From the pack and brownies sent to us before our initial meeting (by then we were sold), to the tastings at Thomas Towers and his events, we’ve loved every minute of our experience.

As soon as we met Thomas, we knew we’d found our caterer. And in a relaxed setting at Thomas Towers, he got to know us and designed a menu that was perfect for our day.  Filling us with confidence that he would deliver the type of food and atmosphere we were dreaming of, throughout the planning and little worries you get leading up to the day, the food was one thing we never had a doubt about.

As for the day itself, the care and attention to detail was exactly what we were hoping for from Team Thomas. And as our guests tucked into their canapes, they were brilliant at making sure that nobody missed out. They even made sure a dish was put by for us because they could see how busy we were with our photographer.

The food itself was amazing. And our guests raved about everything! Even our evening guests couldn’t believe their luck, when they got their hands on Thomas’ burgers-in-a-box.

We wouldn’t hesitate recommending Thomas and his team to another couple. Without doubt, it was one of the best decisions we made and the whole experience and team has been amazing. The only downside has been saying goodbye! That’s until our 40th anyway!

Our only tip for the day is this. Don’t forget your Thomas selfie! The day won’t be complete without it!  J

Building the Brooklyn Bridge

The history of the Brooklyn Bridge is a remarkable tale of persistence

The history of the Brooklyn Bridge. Designed by John Roebling, construction lasted 14 years, cost $15 million to build, 20-30 lives lost during construction, grand opening: May 24, 1883.

ThoughtCo / Bailey Mariner

Of all the engineering advances in the 1800s, the Brooklyn Bridge stands out as perhaps the most famous and most remarkable. It took more than a decade to build, cost the life of its designer, and was constantly criticized by skeptics who predicted the entire structure was going to collapse into New York's East River.

When it opened on May 24, 1883, the world took notice and the entire U.S. celebrated. The great bridge, with its majestic stone towers and graceful steel cables, isn't just a beautiful New York City landmark. It's also a very dependable route for many thousands of daily commuters.

John Roebling and His Son Washington

John Roebling, an immigrant from Germany, did not invent the suspension bridge, but his work building bridges in America made him the most prominent bridge builder in the U.S. in the mid-1800s. His bridges over the Allegheny River at Pittsburgh (completed in 1860) and over the Ohio River at Cincinnati (completed 1867) were considered remarkable achievements.

Roebling began dreaming of spanning the East River between New York and Brooklyn (which were then two separate cities) as early as 1857 when he drew designs for enormous towers that would hold the bridge's cables. The Civil War put any such plans on hold, but in 1867 the New York State legislature chartered a company to build a bridge across the East River. Roebling was chosen as its chief engineer.

Just as work was beginning on the bridge in the summer of 1869, tragedy struck. John Roebling severely injured his foot in a freak accident as he was surveying the spot where the Brooklyn tower would be built. He died of lockjaw not long after, and his son Washington Roebling, who had distinguished himself as a Union officer in the Civil War, became chief engineer of the bridge project.

Challenges Met by the Brooklyn Bridge

Talk of somehow bridging the East River began as early as 1800, when large bridges were essentially dreams. The advantages of having a convenient link between the two growing cities of New York and Brooklyn were obvious. But the idea was thought to be impossible because of the width of the waterway, which, despite its name, wasn’t really a river. The East River is actually a saltwater estuary, prone to turbulence and tidal conditions.

Further complicating matters was the fact that the East River was one of the busiest waterways on earth, with hundreds of crafts of all sizes sailing on it at any time. Any bridge spanning the water would have to allow for ships to pass beneath it, meaning a very high suspension bridge was the only practical solution. And the bridge would have to be the largest bridge ever built, nearly twice the length of the famed Menai Suspension Bridge, which had heralded the age of great suspension bridges when it opened in 1826.

