What fun! My daughter and I had so much. Thank you for the wonderful experience. Fun, yes, but not a cake walk, the challenge made it fantastic. Keep it up, we will be back.
Awesome escape room! Our game master was Matt. Hands down the best game master ever. Super funny and involved. He made sure everyone was enjoying themselves and having fun. Will definitely be going back!
Me & my friends made our first visit there last night. We had a lot of fun it was an excellent room & well-thought-out. The decor & everything was excellent even our game master was spot-on & very helpful. We will definitely be back to check out the other rooms.
Went with my daughter and nephew and tried the cabin. We had so much fun! The staff was very friendly and helpful. I felt the clues were well written and logical.

Dodgeball Competition
On Friday, Class six organised a dodgeball competition for teachers, parents and children in Key Stage Two. Teams consisted of 6 players and we had 12 entries so 72 players participated. Everyone paid £1 to enter plus people could come along to watch for the bargain price of 50p! Class six also organised refreshments which were sold at the event. In total we raised over £100 which will go towards our school fund to pay for future trips and exciting opportunities for the children at Bosco to get involved with.
Four teams got a bye straight to the quarter finals, where as the other 8 teams had to compete to reach that stage. Miss Ellicott was trying tobe clever and catch a ball, but amusingly wasn't looking as another ball came her way and hit her on the leg. Her team went out in the first round! Haha.
The quarter finals were hotly contested. All players competed with enthusiasm and skill, but were fair and sporting at the same time.
In the semi finals the Baggie Boys (Year 5 boys) lost an epic encounter against a team of year 4, plus Victor from year 5 and Keenan's dad. The other semi final saw a year 6 triumph through to the final.
Tensions were high as we moved into the final. Keenan, Keenan's dad, Morgan, Arun, Nolhan and Victor took on the Magnificient Muppets – Elliot B, Agata, Brad, Brandon, Dylan and Lukas. This was a great battle and a very worthy final.
Brad worked hard to keep his teams hopes alive as he was left against 3 players. He looked to have won it for his team as Nolhan and Keenan's Dad got hit leaving Keenan and Brad as the only remaining players. An inspirational throw from Keenan left Brad on the floor and gave Keenan's team a deserved victory.
Medals will be presented to the champions in Congrats assembly on Friday.
Thankyou to everyone who took part and inparticular to all of the parents who got involved either by playing or watching. Thanks also to Mrs Hart for scorekeeping, Oliwia, Angelee and Martyna C for organising refreshments, Ethan W for collecting money, Mrs Carter and Mrs Stocking for setting up and, of course, Miss Ellicott for organising the event.
We look forward to the next parent/teachers/children sporting event in the new year! Maybe Miss Ellicott will eventually win one!

Bosco Girls Represent Birmingham
Two of our Year Six girls were selected to play football for the All Birmingham team. Agata and Abbie represented Sandwell in a district tournament and played so well that they were then picked to play for the All Birmingham side. This is a major honour as girls are selected from schools across Birmingham and Sandwell.
Abbie and Agata played for Birmingham on Saturday; Agata in goal and Abbie in midfield. Their side won 4-0 and both of the Bosco girls really impressed. Agata pulled off a couple of great saves and managed to keep a clean sheet and Abbie put in a brilliant, battling performance. She scored a great individual goal in the early stages of the game to give her team a 1-0 lead and she also worked hard winning tackles and using the ball effectively when in possession.
They have both done our school proud. Well done girls!
Girls' Football vs St Hubert's
On Thursday the girls' football team took on St Hubert's (Miss Ellicott and Mrs Finnegan's previous school) in a friendly match on the Hateley Heath playing fields. As Miss Ellicott had to referee the whole game, Elliot Hill stepped up as the team manager; making substitutions,offering tactical and positional advice and shouting encouragement to the team. He did a fantastic job, so thankyou very much Elliot – you're a Steve Clarke in the making!
As it was a friendly match, we decided to have a big squad to give lots of players the opportunity to play. The full squad: Agata, Angelee, Abbie S, Charlie, Abbie H (Captain), Maicie, Taylor, Georgia, Demi, Ellie W and Sinead.
Despite dominating the first half, we were unable to break the dead lock and found ourselves still goalless at half time.
However, early in the second half, Abbie H made the breakthrough after good work by Taylor, Maicie and Sinead led to Abbie finishing cooly past the helpless goalkeeper.
We created numerous other chances but Sinead, Ellie, Taylor and Georgia were all unlucky not to score after coming close.
Maicie, though, did manage to grab another goal after excellent work at the back by Charlie who fed the ball wide to Taylor to cross for Maicie to score.
The final score was 2-0 to Bosco so we continue our unbeaten run.
Player of the match was Maicie who was once again superb in midfield and fully deserved her goal. She's only currently year four so is doing brilliantly against girls two years older than herself.
Thanks to St Hubert's for coming over to play us. The game was played in the right spirit and fully enjoyed by all of the girls. We look forward to the return fixture at St Hubert's after Christmas.
Cinema Trip
On Friday, Class 5 and 6 went to the Walsall Showcase cinema as part of National film week for schools. We went to watch The Muppets. All of the children had a fantastic time, and as always, were extremely well behaved.
The children have now been set the task of writing a review of the film. There will be a competition and the best one will appear here soon.
We will also be sending all of our film reviews to a local school – Leamore Primary – who also attended the cinema with their teacher, Mr Mobberley. In return, they'll send us their reviews of the film and then all of the children will have a go at marking and leveling their new friend's work.
Danny Clews – winner of the film review competition:
Danny Clews class 5
The storyline is about a boy called Gary and he had a brother called Walter. They were both the same height but Gary kept growing. Soon Walter become to like a TV show called the Muppets. When Gary became an adult the story started. He promised to go on a trip with a friend and he got 3 tickets for Walter to come aswell. He mostly wanted to the Muppets studio mostly because he thought he would see them there but when he got there they were not there. He saw Kermit the frog's old home and he sneaked inside soon he heard people coming so he dived under the table. Walter overheard the Muppets stating that they were turning Kermit's old home into a museum Walter loved this idea however he then over heard three bad people stating that they were going to tear it down from top to bottom. This is where the adventure begins.
The acting was fantastic and it looked realistic, the costumes were different and some where funny some were big and some were small all shapes and colours, the songs were packed with comedy and very catchy. The characters are funny and very weird the jokes were childish and funny.
I thought that it was a very entertaining movie and very funny I enjoyed it very much I would say that all school children should watch it as it is perfect for them, adults may not like it because it is a bit childish and silly at times, I would give this ***** stars and watch it again.
Today the girls' football team played as the district team, so representing Sandwell, in a tournament at George Salter Secondary School. Thanks to Darryl Whitehouse for organising the venue.
Firstly, we played Kings Norton. Despite going one down early on, we fought back to equalise, with a good goal from Abbie Humphries direct from a corner.
However, in the second half, Kings Norton grabbed another goal to win the game 2-1.
In the second match we played against Sutton, who were the winners last year. We got off to an excellent start with another goal from Abbie H after Sinead had caused chaos in the Sutton defence. Maicie Golding doubled our lead with a clinical finish after a mistake by their goalkeeper.
Taylor was exceptional in the midfield, causing their defenders problems as well as battling back to help maintain our lead. Some great defending by Angelee and Abbie S as well as some superb goalkeeping from Agata ensured we held on for a 2-0 victory.
Finally, we played Aston. In a very close game we were unfortunate to end up losing 2-0 after 2 fantastic efforts by the Aston striker.
We finished third overall which was a credible result given that we're playing against district teams.
Well done to all of the team – Abbie H, Taylor, Angelee, Agata, Sinead, Ellie, Abbie S and Maicie. Thanks to Luke for doing a brilliant job of managing the team whilst Miss Ellicott had to referee
Also a big thankyou to all of the parents and grandparents for their support on a freezing cold Sunday morning!

