From OldTrafford: Martial is the same as Ronaldo, in Manchester United-say Eric Cantona

Manchester United great Eric Cantona gave a glowing review of fellow Frenchman Anthony Martial, saying he is "as strong as" Brazil legend Ronaldo.

Martial's arrival at Old Trafford left many scratching their heads, particularly as the club paid £36 million to acquire the France international.

But the striker has proven a shrewd investment, having recorded 17 goals and 11 assists in his debut campaign ahead of Saturday's FA Cup final clash with Crystal Palace.

Martial's pace, skill in tight areas and nose for goal has seen comparisons drawn between him and Ronaldo, and compatriot Cantona says he is worthy of the praise.

"He's very mature for his age. I think he's the same kind of player as Ronaldo," he told MUTV. "Of course Ronaldo is a Brazilian, but he's as strong as him. Martial is skilful, he wants to score goals and he has good vision.

Cantona said his compatriot had arrived at the perfect club to nurture his talent, just as United did for Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo.

"At Manchester, it's a great club for young players when you are in the academy and also when you are 18, 19 or 20 years old," he continued.

"[At that age] you need to go and play for a great team and also you need to work with people who will help you because you're still a young player, just as [Cristiano] Ronaldo, the Portuguese Ronaldo, did when he came to play for United and for [Sir Alex] Ferguson.

"He had the opportunity to win trophies, but also Ferguson helped him to be the player he is today.

"And I think he [Martial] has been very clever to choose Manchester United."

scietific investigation: Mom's voice activates many different regions in children's brains

 >>>>>>--------------->>>>

Children's brains are far more engaged by their mother's voice than by voices of women they do not know, a new study from the Stanford University School of Medicine has found.

Brain regions that respond more strongly to the mother's voice extend beyond auditory areas to include those involved in emotion and reward processing, social functions, detection of what is personally relevant and face recognition.
The study, which is the first to evaluate brain scans of children listening to their mothers' voices, will be published May 16 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The strength of connections between the brain regions activated by the voice of a child's own mother predicted that child's social communication abilities, the study also found.

"Many of our social, language and emotional processes are learned by listening to our mom's voice," said lead author Daniel Abrams, PhD, instructor in psychiatry and behavioral sciences. "But surprisingly little is known about how the brain organizes itself around this very important sound source. We didn't realize that a mother's voice would have such quick access to so many different brain systems."
Preference for mom's voice
Decades of research have shown that children prefer their mother's voices: In one classic study, 1-day-old babies sucked harder on a pacifier when they heard the sound of their mom's voice, as opposed to the voices of other women. However, the mechanism behind this preference had never been defined.
"Nobody had really looked at the brain circuits that might be engaged," senior author Vinod Menon, PhD, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences, said. "We wanted to know: Is it just auditory and voice-selective areas that respond differently, or is it more broad in terms of engagement, emotional reactivity and detection of salient stimuli?"

The study examined 24 children ages 7 to 12. All had IQs of at least 80, none had any developmental disorders, and all were being raised by their biological mothers. Parents answered a standard questionnaire about their child's ability to interact and relate with others. And before the brain scans, each child's mother was recorded saying three nonsense words.

"In this age range, where most children have good language skills, we didn't want to use words that had meaning because that would have engaged a whole different set of circuitry in the brain," said Menon, who is the Rachael L. and Walter F. Nichols, MD, Professor.

Two mothers whose children were not being studied, and who had never met any of the children in the study, were also recorded saying the three nonsense words. These recordings were used as controls. 

MRI scanning

The children's brains were scanned via magnetic resonance imaging while they listened to short clips of the nonsense-word recordings, some produced by their own mother and some by the control mothers. Even from very short clips, less than a second long, the children could identify their own mothers' voices with greater than 97 percent accuracy.