Pioneering Efforts of the Brooklyn Bridge

Perhaps the greatest innovation dictated by John Roebling was the use of steel in the construction of the bridge. Earlier suspension bridges had been built of iron, but steel would make the Brooklyn Bridge much stronger.

To dig the foundations for the bridge’s enormous stone towers, caissons—enormous wooden boxes with no bottoms—were sunk in the river. Compressed air was pumped into them, and men inside would dig away at the sand and rock on the river bottom. The stone towers were built atop the caissons, which sank deeper into the river bottom. Caisson work was extremely difficult, and the men doing it, called “sandhogs,” took great risks.

Washington Roebling, who went into the caisson to oversee work, was involved in an accident and never fully recovered. An invalid after the accident, Roebling stayed in his house in Brooklyn Heights. His wife Emily, who trained herself as an engineer, would take his instructions to the bridge site every day. Rumors thus abounded that a woman was secretly the chief engineer of the bridge.

Years of Construction and Rising Costs

After the caissons had been sunk to the river bottom, they were filled with concrete, and the construction of the stone towers continued above. When the towers reached their ultimate height, 278 feet above high water, work began on the four enormous cables that would support the roadway.

Spinning the cables between the towers began in the summer of 1877, and was finished a year and four months later. But it would take nearly another five years to suspend the roadway from the cables and have the bridge ready for traffic.

The building of the bridge was always controversial, and not just because skeptics thought Roebling’s design was unsafe. There were stories of political payoffs and corruption, rumors of carpet bags stuffed with cash being given to characters like Boss Tweed, the leader of the political machine known as Tammany Hall.

In one famous case, a manufacturer of wire rope sold inferior material to the bridge company. The shady contractor, J. Lloyd Haigh, escaped prosecution. But the bad wire he sold is still in the bridge, as it couldn’t be removed once it was worked into the cables. Washington Roebling compensated for its presence, ensuring the inferior material wouldn’t affect the strength of the bridge.

By the time it was finished in 1883, the bridge had cost about $15 million, more than twice what John Roebling had originally estimated. While no official figures were kept on how many men died building the bridge, it has been reasonably estimated that about 20 to 30 men perished in various accidents.

The Grand Opening

The grand opening for the bridge was held on May 24, 1883. Some Irish residents of New York took offense as the day happened to be the birthday of Queen Victoria, but most of the city turned out to celebrate.

President Chester A. Arthur came to New York City for the event, and led a group of dignitaries who walked across the bridge. Military bands played, and cannons in the Brooklyn Navy Yard sounded salutes. A number of speakers lauded the bridge, calling it a "Wonder of Science" and lauding its anticipated contribution to commerce. The bridge became an instant symbol of the age.

Its early years are the stuff of both tragedy and legend, and today, nearly 150 years since its completion, the bridge functions every day as a vital route for New York commuters. And while the roadway structures have been changed to accommodate automobiles, the pedestrian walkway is still a popular attraction for strollers, sightseers, and tourists.

George Orwell: Novelist, Essayist and Critic

Edmond O'Brien, Jan Sterling in '1984'
Columbia TriStar / Getty Images

George Orwell is a novelist, essayist and critic. He's famous as the author of Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four.

List of Novels

Nonfiction Books

  • 1933 - Down and Out in Paris and London
  • 1937 - The Road to Wigan Pier
  • 1938 - Homage to Catalonia
  • 1947 - The English People

Animal Farm

In late 1939, Orwell wrote for his first collection of essays, Inside the Whale. For the next year, he was busy writing reviews for plays, films and books. In March 1940 his long association with Tribune began with a review of a sergeant's account of Napoleon's retreat from Moscow. Throughout this period Orwell kept a wartime diary.

In August 1941, Orwell obtained "war work" when he was taken on full-time by the BBC's Eastern Service. In October, David Astor invited Orwell to write for him at The Observer — Orwell's first article appeared in March 1942.

