“Research suggests that daily meditation may alter the brain’s neural pathways, making you more resilient to stress,and will help to relax the mind, body and soul. Find a comfortable spot in a quiet place, concentrate on your breath, and feel those anxieties start to disappear.
Drink lots of water to keep your body hydrated and clean. Toxins can build up in the body if it is dehydrated, which will often clog up the mind.
Listening to your favorite relaxing music can also help put your mind in a relaxed state moreover music you enjoy triggers natural endorphin in your brain, so take a break and listen to some soothing music that you love.
Hands in general can carry a lot of tension. Apply some luxurious lotion and start kneading the base of the muscle under the thumb to relieve stress in the shoulders, neck, and scalp.Moreover a hand massage for instant relaxation that calms a pounding heart.
A large study conducted with 42,093 Japanese individuals found that regular green tea consumption was associated with lower levels of psychological distress. Scientists believe the primary way it accomplishes this is the high doses of the amino acid, which are effective stress busters.
Laughter is a sure fire way to help relax you completely. Whether you spend time with friends and family to laugh or visit your local comedy club,laughing is important and can help reduce stress.
Cut back on stimulating foods such as coffee, energy drinks, sodas, and candy. Also try to avoid processed & artificial foods. You are what you eat so you need to eat healthy to have a healthy mind!
Dark Chocolate: A new study shows that eating dark chocolate may lower levels of stress hormones in people feeling stressed out. Researchers are also investigating other compounds in dark chocolate that may offer other health benefits, such as improved insulin sensitivity,reduced blood pressure, and improved mood.
Do something you love and know will lower your stress level. We have all been living in our bodies long enough to know the things we like to do that will help us relax. Sometimes all we need is a break! Take a nap, get a massage, melt away in a bubble bath do whatever you need to do to recharge yourself!.
You may have heard that your body repairs itself when you sleep. This is true in the sense that your body is allowed some down time. Sleep stress relief helps the body like every other natural stress relief method does. It allows the body's stress hormone levels a chance to return to normal after stress is experienced.Before Perl v5.10 introduced state variables, people did various things to create persistent lexical variables for a subroutine. With v5.30, one of those constructs is now a fatal error.
Often you want a persistent variable to be scoped and private to a subroutine. But, once you leave that scope, normal lexical variables disappear because their reference count drops to zero. So, no persistence.
But, there’s a highly discouraged, ancient trick that does the same thing. If you’ve never seen it, that’s a good thing.
This should have never worked, but it did and people starting using it. Instead of breaking the unintended use of a bug, it stuck around. For a long time, Perl tolerated weird and arcane constructs both in the names of backward compatibility and “we have better things to do”.
This was useful for a long time because Perl didn’t have a way to declare persistent, private variables.

Sonde Health, a vocal biomarker company, and GN Group, a provider of intelligent audio solutions, have signed a multi-year strategic partnership to research and develop commercial vocal biomarkers for mild cognitive impairment. The research will serve as the backbone for new voice-based tools to help at-risk individuals gain timel health insights using GN Group's device technologies and, ultimately, to enable early detection and management of life-threatening diseases for the millions of people living with hearing loss.
By combining machine learning technology and millions of data samples, the human voice can reveal vital changes to mental health. Sonde Health and GN Group will research if subtle and even inaudible variations in the human voice from people using hearing aids can enable early detection of mild cognitive impairment and help predict irreversible diseases like Alzheimer's.
"Wearable technology has, until now, focused largely on tracking data linked to your physical fitness, such as heart rate and sleep cycles. At Sonde, we believe that when embedded within wearables and other medical devices, vocal biomarker technology can reveal deep, actionable insights into health conditions," said David Liu, CEO of Sonde Health, in a statement. "Through this partnership, Sonde Health and GN Group will be the first to scale voice-based cognitive biomarkers to a large population to give people insight into their mental fitness and provide a better and earlier understanding of mild cognitive impairment."
