Bell's palsy is a disorder that causes sudden but temporary weakness in your facial muscles. It occurs generally when the nerve controlling your facial muscles becomes inflamed, swollen, or compressed. It often results in the smile becoming one-sided and the face appearing drooped. The condition is named after the Scottish anatomist Charles Bell, who was the first to describe it extensively. If you are facing bell's palsy disorder then take proper and effective physiotherapy for bell's palsy in Gurgaon from well experience and famous physiotherapy Dr. Rajesh Pal.
The exact cause of the disorder is yet unknown but is believed to be a result of swelling and inflammation of the nerve controlling the muscles on one side of your face. The patient may face severe difficulty while smiling or closing the eye on the affected side. In a majority of the cases, the disorder is temporary and the symptoms usually go away after a few weeks with complete recovery in about six months.
The disorder can attack the person at any age. However, it is more prominent among people between the age group of 16 and 60. In some rare cases, the patient continues to have some of the symptoms for life.
Although the exact cause of the disease is unknown, it is said to occur when the seventh cranial nerve becomes swollen or compressed, resulting in facial weakness or paralysis. Some texts and medical researchers also propose that the disorder is most likely triggered by a viral infection.
The most prominent symptom of Bell’s palsy is a one-sided facial droop appearing within 72 hours of the onset of the disorder. In some rare cases, it may affect both sides of the face resulting in a totally paralyzed face.
In addition to that, patients of the condition may also report loss of taste sensation in the anterior two-third of the tongue on the affected side.
The diagnosis of Bell’s palsy is often complicated as no specific test has been designed for the same and the symptoms may be a result of another condition like stroke or infections. The doctor may first perform a physical examination to determine the extent of the weakness in your facial muscles. You may also be enquired about your symptoms and asked to move your facial muscles by closing your eyes, lifting your brow, showing your teeth and frowning, among other movements. To diagnosis of Bell's Palsy you need to consult or hire a good physiotherapist for Bell's Palsy in Gurgaon, he/she will provide you a better treatment to cure your disorder.
Some other medical conditions of the likes of a stroke, infections, Lyme disease and tumors may also result in weakening of the facial muscles. Thus, if the cause of your symptoms is not clear, your doctor may recommend other tests like Electromyography (EMG) and Imaging Scans. EMG is performed to confirm the presence of nerve damage and examine the severity of the same. Further, imaging scans are required to eliminate the possibility of presence of other sources of pressure on the facial nerve.
These tests may also include blood tests to check for the presence of a bacterial or viral infection.
A majority of the patients of Bell's palsy recover fully with or without treatment. Moreover, there is no fixed treatment suitable for all patients of Bell's palsy. But Physiotherapy for Bell's Palsy will be effective treatment to cure this disorder.
Although a complete recovery occurs without any complications, a persistent facial weakness may be witnessed after 3 to 6 months. An appointment with a facial physiotherapist may be helpful in such cases. The physiotherapist can work with you to design a personalized treatment plan usually involving some facial exercises.
Physiotherapy has been found highly beneficial and effective beneficial for patients of Bell ’s palsy. It helps to maintain muscle tone of the affected facial muscles and stimulates the facial nerve, thus helping in restoration of the body to normalcy.
Heat can be applied to the affected side of the face to reduce pain, if any. Moreover, it is recommended that you implement some muscle re-education exercises along with some soft tissue techniques prior to the recovery. This will help prevent contractures of the paralyzed facial muscles, thus ruling out any future complications. There is strong evidence has been found to establish the role of Galvanic Electrical Stimulation in the Physiotherapy treatment of Bell's palsy in Gurgaon.