Classical Hodgkin lymphoma is comprised of 4 subtypes (nodular sclerosis, mixed cellularity, lymphocyte depleted, and lymphocyte rich).
Nodular lymphocyte-predominant HD affects about 5% of people with HD.
HD is marked by the presence of abnormal large cells called Reed-Sternberg cells. Reed-Sternberg cells are derived from B cell lymphocytes (white blood cells). Reed-Sternberg cells are specific to HD. They are not found in non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Nodular Sclerosis. Nodular sclerosis is the most common subtype, representing 60% to 80% HD cases. Younger people are more likely to have this type. The nodes first affected are often those located in the center of the chest (the mediastinum) or the neck.
Mixed Cellularity. Mixed cellularity is the next most common HD form. It accounts for about 15% to 30% of all HD cases. It occurs mostly in older adults. Mixed cellularity refers to the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells and other cell types.
Lymphocyte Rich. The lymphocyte-rich subtype accounts for about 2% to 7% of all HD cases. It tends to affect men more than women.
Lymphocyte-Depleted. The lymphocyte-depleted subtype is the least common type of HD, occurring in only about 1% to 6% of cases. It is usually seen in older people and people infected with HIV. It is also more common in developing countries. The cancer tends to be diagnosed when it is widespread, affecting the spleen, bone marrow, and liver as well as abdominal lymph nodes.
Stage I: Disease is limited to a single node region or has involved one neighboring area or a single nearby organ.Stage II: Disease is limited to two or more lymph nodes on the same side of (above or below) the diaphragm or extends locally from the lymph node into a nearby organ.Stage III: Disease is in lymph nodes on both sides of the diaphragm or has spread to nearby organs, the spleen, or both.Stage IV: Disease has become widespread involving organs outside the lymph system, such as liver, lung, or bone marrow.
Refractory and Relapsed HodgkinTreatment is considered successful when the signs and symptoms of cancer disappear. This is referred to as remission. Cancer that does not respond to treatment is called refractory or resistant. Cancer that recurs after remission is called relapsed.
Involved site radiation is a type of external-beam radiation therapy. You lie on a table while a machine delivers high-energy x-rays to specific targets on your body.
For HD, the most common type of transplant is an autologous procedure, using the person's own stem cells. An allogeneic transplant, using cells from a donor, is more risky for people with HD and is generally used only when an autologous transplant has failed. Allogeneic transplants are sometimes used as treatments for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. They have a greater risk than autologous transplants for complications such as graft-versus-host disease.

Most of us girls go crazy for shoes almost once a week, if not more. Hell if we had the money and the chance, we would buy new shoes every other day!

Girls how many times has this happened to you? Aren't you glad now that you are not a supermodel so that your embarrassing moments are not for the entertainment of others?!?!