In March 1943 Orwell's mother died and around the same time he was starting work on a new book, which turned out to be Animal Farm. In September 1943, Orwell resigned from his BBC position. He was set on writing Animal Farm. Just six days before his last day of service, in November 1943, his adaptation of the fairy tale, Hans Christian Andersen's The Emperor's New Clothes was broadcast. It was a genre in which he was greatly interested and which appeared on Animal Farm's title-page.

In November 1943, Orwell was appointed literary editor at Tribune, where he was on staff until early 1945, writing more than 80 book reviews.

In March 1945, Orwell's wife Eileen went into the hospital for a hysterectomy and died. Orwell returned to London to cover the 1945 general election at the beginning of July. Animal Farm: A Fairy Story was published in Britain on August 17, 1945, and a year later in the U.S., on August 26, 1946.

Nineteen Eighty-Four

Animal Farm struck a particular resonance in the post-war climate and its worldwide success made Orwell a sought-after figure.

For the next four years, Orwell mixed journalistic work – mainly for TribuneThe Observer and the Manchester Evening News, though he also contributed to many smaller political and literary magazines – with writing his best-known work, Nineteen Eighty-Four, which was published in 1949.

In June 1949, Nineteen Eighty-Four was published to immediate critical and popular acclaim.

During most of his career, Orwell was best known for his journalism, in essays, reviews, columns in newspapers and magazines and in his books Down and Out in Paris and London (describing a time of poverty in these cities), The Road to Wigan Pier (describing the living conditions of the poor in northern England) and Homage to Catalonia

Modern readers are more often introduced to Orwell as a novelist, particularly through his enormously successful titles Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four. Both are powerful novels warning of a future world where the state machine exerts complete control over social life. In 1984, Nineteen Eighty-Four and Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 were honored with the Prometheus Award for their contributions to dystopian literature. In 2011, he received the award again for Animal Farm.

Adoptable Storage: All You Need to Know

by Brandon Ackroyd - , Last Updated on January 24, 2019, How To Guides

For a long time, storage was one of the most expensive parts of a new mobile phone. Sure, buying a small 4GB or 8 GB device was pretty cheap. More than that though, and you'd be paying a fair chunk of change. However, times are changing, and with more people using cloud storage, and even internal storage becoming cheaper, plus the advent of SD cards, mobile storage isn't quite the problem that it used to be. However, with the new Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system, there's a new storage choice on the market: adoptable storage. What is it? How does it work? Do you want to use it? That's what we're here to find out!

The Storage Question

Let's start with the basics here, what is storage used for, and why might you want more of it? Your mobile uses either internal (built-in) memory or external (usually in the form of an SD card) memory to store everything you put onto your device. That might be music, or photos, videos, apps or downloads. The more storage you have, the better, since when storage begins to get full, it slows down your phone, eventually getting to the point where your device will refuse to do things (such as update your email inbox) until you free up some of that storage space.

Nobody wants to go through their phone deleting pictures or music or whatever, so in general, having lots of extra storage is a good thing. This is particularly true with the new top end phones that can shoot 4K video since these video files take up immense amounts of storage. There are various ways to get more storage: you can get a cloud account (DropBox, Google Pictures, etc.), you can add an SD card to your phone (if your phone supports it), or you can suck it up and buy a new phone with more memory. And now, thanks to Android, you can also use adoptable storage.

What is Adoptable Storage?

The concept is relatively simple, though maybe a little difficult to explain. In essence, adoptable storage is when your phone “adopts” an SD card. Let's take a step back for a second here. Many phones these days, particularly Android phones, have a slot for an SD card. You buy a card, slot it in, and bingo, you've got 32 GB or 64 GB of extra storage at your disposal. However, that SD card storage can usually only be used for storing things like music files and photos. But… if you allow your phone to “adopt” your SD card, then the card will essentially become a part of the phone's internal memory, and can be used to store music files and photos, but also to store apps and operating system updates, and pretty much everything.