Hadia has happy memories of growing up in Kabul in a family that encouraged her education. She is a university student, plays sports, and hopes to work in foreign affairs.
When the gunmen stopped the schoolbus, one of them got on the bus and yelled, “Who is Malala? If you don’t answer, I will kill you all.” Malala did not hide, but introduced herself to her attackers.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The leader of the Islamic militant group Hamas vowed Saturday to continue fighting Israel, as hundreds of thousands of flag-waving Gazans turned out to celebrate the organization's 25th anniversary.
Khaled Mashaal's visit to the Palestinian territory — a first in his lifetime of exile — underscores Hamas' rising clout and regional acceptance since its eight-day conflict with Israel last month.
At the main stage in Gaza City, a roaring crowd greeted Mashaal and Gaza Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh, who emerged from a door built into a large model of a rocket fired at Israeli cities during the recent fighting.
Hamas' green dominated the gathering, where some children wore military uniforms and others carried guns. Masked gunmen holding automatic rifles flanked the podium where Mashaal gave a fiery speech.
The 56-year-old Mashaal, who left the West Bank as a child and now leads Hamas from the Gulf state of Qatar, entered Gaza on Friday via Egypt.
Hamas has received a boost from the political ascension of its parent movement, the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood, in the wake of last year's Arab Spring revolts — especially in Egypt.
Hamas claimed victory in the conflict after holding its own despite airstrikes and maintaining an almost constant barrage of rocket attacks on Israeli cities.
The Nov. 21 cease-fire stipulated Israel would stop targeting militants. That, along with unprecedented support from Egypt, allowed Mashaal to make the visit without fear of Israeli assassination, which he has narrowly escaped in the past.

The ongoing challenge of America is to ensure that democracy works for all. Here in Florida, we know that challenge better than most. We have been ground zero for elections disasters, both because of extraordinary circumstances, and because of the direct actions of some state politicians.
Under the pressure and scrutiny of state and national politics, Florida all too often has been poster child for non-effective electoral practices, often at the cost of civil rights. The past has only reinforced the notion that state policies are designed to discourage full participation. We only need to be reminded of recent history, when HB 1355 and subsequent resource intensive pursuits of hysteric voter purges made it unfairly harder to vote.
Even if we choose to forget these past transgressions against the democratic process, the truth is that simple rhetorical fixes and vague statements will not restore statewide or national faith in our electoral process. The current rhetoric from the Governor Rick Scott doesn’t fully protect all Floridians and doesn’t go nearly far enough to bring Florida forward. His suggestions are woefully inadequate to address the depth of our electoral issues and the reality of serious lack of public confidence in our voting system.
So instead of leaving the rules of governance to an increasingly political and polarized legislative and executive office, the Right to Vote must become a fundamental right, permanently enshrined in the fabric of our state. It must be protected against the vagaries of political influence and money and enforced by an authority higher than any one party or politician. The legislature should also move to fundamentally shift policy from making voting a confusing process to one that allows people to more simply and straightforwardly meet their civic responsibility. At the end of the day, the rules should be consistent and easy to understand. The process should be accessible and flexible.
Guarantee A Fundamental Right to Vote: Every citizen over 18 years of age in Florida has an explicit, fundamental right to vote and that infringement of that right should be subject to strict scrutiny. Any restriction on voting rights, or any change in voting practices or procedures that would diminish access to the ballot, would have to be narrowly tailored to serve a compelling government interest, with judicial review including a private right of action.
Provide Equal Protection Under the Law – Legislation would establish equal protection standards and remedies for violations of equal protection of the right to vote; prohibiting any form of discrimination in voting by public or private parties; establishing that any differential treatment in voting is subject to strict scrutiny; establishing judicial remedies for discrimination in voting, with a private right of action; and establishing a diverse citizens’ advisory board to review any changes in voting procedures in Florida.
Criminalize Deceptive & Discriminatory Practices – Intimidation and suppression of the vote by private and public parties, including state entities should be strictly prohibited. So should deceptive practices designed to intimidate voters or manipulate the electorate, with a private right of action. Intentional, negligent, discriminatory or wide-scale efforts to limit voting, including intimidating and deceptive practices by government entities, would also be punishable by time in prison.
Pundits will say that such an effort is unimaginable. However, in a state like Florida, with all of our baggage and history, it’s exactly what we have to do. Voters, especially those who stood for hours to cast their ballots last November, have proven that they are more than willing to turn popular political wisdom on its head. They demand and deserve a higher standard.
All the good people of this state know that we crossed a line last year that we should never approach again. We can and will do much better. Patriotism demands that that we fix the structural ways that prohibit people from carrying out one of the most basic functions of citizenship. We owe it to not only past and future generations but also to the idea of America, to succeed.