The scenes haunt Tammy Duckworth, director of the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs.
She's in Iraq, flying helicopter missions, looking down on the desert below. She jumps out of the helicopter on the dusty ground, both legs intact. She's doing the work she loves, and it's exciting.
Only, it's a dream, not reality. When Duckworth wakes up in Illinois, struggling through a few moments of confusion, she remembers that she's a double amputee and she'll never fly missions in Iraq again.
It's like having a form of double vision, she says. Close your eyes, and you're there in Iraq, adrenaline rushing, ready for action. Open your eyes and you're here in the States, with a completely different routine.
This multi-layered sense of reality is probably a kind of post-traumatic stress response, she admits.
This Memorial Day, Duckworth talked with me about a new program the state has launched to help veterans--the Illinois Warrior Assistance Program-- which started at the end of January and has helped 5,000 people so far.
Any veteran or active-duty member can call a confidential hotline at 1-866-554-4927 any hour of the day and night and talk to a trained counselor.
And any veteran or member of the military can ask to have a phone screening for post-traumatic stress disorder or traumatic brain injury, developed by experts from the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago.
If he or she comes up positive, he or she can get information from the state about where services are available from the Department of Veterans Affairs or the Department of Defense. Or, if a veteran doesn't want to go to those agencies, private help can be arranged.
For people who have no insurance, the state is prepared to offer assistance.
Q. What are the greatest unmet needs you see among veterans in Illinois today?
A. I would have to say it's access to health care. Our population of vets is spread all over, and they have to travel to VA hospital or clinics. And a lot of the clinics do not provide all the medical services that our veterans need. Anything from chest X-rays to mammograms to counseling services. Many of our vets who don't live in the Chicago area have to travel as far as 50 miles to the nearest VA health care provider.
Q. Has that changed in the last year?
A. There are some things that are more urgent. PTSD is more urgent. Last year, there were not as many returning Iraq and Afghanistan vets who had done multiple tours. And now there are. And that is different in previous wars. In previous wars, you generally did one tour, your 12 months, and you came home. In this war, it's normal for somebody to have done two to three tours.
The Rand Corp. recently did a study that said for a non-commissioned officer that did three tours, 27 percent of them have PTSD. It starts off after the first tour at 12 percent, then rises to 18 percent (after the second tour), then almost a full third of the sergeants have PTSD. And they're the backbone of the Army, the people who keep things running.
Q. What is the Illinois Warrior Assistance Program able to do to help?
A. We are accessing providers outside the DOD (U.S. Department of Defense) and VA system. The VA right now is experiencing a severe shortage of counselors trained to provide services for people with PTSD. We'll, we're not limited to that … we can access providers throughout the state.
On our hotline, you get a trained counselor with a master's degree. So you can get immediate counseling day or night. And there is a doctor or a psychiatric nurse who a counselor can refer to 24 hours a day if they have a caller in a crisis mode.
Part of the process is to get (a caller's) phone number, and then our counselors will follow up with them. And we start a case-management process as soon as they come in. We hook them with our agency to get them signed up for benefits, if that's an issue. We can help them access care through the VA or DOD if they're willing. But if they're not willing because they're afraid, then the state will come in and pay for their treatment through a civilian provider.
Q. What's been the experience so far?
A. The majority of the people calling in are using us to get screening (for PTSD and traumatic brain injury) and access their VA benefits. The majority are not in crisis mode.
Also, Vietnam vets are calling in; they're about 10 percent of callers. They're suffering PTSD that they have repressed for 35 years because they were working and raising families. And a lot of them are turning 60 or 65 and some of them are retiring and their children are gone from the home and suddenly they have to think about that war. That was a surprise to us.
Q. The governor recently spoke out about the need for more continuation of care for vets with brain injuries. What's needed?
A. Outreach. Making sure that (vets) are given the care that is needed that is appropriate for their level of brain injury. What they may need is occupational therapy, coping strategies. These services are minimal. They exist, but generally you have to go to a VA hospital to get them. And the majority of our vets live hours away from a VA hospital. Heck, I live in Hoffmann Estates, and it takes me an hour to drive in to Hines (VA Hospital). That's where I get my rehab. And I have a good job where I can take time off from work. I don't know many vets who are in their 20s who are able to do that.
Q. What would you like to see happen?
A. I think the VA should allow vets to access civilian providers near them.
Q. Do you have PTSD?
A. I think I probably do. Recently, the other pilot in my aircraft sent me an e-mail and said he was deploying back to Iraq. And that night, I closed my eyes and (in my dream) I was in Iraq. It's a dream I have over and over. I'm living an entire day in Iraq. I fly missions. I'm working. There's nothing scary that happens. I'm not reliving getting shot down. It's actually very mundane. But I'm working hard (in the dream) and when I wake up, I'm usually exhausted because I've just spent eight hours on the job in my sleep. And I actually have a little bit of joy and sadness right away. Because in my dreams I still have my legs and I'm flying still, something I love to do. And then, of course, I experience the sadness that it wasn't real.
Our service members need to know these are combat wounds. The same as if you'd been shot or had your legs blown off. I just hope they don't wait to come forward and get help before it's too late.

Politics Trump Paying First Visit to GOP Rank-and-File in Congress
Trump Paying First Visit to GOP Rank-and-File in Congress
Thursday, July 7, 2016 at 5:48 am | א' תמוז תשע"ו
WASHINGTON (AP) -
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump. (AP Photo/David Zalubowski)
Donald Trump is paying his first visit to rank-and-file congressional Republicans, appearing Thursday morning at closed-door meetings of the House and Senate GOP caucuses.
The gatherings come less than two weeks before a GOP convention that a number of leading Republicans are skipping, including some in Congress. And while Trump is sure to be greeted enthusiastically by a handful of lawmakers, many more have expressed skepticism, criticism or outright opposition to a presidential candidate who has flouted conservative principles and divided the Republican Party.
Several have questions for Trump; others have already offered advice that the candidate has not necessarily adopted. Still others plan to skip Thursday's meetings entirely.
Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire, who is in a tough reelection race, told reporters she had to attend an Armed Services Committee hearing at the same time. Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart of Florida said he needed to check his calendar. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida said he was scheduled to preside over the Senate, but that others would benefit more anyway.
"Obviously I'm very familiar with Donald and his positions, I just came off an 11-month campaign where he was one of my opponents," said Rubio, who was often mocked by Trump as "Little Marco."
"So some of the other folks perhaps wanted to spend more time learning more about his positions."
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., who was quick to endorse Trump but has criticized him for going off-script and lagging in fundraising, said he looks forward to "a frank exchange."
"All of us are anxious to win the presidential election," said McConnell, who recently said Trump's campaign is improving. "I think the one thing we agree on unanimously is four more years just like the last eight is not a good place for the American people."
The meetings come as two potential vice presidential picks — Sens. Bob Corker of Tennessee and Joni Ernst of Iowa — indicated that they weren't interested in running on the same ticket as Trump.
The meetings will take place at the political headquarters of the Republican National Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee, within blocks of the Capitol. Trump will meet first with House members early in the morning, and then at a mid-morning gathering with senators.
Democrats are moving to find political advantage from Trump's appearance. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which tries to elect Democrats to the House, released new ads Thursday targeting 10 vulnerable Republicans and linking them to Trump. The ads will be running on cable networks; one of them, "Sidekick," likens Trump to a school yard bully and congressional Republicans to the bully's sidekicks and asks: "Shouldn't they really be standing up to the bully?"

Katrina is a woman, mother, wife, daughter, friend, therapist, teacher, student, and adventurer on a life journey of connection!
She believes that connection is vital to our well-being and without feeling connected (to others, to ourselves, to our soul's purpose) we feel low, lonely, irritable, and unfulfilled.
As a licensed psychotherapist, Katrina witnesses how the power of connection supports children, adults, and families as they reclaim their voice, rewrite their story, and recover from trauma.


