The 10 Best Wireless Printers OB Roundup Wireless printers and multifunction printers (MFPs) have become commonplace in both homes and small offices, and many larger businesses are adopting them as well. Wi-Fi connectivity gives you more flexibility in where you put your printer, and gives you one fewer unsightly cable to worry about. Although wireless printers have been available for about a decade, it's only in the past several years that they've come into their own. Newer Wi-Fi printers offer mobile printing support. A small, but quickly growing, number of printers employ Wi-Fi Direct (or its equivalent), a technology that has the potential to greatly simplify wireless connectivity. One thing that's held people back from buying Wi-Fi printers is the perception that they may take a hit in speed. But which one works for you or your business?
Genetic switch left in 'on' position identified by scientists as likely cause of autism in children - Science - News - The Independent It is the first time that researchers have been able to identify a precise mutation that appears to lead to autism, which is known to have a strong inherited component as well as being influenced by non-genetic factors. There are an estimated 700,000 people in Britain with some kind of autistic disorder, which is more than 1 in 100 people in the general population. There is no cure for the condition but the researchers behind the research believe that it might eventually lead to the development of drugs that could ameliorate the symptoms. Scientists studying the cells of a child with autism found that a key enzyme needed for the developing brain seems to be permanently switched on rather than being able to be switched on and off at different times of normal brain development.

The Curious Dentist - Practice Management, Cosmetic Dentistry, Implant Dentistry This is how optical illusions work We know the mind can be tricked by an optical illusion, but most people don't know why that happens. This video from Inside Science explains just what goes on inside the brain when, for example, a person looks at the dress. In essence, what you see isn't what you get because the brain takes shortcuts to process information. "When you look at something, what you’re really seeing is the light that bounced off of it and entered your eye, which converts the light into electrical impulses that your brain can turn into an image you can use," the video explains. "The process that takes about a tenth of a second but your eyes receive a constant stream of light, an incredible amount of information, so it’s really difficult for your brain to try to focus on everything at once.

MENTOR•Knowledge Is Sales Power Selling to dentists presents unique challenges and opportunities compared to other health care sectors.

Although buying authority within practices can range across several members of the dental team, the primary purchasing power remains mostly with dentists. Therefore, our focus will be on dentists' behavioral traits and buying motivations. When you boil it down, the "triple Ds" of data, demonstration and doing offer the most powerful approach to selling dentists on any product or service. Doing — Dentists are hands-on people.
This optical illusion will make a hole appear in your hand Breaking news: You probably have two eyes. Ok, that's not news, and frankly, this isn't a breaking story either, but it is a neat trick you may want to try if you've got a piece of paper to hand. Roll it up into a tube and look through it with one eye, as if a telescope, while placing your hand over your other eye, a couple of inches from your face. If you look through the tube primarily, it will begin to look like there is a hole in your hand. This is due to a thing called binocular rivalry - ie. your eyes competing for dominance in focus.

Presidential optical illusion offers clues to how brain processes faces | Science An optical illusion that appears after looking at pictures of Bill Clinton and George Bush offers important clues to how the brain and eyes see faces. The illusion is conjured by first concentrating for a short while on the red dot between the two men’s faces. When you look down at the second red dot, between a blended version of the faces, you will likely see Clinton’s face on the left side and that of Bush on the right. The illusion, from "Mechanisms of Face Perception" But the bottom two pictures are in fact exactly the same. The illusion comes from an effect called neural adaptation, or sensory adapation, where the way the brain understands things changes over time. It also means that if you look at Clinton for a while and then look at the merged picture, you’ll immediately see Bush, and vice versa. The image was used in a recent study that looked to understand how the eye and brain actually processes such images.
Time management Time management is the act or process of planning and exercising conscious control over the amount of time spent on specific activities, especially to increase effectiveness, efficiency or productivity. It is a meta-activity with the goal to maximize the overall benefit of a set of other activities within the boundary condition of a limited amount of time. Time management may be aided by a range of skills, tools, and techniques used to manage time when accomplishing specific tasks, projects, and goals complying with a due date. Initially, time management referred to just business or work activities, but eventually the term broadened to include personal activities as well. A time management system is a designed combination of processes, tools, techniques, and methods. Time management is usually a necessity in any project development as it determines the project completion time and scope. The major themes arising from the literature on time management include the following: Some[which?]
There's only one type of brain that isn't fooled by this optical illusion Optical illusions are fascinating because of their ability to suspend reality tricking people into seeing a false image. And research indicates that one particular illusion fails to fool those who suffer from schizophrenia. The hollow mask is an illusion in which viewers perceive a concave, rather than convex face. The average brain perceives the world using a combination of bottom-up (what it sees) and top-down processing (the expectation based on experience), Wired reports. Danai Dima, Hannover Medical University and Jonathan Roiser of UCL put 16 healthy subjects and 13 schizophrenia patients through an fMRI machine, and measured their brain activity when they were presented with the image. Danai said: Our top-down processing holds memories, like stock models, all the models in our head have a face coming out, so whenever we see a face, of course it has to come out. Such is the strength of the connection, it makes the person perceive the illusion even when they know it to be one.
Unit 8: Time Management - Blockage Busters Have you devoted yourself to any of the following systems? So - we’ve outlined a number of popular approaches to time management. You may have tried a few or many of these methods. If you have, you may have found that no method works in isolation, and many together still don’t provide you with the results you want. If we want to create significant change in our results, we can’t just change the behaviour, method or techniques. We need to move from time management to life management based on beliefs that produce quality of life results. A Paradigm Shift The two primary factors that drive our choices concerning how we spend our time are urgency and importance. Many of the traditional time management tools focus us on doing the urgent things. The next chart displays the average amount of time spent in each quadrant. As we can see, many of the things that are important to us achieving our objectives are not urgent. Where did you spend most time last week? Good Versus Best What is the solution?