NASA recently made headlines announcing their partnership with Lockheed Martin to start working on a new aircraft that could make supersonic commercial flight a possibility.
It’s not a new quest.
Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, NASA received many complaints and lawsuits claiming damages on everything from cracked plaster and broken glass to pets dying and livestock going insane. Sonic booms are created when an aircraft exceeds the speed of sound. The boom is the result of pressure waves being created, which can be heard on the ground as far away as 40 kilometres.
The sonic boom can, in actuality, be strong enough to shatter glass. The disruptions caused by sonic booms lead the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to ban supersonic flight. The only commercial aircraft to use supersonic flight was the doomed French-British Concorde, but even then the capability was severely restricted.
With the recent renewed interest in supersonic commercial flight, a look back was inevitable. That’s where the NASA Aerodynamics SST Model offered by Agent Gallery came into play. Agent Gallery had offered the model for sale. The Langley Aerodynamic model was in surprisingly good shape considering it was built to be put to the test and then sat in a storage bin for around five decades. It was a large piece, measuring 51 inches in length and 24 inches in width. The model has already sold, but looking back to where supersonic flight began may help us see where we’re heading.

NEW DELHI: The Army is likely to go for Israeli quick-reaction surface-to-air missiles (QR-SAMs) to take on enemy fighters, helicopters and drones after firmly rejecting any further induction of the much-touted indigenous Akash missiles.
Defence ministry sources said the Army has made it clear that it does not want any more Akash regiments after it gets the first two ordered earlier for Rs14,180 crore, with six firing batteries and hundreds of missiles each.
This marks a major blow to the 'Make in India' policy, especially since the Navy is turning to France for similar requirements after dumping the Akash missiles for its warships due to "stabilisation problems".
"The Army holds Akash area defence missile systems do not meet its operational requirements for defending its strike corps against enemy air attacks in forward areas. Instead, it wants the global route for procurement of four QR-SAM regiments," said a source.
While missile systems from Israel, Russia and Sweden have undergone extensive field trials conducted by the Army, sources said the Israeli Spyder QR-SAMs has virtually emerged the winner in the race.
IAF, incidentally, is already on course to induct four Spyder units from February 2017 onwards. But the force is also progressively inducting 15 Akash missile squadrons, worth around Rs10,900 crore, six of which are meant for the northeast to counter China's build-up of military infrastructure across the Line of Actual Control, as earlier reported by TOI.
But the Army contends IAF is inducting Akash squadrons to guard its airbases that are located in "depth areas" inside the country, while it wants QR-SAMs to defend its formations in the "forward tactical battlefield area".
"Neither does Akash have the requisite 360 degree coverage, nor the 3-4 second reaction time the Army wants. Moreover, Akash has a large radar ground signature with several vehicles required for its missile launchers, multi-function radars and the like," said a source.
With an interception range of around 25 km in all weather conditions, Akash is the first advanced tactical (non-nuclear) missile to be made almost fully indigenously. Both the BrahMos supersonic cruise missile developed with Russia as well as the Barak SAM systems with Israel have an import content of 60-65%.

Thursday April 11, 2019 - Renowned Kenyan scholar and columnist, Prof Makau Mutua, has commented about the ouster of Sudan’s dictator, Omar Al Bashir.
Bashir, 75, was ousted by Sudan’s Army and put under house arrest on Thursday.
In a televised statement on Thursday, Sudan's Defence Minister, Awad Mohamed Ahmed Ibn Auf, said Al-Bashir has been arrested and is in a safe place.
Sharing his thoughts via social media, Makau said Sudanese people should not accept the military takeover since it is civilians who ousted the dictator and not the army.
Makau, who is preparing to vie for the Presidency in 2022, said that the only acceptable option is an interim civilian Government to prepare for free elections.
He also said Al Bashir should be handed over to the International Criminal Court over crimes he committed in Darfur in 2003 where over 1 million women and children were killed by Janjaweed, a militia financed by Al Bashir.
“The people, not the military, brought Sudan’s Omar al-Bashir down. The people will NOT accept a military usurpation. An interim CIVILIAN government to prepare for free elections is the only ACCEPTABLE option. Al-Bashir MUST be handed to the ICC immediately,” Makau said.