How it Works

If you already have the Marshmallow update, then adoptable storage is straightforward. Slide in your SD card, switch your phone on, and you'll be given two options. You can use it as a “portable” device (i.e. as a traditional SD card), or as an “internal” device (i.e. as adoptable storage). Make your choice, and your phone will do the rest. Simple, right? Now, this all sounds very well and good, and as you already know, having more storage is a good thing, but there are some pretty heavy downsides to choosing adoptable storage.

The Bad News

Okay, let's start with the big one. Once you have chosen to use your SD card as adoptable storage, you can NO LONGER REMOVE IT. Yep, that's right. Because the card will be used to store all kinds of things, including files that help your phone run smoothly, such as system updates, you cannot remove the card. Ever. This is a big downside because the reason that many of us choose to use an SD card is that it makes file transfer easy. You can get all your mobile photos onto your SD card, slide your SD card out and slip it into your computer, and all your photos are now on your PC. But, and we repeat this only because it's so important, an adopted SD card absolutely cannot be removed from your phone, so you no longer have that easy file transfer benefit.

The second big downside here is that using adoptable storage can slow down your phone. Your phone's traditional memory is reasonably fast, and no SD card can match those speeds. Some can get close (and if you're really set on doing this you need to buy a UHS or Class 10 SD card for the best speeds), but none can match it. That means that there's a chance that your phone's performance will suffer. Depending on the kind of SD card you buy, you may even get a message on installation that tells you the card you are using is too slow or is below optimum speeds, in which case you might want to reconsider your decision.

So, Why Use It?

There are only three reasons why someone would choose to use adoptable storage right now, and two of those are not related to mobile phones. Adoptable storage can be a good option for tablet owners since the benefits of having lots of extra memory on a tablet outweigh the possible downside of slightly slower speeds. If you happen to have an Android TV Box, adoptable storage will be great for you, since you'll be able to store more data and you won't need to worry about speeds at all. Finally, if you've got a phone that you otherwise love, but it just doesn't have enough memory, then you might want to try the cheaper option of using adoptable storage before committing to buying an expensive new phone.

Given all of this, you might be wondering why Android bothered with adoptable storage at all. However, there is a lot of potential here. Once the speeds of SD cards get faster, adoptable storage will basically let you add as much memory to your phone as you like. You won't need to buy a new model, you won't need to spend tons of cash on a big memory model phone, you can spend a few pounds on a cheap SD card, and you'll be good to go. For the moment though, adoptable storage isn't the best option for most of us.

With innovative tire, Israeli start-up reinvents the wheel

With innovative tire, Israeli start-up reinvents the wheel

Galileo’s new dual-use design smooths a path for agricultural, military and other off-road vehicles

Google and Apple are working on cars that drive themselves, and the rest of the auto industry is touting smart, Internet-connected cars. But while the upper part of the car – the engine, passenger compartment, and body – have been upgraded over the years, little if anything has been done to improve tire technology.

But that is about to change, thanks to an innovation developed by Israeli start-up Galileo Wheel. According to CEO Alon Hayka, Galileo has “developed the first innovation in tire technology in five decades. One hundred years ago the bias (diagonal) ply tire was invented, and fifty years ago they developed the radial tire. We have a new design that will solve many of the problems with tires, especially for agricultural, industrial, and military use.”

Once Galileo conquers those fields, the company will turn its attention to the huge consumer market – specifically to owners of SUVs and recreational Jeep-style vehicles, said Hayka. “Our design is ideal for use on and off road, because it provides better control, a wider footprint, more stability, and the ability to transform between tire and track mode, depending on what terrain the vehicle is riding on.”

Using its proven technology – in the past, Galileo tire designer and Chief Technology Officer Avishay Novoplanski developed designs for tires that could climb stairs – the company recently turned its attention to the $10 billion agriculture vehicle business, designing tires for tractors, farm trucks, and other other agricultural vehicles. Galileo, along with Mitas, a Czech company that is one of the world’s largest producers of tires for agricultural vehicles, produced a beta model for the commercial market, which Hayka believes will be on the market in the next year or so.