Kelly Kelly, Melina and Eve Torres were the guest of Chasing Glory with Lilian Garcia.
During the episode, the three former WWE Superstars talked about the imminent Women's Royal Rumble Match, missing the business and more.
Torres mentions that she's been retired for nearly five years now, and it's really amazing to her how much the business of professional wrestling stays with you, even after you retire. She doesn't feel like she's been retired that long at all, and it's almost as if she could just walk backstage at any point, put on her gear and go work a match.
She admits that she got emotional when she heard about the first ever Women's Royal Rumble match. This match obviously means a lot to the women involved in the match, but it also means a lot to the women who worked for years to make sure that this would happen someday.
She points out that she dealt with a lot of frustration when she worked at WWE. She wanted the women to have a larger role in the storylines during that time and although she pleaded for that, her requests would always hit a wall. She admits that those deaf ears played a part in her deciding to retire.
Torres goes on to say that life on the road is very difficult on your body. It makes sense to live that lifestyle during one period of your life, but at other points it doesn't make any sense at all. As she got older and wanted to pursue other things in life, it made sense for her to step away from WWE.
Kelly informs that she had a feeling when Stephanie came out that night on RAW that she was going to make an announcement about a Women's Royal Rumble. When that finally happened, Kelly couldn't be any happier for all of the women on the current roster.
She felt that the roster of women that WWE had during her era had an opportunity to do groundbreaking things like this, but those opportunities simply didn't arise. It was frustrating back then as a woman, because you'd be given four minutes to work with for your matches. She thought they all made the best of that situation and were still able to make an impact on the shows.
She admits that she does miss performing. She misses that feeling of walking through the curtain and seeing all of the fans, but she's not sure if she'd be able to return to the company at this point because the travel is very tiring.
Garcia asks Kelly if there's one woman on today's roster who she really enjoys watching. Kelly informs that she's very entertained by Paige. She thinks Paige is an amazing performer and she loves the relationship that Paige has with the fans.
Melina informs that it's amazing to her how the fans respect her time in the business now, given that she was such a hated heel during her WWE run.
She points out that everyone wants to be cheered and portraying a heel is actually somewhat of a self-sacrifice. Over time she became much more comfortable with being a heel, but she still longed to be a babyface so she could do more exciting moves in the ring. After being a babyface for a little while, she realized that being a heel was a much better role for her.
Of all the Women on the current roster, Melina informs that she really likes the work of Charlotte, Alexa Bliss and Asuka. She says that she doesn't really miss working for WWE. She cherishes what she accomplished in the business and she has nothing left to prove.

Aviva Showcases How People and Tech Align in the Contact Center
The contact center industry is evolving. Efficiency and responsiveness have long been key performance metrics as brands work to reduce costs while keeping customers satisfied. However, we've entered a new era in which many industries that have long gotten by providing products are being asked to offer ongoing services. As a result, more companies need to differentiate themselves through customer relationships and priorities in the contact center are shifting.
This adjustment is creating an environment in which humans may actually be getting more important in the contact center. A BCG report explained that the recent furor over digital technologies has led to many conversations about widespread automation and digitization in contact centers, with humans expected to be phased out as robots solve customer problems.
"The extra relational touch offered by humans can create stronger customer experiences."
In practice, organizations have come to recognize that bots can automate many processes, but the extra relational touch offered by humans can create stronger customer experiences that open up revenue opportunities, the report explained. The result is a move toward strategic technological investments that allow people to operate at their best.
Aviva is a prime example of this trend, as the multi-national insurance company has used Appian to establish a digital transformation strategy that has unlocked the full potential of human workers in the contact center.

To say that Aviva is one of the most prolific insurance companies in the world might be an understatement. The organization is more than 321 years old and now operates across 26 countries.
This widespread, extended service footprint has led to the creation of a customer base featuring more than 36 million clients. Supporting those customers isn't easy, and Aviva does it with 33 thousand employees who must be able to share data and collaborate. On top of this, Aviva isn't just aiming to keep customers satisfied, it makes client interactions a primary driver for its business.
At a philosophical level, Aviva sets delighting customers as a top priority. The aim is to keep clients around for longer because they are happy, have those customers recommend Aviva to more friends and purchase more products that offer real value. Simply put, customer services isn't just a business unit, it is a central component of the brand's core engagement strategy.
Supporting such an ambitious vision demanded innovation, and long-term work with Appian has helped the firm stand out.
Using Technology to Drive Human-centric Innovation
Beneath the surface, Aviva runs an extremely complicated IT setup. Supporting such large and geographically diverse operations is a major hurdle, creating a great deal of complexity. However, the organization is committed to ensuring all of the technology looks simple from an end-user perspective. To that end, they worked with Appian to establish a customer management system that operates as a central hub for the contact center.
Prior to working with Appian, the front-line customer service advisors would need to jump between anywhere from 12 to 22 distinct systems daily, all while talking with customers and trying to solve their problems. This situation was making it difficult to keep users connected to relevant data and resolve customer problems as quickly as possible.
Appian has enabled Aviva to create an intelligent contact center, putting data in the hands of the people who are serving customers. This layer of intelligence ensures advisors are able to offer excellent service in a manner that aligns with nuanced customer expectations. These operational gains begin with a central screen providing data transparency to contact center representatives.
When a customer calls, the system pulls up a central record screen showing every service and policy the client uses. The 12 to 22 distinct solutions used in the past are now available in one interface, making client data extremely accessible and actionable for Aviva's advisor teams.
With employees positioned to work more efficiently, customers end up having a better experience. Aviva's contact center is now nine-times faster in customer responses.
"Repetitive tasks go to the bots, freeing people to interact with and engage customers, building strong relationships."
These results begin with the central customer record platform, but are also created by smaller business processes and applications that handle more specific functionality. Within the United Kingdom alone, Aviva has rolled out 32 applications through the Appian platform.
Aviva didn't just use the Appian platform to provide data and process visibility, it has also leveraged the platform to employ automation. The company uses Appian alongside robotic process automation as a two-pronged foundation for its process automation strategy. Because Appian allows for tight integration between diverse systems, the organization has been able to set clear parameters for when RPA kicks in and when a task goes to a human. The decision is simple: Repetitive tasks go to the bots, freeing people to interact with and engage customers, building strong relationships.
Using Employee Experiences to Engage Customers
Aviva began its effort to create an intelligent contact center with its employees at the center. The brand recognized that its workers want to do great things for customers. To do that, users wanted the business to invest in them through technology. The result is an easier work life for employees, letting them do a better job for customers.
All things considered, Appian has proven so transformational for Aviva that it has changed what workers expect. When employees have moved to other departments or locations that aren't using Appian, many have said they feel like they've gone back in time because the difference is so vast.
The contact center industry is going through a period of change. It may be tempting to automate customer service operations to such a degree that human interactions are minimized. However, more strategic digitization plans can enable organizations to actually get more value out of their employees.
Investing so heavily in the worker experience can trickle down to customer relationships. To see how, check out our full Aviva customer video embedded above or watch our other customer stories here.
Appian is driving innovation across a variety of sectors through digital transformation solutions that ensure powerful technologies empower people instead of getting in their way. Contact us today to learn more.