For women who are trapped in the limbo of sexuality, there may be a greater tendency to rely on destructive coping mechanisms to distract from negativity, a new study by the American Sociological Association suggests.
Thi study appears in the June issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.
These women lack the clear connection between who they are attracted to and how they identify themselves, which creates a conflict because according to cognitive dissonance theory, humans like to be consistent in their beliefs, behaviors and attitudes. The difference they feel causes discomfort, and they turn to alcohol because of it.
The study, which appears in the June issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior, takes a deeper look into these non-heterosexual women and why they have higher rates of drinking.
“There’s a lot of research that shows people who are not heterosexual — that is, those who are bisexual, gay or lesbian — have higher levels of alcohol-use disorders, but it was not clear what explains that disparity aside from looking at the fact that they identify as non-heterosexual, which was not satisfying to me as a reason, per se,” said Amelia E. Talley, the leader of this study and assistant professor at Texas Tech University.
Talley said there are norms and expectations that go along with certain roles, whether they be internal or external, and failure to identify in a way that is expected might create a negative effect. This discomfort could lead to self-medicating with drugs or alcohol, thus propelling her study.
The study used data from a Chicago Health and Life Experience of Women (CHLEW) study, which followed a group of self-identified lesbians from 2000 to 2010, and it was evident that women tend to be more sexually fluid in terms of behaviors and attractions over time.
A woman may be attracted to women her whole life but one day be attracted to a man. Talley wanted to see if situations like this, where there’s room for discrepancies to manifest in sexuality, correlated with increased alcohol consumption.
After much exploration and research, evidence shows higher levels of discordance between sexual identity and attractions or behaviors may contribute to temporary increases in hazardous drinking. It’s not until the woman reports this disparity that the problematic alcohol use rises.
The results of this study were consistent for non-heterosexual women in terms of race, but age did make a difference. Evidence proves being older could make it more difficult to report or acknowledge the discrepancy between sexual identity and behavior.
As you age, there is a larger society to answer to. People see you in a different way, and you have to explain to family and friends any changes you are exploring within your sexual identity.
People see you in a different way, and you have to explain to family and friends any changes you are exploring within your sexual identity.
Younger women are given more wiggle room when it comes to this situation because they are still in the maturing, discovering stage of life but, “it’s difficult when you get older because of people’s expectations that you should have your sexual orientation figured out,” Talley said.
In a plan to continue spending time on this study, Talley intends to examine in more depth how to capture and measure the sexual orientation self-concept. Right now the only way to measure it is through three factors: your sexual identity, who you are attracted to and who you engage in behaviors with.
She wants to improve on this form of measurement by exploring similar questions in other data sets with college-age women, in which she hopes to replicate the same results from this study in those samples.
Inconsistencies develop when people rethink sexual self-concept, and the distress it causes can trigger unhealthy coping behaviors. Talley wants to understand what it is exactly about identifying as non-heterosexual that puts individuals at risk for these destructive tendencies.

I believe President Donald Trump sees things as Robert Kennedy did.
Robert Kennedy once said, “Some men see things as they are, and ask why. I dream of things that never were, and ask why not.” I believe President Donald Trump sees things as Robert Kennedy did.
The president is doing a fantastic job making America great by changing trade agreements with other countries and generating new business that has turned America into a powerhouse. A lot of new things others never thought of.
The editorial from the Dallas Morning News is a perfect example of men who see things and wonder why. Many letters to the editor trashing the president also fall into this category.
It is incumbent upon every American to see through all the garbled news information and sort out the truth. The truth is that each day America is getting stronger and better with the leadership that was voted to lead.