The brain regions that were more engaged by the voices of the children's own mothers than by the control voices included auditory regions, such as the primary auditory cortex; regions of the brain that handle emotions, such as the amygdala; brain regions that detect and assign value to rewarding stimuli, such as the mesolimbic reward pathway and medial prefrontal cortex; regions that process information about the self, including the default mode network; and areas involved in perceiving and processing the sight of faces.
"The extent of the regions that were engaged was really quite surprising," Menon said.
"We know that hearing mother's voice can be an important source of emotional comfort to children," Abrams added. "Here, we're showing the biological circuitry underlying that."
Children whose brains showed a stronger degree of connection between all these regions when hearing their mom's voice also had the strongest social communication ability, suggesting that increased brain connectivity between the regions is a neural fingerprint for greater social communication abilities in children.

White House Secret service Officer has shot The arm man outside

The Secret Service has shot an armed man outside the White House, according to US officials.

Police told ABC News that a man brandished a weapon at a security checkpoint near the building and was shot in the stomach.The White House was briefly placed on lockdown after the shooting on Friday. President Barack Obama was playing golf in Maryland at the time.The man was transported to hospital with critical injuries, officials said.Vice-President Joe Biden was in the White House at the time. He was taken to a "secure area" during the incident, White House officials said."Secret Service Uniformed Division Officers gave numerous verbal commands for the subject to stop and drop the firearm," security agencies said in a joint statement."When the subject failed to comply with the verbal commands, he was shot once by a Secret Service agent and taken into custody"At this time, based on a preliminary investigation, there is no known nexus to terrorism."

The White House has seen a number of security incidents in recent years, prompting changes at the executive complex.In April, Secret Service caught an intruder climbing over the White House fence.In 2014, Iraq War veteran Omar Gonzalez jumped the White House fence and ran into the building with a knife. Also that year, a toddler squeezed through the gates of the fence and was caught on the lawn.In 2013, one man tried to crash a jeep filled with knives and bullets into a security gate.

HealthCorner: These 6 Exercise Are More Effective In Shaping Your Body Than Running

Although running is considered one of the most efficient workouts to lose weight and get your body in shape, believe it or not, a number of high-intensity exercises will do more for your looks than going for a run.Plus, if you aren’t really the running type, these exercises might be just perfect for you.

1.Burpees

Similar to up-downs with a jump added into the motion, this is a full body exercise that targets your central part and also increases your stamina. After the first couple of sets, you should be able to the increase the speed of your motions. For optimal results, try to do them as fast as you can. Ideally, you should be doing 100 of these per da. The results will be inevitable in only a week.


2.Tuck Jumps

You may think that jumping in place is not as efficient as running, but tuck jumps can actually burn a lot of calories and improve your stamina. Best of all, they don’t ask for a lot of space. When doing tuck jumps, extend your arms in front of you and pull your knees up as you jump, trying to touch them with your hands. As with burpees, try to do as many tuck jumps in one session as possible.

3.Jump Rope

Jumping rope is a great cardio exercise. It burns calories effectively while increasing your stamina. Another advantage is that you can use jumping rope to add variations to mix up your routine, such as: quickening or slowing your pace, tuck jumping, or doing “double unders.”


4.High Knee Sprints

Jogging or running allows you to vary your speed as well as your range of motion to increase efficiency. High knee sprints are actually the motion you normally make when running in place, but you carry on moving forward. This workout is extremely efficient in burning a lot of calories as well as

increasing your heart rate much more than running or jogging. You can either keep the same running pace or, preferably, increase your speed when doing high knee sprints. You can also try to incorporate high knee sprints intermittently into your jog, taking needed breaks to slow your pace before continuing with your jog.


5.Long Jumps

Long jumps require a wide open space in order to be performed effectively. The key thing is to jump as far as you can, so the wider the space, the more effective your workout is. Keeping your feet firmly on the ground, jump as far forward as you can. It’s recommended to do sets of 10-20 jumps for at least three times to build lower body and core strength. This will also improve your balance and coordination, because you’ll have to maintain your balance.

6.Mountain Climbers

This is one of the most beneficial workouts that has amazing effects on your entire body simply because you have to activate your whole body in order to do them effectively. Some of the benefits include increased circulation as well as stronger arm, core, and leg muscles. A few sets of 50 while watching TV is all you need.