Every gal deals with cellulite, some more than others, and for many, it's the bane of their existence. But have no fear, I've got you covered, ladies.
One sure fire way to erase those annoying lumps is by drinking grapefruit juice.
Why is grapefruit juice so effective?
Cut each of the fruits in half and using a manual juice, squeeze the juice from the fruits and place it in a glass. Stir the juices together, and you have your drink!
For best results: Try to maintain a healthy diet free of fatty foods, processed foods, sugars, and deep-fried foods.
Please note: If you're taking any meds, DO NOT drink grapefruit juice as it can counteract the effects of your meds.
Let me know in the comments below what you think about this juice and if it has worked for you!
Avoid These Hidden Sugars to Lose Weight & Acne-Free Skin!
Hidden sugars is one of the reasons why the average adult in the U.S. is culprit of consuming around 22 teaspoons of added sugars every day. Many times, these sugars are hidden in foods meant to be "healthy." Normally, one should only be consuming around six teaspoons of sugars a day if you're female (that's around 100 calories) and nine teaspoons a day (around 150 calories) if you're male.
Why is sugar such a huge no-no? Well, apart from sugar being one of the leading causes associated with diabetes, heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, and cognitive disorders (such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease), sugar is now even linked to cancer.
Now, apart from all those scary diseases, sugar is also a huge culprit when it comes to teenage and adult acne and any other skin conditions (because sugar is known to cause inflammation).
But not all sugars are created equal. The issue isn't with sugars found in fresh fruits or vegetables, but rather it's the added sugars found in the majority of the meals we consume that are the so-called bad sugars.
So how are we to avoid such hidden sugars? How do we know where they're lurking? Below is a list of ten most common "healthy foods" that in reality have more sugar hiding in them than junk food.
So how are we to avoid hidden sugars? Basically, the issue is you must consume the majority of your foods in their natural state (such as fruits and vegetables). Once foods are processed or prepared in factories or restaurant chains, then that's when unneeded sugars and sodium are added.
I'm not saying that you must avoid all of those foods on the list above ALL THE TIME, but try to consume them in moderation, that is the key to maintaining a happy and healthy lifestyle.
Need a healthy alternative for breakfast? Check out my recipes for GREEN SMOOTHIE and STRAWBERRY KIWI SMOOTHIE.
Are you running late and only have five minutes for breakfast? Put down that Pop Tart or doughnut and opt for this nutritional and skin-healthy option instead!
This smoothie not only is it uber simple to prepare, it's also jam-packed with Vitamin C! And we all know that Vitamin C is essential in skincare, especially since it promotes collagen and prevents wrinkling. Who wouldn't drink to that? Plus, the honey in the smoothie aids in preventing inflammation (meaning it lowers your chances of getting pimples, BONUS!).
Place the apple juice, sliced banana, sliced kiwi, strawberries, and honey in a blender. Blend until smooth. Place in a glass or portable mason jar if you're on the go!
Let me know what you think about this refreshing smoothie if you try it!
Masks have always been my so-called beauty crack (meaning that I could never have too many stashed away!). Although face masks are all the rage lately, I still prefer clay masks overall (mostly because apparently I am extremely impatient and can't seem to wait 10-15 minutes without doing nothing at all). At least with clay masks I can still do other beauty regimens (like painting my nails!). I'm all about multi-tasking. I may also love clay masks more because I have naturally oily skin, and always feel like this sort of mask truly combats in soaking up some of my natural oils without drying out my skin.
What It Is: Active charcoal mask to clear pores.
What It Does: Unclogs and clears pores.
Verdict: As I mentioned above, I simply love clay masks because they always leave my skin ultra-clean and refreshed. I've always been a fan of Origins products, so was very psyched to receive this product in my Sephora Play monthly subscription for November. This mask is simply A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! It will make your skin feel brighter and smoother in less than ten minutes! This mask is especially effective for those who like me have oily to combination skin, but it's gentle enough for even sensitive or dry skins to use as well as this mask (unlike some other clay masks) doesn't leave my skin ultra-dried out but rather it leaves it feeling supple, hydrated, but not oily. In other words, it's the equivalent of drinking a tall glass of crisp cucumber-lime water. A more effective way of using this product is to first use a warm, wet towel pressed against your skin to help open up the pores and then to apply a thin layer of the mask all over your face, concentrating mostly on your T-zone. This mask is gentle enough to use twice a week or you can use it on trouble spots more times throughout the week.

That crunching sound you hear is the sound of Duck bills smacking their way through the Arizona Coyotes' lunch. 21-4 was the shot total in period one of the Ducks-Dogs game Friday night. And this without the Anaheim squad featuring its captain. That's right—Getzlaf was out a second straight game. Nick Ritchie, too, though he was spotted the press box.
In their place, Randy Carlyle iced a surprisingly stable lineup, until Kesler got his block knocked off by little Max Domi at the end of the first. That was a one-punch knockout, an uppercut that caught Kesler flush underneath the chin as he struggled to tie up Domi's arms. A second punch was delivered as Kesler was on his way down, but the damage was done. He half-sat on the ice, that cold-cocked look on his face. He had to be helped off to the dressing room.
The lesson: don't mess with the kid with the crazy gene. Remember whose dad had the hardest head in the league for, what, a decade? Yeah, Domi was the name. I doubt this kid will be bothered much in future.
Anyway, the lines had been like this: Rakell-Sgarbossa-Perry was the first unit. What was funny was that that first line played not until the fourth position as the game began, and even then, they took a very short shift and were replaced by the line that had started the game, Cramarossa-Vermette-Kase. Then there was Garbutt-Wagner-Boll. And then Cogliano-Kesler-Silfverberg. But with Kesler gone, the trios had to change. Didn't matter much, though, as the Ducks had already blown out to a 3-0 lead on a bunch of goals that left the Arizona keeper, Louis Domingue, out to dry. He wouldn't return to the net for period two.
The first two goals came on uncharacteristically long passes off the stick of Corey Perry, who normally gets his goals, anyway, from about a yardstick off the goal line. The first was on the PP, and Perry threw a puck out to the top of the circle despite having a lane to the net on the right side, his favorite spot. Bieksa buried a slapper.
The second goal came off a slap-pass from Perry wide across the ice to Rakell, who buried one. Long pass, Perry? You saw it here first.
Period two began with the Ducks up 3-0 and lazy. They allowed the Coyotes to get to their net several times by playing a game decidedly not featuring defense. The Coyotes had four shots to Anaheim's one. Meanwhile, the Ducks were mixing lines so much it was difficult to keep up. It wasn't until about the seven-minute mark that they once again featured the lines they'd started with. Then Kesler came out to take his spot, to a giant cheer, at 8:28.
Fine, fine, a nice moment. But the question has to be asked—smart/not smart? The man had been knocked, at least momentarily, unconscious. He took another blow after the one the rendered him googly. And he had to be helped off the ice.
This is called a brain injury, people, and the result, especially in a 3-0 game that you're only not leading by more because you're temporarily playing shinny, should be that you sit. Down. With a doctor nearby. For the rest of the night. And he'd better not be a PhD. We don't do concussion work.
But that's why there are protocols.
OK, enough. Who really cares what happens in deepest, darkest California in the middle of Friday night with a team from Phoenix in town? Well, the answer to that is obvious—the league should, if the team won't, and there was no reason for this guy to play any more.
Interestingly enough, the Ducks got back to business with him back on the ice. The shots went to 22-8, and then to 26-9, which was proportionally what they had been in P1, and the score upped itself to 4-0.
Arizona got one back as the period started to wind to the end, and they caught up in shots, too, ending period two down 27-17.
They now await Calgary Sunday. The Flames will have played the Kings Saturday at Staples Center.
Shea Theodore is back in the AHL for some seasoning. Mason Raymond refused a send-down to that same league and is now released. Jacob Larsson was sent back to his Swedish team, which was previously agreed if he didn't stick in the NHL. And the aforementioned Ondrej Kase was in his second game. He's from the Czech Republic. Kase registered an assist, his first NHL point.