Lather, Rinse, Repeat playwrights are some of the busiest people in this schtinkin’ town full of schtinkin’ busy people. Aside from all the happenings they host together there’s a slew of happenings of their own design happening seemingly ALL. THE. TIME. We thought rather than keeping all of these delightful events to ourselves we might share them with you, the world, via THE MONTHLY WASH. Let us help YOU stay abreast to everything Lather, Rinse, Repeat and keep you as busy as the LRR gang throughout the month!
So, first on the list is a very exciting FREE reading from our newest member Gina Femia. She’s got a new play in the works, Super, or, How Clark Graves Learned to Fly and we think it sounds well…super.
Super, or, How Clark Graves Learned to Fly is about the shrinking of the middle class as seen through the eyes of a typical American Family – The Graves. Father Samuel has lost his once thriving construction business, forcing the family to downsize significantly. Each member is coping with their personal loss of power differently; Mother Mary is addicted to scratch-off lotto tickets, sister Dot cannot stop picking her skin, Father Samuel has gotten mean and Clark – well, Clark is trying to be everyone’s hero, including his new girlfriend, Laney. When Laney’s dreams of running away begin to seem like they’ll become a reality, Clark must choose between his family and his chance at happiness. Intercut with scenes from Clark’s comic book world, Super, or, How Clark Graves Learned to Fly explores the increasing hunger crisis as it spreads across America, asking the questions How do we learn to Fly? and What does it really mean to be Super?
Fun fact, on top of being a LRR playwright, Jen Browne is an ensemble member with The Deconstructive Theatre project and this week they opened the first of ten encore performances of their show The Orpheus Variations. Inspired by the Orpheus myth and the neuroscience of memory, The Deconstructive Theatre Project’s critically and audience acclaimed performance collides cinema, radio play, and theatre vocabularies into an art-house film created and screened in real time.
Straight from their sold out run at The Public Theater’s Under the Radar Festival you have until February 14th to check out what Time Out NY calls a, a multimedia fantasia.

Inspired by the very place in which it’s performed, The Church of Why Not brings together believers and skeptics, activists and addicts, seekers and lost souls. Some need food, some crave connection others come for help with taxes, tutoring or a Bar Mitzvah. Conceived and directed by Ari Laura Kreith; collaboratively written by Camillo Andres Almonacid, Jenny Lyn Bader and J. Stephen Brantley featuring a diverse ensemble of 18 actors and some music.

super, or, how clark graves learned to fly is about the shrinking of the middle class as seen through the eyes of a typical american family – the graves. father samuel has lost his once thriving construction business, forcing the family to downsize significantly. each member is coping with their personal loss of power differently; mother mary is addicted to scratch-off lotto tickets, sister dot cannot stop picking her skin, father samuel has gotten mean and clark – well, clark is trying to be everyone’s hero, including his new girlfriend, laney. when laney’s dreams of running away begin to seem like they’ll become a reality, clark must choose between his family and his chance at happiness. intercut with scenes from clark’s comic book world, super, or, how clark graves learned to fly explores the increasing hunger crisis as it spreads across america, asking the questions how do we learn to fly? and what does it really mean to be super?