Galileo was one of a dozen start-ups that presented their technology at the annual Go4Israel conference in Tel Aviv Monday. Considered one of the most important gatherings of international investors in Israel, the conference discussed issues relevant to investors and start-ups, including raising funds and establishing strategic alliances between corporate, entrepreneurs and investors from around the world. Companies presenting at the event included firms in hi-tech, life sciences, renewable energy. Among the investors was a large delegation from Europe, particularly France, and from China.

The Chinese presence in particular was noticeable at the conference, said conference chairman Edouard Cukierman, who heads the Cukierman & Co. Investment House and is Managing Partner of Catalyst Funds. “With an increasing presence of Chinese investors at the Go4Israel conference, which are now the world leaders in investments in Israel, we can help open new global opportunities and create new relationships between entrepreneurs and international investors. Israel as a country and Israelis as business partners have a lot to offer worldwide.”

At first glance, the Galileo design looks somewhat flat because of the air pocket that seems to hang at its side. That pocket is essential to maintaining stability on different surfaces, said Hayka. “When the surface is rough and unstable, the tire rides flatter covering more surface, like a track, the solid belt tread under tractors, military vehicles, and the like.”

That’s useful on rough surfaces, but on a normal, paved surface, a track does not provide the air cushion needed for a comfortable ride, he added.

That’s been the choice until now, said Hayka – either a solid track for moving along rough surfaces, which provides greater flexibility for uneven surfaces, mud, rocks, etc., or a cushioned, air-filled tire which provides a stable ride on paved surfaces but is too rigid to allow for a comfortable ride on rough surfaces. In technical terms, that means that a Galileo tire can switch from between 17 psi (pounds per square inch, the standard measure of air weight for tire pressure) to zero psi.

“Unlike standard radials, the Galileo Wheel tire is able to alter its geometry. The new geometry provides significant increase in ground contact area. And unlike tracks and radial tires, the Galileo Wheel tire evenly distributes the machine’s weight on the ground. Combined with its larger footprint, this can mean a major reduction of ground compaction,” he added.

“This is the third evolution of the tire, closing the gap between stability and comfort,” said Hayka. “We’re starting with the agriculture market, but obviously this will be useful in many other areas, including forestry, mining, military applications, and of course off-road vehicles for the consumer market.”

Galileo’s benefit is not just a matter of comfort – but a matter of money, too, said Hayka. By more efficiently hugging the ground’s surface, the tires can more evenly distribute the weight of the vehicle they are carrying, resulting in less “rutting” and hence fewer difficult-to-cultivate areas in fields, Hayka said. “In addition, it provides for much better fuel consumption, since the vehicle doesn’t have to work as hard to remain stable.”

The tires, produced by Mitas, are currently undergoing beta testing in several European countries, he added.

It sounds like a great idea not only for farmers, but for drivers as well, who sometimes get stuck in the mud, snow, and other surfaces that normal tires have a hard time dealing with. “The consumer market is definitely on our agenda, but that is going to take some time,” said Hayka, “Anything having to do with cars needs to be tested out very carefully, and that alone could take years. But I believe that this tire will eventually be on a lot of vehicles, in a lot of places. It’s the first real advance in tire technology in a long time.”

3 beard styles to know and love

November - or Movember, as its known in some circles, is almost right around the corner. If you haven't heard of Movember, here's a rundown. It's a social movement that began a few years ago as an effort to bring awareness to men's health issues through facial hair. The traditional meaning combined "mustache" and "November," as the men participating were expected to let their upper lip fill out for the entire month. These days, it's also common for men to simply stop shaving for four weeks, giving November another moniker - No-Shave November.

In honor of this obscure yet popular month of awareness, we'll be providing all of the information you could desire about facial hair styles and trends. Up first - three well-liked beard silhouettes for your favorite man.

