messaging functionality is essential for direct communication with employees. This function of workforce management software can get rid of the need for employee meetings which can cut into productivity.
- Recruitment: Workforce management software can also help businesses recruit and maintain the best employee talent.
- Workforce management software is also essential to manage pools of available employees. This can reduce the stress that comes with finding needed employees during moments of intense business activity.
- Hourly employees are certainly common, though some businesses are looking to find workers who will be paid by task or project, especially when hiring freelance workers. Workforce management software makes it possible for companies to clock against tasks or projects, instead of the usual 9 am to 5 pm workday.
The Incorporation of Technology
Managing human resources is difficult, especially with businesses who have dozens or hundreds of employees. Artificial intelligence (AI) is slowly being incorporated into certain aspects of workforce management software. AI offers deep learning capabilities that can gather, organize, and analyze diverse streams of data and information. Not only does AI automate the processes of data collection, but the machine learning capabilities can make inferences and generate insights related to employee performance as these relate to business goals.
The incorporation of advanced technologies such as artificial and business intelligence and machine learning into workforce management software will allow HR departments to avoid speculation related to employee performance. Furthermore, HR managers will be able to use the ready-to-use insights and analysis provided by these systems to optimize workforce and employee performance.
The Changes and Evolution of Employee Management
Artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies have already simplified employee workflow while also automating the routine, non-creative tasks that used to be the responsibility of HR workers. As these cutting edge technologies continue to advance and evolve, however, the deep learning capabilities of AI should be able to assume broader functions.
For example, workforce management software in the near future should be able to help companies avoid employee turnover through managing employee growth and satisfaction metrics. The Center for American Progress (CAP) estimates that the cost to replace employees costs:
- 16 percent of the annual salary for high-turnover, low-paying jobs,
- 20 percent of the annual salary for midrange positions, and
- Up to 213 percent of annual salary for highly educated executive positions.
AI technologies in workforce management will be help companies save money through avoiding common turnover. Furthermore, machine learning systems will also be able to assist HR professionals in the recruitment and appraisal of employees. This will help companies find and retain the best employee talent to move their business in the right direction.
Workforce management software offers a number of important benefits for business of all different sizes. Incorporating these programs will help your company move forward with the best human resource technologies available.

Debt mutual fund managers are facing a tough time, with credit risk of their assets rising in the aftermath of the IL&FS crisis. Logically, to offset this rising credit risk, one would expect them to pile on risk-free government bonds or at the very least hold on to existing ones.
Strangely though, mutual funds have been net sellers of government bonds since the beginning of 2018, and the intensity of the selling has only increased in the months following September. As a percentage of total assets under management of income funds, holdings of government securities had dropped to 3.34% by end-January, from 5.37% in August 2018, shows data collated by Value Research.
One explanation that fund managers offer is that fixed income funds, especially gilt funds, have been facing outflows since the beginning of 2018, which has triggered selling in government bonds. "The duration risk is high given the outlook on interest rates. Investors want to be at the shorter end of the curve now and are moving from long duration funds to that of shorter duration," said Lakshmi Iyer, head of products and debt at Kotak Asset Management Co. Ltd.
This pessimism over long duration bonds—government bonds typically fall in this category—is unlikely to change soon, she added.
Adding to this was the delicious opportunity to easily offload long-term government bonds to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) through its open market operations (OMOs). The central bank has been one of the biggest buyers of bonds in recent months.
"RBI had done large-scale OMO operations and that had pushed yields down sharply. This sharp fall in yields has given a profit-taking opportunity. Also, when the RBI is buying, it is the best opportunity to sell," said R. Sivakumar, head of fixed income at Axis Asset Management Co. Ltd.
But what the selling of government bonds has done is increase the credit risk profile of debt funds even more. To their credit, mutual funds reduced their exposure to commercial papers (CPs) by over four percentage points to 10.6%, a clear move to reduce credit risk since these instruments were at the epicentre of the liquidity crisis. Recall that questions about the credit quality of non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) had butchered their stocks in September, with some of them losing more than 50% of their market value. In fact, taken together, the exposure of corporate bonds and CPs hasn't risen as much.
But it's fair to say that debt fund managers are between a rock and a hard place. Faced with redemptions, the only way to quickly raise cash is to sell the most liquid asset, which is government bonds. Corporate bonds are illiquid even on the best days since the secondary market volume is abysmally low. During tough times when credit risk is perceived to be high, it is even tougher to sell them.
Having said all this, higher corporate credit exposure doesn't necessarily mean much higher risk, especially if the bets are placed on corporate bonds that are highly rated. "This is the Indian market. We are always yield-hungry as investors want superior returns. When a safer quasi-public sector issuer can give a higher yield, why bother with a gilt?" says a fund manager, requesting anonymity.
The problem, however, is when the above logic leads to bets that significantly alter the risk profile of income funds. The fact that some mutual funds have agreed to standstill agreements with some corporate borrowers, who are facing liquidity pressures, only goes to show that riskiness of some debt funds have gone beyond what investors had bargained for.