"The sun stands still" before reversing direction ~ that is the meaning of the word solstice. We experience more or fewer hours of sunlight per day. Archetypal symbols of lightness and darkness, summer and winter, maturing and aging and highs and lows flood the mind along with new and remembered sights and sounds.
Your Challenge: Write a poem to share your insights on the events and changes you're experiencing this time of year.
Let me know if you can see, Sumana. 6 people are linked. I linked you, too.
I sent another message to Mr. Linky. He spent about 1/2 hour here and it kept working while he was present. I sent him the times of our three interactions. I'll be back.
Sumana, Mr. Linky wants to know if you see the widget and cannot enter or if you don't see the widget at all?
Try one more thing because it just happened to me. I hit the "refresh page" arrow and it came up with all of its parts!
I promise to have this fixed before the second Tuesday.
I know, right? A special welcome for you.
It's acting up. I put mine in and the linky lost its ability to aadd names. I did this twice. I am now messageing the Linky guys. So Sorry!
And now it's back? What the heck? I'm still sending a note!
Thanks Jae Rose! I'm working with the current Mr. Linky person now!
Thank you, Sanaa. I like it!
Love the R L Stevenson poem I have always had a copy of the A Child's Garden of Versein my book collection.
Our winter is cold for us..18 - 20 degrees which is probably your Spring weather temperature. Nice wearing a coat and scarf but the novelty will wear off in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the prompt.
Bundling has its freedoms--like not being stared at--but I totally understand. Winter here gets into the teens, and I can only take two months of it before I want it to end.
"The sun stands still" ~ i didn't know that was the meaning of solstice. definitely poetic inspiration. i may not be able to participate this week, but it's a wonderful prompt, Susan!
Thank you, dear heart. I hope you have a great week.
Nice! In sync is good, right here and right now!
Mr Linky is a nightmare. This is why I avoid him, LOL. Yikes. I am utterly uninspired right now, my friends, but cranked out a few lines as best I could. The ones I am reading of yours are wonderful.
I've changed Mr. Linky to Mary's way of doing it--that will begin next week. I am so glad this doesn't happen during Sumana's second Tuesdays. I've got to have it fixed by then!
Not sure if my poem really responds to your prompt. But, it's what I wrote. Hope it's ok.
Thanks, Myrna. Not directly, but close enough!
Hi Susan, Great prompt!! But, I hope this fits your prompt! Actually, I wrote the first draft on a trip to Scandinavia....while cruising over the Baltic Sea..... Hope it's alright.
Shall come over tomorrow to read the other entries....its pretty late now.
Yes, Panchali. It's good to see you.
Bad luck with widget. Thanks for the fun prompt.
You are welcome. I linked you in. If you can't see the widget, try refreshing your page. If that doesn't work, know that we're trying something new next week. Maybe you can just respond to those who are in these comments or whho visit your page. Sorry about the problem!
Thank you. I refreshed and updated my link so all is good.
Thanks for your kindness in helping me.
Many thanks for the prompt! This is one of those times that, without a prompt, I'd not have written the poem. And perhaps would not have brought the insights to full consciousness either.
You are very welcome. What a poem!
Hello everyone! I hope you are having a great time whether it's summer or winter at your end. I have posted a poem to Susan's midweek motif here and I think it's a great prompt for my current era. Have a wonderful day!
Thank you, James. Have a great week!
I'll put your link in. We're working on Mr. Linky, but some have said that refreshing the page helps. Try it?
The birds are always the big thing for me...in both winter and summer but in summer there're new birds...the Baltimore Oriole has stolen my heart!
Yes. me too. Here the amazing spring thing is Robins grazing on the lawn. This summer I have gained crows--rare near this city!
Looking forward to visiting - having found this great prompt.

China’s unmanned lunar probe Chang’e-5, set to be launched around December 2017, will bring lunar soil samples back to Earth, says Wu Yanhua, deputy chief of the China National Space Administration.
The just-concluded Chang’e-3 mission marked the completion of the second phase of China’s lunar program, which included orbiting and landing on the moon and returning to Earth. The third phase, which includes unmanned sampling before returning to Earth, will follow the launch of Chang’e-5.
According to Ye Peijian, an expert with the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation Fifth Research Academy, Chang’e-5 will consist of the orbiter, the return vehicle, the ascender and the lander. The orbiter and return vehicle will orbit the moon, while the lander and ascender will land on the moon.
After the lander finishes taking samples, the samples will be placed in containers carried by the ascender, which will then dock with the orbiter and the return vehicle. The samples will be transferred to the return vehicle, which will eventually bring them to Earth.
Hu Hao, the chief designer of the third phase, said Chang’e-5 weighs 8.2 tons and will be launched by the rocket Long March 5.
The mission is expected to achieve five firsts for China since the country initiated its space exploration programs: first unmanned sampling, first takeoff from the moon’s surface, first unmanned docking on the moon orbiting 380,000km from Earth, and first return to Earth with lunar soil samples at a speed close to the escape velocity.