1. Scruff

Sometimes called the five o'clock shadow when it's on the shorter side and often referred to as stubble, scruff is perhaps the most popular beard style right now. It's all about letting his facial hair look natural, yet coifed. Like applying makeup that makes it look like you aren't wearing any, or perfecting the art of purposeful bed head, flawless scruff can take practice. The stubble look is appropriate for any social situation, whether it's a business meeting or a formal event. In its analysis of personalities compared to beards, The Huffington Post explained that scruff tells people that a man is trendy and likes to look laid back, while still putting in effort.

Depending on the desired length, this style can take between two days and two weeks to grow out. According to Men's Journal, one of the best tips to make stubble look unintentionally perfect is making your guy use a trimmer to fade the hair length out around his neck. Once it's neat and ready to go, he should apply ELEMIS S.O.S. Emergency Cream to soothe any irritation from shaving.

2. Short and sweet

This particular beard can give off many vibes, according to The Huffington Post. Academic, scholarly and old-fashioned are a few of the words that were thrown around, but it's quite a versatile style that you can see men of all ages and backgrounds donning.

The best way to for a man to achieve the full yet trim look is by letting his facial hair grow for about a month. He can either completely stop shaving until its at the desired length or maintain a tidy shape while the hair thickens. Men's Journal recommended he use a handheld mirror to keep the line between attractive beard and neck beard apparent. The bottom of his beard should meet the top of his Adam's apple, then follow his jawline from there. Be sure he uses ELEMIS Ice Cool Foaming Shave Gel before he cleans it up for a close shave.

3. Circle beard

Most people aren't sure what to call this beard, but it's often referred to as the circle beard or a connected goatee. Those names explain the shape, but here's how your man can have a stellar circle beard. The ideal hair length is about three weeks of growth. He should use a trimmer to make an outline of the correct borders, then apply ELEMIS Smooth Result Shave & Beard Oil and shave the areas around the beard clean. Men's Journal explained that it's best for him to use the corners of his mouth as the guides for each side of the goatee portion, however there should be enough hair on left near the mouth so the beard and mustache are connected. The goatee is meant to extend to the chin bone. Circle beards should be maintained with a trimmer every couple of days, according to the source.

“What you did this morning is already old news,” says Zak Mascolo which is why Advanced Education is one of the most important programs we offer at TONI&GUY. Hairdressers are responsible for staying current and educated on the newest trends. Without advanced skills, you are unable to stay on top of your clients evolving needs. As a hairdresser, it is vital to update your personal repertoire and portfolio to advance in your career.

What is Advanced Education?

Our Advanced Education has been around since the beginning. Under the direction of Creative Director’s Austin Finley, Lindsay Baker, Stephen Jaime and Jared Jaime, our senior art team members and educators are responsible for creating and teaching new techniques.

We offer a variety of advanced classes based on cutting, coloring and styling principals. Our classes are offered in Costa Mesa California and Dallas, Texas.

While Creative Painting Concepts is the most popular color course focused on balayage and trending coloring techniques, such as ombre balayage and hair painting.

Creative Concepts Course with Ethan Miller

This past week we sat in a creative painting concepts course with Technical Education Director, Ethan Miller to observe how to create foilyage. Foilyage is the newest hair trend, that is an upgraded version of a balayage for darker hair using foils for an added lift in the color.

The course is usually offered a few times during the year and lasts two days. The class began with the terminology, methodology and theory presentations. The first day covered the basic ombre techniques to refresh the hairdressers. The second day was used for advanced visual paint on techniques with a live demo.

The before image above shows the model has an icy light blonde look. After her live demo with Ethan, she was given an iridescent blonde for more of a golden color, shown in the picture below.

Students are encouraged to be interactive in classes, giving examples and possible scenarios to make it personal and salon viable. Classes are hands-on for a salon life experience.