Scientists discover COVID-19 vaccine
From Fisayo Akinduro, Osogbo
Nigerian Universities' Scientists, under the aegis of COVID-19 Research Group have announced the discovery of a vaccine for the prevention of coronavirus.
Leader of the research group, Dr Oladipo Kolawole who disclosed this during a press conference at Adeleke University, Ede, in Osun, said the vaccine was being developed locally in Africa for Africans.
Kolawole, a Specialist in Medical Virology, Immunology and Bioinformatics, however, said the vaccine would also work for other continent when unveiled.
He noted the study, which led to the discovery of the vaccine, had enjoyed initial funding by the Trinity Immunodeficient Laboratory and Helix Biogen Consult, Ogbomosho, to the tune of about N7.8 million.
Kolawole said the group had been working extensively by exploring the SARS-CoV-2 genome from African countries to select the best possible potential vaccine candidates.
He stressed that after trying out some selected processes of vaccine development, the researchers had been able to choose the best potential vaccine candidates for the SARS-CoV-2 and had made the possible latent vaccine constructs.
On how soon the unnamed vaccine would be unveiled to the public, Kolawole said that it would take a minimum of 18 months.
According to him, this is because a lot of analysis and studies as well as approvals by medical authorities were still required.
Also speaking, the Acting Vice-Chancellor of the university, Prof. Solomon Adebola said the university was poised to assist in the funding of the research with a view to bringing the vaccine to limelight.
"We are glad that a vaccine that will provide solution to a global problem like Coronavirus pandemic is coming from the garden.
"It is our passion to be a solution provider to such a global pandemic, and we are ready to throw our weights behind the team and make the vaccine a reality," Adebola said.
Commenting, Prof. Julius Oloke, the Head, Coordinating Unit of the Research Group and Vice-Chancellor of Precious Cornerstone University, Ibadan, said the vaccine was real.
"It's a pleasure that we have come together to produce a vaccine at a time that the world is in need of solution to a ravaging pandemic.
"It's a proof that we are working and not folding our hands or looking away from the problem.
"The vaccine is real. We have validated it severally. It is targeted at Africans, but will also work for other races.
"It will work. It cannot be faked. This is a result of determination. It took a lot of scientific efforts.
"The population of those that need vaccines is more than those that need drugs. That is why the research focused on vaccine."

Chapter 1: Trying to cool the hell off
It's a really hot day in heaven and Lük, the demon living in his new home in the outskirts, is sweating like crazy. He drools, especially when there's no saliva due to scorching hot temperatures. He decides to go down the neighborhood and sit on somebody's cooler. A stranger exits his house and says to Lük, "Hey, what the hell do ya think ya doin', hellboy?" Lük rebuttals, "Cooling my ass off, kind sir. Now leave me to freeze." The stranger throws Lük off the cooler and says, "Why don't you burn to death in Hell?". "I can't, they won't let me back.", said Lük. "Goddammit.", he also says while taking out a cigar. He sees Bea the angel approaching with some heavy equipment and she says, "Oh, hey, Lük. Whatcha doin' out here? We normally don't see you since you live all alone on a creepy hill." "I like the creepiness, red. What's with the loot you're carrying?", said Lük. "Oh, this. Well, I'm gonna head off to the beach.", said Bea. "Heaven has a beach?", said Lük. "Of course. We've always had a beach here. Where have you been?", said Bea. Lük replies,"Uh, originally, down beneath Hell. But what the hell, I could use some time away from this cute-infested shithole." "Aw, you think I'm cute? Oh you softy.", said Bea before Lük hand palms and says "Just shut up and take me to the beach.". "Righty-o", said Bea. "Why is it that you're incapable of doing both things I said?", said Lük.

Expert Available to Comment on Racial Disparities Throughout COVID-19 Pandemic
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C — LaShawn Glasgow, Director of Community and Workplace Health at RTI International, a nonprofit research institute, is available to comment on COVID-19's impact on the health of racial and ethnic minority groups in the U.S.
Available data indicates that African Americans have higher COVID-19 hospitalization and death rates than whites. Lawmakers and experts have shared that although COVID-19 does not discriminate by race or ethnicity, the pandemic is spotlighting how the conditions we live, work, and learn in—including racism and discrimination—can contribute to health disparities.
Prior to her career at RTI, Dr. Glasgow held program evaluation positions with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state and local health agencies. She leads and advises on evaluations of public health initiatives designed to prevent and control chronic disease and address health disparities.