Now that I am a mom of two I like to take little breaks, whenever I get a chance, to do something special for me and recharge my "mom batteries". I usually don't get a lot of free time and when I do it's mostly about 30-60 minutes at home.
One of my favorite things to do is to take a bath. There's something about relaxing in water that makes me feel like a new person. I usually end up with both of my girls in the bath but I get to relax for the first part of it by myself and it feels amazing!
I've been experimenting with bath time to make it more "spa like" and that's how these bath bombs came to life. They make bath time that much more special because it makes my skin feel so soft and it smells delicious. Plus they're really easy to make and one batch makes about 12 of them, so with just a few minutes of preparation I have enough bath bombs for a few months.
These bath bombs use lavender, lemon and peppermint essential oils as well as lavender flowers. I've used them when I feel like I'm getting sick because of the properties of these oils and they've helped me feel better.
I hope you love them as much as I do!
Did you know we have an e-book with 40 DIY recipes for bath and body products
⇒ ⇒ Check it out ⇐ ⇐
DIY Lavender Bath Bombs
This recipe creates about 12 bath bombs. If this is your first time making bath bombs, start with half this recipe.
- 16 ounces of organic cornstarch
- 16 ounces of Baking Soda
- 7.5 ounces Citric Acid
- 1 cup Epsom Salt
- 8 tablespoons organic coconut Oil
- 12 teaspoons witch hazel
- 2 tablespoons organic lavender flowers
- 5 drops lavender essential oil
- 5 drops lemon essential oil
- 5 drops peppermint essential oil
- natural food dye as desired (optional)
- Bath bomb mold (or this set)
Mix all the dry ingredients together (baking soda, citric acid, cornstarch, flowers).
Stir in 8 tablespoons of coconut oil.
Add in the essential oils and mix well. Add one teaspoon of witch hazel at a time until the consistency is moldable.
You don't have to dye the balls but I like how they look dyed, especially if I'm making these for a friend.
If you want to dye yours and get them look like the ones in these pictures then separate the mixture into two bowls. Add the natural food dye to one bowl.
Since I use natural dyes I add some blue and red dyes to make this lavender color.
Now you'll need to use the bath bomb mold to create the balls.
To give it the marbled look that's on the pictures, grab some of the mixture from each bowl and add it directly to the mold. Make sure you pack it tightly and then press firmly both halves of the mold together so you end up with one solid ball. This will prevent the ball from cracking.
Remove any excess and take the bath bomb out of the mold. If it's gets stuck you can tap the mold with a spoon.
Set parchment paper on a towel in some place that it won't be touched. I put mine inside one of my kitchen cabinets. Place all the bath bombs on top of the parchment paper. Allow the bath bombs to dry for two days and then you can put them in a storage container.
Note: You can use a bath bomb right after you make them but they will be crumbly so it's best to wait a little.
Now all there's left to do is take a bath, relax and enjoy!

The 2018 Honda Ridgeline is available in quite a few trim levels, however, each vehicle is equipped with the same high-performing engine. The powerful 3.5L V6 engine delivers an aggressive 280 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque with just a little push from the pedal. With this kind of power at their disposal, drivers can embark on all kinds of adventures.
Regardless of your chosen trim level, the Ridgeline will provide you with a 6-speed automatic transmission that will allow for a driving experience that's in tune with the driver. Upper-level trims of the Ridgeline also have the transmission dolled up with a heavy-duty cooler to keep temperatures low and performance high. When it comes to available drivetrains, after the baseline RT trim, drivers can choose between a 2WD or AWD transmission. When they're all employed, these components deliver a smooth and easy-to-handle driving experience.
The Ridgeline is able to sustain an admirable level of fuel efficiency while still doling out high levels of power. While many other trucks suffer from low mileage, the Ridgeline is able to reach up to an EPA-estimated 19 mpg in the city streets and 26 mpg on the highway in 2WD models.** With such a fuel-efficient setup, drivers will have the luxury of worrying less about finding the next gas station and more about enjoying the ride.
The main component in making sure that the Ridgeline delivers incredible performance at all times is the suspension setup. Help from performance-focused systems and components like MacPherson strut front-suspension, multi-link rear suspension, and front and rear stabilizer bars is instrumental in accomplishing the task at hand.
18-inch silver-painted alloy wheels pair up with the durable all-season tires for sporty-looking and durable shoes. The Ridgeline performance features are all presented on top of these impressive wheels—completing the overall package.
The major contributors to excellent Ridgeline performance have been listed above, but there's still more to see. Plenty of other performance-enhancing features available on the Ridgeline allow drivers to get the most optimized performance out of their vehicle. Just a handful of the features we're discussing can be found below:

Initially, money spent on a tooth replacement might seem better put towards a new car or your investment plan. You might be thinking that a cheap restoration or ignoring your tooth gap would be the most cost-effective option. However, investing in dental implants to replace one or more teeth can actually save you money and your oral health in the long run.
When a missing tooth is not replaced, a variety of issues such as teeth shifting, speech problems, eating impairment, and face shape alteration can occur. The American Dental Association states that plaque and tarter build-up in shifting teeth can cause gum disease and tooth decay. Without investing in dental implants, oral health problems resulting from missing teeth may cost you more in the long run.
Because less expensive restorations such as dentures or dental bridges don't replace the tooth root like dental implants, the jawbone can weaken and gums begin to recede over time. These restorations often require replacement every 7-10 years. Dental implants are designed to last permanently, if cared for with good oral hygiene.
Research shows that around 69% of people in their late 30s and early 40s lose at least one permanent tooth. If you are included in this number, consider investing in dental implants so that you can preserve your smile. To learn more about dental implants, call our Denver, CO New Image Dental Implant Center to schedule an initial consultation.