Top 10 Creepiest Stories From Children You Heard About

Our children have a lot of weird fantasies or you can say strange stories which always tell us about. This is because sometimes their deep imagination simulates a strange things to them. When you hear these stories, you will laugh. In this list, you will see 10 of strangest and creepiest stories that you have ever heard from a kid before.

1 Bloody Girls

Some kids speak about “Bloody Girls” in their rooms and they describe every thing about them; they tell about their names, what they wear and what they are talking about. One of these children said that these bloody girls were in a small white car which fell in the water. The water turned into the red color and their parents are so sad. This child said that the bloody girls love their rooms; as it is filled with a lot of toys.

2 The shadow man who talks to me through my window

We can hear this story from a lot of children. The child can say that the shadow man is looking at him and keeps talking to him all night. This is also because of his deep imagination.

3 Walking During Sleep

Another child walks and talks during his sleep. This child was talking while sleeping in the middle of the night, he was sitting in his bed with opened eyes, saying that “Naughty mummy… Naughty daddy… No more mummy… no more daddy.” Then he laughed out loud and went sleep again.

4 The dead Bird

Another child saw a dead bird, so he told his father that he knows where to bury it; as this place can make this bird come to life again.

5 New Daddy

A young child told his mother that he liked his new daddy and when she asked him who is this new daddy? He told her that his first daddy stabbed him in the back and died. So, he liked his new daddy; as he did not do this to him like his first daddy.

6 The Old Woman

One night, a child waked up and told her mother that she wanted to sleep with her; as the old woman at the window was being mean for some reason.

7 To Live With Jesus

A young girl told the friend of her mother that she would put a towel over her face and send her to live with Jesus!

8 Be Careful

A little girl told her parents that there was a member of the family was drowned in the lake before her birth. Her father asked her where he was. She told him that he was in the garage and warned her by saying “Be Careful”.

9 Jimmy

A girl told her mother that jimmy who did it, the mother asked her who was jimmy and what he did? She told her that jimmy killed his mother in that room.

10 The cat

Another story is about a girl who saw a cat playing with something which stopped, sat down and stared at a spot in the wall. Her mum had begun to pray while she stared at the cat in confusion. She picked up and snapped it out the trance where it jumped out her arms. Her mum scolded her, saying it was a Jinni.

So, our children have a lot of stories to tell, but most of them are not real.

Top 10 Most Effective Ways to Improve Your Cognitive Ability

Normally, we are interested in the cognitive development of children and infants, while many adults do not bother to develop cognitively. They should try to, especially since researches have shown that cognitive function can reduce premature aging and raise life expectancy. You can be younger than your chronological age by making certain lifestyle choices, including those, impose or challenge the brain. Researches in the past 20 years have shown that certain brain regions of adults can generate new neurons and synapses. In fact, every time we learn something new; to participate in new activities or even think about a new concept, the brain reconnects in response to those activities. As babies, adults can continue to grow and, as they do, protect their cognitive function of the brain.

There are many effective ways to build better understanding and reduce the chances of developing cognitive impairment, dementia or Alzheimer diseases later in life. Here are ten recommended methods to develop your cognitive ability.

10 Physical exercise to strengthen the cognitive performance

In December last year, researchers at the University Medical School in Boston (BUSM) have found evidence that physical activity is beneficial to health and knowledge of the brain. They found that certain hormones that increase during exercising can help improve memory. Scientists have been able to connect the blood hormone levels of aerobic fitness and identify the positive effects on the memory function linked to the exercise.

9 Reading and watching TV

To your brain, there is a difference between watching “The Bachelorette” and a scientific show or educational program. Watching TV enriches cognitive effort to understand when the “aha” It takes a spark or questions, ideas or time. The same is true for reading. The tabloid celebrity magazine has less challenges to the brain than the Smithsonian. Develop new connections inside your brain by reading something that is informative, not just for fun. After reading or watching television, keep reminding yourself of what you just learned. It increases your information retention ability.