Jobike: Critical Problem – Simple Solution
Jobike: Critical Problem - Simple Solution - The InCAP
We are always searching for the easiest solution for any problem, and that should be. If you ever visit in Dhaka, then you must face a clinically dangerous problem – Jam. Dhaka Traffic Jam is now a buzzword around the world. Many analysts think over it and try to give the solution, but the end of the day almost none of the structure-based ideas are entirely pragmatic. Our research report shows that plenty of money and time are subject to implement that resolution. At that time one of the team members of InCAP noticed quite a few bicycles labeled 'Jobike' alongside the Mirpur DOHS Road, Dhaka.
He tried to gather some information about Jobike, but he did not feel that enough. Eventually, we invited Mr. Mehedi Reza (Founder & CEO of Jobike) in our Dhaka office.
After a flourishing discussion, we feel that Jobike is not only the solution to the horrible traffic jam, but it is a healthy and robust answer for the transportation problem in a very cost-effective way. The concept of Jobike can simply put in implement anywhere in Bangladesh.
Mehedi Reza – Founder & CEO of Jobike
Conversation With Mr. Mehedi Reza
The InCAP: We want to know the startup story of Jobike?
Mehedi Reza: At that time I was working in Alibaba Group in China and had to come to Dhaka for official purpose every month. In fact, the idea that we are working with Bangladesh, it is not a new idea. This is a solution that we brought to Bangladesh. We do not say that we brought a new concept, but instead, we say that we have delivered a solution. This idea was first invented in China, as well as Denmark and USA. There are bicycles sharing arrangements systems are available in different countries, which is an excellent way to go from one station to another. However, since we are working on that idea, in 2015, the company called 'ofo' started this system first in China. In this concept, you don't need any specific station to park the bike. Without station means you can leave your bike in any place.
The InCAP: When did you feel this idea can apply in Bangladesh also?
Mehedi Reza: When I used to work in China, I often did to drive these bicycles. When I came to Bangladesh, I remember I was going to Walton one day at Motijheel. My meeting was at 3 o'clock, but I could not reach in time because there was lots of jam on the street. I started walking from the Palton, yet I arrived about 15 minutes late. I have to walk; otherwise, I could not reach. At that time, I thought that why we are not applying the same solution in Bangladesh that China has? If so, I could easily reach my destination without walking. Then I returned to China, and I thought about this matter.
The InCAP: Started alone?
Mehedi Reza: When I worked in Alibaba, I had two close colleagues, one of them was Brazilian named William and another was Mexican named Pablo. Both of them told me that why don't you using this same idea in Bangladesh? Now William and Pablo are my co-founders. Afterward, two of my Bangladeshi friends joined with me; we established Jobike with these five people.
The InCAP: Want to know about Market Research of Jobike.
Mehedi Reza: At first, we operated a study at Jahangirnagar University. We conducted a survey among students that how much money they spend on their daily travel and if the bicycle comes, will it be useful for them? From here we got much information. A student of that university spent 80 to 100 taka in the university every day, which is a big amount for the students. After standing upon this information, we set a model for how this whole thing would work. Then I went back to China again.
The InCAP: At that time you used to work in Alibaba, then how did you manage so much?
Mehedi Reza: I remember that from 10 am to 6 pm I used to work in Alibaba and I worked for Jobike from 6 pm to 4 am. Every day we sleep like 5 hours. The time was tough for all of us.
The InCAP: How did you manage the money that was needed to implement this plan?
Mehedi Reza: At first, when we went to our various investors, they did not believe that. They think in Bangladesh it's never possible. At first, they felt that the bikes would be stolen because we think that the Bangladeshis aren't honest at all; our behavior is wrong. But surprisingly by Jobike, we invented that Bangladeshis are really very honest! 30% of bikes of China's ofo company has been stolen, and I am running Jobike six months in Bangladesh. But we have not lost any cycle, not even on! Therefore, we must first change our mentality. At that time I convinced Shamim Bhai, he asked me that are you sure that it will work? I said, of course. Then he invested some of us here, and then I went to Tanvir Ali who is the executive director of the Olympic group. He has invested in many other places such as Chaldal, Pathao, and after this Fahim Saleh who is the investor of Pathao has also invested in the same way. He has another business like Pathao in Nigeria. That's how our Jobike managed the initial capital and started the journey.
The InCAP: Where Jobike launched first?
Mehedi Reza: At Cox's Bazar.
The InCAP: When?
Mehedi Reza: The month of June 2017.
The InCAP: How was the response at Cox's Bazaar?
Mehedi Reza: It was too tricky journey at Cox's Bazar. You need to have permissions from DC, ADC, SP. It will be hard to do conveying the authority that "What's Jobike?" How are we going to generate the benefit? We convinced them that this is not only business. From the view of social point, we are changing people's behavior. We thought that Bengali would never think of running a bicycle on hire and paid the money as per time.
The InCAP: Why you choose Cox's Bazar for the first implement?
Mehedi Reza: From the tourist point of view, it's a healthy mood of transportation we are providing. Tourists want recreation. At the same time, we are promoting the country's tourism industry. Many foreign tourists are coming to Cox's Bazar, but due to the Rohingya Camp, there is not much scope of recreation in Cox's Bazar without the sea beach. There is a thing called TomTom which is very expensive. Now foreigners are coming to Bangladesh and seeing that they have seen the same technology in China, Australia, and many other developed countries, they just feel WOW! So somehow we are participating in the development of the Tourism Industry.
The InCAP: How does Jobike work and what are the technical features?
Mehedi Reza: It's very simple! Firstly you just need an android phone. Then you have to download the app of Jobike from the play store. Then you will have to register with your number. Then there will be a verification code sent via SMS, then input that code manually, and then it will be registered, simple! This is a prepaid system, and you need to refill. We have some sales agents in every zone; you need to show the barcode. Our agent is sitting with a barcode scanner. He gives refill load manually. Very simple.
The InCAP: So refill has done. Now we want to know the next step, about the bicycle rental and security system.
Mehedi Reza: When you open the app, in the app you can see how many bicycles are around your 100 meters. You can follow the map and go to your nearest the bicycle; also we have specific parking spaces, wherever you always get bicycles. There is a smart lock behind every bicycle. The lock will be unlocked immediately after scanning. Once you unlock, it's start counting. According to the minutes, after you lock the cycle, your ride will be finished manually, and it'll pop up and show you how much money is spent. We tell the people to lock it in such a way that there is no difficulty in walking with others, don't make any disturbance of traffic. Lock on a safe side so that other users can see easily.
The InCAP: How much is the charge inside and outside the university?
Mehedi Reza: In the university, every 5 minutes charged 3 takas and outside 1 taka per minute.
The InCAP: Right now in which areas have Jobike's service?
Mehedi Reza: We started with 20 bicycles in Cox's Bazar, and then we increased the cycles. There are fifty cycles right now in only in Cox's Bazar. Recently we launched this service in the Rohingya Camp, from the social point of view; at there Jobike service is completely free. We want to work on climate change, and we want to work on people. There are 27 Rohingya camps in Bangladesh, and there is no transportation system between them. When we started our service in Cox's Bazar, we provided 20 bicycles in Noapara, Bangladesh's first Rohingya camp. There are volunteers and donor agencies over there; they are also used to use this service. As well as we want to work with the United Nations and the Government so that we can provide bicycle service to all camps! Not only this, we have employed two Rohingyas, their responsibility is to maintain the bicycles.
Then at Jahangirnagar University, University of Chittagong, Mirpur DOHS, and Shahjalal University of Science and Technology University – we have started our service.
The InCAP: Within how many days you will spread the service among the Dhaka city as well as the country? What's your next plan?
Mehedi Reza: Very soon we will launch in Gulshan, Banani, and Dhanmondi but at this time we do not want to say precisely how we do it. It can be said that we are thinking differently because there are many problems with traffic in Gulshan-Banani, where will people park bicycles? Because of this, we are thinking about many models where the government's cooperation is a must. Otherwise, it's not possible.
The InCAP: Why don't you start at Dhaka University yet?
Mehedi Reza: Our next target is Dhaka University, Mymensingh Agricultural University, Islamic University, Khulna University, Rajshahi University along with Rajshahi City. Mayor of Rajshahi wants to make Rajshahi a Green City; he invites us. By the 1st of April, we will start our project in all our public universities.
The InCAP: Is there any plan for the whole country?
Mehedi Reza: Of course, we have plans for Bangladesh. By 2019 we will release 20,000 new bicycles in the market, which will benefit at least 500,000 people.
The InCAP: How much Jobike has achieved success so far?
Mehedi Reza: Excellent. We are receiving an unprecedented response. We have 40% female and 60% of the male users on the university campus. They enjoy the benefits of Jobike. There are 20% of new women who could not ride bikes, but now they are learning to ride a bike. They learned to ride bikes by Jobike, isn't it enough!
The InCAP: If there is any damage to the bike while riding Jobike, who will compensate for it?
Mehedi Reza: Actually, compensation must be given by the user according to the rules, but at the moment we are not asking these things from them.
The InCAP: What is your next plan for Jobike?
Mehedi Reza: We have a big dream that we want to work with the United Nations in the near future. We want to work on information and education. We also want to provide employment opportunities to local entrepreneurs. They can also do business with Jobike by operation maintenance, and we are ready to share revenue with them. We aim to spread 1 million bicycles across all over Bangladesh in the next 5 years so that 20 million users can enjoy our Jobike service.
The InCAP: What is your advice to entrepreneurs?
Mehedi Reza: You have to have the entrepreneur mindset. The problem is, we never focus on our dreams. We have to be focused on our goal. You have to choose your partner carefully, and you have to see whether your partner can add value to the business. Excessive dedication and hardworking are needed. We must be clear what we want to do. We do not think about ideas. As an entrepreneur, you should have the ability to see the futures. Our mindset up is griping on easy to give up and blame to others; we should avoid it.