"Sonde Health is a true pioneer in this space, and we're proud to engage in this strategic partnership as part of GN Group's long-term commitment and focus on mental health. Our leadership in sound innovation provides a strong foundation for the advancement of using the voice as a biomarker, and we want to help find new ways of combating dementia, which is particularly prevalent among people with hearing loss,” said Peter Aksel Villadsen, senior vice president of GN Group, in a statement.
Sonde and GN Group are teaming up with several academic and medical institutions to conduct the research. The initial focus of the research will be to identify which measurable aspects of speech are affected by mild cognitive impairment. Sonde and GN Group plan to expand the research into additional health conditions, such as anxiety, depression, dementia, and movement disorders.
"This research is only the beginning of Sonde's next generation of innovation,," Liu said. "The long-term nature of this partnership enables us to accelerate the use of voice in screening for a range of cognitive, physical, and mental health conditions and create scalable technology for integration into hearing aids and other wearable devices."On March 3rd at 1347 E2 responded to a working structure fire in Stafford VA. E2 was the first arriving engine and determined that the fire had started in the rear of the structure and was quickly extending into the attic spaces. The high winds had caused the fire to spread rapidly throughout the entire attic space. E2 aggressively stretched a 1 3/4in line and began a fierce interior fire attack. TheThe Android operating system is a burgeoning platform for deploying mobile applications to users, with more than 550,000 activations per day and an approximate 75% share of the global smartphone market that eclipses the once-dominant Apple iOS [1,3]. This trend is expected to continue, considering that Android's liberal licensing structure, open development environment, wide adoption across multiple hardware manufacturers and carriers, and modern end-user experience make it an attractive platform for both civilian and military use.
The Android security model is a particularly compelling reason for security-conscious organizations to adopt Android as a platform for developing and distributing mobile applications. In this security model, applications must declare a set of permissions that describes the set of privileged actions that might be performed during execution. Examples of such actions include accessing camera data, determining the location of a device, or placing phone calls. Prior to installation, the user must explicitly approve the set of permissions requested by the application. During execution, the Android OS is responsible for ensuring that the application only performs those privileged actions that have been approved by the user.
This containment-based approach to preventing malicious behavior has the benefit of potentially high scalability, since Android applications are not necessarily subject to a manual review process (as is the case for iOS applications distributed in Apple's App Store). Unfortunately, the discovery of Android-based malware in the wild has prompted concerns that the Android security model is inadequate, especially if Android devices are to be adopted in high security environments (eg, the US Department of Defense, the European Commission, etc.) [2] A major drawback of the platform's approach to security is its reliance on user security awareness to detect potentially malicious applications. Specifically, most users are not possessed of the requisite motivation or security knowledge to determine whether an application legitimately requires a declared set of permissions, or to determine whether an attack has occurred at runtime. Therefore, there is a clear and pressing need to supplement the Android security model with the means to detect malicious code and remove the applications that contain such code from Android marketplaces.
Given their centralized nature, Android application marketplaces are well-suited as a venue for deploying static analyses to detect potentially malicious behavior in Android applications. Static analysis has the significant advantage that the entire program code can be analyzed, and thus, it is possible to guarantee the absence of certain, malicious behaviors. This is crucial for governmental stakeholders who might place a significant amount of trust into their applications. Furthermore, marketplaces also present an opportunity to deploy application instrumentation frameworks to remove malicious behavior or harden vulnerable applications against known classes of attacks prior to application installation.
DarkDroid is a joint project between Northeastern University in Boston and University of California, Santa Barbara, that is being sponsored by DARPA since 2012. The goal of DarkDroid is to research static mechanisms for proving the non-existence of malicious code in Android applications. We use scalable and precise static analyses on Dalvik bytecode to discover attacks ranging from privacy violations to unauthorized modifications to critical sensor data. Using the results of our analyses, our tools can then excise the malicious code or harden other apps against attack.
Static code analysis has come a long way; it is nowadays an accepted technique that