8 Take up a new hobby

Increase your cognitive enrichment, adopting a new action, research requires learning, not only attending a baseball game or concert. Explore various areas seeking a good hobby that suits you; gardening, collecting antiques while researching their origins and the history of places, periods they belong to, raising chickens, learning a foreign language, selling things on the internet etc. Read books, talk to experts, take classes, lectures or join organizations related to your hobby. These activities help your brain develop new connections between neurons and offset the loss of cells due to aging or a disease.

7 Solve all kinds of puzzles

Puzzles are a great way to build new connections in the brain. There are many types of crossword puzzles include acrostics, cryptograms, and other puzzles oriented words. Some puzzles have no words at all, such as Sudoku. Solving puzzles is a quite amazing activity for the brain to find diversity. You can start with a guy, and as you get better, switch to other types of puzzles. Your brain will be challenged with all kinds of puzzles. Replace the puzzle that is simple with a harder one, encourage your brain to do, learn new things, because they will activate it to develop new memories to overcome the new challenges.

6 Play Games

Researchers are developing a better understanding of specific mechanisms of electric pulse patterns, called “tops”; they trigger a cascade of changes in the neural circuits of learning and memory. In a report published in April 2013, researchers at Tel Aviv University found that the environments “rich in stimulants” and riddles to solve could be effective in preventing or delaying the onset of Alzheimer for some people.

5 Visit museums, zoos and historic sites

In February 2014, the psychology professor John Cacioppo of Chicago University, presented the results of his research to identify the health consequences of feeling that can cause psychological and cognitive decline. He found that Cacioppo feelings isolated from others can disrupt sleep, raise blood pressure, increase the level of the stress hormone cortisol, alter gene expression in cells of the immune system, increase depression and reduce the general well-being subjective… These factors combined can disrupt the optimum correlation function of the brain and impaired cognitive function.

4 Be a student again

Numerous continual courses are available that do not require you to be a regular attendant in a study program or university. Sign up for one or two courses at any time. There are relatively inexpensive courses on social faculties. As a student, you will have many opportunities to learn new things, and most instructors do their best to help you remember learned information.

3 Attend workshops

Workshops, conferences and other meetings are where experts in different fields transmit their knowledge offering another way to enhance cognitive skills; active learning. While many of them are offered via person’s work, others are available for anyone interested.

2 Reduce stress

Scientists have known for decades that the brain needs sleep to consolidate learning and memory. At the annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in San Diego, in November 2013, scientists of Brown University introduced new innovative research that helped to explain the details of how the sleeping brain is dominated by a new duty.

1 Address depression

Depressed people are more likely to suffer from cognitive disorders later in life than those without the problem of depression. As with stress, many people who are depressed just run to the family doctor and say, “give me something to get rid of depression”. There are ways to achieve durable results, in addition to drugs, including individual counseling, exercising, spiritual growth, establishing goals and a career rejuvenation, and many other techniques.

Isle of Bute Tri

Emma takes on a fun race on the Isle of Bute and claims her second win of the Season…

Triathlon number 2 of the Season and it was off on a boat to the Isle of Bute. It was a mini adventure just to get to the start line – with high winds and heavy rain, mixed in with a boat ride (which was not ideal for someone that suffers from sea sickness)!
I had heard lots of great things about this small race from several fellow triathletes. So with my new found plan of trying lots of different races, I thought I would head across to Bute and give it a go.

With the weather in Scotland still on the chilly side, this was another pool swim, followed by a pretty hilly out and back bike ride – where we were tested to the limit by the strong winds. The scenery was beautiful though to make up for the weather and then it was a 3 lap run, with lots of hardy supporters on route to cheer us on.

With a not bad swim, an honest bike and a pleasing run, I managed to get my second win of the year and a cheeky second overall too. Although I was given a beautiful bouquet of flowers and champagne for winning, it was hot chocolates on the ferry on the way home to celebrate!