MySQL Enterprise Monitor can help you by giving you real time information about the availability and performance of all of your SQL databases. But what makes it even better is that it is very easy to install.
This is because there are absolutely no configurations involved and no agents are needed. You would also be able to log into the Enterprise dashboard and configure the settings you need in order to get updates from MySQL Enterprise.
All you need to have are the MySQL Enterprise Service Manager, the MySQL Enterprise Advisors and a MySQL Enterprise Monitor Agent. All of these, however, may be installed even when unattended. In fact, you can install and upgrade MySQL Enterprise Service Manager and MySQL Enterprise Monitor Agent on several machines without needing user interaction. You can leave it and then just finish up afterwards.
But even without opting for an unattended installation, getting MySQL Enterprise Monitor up and running on your server is a breeze. In fact, you can install it in ten minutes or even less.
With the ease and convenience in installing MySQL Monitor, there really is no excuse why you should not get all the benefits of installing, deploying and using MySQL Enterprise Monitor on all of your databases.
Welcome! In this presentation I'll demonstrate just how quick and easy it is to get up and running with MySQL Enterprise Monitor or MEM version 3.0. Here, I have a simple shell script, which I'll be running, and in it I'm creating three test MySQLd instances. I'm installing the MEM agent using unattended installation mode and then installing them on server using the same installation mode. And now I actually run the scripts so you get an idea of how long it actually takes and I'm skipping ahead in time but you can see that took about 90 seconds to do the actual installation.
The next step is completing the installation with a one-time setup screen when you first log in. I'm gonna specify the same manager and agent credentials that I used for the installation. Then I will quickly say "Yes" to the default time zone, which is correct for me. The next thing is actually tell the MEM server to begin monitoring my three test instances in MySQLd. Here you can see that it's already picked up on the fact that I have three running but unmonitored instances. Now you can simply tell to begin monitoring them in bulk. The root password is the same for all of them and I'll tell MEM to create the secondary user accounts that it uses for less privileged jobs.
Now we can see that the MEM servers are monitoring my three instances and if we look at the adviser's configuration, we can see that it actually already scheduled all the advisers for each of them as well.
And we are already done. So you can see just how easy it is to get up and running with 3.0 – get everything installed, setup and actually begin monitoring MySQL.
That's all for this video. Thank you for watching and please be sure to look for our other video demos on MEM 3.0!

Babies Love When You Imitate Them, According to Science
If you thought peek-a-boo was your baby's favorite game, think again.
By Kristi Pahr
While it might be annoying when your five-year-old copies everything you do, it turns out that babies love it. A new study from researchers at Lund University in Sweden found that babies perceived adults who mimic them as more friendly than those who don't.
The researchers met with a group of six-month-old babies in their own homes and engaged in four different types of play: direct imitation, reverse imitation, body part imitation with no facial changes, and responding with a motion that differed from the motion of the baby. The majority of babies watched, smiled at, and attempted to approach the researchers who were engaging in direct imitation.

"Imitating young infants seems to be an effective way to catch their interest and bond with them. The mothers were quite surprised to see their infants joyfully engaging in imitation games with a stranger, but also impressed by the infants' behaviors," says Gabriela-Alina Sauciuc, a researcher at Lund University and the main author of the study, in a statement.
Babies who participated with researchers in imitation play were also found to engage in testing behavior–such as hitting a table to see if the researcher would also hit the table. "This was quite interesting. When someone actively tests the person who is imitating them, it is usually seen as an indication that the imitated individual is aware that there is a correspondence between their own behavior and the behavior of the other," explained Sauciuc.

Scientists have speculated that imitation plays an important role in the development of back-and-forth interactions and "shared feelings and intentions" and this research seems to back that up.
So go ahead and take a break from peek-a-boo and get in some good, old-fashioned copycat time with your little one.
